It took some time for Ye Liancheng to enter the cave. Seeing Ye Liancheng, who had been twisted into an inhuman appearance, slid out of the hole, Zhang Kezhao felt in pain, and everything he had just experienced was staged again, and his heart was surging, thinking who had carved out such a strange passage? Is it this mountain movers?

The Mountain Mover is probably the most prestigious prisoner in Purgatory. In the dim light, he couldn't see the face of the mountain movers, his silhouette was angular and quite tough, very different from the mountain movers buried under the central mountain and weeping bitterly, no wonder he said that he had deceived the judge, and Zhang Kezhao immediately believed it. The aura displayed by the mountain mover was completely in line with his words.

After Ye Liancheng woke up, he asked the same thing as Zhang Kezhao, he asked where this was, where did he come from, and who was the other person?

The mountain movers patiently answered them one by one and led them deeper into the cave to introduce the place.

"Ever since I heard about the Black Abyss, I've tried to sneak into the Bird Country, cut a path in this place, and I've been digging down ever since. ”

He chuckled proudly.

"I used to be a mountain movers, but now I'm a mountain digger, and thanks to more than 10 years of excavation experience, I know the properties of stone and dirt very well, I know where to dig and where I need to avoid, I can hear the sound of the rocks and avoid the eyes of the birds, who have a keen sense of smell and good hearing, and if they make too much noise underground, they will definitely attract attention. ”

"Why is the gap so narrow?"

Zhang Kezhao was puzzled, since it was done by manpower, at least it was enough for one person to pass.

"It's been so many years, it's normal for the passage to collapse. "I wonder how anyone could have discovered that entrance, which should have been completely buried." ”

"It's a little strange to say that, it's such a big opening, the birds will always find it, right?"

"Probably not. "Do you know what the entrance room is for?"

"I don't know, it's all steaming, and I can't see anything clearly. Zhang Kezhao shook his head, "I only saw a pillar in the middle, and next to it was a tripod filled with mercury." ”

"The birds call that kind of thing 'thangka', I don't know what it is, but their attention is always in the center of the room. Actually, a long time ago, when the entrance to the cave was not buried, a few birds probed in, but they were not like you, they got in and were crushed, so they gave up. I thought they were going to plug the hole, or report it to the birds at their superiors to find out more—they didn't seem to care. ”

Ye Liancheng and Zhang Kezhao glanced at each other.

Human skin thangka?

The two didn't know that this dross had died out in the world. But it's cruel to know just by the name.

"In any case, it's a fate that you can come in. ”

The mountain movers have a kind of elegance that is beyond the world, making people feel that this is not purgatory, but a certain high-ranking person who lives in seclusion in the mountains.

"Do you feel it?" asked the mountain mover, "and the farther you go in, the colder it gets." ”

"Hmm. Zhang Kezhao and Ye Liancheng replied at the same time.

"I've found the abyss," he muttered, "but I can't find a way in." ”

"How to get in?" Zhang Kezhao frowned.

He suddenly thought of something: he had come in with all the difficulty, how should he get out later, and how could he report the matter to the commander? Looking at the mountain movers, it seemed that they had never thought of leaving, they had only one way.

"You will know when you arrive. The mover's tone was tinged with distress. "I'll go on. I didn't dig this cave, but it existed, and I just happened to dig it, so I used this clearing as a place to rest on weekdays, and I could also observe the entrance by the way, and the road was quite narrow when I went inside. ”

"The same as just now?" Zhang Kezhao shuddered for a while.

"Of course not. The mountain mover laughed, "I've been going back and forth between this place and the edge of the black abyss all these years, enough for one person to walk normally. ”

"That's good. Zhang Kezhao breathed a sigh of relief.

"What the hell is the Black Abyss?" Ye Liancheng asked.

"Probably an exit from purgatory. "The mountain mover has no affirmation, which is very far-fetched.

"I've heard some rumors about Kurobuchi, but I've never thought about it carefully because Kurobuchi is in the Bird Country. ”

"By the way, how did you get into the Bird Country?"

Zhang Kezhao told the mountain movers in detail about what had happened in the past few years of the man-bird war, and the mountain movers nodded slightly after hearing this, and made an emotional voice.

"It seems that the Yellow Emperor is a successor. ”

The two were noncommittal.

The Yellow Emperor is the greatest human in Purgatory, he forced the Bird Kingdom to abide by the oath of non-aggression against humanity for more than five or six hundred years, if Ross can lead the human race to completely destroy the Bird Country, it will be remembered by all the prisoners and aborigines of Purgatory. And, if he finds the Black Abyss...... The prisoners who leave Purgatory will worship him as a god.

Zhang Kezhao was suddenly jealous of Ross's foresight.

Why did he think so much when he was just one of many?

He glanced at Ye Liancheng. The head of the Cantonese Friendship hero didn't seem to have the same thoughts as him, the footsteps of the three echoed in the dark tunnel, and his eyes flashed with only the desire to escape.

"Master Ye," Zhang Kezhao asked, "how are we going to tell Ross about this place?"

Ye Liancheng was stunned when he heard this, he was so bent on arriving at the Black Abyss that he completely forgot about it.

"Do we have a way to get out, mountain movers?" he asked.

"Is it safe out there?" asked the mountain movers.

“...... A lot of white-eyed birds have already died, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the humans will end in a great victory. Zhang Kezhao said.

"Then don't worry, humans can always find out what's wrong with the hole, if they win. "If they fail, you'd better not think about going out." ”

Zhang Kezhao nodded. The mountain movers were right, if the humans didn't win, they would have to hide in it for a while, for how long......

Zhang Kezhao asked: "Mountain movers, how many years have you been here?"

"How do I know?" the mountain movers' smile echoed in his ears, "There is not the slightest change of light and shadow here, a day is like ten years, ten years is like a hundred years, I can't figure it out." You probably know better than I know how long I've been gone. ”

"I heard that it was 600 years, from the time you buried yourself under the central mountain. ”

"Six hundred years have passed," said the mountain movers, without showing any melancholy expression, as if he had expected it, "it will be longer than I thought." ”

"How long do you think it has been?" asked Ye Liancheng.

He touched his head in shame: "A hundred years at most." ”

"That's a lot. Zhang Kezhao felt that what was standing in front of him was not a person, but a hopeless abyss.

Six hundred years to completely transform the mountain movers, he has left a legendary and interesting story in the center of the mountain, the protagonist of the story is mistaken for living under the center of the mountain, but in fact has long been lost in the untouchable river of time. Zhang Kezhao looked at the back of the mountain mover, and had a premonition that what had supported his actions over the years was not to escape from purgatory, but only to get a glimpse of the black abyss. As long as Purgatory could satisfy this wish, his soul might be able to attain eternal peace.

Thinking further, what about any prisoner who has lived in purgatory for hundreds of years?

They have no hope of leaving, and can only entrust everything to things that are difficult to accomplish but close at hand.

Heavy footsteps were heard in cascading tones, and the figures of the mountain movers who had traveled back and forth to the hole and the black abyss desperate fingers lingered around them, and soon, they were overwhelmed by the reincarnation-like exploration.

"Six hundred years is very fast," as if to comfort them, the mountain mover whispered, "but when I am hungry, it is a little unbearable." He told them that since they had entered the place, they had not encountered anything other than the roots of some plants.
