The crow general was actually a type of bird.
It was a giant black bird with long feathers on its head.
This kind of bird was generally between three to four meters tall. It was as fast as lightning and extremely strong. Its feathers were like steel, and its claws could tear through metal.
The only drawback was that due to its weight, it could only run and jump on the ground like a mountain-gazing bird. It could not fly at all.
It was said that there weren't many of these beasts, and they were generally at the Earth Wheel level. Very few of them had reached the Spirit Wheel level.
However, the one that the empress encountered on the mountain was stronger than an ordinary Spirit Wheel expert, which was considered rare. His speed was especially fast. Carrying that giant snake on his back, even the empress couldn't catch up with him.
Ren Baqian listened to the empress explain the situation in a few words and was a little surprised. In his mind, he imagined the crow general as a pitch-black mountain-gazing bird.
Where did these strange beasts come from in Tianjing Basin? When they were at Mount Wu, it could be said that almost all the experts from Tianjing Basin had come out in full force. They didn't expect that three non-humans would jump out at this time.
"That's not a giant snake, it's a Mangshan!" Lin Qiaole corrected the empress seriously.
"You know about it?" Ren Baqian was even more surprised.
Saying that Lin Qiaole ate, slept, and ate after she was full was a completely true description.
Furthermore, he had been staying in the palace ever since he was picked up. Other than coming out with him a few times, he had basically never come into contact with the outside world. It was truly surprising that he knew about this exotic beast.
"Why is it called Iron Head Mangshan? Is it because their heads are more iron-headed? "For some reason, Ren Baqian found this name very interesting.
"Anyway, that's his name. His head is also hard, and he looks annoying," Lin Qiaole muttered. As for more than that, she didn't have any impression.
However, when she saw the giant snake, this name naturally popped up in her mind.
"Roast it for a while longer and sprinkle some wine on it. Otherwise, it will taste sour!" Lin Qiaole added after thinking for a while.
Ren Baqian put the snake meat aside and asked someone to bring Zuo Cheng and Qingyun Sword over.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Both of them cupped their fists at the empress, nodded at Ren Baqian, and asked, "Sir Ren, are you looking for us?"
"Do you know what happened on the mountainside just now?" Ren Baqian asked.
"Experts are fighting!" The two of them turned to look at the empress as they spoke.
"Do you know about the crow general, Mangshan, and a monkey with long reddish-brown fur?" Ren Baqian asked. "Just now, Protector General Xi and the others encountered these three strange beasts on the mountain. They are much stronger than ordinary Spirit Wheel experts. Even in Tianjing Basin, they shouldn't be unknown, right?"
"There's such a thing?" Both of them were shocked. Tianjing Basin actually had such a strange beast?
"Sir Ren, please explain in detail!"
Ren Baqian described the three strange beasts that he had heard from the empress, and both of them looked pensive.
"What have you two thought of?" Ren Baqian immediately asked when he saw their expressions. The empress also shifted her attention to them and wanted to hear what they had to say.
"That giant snake …"
"It's not a giant snake, it's a Mangshan!" Lin Qiaole snorted and corrected him.
"Oh, that Mount Mangshan should be the strange beast worshiped by the Six Doors. As for the other two, I've never heard of them. I'm afraid that they're related to the Six Doors, "Qingyun Sword said in a low voice.
"What's the origin of the Six Doors?" This was the first time Ren Baqian had heard of this sect.
"Whether it's the experts or the martial arts of this sect, they aren't outstanding. They have always been in a remote place in the south and rarely interact with outsiders. It's just that there's a rumor that the founder of the sect once obtained a strange snake and has been worshiping it since the death of the founder.
Although the experts and martial arts of the Six Doors aren't outstanding, they are extremely good at communicating with wild beasts. It's called the Six Doors, but in fact, it should be the Six Beasts.
The elephant soldiers, monkey soldiers, and insect soldiers are the ones that people pay attention to in the past. Although they aren't strong, they are extremely difficult to deal with. In particular, most of the insect soldiers are highly poisonous insects, and anyone who gets hit will die immediately.
Back then, the Southern Metropolis wanted to recruit the Six Doors but was rejected. "
"Your Majesty, did you see anyone wearing a brightly colored feather crown on the mountainside?" Zuo Cheng asked.
The empress remained silent as if she hadn't heard anything.
Ren Baqian knew from her expression that she definitely didn't care about the people on the mountaintop.
Otherwise, with the empress's photographic memory … Well, he couldn't make it up anymore.
"Did you see them?" Ren Baqian asked Lin Qiaole.
"I only saw that iron-headed mountain," Lin Qiaole mumbled, then yawned and said, "I'm going to sleep for a while. Wake me up when the meat is ready."
As she spoke, she found a tent and went to sleep.
Although Lin Qiaole and the empress didn't see the person with the brightly colored feather crown that Zuo Cheng mentioned, Ren Baqian still felt that these strange beasts were related to the Six Doors.
The monkey soldiers, the reddish-brown long-haired monkey, and the iron-headed mountain — there shouldn't be a second possibility.
"Where is this sect? How many people are there? What else do you know? "
"The sect is in the southwest, near the cliff. I don't know much about it except that this sect is extremely low-key and never interacts with outsiders. However, I heard rumors that they use living people as sacrifices. I once thought of going there to get rid of evil for the people, but later gave up due to various reasons.
Living people as sacrifices are used to feed wild beasts, especially that giant snake! I wonder how many lives it has devoured over the years, "Qingyun Sword said.
Ren Baqian felt that it was fortunate that he didn't go. If he had gone, he would have been fed to the snake. After all, he could tell from the conversation between the empress and Lin Qiaole that these strange beasts weren't weak. Even Qingyun Sword wouldn't be a match for any of them.
"It's not a giant snake, it's an iron-headed mountain!" Lin Qiaole shouted from the tent with hazy eyes.
"Got it!" Ren Baqian waved his hand.
"Thank you for the information!" Ren Baqian cupped his hands at them.
"It's alright. Goodbye." The two cupped their hands and left.
After they left, the empress said, "These people can still be of some use to you."
Even though she said it in an indifferent tone, Ren Baqian could hear a trace of approval in her tone.
Although it was just a trace of approval, it was already a good improvement.
After the empress went up the mountain, many experts fought, and the warriors and soldiers on the mountain had already run away from the other side. There was no one to stop them at the cliff, so the winged cavalry climbed up along the cliff. They were inspecting the mountainside and throwing down the rolling logs and boulders that were prepared on the mountain.
The road was only four meters wide. With a little more force, they could directly throw the boulders out of the road, so they didn't have to worry about destroying the road.
Ren Baqian also sent baihu from the Rearguard Commandery to the mountainside to investigate.
At night, most of the winged cavalry retreated, leaving only a small number of baihu and a small number of baihu to guard the mountainside.
