Reckless mountains and forests, lush forests and seas.

The song of insects and cicadas just now was instantly replaced by a strange sound of flapping wings.

Puff puff......

A dense cloud of bats swarmed out, encircling the group almost instantly.

Short, thick black hair, scarlet eyes, white fangs, and a basin-sized body...... These are not the usual wild manta bat swarms in the mountains and forests, but a group of vampire bats that have been modified by evil witchcraft.

With their qualifications, they can't be called orthodox vampires, but they're just some blood slaves and derivatives created by orthodox vampires.

Their combat power is undoubtedly used to deal with the 2 Radiant Knights and 3 Spell-Breaking Knights in front of them, and they are undoubtedly vulnerable to blows. However, after the five knights threw off the coarse cloth cloak that was in the way, they all gathered together back to back with nervous expressions, as if they were afraid of something.

In the deepest part of the distant forest, a tall figure wrapped in a bright red dress stood on a thick branch, peering through the mottled leaves of the knights. And beside her, every branch of the tall ancient tree was hung upside down with dense vampire bats.

Compared to the bats that went out to fight, the hundred or so vampire bats hanging all over the tree were the guards that Mary the Bloody Witch really valued. Each of them has a huge body like a calf, gray fluff, a shaggy and thin face, and an anthropomorphic face.

They hang upside down from the branches, vigilantly watching the surrounding mountains and forests, and from time to time open their mouths full of sharp teeth to emit high-frequency sound waves that are difficult for human ears to catch, maintaining close contact with the peripheral 'sentinels'.

However, on Mary's side, there were also eight humanoid vampires dressed as knights with blood-eyed fangs. They are the killer weapons that Mary dares to hunt down the fugitive knights with impunity—the Blood Knights.

There are eight Blood Knights in total.

Among them, there are 3 blood knights with 2nd order strength and 5 blood knights with 1st order strength.

And their predecessors were the Radiant Knights and Spellbreaker Knights who once ruled this plane.

However, after Mary's initial vampire possession and witchcraft, they have long lost their nature and become the first generation of vampires who only look forward to Mary. However, in this way, their own intelligence will also be significantly weakened compared to before, and most of their combat skills before reincarnation will be forgotten.

Therefore, the second-order blood knight has a strong physique and a strong blood-sucking regeneration ability, but it can only exert the combat power of the first-order elite wizard level. This is especially sorry for Mary!

As for those Tier 1 Blood Knights, they were just vampires with wizard-level strength.

The first swarm of vampire bats is like a pack of wolves coiled around the periphery of a flock, whining and weaving left and right through the dense forest. More than 600 bats gathered in the dense forest less than 100 meters, and they just used their bodies to cover the place tightly.

What's even more bizarre is that with such a high density of organisms, they are interspersed one by one without any collision. This makes their flying skills even more admirable!

After half a year of fugitive and hidden life, this group of demon hunters has long since lost their previous strength. And without the support of the knight kingdom, they no longer have magic horses to travel, no longer have magic crystals to support, they can't eat, they can't dress warmly, and they can't sleep well...... This has caused a serious decline in their combat power.

Without the Pony, they would have to trek on their legs, and without the Magic Crystal, their runic swords would have become flaming sticks, unable to inspire the scorching elemental flames of any longer. If you want to activate a semi-long-range energy blade, you can only rely on your own energy reserves.

This obviously can't last!

But even so, when the rune sword was held in their hands, the dazzling energy fluorescence began to roll in their bodies, and the combat power displayed by this group of high-ranking knights was still so violent and ferocious, unmatched!

One after another energy blades shot out, destroying everywhere, and it was impossible to resist.

Whether it was a tall tree hugging a person, or a branch the thickness of an arm, or the oily black leathery body of a vampire bat, they all split in two under the whirlwind of the furious blade, and then exploded into a sky of grass and wood debris and stinking purple blood.

The team of 5 people is obviously experienced, and while opening the way with energy blades, they quickly move through the forest, looking like they are sworn to break through.

And the numerous vampire bats are obviously helpless against them.

After they turn into bats, after all, they are unarmored or lightly armored targets, and it is a dream to use their weak bodies to compete with the energy blades with an attack strength of 30-50 degrees.

So they can only squeak and squeak and fly all over the sky, in a vain attempt to interfere with the enemy's movement with dense numbers.

As for the vampire bats that rushed into the defensive circle of the knight squad, the end was even more miserable.

A rune sword made of special magic steel swung like a fly in the hands of a high-ranking knight, and the sword light flashed as fast as lightning. Five long swords formed a circle of swords, and all the bats that broke into them were slashed one by one before they could get close to them.

For her subordinates being slaughtered, Mary, who was standing on the periphery and watching from afar, was not at all sensitive.

For her, only these blood knights and low-level vampires around her deserve attention. As for these blood slaves and derivatives on the periphery, no matter how much they die, it doesn't hurt to be heartbroken. If the number is not enough, find a human city to hold a blood donation feast, and the number of low-level slaves will soon be replenished.

So, these guys are originally victims, so how can they be worth it or not!

However, in this wilderness and barren mountain, it is still a little difficult to replenish blood slaves immediately, so Mary does not plan to let these cannon fodder be wasted.

With a slight wave of Mary's hand, the hundred or so low-level vampires entrenched beside her instantly flew up nearly halfway, flapping their wings and blending into the vampire bats.

"Watch out, there's a vampire coming!" the leader of the knights in the team reminded in a low voice.

In the pursuit and escape for most of the year, countless partners have fallen very miserably under the fangs of this group of vampires, either because of physical exhaustion or because of carelessness.

These vampires may not have great attack or defense, but they are extremely good at fighting.

They mingle with normal vampire bats, and will swoop down at the first opportunity, transforming into a human form the moment they reach their target's side. They didn't dodge the knight's attacks at all, they just fit and pounced, scratching and biting the flesh that the knight had landed on the outside of the armor with all their might.

Such a fierce attack is simply impossible to defend against!

If only one or two vampires fought like this, the knights would be able to cope with it with their swords and armor, but if a group of vampires came up, even the knights would not be able to resist such an attack.

So with the addition of the vampire horde, the battle of the 5-person knight squad becomes difficult.

The Radiant Knights were far superior in physical strength to these vampires, so killing them was like chopping melons and vegetables. As a result, the vampires desperately urged the vampire bats to rush up and entangle the two Radiant Knights, and they quickly gathered together and continued to impact the defensive circle around the three Spellbreaker Knights.

In the midst of the violent and bloody battle, a law-breaking knight was only concerned with wielding a long sword and slashing mutated bats flying past him, not even noticing the low bushes under his feet.

With a stumble, he stumbled two steps back and actually 'walked away' from the defensive circle.

This change immediately made him break out in a cold sweat, and before he could stand firmly, he brandished his long sword and tried to rush back to his close companion.

It's a pity it's too late!

fluttering ......

For a while, countless vampire bats poured into the knight battle circle from this gap, and they made all the knights scramble with a terrifying number.

And just when they had no time to care, a group of vampires descended from the sky, frantically using their bodies to attack the sword formation of the outlier knights.

Blood splatters, limbs fly!

However, in this bloody storm, the figures of the outliers were also swept farther and farther away by them, and gradually disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

Puff puff......

Several energy blades shot up into the sky in a row, instantly cutting the group of vampire bats around them into pieces of flesh, and the blood rain in the sky was sprinkled, and everyone's body was dyed red.

Having just emptied the group of enemies, before they could even out the furious energy agitation in their bodies, a new batch of vampire bats swarmed from all directions, suppressing them in place once again.

And through the chaotic gap between the bats, the knights could faintly hear the sound of their outliers slashing and shouting a dozen paces away. But soon with a terrible scream, the distant sound gradually stopped, and only the strange sucking sound that made the teeth ache and the legs weak.

"No, Chief, we're going to save Stuffy!" Locard, the strong man wielding the great axe, was already panting from exhaustion, and his knotted muscles were covered in shiny sweat.

"Save what, can't you see he's dead?" Chim roared with rage as he slashed desperately.

The team is not complete enough, and if one more mortal person stays here, I am afraid that it will be difficult for several of them to escape today. So he hated Lokar's proposal, which only grew muscles and no brains.

"I don't care, I won't leave any of my brothers' ......" Lokar, whose eyes were already blood-red, roared angrily, turned around, opened the way with a giant axe, and fought alone into the distance.

Damn yes damn it......

Sure enough, before Sim could curse, the knight leader had already made a quick decision.

"You take Sim first, and I'll go and bring Lokar back. We met at the agreed place ......"

After a quick finish, the body of the knight leader was covered in dazzling fluorescence in the next second. These runic energies emanated from his body, condensing into an armor of light on the surface of his body, which also gave him more violent and ferocious fighting abilities.

When the dazzling blade of the sword shines brightly in the sky, the fluttering bat corpses rain down like drops.

"Go, go, I'll catch up with you in a moment......"

The knight leader roared loudly and rushed into the dense forest.
