Ren Baqian and the empress strolled in a valley. Many lantern-like fist-sized flowers were emitting blue, red, and pink lights.
The lights weren't strong, but the countless flowers made it so that there wasn't a single dark corner in the valley.
Countless colorful lights shone in the valley, forming an extremely resplendent picture.
"Your Majesty, this place is so beautiful!" Qing Yuan and Hong Luan followed behind with admiration and happiness written all over their faces.
Girls always lacked resistance to such beautiful scenery.
"This is simply the Valley of Resplendence!" Ren Baqian exclaimed and took a picture of this scene with his camera.
This valley was discovered by the winged cavalry. It was said that this place was strange and beautiful, so Ren Baqian and the empress specially came to tour it at night.
He felt as if he had seen the world of Avatar.
All kinds of resplendent plants grew in this valley.
Many flying insects were flying around in the valley, and small beasts would occasionally pop their heads out of the flowers.
Ren Baqian saw a lantern flower slowly open and swallow a flying insect that was attracted to it.
Although this place was beautiful, it was full of danger for those flying insects.
The empress strolled in the forest with the flowers blooming beside her feet. Her eyes reflected the colorful lights, and her face revealed a look of love.
"This place shall be called the Valley of Resplendence!" The empress immediately decided on the name for this valley.
A lizard that was more than a meter long and had camouflage on its body was not far away from them. It shot out its long tongue and swept away the flying insects that were attracted by the light from the lantern flower. After sizing them up curiously, it fixed its eyes on other targets.
"If we build a house here and see this scenery every night, it must be extremely beautiful!" Ren Baqian exclaimed.
Even he was moved by the scenery in this valley.
Beauty always made people gasp in admiration, and no one could remain indifferent.
Sightseeing in the valley was like an adventure in a beautiful painting. There were lantern flowers that were one meter tall, and the bushes were decorated with small flowers that emitted white light. There were also trees with countless branches hanging down like willows.
If this scene was filmed, it would be a fascinating film.
They walked around until midnight before reluctantly turning back.
"If Your Majesty likes it, you can come again tomorrow," Ren Baqian said with a smile.
This valley was about four hours away from the Skullcap Fruit Forest. It was just that the entrance to the valley was narrow and covered by trees, so it had not been discovered.
"Alright!" The Water Empress nodded.
Hearing that they would come again tomorrow, Qing Yuan and Hong Luan's faces lit up with happiness.
After another day, the empress and Ren Baqian brought Qing Yuan, Hong Luan, and more than ten guards to that valley again.
However, they had only walked for an hour when they saw an unforgettable scene.
Countless green specks of light floated in the air like a layer of light gauze, covering the sky and changing the color of the distant sky.
"That's …" Ren Baqian carefully raised his head and looked at the green veil that was moving toward them with a puzzled look on his face.
Soon after, Ren Baqian realized something. He took out a pair of binoculars from his backpack and looked ahead. His facial expression immediately changed.
"Your Majesty, it's the jade-waisted slaves! There are at least a hundred thousand of them, and their target is us! "
Ren Baqian didn't believe that the jade-waisted slaves were just passing by.
Based on their direction, their target must be them.
Qing Yuan, Hong Luan, and the winged cavalry warriors' facial expressions changed drastically upon hearing Ren Baqian's words.
"Let's go back!" the empress said coldly, emitting a chill.
Everyone turned their mounts around and hurriedly rushed toward the kadsura fruit forest.
"Your Majesty, we can't handle so many jade-waisted slaves no matter what. Furthermore, they are faster than us! We can't outrun their pursuit! "Ren Baqian shouted at the empress as he felt the strong wind coming toward them.
"We just have to hold on until daytime!" the empress replied.
"They still have herdsmen and maybe even that expert like Liu Sheng. We have to find a place to hide and guard a passage in order to hold on until daytime!" Ren Baqian shouted.
"Your mount is fast. Go back and get them ready to evacuate," the empress said.
In fact, Qi Shui wasn't slow either, but the empress naturally wouldn't leave the others behind under such circumstances.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Ren Baqian knew that the situation was urgent and didn't dawdle. He shouted at the empress and rode the crow general back the way they came.
Not far in front of the kadsura fruit forest, a row of wooden houses had been built.
There were a few bonfires there. Other than the winged cavalry warriors who were on night watch, everyone else was sitting around the bonfires. Wooden cylinders were passed around in their hands, and everyone took a few puffs with an intoxicated look on their faces.
Scorpion tubes!
These aboriginals were really inhaling scorpions!
In addition to the aroma of roasting scorpions, the scorpion tubes also emitted a gas that stimulated the brain after the scorpion's venom was roasted. The more venomous these scorpions were, the better. Even the winged cavalry warriors would feel their bodies become light after taking a few puffs.
This was a very common form of entertainment for the aboriginals.
Ren Baqian didn't pay much attention to it after asking if it was addictive and wouldn't cause any problems. Sometimes, he would also take a few puffs.
At this moment, Ren Baqian rushed back and saw everyone engaging in this popular leisure activity. He let out a long whistle from afar.
Everyone shuddered and got up from the ground to look into the darkness.
"Everyone, get ready to evacuate immediately!" Ren Baqian shouted.
Everyone's expression changed drastically.
This was a group of 300 winged cavalry warriors with the empress in charge, yet they actually had to evacuate immediately? What kind of danger was this?
"Sir Ren, where's Her Majesty?" someone immediately shouted.
"Her Majesty is behind us and is rushing over. I came back to inform you first. Leave everything behind and bring the mounts over. Everyone, get ready and evacuate once Her Majesty returns! "
Following Ren Baqian's words, everyone became chaotic, picked up their weapons, and ran to bring their mounts.
"Who knows if there are any caves nearby? It's best if they can only accommodate one or two people and can accommodate everyone inside!" Ren Baqian added.
"Sir Ren, there are two caves! They were discovered by our brothers when they were looking for food! "someone immediately shouted.
"Location? Distance? "
"One is half an hour to the west, and the other is half an hour to the northeast. The space in the northeast is bigger and has a mountain spring, but the entrance is also wider."
"How wide?"
"Three people can enter and exit at a height of four meters!"
"It's the cave in the northeast. Lead the way later!"
"Bring all the boxes of insecticide!" Ren Baqian instructed everyone to get busy.
"Sir Ren, what's going on?" someone asked after getting ready.
"Those herdsmen are coming back with more than 100,000 jade-waisted slaves!" Ren Baqian said with an ugly expression.
Everyone's faces turned ugly when they heard this.
They could reluctantly cope with 10,000 jade-waisted slaves.
Coupled with Ren Baqian's insecticide, 20,000 jade-waisted slaves could barely resist.
However, they couldn't resist more than 100,000 jade-waisted slaves.
When their numbers reached a certain level, there would be a qualitative change. No matter what stood in their way, they would be swept away.
Just like the stomach worms, a single stomach worm could be trampled to death with one foot, but when countless stomach worms gathered together, even the most powerful fierce beast would flee upon hearing the sound of it.
The jade-waisted slaves were countless times more dangerous than the stomach worms.
"Sir Ren, you and Her Majesty will leave in a while. Your mounts are fast, and we will stop them!"
A winged cavalry warrior immediately shouted.
"That's right!"
Everyone immediately responded.
"Cut the crap!" Ren Baqian scolded.
He and Her Majesty could indeed escape, but how could the empress do such a thing?
If she could, she wouldn't be the empress.
After a while, the empress and the others rushed back.
"Your Majesty, there's a cave in the northeast about an hour's journey. It can accommodate everyone," Ren Baqian shouted.
"Your Majesty, we will stop them. You and Sir Ren go first!"
"I'm the empress!" the empress said coldly. "Everyone, listen to my orders! Set off in the northeast! "
The chaotic sound of hooves could be heard as the empress led 300 winged cavalry warriors toward the northeast like a torrent.
"If anything goes wrong, leave first and stay on Earth for seven days before coming back! These guys can't do anything to me! "The empress's words reached Ren Baqian's ears along the way.
Ren Baqian immediately laughed and raised his voice. "I will naturally advance and retreat with Your Majesty! Without Your Majesty by my side, this world will just be a boring one for me, and the future days will become my torture! "
The empress glanced at him and didn't say anything else.
