Chapter 134: Bat Encirclement
The demon had already flown above their heads, corresponding to the bats in the sky. Now, Zhao Yu only felt that he had completely entered the cover set by the enemy.
Zhao Yu looked up in confusion until the huge demon suddenly swooped down.
A stream of air rushed straight to the ground, and Zhao Yu's hands were trembling uncontrollably. He was so immobilized by the panic that he lost even his thoughts.
Fortunately, he was suddenly hit on the shoulder, and he came out of his frightened thoughts. Swinging his head, he happened to see Shen Mengting's tight face.
"Hey, why don't you run?"
Following Shen Mengting's roar, Zhao Yu saw that Qian Hao and Jiang Jingwen were also about to run quickly. So, Zhao Yu quickly got ready to pull his legs.
"Run into the woods! bats don't fly well there!" cried Qian Hao, his longbow raised to his chest.
In an instant, he shot an arrow of light into the air. The light arrow was like a meteor that shot straight into the sky, colliding with the demon that was rushing to the ground.
Seeing this, the demon quickly turned its body away, and it brushed shoulders with the light arrow.
"Yo! the reaction is quite fast!" Qian Hao twitched the corners of his mouth unwillingly.
After dodging the light arrow, the demon rushed towards the people on the ground again, and the air flow that seemed to be about to suppress people firmly on the surface of the ground was restored again.
"Run, run to the woods!" Shen Mengting waved her lower arm sharply.
So, the four of them began to run south. Running into dense woods seems to be the best option at the moment, as there are so many vampire bats in the air that if there are some obstructions around it, it may limit the sneak attack of those predators.
This is also the reason why Qian Hao and Shen Mengting desperately want to run into the woods to take refuge. However, the woods were a few kilometers away, and it had taken them dozens of minutes to ride fast horses just now, let alone just walking.
Zhao Yu only felt as if his legs were about to be fixed to the ground, causing him to suddenly and mysteriously stop. He gasped several times, and his legs were shaking. He didn't know why he had stopped, but after glancing at the staff in his hand, he knew that it was because the air flow above his head was so great that he lost the motivation to run.
The demon's massive body was rapidly approaching. Seeing that he was about to be caught by the demon, fortunately, Shen Mengting pulled his arm fiercely, so that he could move his pace.
"Hey, what the hell are you in a daze! Now in such a moment of crisis, keep my brain awake!" Shen Mengting roared directly in Zhao Yu's ear.
Zhao Yu felt that his ears were about to be shattered, but because of the urgency of his sobriety, he didn't have the time to pay attention to it. He stepped up again, firmly following behind them.
The demon pounced, balancing and flipping to the ground on its legs.
Zhao Yu turned his head, and only then did he fully see the enormity of the demon. He almost had to look up to see the demon's head.
At this time, the demon quickly stretched its wings behind its back, and Zhao Yu knew that it was making preparations for the imminent rush.
Zhao Yu gasped and sped up his pace again. He followed behind Shen Mengting, and there were Qian Hao and Jiang Jingwen who were also running rapidly at the front.
"Don't give up, you have to run away from this hellish place quickly!" Qian Hao raised his longbow and twisted his neck to look around.
At this moment, the vampire bats hovering in the air suddenly began to attack. All of them lowered their flight altitude, and some even dived straight towards the four.
Zhao Yu saw a bat rushing diagonally above, and he instinctively blocked his arm in front of him.
"Damn, these brutes!" Qian Hao, who was at the forefront, suddenly pressed down the longbow in his hand. He skillfully holds the bow in one hand and pulls the string in the other.
When an arrow of light was fired, the swooping bat fell to the ground.
However, it was only one bat that was shot down, and a steady stream of bats came from other directions.
The four of them kept running south, and the vampire bats followed them like escorts. These bats are extremely insidious, often swooping down to attack people, and then quickly flying into the air. They never fight humans on the ground, they swoop down and bite the bite.
"Damn!" Shen Mengting gritted her teeth and waved her sword to drive away the bats around her.
It can be said that the four of them were harassed enough by the bats, and the bats continued to swoop down, scratch their mouths and leave marks on the bodies of the four people.
"Ahh
"Xiaowen!"
"Don't stop, run faster. As long as we run to the woods, those bats will take us away!" Qian Hao deliberately slowed down his running speed. His two long legs seemed to be the best tool for fast running. However, with his companions behind him, he couldn't speed up as fast as he could.
Qian Hao released light arrows at the surroundings from time to time, but it was rare for the light arrows to shoot down a few bats, and there were many enemies constantly flying around.
Zhao Yu gasped, he was not good at running, not to mention that there was such a terrible enemy, who had been harassing around. He waved his right hand in fear, but at that moment, the vampire bat flew close to his left.
"Negotiate ...... ...... Negotiation"
A strange sound and an unpleasant smell erupted from the left, and Zhao Yu hurriedly turned his head. He noticed that the vampire bat had been descending to his left, its jaws wide open.
Zhao Yu didn't react, but by virtue of his habit, he still recognized the general outline of the enemy.
Vampire bats are actually not small, and when they spread their wings, they are about two shoulder width lengths. Even, if it flies right next to you, you will have the illusion that he is as tall as you. No, it should be said that it is even taller than you.
Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and he instinctively moved to the right, but the effect was extremely ungood. The vampire bat approached and bit at his left arm, which he waved in a panic.
A pain struck, but it didn't change his desire to escape. Zhao Yu kept waving his left arm, but he didn't shake off the bat's bite.
Just when he was at a loss, a bright light suddenly came to him. By the time he could react, a sword slashed at the vampire bat that was biting his left arm.
In less than a second, the bat was split in half.
Zhao Yu looked towards the swinging sword, and what he saw was Shen Mengting's tight face.
"Don't get too nervous. When you encounter danger, you have to think about how to get out of danger, instead of panicking and not knowing what to do!" Shen Mengting, who was running in front, twisted her neck, and her eyebrows seemed to be almost glued together.
Zhao Yu nodded blankly. But at this moment, a vampire bat quickly swooped in the direction directly behind him.
Seeing this, Shen Mengting immediately swung her sword and was about to slash at the bat.
The bat did not choose to bite directly with its teeth, but moved back and grabbed Zhao Yu's back with the claws of its lower limbs. Shen Mengting hurriedly predicted the trajectory of the bat's imminent attack, and when Zhao Yu was about to be caught by the claws, she swung her sword towards that place.
Then, another vampire bat was cut in half and scattered to the ground.
"Let's go, run!" Shen Mengting also deliberately slowed down and stared at Zhao Yu and ran in front of her.
Zhao Yu felt a little embarrassed, he had always needed the protection of others, but Shen Mengting's boredom pushed his back, which still made him run quickly.
A large number of bats flocked to the vicinity of the four of them, and if you look up, you will find that they seem to be all wrapped up in a dense flying group. Moreover, this flight area will not 'throw' some individuals and harass the crowd all the time.
Had to run into the woods - Shen Mengting knew that was the only hope.
chose to run at the back of the line, Shen Mengting felt that it was possible to watch the safety of her partner. So, the team has become what it is today:
Qian Hao, who was holding a longbow, ran at the front, and while looking back, he continued to shoot light arrows to deter the attacking bats.
Jiang Jingwen ran in the second position, this girl seemed to be frightened by the scene in front of her, holding her head with both hands. However, her heart is actually quite calm, and whenever a vampire bat in the sky approaches, she will swing her elbow vigorously to drive away.
In the third place was Zhao Yu, who held a staff and followed the first two closely.
As for Shen Mengting, she naturally ran at the end of the line. The sword was in her hand, and she needed to run forward as hard as she could. It's a struggle, but if you can run into the woods, you're saved.
However, just as her mental calculations relaxed, she suddenly felt an energy from behind.
That......
Shen Mengting quickly turned around. In an instant, her pupils narrowed rapidly.
The giant demon was rushing at them. The demon waved its wings, its lower limbs slightly off the ground, as if it were sliding, and rushed towards everyone. A few streaks of air swept across its sides, and dust was constantly raised on the ground.
"It's coming!"
Shen Mengting's roar made Qian Hao, who was running to the front, come back, and he naturally saw the demon that was about to rush.
"Ahh......h
"Qian Hao, don't worry about this, you keep running!" Shen Mengting raised her sword, but she herself stopped.
"Shen Mengting!"
Qian Hao's everyone also made Jiang Jingwen and Zhao Yu turn back.
"Don't stop, run over the woods!" Shen Mengting shook her arm sharply.
Then, she stopped and turned around completely. The demon was rushing towards her, even her arms spread. That's what an attack looks like.
Shen Mengting didn't change her mind at all, she glanced at the sword in her hand, and as if sighing, she bracked her legs and jumped into the air.
Her body was like a sharp needle that had rushed into a balloon, poking at the vampire bats that formed a swarm in the air. The bats seemed to be self-aware, and they all quickly flew away from it.
When Shen Mengting rose to a certain height, she changed to holding a sword in both hands. Her eyes were also aimed at the rushing demon, and her body quickly fell diagonally downward.
The air around the blade was mixed with air, and it seemed as if it was all about to be split in half by her. Shen Mengting used her greatest strength to slash at the demon.
The demon knew Shen Mengting's intentions, it suddenly stopped impacting, and the moment its feet hit the ground, it dodged to the side. Shen Mengting naturally cut it empty.
Things weren't the worst, Shen Mengting happened to fall next to the demon after that. When her knees changed to a straight one, the demon came to her side. In front of her, a shadow was instantly obscured, the massive body of the demon.
Shen Mengting showed a surprised countenance, and she instinctively tightened her whole body, looking at the impending threat.
The demon stopped next to Shen Mengting, and it slowly straightened up. The demon's reminder was really huge, and Shen Mengting was like a kitten in front of it.
It's no wonder that there is a huge difference between a human being who is less than two meters and a demon who is nearly five or six meters tall.
"Shen Mengting!" Zhao Yu roared anxiously.
Shen Mengting heard it, but she didn't pay attention to it. When she met the demon's eyes, she could even see the wrinkled dead flesh on the demon's face, but Shen Mengting didn't have any fear.
"Humble human!" the demon opened its mouth, and a green breath erupted from it.
Shen Mengting frowned in disgust, she clenched the sword in one hand and put the other hand to her nose. Raising her head slightly, she jumped into the sky the moment the demon stretched out its claws. Her bouncing height was astonishing, reaching the demon's shoulder in one leap.
"Qian Hao, you are responsible for escorting those two little ones to safety, and I will deal with this demon!" Shen Mengting shouted.
Qian Hao in the distance moved his ears after hearing this: You asked me to escort someone?
"Hey!" Qian Hao always held his longbow, "You are doing what you want to do to fight the enemy, but you asked me to be your bodyguard?"
Shen Mengting swung her sword and slashed at the demon's shoulder, "Oops! Why are you bothered about this now?"
The sword slashed at the enemy, but it was of no use. The demon's skin was covered with armor, and there was no damage at all.
Shen Mengting showed a surprised look. It was at this moment that the demon swung its claws and attacked her.
She quickly forced her balance to dodge the enemy's claws. When she was about to fall to the ground, she didn't forget to yell at Qian Hao.
"The most important thing is to get everyone out of the crisis. She landed on both feet.
However, because the location is at the feet of the demon, her crisis has not been resolved.
The demon then used its claws to sweep her body.
Shen Mengting quickly rolled to the side, dodging the demon's claw strike. She kept rolling on the ground, only to stop rolling when she realized she had dodged an enemy attack. Shoved her sword into the ground, she leaped into the air with all her might.
She knew that the height difference with the demon could be compensated for by bouncing.
Qian Hao also knew Shen Mengting's good intentions at this moment, so he also greeted Jiang Jingwen and Zhao Yu, and opened his throat and shouted: "Let's go!"
"But...... Sister Mengting!" Jiang Jingwen looked a little hesitant.
"You leave her alone. That woman is so much stronger than you think. Qian Hao said solemnly with his eyes widened. It just so happened that a vampire bat swooped down towards them at this moment, and Qian Hao quickly shot a light arrow, which sent the bat to hell.
"But ......" Jiang Jingwen was still hesitating.
"I said let's go! you're a burden to stay here, and it's going to make her uneasy. Qian Hao pulled Jiang Jingwen's arm violently.
It can be seen that Jiang Jingwen is still unwilling to leave Shen Mengting behind, and runs away by herself.
Zhao Yu also didn't want to abandon his companions, so his feet were also firmly glued to the ground. It's just that he looked at the vampire bats that rushed from time to time, and the demon with a huge body, and wondered what he could help.
Zhao Yu immediately glanced at the staff in his hand, and he once again realized that he was a magician.
"Let's go!" Qian Hao pulled Jiang Jingwen's strength.
But after Jiang Jingwen looked at Shen Mengting, she shook her head resolutely, "No! ”
'Four people go together', this sentence seems to have infected Zhao Yu with something. He only felt a stream of heat gushing out of his heart. He didn't know why he was the way he was. However, he did feel warm inside.
It seems that it was at this time that he understood the concept of 'companion'.
Zhao Yu seemed to be a little distracted, he looked at the pair of men and women pulling in front of him, that is, Qian Hao and Jiang Jingwen, and then looked at Shen Mengting who was fighting with the demon in the distance.
"Companion!" Zhao Yu unconsciously said these two words.
For a moment, he intuitively felt that his whole body was given a force. This force seemed to pull him, making him clench the staff in his hand.
Yes, I have companions! I am no longer alone! Zhao Yu took a sharp breath, and his chest was firmly lifted.
But none of the companions around him noticed the changes in Zhao Yu, they were all doing their own things.
Shen Mengting fought with the demons in a panic, and she was able to dodge the demons' attacks again and again with her dexterous body. However, instead of attacking herself, she completely took the rough-skinned demon with no problem.
"It's really impossible to start!" Shen Mengting grumbled.
Jiang Jingwen was still struggling with whether to leave, even though Qian Hao was trying to persuade her, Jiang Jingwen was unmoved.
Qian Hao felt that his mouth was about to become dehydrated. The vampire bats were still flying around, and the few that flew from time to time were shot down by Qian Hao. However, it is not possible to remove all the bats.
If you want to escape, you have to go to the woods.
"Let's go!"
"No!"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the sky, and everyone looked up.
In the already dark sky, there were bursts of light. Everyone's faces were irrigated with surprise.
It was none other than the demon who caused the noise.
I saw the demon roar in the sky, and it finally shot out a green pillar of light. The pillars of light slashed into the sky, piercing through the thick dark clouds.
That is, after the demon's roar, the bats in the air suddenly seemed to go crazy, their flight speed increased a lot, and their faces became a little bloody as if they had been painted with a layer of red paint.
Seeing this, Shen Mengting hurriedly yelled at the three companions in the distance: "Hey, why are you still staying? Why don't you run?" The demon has injected strength into the surroundings, and those bats have a stronger desire to attack people. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the demon's claws beckoned to her. She hurriedly jumped to dodge it.
