Qingyao heard footsteps and immediately flew to a nearby tree, leaned over and quietly looked at the person coming.
Seeing Qingyao's inquisitive look, Xiaoyi couldn't help but wonder, "Why does she look like a thief?" Qingyao didn't care what Xiaoyi was thinking, but quietly peeked at the person who came. The person who came was the emperor, also known as the emperor.
As the figure gradually approached, Qingyao could see clearly that he was such a handsome guy. Although 31 was considered middle-aged in this era, it was the most attractive age for men in modern times. As the saying goes, men are in their prime at 41, and he was only 31 years old.
According to Qingyao's visual estimation, the Emperor was about 1.9 meters tall, with a standard inverted triangle figure. He walked with a standard square step, showing the emperor's majesty and his awe-inspiring presence without even getting angry.
As the Emperor and his companions approached, the Emperor under the tree seemed to sense that someone was looking at him. He looked in the direction of Qingyao but saw no one.
But the Emperor always felt that someone was watching them, so he gave his men a look, and they immediately dispersed and looked around to see if there was anyone there.
Xiaoyi was so frightened by the scene that he couldn't move. He even forgot that he was actually a system and no one could see him except Qingyao.
When the Emperor's gaze shot towards her, Qingyao instantly became invisible. Seeing that the Emperor couldn't see her, but his gaze was fixed on her, Qingyao couldn't help but sigh, "What a great Emperor! His intuition is so accurate!"
Then, the Emperor watched his men come back and report that there was no one around, and then he suppressed his suspicions. However, he still gave his men a look and a wink, and they immediately understood.
They continued to move forward. At the beginning, as soon as the Emperor entered the edge of the Devil's Forest, he encountered some poisonous insects and ants. However, the Emperor and others were well prepared. They sprinkled some poison, and the surrounding poisonous insects and ants died instantly.
In this way, they killed all kinds of plants they encountered on the road, as well as mutated plants and some huge beasts.
Finally, after a bloody battle with the wolves, they arrived at their destination.
The emperor didn't want anyone to know what kind of medicine he was collecting, so he asked his men to collect other herbs he mentioned, while he walked towards the cold pond alone.
That's right, the herb he wanted to collect was the thousand-year-old ice flower under the cold pond. This flower could cure the thousand-year-old ice poison. The Emperor knew that in the Devil's Forest, if one wanted to collect any unique and priceless herb, there would definitely be wild beasts accompanying them.
The emperor looked cautiously at the cold pond in front of him. It was calm, but based on the emperor's intuition, there must be something under the cold pond. So, the emperor decided to test it. He first picked up a dead wolf from the wolf pack he had just killed and threw it into the cold pond. Sure enough, the cold pond instantly emitted a gurgling sound, and soon, the dead wolves disappeared.
The emperor thought that if he wanted to go down to the cold pond, he had to lure out the things under the cold pond first, so he took out the beast-luring powder, which was prepared by someone before the emperor came.
The Emperor sprinkled the beast-attracting powder into the cold pond and waited quietly. After a while, the water began to churn violently, and a huge figure gradually emerged. The Emperor gripped his sword tightly, ready for battle.
It was a gigantic crocodile, its scales gleaming coldly under the light of the cold pond. The crocodile opened its bloody mouth and roared, shaking the surrounding trees.
The Emperor's heart tightened, but he remained calm.
The Emperor didn’t know what the huge animal in front of him was, but Qingyao knew.
Qingyao was hiding not far from the Emperor, staring at the massive creature before her. "It's a crocodile! How could it be so big?" Crocodiles in the modern world weren't this big, but this ancient crocodile was quite large. It must have eaten a lot of natural treasures, otherwise it wouldn't have grown so huge.
The crocodile's skin is extremely hard and difficult to break even with a sword. It depends on how the emperor deals with it.
Then, Qingyao found a stone beside the cold pond and sat down. The crocodile could not see Qingyao, but still felt danger. It thought it was the majesty emanating from the emperor, so it rushed forward in one step.
When the emperor saw the monster rushing towards him, he jumped directly onto the crocodile and stabbed it with his sword. Once, twice, and three times, the sword could not penetrate the crocodile's body. The emperor was stunned and his face became more serious.
Then, although the crocodile was not stabbed by the sword, it felt pain and rolled over, and the emperor immediately took a few steps back.
The emperor tightly grasped the sword in his hand and stared at the crocodile in front of him with sharp eyes. The crocodile looked at the emperor and roared. The emperor's ears and head hurt a little because of the roar.
Before the emperor could react, his men heard the roar and all flew over and surrounded him.
Everyone felt nervous when they saw such a huge monster. It was indeed the Devil's Forest. The animals here were really strange and not easy to kill.
The Emperor gave a look and ordered all his men to disperse and surround the crocodile, ready to find an opportunity to assassinate the monster.
His men immediately dispersed quickly, holding arrows around the crocodile and ready for battle. With just a look from the Emperor, they all rushed towards the crocodile together.
As expected, the sword did not penetrate the crocodile's body, but instead angered it. The crocodile swung its tail back and forth, blowing many people away.
Seeing this, the Emperor frowned. It seemed that it would be very difficult to get the thousand-year-old ice flower under the cold pond.
Then, the Emperor and others changed their tactics again and used poisons. Before coming, the Emperor prepared not only the beast-attracting powder, but also antidotes and poisons for various poisonous insects and poisons.
The Emperor and his men took advantage of the wind to scatter a handful of powder each. The wind blew towards the crocodile. The crocodile only paused for a moment and did not fall down. Instead, it roared and fled everywhere. Its tail knocked down many surrounding trees and the Emperor's men.
