Chapter 133: Absorbing Ganoderma lucidum nutrients
What's wrong? Zhao Yu kept asking questions in his heart.
The rest tensed their bodies and continued to observe the scene on the cliff wall.
The demon let out a terrible howl, and the wings it flailed to the limit. From a distance, it looked like a giant moth. Zhao Yu was a little stunned. What made him even more worried was that the bats around him were also roaring incessantly.
The cries of demons and bats come together as if they were composing a death song. The rhythm is like a crawling worm that burrows into everyone's ears.
"Ah......" Jiang Jingwen couldn't stand it anymore, she quickly covered her ears.
Shen Mengting also felt uncomfortable, she gritted her teeth and grabbed the stone steps in front of her.
Zhao Yu couldn't wait to run away and leave this ghost place immediately.
Qian Hao's facial features were all clustered together, and he himself was about to be overwhelmed by this noisy and forgiving shout. He let out two waves of indignation from his nose and mouth, "What should I do? What is the situation?" His body was slightly closer to Shen Mengting.
Although Shen Mengting didn't make a move to cover her ears, judging from the wrinkles on her face, she was already upset, "How do I know?"
The screams continued, and the demons screamed intermittently compared to the incessant roar of the bats. It also has the movement of constantly waving its wings.
Zhao Yu clenched his fists, and he tried his best to block his forearm in his ear, but the ugly scream still seemed to burrow into his brain. He just felt like he was going to have a splitting headache.
The demon shouted several more times, one after the other, sometimes softly, sometimes really loud.
But suddenly, at some point, the demon stopped roaring. This turns the plains, which were irrigated by noise, into a completely quiet pattern. The vampire bats all stopped roaring.
Everyone didn't have time to react, and they still covered their ears with resistance. It may be that they are accustomed to the intrusion of noise, and when the disturbing rhythm is over, they can't change their emotions.
Just when everyone was still dumbfounded, the demon made a new move. I saw it knock its head hard against the cliff wall, and a rumbling sound followed.
'Pong'
The sound swelled out across the plain, causing everyone who was still a little stunned to wake up in an instant.
Shen Mengting immediately tensed her whole body again, and put one hand on the stone step table. And her body was half on her feet.
"What's going on? just now?" Qian Hao unconsciously backhanded his hand behind him, where he had the longbow he was carrying.
After the demon struck the cliff wall with his head, there was actually a kind of back-and-forth face-swinging movement. Obviously, it's starting to suck on its own.
"Is it sucking in something?" Jiang Jingwen's eyes flashed with confusion. Of course, it's more about the fear of the unknown being done by the unknown.
"Well, it's really absorbing something!" Shen Mengting's body jumped tighter, and she clenched her fists together, "It should be the same thing that the group of bats absorbed just now." ”
"But the question is what are you sucking?" Qian Hao twitched the corners of his mouth, he had now held the longbow in front of him.
"Maybe ......" Shen Mengting was about to make some guesses. Suddenly, she realized that something was wrong. So, she quickly raised her eyebrows. Swinging her face one after another to look at both sides, she showed a sudden expression.
"What's wrong?" Qian Hao asked when he saw this woman's abnormal behavior.
Shen Mengting blinked, "What is the most nutritious thing in this place?"
Qian Hao was suddenly a little confused, he shrank back in surprise, "Huh, what?"
"Don't you know what's the most nutritious thing in this place?"
Zhao Yu looked like he didn't know why, he didn't know what the meaning of Shen Mengting's question was.
It was Jiang Jingwen, after thinking about it for a while, she immediately woke up like a dream, "Ah!
Shen Mengting excitedly showed a finger to Jiang Jingwen, intending to praise 'you are good'.
"Is that the one? Sister Mengting, what do you mean?"
"Yes, yes, it's the most valuable and nutritious thing here. Shen Mengting looked around at the other two companions around her, "This also explains why that demon came here and sent out a force to summon so many vampire bats!"
"This ...... What the hell is going on?" Qian Hao was a little anxious.
Shen Mengting smiled at him, "Qian Hao, don't you understand? Then what are you here for?"
Qian Hao was a little stunned when asked, and it could be seen that he didn't know the answer at all.
"Qian Hao, have you forgotten what we are here for this time?" Jiang Jingwen also bowed to Qian Hao.
Qian Hao blinked slightly. It didn't take long for him to look abrupt, and he raised his body sharply backwards.
Zhao Yu was surprised when he saw this, and he took turns to look at everyone in a panic. Because he feels that he is the only one who still doesn't know the reason for the matter, it seems a little different. But everyone didn't seem to notice him, still looking at each other, not giving Zhao Yu a little afterglow.
Zhao Yudun was a little anxious, and for the first time he tried to tell the question in his heart: "In the end...... What the hell is going on?"
Only then did Shen Mengting notice Zhao Yu on the side, "Ahhhh
"Hungry! what's wrong?"
"Zhao Yu, have you forgotten the purpose of our trip?" Seeing that Zhao Yu was still a little confused, Shen Mengting directly said a noun - Ganoderma lucidum.
At this time, Zhao Yu completely understood, and he recalled the image of Lingzhi in his mind.
That is to say......
He suddenly looked at the cliff, although he couldn't find the Lingzhi on the huge cliff wall with his naked eyes alone, but the scene of them picking the Lingzhi before was still recalled by him.
Indeed, there are many reishi mushrooms on this cliff wall, and this is where the nutrition lies.
"I seem to have something in mind!" Jiang Jingwen showed a thoughtful look, "In the past, it was often said that people who left or entered the town would encounter some unknown attacks and disappear completely. It's not one or two people who say that, most of their relatives have disappeared outside the town. It seems that this demon did it!"
"Nine times out of ten, it is. This demon took a fancy to the origin of Ganoderma lucidum outside the town, so he came here to absorb the nutrients of Lingzhi. Shen Mengting said.
"But...... If you want to absorb the nutrients of the Ganoderma lucidum...... Qian Hao touched his chin with his hand, "What does it have to do with them sucking on the cliff wall?
"Possibly. Do you remember what I said earlier?Qian Hao!" Jiang Jingwen smiled and raised one finger to the sky, "Since tree roots can absorb nutrients from the soil, they can naturally extract nutrients from the sand wall. And where does the nutrients come from? ”
Qian Hao nodded admiringly.
"Now it's obvious. The demon and the group of vampire bats came here to absorb the nutrients of the Ganoderma lucidum. Because the number of reishi mushrooms is relatively small, they are better to ingest them directly from the cliff wall than to aimlessly look for them one by one. Shen Mengting said and glanced at the demon.
The demon was still greedily sucking it up, as if it could devour everything.
"But I still have a problem. Why does the demon summon a large swarm of bats? Supposedly it should absorb it alone, isn't it?
Shen Mengting thought for a moment, "I guess it can't absorb the nutrients of the entire region of Lingzhi on its own, so it summoned its subordinates to help." Its subordinates are naturally vampire bats all over the world. ”
"And the way it does it does this is by releasing a lot of energy and creating something like a dark cloud to attract bats. Jiang Jingwen immediately followed up with the previous sentence.
"The dark cloud created has a strong stance, attracting vampire bats within a radius of kilometers and misleading and enslaving them. Eventually, these bats became the minions of demons. Shen Mengting's answer was also like a needle.
"The bats that were enslaved came to the cliff wall and made the action of absorbing it. Because the demon alone could not thoroughly absorb so much Lingzhi nutrients from such a large cliff. So, I called the minions to help suck. ”
"The minions' job is to suck up the nutrients from all over the place and gather them into this area, and then the demons themselves will absorb them. So, we see a scene where hundreds of vampire bats suck first, and then the giant demon sucks it. ”
"That's right! The younger brother is just responsible for absorbing a wide range of nutrients, and finally the boss will greedily enjoy it alone!"
Watching these two women sing and harmonize, Qian Hao wondered if they were sisters.
"Xiaowen, you're very smart!"
"Of course, Sister Mengting! I said ......" Jiang Jingwen said the most excited, but suddenly stopped.
Her stop was not for anything else, it was because of the actions of the demon in front of her.
The demon stopped sucking, and it let out a low 'ah' that provoked the nearby bats to scream again. Then, suddenly, it turned its head. With this turn, its side face was completely exposed.
Zhao Yu captured the appearance of the demon. The face of the demon is the same as that of a normal human, but the difference is that it has two fangs sticking out of its mouth, and its eyes are only sockets and no eyeballs.
The demon seemed to notice something, and kept looking back.
Shen Mengting and the others quickly lowered their bodies and curled up behind the stone steps.
"What, did it find us?" Qian Hao grabbed the longbow in his hand.
Shen Mengting shook her head slightly, "I don't know, but I think it's better to hide before talking!"
The demon lying on the edge of the cliff was always waving its head, and its wings were also open and closed.
Zhao Yu lowered his head as much as he could, and he seemed to have stopped his breathing. He didn't dare to look up at the demon for fear of being discovered by the behemoth.
A light breeze swept through the nearby soil, blowing up puffs of dust. Outside a stone step dozens of meters away from the cliff wall, Shen Mengting and the others quietly hid.
The demon searched the area, but it seemed to see only a few lonely stone steps.
Shen Mengting felt that the crisis seemed to be over, so she secretly showed a little forehead, observed the development of the situation a little, and roughly felt that the demon could not see them.
And that's exactly what happened, and the demon stopped swinging its head after sweeping its big rear. It looked anxious, unaware of the potential threat around it. It seemed to be a little angry and bared its fangs, and let out a low roar.
Shen Mengting snorted proudly, "The stinky demon is nothing more than that!"
"yes, we've been here for so long, it hasn't even noticed us. ”
"It seems to be a crappy shove who doesn't have much strength. Shen Mengting smiled completely, she had already focused on the sword behind her, so that she could pull out the sword behind her at any time to kill the enemy.
The demonic strength of Cellos is uneven, this is a fact that everyone knows. Shen Mengting, who has great strength, is not sure, but she is still more or less capable of solving this crappy shoddy goods in front of her.
"Sister Mengting, don't jump to conclusions like that, in case it's a ruthless character!" Jiang Jingwen tried to pull Shen Mengting's arm.
"Miss Xiaowen, please rest assured, your sister Mengting and I will definitely deal with that demon properly, so as to return you to a peaceful Arakawa Town. Qian Hao said and made a gesture of bending over and recommending himself.
"Qian Hao, what are you showing off?" Shen Mengting glared at Qian Hao mercilessly.
But Qian Hao stretched his arms exaggeratedly disappreciatively, "Anyway, it can be solved quickly, isn't it!"
"I know! As long as it makes you a hero, especially in front of girls, you will be extremely excited. ”
"Why do you talk like that!" Qian Hao's chests fell together, obviously holding back a smile.
Everyone seems to have lost the tension they had before, and they are being affected by the mood that everything is ready. Even Zhao Yu felt that the matter would be resolved quickly, so that they could return to Arakawa Town.
However, they didn't get complacent for long. The demon turned its head to search again, its claws on all four limbs forcibly inserted into the rock wall, so that it could fully turn around and not fall off the cliff wall.
Seeing that the demon was searching for them again, Zhao Yu quickly lowered his head again. He slowed down his breathing as much as he could, and he pressed his body against the stone steps.
The demon looked around, then stopped again. However, it then made a puzzling move. The demon sniffed out of thin air at its surroundings, probably because of the strength of its movements, its body shifted a little distance downward.
After that, the demon unleashed a word that was enough to make everyone's scalp tingle.
"There's a human—a human!"
Shen Mengting's relaxed heart suddenly tightened again. Her body floated up and down.
The demon's words obviously mean that someone has already been discovered, but the location is not yet certain. However, Shen Mengting's idea may have been wrong, and the demon quickly aimed at the stone steps where they were hiding.
Shen Mengting suddenly sighed, she pressed down Ben's outstretched head, and even held her breath.
"Human—human!" the demon's mouth opened wide, its voice somewhat magnetic and extremely piercing. It aimed at a protruding stone staircase diagonally below, and raised its mouth to a bloody state, "Human-human!"
"Oh no! it seems to have spotted us!"
As soon as Qian Hao's words fell, the bats on the cliff suddenly reacted. They have gone from lying peacefully on the cliff face to spreading their wings and taking off at any time.
Soon, with a demon's roar, the bats left the cliff as if under a spell.
Due to the sudden movement of the bats, the scene suddenly seemed to become out of control. The sky was full of bats and swarms of bats, as if they were about to obscure the sky.
Seeing that the enemy was attacking, Zhao Yudian was a little confused, he gasped, and looked at Shen Mengting for help.
Shen Mengting suddenly stood up, and quickly pulled out the giant sword behind her back, "Let's go, everyone get out of here first!"
In response to her roar, the four of them quickly ran away from the stone steps. The moment they ran away, a vampire bat slammed into the stone steps, causing them to fall. Not only that, but a large number of bats hovered over everyone's heads, seemingly waiting for the right moment to attack.
The demon still stayed where it was, and it twitched its jaw, "Human-human, nasty human, let's all die!" As the demon's words became clearer, a large number of vampire bats flying in the air began to dive down on the four people underground.
Qian Hao twisted his neck in a panic, and he realized that almost all of his 360-degree range was the flight of bats. It's over, they're already surrounded by bats.
Just as he was thinking about how to escape, a bat swooped down on them. Qian Hao quickly lifted the longbow in his hand, and put his other hand on the bowstring. When he pulled the bowstring, an arrow of light was revealed.
Towards the bat that swooped down at them, Qian Hao twitched the corners of his mouth, "Go die!"
The arrow of light was shot out quickly, and it instantly hit the center of the bat's eyebrows. The bat abruptly ended its dive, and after tilting its head back, it fell weakly to the ground.
Hmph! Call you to be the first bird! Qian Hao scraped the position of his nose and mouth. After shooting the enemy, he angrily shook his face at his companions around him, "Let's go! we need to get out of here quickly! There are too many bats!"
"I know, go, withdraw!" Shen Mengting held the sword in one hand and waved anxiously in the other.
But they were about to run into the distance, but the demon on the cliff wall moved. The demon spread its two huge wings violently, and after a slight wave, it left the cliff wall with its forelimbs propped up.
From a long distance, Zhao Yu could sense the demon's winged airflow. He instinctively closed his eyes, but realized that he was still in danger, and reluctantly opened them quickly.
There are more and more vampire bats flying and circling in the air, and the speed of their flight is also increasing. They seemed to be waiting for an opportunity to kill the three men on the ground.
What should I do?Zhao Yu looked at the staff in his hand, he seemed to be about to forget that he was still a magician.
"Beware! The devil is coming!"
Shen Mengting's roar brought Zhao Yu back to his senses. He then looked overhead, and a shadow was looming over them.
That's the result of the demons flying in the air.
The demon spread its arms to match its equally stretched wings, and as it flew to the heart of the person's head, the demon looked down at the ground.
Zhao Yu's gaze happened to make contact with him, and in an instant, he seemed to sense the existence of hell from the gaze of the demon.
