Xuejun can only classify this blood crocodile as a mutated blood crocodile now.
The blood horse's perception continued to explore downward after passing over the mutated blood crocodile lying on a raised boulder.
When the sense of exploration reached 500 meters underwater, Xue Jun suddenly emerged from the bottom of the water. Xue Jun learned through his sense that there was another mysterious cave under the water.
After perceptual exploration, Xuejun can clearly see that the mysterious cave at the other end is much larger than the hidden cave he is in now, but how much bigger it is, because of the existence of the limit of perception, Xuejun Nor can we get an accurate answer.
Xuejun withdrew his sense of exploration and then entered a state of thinking.
"It feels like there must be some secrets in the mysterious cave at the other end. My perception reached its limit after only exploring a small part of it. This was mainly because of the barrier of this water area, which depleted my perception a lot, otherwise I would still be able to sense it. Explore more about that mysterious cave."
"Forget it! With that mutant blood crocodile guarding here, I guess it will be difficult for me to reach that mysterious cave. I don't know if my function of masking life breath will work on it. After all, it seems that its combat power level It shouldn’t be too low, so don’t do anything that threatens your life.”
With this plan in mind, Xuejun decided to pick the blood fruits on the shore first, so that he could go back and make wine for the village chief's grandfather.
Immediately, Xuejun began to climb the blood fruit tree behind him, quickly picked the blood fruits, and put them into the storage space.
While the blood horse was happily picking blood fruits, something strange happened at the location of the blood bat in the cave.
I saw the blood bats that were sleeping upside down at the top of the cave. Suddenly, as if something touched their nerves, they all woke up. One after another, they emitted sound waves from their mouths, seemingly communicating. generally.
After making noise for a short period of time, the largest blood bat among them, with a body length of 60 centimeters, sent out a sound wave at the other blood bats, which made them all tremble. Then, the cave became quiet again.
Those blood bats that were smaller than it all tilted their heads and looked at it with eyes with very low visible vision, as if waiting for their leader to issue instructions.
Sound waves one after another emitted from the mouth of the leader blood bat and were transmitted to other blood bats.
After it sent out the last sound wave, the blood bats finally spread their wings, detached from the top one by one, and flew quickly towards the blood fruit tree.
A blood bat with its wings spread out can reach nearly two meters in length plus its body, while the leading blood bat leader is actually nearly three meters long.
Moreover, each blood bat does not make a loud sound when flying in the air, but its speed is surprisingly fast.
Xuejun, who was still picking blood fruits at this time, suddenly became confused and secretly screamed something bad.
Then he immediately jumped down from the blood fruit tree, hid in a crevice between boulders near the water, and turned on the masking life breath function to cover his own breath, and then began to use perception to observe the movements of the blood bat.
Because just now, the sense that the Blood Horse used to warn the blood bats was triggered. Although the Blood Horse himself didn't know why the blood bats flew here collectively, he still decided to leave the blood fruit tree and hide first. reaction to deal with the situation at this time.
Not long after the blood horse had just hid, a large number of blood bats were seen flying to the sky near the water, circling back and forth above the blood fruit trees.
"They seem to be looking for something. Are they looking for me? Have I been discovered? This is impossible. I have left their territory. Could it be that I have encountered some mechanism that can let them know? "
While Xuejun was observing the group of blood bats, he was thinking over and over again about the reasons for this situation.
"If you observe their actions more, you might be able to find some clues!" Xiaoying reminded.
After hearing this, Xuejun immediately followed Xiaoying's reminder.
During the observation of Blood Horse's perception, the largest blood bat was carefully inspecting the blood fruit tree he had just picked, and even occasionally sniffed the tree where Blood Horse had climbed. .
After a while, it emitted a sound wave that resounded over the water, and the blood bats that were still hovering in other blood fruit trees flew towards the blood fruit tree where it was located.
"As expected, it must have discovered my traces, but how it discovered it must have something to do with these blood fruit trees!" Xue Jun came to the above conclusion after observing a series of actions of the blood bat leader.
"I still hope they don't find me, otherwise..." Xuejun turned his head and looked at the water surface five meters away behind him, and then smiled bitterly.
But the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Although the blood bat group could not detect the breath of life emitted by the blood horse, they still locked onto the boulder where the blood horse was hiding through the scent of the blood horse on the blood fruit tree, and swooped towards the boulder collectively.
Because the distance between the two was too close, the time left for Xuejun to react was only a few breaths.
But Xuejun was not an indecisive person. Seeing that the situation was not going well, he immediately took out his energy gun, and at the same time opened his barrier-breaking pupils, shooting at the blood bats in the air while running towards the water.
The Blood Bat's attention was instantly attracted by the sudden appearance of the Blood Horse, and it quickly dived and pursued him, preparing to attack it with sound waves, but was caught off guard by the energy bombs that came from it.
The power of the energy gun is fully revealed here.
First of all, the energy gun can be fired continuously. As long as you hold down the trigger with your finger, you can reach the ejection rate of twenty rounds per breath. Although the time is short and the ejection is fast, with the slowdown effect of the barrier-breaking pupil, The accuracy is still guaranteed.
Secondly, the blood bat swarm is too dense, and almost all of them are within the precise range of one hundred meters. Therefore, after the blood bat passes through the barrier-breaking pupil and senses the lock, it has almost reached the level of energy that the gun will not miss, even if it has some energy. The bullet only hits the blood bat's membrane wings, which can also cause instability in its flight, causing it to lose balance and hit other blood bats.
Finally, what needs to be mentioned is the powerful penetrating power of the energy gun. Because the blood bat is only a creature with the first level of combat power, and its body's defense is not strong, so each energy bullet can at least penetrate If the bodies of two to three blood bats were just membrane wings, even more would be penetrated.
The final result was that in just a few breaths when Xuejun ran to the shore and prepared to enter the water, the sky behind Xuejun was already filled with blood rain, and one after another blood bats made piercing sounds from their mouths. They screamed and fell to the ground unwillingly. Some blood bats with minor injuries or damaged membrane wings were also slowly landing towards the ground.
The sudden change of situation almost shocked the blood bat group, and they all stopped their dive in pursuit of the blood bats and urgently raised their altitude in the air.
But there will always be those who are not frightened. This is the case with the blood bat leader at this time. It has not given up its lock on the blood horse because of the death of many blood bats. Such a sudden change can only make it angrier. .
A sound wave suddenly emitted from its mouth and attacked the locked blood horse.
Some of the blood bats wherever the sound wave passed were knocked unconscious.
When the sound wave hit Xuejun, Xuejun's right foot had already stepped towards the water.
However, a stinging and dizzy feeling suddenly spread in Xuejun's brain, causing Xuejun's body to fall towards the water with inertia as he stepped out with his right foot.
"My head hurts so much!"
The biting chill in the water instantly made Xue Jun wake up a little, and then he immediately stabilized his body and swam towards the other side of the water bank.
Fortunately, the blood horse has activated the spiritual sea. Even if it faces the blood bat leader's sonic attack, he can directly resist it, but there will still be a brief dizziness.
If Xuejun did not activate the spiritual sea and was attacked by this attack, it would be certain that even if Xuejun did not die immediately, his brain would be severely damaged.
As the blood horse swam, he continued to observe the movements of the blood bat with his senses.
But he tragically discovered that the leader of the Blood Bats did not give up on him just because he entered the water.
Because at this time, the leader of the blood bats was greeting the remaining blood bats and chasing the blood horses close to the water.
"It's so haunting!"
Xuejun, who was swimming fast in the water, felt very bitter inside.
"No matter how fast I swim, I can't fly faster than they can. It seems I can only dive first!"
Xue Jun took heart and made such a decision.
Then, Xuejun put his head out of the water, took a deep breath, turned around and swam towards the depths of the water.
When the blood bats saw the blood horse emerging, they were originally preparing to speed up the dive and attack with sound waves, but suddenly lost their target. Therefore, they could only hover above the water surface where the blood horse dived, waiting for the next instruction from the leader of the blood bats. .
After the leader of the blood bats hovered here for a while and gradually lost his lock on the blood horse, he could only send out a few sound waves unwillingly, calling the other blood bats to return to the blood fruit tree on the shore to eat and replenish what they had just lost. physical strength, and take care of the lightly injured blood bat companions.
It turns out that Xuejun felt that the reason why there were fewer blood fruits on some blood fruit trees than on other blood fruit trees was because these blood bats had eaten them as food.
Here, we must first talk about the eating habits of blood bats.
The main food of blood bats is still the blood of various creatures, but when they can't find blood as food, blood fruits become their second choice.
Because the energy contained in the blood fruit has blood components, this basically meets the blood bat's demand for blood. Moreover, the energy contained in a blood fruit can effectively maintain a blood bat. There is no need to eat again within a few days, so the blood fruit trees here have become the natural granary for this group of blood bats.
Moreover, Blood Bat also has a special ability that Blood Jun doesn't know about.
That is, they can leave blood bat marks on fixed objects.
