Chapter 87, Bat of Hell
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of charming female laughter in the distance. Everyone was on guard, but the sound of laughter sounded far and near, seeming to come from all directions, making people feel dizzy.
Shen Feiyun said in a deep voice: "Everyone, be careful. This laughter is not dangerous. Don't pay too much attention to it. Beware of the murderous intention hidden by the laughter."
After listening to Shen Feiyun's words, everyone stopped paying attention to the laughter itself. Sure enough, there was another slight rustling sound covered by the sharp and harsh laughter, coming quickly towards this side.
"Be careful underground!"
As Shen Feiyun shouted loudly, a dozen black shadows suddenly emerged from the ground and rushed toward everyone.
Qingshi could see clearly that what was rushing towards him was a huge bat-like spiritual beast. Qingshi recognized that this was a rare spiritual beast that could be cultivated and upgraded - the hell bat. The spiritual beast identification course offered by the martial arts academy was a focus. introduce.
Just like there are very few humans who can absorb spiritual energy and practice to become monks, there are also very few types of spiritual beasts that can be cultivated and upgraded, and this hell bat is one of them.
The hell bat is usually born as a third-level spiritual beast, but it can absorb and store spiritual energy into its own energy, thereby cultivating and evolving itself.
The body of the hell bat that is now rushing toward the bluestone is as big as a native dog, and its wings are spread over a foot. It looks like it should be level four.
Hell bats can fly quickly in the air and can also burrow quickly underground. Now that these hell bats have emerged from the ground, they are obviously trying to catch them off guard. Unfortunately, Shen Feiyun has seen others and has already warned everyone. Prepare.
Therefore, these hell bats that emerged from the ground did not sneak attack on everyone. Instead, they were attacked as soon as they emerged from the ground.
When Qingshi saw the Hell Bat coming towards him, he raised his hand and struck out with the Wild Fire Burning Sky Sword Technique. It was the most powerful move in the Burning Sky Sword Technique. The Flowing Fire Sword suddenly became blazing and hit the hell with a heat wave. Bats, Qingshi naturally knew that hell bats were afraid of fire, so they used fire attribute sword techniques.
Sure enough, the hell bat wanted to make a sneak attack, but was caught off guard by Qingshi. When it saw a sword coming, it couldn't dodge, so it had to stretch out its claws to block it. Two of the long claws were cut off.
The hell bat let out a scream, flapped its wings and flew forward from the blue stone. The blue stone did not hold back, and used its left hand to move its Qingfeng finger. A wind blade came out, cutting the left wing of the hell bat into a section of more than two feet long. of the mouth.
The hell bat screamed in the air again, stumbled and fell to the ground, and rolled several times in a row. Qingshi immediately gave chase, but the hell bat suddenly burrowed into the ground.
Qingshi leaped over, and the long sword in his hand pierced into the ground until it reached the hilt. When he pulled out the sword again, he saw that the tip of the sword was red. It had obviously stabbed the hell bat again, but it still escaped.
Naturally, everyone else was also fighting with the hell bats. Shen Feiyun dealt with six hell bats alone. The long sword in his hand flew as fast as lightning, and his agility was faster than the hell bats flying in the air. His sword appeared Dark red, with waves of heat, it was obvious that he also used fire-attribute swordsmanship.
A silver spear flew up and down in Wu Qinghan's hand, casting cold light. He obviously had wind-attribute Qi, and his movements were extremely fast, but the spear in his hand used water-attribute martial arts, and the spear shadow was fast and dense.
Duan Xiaoyu has a shield in her left hand and a sword in her right hand. At this time, there is more than one short spike on her shield. There are nine spikes of varying lengths on the entire shield. There are also sharp serrations growing on the edge of the shield. The right hand is no longer a dagger, the sword is still the same, but it has grown two feet and turned into a long sword.
Her sword is also blazing, but it is not the fire attribute sword technique, but the Yang attribute Qi sword technique of the Duan family.
Wu Qinghan and Duan Xiaoyu followed Shen Feiyun's orders and cooperated, resisting the attacks of seven or eight hell bats. The battle mode was the same as Shen Feiyun's, which was group attack and group defense.
Chen Tianye, like Qingshi, was staring at a fierce attack. He also used Yang attribute Qi swordsmanship. As soon as the group of hell bats appeared, Chen Tianye focused on the largest one among them and attacked fiercely.
Qingshi pulled out his sword from the ground and retreated to the crowd to join the battle group.
At this time, Chen Tianye had wounded the largest hell bat three times. Seeing that the situation was not going well, the hell bat wanted to escape. It let out a sharp roar, hoping to use sound waves to frighten the chaotic opponent. At the same time, he turned around in the air and rushed to the ground. How could Chen Tianye be hit? He had already anticipated the Hell Bat's intention. He turned and picked up the sword in his hand, and the Hell Bat flew down, seemingly hitting the sword himself.
Chen Tianye gently moved his sword forward and pierced the belly of the hell bat. The hell bat hit the sword and hit the ground with its head. Instead of going into the ground, it knocked itself dizzy and lay on the ground screaming.
Chen Tianye gently turned the sword in his hand, cutting a blood groove on the body of the hell bat, and then pierced the center of its eyebrow with the sword. A plume of black smoke suddenly appeared from where the sword hit, and accompanied by the sound of sizzling meat, the hell bat The screams suddenly stopped and the account was settled immediately.
As the hell bat died, the sharp laughter in the distance turned into angry wails. A dozen hell bats surrounding the crowd turned around and ran away almost at the same time. Naturally, everyone would not miss this opportunity to attack with all their strength.
At one time, four or five hell bats were injured and fell to the ground. Three of them went into the ground and disappeared. However, one of the other two was cut into two pieces by Shen Feiyun, and one was injured by a bluestone and fell to the ground. Then he was shot to death by Wu Qinghan.
The group that flew away were also injured by Duan Xiaoyu and Chen Tianye.
"Don't chase!" Shen Feiyun said.
Wu Qinghan pulled out his spear and wanted to pursue him, but he had to stop after hearing this.
Shen Feiyun said in a deep voice: "Be alert!" But his eyes were looking in the direction where the hell bat was escaping.
Qingshi also looked over there, and saw a black mist slowly rising over there. The place where the black mist rose was the lonely stone tower in the deepest part of the cave.
After the black mist rose, it quickly spread towards this side. Everyone guessed that it was probably poisonous mist. Shen Feiyun looked at Qingshi and said, "This is probably poisonous mist. Can we set up a shielding array?"
"Of course," Qingshi replied, "The only way is to do this first, and then think of a way."
"Wait a minute," Chen Tianye suddenly said, "Look over there." After speaking, he pointed to the center of the cave, in the direction of the group of stone towers.
I saw that the originally stable light on the stone tower in the center of the group of stone towers kept flickering, but the lights on the tops of other stone towers were still as stable as they were first seen.
"Huh?" Shen Feiyun said, "Let's go over and take a look."
Although the black mist filled up quickly, Shen Feiyun and the others were faster, and within a dozen breaths, everyone was running close to the stone tower.
Qingshi and Shen Feiyun were running side by side in front. He saw that there were obvious signs of magic formations connecting the stone towers, so he stopped and said, "Wait a minute, these stone towers can form magic formations with each other. Let's not enter the stone towers easily yet." within the group.”
From a distance, these stone towers seemed to be very close together. Now that I looked closer, I realized that these stone towers were actually at least ten feet away from each other.
The distribution of stone towers seems messy and irregular. The distances between stone towers are also different. Each stone tower is also different in size. Only the stone material and architectural shape are the same. The shining stone tower in the middle is the tallest and largest, still more than thirty feet away from Qingshi and the others.
Qingshi carefully checked the situation of the stone tower group, and Duan Xiaoyu reminded: "Brother Qingshi, the black mist is coming towards us."
Qingshi looked up at the black mist. It was estimated that it would spread to the front in a quarter of an hour at most, and he would have no time to study the stone tower.
Looking at the direction of the black mist, it is obviously spreading in all directions. It seems that it will not take long to fill the entire underground space, so there is no point in hiding.
Qingshi looked around and found a stone platform dozens of feet away on the right. The terrain was higher and relatively flat. He immediately pointed to that place and said: "That place is more suitable for setting up a shielding array. Let's go there to set up the array." Isolate the poisonous fog."
Naturally, everyone had no objections and was about to take action when they heard an old voice saying: "Everyone, come down to my stone tower. The best choice is to use the stone tower to set up the formation here." Listening to the direction, it was the light shining in the middle It came from under the big stone tower.
Everyone was shocked and stopped to look at the stone tower, but no one was there.
The light of the stone tower no longer flickered, and the voice said: "The poisonous mist of this bat demon is very powerful. You must believe me and come here quickly! Only by setting up formations within the scope of these spiritual towers can we withstand it, otherwise the poisonous mist you carry with you Once the spirit stones are used up, it’s all over.”
Shen Feiyun and Qingshi looked at each other and asked in the direction of the stone tower: "Who is this senior expert? Why do you want to help us?"
"I used to be the great elder of Jiufeng Sect," the voice said. "There is no time. Come here quickly. I will explain it clearly to you after we isolate the poisonous mist."
Qingshi was not panicked and said calmly: "Relying on the stone tower formation can only make the magic array stronger. If the poisonous fog cannot be solved, it can only support it for a little longer. You are so urgent to let us enter the stone tower range, is it? What’s the point?”
"This stone tower is connected to the earth's veins!" The voice said urgently, "Do you understand?"
Qingshi was stunned and said: "Even so, how can you make us believe you? Maybe we fell into the magic circle trap as soon as we entered."
"Alas!" The voice sighed, "That's what you said. I have a way to make you believe it, but I don't have enough time. You should think of a way quickly."
"Okay!" Qingshi said still unhurriedly, "I'm waiting for you to make me believe it."
After saying that, Qingshi waved his hand, and thirty-six golden jade bone formation sticks flew out. Eighteen of them were inserted into the ground to form a circle with a diameter of about three feet and were distributed around the crowd. The other eighteen formation sticks were suspended in mid-air. It is divided into three circles, with nine roots in the lower circle, six in the middle, and three at the top.
The entire thirty-six formation sticks formed a cone-like space, surrounding Qingshi and others. Qingshi quickly pointed his hands in the air, and saw the thirty-six formation sticks flashing one after another under Qingshi's guidance, and Shen Fei However, Yun and others could not see the pattern of flickering.
Duan Xiaoyu said: "Brother Qingshi, since we are not going into the stone tower area, why don't we go to the platform over there? Is it appropriate to set up the formation here?"
Qingshi kept holding his hands and replied casually: "It doesn't matter."
The thirty-six formation sticks have all flashed one after another. After the last formation stick flashed, the thirty-six formation sticks flashed with golden light at the same time. Then the formation sticks disappeared, and a transparent cone-shaped energy defense barrier was formed.
At this time, the black mist had spread over, and it only took a few breaths to surround the entire defensive formation. The black mist was extremely toxic, and the formation sticks needed to expend their own energy to maintain the energy wall of the barrier and compete with it.
Qingshi was reluctant to waste the spiritual power of the formation stick, so he kept spilling high-grade spiritual stones on the ground with his hands, and then used the force of his fingers to carve formation patterns on the ground. The layout was completed in just a dozen breaths.
The formation pattern and the spirit stone disappeared together, and the entire barrier flashed and trembled slightly, and then stabilized. At this time, the entire shielding array mainly used the energy of the spirit stone. Qingshi observed the decline in the spirit power of the spirit stone and made some calculations in his mind.
He found that the poisonous mist was really powerful, and it took a lot of spiritual power for the magic circle to resist the corrosion of the poisonous mist. But judging from the massive amount of spiritual stones he carries, it is more than enough to last for eighteen hundred years.
Outside the boundary of the magic circle, the black mist continued to fill the air, soon engulfing the stone towers, and then continued to spread.
Through the energy wall and black mist of the magic circle, Qingshi and the others could still vaguely see the radiant stone tower.
