The canyon is huge, covering tens of thousands of meters in radius.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is only one entrance. The cliff is covered with dense caves. These bats hide in the caves. At night, they all come out to cover the sky.
With the help of the Ghost Eye Technique, it was clear that Chen Ruoyan was taken into a huge cave, which was bottomless. The maximum distance of the Ghost Eye Technique was up to three hundred meters, which was already beyond this range.
"We have to find a way to get in. The fact that so many people are missing in the Xiliang Mountains must have a lot to do with the bat beast here. As long as we solve the mystery here, we can find those missing people." Liu Wuxie said secretly.
These bat beasts don't kill people, they only catch people alive. Do these bat beasts want to catch people alive and eat them?
The bat beast mainly sucks blood and rarely eats meat. This is what puzzles Liu Wuxie the most.
The moment he caught Chen Ruoyan, Liu Wuxie heard a note similar to a flute. There should be a certain species that controlled these bat beasts and was responsible for catching living people and transporting them here.
From what happened just now, Liu Wuxie had already deduced that the real bat beast killed people and had long since sucked up the human blood and discarded the bodies. This was the most unusual thing.
The biggest problem trapped in front of Liu Wuxie is how to sneak in. There are overwhelming bat beasts patrolling. As long as he shows up, he will immediately be attacked by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of bat beasts.
Even though he has great abilities, facing so many bat beasts, he can only run away.
Time passed by minute by second, and if Chen Ruoyan stayed for one more minute, she would be in more danger, and Liu Wuxie would be spinning around anxiously.
Although she didn't have much to do with Chen Ruoyan, after all, she came to the Xiliang Mountains to find herself. If she really died there, she would feel a little guilty.
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed, and it was almost midnight. Liu Wuxie still didn't think of any good solution. These bat beasts have the ability of night vision and will be discovered if they get close.
"Strange, the number of bat beasts is decreasing!"
Liu Wuxie was lying on a big tree, paying close attention to every move in the canyon, and found that the number of bat beasts was constantly decreasing, and they were flying down from the tree.
"I understand, because it's getting daylight!"
Batmon likes to go out at night. After midnight, Batmon will return to its cave to rest.
During the day, the bat beast will become blind and unable to fly. Thousands of bats will fly back from outside the canyon, flying past Liu Wuxie's hiding place and returning to the cave.
Most of the nearby monsters have been eaten by them, and all the living monsters have long since disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, the sky above the canyon disappeared completely.
"Whoosh!"
Without any hesitation, Liu Wuxie's body disappeared and went straight to the largest cave, where Chen Ruoyan was brought in.
Hide your own aura to avoid alerting the bat beast inside.
The cave was very large, like the mouth of a giant beast. Liu Wuxie pressed against the wall and advanced step by step. His consciousness was like mercury, constantly extending.
There was a foul stench on the ground and bat guano was everywhere.
After walking for about ten minutes, a skeleton appeared on the ground. The body had long since rotted, and the blood had been sucked dry by the bat beast.
"This is the Imperial Academy costume!"
He knelt down and judged from his clothes that he was a student named Xuan of the Imperial College who died in the Batcave.
Draw out the evil blade and be ready for battle at any time to avoid falling here.
The skill expert is bold, and there is no danger wherever his spiritual consciousness is covered. The speed suddenly increases to prevent Chen Ruoyan from having any shortcomings.
The cave is very dark, and with the help of the Ghost Eye Technique, you can still see a rough outline. If it were an ordinary person coming here, he would definitely get lost.
"Zhizhi..."
A bat suddenly flew in front of Liu Wuxie, but did not find Liu Wuxie and went deep into the cave.
"Follow me!"
Without any hesitation, Liu Wuxie used his seven-star pace and followed up quietly.
With one foot deep and one foot shallow, Liu Wuxie followed behind him. The piles of bat excrement on the ground gave off a disgusting smell. Liu Wuxie almost covered his nose and moved forward.
After passing through a narrow hole, the view suddenly opens up, as if entering an underground world.
He suddenly stopped, and the scene in front of him shocked him.
"this……"
The whole person was stunned. Thousands of huge bat beasts were hanging above the cliff cave, and there were many cages below. Dozens of humans and monster beasts were imprisoned in them. All of them looked sluggish.
Their bodies were all under control, and the bat beast used toxins to seal their cultivation, allowing them to be slaughtered like ordinary people.
"Let me out, do you know who I am? As long as I give the order, I will immediately lead the army to conquer this place."
A familiar voice reached Liu Wuxie's ears, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After Chen Ruoyan was brought here, the bat beast locked her up and threw her in a dirty cage like everyone else.
He did not act rashly so as not to alarm these bat beasts.
One thing Liu Wuxie was sure of was that these bat beasts were deliberately raised by someone. As long as they found the person who raised them and killed them, these bat beasts would naturally be self-defeating if they lost their master.
When fighting the bat beast, Liu Wuxie clearly saw a black shadow, which looked like a human race. Because the distance was too far, it was not very clear.
"Stop barking, little one. Our ancestors like to eat little beauties with fine skin and tender meat."
A skinny old man walked in from another cave entrance. His body was haggard and without any flesh. A gust of wind could blow him over when he walked.
With his appearance, the humans imprisoned in the cage trembled unconsciously and huddled in a corner of the cage, fearing that it would be their turn next.
Even those usually ferocious monsters were lying on the ground and making low noises. This was because they were afraid.
What is it that makes them so afraid?
"If you can, let me out, and I will wipe out your bat cave!"
Chen Ruoyan's voice echoed throughout the cave, and the haggard old man ignored her and stepped forward to open the cell door so that she could come out.
The body was poisoned. Chen Ruoyan just raised his hands to prepare for a fight when a numbness hit him. He stood there helplessly, gritting his teeth with hatred.
Those held in other cages breathed a sigh of relief. This time it was not their turn and they could live one more day.
"Should you go by yourself, or should I let them take you away?"
The withered old man pointed to the road ahead and let Chen Ruoyan choose whether to walk by herself or let the bat beast support her to fly.
"No, I'll go by myself!"
Thinking of being carried away by those disgusting things, I felt sick for a while, and strode towards the entrance of the cave, wanting to see who had raised so many bat beasts here.
The withered old man waved his hand, and the bat beast that had been taken down returned to its original place and continued to guard the place to prevent anyone from escaping.
Liu Wuxie gave up rescuing these people for the time being, so as not to alert the owner of this place, and followed them quietly.
The most important thing is for Liu Wuxie to figure out what is going on. The haggard old man is a human being, so Liu Wuxie can relax. As long as he is a human being, he can find a solution.
Hanging far behind, the road is relatively clean and there are no bat beasts crossing it.
The withered old man was extremely powerful and was actually at the third level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm. So what kind of powerful person was his master?
After walking around for about a cup of tea, the view in front suddenly changed, and an underground palace appeared, magnificently decorated.
The haggard old man walked to the door, bent down and bowed: "Master, she brought it."
After saying that, he stepped aside. The interior of the palace was beautifully decorated, with many precious luminous pearls inlaid on the walls, illuminating the entire cave as brightly as day.
In the central area of the palace, there was a huge stone couch, covered with soft quilts, and a black figure could be vaguely seen sitting up.
"come in!"
The voice was sharp, not male but not male, not female but not female. It sounded very harsh, and the hoarse voice seemed to come from the throat of a drake, which made people's hair stand on end.
"go in!"
The haggard old man pushed, and Chen Ruoyan walked in. His body was controlled, and he was not afraid of her escaping. After speaking, the old man turned around and left.
When the old man passed by Liu Wuxie, he suddenly paused and sniffed around.
Liu Wuxie hid in the darkness, holding his breath like a piece of dead wood. Even if the withered old man stood beside him, he would not be able to notice it.
Nothing was found, so the old man strode away to do other things. There was no sign of life in a radius of more than 100 meters.
The dark figure in the palace should be the owner of this place.
"You are so brave, but you know who I am!"
After Chen Ruoyan walked in, she did not approach the stone couch in the middle. She stood far away, suppressing the fear in her heart and raising her chest, not to lose in momentum.
"I know, you already introduced me as the third princess of the Yan Dynasty when you came in."
Unable to see clearly the face sitting on the stone couch through the curtain, Liu Wuxie quietly approached without stepping into the palace, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.
"Since you know, why don't you let me go obediently."
Chen Ruoyan became bolder. As the third princess of the Yan Dynasty, she was respected wherever she went. Even Qian Kun, who had a notorious reputation, told her to leave quickly when she heard about Chen Ruoyan's identity, not wanting to be an enemy.
"Let you go?" The black figure sitting on the stone couch sneered: "No one who enters the Bat Cave can get out alive. You have royal blood, so you must taste delicious, chatter..."
Waves of sharp laughter came from the stone couch, and Liu Wuxie's scalp felt numb.
He actually wants to eat a living person. Even if he is an Immortal Emperor, he has never done such a thing.
I have seen many demons feeding on humans.
"You...you actually want to eat me."
Chen Ruoyan panicked and retreated outside step by step, planning to escape.
No matter how bold she was, she still shivered with fear when she heard about cannibalism. After all, she was just a prostitute and not very old. Even Liu Wuxie got goosebumps when she heard about it, let alone a pampered princess.
"Is there any problem? These people who come in are my food."
After the black shadow finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and grabbed his hand. Chen Ruoyan's body was out of control and he flew up into the air and landed on the stone couch.
"ah!"
The moment he saw the black shadow's face, he screamed in fright and fainted.
With the help of the light, Liu Wuxie saw a pair of sharp fangs emerging from the shadow's face, slowly approaching Chen Ruoyan's neck.
