“It’s already been a day.”
“One-tenth of their soldiers have already lost their fighting capabilities.”
“Unexpectedly, they didn’t try to escape, but chose to stand guard here to their deaths.”
“They have no food and no water. The longer they stay there, the faster they will crumble. I don’t think they can even last seven days. I’ll give them five days at most.”
“Don’t let their leader escape!”
One kiloter from the cave, there was a location where more than 20 figures stood with at least ten ters of space between themselves.
One of them would occasionally say sothing without caring whether the others would reply.
To them, speaking was rely for expressing their own ideas. They had no willingness to communicate with others.
Several figures raised their arms and played desolate music from the animal bones in their hands, commanding the jade-waisted slaves to attack.
Hundreds of thousands of demonic butterflies surrounded the entire mountain, and from the outside, the whole mountain was green. It was like a treasure mountain that was glowing with green light.
One would only discover the truth about the horror of this mountain when they got closer.
The entire mountain was covered with a layer of butterflies that had the head of a human or a beast, but the wings and body of a butterfly.
So of them were blocking the entrance of the cave with more than a dozen of them constantly trying to break into the cave every second.
There were seven different figures standing behind these jade-waisted slaves. From ti to ti, they would rush into the cave and withdraw after striking a blow.
Among the seven figures, one of them had a snake tail. This was Liu Sheng, whom Ren Baqian had seen before.
There was also a strong man with two horns, a woman with four arms, and another ordinary looking woman with a white tail…
Just after the woman with four arms rushed into the cave, a loud bang sounded as she imdiately flew out. A red figure sent all the butterflies in the surroundings flying away and rushed out of the cave, throwing punch after punch at that four-ard woman.
The woman with the white tail suddenly appeared behind the empress with her body spinning like a top. In the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with the traces from her finger. These traces shot through the air at the empress like spears.
“Scram!”
Faced with this attack, the empress had to stop chasing. She turned around and unleashed punches to counter that woman’s attack.
Liu Sheng’s fists also ca smashing over.
Then ca the two-horned man with his white bone staff.
In an instant, the empress was surrounded by three individuals from foreign races.
The other four stood around, waiting for the opportunity to strike.
The empress’s face was covered in purple veins. Her arms retracted back and struck forward like a cannon. The air in front of her fists rippled as if it had turned into a fluid, followed by a blast.
Boom!
Liu Sheng suffered a direct hit and was sent flying a few hundred ters away before landing and smashing a crater in the ground.
The empress took a wind piercing strike from the horned man’s staff before retreating back into the cave.
“Your Majesty!” After seeing that she flew back and slamd into the wall, Ren Baqian quickly stepped forward with a gold and silver spear suddenly appearing in his hand. After a few cold blasts in the air, the jade-waisted slaves that were charging toward her imdiately got reduced to ashes.
Seeing this, the winged cavalry warriors at the side started to praise loudly.
Ren Baqian’s strikes were quick and accurate, and he managed to kill about five jade-waisted slaves in one clash.
“I’m fine!” The empress fell from the cave wall and spat blood on the ground.
That staff was pretty powerful, especially since she took the hit to her back. Everyone was appalled to see that she spat out blood.
“I have located them. Just a kiloter away,” the empress said.
“Are you alright, Your Majesty?” Ren Baqian was pretty worried.
“I simply didn’t want to get involved with them and deliberately took that hit!” The empress apparently didn’t care about throwing up blood.
Both of them entered the cave before Ren Baqian opened up a few boxes. He hesitated for a while before taking out a cylinder from the middle box and placing it on the ground. “Your Majesty, this warhead has a killing range of 1,100 ters. If used against the herdsn, it’ll have to land within 300 ters or less. Their speed is too fast, so if we exceed 300 ters, I’m afraid they will be able to escape.”
“And then?” The empress looked at him. “Just throw it at them?”
“Just throw it and then I’ll detonate the warhead. It’s presumably enough to deal with those herdsn. Without them, no matter how many jade-waisted slaves there are, they won’t pose a danger. It may also be possible to get rid of the control that the herdsn have over the foreign races. The only problem is that they probably won’t allow you to do it so easily!” Ren Baqian frowned, looking a little worried.
Although the empress couldn’t see the situation outside, she flew back after just over ten seconds and spat out blood. It could be inferred from this that the enemies weren’t easy to deal with.
“No problem. They can’t stop .” The empress was always full of confidence. It was as if nothing in this world could stop her.
“Alternatively, we can use the smallest warhead first to open up a path and blast all the butterflies and foreigners outside. However, if we do that, the herdsn will put up their guards,” Ren Baqian added.
“No need! Just hand it to . What can a few jumping clowns do to ?” The empress raised her eyebrows. Even though she was wearing a bright red dress, she looked extrely heroic.
A fondness grew in Ren Baqian’s heart when he saw her in this state.
“I just have to throw this within 300 ters of their location?” The empress lifted the cylinder. It was about the height of half a person, was as thick as a bucket, and there were two handles at the side.
“Be careful, Your Majesty!”
…
“Their leader actually charged out and took a hit from the thunder blaze.”
“She’s very strong—a strike from the thunder blaze will probably only inflict a slight injury to her.”
“They are starting to get anxious.”
“Humans will always be humans. Their endurance is weaker than I thought.”
“Humans are too affected by water and food. Being at a dead end, they can’t last for long.”
“They will either die inside or end up the sa outside.”
Those 20 figures still stood in the distance. After witnessing the previous clash, they exchanged a few rare words.
“They are the forsaken and have an inferiority that they can’t get rid of. Their only advantage is that they reproduce much faster than us. However, this is also beneficial for us since we have an abundance of food due to this.”
While the figures were conversing, the empress dashed out of the cave again.
“Out again? Is she courting death?”
As that person spoke, a silver object flew out from the cave. It screeched through the air and landed where the herdsn were.
“Are they trying to throw things over to hurt us? Unfortunately, I have already forgotten how to laugh,” one of them said.
Over 20 herdsn stood still and watched as that silver object grazed past one of them.
“Maybe it’s poisonous!” one of them speculated faintly.
“There’s no sll! If it’s poisonous, it can’t possibly escape my nose.”
The empress saw that the silver object landed several ters behind the herdsn and that they simply stood there without moving. A smile appeared on her face.
She then took a few hundred hits from Liu Sheng and flew back into the cave.
“I did it!” the empress said to Ren Baqian.
“Be careful!” He pressed the detonation button before the winged cavalry warriors even understood what he was trying to say.
Before the roar of the explosion, another sun rose up in the distance.
A trendous amount of heat and light struck the foreigners and the butterflies that surrounded the entire mountain.
Then, there was a loud bang. It sounded as if the sky had crumbled, making everyone feel frightened.
The huge shockwave caused the whole mountain to shake, and they wondered if it was going to collapse.
The winged cavalry warriors in the cave didn’t know what was happening. They imdiately got pushed against the cave wall along with the jade-wasted slaves as the shockwave poured in.
