When Chen Jian woke up, he found Bai Yao sitting there across the penny and smiling at him. He stood up and stared at her in surprise for a few seconds. Was it a dream? He was so dizzy that he felt like he was going to faint. Immediately, he realized that his neckline was a little loose, and the corners of his mouth still had the scales of the fish he had eaten raw before he fell asleep, and Bai Yao looked at him calmly, and his slender and clear right hand did not know where to go.

"Bai Yao?" Chen Jian made a voice that did not belong to him, as if his throat had been cut open, which was very sharp.

"I've heard you're very sad. Bai Yao winked at him.

"Really?!"

He stepped on it with one lunge, and the wooden boat shook violently.

"Alright, Rose, look at you," said the madman, unashamedly, "I have already said that the White Maiden will be able to save the day!"

Chen Jian didn't bother to bother with him, and couldn't help hugging her: "It's really you! How did you escape from the waterfall snake?" I saw ...... See you're being eaten. ”

"Wait," Bai Yao was surprised by Chen Jian's move, and after the two hugged for a moment, she gently pushed him away, "Now is not the time to talk about this." ”

"But—" Chen Jian looked at her confusedly, not understanding why now was not the time.

"When I swam from Huang Shenyuan, I found that two white-eyed birds were also following. She whispered so that she wouldn't be heard by the birds hiding around her—or maybe they weren't there at all.

"Two white-eyed birds. Chen Jian was taken aback.

"Haha," the madman laughed twice, "Rose, young people are too impetuous, and it is difficult to achieve great things without calming down." ”

"You were scared out of your mind. Bai Yao ruthlessly exposed the madman.

The madman said without changing his face: "I am an old man, and my ability to bear it is limited! White girl, I said what's the matter with you, once you escaped death, it has become even worse!" He pretended to be angry, and everyone was used to it.

Chen Jian didn't have time to listen to the madman's nonsense, he waved his hand to signal the madman not to speak, and then asked:

"They're coming for us?"

"I don't know, but we've seen one of them before. ”

"Gu Eagle?"

"You know it?" Bai Yao was surprised.

"I remembered it when I fell for its illusion. Chen Jian looked at the empty cuff on Bai Yao's right and felt that it was his fault.

Bai Yao saw Chen Jian's intentions, raised his left hand and patted him twice on the shoulder: "It's okay, you can grow it by eating something." ”

"Hmmm......"

Unlike severed arms, once digested into food scraps by the creatures here, the flesh must be restored by eating.

During this time, it was almost rain or shine, and Chen Jian was about to forget this rule.

"What about the other white-eyed bird?

"I hid under the water, I couldn't see clearly, all I knew was that it was white-eyed, and it looked like a magpie. ”

Hearing this description, Yumin's whole body trembled.

Do you want to tell the human beings the information about the love magpie? Once she says it, there is no turning back at all, but the current situation is not urgent enough to turn against the humans.

The two of them must have come to destroy themselves, but the love magpie is more reasonable than the Gu eagle, and she still has a chance to tell the love magpie the reason for all this.

After thinking about it, Yumin decided to wait a little longer. But what happened next left her helpless—

Bai Yao suddenly turned to look at Yu Min. Yu Min was frightened by those translucent eyes, she wanted to move her gaze, but Bai Yao's scrutinizing gaze made her dare not act rashly, she had an ominous premonition, once she was defeated here, her identity would be recognized by this veteran traveler.

"We don't know your name yet. ”

Ah, so she wanted to ask about it!

At this moment, she thought of Master Qiqi, so she said without thinking:

"My name is Qiong Ming. ”

"What a strange name. ”

Bai Yao's words made her break out in a cold sweat, could it be that the people of the Yu Republic had other ways to choose their names?

"Qiong Ming," Bai Yao's expression was serious, "you woke me up at that time, right?"

"What's going on?" the madman roared, scaring Yumin a lot.

Chen Jian stared at Yu Min's eyes tightly, he could sense that this girl had lost her soul, she was hiding a secret that she had not revealed from beginning to end.

What is it?!

Seeing that Yu Min didn't speak, Bai Yao simply said more clearly: "Why are you the only one who is awake when we all fell for the Gu Eagle Illusion? Are you a bird?"

"I ......"

"I've been suspicious of you for a long time," Bai Yao's eyes were grim, "I've heard that there is a white-eyed bird that has the ability to transform into a human, but you can't fully become a human, so you pretend to be a feather folk to cover up this beak and wings—am I wrong?"

What to do?!To be killed!

Yumin screamed inwardly.

She regretted that she woke up Bai Yao at that time, if it was Rose or a madman, these two sluggish men would definitely not notice the difference, and would only take it for granted that Yu Min was lucky, but Bai Yao was different, the two of them had been together as "women" for the longest time, and she knew her situation best.

How don't you die in the mouth of the waterfall snake!

Yumin cursed Bai Yao viciously in her heart, but there was still fear and panic on her face, trying to get the sympathy of the two men - she didn't think that this look would make them biased towards her, and it was better than nothing.

"Qiongming, is that really the case?"

Chen Jian was surprised, but Bai Yao's words did make him recall some key moments, when everyone was in the illusion, he heard a sharp shout, it was Qiong Ming shouting, the sound was both like a person and like a birdsong, it hit his brain for a while, and it sounded briefly in the empty and silent illusion, but it was quickly covered by the sound of a baby, causing him not to realize that there was a second voice in the illusion at that time.

Try to recall it again, and the voice echoed in my mind shallowly, like a dead log popping out of the water—

"You said 'run'. That's right, right?" White Fang grabbed Yumin's hand, not letting her take advantage of it.

That's right, it's "run away". Chen Jian remembered, and he thought it was auditory hallucinations at the time.

"You're mistaken......" Ummin suddenly calmed down, she shook her head, her slender hair swaying, "Because I'm Yumin." Bai Yao, you are a traveler, don't you know? Many of the power of the bird monster is ineffective against us, and the white-eyed bird called Gu Eagle is the same, I only heard the sound of a baby, and when I came back to my senses, I found that you were all frozen in place...... That's why I want you to run away. ”

She doesn't feel good about degrading herself as a "bird monster", but for now, she can only justify it.

Yumin saw doubt in Bai Yao's gaze, and at the same time saw a trace of unfirmness, for her, the slightest wavering was the hope of escaping this catastrophe.

"Is that so?" Bai Yao seemed to believe her words, and besides, she was not completely sure.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Chen Jian fell into deep thought:

Is there any loophole in this person—or the bird—and why did she become a feathered and blend in with us? Investigate the movements of other humans? Why bother with the white-pupiled bird if it was able to cross the Yellow Abyss? Is it trying to take credit?

"Runaway" ...... This seems to be a doubt, but it doesn't mean anything, because it is reasonable to infer from our state at that time that we are deprived of our senses, and it seems understandable to say "run away......

Chen Jian's soul seemed to have become a villain, everyone stood in two factions, and there was a fierce debate in their heads.

"That's it......" Yumin nodded weakly.

Bai Yao was silent for a long time, bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm thinking too much." ”

Yumin was delighted. His own performance was undoubtedly a success. Bai Yao showed a guilty and relieved expression, as if to say that she had just escaped death, and her head was a little unconscious; looking at the madman's expression, the old man should completely trust his own statement, his survival rules made him not think too much about things, once Bai Yao agreed, the madman would also follow the traveler's advice; as for Rose, he looked wavering, but she was confident that she could convince him with her performance later.

Bai Yao put his arm on her shoulder, leaned into her ear and said, "Just keep acting, Yumin." ”

Her blood seemed to freeze—no, it was running backwards, and the temperature of her body suddenly dissipated, and she looked up at Bai Yao blankly.

When she saw those white eyes, she understood.

This woman is not in vain at all.

"Shhhh
