161 The Return

When Chen Jian woke up, he found Bai Yao sitting there across the boat pole and smiling at him. He stood up and stared at her in surprise for a few seconds. Is this a dream? He was dizzy and seemed to faint.

.Immediately, he realized that his collar was a little loose, and there were still scales on the fish he had eaten before falling asleep at the corner of his mouth. Bai Yao was watching him calmly, and his slender right hand had disappeared.

"Bai Yao?" Chen Jian made a voice that was not his own, as if a thin slit had been cut in his throat, which was very sharp.

"I heard that you are very sad." Bai Yao winked at him.

"Really you?!"

He stepped up in one stride, and the wooden boat shook violently.

"Okay! Rose, look how excited you are," the madman said brazenly, "I told you a long time ago that Miss Bai can definitely save the day!"

Chen Jian was too lazy to argue with him and couldn't help but hug her: "It's really you! How did you escape from the waterfall snake? I saw... I saw you being eaten."

"Wait a minute," Bai Yao was surprised by Chen Jian's behavior. After the two hugged for a moment, she pushed him away gently, "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 Huangchenyuan, I found two white-eyed birds following me." She whispered so as not to be heard by the birds hiding around her - or maybe they weren't around at all.

"Two white-eyed birds." Chen Jian was shocked.

"Haha," the madman laughed twice, "Ross, young people are too impetuous. It is difficult to achieve great things if you don't calm down."

"You were so scared just now." Bai Yao exposed the madman without mercy.

The lunatic said without changing his expression: "I am an old man, and my endurance is limited! Miss Bai, what's wrong with you? After escaping from death, it only got 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 to stop talking, and then asked:

"Are they coming for us?"

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

"Gu carving?"

"You know it?" Bai Yao was very surprised.

"I only remembered it after falling under its illusion." Chen Jian looked at the empty cuff on Bai Yao's right side and felt that it was his fault.

Bai Yao saw what Chen Jian was thinking, raised his left hand and patted his shoulder twice: "It's okay, it will grow after you eat something."

"Um……"

Unlike a severed arm, once it is digested into food residue by the creatures here, the body must be restored by eating.

It was almost rain or shine during this period? Chen Jian had almost forgotten this rule.

"What about the other white-eyed bird? Have you seen what it looks like?"

"I'm hiding under the water and can't see clearly? I only know that it has white pupils? And it looks like a magpie."

Hearing this description, Yumin trembled all over.

Should she tell humans the information about Qing Magpie? Once she says it out loud? There will be no turning back for her, but the current situation is not urgent enough to turn against humans.

The two of them must be here to eliminate her? But Qing Que is more reasonable than Gu Diao? She still has the opportunity to tell Qing Que all the reasons.

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

Bai Yao suddenly turned around and looked at Yu Min. Yu Min was frightened by those bright eyes. She wanted to move her gaze, but Bai Yao's scrutinizing eyes made her dare not act rashly? She had an ominous premonition? Once she

If she is defeated here, her identity will be revealed by this seasoned traveler.

"We don't know your name yet."

Ah, so she wanted to ask about this!

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

"My name is Qiong Ming."

"What a strange name."

Bai Yao's words made her break into a cold sweat? Did the people of the Yu Republic have other ways of naming? She regretted not studying human beings carefully before.

"Qiong Ming," Bai Yao looked serious? "You were the one who woke me up at that time, right?"

"What's going on?" The madman yelled loudly, frightening Yumin.

Chen Jian stared closely into Yumin's eyes. He could tell that this girl was completely lost. She was hiding a secret, but she never revealed it from beginning to end.

what exactly is it?!

Bai Yao saw that Yu Min didn't speak? He simply said it more clearly: "Why are you the only one who is awake when we are all under the Gu Diao illusion? Are you a bird?"

"I……"

"I have suspected you for a long time," Bai Yao said with a cold look, "I have heard that there is a bird with white eyes that has the ability to transform into a human. But you can't completely transform into a human, so you pretend to be a feathered citizen to cover up this bird.

Beak and wings—am I right?"

What to do?! He’s going to be killed!

Yumin screamed inwardly.

She regretted waking up Bai Yao at that time. If it was Ross or a madman, these two dull men would definitely not notice the difference. They would just take it for granted that Yumin was luckier, but Bai Yao was different. Both of them were the same.

"Women" have been with each other the longest and know their own situation best.

Why don't you die in the mouth of a waterfall snake?

Yumin cursed Bai Yao fiercely in her heart, but she still had fear and panic on her face, trying to gain sympathy from the two men - she didn't think this appearance could make them favor her, but it was better than nothing.

"Qiong Ming, is this really true?"

Chen Jian was surprised, but Bai Yao's words did remind him of some key moments. At that time, when everyone fell into the illusion, he heard a sharp shout, which was made by Qiong Ming. The voice was both human-like and human-like.

The chirping of birds struck his brain for a moment and sounded briefly in the empty and silent illusion, but was quickly covered up by the sound of babies, causing him to not realize that there was a second sound in the illusion at that time.

Trying to recall it again, the voice echoed lightly in my mind, like a piece of dead wood emerging from the bottom of the water with a bang——

"You said 'run away', right?" Bai Ya grabbed Yumin's hand, preventing her from taking advantage of it.

Yes, it was "run away quickly". Chen Jian remembered it and thought it was an auditory hallucination.

"You are mistaken..." Yumin suddenly calmed down. She shook her head and her slender hairs swayed, "Because I am a feathered people. Bai Yao, you are a traveler, don't you know? Many of the powers of the bird monster are useful to you.

We were ineffective, and the same was true for the white-eyed bird called Gu Diao. 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 felt bad for belittling herself as a "bird monster", but that was all she could do at the moment.

Yumin saw suspicion in Bai Yao's eyes, and at the same time he saw a trace of instability. For her, that insignificant trace of instability was the hope of escaping this disaster.

"Is that so?" Bai Yao seemed to believe her words, and besides, she wasn't completely sure in the first place.

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

Is there any flaw in her story about this person - or bird? And why did she become a feathered person and infiltrate among us? Investigate the movements of other humans? Since the white-eyed bird can cross Huang Chenyuan, why should she bother so much?

?Are you trying to take credit?

"Run away"... She said these two words. If we didn't see the illusion, how would we know that we were trapped in the illusion? This seems to be a doubt, but it doesn't mean anything, because just judging from our state at the time,

It can be reasonably inferred that our consciousness has been taken away, and it seems understandable to say "escape quickly"...

Chen Jian's soul seemed to have turned into villains. Everyone stood in two groups and had a fierce debate in their minds.

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

Bai Yao was silent for a long time, lowered his head and said, "Sorry, I thought too much."

Yumin felt happy. Her performance was undoubtedly successful. Bai Yao showed an expression of guilt and relief, as if to say that she had just escaped from death and was a little confused. Looking at the madman's expression, the old man should completely trust his own statement. He

The survival principle prevents him from thinking about too complicated things. Once Bai Yao agrees, the madman will also follow the traveler's advice; as for Rose, he seems wavering, but she is confident that she can convince him with her subsequent performance.

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

Her blood seemed to have solidified - no, it was flowing backwards. The warmth in her body immediately dissipated, and she stared up at Bai Yao blankly.

Only when she saw those white eyes did she understand.

This woman is not Bai Yao at all.
