Ren Baqian originally thought that everyone would be back before daybreak. In the end, it was already daybreak by the time he returned to the shore after cultivating in the water. However, there were still no traces of them.
Ren Baqian lay beside the bonfire and started to ponder. Could something have happened?
Those jade-waisted slaves might be difficult to deal with, but with the empress around, there shouldn't be any problems.
Ren Baqian still trusted the empress.
This was especially so when the empress already knew the actual strength of the other party.
After resting for a moment, he got up and cooked a pot of meat soup. After drinking it, he went back into the water to cultivate.
Qing Yuan and Hong Luan couldn't wait any longer and went to the entrance of the valley to wait.
After noon, Ren Baqian started to feel a little anxious and wondered if he should go and look for them. At this moment, Qing Yuan and Hong Luan's shouts came from outside the valley, "They are back! He's back! "
Ren Baqian was finally relieved. He sat there and slowly cooked the meat soup.
After waiting for a while, everyone entered the valley. Ren Baqian took a closer look and saw that the empress, who was in the lead, was fine.
Many of the winged cavalry warriors at the back were injured.
The most important thing was the number of people.
Ren Baqian did a headcount and found that eight people were missing.
"Your Majesty! Drink some soup first! " Ren Baqian scooped a bowl of soup for the empress. After seeing her raise her head and drink it in one gulp, he asked, "Did you encounter any trouble this time?"
The empress's face immediately turned cold. "Those jade-waisted slaves are indeed powerful! Fortunately, I sealed those jade-waisted slaves in the cave yesterday. Otherwise, I might not have been able to take down that herdsman. "
Ren Baqian's heart trembled.
Those jade-waisted slaves, who had no one to command them, had injured so many people under the empress's watch, and eight winged cavalry warriors had died.
If there was someone commanding them, they would have to pay a huge price to wipe out the 30 Herdsmen.
Obviously, this was also what the empress was worried about.
The news that Zi Donglai had conquered the Yun Nation's capital only made everyone happy for half a day. However, the appearance of the herdsmen and the jade-waisted slaves made everyone tense up again.
After everyone rested for a while, the empress sent everyone out to the Ya Family Village to contact the winged cavalry warriors who had gone to recruit.
There were more than 30 herdsmen, and the empress's subordinates weren't enough to deal with them.
The rest of the people went to look for the winged cavalry warriors, Gong Zheng, and Lin Qiaole!
If they encountered the Herders, these people might not be able to return!
"Your Majesty, did you bring back the corpses of the jade-waisted slaves?" Ren Baqian asked. "I will bring them back to see if I can find their weaknesses."
At present, he only knew that herdsmen were extremely fast and could use their names to perform some tricks.
As long as they were on guard, there wouldn't be too much danger.
No matter how fast the Herdsmen were, their bodies weren't strong.
The biggest threat was the tens of thousands of jade-waisted slaves.
The results this time also proved this point.
The Water Empress frowned and shook her head, "After the demonic butterflies die, they will shrink into a ball and disintegrate into ashes."
As she spoke, the empress glanced at Ren Baqian and swallowed her words.
On the way back, she had been thinking for a long time. Whether it was the fact that the jade-waisted slaves had the appearance of their host or that they would turn into ashes after death, she felt that the jade-waisted slaves had something to do with divine souls.
If there was a technique that specialized in attacking the soul, it would probably have a great effect on the jade-waisted slaves.
Unfortunately, the Ancient Race was not good at this.
Ren Baqian, on the other hand, had a chance with his technique … However, he was still very far from this step.
"In that case, I'll go back and see how the Messier 87 is doing with the unformed corpses of the jade-waisted slaves!" Ren Baqian said and returned to Earth.
After 16 hours, he came back with two wooden boxes in his hands …
"What are these?" The empress perked up and asked, "Are there any results from the research?"
"There aren't any results … However, I did bring something back!" Ren Baqian said with a strange look on his face.
The empress looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Are these for dealing with the jade-waisted slaves?"
She and Ren Baqian had the same idea on this point.
"Yes!"
"What are the effects?" the empress asked again.
"I don't know …" Ren Baqian was speechless.
As soon as he returned, he hurried to the Messier 87 department. When he was about to leave, he received these things, which made him curse out loud.
He never expected that the Messier 87 department would actually give him such things.
Insecticide!
Of course, it was a special insecticide.
Although the Messier 87 department hadn't made much progress with the demonic butterfly corpses, they had researched something and produced a special insecticide.
As for the effects, no one knew.
After all, there weren't any living things to experiment on.
The Messier 87 department had only done some research and determined that some things might be effective on them.
After listening to Ren Baqian, the empress wasn't disappointed. At least she could give it a try. "Wait for them to come back! Continue to practice! "
Ren Baqian nodded, took off his clothes, jumped into the water, and continued to practice.
After five days, the winged cavalry warriors began to come back one after another. However, they didn't stay long before setting off to hunt in the distance.
Food was a big problem here.
However, as some people came back and some went hunting, the valley could always maintain around 70 to 80 people, which made it a lot livelier.
Ren Baqian also found some time to go back to Earth and bring back the second generation insecticide.
In addition to killing insects, it also had a volatile and flammable effect.
Half a month passed, and Ren Baqian had been practicing in the pond for nearly two and a half months.
It seemed that with the repeated struggle between the cold and heat, as well as the recovery of the essence qi in his body, there were some unexpected changes to his body surface and muscles.
His body had grown even bigger. In just ten days, his body had become thicker, as if he had been blown up.
At a glance, he was 1.75 meters tall and weighed at least 150 kilograms. Furthermore, all of his muscles were bulging.
He was almost the type that strangers didn't want to get close to.
If one stood among the aboriginals, they wouldn't be able to distinguish him from afar.
However, one would be able to see him when they got closer. After all, his face was much fairer than the aboriginals'.
Ren Baqian was somewhat aware of this change. The first step was almost complete.
What was left was to strip a portion of the essence qi from the circulation of the internal organs and hammer it into the surface of the body and muscles.
When this step was completed, his defense would be greatly enhanced. At the very least, he wouldn't be seriously injured by a casual punch from the empress.
He would then be able to enter the bridal chamber with peace of mind.
However, the empress's expression was extremely ugly at this moment.
It wasn't just her. All the winged cavalry warriors in the valley looked grave.
15 days had passed, and there were still some people who hadn't returned. This included the three groups and the people who went to look for them. There was no news at all.
The furthest direction that these people had explored was a journey of six days.
Among these three groups, one of them was Gong Zheng and Lin Qiaole!
"Your Majesty, with Lin Qiaole's speed, she should be fine." Ren Baqian came out of the Earth Yin Spring, picked up a bath towel, and wiped his body before walking to the empress's side.
The empress's expression turned cold, and she remained silent.
Lin Qiaole's speed was indeed fast, but those herdsmen weren't slow either.
The most important thing was whether the two of them had fallen for other tricks.
For example, their real names!
If Ren Baqian hadn't spouted nonsense that day, he probably wouldn't have known that he had fallen for the other party's tricks.
