At night, a blood moon and a yellow moon hung in the sky in two different directions.
The moonlight shone on the forest, forming fragmented spots of light.
Ren Baqian sat on a tree trunk and looked into the distance with a pair of binoculars. He saw that the grotesque forest was glowing with a dark green light.
Even though most of his vision was blocked, the dark green light that shone on the trees explained everything.
"They have appeared!" Ren Baqian said.
At this moment, the group was still a few kilometers away from the forest where the demons were dancing.
They didn't want to be discovered if they got too close.
"Your Majesty, are we going to investigate in the sky?" the ladies from Mount Gongmu, who already knew about their mission, asked.
Without waiting for the empress to speak, Ren Baqian sat on a tree trunk and said, "When they leave, follow them in the sky and find their position!"
"Sir Ren, don't worry!" They smiled at Ren Baqian, and one of them even winked at him.
That lady was called Gong Yue. She was the most delicate and the most courageous. She had winked at Ren Baqian more than once in the past two days.
Although they were a little disappointed to know that Ren Baqian was the empress's husband.
However, every time they saw the luster on Ren Baqian's body, they were always moved.
A man with such a luster on his body was extremely attractive to them.
He was like a lighthouse in the dark.
If he wasn't the empress's man … they would really want to snatch him back to their village.
"Let your bird go and check the situation." Ren Baqian lowered his head and said to Li Bai.
"It's called Third Fatty!" Li Bai explained.
Ren Baqian felt that it was better to just call it a bird!
Li Bai's throat cooed a few times, and the owl cooed reluctantly. However, as Li Bai raised his arms, the owl had no choice but to spread its wings and clumsily flap to maintain its altitude. It cooed a few times before flying forward.
Ren Baqian watched it fly for a few minutes before landing on a tree to rest. It flew for another two minutes before resting again. It seemed that flying instinctively for birds was a huge burden for it.
After more than an hour, the owl flew back shakily and crashed into Li Bai's arms like a brick.
"Coo coo!"
"Coo, coo, coo!"
"Coo, coo, coo!"
"It said that there are many glowing Demon Butterflies in the forest, there is no one else!" Li Bai said.
Ren Baqian nodded to indicate that he understood. He hung the binoculars around his neck and looked at them every few minutes.
"Du! Thud! Du!
Qi Ziting was bored to death as he poked at the rocks with his wooden staff. After a few pokes, he managed to poke a hole in a rock that was half the size of a human.
After a while, the stone was already riddled with holes.
Qi Ziting looked up at Ren Baqian and said, "Come down!"
Ren Baqian lowered his head and looked at him.
"I hate it when people are taller than me!" Qi Ziting looked dissatisfied.
"Bam!" Ever since the empress kicked Ren Baqian during the day, she had gotten used to it. In Ren Baqian's eyes, this kick was as smooth as moving clouds and flowing water. It didn't have the slightest trace of smoke and fire, was magnificent, and made people feel relaxed and happy! “
"Xiao Ya, you have changed!" Qi Ziting, who had returned to his original seat, had an emotional look on his face.
The empress snorted and couldn't be bothered with him.
The image of the majestic man in her heart was crumbling.
Everyone waited until it was just past the hour of the day. Ren Baqian saw through the binoculars that the green light was beginning to fade.
"They have retreated. It has begun!" Ren Baqian put down the binoculars and said.
The women of Mount Gongmu cupped their fists at the empress, spread out, grabbed the claws of the giant eagle, and flew into the sky.
"Everyone, get ready!" Qi Ziting stood up with the help of his crutches and said to the people behind him.
One by one, the winged cavalry warriors and aboriginals checked their weapons. They were either sitting or standing with grave expressions.
A murderous aura brewed and churned in the silence.
The entire forest was filled with a somber atmosphere.
After another hour, the sky began to brighten.
A giant bird descended from the sky with a whistling sound. When it was about seven or eight meters above the ground, a person fell from the sky. After rolling on the ground, he got up and walked to the empress and the others. "Your Majesty, I have found the location. It's in a mountain about five kilometers away from here. "
"Lead the way. Let's go!" The empress got up from the rock with a murderous look on her face.
"Let's go!"
More than 1,000 people abandoned their mounts and quickly shuttled through the forest toward the location of their target.
As they passed through the forest that was full of demons, Ren Baqian inadvertently glanced at it and suddenly let out a soft cry of surprise.
"What happened?" The empress stopped and turned to look at him.
The people behind her immediately stopped.
"The face pattern on this tree seems to have changed a little since I saw it yesterday!" Ren Baqian pointed at a tree and said.
This was the tree that Ren Baqian had pointed out during the day, so it left a deep impression on him. Ren Baqian felt that there was something different about this tree when he glanced at it.
"Did you see wrongly?" the empress asked with a frown. She didn't find anything different.
"Perhaps!" Ren Baqian replied after thinking for a while. "However, everyone should be more careful."
After the order was passed down, Ren Baqian walked through the forest with his heart in his mouth. However, nothing happened until he was out of the forest, which made him feel that he might have been overthinking.
After walking for more than two hours, the sky was already bright. However, for some reason, this land was always much dimmer than the outside world.
"Your Majesty, it's on that mountain," the lady from Mount Gongmu who was leading the way said as she pointed ahead.
After speaking, she put her finger in her mouth and whistled.
In the distance, a big bird immediately flew up. When it arrived above everyone's head, a person fell from the bird's body.
"Your Majesty, there's a cave on the east side of that mountain. The demonic butterflies and something that looks like a human have entered as well. We have been taking turns to monitor them from the sky. They are still inside. " This time, it was Gong Yue who landed and reported to the empress. She occasionally glanced at Ren Baqian from the corner of her eyes as if she had inadvertently seen him.
However, the way she looked at Ren Baqian was always different from how she looked at others.
There seemed to be a trace of fire in her eyes.
"Lead the way!" the empress ordered.
The mountain wasn't very tall, and the vegetation wasn't dense.
This place was the same as other places that they had passed through, filled with a unique kind of coldness.
As they got closer, they could see the cave that the people from Mount Gongmu were talking about.
"Everyone, get into position 100 meters away and get ready!" Qi Ziting instructed everyone and followed the empress to the entrance of the cave.
From the outside of the cave, it could be seen that there were indeed traces of human activity here.
Not far from the entrance of the cave were two footprints that were deeply imprinted on the ground. It was as if someone had been standing there all along.
Seeing these footprints, everyone could imagine that every night, the demonic butterflies would head to the forest about five kilometers away, and a humanoid monster would stand there day after day.
