Chen Jian grabbed the life-saving straw, and the madman suddenly quieted down.

The madman almost approached Bai Yao: "You're not joking?"

"Of course. Bai Yao gave him a blank look.

"When did this happen?" Chen Jian's question was more pragmatic.

"Don't be stupid to stand here, let's talk as we go up the hill. Bai Yao took a step, and the other two followed, "At that time, I didn't get the time disk, but after getting the time disk recently, I have regained my sense of time, and it is estimated that two years have passed." ”

"Two years ......"

Chen Jian suddenly wanted to know how long he had been in purgatory, but even if Bai Yao had a time disk, he couldn't calculate how long he had been here, he buried this doubt in his mind, and continued to ask, "Your master didn't say how he left at that time?"

"No," Bai Yao sighed, "Travelers often come up with all sorts of strange ways to escape, and sometimes they improvise that they don't spread out, which is the case with my master—he drank a little wine that day, and he was dizzy, although I asked him, but he didn't say anything, and the next day after we parted, we never saw the master again." Bai Yao said with certainty, "No one has heard from the master since then, and he must have left purgatory." ”

Hearing this, Chen Jian suddenly hesitated whether to continue to take the thunder drum. Bai Yao's master sounded like he had found a more convenient and simple way to escape, and letting the Fengfeng clan dig a pit might not get a good result, but taking the thunder drum might upset the balance between humans and birds.

When Chen Jian hesitated, the madman and Bai Yao actually chatted, and the two walked quickly, leaving Chen Jian behind.

The madman didn't want Chen Jian to look ahead and backward like that, after he heard that Master Bai Yao had left, the first thing he thought of was not how to find out how to leave, but to be sure that he could indeed leave purgatory. In fact, he knows Purgatory better than Chen Jian, and understands that some people who leave Purgatory are full of coincidences, and instead of being shackled by the methods of their predecessors, it is better to believe in themselves and let the Fang Feng Clan dig down to find the new world under the land.

Chen Jian hurriedly stepped forward to follow, listening to their conversation on the sidelines.

He knew that Bai Yao's master was also a traveler—obviously—who had saved Bai Yao from the mouth of a man-eating beast, and Bai Yao had since worshipped him as his teacher, and the two explored the borders of purgatory together. Her master had gone to the East China Sea beyond the East China Sea, where the purgatory-bound people were commonly known as the "Outer East Sea".

The Outer East China Sea is far more extensive than the East China Sea, according to the master, "If the East China Sea is a village, the Outer East China Sea is a city", Bai Yao gave more accurate data: the Outer East China Sea is about twice the size of the East China Sea. She reached as far as the center of the Outer East China Sea, which was a hundred times steeper than the mainland, full of man-eating sea monsters, and the climate was quite strange.

Bai Yao said, suddenly changed his words, pointed to a building that looked like a temple on the high mountain and said: "That is the first residence of the Yellow Emperor, let's go in and have a look." ”

"Does the Yellow Emperor still have any residences?" Chen Jian sighed, "It's really extravagant." ”

"I don't know, I guess it's specially used to put artifacts. Bai Yao explained, "I heard that every residence has defensive measures, so we need to be careful." ”

"Defenses?" laughed the madman, "does that kind of thing work for us? ”

Bai Yao didn't think so: "Who knows, why don't you take the lead?"

"No problem. The madman patted his chest with a big grin and walked in front of Bai Yao.

"Rose," Bai Yao suddenly called out Chen Jian's pseudonym, so that he didn't react for a while, "Where are you going to let the Fang Feng clan dig a pit?"

Chen Jian hadn't thought about this question yet, and he wondered, "Is this necessary to choose?"

"Not really. In fact, there have been travelers who have tried to dig a pit," Bai Yao's words Chen Jian suddenly lost confidence, but the next words made hope reappear, "But they all gave up, do you know why?"

"I don't know. ”

"Because you can only dig up to a height of one zhang at most, and then you can't dig down, and the deeper soil is so hard that you can't dig it in time, but you can't dig down at all. Having heard that the digging had been going on for nearly a hundred years, the travelers were convinced that they could not go any further, so they stopped trying this method. Bai Yao said, "But one thing is certain, there is indeed something underground, and Purgatory forbids us to explore. ”

Bai Yao knew that digging a pit would not succeed, so why did he still help us? Chen Jian asked, "Do you know where you can continue to dig deeper?"

"Yes, I know. Bai Yao nodded and sighed abruptly, "But things are quite difficult. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"There is an extremely cold place in the north called 'Black Abyss', where the soil is hard but brittle and can be dug deep - this is the news brought back by travelers who escaped from the north alive. ”

"Northern ......" Chen Jian gradually understood her worries.

Bai Yao nodded: "It's the country of interesting birds, Emperor Shaohao occupies the north, and we can't go over." ”

"Isn't there such a place in the south?" Chen Jian thought after taking a step back.

"As far as I know, no. ”

"That's going to be hard...... Even if you get the thunder drum, there's no place to dig it-"

"Haven't we worked in vain!" said the madman who had walked in front of him grumbled when he heard their conversation.

Chen Jian would never let his hard journey in the past few days be wasted, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Where is the black abyss?"

"North. ”

"Where?"

"I don't know," Bai Yao shrugged, "but I can take you to meet the traveler later, he has been in the south all these years to recuperate because he has been stimulated a lot in the north, and it is quite difficult to talk to him, and the traveler has barely learned the information of the 'Black Abyss' from him." ”

"Wow, what is this?!" the madman suddenly shouted.

Chen Jian and Bai Yao hurriedly ran over, only to see a huge clotted object in front of the madman, which emitted a burning stench, Chen Jian hurriedly covered his nose: "What is this?" he couldn't help but ask.

"It's bird droppings...... Bai Yao looked at the bird droppings the size of a fist, and fell into deep thought, "There are birds here before." ”

"Was it sent by Emperor Shaohao?" Chen Jiandong looked around, but he didn't see any trace of the bird, nor did he hear the sound of the bird, only the surging waves of the East China Sea in his ears.

"Come into the house and have a look!" Bai Yao pushed the madman into the house.

"Hey, why am I going ahead?!"

"Didn't you just say you were going to take the lead? ”

"Did I say that?" he pretended to be crazy and stupid.

"I said, go!" Bai Yao glared at him viciously and shoved him into the house.

The door was slammed open, and the madman fell inside.

"What's going on inside?"

"Nothing. The madman uttered a confused voice, "Are we in the wrong place? He walked out, stretching out his hands and shrugging.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed through the dimly lit room.
