There were two types of bichi.
One was a bichi, and the other was a bichi.
The former was gray, and anyone who saw it would be unlucky. The latter was red, and it was called misfortune and blessing.
If there was misfortune, there would be blessings.
Ren Baqian was stunned when he saw these crocodiles that were more than ten meters long. He then remembered that he had obtained a cloud crystal from killing a flower eagle.
"Drag them out and kill them!" Ren Baqian ordered.
He felt that these monsters were here to give him equipment.
"Why? Just a few bone mines! "The empress looked at him strangely. These things could be seen anywhere there was a big river.
Because crocodiles could bite the bones of their prey and roar like thunder, they were called bone mines in Dayao.
The Chen Nation was also a place with many crocodiles, and they were called thunder.
In Great Xia, crocodiles were called earth dragons.
"Let's see if there are any gains." Ren Baqian turned his head. "Misfortunes and blessings go hand in hand. There should also be blessings in misfortune."
The empress immediately understood.
At this time, a few winged cavalry warriors found two stones the size of a human head and threw them at the crocodiles.
Boom!
A few stones smashed into the crocodiles, but they were extremely strong. They were fine after being hit by the stones and only sank into the water in pain.
This time, they couldn't hit them even if they wanted to.
If they were on land, eight or ten of these crocodiles wouldn't even be enough to defeat one winged cavalry warrior.
However, in the water, it was the complete opposite. Although the aboriginals wouldn't drown if they fell into the water, they were very clumsy and couldn't exert even ten percent of their strength.
Everyone was at a loss for what to do.
"Get out of the way!" The empress frowned when she saw that they didn't know what to do. "Give me the arrows!"
The empress came out of the carriage in a flash with a simple horn bow made of beast horn in her hand. It was the same bow that had been hanging in the carriage.
Hong Luan took out a quiver that contained more than ten dark yellow bone arrows.
The empress pulled one out and nocked it on the arrow. She pulled the bowstring back two inches. She took a look at the river and loosened her fingers.
The bone arrow made a strange sound and went straight into the water.
One arrow was shot, and then another. Seven arrows were shot in a row.
After the seventh arrow was shot, the river began to turn red. Then, a crocodile flipped out of the river, then a second, a third … A pile of crocodile corpses piled together, blood flowing from the crocodiles' jaws.
The seven crocodiles looked as if they had been blasted by a cannon. Each of their heads had a wound the size of a bowl.
"Quick, pull it up," Ren Baqian shouted.
The winged cavalry immediately chopped down two trees and dragged the crocodile from the river to the shore.
Each of these crocodiles was twelve to thirteen meters long and weighed five to six tons. It required two to three people to pull them up.
After bringing all seven of them ashore, everyone followed Ren Baqian's instructions and opened up their stomachs.
At first, Ren Baqian thought that there would be some gains. However, after everyone searched the place thoroughly, there was nothing except for the corpse of the jumping goat.
"Is there something valuable in the stomachs of these bone mines that we didn't notice?" Ren Baqian pondered for a while. There was bezoar in a cow's stomach, pig's kidney in a pig's stomach … What was in a crocodile's stomach?
Unwilling to give up, Ren Baqian rummaged through the pile again. Unfortunately, he still didn't find anything valuable.
"It seems like the so-called blessing and misfortune aren't so accurate." Ren Baqian was a little disappointed.
"Don't be disappointed so early," the empress suddenly said.
Ren Baqian immediately turned his head and asked, "Did Your Majesty discover something?"
"It seems like a big guy is coming!" The empress hooked the bow with her little finger and flicked it, causing the bow to spin in the air.
"Everyone, retreat!" the empress ordered.
After the order was passed down, everyone left the riverside. The water churned, and a huge tree trunk floated up from the river.
A huge crocodile floated up from the river. Its yellow eyes were filled with ferocity as it stared at everyone on the shore.
"What a huge crocodile," Ren Baqian exclaimed.
A crocodile that was twelve to thirteen meters long was already a huge monster.
If it were on Earth, it would be a well-deserved giant beast.
However, the head of the one that floated up from the river was almost as big as a car.
It was at least twenty meters in length.
Following which, the huge crocodile's chin swelled up. It didn't open its mouth, but a thunderous sound came from its body.
Following this sound, the surface of the water began to roll outwards in circles.
The empress glanced at the crocodile and said, "Killing the small one has attracted the big one. It might be the smell of blood."
"It's pretty strong. It seems to be at the Kismet Heaven level. If we didn't discover it today, it wouldn't have any natural enemies in the river. Perhaps, it would have been able to grow." After saying this, the empress raised the bow again.
Previously, when she shot those crocodiles, the bowstring was only pulled back by two inches. This time, she pulled it back by more than half.
The huge crocodile seemed to have sensed that something was wrong and immediately lowered its body.
However, its fate was sealed the moment it popped its head out to check.
The arrow suddenly left the bowstring and pierced through space without making a sound.
The crocodile didn't even have time to react before the arrow pierced through its eye and went straight to its brain. Then, red and white blood spurted out from its eye.
Following which, everyone heard the bowstring vibrate and emit a buzzing sound.
"Pull it up." The empress threw the bow to Hong Luan, who was behind her.
This time, it took some effort to pull the crocodile up.
This crocodile weighed at least 20 tons.
Huge. When the crocodile was pulled up, everyone's first impression was that it was huge. It was simply too huge. It was simply a colossus.
Previously, when they were in the river, Ren Baqian estimated that the crocodile was more than 20 meters long.
Now that it was pulled up, Ren Baqian used his footwork to measure that it was at least 24 meters long, which was equivalent to the length of four to five cars added together. The corpse was lying on the ground and was actually as tall as a person.
"Dig it open. We should be able to gain something this time," Ren Baqian immediately ordered.
Everyone flipped the crocodile over and stabbed its white belly with a knife. It was as if they were stabbing a rock, and it took them a lot of effort to dig open its belly.
With the size of this crocodile, everyone would have to jump down to search for it.
After spending some time, everyone cleared out the contents of the crocodile's stomach. Their harvest was a huge crocodile heart x1, a huge crocodile penis x1, a huge crocodile internal organs x1, a huge crocodile skin, a huge crocodile skeleton, and several tons of huge crocodile meat.
However, there weren't any of the rare treasures that Ren Baqian had expected.
Instead, everyone realized that this crocodile's skin was practically invulnerable. Even the winged cavalry warriors couldn't cut it with their knives.
After feeling disappointed, Ren Baqian changed his train of thought. This crocodile's skin seemed to be a good harvest and could be used to make armor.
As for the other things, there might really be something good. It was just that he knew too little about crocodiles, so he mistook these treasures for trash.
Taking a step back, at least they would have dinner for the next few days.
Although this crocodile was shot dead by the empress as soon as it appeared, the empress also said that this crocodile had the strength of a Kismet Heaven expert. Such a powerful beast would be a great supplement even if it was used as food.
Although Ren Baqian comforted himself this way, he still sent people to look for the crocodile's nest in the vicinity. Perhaps they could find something.
Unfortunately, after searching for half a day, they still didn't find anything.
It was already late, so everyone had to set up camp and send some people to cut down trees to build a pontoon bridge.
Meanwhile, Ren Baqian cut a little of each of the crocodile's heart, internal organs, meat, tail glue, and penis to bring back to Earth.
Since there wasn't any other harvest, they could only let the laboratory analyze whether this crocodile had any other value.
After bidding farewell to the empress, Ren Baqian got into her carriage and prepared to go back. In the past, he was always in his room or in a hidden place. Now that he was outside, he didn't have to be afraid to do so in the empress's carriage.
In fact, Ren Baqian wanted to try something else. If the empress moved the carriage after he left, would he still be in it when he appeared again?
After bidding farewell, Ren Baqian used his mind, and the surrounding air began to distort.
At this moment, the empress's expression changed.
She saw a streak of red light plunge into Ren Baqian's chest.
In an instant, Ren Baqian disappeared.
Along with him disappeared … was the empress's carriage …
The thick fur that the empress used as a bed, the table that held the fruit and wine jugs, and the boxes that held the clothes all fell to the ground.
Qing Yuan and Hong Luan were also caught off guard and fell, almost landing face first.
The empress landed in mid-air and looked at the empty surroundings and the many stunned winged cavalry warriors. Her face was cold and messy in the night wind.
Just at this moment, a bolt of lightning split the night sky, followed by a deep rumble of thunder …
"Your Majesty …" The winged cavalry commander, Gong Zheng, stepped forward with a blank look on his face. He really wanted to ask the empress where the carriage was. Why was the carriage gone?
