Abyss Notes [Unlimited]

It's very similar to Xiaoyou, but it's not Xiaoyou at all.

The burn scars on her face were gone, and dangling from her neck was a ballooned head.Like the birds, half of the head is covered with constantly rolling round eyes, and the other half of the face still retains some human form.

Xiaoyou had never seen Bai Chan in human form before, and when she saw the dark figure in front of her, she clearly showed fear.But soon, she saw other people holding torches behind Bai Chan.

After recognizing who those were, the human eye suddenly closed tightly.

Half of her body is like a rapidly growing branch, with countless human hands.At this moment, the hands were dancing frantically, trying to hide their appearance.She turned her head with difficulty, dragging her heavy, unable to walk body, trying to return to the dark cave.

Bai Chan grabbed Xiao You's hand.He was too shocked to say a word, Xiaoyou struggled hoarsely, tears streaming from his eyes in the firelight.

Monkey-faced children were jumping around the hole, crowding the hole to block the light from the torches.After Bai Chan let go, Xiao You hid back to the entrance of the cave.

Bai Chan squatted at the entrance of the cave for a long time.He raised his head and asked the monkey-faced child: "Is there anyone else? They survived."

The monkey-faced children half understood what they heard, hugged Bai Chan's arm, and looked at his left eye one by one.

"Is there any more!" Bai Chan shouted.

The monkey-faced children were startled, and ran away one after another, huddled beside them, scratching their ears and cheeks.

Bai Chan felt uncomfortable, he knew that there was no one else except Xiao You.

Xiaoyou hid in the cave and refused to come out, nor did he want to make a sound.Bai Chan understood that she became like this after surviving, but she still retained her human thinking, perhaps because she took care of herself carefully during this year.She has the aura of the cage master on her body, and it is some power left by the cage master who protects her.

But it's just some protection.

He didn't know if living like this was what Xiaoyou wanted compared to dying.

Bai Chan got up to leave, Fan Xing stopped him: "Where are you going?"

Baichan: "I want to know what my birdcage looks like now. I also want to find them out. I can't hide them after doing such a thing."

Yugan followed closely: "I'll go with you. Fan Xing is here to protect them."

Baichan: "No, I don't want you."

Yugan was anxious: "Why don't you want me! At least I can carry you and fly for a while!"

In fact, it hasn't rested well, and its voice is a little weak, when it lacks energy.Bai Chan glanced at him, then suddenly raised his hand to grab it in his palm.The dried fish struggled desperately on his palm, poked out a fish head, and was about to scold someone, when Bai Chan said softly, "Thank you."

This was the first time Baichan thanked him, Yugan was both surprised and happy, and asked: "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly, please speak louder."

Bai Chan didn't answer, and walked with it into the dense forest.

The hole where Xiaoyou hides is very small, Yu Zhou has to kneel on the ground, bend his body as close to the ground as possible, so that he can barely see the black shadow hiding in the hole.Xu Qingyuan extinguished the torch, and Fan Xing walked away with the only remaining one, only a little light fell on the entrance of the cave and the ground.

"Xiao You?" Yu Zhou called out softly, "Do you still recognize me?"

A hoarse whimper came from the hole.Xiaoyou seems to be unable to speak anymore.

When they stayed here, Liu Yingnian had the most contact with Xiaoyou, and he was lying at the entrance of the cave, trying to talk to Xiaoyou. "Don't be afraid of us, we won't hurt you." He said, "You must not recognize that dark-skinned boy just now. He is the black dragon you take care of every day."

This really aroused Xiaoyou's curiosity, she turned her head in surprise, and immediately hid half of her mutated face in the darkness, revealing only one tearful eye, looking timidly at Liu Yingnian.

Seeing Xiaoyou's appearance, Liu Yingnian instinctively felt scared.But he can't back down, let alone avoid his eyes. At this moment, he only regrets why he has been clumsy all the time, can't speak and doesn't know how to comfort others: "He, he is very powerful, and he came here specially to save you."

Xiaoyou's tears flowed even more fiercely.She buried her head in the messy arms and refused to lift it up.

Seeing that Xiaoyou only paid attention to Liu Yingnian, Yu Zhou silently stepped aside.Liu Yingnian found a more convenient speaking angle, and began to tell Xiaoyou about Bai Chan's heroic deeds.He put everything about Fan Xing and An Liu on Bai Chan, how he took everyone to Yunwaitian, how he was knocked down to the ground dangerously, how he skillfully killed a cage owner, with nose and eyes.

Xu Qingyuan also squatted beside him, interjecting from time to time to give evidence.

"...Can she still recover?" Yu Zhou walked to Fan Xing's side, and Fan Xing gave way to the torch to ensure that the heat of the flame would not burn Yu Zhou.Yu Zhou thought for a while, then asked again: "Do you understand the 'gap', can the adventurers who have changed in the 'birdcage' return to their original appearance?"

Fan Xing hesitated.Yu Zhou understood the answer from this hesitation.

Entering the "birdcage", one can only accept fate.Whether it is the cage owner or the adventurer, it is nothing more than constant tossing and turning.No one can break through the trap created by the will in the "gap".

"Bai Chan and An Liu will find a way." Fan Xing said, "At least Xiao You is still alive."

Yu Zhou knew that Fan Xing had a different view on life and death than ordinary people.The end of life is not something to be feared here.

"Are you willing to live like this?" He still couldn't help asking.

"Why don't you want to?" Fan Xing was puzzled, "At least if you survive, you still have a chance to change. Xiaoyou persisted until now, she at least waited until Baichan, didn't she?"

After a pause, he said softly, "Don't give up, Yu Zhou."

He held Yu Zhou's hand: "I said I would let you go back, and I will definitely do what I say. Don't take the pain of others too much on yourself."

Yu Zhou: "...she is Xiaoyou, she helped us."

Fan Xing just looked at him quietly without answering.Yu Zhou took his hand out of his palm and walked away silently.

At the foot of the mountain, Bai Chan and Yu Gan came to the land where the Black Dragon once lay.

The land still emits heat secretly, and in the middle of the night, you can even see the stars shining in the soil.Bai Chan stood in the soil, he calmed down, and spread his wings again.

The dried fish swam silently around him.The butterfly wings behind the white toad were fully formed, and faint light like stars flickered in the night.

He knelt down and dug his hands into the soil.

The power to save Hou Erlian and Xiao You actually does not belong to him.Bai Chan knew very well in his heart: when he stood in the soil, the familiar breath would come back to him.

It is the black giant dragon that once stationed here and brewed mountains and rivers.

The white toad didn't know where it came from, nor how long it lived.They cannot communicate with each other verbally, but they will gaze at each other.When devouring the fog lamp and mother's tentacles, the black dragon disappeared from Bai Chan's body. Bai Chan didn't expect that there would still be a little power of the black dragon left here, that kind of gentle, non-aggressive, stable and peaceful power.

He remembered that he had been protected by the black dragon in his arms against the wind and rain.The black dragon also allowed him to ride on him, leading him through the scenery of the "birdcage".At that time, Bai Chan didn't know it, but when he became the cage owner, he realized how difficult it is to create such a complete small world.

The black dragon must have come from a world wider and more beautiful than this.It restores the hometown it sees in its eyes and cherishes in its heart in the "birdcage".

Bai Chan's hands and feet were submerged in mud as if they had fallen into a swamp.He tried his best, endured the pain and spread his wings, the broken edges swaggered like pieces of cloth.

A sigh drilled into his head.

Sorry, sorry... I failed to protect your "birdcage".Bai Chan kept apologizing.

Another sigh, long and slow, without reproach.

Bai Chan stood in the dark consciousness, a rough hand descended from the sky with scales, gently stroking his hair.He reached out to touch it, and when he touched it, the dragon's claws shattered and instantly disappeared into nothingness.

The moment the dragon claw disappeared, Bai Chan's eyes suddenly lit up—the darkness faded away, and he seemed to understand everything in the "birdcage" in an instant: including the earth, the sky, all polluted and unpolluted lives.He could hear the wind through the dead trees, the rain through the wings of butterflies, through his body, and into the dirt.

He is an insignificant shadow in this "birdcage", but he is connected with the veins of heaven and earth.

Water and soil flowed into his body, and everything in this small world penetrated into his consciousness, suddenly enlightening.His blood became the roots of the earth, his hair was like flowing clouds, his black skin was cracked, and countless new lives emerged from the cracks.

——"White Toad!"

Bai Chan opened his eyes suddenly.

He is still himself, but he has finally learned how to read the air flowing in the cage and the secrets of the earth.

"I, I know." He panted, his butterfly wings shrunk, and he returned to his back, "I know where they are hiding."

In front of the small hole, Liu Yingnian was still trying to communicate with Xiaoyou.

Xu Qingyuan was a little tired.He sat on the ground, silently watching Liu Yingnian communicate with Xiao You.Xiaoyou became more courageous, Liu Yingnian spread his hand on the ground, Xiaoyou hesitated, slowly stretched out his hand, and quickly retracted it.

Xu Qingyuan suddenly said: "But you are still crying."

Liu Yingnian: "Baichan, he...who is crying? Who?"

Xu Qingyuan: "You, you cried so hard, you thought you were going to die, you even threw away your notebook."

Liu Yingnian blushed and lowered her voice: "There is no need to say this!"

Xu Qingyuan: "Xiaoyou is also our partner, there are no secrets between partners."

Liu Yingnian regretted it to death, Xu Qingyuan firmly remembered the words he said at that time, and would bring them out to make fun of him from time to time.He was about to continue arguing with Xu Qingyuan when his hand tightened suddenly: Xiaoyou caught him.

"Xiao You!" Liu Yingnian was overjoyed, noticing that Xiao You was trying to withdraw his hand nervously, and immediately held it tightly, "I still have many stories, you don't know what happened to us in the last 'birdcage' right?" Right? It was like this..."

The hand in his palm has been polluted and even alienated, with countless protrusions on the skin, like the skin of a crocodile.The protrusion trembled slightly, as if it would split open at any moment, revealing the eyeballs hidden under the rough skin.Liu Yingnian controlled himself, not to look at Xiaoyou's hand, and began to recall the things in Prase Continent.

In the other direction of the birdcage, An Liu carried the white toad on his back and found an open space deep in the dense forest.

Bai Chan remembered that this place was not like this before: it should be a small lake, very beautiful, like a sapphire embedded in dark green soft satin on sunny days.

Now the lake has dried up, and the creatures in the lake have disappeared, leaving only a gentle pit.The pit is full of purple plants, and occasionally there are a few huge flower rings. When you get closer, you can see that there are no stamens and petals in the flower rings, only faces with half-closed eyes.The white toad picked up the leaf and inspected it. The back of the leaf was really blood red, and when the stem and leaf were cut off, a viscous liquid like blood would flow out.

It is exactly the same as the forest where four-legged snakes live.

Before Bai Chan could speak, a voice came from the dark: "An Liu?"

Yugan: "Well, it's me."

There was a rustling sound of footsteps, and someone pushed aside the branches and leaves of plants and stood in front of them.

The four people in front of them are somewhat similar to Bai Chan in appearance: their skin color is light gray, and they look colder in the hazy light.Although the two leaders have human bodies, their heads are not in human form. One is shaped like a lizard, and the other is like a clay toy stuck together indiscriminately.The latter two were smaller and equally oddly shaped.

"I haven't seen you for a long, long time." The leader smiled, "You are too miserable. You have no flesh, only a skeleton? How ugly, An Liu."

Yugan jumped up: "It's impolite! You don't say hello when you see your brother, and you still feel weird."

Seeing its current appearance, several people laughed at the same time. "You don't have a heart, you just look like this?" Maniacal laughter followed, "Why are you still putting on airs like a brother?"

Baichan knew that once the dried fish started to lose his temper, he would lead the conversation to the sky, so he quickly grabbed the dried fish to prevent him from opening his mouth. "Why, pollute, my cage?"

As soon as the voice fell, the lizard-like man suddenly flashed in front of Bai Chan, grabbed Bai Chan's neck, and roared in a voice that could make Bai Chan terrified: "Then why did you kill the fog lamp!!! "

He was the eighth kid with the best relationship with Fog.

As usual, Bai Chan would not be able to break free.But now he is full of strange strength, grabbing that strong arm with his backhand, and forcefully: "Who was the first to kill me?!"

The man felt the pain and immediately shook off Bai Chan.

"Fog Lamp is your sister, she brought you here. You are ungrateful, ungrateful, and actually attacked her. We underestimated you." The man whispered, "And you are stupid, you Don't you know what will happen if you kill the fog lamp?"

Bai Chan: "...you, what you are really afraid of is that mother will come over."

The four did not deny it.

"You are the cage owner of the two birdcages now. This abnormal situation will definitely attract the attention of the mother." The man said, "We are already trapped here and cannot leave. You still have to provoke the mother. What are you trying to do?" ? Do you think she will let you go?"

Baichan: "Mother, you don't like us playing tricks on humans in this way."

Man: "It's good that you know. This should be a secret that we should keep from each other for each other."

Bai Chan: "Me too, I don't like this! Why do you want to kill adventurers? Why do you want them to become like this?!"

He pointed to the bushes beside him.Among the purple flowers and leaves, there was a low moan, which was pain, or a mournful cry for death.

"Obviously I am also a monster," the man smiled, "but I like humans so much?"

"I, I don't like it, it's not that I like it." Bai Chan only hated himself for not being able to speak fluently, "Don't torture me, I don't want to see anyone become so painful."

The man still wanted to speak, but suddenly his brows twitched unconsciously.

The place where Bai Chan had scratched seemed to have been burned, and the skin was breaking out.The man still endured the pain at first, but soon discovered that even though the bleeding had stopped, the wound gradually took on a strange color.

His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately looked at his other hand.

Will is used to punishing its own children. The tentacles of jellyfish have left deep and shallow marks on every child. Those marks cannot be healed, and they are tattoos that will always crawl in the skin.

And the wound injured by Bai Chan is slowly changing into a familiar appearance for all children.

"You..." The man's voice changed, "You ate its tentacles?!"

The small dried fish stopped in front of Bai Chan, and the four people in front of them showed real anger at this moment—they were angry that Bai Chan swallowed his mother's strength without authorization.

The death of the fog lights, in their view, is actually irrelevant.

Bai Chan stood still on the ground, and suddenly opened his wings behind his back.Part of the power of the black dragon, the fog lamp, and his mother were truly fused in his body because of frequent use.He was full of surging power, thinking about his "birdcage" and Xiaoyou's current appearance, his anger rose like a tide, and almost occupied all his thoughts.

The four brothers no longer waste their tongues.Since the mother's power has been taken away by Bai Chan, the only way is to kill Bai Chan and devour her power.

"You, who is qualified to eat me?" Bai Chan laughed wildly, "Give it a try!"

A strong whirlwind swept up from the clearing.The four children ran towards Baichan at the same time, but just as they started, someone got their feet locked by the mud and fell down hard.

"This is my birdcage!" Bai Chan roared hoarsely, his eyes were red, "It's mine!!!"

If the soil is alive, it condenses countless claws, tightly wrapping the feet of the enemies, and imprisoning them in place.The leading man suddenly raised his right arm, and in an instant, his right arm swelled and thickened, like a huge boulder, and hit the ground hard!

The ground trembled, and the purple plants around the open space began to grow crazily. The branches and leaves climbed the ground, locking the soil that rolled up and down like waves.

The four of them got a gap to get rid of, jumped up immediately, and climbed up the dead wood.

"Where did you learn this skill?" Someone laughed coquettishly, "It's amazing, brother Baichan, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you've been reborn."

The dried fish shrank into Baichan's hair, and suddenly grabbed Baichan's earlobe: "Wait! One, two, three, four... why is there one missing?"

"Xiaoyou, let go first, I'll change my position." Liu Yingnian said to Xiaoyou, "I'm tired from squatting."

Xiao You didn't answer, but still looked at him with teary eyes, but his hand was gripping more and more tightly.

It was so tight that Liu Yingnian even felt a little pain.

"Xiaoyou?" He frowned, "Don't push too hard, I feel a little pain....Xiaoyou?!"

That hand squeezed Liu Yingnian's palm harder and harder, and Liu Yingnian couldn't lie down in pain.Xu Qingyuan sensed something was wrong, quickly squeezed Liu Yingnian's wrist, and shouted: "Xiaoyou! Let go!"

He forcibly dragged Liu Yingnian up, Xiaoyou's arm stretched out, following Liu Yingnian's movement, it stuck tightly to Liu Yingnian's palm.

Fan Xing rushed over holding a torch, Liu Yingnian suddenly yelled.

His hand merged with Xiaoyou's strange hand at some point, and they couldn't be torn apart.
