Chapter 780: Why a Rabbit is Called a Rabbit

“Your Majesty!”

“Your Majesty!” The winged cavalry crawled up from the floor to search for the empress. They saw the empress standing there motionlessly as the gale-force wind swept back her dress and hair.

The heat waves continued to sweep into the cave.

The area outside the cave resembled a large furnace.

Seeing that the empress was fine, the winged cavalry looked around and saw the jade-waisted slaves that were swept in by the heat waves.

These lightweight insects were smashed against the wall by the shock waves. They seemed to be badly hurt and were struggling to fly.

Hands were raised and sabers were wielded.

The sabers flashed and glittered in the cave.

The winged cavalry warriors in the cave rushed out to find out what was happening.

The ground and the mountains had been shaking just now, and they thought that it was an earthquake.

“Your Majesty!” Ren Baqian walked to the side of the empress.

“All of you wait here. I want to take a look,” the empress said.

The empress felt that if even she was unable to survive this explosion, then those herdsmen would be much worse off.

Although the herdsmen were very fast and full of tricks, their bodies were very weak. It was impossible for them to escape.

However, there were still some foreigners and jade-waisted slaves outside, and their statuses were unknown.

The shock waves had blasted some of the foreigners against the mountainside and left their animal hides in tatters.

Due to their strong physiques and also because they were far away from the explosion, they weren’t badly hurt, though they looked ragged.

Even the jade-waisted slaves that were slammed against the mountainside started to fly after wavering for a while.

The seven foreigners came down from the mountainside with their tattered hides hanging on them. This didn’t matter to them as they instead looked at the scene in the distance. They were shocked and confused.

By the time they regained their senses, they were already pinned against the mountainside by the shock waves coming from the front.

They saw the huge fireball and mushroom cloud with their own eyes.

There was also the heat that seemed to be baking them like a giant furnace.

A giant crater had appeared with the rim surrounded by a flowing dark red liquid that resembled lava from a volcano.

The trees in the distance had toppled, and the whole area was ablaze with fire.

What had happened?

Was this a natural disaster?

Intuition told them it wasn’t.

A natural disaster didn’t happen this way.

If it wasn’t a natural disaster, then what was it?

What about the butterflies with the green radiance that were lying all over the ground?

Plus, where were they?

After recovering from the shock, these several foreigners looked around.

“Thunder Blaze!” The woman with four pairs of hands saw the man with two horns and immediately displayed a hateful look.

“Ba Pi race?” The horned man obviously couldn’t remember her name, but he knew her species because of her four pairs of hands.

“You will pay with your life today for killing Kermin.” The lady with four pairs of hands raised her arms like spears and attacked.

The rest of them silently kept their distance.

In this group, the enmity wasn’t limited to just these two.

However, the others felt that the situation was very strange and were wondering how they ended up here. Where was this place? What had happened in front of them? Without clarifying these doubts, they didn’t want to battle to the death here.

The empress saw this scene unfold outside the cave and smirked.

Had they awakened?

She hadn’t got even with them for killing so many winged cavalry warriors!

As for the surrounding jade-waisted slaves, they were struggling to take to the air and fluttered around aimlessly without control. A few that were near the foreigners headed directly for them.

The previous allies were killing each other after regaining their autonomy from the herdsmen.

The empress ignored them and looked at the distant crater that had a circumference of a few hundreds of meters. Further away, a layer of the ground was missing.

A portion of the surrounding forest was directly carbonized while another portion was in flames. The night sky was dyed red, and it looked like the end of the world.

The power of the explosion shocked her.

She heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind her. They were from Ren Baqian.

Although Ren Baqian’s physique was similar to the winged cavalry, his footsteps were lighter and more agile.

“You brought three nuclear bombs?” the empress asked as she directed her gaze at the few people below.

Ren Baqian followed her gaze and saw a few foreigners knocking jade-waisted slaves to ground after being attacked by them.

“Internal conflicts? Have they regained their senses?” Ren Baqian asked casually.

“Give me a nuclear bomb! I will throw and you will detonate it,” the empress said again.

Whether they were conscious or not, the debt still needed to be repaid! The empress had never let her enemies go, even if they were controlled by others.

Ren Baqian was aghast.

“Your Majesty, you should know the power of this bomb. If it’s detonated at such close range, the cave will surely collapse, causing everyone to perish together.”

The empress frowned. She wasn’t afraid of these seven foreigners, but it wouldn’t be easy to subdue them.

The foreigners had noticed the two of them and checked the surroundings before saying, “Who are you? Eh? Abandoned people?”

The empress was annoyed.

She had heard the words “abandoned people” again.

These words made her feel uncomfortable.

Ren Baqian took a step forward, “What do you mean by abandoned people?”

A few of them looked at him and then at the empress again.

This fellow was too weak and puny, but that lady was terrifying and looked intimidating.

Ren Baqian saw their contempt for him and felt like throwing the smallest nuclear bomb to show them what the iron fist of socialism looked like.

However, the aftermath would be too drastic.

“Where is this place and why are we here? Why are you here?” The foreigners were in a confused state after being dazed.

“Answer our question first. What is the meaning of abandoned people? If we are satisfied, we will tell you what you want to know,” Ren Baqian added.

“Abandoned people are abandoned people! You are humans and also abandoned people!” said a foreigner with cat-like whiskers and a round nose. It looked like Doreaemon

“Why do you call us abandoned people?” Ren Baqian couldn’t figure out the reason.

“Why?” They were put in a confused state again.

“She is a serpent, I’m a heaven seeker, you are humans and also abandoned people. Why do you ask why?” that foreigner inquired.

Ren Baqian observed them and felt that it wasn’t that they didn’t know how to answer, but was because they didn’t know why humans were called abandoned people.

It was like asking why a rabbit was called a rabbit.

He himself didn’t know why a rabbit was called a rabbit.

Suddenly, everybody quieted down.

Ren Baqian was thinking about why a rabbit was called a rabbit, the empress was thinking about how to kill these foreigners, and the foreigners were thinking about why abandoned people were called abandoned people. At the side, there were two rascals who would fight after they had recovered!

From behind, the clamor of chaotic footsteps sounded. Many winged cavalry warriors saw the empress and Ren Baqian standing at the cave entrance and talking to some unknown people outside. Seeing no danger, they came out one after another.

The winged cavalry in front saw the doomsday scene in the distance, stopped to look at it, and fell into shock.

While the people in front stopped, the people behind kept on moving forward.

It was like watching dumplings fall out of the cave.

“Who pushed me?” Ren Baqian shouted as he was pushed down.
