Chapter 368 Rescue
The eight-meter room is not long, but the lighting here is strange and dim, and the black feathers and black racks of the bird make it difficult to find it easily.
Bai Lingshan's eyes were full of curiosity when she encountered the new environment. If I didn't tell her directly, she would probably bump into me and get scared.
"Those on the wall are the bones left by the monsters they caught. But compared to this, that one over there..."
Yu Hongye started walking after saying this. Bai Lingshan was stunned at first, and then she saw him in a black and red coat disappear from her sight.
"wait for me……"
Bai Lingshan hurried to catch up. She didn't dare to stay alone in this dark and strange little place.
At the same time, I looked in the direction he was going, but there was nothing else except a vague black shadow.
It was not until the two of them walked about one meter away from the thing that she could see its true appearance.
This was a large black bird, its claws bound with iron chains and hung so that it could not struggle. Its body feathers were mostly bald and scattered, its wings were prolapsed as if they had been forcibly broken, and the eyes on both sides of its beak were blinded by the turbidity of an unknown substance. If she had not looked carefully, she would not have been able to detect its only remaining faint breath.
Bai Lingshan stared at it blankly, her voice trembling as she asked, "How could this happen..."
Although the bird was in pieces and could not be seen in its entirety, it was hard not to equate it with Han Chenfeng just by looking at the black color of its feathers and the position that Xing Hu had told her. But when she really thought of it as Han Chenfeng, a strong resistance in her heart emphasized to her: This was not him at all.
"How did he become like this? Didn't he say..." Bai Lingshan was a little flustered and didn't understand. Before coming in, the only scene in her mind was him being rescued by them, but she saw this.
Didn't they say he would be fine? Bai Lingshan turned to look at Yu Hongye, then turned back to the bird.
"I went and rescued him."
Her eyes were filled with tears at this moment.
She was frightened by this unacceptable scene.
But the next second, Yu Hongye pulled her back after hearing what he said.
"!"
Bai Lingshan's mind was originally focused on the bird, and when someone suddenly pulled her, her hands and feet became flustered, and she accidentally shed a few tears.
Yu Hongye seemed to have discovered something, so he used the hand that had pulled her to gently adjust the green feathers on her shoulder and said, "This bird is not Heixia, I was mistaken. Sorry."
After his explanation, which was full of shame, Bai Lingshan could only stare at him blankly. At this moment, the big black bird, which she mistook for Han Chenfeng, seemed to be deliberately frightened by the outsider and cried out loudly. However, the bird was already exhausted and fainted after crying out two or three times.
Bai Lingshan looked at the bird and her heart ached again.
"It's not Han Chenfeng, then where is Han Chenfeng?"
Bai Lingshan looked up along the rope that tied the big black bird, and saw a long black pole connecting the left and right walls. Then she followed the rope and saw the stone pillar on the ground where the rope was locked. After that, after taking a closer look at all the visible objects here, she asked in doubt: "Did we go in the wrong way?"
The light was dim and she couldn't see the whole picture at once. But now, she looked very carefully but didn't find anything. Yu Hongye also felt something was wrong, but just stood there quietly thinking about something.
"..." Bai Lingshan looked at the bird again, and then at the long pole with the iron chain on it.
So, they broke the bird's wings because they were afraid that the bird would fly onto the long pole above?
How cruel.
Even if it's not Han Chenfeng, it's still a living bird.
"Why are you here?" Just as the two were immersed in their own thoughts and no longer spoke, a deep and questioning voice came from somewhere in the dark room. Although the tone was mixed with a strange softness, the word familiar touched Bai Lingshan's heart deeply.
"It's him." Bai Lingshan and Yu Hongye looked at each other and locked onto a certain direction.
"Where are you?" Bai Lingshan asked tentatively. Fortunately, the voice was not temporary. It connected to her a few seconds after she asked.
"The wall to the right of where Blackbird was hung was the barrier wall."
The weak voice hidden in the dark seemed to sound like someone who hadn't eaten for a long time. Bai Lingshan quickly followed the sound to find the location, and the sound entered her ears again.
"If you get closer, it will disappear. ... I'm right behind it."
He seemed to be able to see their every move, and his tone was so firm.
After receiving the message, Bai Lingshan and Yu Hongye immediately went to the location of the wall. Just when Bai Lingshan was still wondering where the barrier wall was, strange patterns suddenly appeared on the wall in front of them, and everything behind the wall also came into their eyes. The small square space with three meters on all sides was like a small warehouse in this dark room. In the innermost part, there was a large cross that could fix a person, and Han Chenfeng was tied to it with his hands and feet locked.
After touching the wall that had disappeared with her hand, Bai Lingshan ran in.
The room where he was imprisoned was much brighter. The three-meter distance was just a few steps away. Although Han Chenfeng, who was tied to the cross and unable to move, did not suffer as tragic a fate as the bird outside, his clothes were torn, he was covered in blood, and he was in a very bad condition, which still made people feel uncomfortable.
Bai Lingshan just looked at him a few more times and her body began to tremble unconsciously.
"You..." A worried look roamed all over Han Chenfeng's body. The scars all over his body made her frown, "...so many wounds."
Han Chenfeng showed an expression of indifference to all these, and said lightly: "These injuries were caused when I was outside, and they are almost healed now."
"..."
Then, Han Chenfeng looked at Yu Hongye behind her.
"Why are you here?"
Yu Hongye crossed his arms across his chest, not surprised at all: "Can't you see? Of course I'm here to save you. And what's going on with that bird?"
Han Chenfeng nodded silently and looked at the ropes that bound his hands. The ropes were not thick, but the people who tied him up seemed to hate him very much. When fastening him, they used so much force that his skin and flesh were rubbed.
Because it was tied for too long, some parts of the rope grew into the flesh.
"Then please help me to solve it." Han Chenfeng still acted calm, but his pale face exposed his true condition. "It was a peacock that was splashed with black paint. In order not to arouse the suspicion of their companions, they plucked its tail feathers to replace me."
Yu Hongye checked how to untie the rope that was tied to the flesh on his wrist, and became curious about what he said: "Are you suspicious?"
Han Chenfeng endured the pain and frowned occasionally: "I am imprisoned here, but I am just imprisoned. It is inevitable that there will be nosy people asking around...the guy they imprisoned will be brutally killed in a few days."
"But if they don't want to cause a war, they won't do anything to me." Han Chenfeng trembled, and cooperated with Yu Hongye to tear off the last rope on his wrist. His forehead was soaked with sweat.
"Why are you still bragging at this time? You should know that the two of us can't use any abilities after we come in." Yu Hongye exclaimed in shock, and then looked at the rope tied around his ankles.
