The three of them were so shocked that they didn't bother to look back at the situation behind them, and almost used their strength to run desperately towards the entrance of the cave.

Dozens of meters behind them, swarms of black bats, as if making a locust plague, chased them all the way.

Although those are just ordinary bats and pose no threat to people, the point is that there are too many of them.

There is no need to look back at all, just listening to the sound of the wings of those bats rubbing the air is enough to hear that there are definitely hundreds of thousands, or even more!

"The Taoist chief and the son hurry up, I'll cut it off. ”

After that, Zeng Jing lit a torch, held it in front of him with his left hand, and the long sword in his right hand was ready to fire.

At this moment of crisis, Shen Yu and Yuan Yue didn't care about being polite to Zeng Jing, so they hurriedly climbed up with their hands and feet.

As soon as he climbed out of the hole, Old Man Zhao came over like a ghost and said, "A few of you are finally back!"

Nima!

Yuan Yue was okay, Shen Yu was really almost frightened by the sudden appearance of Old Man Zhao and rolled down to the bottom of the cave.

Thanks to Old Man Zhao's quick eyes, he grabbed his arm, otherwise he would have had an accident.

Old man Zhao was just about to compensate for his discomfort, but Shen Yu said breathlessly: "Hurry up and light the torch and hold it, and leave quickly with us!"

As soon as the words fell, Zeng Jing also climbed up: "Run, I saw it, at least thousands of bats, and they will catch up immediately!"

When several people heard this, they were all shocked and inexplicable, and the old man Zhao's face changed wildly, and he quickly lit a torch in his hand, and said as he ran: "A few come with me." ”

That is, when a few people ran out less than a few feet away, more than 200 bats flying in front followed closely and chased after them.

Thanks to the fact that several people were holding torches in their hands, the old man Zhao was even more familiar with the surrounding mountain roads.

A few people don't need to look at the road at all, as long as they follow the footsteps of Old Man Zhao closely.

Otherwise, it is now late at night, and the moonlight is mostly blocked by trees, and even if you hold a torch for lighting, you can't run fast at all.

After two or three breaths, hundreds of more bats flew up from the bottom of the cave.

As the number of bats grew, the torches held by several people seemed less and less intimidating.

Shen Yu and the three of them didn't care about thinking nonsense at all, they just gritted their teeth and followed Old Man Zhao all the way.

Just when Shen Yu felt that there were already four or five bats flying on his back and head, he heard Old Man Zhao suddenly shout, "Everyone jump." ”

As soon as Old Man Zhao's words fell, Shen Yu felt that his feet were empty, and with a plop, several people fell into the river together.

That is, the moment Shen Yu just fell into the water, Zeng Jing let go of the torch in his hand, grabbed Shen Yu's arm vigorously, and took him along the river and swam into the distance.

Hundreds of bats flew over the river, hovering and dispersing after a while.

..................

Two quarters of an hour later, Yuan Yue and the others returned to the ground.

Shen Yu had already been swept away by the river, if Zeng Jing hadn't been pulling him, I am afraid that his landlubber would not have been bitten to death by a large group of bats, but would have been drowned alive in the river.

Zeng Jing turned Shen Yu's body over and helped him gently beat his back, and it took a long time to wake him up.

At this moment, several people looked very embarrassed, sweat mixed with river water, soaked clothes, and it was worse than a soup chicken.

Old man Zhao gasped and said, "Dao Chief, what's going on?" The old man has been waiting for you outside for more than two hours, and the old man almost went down to look for you. ”

Yuan Yue's face was very ugly, and he said in a low voice: "It's a long story, in short, the one who is responsible for the disaster is not an ordinary monster, but a demon monk who specializes in evil arts. ”

"This demon monk is not only powerful in evil arts, but also has martial arts, which is really difficult to deal with. ”

"It's thanks to you, the village chief, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Old man Zhao's face changed at first, and then he waved his hand and shook his head repeatedly: "What are these words, Dao Chief." ”

"A few soldiers who took the lead and risked their lives to eradicate the demons were originally for our village, and it was also appropriate for the old man to give a few helps. ”

At this time, Shen Yu finally recovered completely, looked at Yuan Yue, and said with a wry smile: "In terms of martial arts, Brother Zeng is not the opponent of the demon monk. ”

"But as long as it's easy to use the sword, I have reason to believe that Brother Zeng can at least deal with him for a while. ”

"But this demon monk's evil art is really difficult to guard against, I don't know what kind of high opinion I have?"

Zeng Jing and Old Man Zhao also set their eyes on Yuan Yue's face at the same time.

Yuan Yue pondered for a long time, and then said: "It is extremely unfavorable for us to do it at night, we can rest here for a while." ”

"Early in the morning, we returned to the cave, and Zeng Xiaozi guarded the entrance of the cave from which we escaped with a sword. ”

"Stinky boy, you take all our spirit talismans and stand by the side, and listen to the orders of the poor road. ”

"Poor Dao used the 'Heavenly Master Seal' to cast a spell to force the demon monk out of the hole in the ground and put the battlefield outside, and Poor Dao had his own way to eradicate this thief. ”

When Zeng Jing heard this, he opened the package he was carrying, and said helplessly: "But the spirit runes are already soaked and can't be used!"

Without waiting for Yuan Yue to answer, Shen Yu answered: "Brother Zeng doesn't know, the rune paper used in the spirit rune is extremely special, and he is not afraid of water at all, but the incense candles must really not be used." ”

Sure enough, as Shen Yu said, the spirit runes in the package, including the special talisman pen for drawing talismans, are still intact, but the incense candles, torches, and thousands of taels of silver tickets are not the same.

Old man Zhao was heartbroken, looking at the thousands of taels of silver tickets that were completely soaked, and his face was full of regret.

Yuan Yue nodded and said, "Anyway, you two can act according to the plan of the poor road." ”

Shen Yu and Zeng Jing nodded at the same time.

Old man Zhao reluctantly withdrew his regretful gaze, looked at Yuan Yue, and hesitated: "Dao Chief, what about me, what can I do?"

Yuan Yue didn't think about it, and said: "There is a village chief who waives the flag for the poor road." ”

Old man Zhao: "?......"

.........

There was nothing to say all night, and early in the morning, a few people ate some dry food casually and returned to the outside of the cave again.

Zeng Jing put down the package, held the long sword in his hand, and stared at the entrance of the cave without blinking.

Shen Yu held five or six crimson talismans tightly in his right hand, and slowly paced around the entrance of the cave.

Old man Zhao stood under an old locust tree dozens of meters away from the entrance of the cave, looking at Shen Yu and the others intently.

Yuan Yue sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the "Heavenly Master Seal" respectfully in both hands, his eyes closed, and his mouth was full of words.

But because his voice was so inaudible, although Zeng Jing and Shen Yu were very close to him, they couldn't hear what he was talking about at all.
