"Your Majesty, be careful. His blood isn't poisonous, right?" Ren Baqian asked with concern as the empress descended from the sky.
The empress raised her hand to look at her palm. She exerted force and shook off all the blue blood on the ground.
Not a single trace was left.
Then, she said faintly, "I'm fine."
The empress looked up at the cave that she had collapsed. Rustling sounds were still coming from inside, and there was only a thin layer of stone left.
The empress leaped up and slapped the cliff twice. A large amount of soil and stones came crashing down and tightly blocked the cave.
No matter what, she couldn't let those jade-waisted slaves disturb her now.
After doing this, the empress and Ren Baqian looked at Bor, who had fallen to the ground.
Half of his body had been smashed by the empress, and he had fallen from a height of more than 100 meters. His blue blood was splattered everywhere.
Bor was lying on the ground, but he wasn't dead yet. His chest was still rising and falling slightly.
From the mutilations, it could be seen that Bor's body was very different from that of a human's. The thickness of his bones was much lower than that of a human's. Ren Baqian picked up a broken limb from the ground. It was unexpectedly light, and the muscle density was much lower than that of a human's.
The weight of the bones mixed in was also very light. This was probably the reason why his body was so thin. Their bones couldn't support a heavy body.
Such a body structure also gave them speed that far exceeded that of humans and beasts.
Ren Baqian stepped forward and gave him a gentle kick. Bor turned his head slightly, and it was impossible to tell whether his compound eyes were open or closed.
However, this movement of his head let them know that he was still awake.
"Tell us what we want to know. Your injury can still be cured!" Ren Baqian said.
"You lied to me!" Bor said with his lips wriggling.
"Sorry, I couldn't help but lie to you when I saw you!" Ren Baqian laughed and sat down beside him.
"Why?"
"Because you are too stupid! I haven't seen such a stupid person in a long time! "
"Stupid …?" Bor murmured. This word was very unfamiliar to him.
However, he understood the meaning of this word.
"You lied to me when you said that my injury can still be cured!" Bor said.
Ren Baqian laughed again. The other party was smart this time. In other words, he understood his own body very well.
Half of his body was gone, and all the bones in his body were broken. If he could be saved, he would be a deity!
However, Bor's voice was still very clear. It seemed that he could still hold on for a while.
"Why did you do those things?" Ren Baqian asked.
"What is it?"
"Those jade-waisted slaves! How did you guys manage to put them into the bodies of the ancient race beings? Why did you guys do that?"
Bor looked at Ren Baqian strangely and said, "We are the herdsmen of the jade-waisted slaves! Why ask why? The jade-waisted slaves are our food and our weapons. The ancients are the easiest petri dishes to find, and the jade-waisted slaves raised by the ancients also taste the best. "
When the Water Empress heard this, her face turned cold again, "So you deserve to die!"
"Perhaps that's the case for you aboriginals. To other creatures, you deserve to die as well. Wasn't it natural to eat food to maintain life? It's only when you have wisdom, other thoughts, love and hate that you will feel that hurting your own people is worthy of death, "Bo Er said softly.
These words left the empress and Ren Baqian speechless.
"Do you guys also have love and hate?" Ren Baqian was very interested in this question.
This was the second time he had seen a humanoid creature.
The previous one only ate and slept and had no value as a reference.
"We … do too! It's just that we're not like the aboriginals. We … give up our childhood memories when we grow up. This is because we have to survive on our own after we grow up. We release the jade-waisted slaves and only gather together during mating.
Our childhood memories will make us feel lonelier and weaker when we live alone for a long period of time.
Therefore, when we grow up, we give up our memories and embark on a journey to find a habitat … We give up our memories and also give up our love and hate … "
After hearing this, Ren Baqian looked up at the empress and said softly, "For us, love and hate are the most beautiful things in our lives. If we give up on these, we are no different from those beasts."
He then lowered his head and said, "You are about to be killed by us, but you can still talk to us calmly. Is it because you have given up love and hate? In my opinion, this is very sad! "
"To kill or be killed, to eat other creatures or to be eaten by other creatures, these are all part of this world. Death is just a state. Although you killed me, you won't hate anything because of this … Or rather, I have forgotten my hatred … "Bor murmured.
"Why did you want to kill us when we found you?" Ren Baqian felt that this was very strange. Given the mentality that Bor was currently showing, why did he want to kill him and the empress back then?
"Because you would have killed us too. We used the aboriginals as petri dishes, and you would also want to take revenge. I already knew this. The aboriginals are such a race, or should I say, humans are such a race. "
"How much do you know about humans?" Ren Baqian asked again.
"I don't know … Every time I eat one, I will understand a little … Perhaps when I eat enough, I will understand …" Bor's words made Ren Baqian's heart turn cold.
This race could obtain information from eating the jade-waisted slaves that were cultivated using the aboriginals as petri dishes?
"What do you mean?" Ren Baqian quickly asked.
"I'm tired … Although this is the first time I've spoken so much to someone and will be the last time, I'm tired … I think I'm going to die …" Bor murmured.
"How do you obtain information from eating the jade-waisted slaves? Where are your people? "
Bor's lips curled into a smile, and then he stopped talking. It was unknown where the focus of his compound eyes was.
"Is he still alive?" Ren Baqian tentatively touched his heart and found that it had stopped beating.
"Dead …" Ren Baqian got up and felt a little regretful that he didn't finish his question.
However, he still had his people.
"By the way, can you put my body in the river?" Bor suddenly asked, startling Ren Baqian.
He almost thought that he was a zombie.
"Why?"
"Because our race will return to the water after we die," Bor said.
"I will wrap up your head, bring it back to Lan City, and suppress it under the palace. You will be suppressed there forever and wail in endless time!" the empress said coldly.
"That's really a pity!" Bor murmured.
Ren Baqian felt that the light in his compound eyes dimmed.
"You have learned what regret is!" Ren Baqian said softly.
However, there was no response.
"I'm dead this time, right?" Ren Baqian sighed.
He didn't expect to experience such things on this trip.
However, it was a good thing that he finally knew who the enemy was.
"Your Majesty, let me take the head," Ren Baqian said when he saw that the empress was about to make a move.
He couldn't let her do such a thing.
It wouldn't look good!
"Don't damage it!" The empress didn't care.
"Understood!" Ren Baqian squatted next to Bor's body and touched his neck. It was very thin and seemed like it would break with a twist. However, it was just a feeling.
It wasn't difficult to break the neck, but twisting it off required more strength and skill.
Ren Baqian thought about it, and a gold and silver spear appeared in his hand.
He aimed the tip of the spear at Bor's neck, gestured to the side, and was about to stab it when the empress suddenly said, "Wait!"
"What?"
"Blood will spurt out from this position. The position where you are standing will be sprayed on your body, "the empress said faintly.
"Has his blood flowed out?" Ren Baqian was surprised.
The empress shook her head and said, "There is still a lot of blood in his body, enough to splatter out …"
"Then I will change my position." Ren Baqian changed his position, took aim, and looked up at the empress. "Is this place okay?"
"You can stab from the other side, turn half a circle, and cut off the neck. The artery is the last to be cut, and you can withdraw with the spear," the empress pointed out.
"Understood." Ren Baqian had a look of understanding.
In such an environment, it would be weird for a fairy-like beauty to instruct a man on how to dismember a corpse.
Ren Baqian changed his position and was about to strike when he suddenly thought of something. "Actually, it's fine to bring his entire body back. We can send it back to the Messier 87 department for examination. "
"After all, know yourself and know your enemy!"
"Besides, there is no time to send the head back now. We can freeze it in the refrigerator and suppress it when we return to Lan City."
The empress thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Just as she was about to nod, Bor, who was lying on the ground, sighed with an inexplicable emotion and said, "Both of you, hurry up and do it! I have been waiting for a long time! "
