A knee-wide hole with a cold air flowing from it.

"It's ...... Where does it lead?" she muttered to herself, apparently no one around her to answer the question.

This is by no means a place to be overlooked. As a white-eyed bird and a love magpie, she has lived in the north occupied by the bird country for thousands of years, and as a traveler Bai Yao, she has explored many remote places in purgatory, no matter which identity or memory, she has never felt such a cold wind. If it weren't for Chen Jian telling her the word "cold", she wouldn't even be able to describe how she feels at the moment.

She thought of the Black Abyss.

Legend has it that the Black Abyss is an extremely cold place in purgatory, and it is just north of the Central Mountain.

Is this the way to the abyss?, she wasn't sure, though she rarely came here, there were not many birds who specialized in their crafts who came in and out of this house, and they had never found this hole that emitted cold air?

She thought about it and found a reason that made sense.

There was always steam boiling here, and now there is no firewood, and the steam is silent, so that the hole is revealed, which may have been there very early, and the birds are accustomed to the temperature in the house, and do not feel unusual. In any case, during the time she lived in the Bird Country, she had never heard of discovering strange passages.

Do you want to go in and have a look now? It looks very cramped, and if you get stuck and can't get out, you'll be in trouble.

She hesitated for a moment and shouted at the entrance of the cave.

As she listened closely, she immediately sketched out the shape of the narrow passage—the passage would get narrower and narrower, and eventually it would be completely impassable by human shape, but in the depths, the space seemed to become wider. It's a gourd-like channel with a thin middle and two thick ends, but why is it shaped like this? What does it mean?

She suddenly figured out that this must be an escape passage dug by the birds in case of emergency, and her own compatriots may be in it, but with such a size, there is absolutely no way for the white-eyed bird to hide, except for the water dove and Qin Yuan. She suddenly realized that she hadn't seen them since she hit the stationmaster.

They are all good at assassination and usually don't appear on frontal combat, but this is a battle of life and death, and it doesn't seem quite right that they are never seen or chirped from beginning to end.

Moreover, the bloody battlefield is the best stage for the dove to show his strength, he can tap the water surface with his beak, and the toxin enough to kill a giant elephant will spread from it, and with him, even if the human race can win, it will pay an even more painful price. However, the dove can't deal with so many humans, the toxin needs to accumulate, and if it is secreted in large quantities, the dove will not escape death.

Where did he go? Did he escape?

It's not his style.

Bai Yao felt uneasy.

The passage of the surging cold air seemed to invite her in, and the bottomless darkness had a whirlpool of magic, and she wished she heard a voice calling her.

She asked in bird language who was inside.

No bird answers.

- If you find the Black Abyss, you may be able to leave Purgatory.

That's what Ross once said to her.

She suddenly felt that it was not the birds that stayed inside, but the people.

"Rose, are you in there?"

No one answered.

Let the madman come and see, he can be resurrected after death, and he is the safest and most reliable to explore the way.

*

The madman, the tortoise, the white child, and some prisoners who had heard the news stood at the entrance of the cave.

"Is this it?" the madman crouched down in confusion, then said excitedly, "It's cold!"

The turtle pushed the madman away and couldn't wait to poke it into his head.

His body is a bit smaller than normal, but the hard shell means that it is impossible to pass through the narrow passage unless it is cut open first.

Bai Yao heard the turtle say, although the turtle shell is very thick, and there is no pain when bumped, but if you want to cut or forcibly break it, it will be painful, the senses of the turtle shell are connected to the backbone, as long as you think about the spine being torsionally broken, you can understand the intense pain of the turtle shell breaking, so the turtle doctor will never give up this heavy armor under normal circumstances.

Is this an extraordinary situation? Of course not, the prisoners around can explore in place of the turtle.

"How's that, doctor?" asked the madman, "I think there's something strange in it. ”

"Hmm......" the turtle pondered for a moment, "Bai Yao, did you go inside?"

"No, I'll be looking for you when I saw it. ”

"It's really like the black abyss...... the turtle obviously hasn't seen the black abyss, but it seems to know the black abyss well, and said in a calm tone, "You guys go in first to see the situation, I'll find more people, and dig up this place directly!"

The few prisoners who came with him were very respectful of the tortoise, and one of the short men volunteered to get in first.

"Haven't found Rose yet?" asked the turtle.

Bai Yao shook his head.

"Did you look for it? The tortoise grumbled, "How did you find this pimple? Could Ross be here?"

"I don't know. She knew that the turtle had a mean personality and was too lazy to deal with him, let alone say what the purpose of this room was. Although her head had been dizzy, it had not yet reached the point where she couldn't tell what to say and what not to say. "Let's take a look, I'm not feeling well. ”

There had been so many screams and wails that she didn't want to stay in it anymore until the madmen figured out where the hole leads.

Without waiting for the others to respond, she walked up the spiraling staircase alone and went outside.

The blood in the air had faded a lot, and about two hours had passed since the end of the war, and the light of the clouds and fire had weakened a lot. Bai Yao was walking alone on the road, she had a lot of questions, thought about it, and finally went to the Tianniao Cemetery, she wanted to see what the body of the suspected Emperor Shaohao looked like.

When they arrived at the cemetery, they were told that the body had been burned.

She was lonely, she had followed Emperor Shaohao for so long, and she couldn't imagine such a result. But she also had some suspicions that Emperor Shaohao was actually not dead at all, and the disappearance of Qin Yuan, who was always by his side, might be ironclad evidence that he was still alive.

She walked around the Sky Bird Graveyard a few times.

The judges had long since disappeared, and it was soon reduced to a place where people celebrated their victories.

She didn't want to see her homeland ruined by these people, so she had to return to the cylinder house.

Most of the prisoners who had just been there had disappeared, and even the madman was nowhere to be found, only the turtle was still leaning drowsilyly against the wall, and only after hearing the movement of Bai Yao coming down, he opened his eyes and explained that he had drunk too much, and his head was a little dizzy.

Bai Yao didn't care much, she asked, "What about the madman?"

"Got in. I heard them say that it was very cool inside, and there was a big space, like a cave. The tortoise, paralyzed by alcohol, blinked violently and said, "There will be a lot of people in a while, and we're going to dig this place up." ”

"What if it collapses?" Looking up, he could see the sky directly, surrounded by walls made of stones, and Bai Yao felt that if he excavated rashly, there would definitely be a possibility of collapse.

"Then I have to grieve them," said the turtle in a nonchalant tone, "and it won't be in the way to bury it in the ground for a few years anyway." ”

"That's right. "Bai Yao only has one life, and sometimes he can't keep up with the brain circuits of the prisoners, so he can only try to understand the practices of the undead.

"But strange to say, the little brutes are still drinking strongly. I don't feel much when I drink it, but I have enough stamina. The turtle admired.

"Really?"

"Would you like a drink?" the turtle pulled out a flask out of nowhere and held it out in front of her.

Bai Yao took the flask and was just about to take a sip, when he suddenly showed a faint smile.

"I see......" she couldn't help admiring the dove.
