Judging from the combat prowess of the three of them under normal circumstances, there is still a chance of successful escape if they make a surprise surprise attack.

But the problem is that they are not in a normal state.

What's even worse is that it's unknown when they will return to normal.

According to their own judgment, without external help, it would probably take quite a long time.

Dejected Tianming sat slumped on a branch, staring at the shining branches and leaves with distracted eyes, not caring about being dazzled, and letting the golden halo fill his sight.

When he was distracted, a faint chirping of birds suddenly sounded in his ears.

This cry immediately made him sit up in his dying illness, straightening his back in excitement.

Shi Lan was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?"

"I...I heard a bird call, a very special bird call!" Tianming replied hurriedly.

"What's this..." After hearing Tianming's words, Shaoyu responded subconsciously, but stopped mid-sentence.

Generally speaking, it is normal to hear birds chirping at the beach, but this is not the case near mirages, especially the Fuso Sacred Tree.

Not a single bird dared to land on this tree, or even come close. They all hid far away.

From their current position, under the cover of heavy branches and leaves, it is impossible to hear the chirping of birds in the distance, even the roar of eagles and cranes!

"You... your hearing suddenly got better?" Shao Yu tried to come up with a conjecture.

Tianming's face fell, and he replied angrily, "I don't think lying down properly can improve your hearing."

"Then you think you are hallucinating?" Shaoyu asked.

"Uh...it's not like that either." Tianming replied hesitantly.

The bird song gave him the impression that it was coming from a very far away place, so it was severely distorted, but it did not make him feel false.

"Then... what's the reason?" Shao Yu asked in confusion.

Neither he nor Shi Lan heard it, so there were only two possibilities - either the sound was indeed there, but Tianming's hearing was significantly better than the two of them, or there was no sound and it was purely Tianming's auditory hallucination.

Tianming thought for a while and then said, "I actually seem to have heard sounds coming from far away before... Maybe my hearing has always been very good, but... uh, it's not quite under my control?"

"Then you are quite unique!" Shao Yu mocked, "This is the first time I've heard that there are people who don't listen to their ears."

Shi Lan interrupted the banter between the two and asked directly, "So you are still sure that the birdsong is real."

"Yes!" Tianming nodded simply and emphasized, "And it's a very strange bird call. It's completely different from any other bird call I've ever heard."

"Then are you sure it's a bird?" Shao Yu questioned.

"Yes!" Tianming answered affirmatively at first, and then analyzed it with some hesitation, "It should be, what I heard was indeed a cry, which is completely different from the cry of cats, dogs, cattle and sheep."

"Okay..." Shaoyu nodded, and then said helplessly, "But it still feels useless."

A strange bird call appears in the mirage, so what?

Does it mean that a very special bird just passed near the mirage?

What does this mean to them?

Shi Lan did not arbitrarily think that Tianming's discovery was of no value... Although she really couldn't think of any use for it, she still suggested:

"Perhaps this represents some kind of accident."

"Anyway, change is probably a good thing for us."

The situation on these mirages can be said to be static, and without change, they would never have a chance to escape.

"I'm going to check if anything special has happened."

Tianming quickly said, "I'll go too!"

He heard the bird chirping just now. If there was a special situation, Tianming felt that he might have a better chance of discovering it by following it.

Shi Lan probably also thought of this and did not refuse, but still asked with some worry:

"Your body... doesn't matter?"

Shao Yu's eyes turned black and there was no sign of improvement, or it could be said that it had improved but it was meaningless, while Tian Ming's physical condition had actually been recovering... just very slowly.

He has now basically recovered to the physical fitness that a teenager and a half should have. Walking, sitting and lying are not affected much. However, considering the difficulties he faces, this level of recovery is not much different from being semi-disabled.

Just climbing up and down this towering sacred hibiscus tree is not something a half-year-old child can do casually.

"Uh..." Tianming hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded heavily, "Okay... let's take our time."

Tianming had said so, and Shi Lan didn't mind him getting in the way and agreed to let him go.

Shaoyu also wanted to join in the fun. After all, hiding was boring enough, but being alone was even more boring.

But considering that his eyes were dark, it was too much of a hindrance, so he didn't speak.

However, Shi Lan still took the initiative to invite Shao Yu to come with him.

Bringing another tow bottle would certainly be more stressful, but Shaoyu couldn't see anything now. If something unexpected happened and someone discovered him, he wouldn't even have a chance to resist.

To be on the safe side, it's better not to leave him alone.

Anyway, the search operations on the ship have basically stopped now, and the environment is relatively safe. They should be fine if they just be careful.

………………

On the other side, the thieves who fell from the sky and separated from the Bai Feng soldiers were carefully observing the surrounding environment while walking quickly. At the same time, they recalled in their minds the instructions Zhang Liang had given them before:

"There is no need to go deep into the core area of ​​the mirage, just search in the surface area, such as the third deck and the ordinary cabins below the deck."

"According to my intelligence, Tianming and the others are now hiding in these places waiting for rescue."

"Remember, don't try to go deep into any place that looks unusual, so as not to alert the Yin Yang family and ruin the rescue operation."
