A large number of butterflies with fluorescent wings fluttered in the forest. As they flapped their wings up and down, the green fluorescent light swayed up and down.
It was supposed to be a beautiful and romantic scene.
However, the human faces on the butterflies made the empress feel a bone-piercing chill.
Ren Baqian's face turned solemn.
There were tens of thousands of butterflies in this forest.
That meant thousands and tens of thousands of lives.
Tens of thousands of lives that had quietly perished in the Sixty Thousand Mountains.
"Your Majesty, it's not just the human faces," Ren Baqian suddenly said as he stared at the butterflies. "In that direction, there are many butterflies with the faces of ferocious beasts, such as saber-toothed tigers and apes."
From the looks of it, there were only about a third of them.
However, most of them were butterflies with human faces.
At this moment, it was unknown whether the flying butterflies had alarmed something in the forest.
Like the sound of a flute, a melodious yet sorrowful tune rang out. The butterflies were immediately attracted by the sound.
"Let's go and take a look." The empress suppressed her aura, walked more than ten meters, and followed behind the butterflies.
Ren Baqian took a few steps forward, leaped over the empress, and reached out to catch a butterfly. He wanted to see what was going on with these butterflies with human faces.
"Don't move!" the empress suddenly said and grabbed Ren Baqian.
"Your Majesty?"
"Look at where these demonic butterflies are flying!" the empress said.
Ren Baqian suppressed his doubts and looked ahead. After observing for a while, he suddenly found a problem.
These butterflies rarely touched plants, but every time they did, leaves or other things would fall down.
Ren Baqian rushed forward to check and found that the leaves that fell seemed to have been cut.
"The wings of these demonic butterflies are like blades," the empress said with a frown.
Ren Baqian was a little speechless. These demonic butterflies were indeed extraordinary. They didn't look much different from ordinary butterflies, except that they were a little bigger, and each was about the size of two palms.
In addition, they had strange human faces.
However, these wings didn't look very special, but they were like sharp blades, which was simply shocking.
However, when he thought about how much effort the other party had put in, each Demonic Butterfly was equivalent to a human life. It was only natural that it was extraordinary.
Originally, he wanted to see what these strange butterflies were capable of. Otherwise, if the two of them were to collide head-on with these thousands of butterflies, it would be quite dangerous.
However, after the empress's reminder, he gave up on the idea of catching a butterfly to avoid alerting the enemy.
The two of them chased the butterfly through the forest and came to a mountain wall. They saw a thin but extremely tall man standing in front of the cave. The flute-like sound came from a white bone in his hand.
With a point of the white bone in the man's hand, the demonic butterflies flew into the cave.
"No wonder the winged cavalry didn't discover him at such a close distance. It turns out that he still has a hiding place," Ren Baqian said from behind the empress.
The Water Empress wore a cold expression and did not say a word. She walked towards the man step by step, and her aura was as sharp as a sword.
For the past two months, the anger in her heart had been brewing. Every time she received news that a stronghold had been discovered, the anger in her heart would continue to rise.
Every time she gave the order, lives would be sacrificed. However, the empress would also feel pain in her heart. This pain would eventually turn into a monstrous rage, and she would prepare to burn everything down.
Needless to say, the demonic butterflies that she had just seen were another few thousand lives.
She did not expect to actually discover the mastermind under such circumstances. This finally gave the empress the opportunity to vent her anger.
However, the most important thing now was to capture him and figure out the whole story.
After that, the empress had already prepared 1,080 ways for him to die.
However, the two of them stopped 70 meters away from the other party and looked at the man in front of them in shock.
Under the dim light of the night, at this distance, the two of them could finally see the man's appearance clearly.
However, his appearance did not look like that of a human's.
He had green skin, long ears, a round nose that was much larger than an ordinary person's, and four extremely wide fangs protruded from his lips. Most importantly, his eyes.
They did not have the eye sockets, sclera, and pupils of a human.
Instead, two sunglasses-like objects were fastened over his eyes. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that they were the other party's eyes. They were filled with indifference and ruthlessness.
Upon closer inspection, one could vaguely see that the sunglasses-like objects were made up of small hexagonal cubes.
As soon as Ren Baqian saw the other party's eyes, he immediately thought of the compound eyes of insects that he had seen before.
The other party was more than 2.2 meters tall, but his body and limbs were extremely slender. It looked as if he could be blown away by the wind.
Before the two of them could speak, the other party spoke first. His voice was unexpectedly melodious, crisp, and pleasing to the ear like that of a young girl. "You actually came with my jade-waisted slaves!"
"You call them jade-waisted slaves? What are you? "the empress asked coldly.
"You can call me Bor!" the other party replied.
"Previously, I sensed a group of aboriginals in the vicinity. My jade-waisted slaves were sufficient, and I would have let you go if you wanted to leave. I didn't expect you to find your way here, so I can't let you go."
"Are you alone or do you have other companions?" Ren Baqian asked.
"I'm the only one here!" the other party said without a care. "This place belongs to me, and it's where I herd my jade-waisted slaves."
"Very well!" the empress said coldly. It seemed like he was the one who had taken over all the villages around here.
"What exactly are you?" Ren Baqian asked.
"I've already said my name, so you have to say yours too. Isn't this the etiquette of you humans?" the other party replied.
Ren Baqian couldn't see any expression on his face.
In particular, the color of his eyes was constantly changing. It was unknown how many hexagonal visual organs formed his compound eyes, but it always gave people goosebumps just by looking at them.
"I'm Chen Ergou! My name is Chen Fugui! "Ren Baqian subconsciously gave two fake names.
Although the empress felt that these names were unpleasant to the ear, she couldn't care less about them given the current situation.
"What are you?" the empress asked this time.
This was the third time she had asked this question.
"We are acceptance spirits that specialize in herding!"
"Where are you from? How many people are there? Where are they? "
"Very far away, and I don't know exactly where they are. As for how many people there are, there are 34 of them in this area. Their positions are the same as mine, and each of them has their own herding area. "Bor didn't hide anything and answered all the questions he knew.
There was only one reason for this, and that was that the other party had a card up his sleeve.
They regarded the two of them as dead people.
"Alright, are you done with your questions?" Bor asked.
"One last question. What are jade-waisted slaves?" Ren Baqian asked again.
"As you can see, they are my possessions. They are very beautiful and taste very good!" Bor praised them, but there wasn't a trace of emotion in his voice.
The empress couldn't take it anymore. Her aura erupted like a volcano, and in the blink of an eye, a huge mountain that couldn't be seen with the naked eye appeared in the valley.
"Not bad," Bor praised. Then, he suddenly shouted, "Chen Fugui!"
His compound eyes turned green, just like the color of the wings of the jade-waisted slaves. In the center of the green eyes was a boundless darkness that seemed to suck in their souls.
Ren Baqian suddenly screamed and fell to the ground.
This unforeseen event startled the empress. "What's wrong with you?"
Bor was a little dumbfounded. This reaction wasn't right.
Although Ren Baqian's reaction wasn't right and he shouldn't have fallen to the ground, he only felt that something might have gone wrong. After being dumbfounded for a while, he asked curiously, "So your name is Chen Fugui. Then, is she Chen Ergou?"
Then, his eyes turned green, and he shouted at the empress, "Chen Ergou!"
