The bichi arched its body and stared at the golden-feathered eagle in the sky. However, the golden-feathered eagle only circled in the air and let out a clear cry from time to time.
The golden-feathered eagle wasn't considered a superior predator in the Sixty Thousand Mountains. This eagle had a wingspan of seven to eight meters, and its iron claws could tear apart a black-haired man of the same level. To ordinary aboriginals, the golden-feathered eagle was a very dangerous existence … However, there were too many ferocious beasts in the Sixty Thousand Mountains, and there were many predators in the sky that were more powerful than the golden-feathered eagle.
Furthermore, the golden-feathered eagle had an extremely delicate smell.
This made the golden-feathered eagle the prey of other beasts if it wasn't careful.
Therefore, the golden-feathered eagle was usually very cautious and mostly hunted weak prey like babeasts in the open space of the forest.
This time, however, it was different. It had its eyes on the bichi and refused to leave even though it knew that the little fellow below was not easy to deal with.
After a while, the bichi rolled its eyes and suddenly leaped toward other trees without looking back. It jumped high and low from tree to tree, exposing its back to the golden-feathered eagle's field of vision from time to time.
The golden-feathered eagle in the sky couldn't bear it anymore and swooped down.
The golden-feathered eagle could reach 600 kilometers per hour when hunting, but this speed was still too slow in the bichi's eyes.
This was especially true in front of the golden-feathered eagle, which played with speed.
Just as the golden-feathered eagle was about to pounce on it, the bichi suddenly disappeared from the tree branch. The golden-feathered eagle's huge body and claws broke the fist-thick tree branch and crashed into the dense forest below.
The bichi turned into a red line and scurried to another tree before turning back and grabbing at the golden-feathered eagle's neck from the side.
In an instant, the golden-feathered eagle's neck was torn in half. Fresh blood sprayed out and emitted an alluring bloody smell in the forest.
The golden-feathered eagle wanted to use its iron hook to tear the bichi apart before it died, but it missed.
The golden-feathered eagle struggled in mid-air as it smashed a few tree branches and fell.
By the time it landed on the ground, it was already half-dead.
The bichi jumped onto the golden-feathered eagle's back and shook its tail gently. Its small eyes were full of pride.
However, it didn't feel proud for long before its eyes widened and its short fur stood on end.
Just a few dozen meters away from him, a jet-black fellow was looking at him with a pair of cold and cruel eyes.
It was a four-meter-tall bird.
The black fish all over its body emitted a metallic glow.
His eyes were filled with ridicule.
The bichi was startled by the fact that there was a Direbeast here that it hadn't discovered before.
However, it was only a slight shock.
The bichi jumped down from the body of the Golden-feathered Eagle. It first took a few tentative steps towards the ferocious beast. Then, it hopped to one side, then to the other side. Its small eyes looked at the black beast for a while, then looked around.
The strange black bird just looked at the bouncing bichi with a mocking gaze. It didn't move at all.
The bichi seemed to be a little bored. It jumped ten meters away from the strange bird and raised its head to look at it. It seemed to find this uncomfortable, so it jumped onto a branch and looked down at the strange bird. Only then was it satisfied.
"Woof!" The bichi barked.
His voice carried a hint of provocation.
Then the black bird moved.
Like a bolt of black lightning.
It crashed directly into the tree beneath the bichi.
Boom! More than half of the tree was sent flying.
Even though the bichi jumped away in time, it was still shocked by the speed of the black bird!
Fast!
Very fast!
This was the first time it realized that there was such a fast creature besides itself!
The black bird rushed to the tree where the bichi was resting. With a flap of its wings, it cut the tree in half like a steel knife.
Just like that, the two beasts started fighting in the forest.
The bichi fled while the black bird chased. Like a bulldozer, it cleared a path in the forest.
One by one, the towering trees fell with a loud crash.
Very soon, the bichi felt like cursing.
How could this fellow be so fast? Didn't it feel tired? No matter how fast it ran or how hard it tried to hide, it couldn't shake it off. It was like maggots on a bone. Wherever it went, that fellow followed.
It didn't even have a chance to breathe!
…
Ping Village on Mount Pingliang.
When the empress and her party arrived, the entire village naturally came out to welcome them. Everyone in the village came out to welcome the empress.
However, what caught the empress's attention was that many of them were injured.
Ren Baqian looked around and saw about 500 to 600 people. The men were wearing animal skin shorts, the women were wearing shorts and tube tops, and only a few elders were wearing cloth clothes.
However, many of them were injured.
There were at least twenty people with different injuries on their bodies.
There were both men and women among them, but without exception, all of them were at the Kismet Heaven level, which was equivalent to the Earth Wheel level.
As for the other Four-way Heaven villagers, they were fine.
"Shang Ping Village welcomes Your Majesty's arrival. This is the first time Your Majesty has returned in more than 10 years. Please don't blame us for coming late!" A few elders in cloth clothes came forward and said to the empress. Even though they looked calm, one could see the worry between their eyebrows.
"What's going on?" the empress raised her eyebrows and asked. Shang Ping Village wasn't considered a big village, but because it was close to the Forest Pillar Screen and Ya City, it had always been a place that the aboriginals had to pass through. As a result, its situation had always been pretty good. Many of the weaker villagers simply gave up the tradition of hunting for a living and became middlemen instead.
They were the kind of guides who brought aboriginals out of the mountains to Ya City to sell herbs and ores, as well as to buy salt and iron for a small fee.
Furthermore, this was the periphery of Shang Ping Village. There weren't any ferocious beasts around it, so it had always been very peaceful.
However, it seemed like there was a problem now, especially with the injured Kismet Heaven martial artists in the stronghold. If he remembered correctly, the Shang Ping Stronghold rarely fought with others. They had also recruited people from other strongholds, so there were at least 60 to 70 Kismet Heaven martial artists in the stronghold.
Now, only 20 of them had come out. Where were the rest?
"Your Majesty, you must be tired. Please enter the village and rest!" The elders didn't answer and instead invited the empress into the village.
Shang Ping Village wasn't a big village, but there were many stone houses in it. Many of them were empty and could be used by the aboriginals to rest.
Furthermore, they didn't charge any fees.
It was precisely because of the important location of Shang Ping Village and this method that it had a good reputation among the other villages.
The moment Ren Baqian entered the village, he smelled the lingering smell of blood.
He looked in the direction of the smell and saw seven or eight corpses placed at the side with straw mats covering them.
"What the hell is going on? I want to hear it, "the empress asked.
The elders hesitated for a while before replying, "We didn't want to disturb Your Majesty. A few months ago, a crow general appeared out of nowhere and settled down nearby. It was extremely powerful, and the people in the village wanted to drive it away at first. However, many of them were injured instead. Nowadays, the people in the village are often attacked by it when they go hunting. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in Shang Ping Village! "
The empress raised her eyebrows and asked, "A Cardinal Heaven crow general?"
"Yes! It must be a Cardinal Heaven expert! Over the past few days, 31 Kismet Heaven experts have been killed or injured by it! "The elders nodded.
Ren Baqian looked at the empress thoughtfully and asked, "Your Majesty, there aren't many crow generals with such strength, right?"
"I've rarely heard of them!" Gong Zheng, the commander of the winged cavalry, replied.
Ren Baqian nodded. Last year, he had seen a crow general with this kind of strength in Tianjing Basin. It was one of the three most powerful strange beasts in the Six Doors. During the final battle, all the other people and strange beasts were killed, but that crow general escaped!
This one couldn't be that one, right?
After all, such a powerful beast had its own territory and wouldn't easily move to an unfamiliar place.
In particular, this was the periphery of the Sixty Thousand Mountains, where such a powerful beast shouldn't appear.
In particular, it was a rare beast like the crow general.
If it was the one in Tianjing Basin, it would make sense.
Ren Baqian didn't know how it came here from Tianjing Basin.
Soon, he became excited again.
He was envious of that crow general. Not only was it powerful, but it also had extraordinary strength and a body like steel. Most importantly, it could be ridden.
Back then, he saw that crow general run away with Tietou Mangshan and that monkey on its back.
If the empress could subdue this crow general, it would be a good thing! Although it wasn't as awe-inspiring as Qishui the kirin, it was still a top-notch mount.
Most importantly, they had obtained records of this crow general from the Six Doors when they were clearing them out.
