The thunder seemed to be louder again, and Zhao Yu touched his ears directly. He didn't know if it was a delusion or a reality, but every thunder in the sky made his hairs stand on end.

He looked down on both sides vigilantly, and when the afterglow swept to Shen Mengting behind him, he was shocked by the sharp gaze from behind.

"What's wrong with you?"

There was a sense of fluctuation on the horseback, and Zhao Yu also heard Shen Mengting's question behind him.

"Ahh......h That ......" Zhao Yu was passing his head.

"Say what you think!"

"No, I just think ......" Zhao Yu tilted his head to the side slightly, "Do you have to go there to see what is going on?"

"Wow! I guess this kid is scared!" Qian Hao suddenly interjected.

Although Zhao Yu, who was ridiculed, was a little unconvinced, he knew that Qian Hao did not say the wrong thing. Therefore, he did not have too many emergency responses.

"Don't be so afraid, don't be so afraid, I'm here!" Qian Hao smiled, "Even if you don't believe me, don't you still have your sister Shen Mengting?"

Shen Mengting quickly glanced at Qian Hao angrily, but it was only a second, and she refocused her gaze on the front, "Of course you can't ignore it! In the land of Salan, as long as there is a little 'crisis', I will take care of it!"

So, under her speech, the speed of everyone's horses became faster.

As he approached the dark cloud, Zhao Yu felt his hairs stand on end. No, it should be said that although they are approaching, the dark cloud is also expanding towards them.

Zhao Yu swallowed a mouthful of bitter saliva as if it were in his throat.

At this time, there was a sudden movement in the sky, and everyone quickly looked up. A swarm of bats flew toward the cloud.

"Wow! What a scene......" Even Qian Hao, who had always been a little calm, couldn't help but exclaim, "What happened over there?"

"What happened to you, you won't know until you go! Didn't you just say it?" Shen Mengting squinted her eyes.

"Sister Mengting, it's going to be fine!"

"Don't worry, Xiaowen! won't be a big deal. Shen Mengting lowered her eyelids. However, although she said it so surely, she had no confidence in her heart.

It's not just an anomaly in the weather, if a large group of bats suddenly gathers, it must indicate that something has appeared in a certain area. In that case, it is necessary to go there to investigate the solution below - this is Shen Mengting's current thoughts.

Just as she was thinking, another swarm of bats flew in the sky on the right slope. They flapped their wings as if they were approaching the clouds without hesitation.

"This ......" Zhao Yu unconsciously grew his mouth.

But before he could sigh any more, there was suddenly a small shadow on the sky on the left sideline, and with the frolicking sound getting closer and closer, Zhao Yu knew that it was a group of bats approaching again.

In fact, just as he thought, the small shadow dot quickly turned into a large shadow ball. The shadows are getting bigger and bigger, and I know that I can see the small individuals inside. They are bats that are next to each other, flying wildly towards the dark clouds.

"Look, Sister Mengting!" Jiang Jingwen suddenly pointed to a certain position above their right diagonal side.

Another large mass of bats flew sideways towards the dark clouds.

This...... This...... Zhao Yu had already found himself speechless. It wasn't until he came back to his senses that he realized that there seemed to be a steady stream of bats approaching around the dark clouds.

"Ah......" Zhao Yu called out in confusion.

"Wow! It seems to be a lot!" Qian Hao pursed his mouth.

Crowds of bats are 'merging' with the clouds, as if they were gathering from all over the world.

"It's definitely not easy!Let's go!Let's take a look!" Shen Mengting immediately pulled up the reins of the horse.

The horses quickly sped up a lot, and as Shen Mengting galloped, Qian Hao and Jiang Jingwen also followed closely.

They got closer and closer to the dark clouds, until they were completely under the care of the dark clouds.

Zhao Yu raised his head and found that he seemed to have a layer of pitch-black rags hanging above his head. Corresponding to the scene, the surrounding light immediately dimmed a lot. He felt as if he was surrounded by a dark layer of moisture.

"This dark cloud layer can never be formed naturally. Shen Mengting raised her head and said.

"Yes, I think so too. Qian Hao's current expression is extremely serious, which is extremely incompatible with his slick image. However, because the atmosphere was so dull and tense now, it seemed reasonable for him to do so, "I feel as if there is a force calling those bats to make them approach madly." ”

Qian Hao's Zhao Yu was suddenly shocked-there is a force? So, what is the power?

"Do you feel that way too?" the corners of Shen Mengting's mouth crooked.

"Sister Mengting, what's going on?"

Shen Mengting glanced at Jiang Jingwen, who was asking, "I guess that this dark cloud is emitted by a stream of energy, and this energy is the key to pulling the bats to gather. ”

"Huh, what?" Jiang Jingwen exaggeratedly covered her mouth.

"Don't worry! You don't have to be afraid! I'm here!" Qian Hao pointed at himself violently, and his face actually returned to his previous hippie smile.

"Qian Hao, now is not the time to laugh and scold!" Shen Mengting squinted at Qian Hao, who was speaking.

Qian Hao has reined in a lot when he heard this.

Since the cliffs are in a wrapping pattern, they can't see the Gobi scene a little farther away. But as they walked towards the center of the dark clouds, Zhao Yu felt that they were already very close to the center of the incident.

Continue walking along the cliff wall. Soon, they saw that bats had begun to inhabit the bare cliff face.

The bats that inhabit it are quite stable, and their bodies are clinging to the cliff face. They seemed to be sleeping, their wings and heads pressed against the cliff wall. If you don't look closely, you think they're sucking something.

Zhao Yu straightened up as if resisting, but since the horse he was riding was not under his control, he could only let it continue to move forward.

"Sure enough, the bat is looking for some kind of energy!" Shen Mengting said in an affirmative tone, and in addition to her incomparably sharp gaze, there was a hint of provocative danger in it.

"It's getting closer to the truth. Shen Mengting waved her hand again and sped up the horse's speed.

Indeed, as we continued to walk, there were more and more bats on the cliff walls, from a few scattered to densely packed and full of them.

Zhao Yu once again showed a look of surprise. However, when he closed his gaze, he realized what these bats were one by one.

Contrary to what he remembered, the bats that suddenly gathered seemed to be much larger. After about visual inspection, the size of a single bat is about half a meter. However, if the length of their wings is calculated horizontally, it may be enough to cover a meter.

What is the concept of one meter? It is about half a human height! Zhao Yu's eyes revealed a little fear. He was wondering if he could win against a bat of this style.

Just when a strange thought appeared in Zhao Yu's heart, the horse suddenly stopped. He was almost knocked to the ground by the rapid movement that suddenly stopped. With his hands firmly grasping the neck of the horse in front of him, he was able to stabilize his body.

He wanted to go back and blame Shen Mengting for something, but Zhao Yu didn't have the courage. Moreover, Shen Mengting's face now has an unprecedented sense of seriousness. Not only her, but also other Qian Hao and Jiang Jingwen.

Zhao Yu followed everyone's gaze timidly and looked at a certain location on the cliff. Suddenly, he gasped. He can understand why everyone is so serious.

On the cliff wall about a few meters high, a large guy was lying on his stomach with his hair upright. The reason why it is called the 'big guy' is mainly because it is more than a little bigger than the bats that are also afraid of the surrounding ones. No, it should be said that even if you want to compare with them humans, they are much bigger.

This 'big guy', with a body of almost four or five meters, is a complete behemoth!

What is this big guy, Zhao Yu couldn't tell for a while. But he knew it had to be nothing.

If you look closely, the big guy has something in common with the dense bats around it, that is, it has wings that are wider than its body!

Could it be ...... Is this big guy a bat too? just bigger than the others, or is it the leader of the bat colony?

Zhao Yu's breath was almost held for breath. After the big guy's wings shifted his gaze, he finally looked at the 'big guy's head. It seems to be the back of a human head, but the difference is that its head is completely hairless, it is completely bare, and both of its ears seem to be unusually long, almost pointed to the top of the head.

This...... Zhao Yu felt that he couldn't breathe again. He continued to observe the unknown 'big guy' and found that it had the same legs as a human, but it was bent and stretched because it was lying vertically. As for its two arms, they are not visible because of the obscuration of their wings.

"Look, I'll just say there's a force!" Shen Mengting suddenly spoke, "It seems that the energy that attracted so many bats was sent by this demon." ”

'Demon'?" Zhao Yu seemed to hear an extremely novel word.

"Okay, let's all get off the horse!" Shen Mengting seemed to give orders. Corresponding to her clean tone, Qian Hao and Jiang Jingwen all quickly dismounted.

Zhao Yu was a little confused, and looked blankly at the people who were acting.

"Zhao Yu, you come down first! We can't ride a horse to get close to that thing, the sound of horses' hooves will wake up that group of monsters!" Shen Mengting said sternly.

Zhao Yu hurriedly got off the horse.

Shen Mengting calmed down the horses of Nasa and began to get closer to the monster.

Zhao Yu's heart was full of questions, he needed to clarify what the 'demon' that Shen Mengting just talked about was. But the problem rolled in his chest for a long time, and he didn't have the courage to release it.

Fortunately, Jiang Jingwen asked one step ahead, and Zhao Yu listened obediently beside her.

"Sister Mengting, you just said that the huge object is a demon?"

"Yes, it's a demon, maybe! The energy is what it emits, and that's why it attracts so many 'vampire bats'!"

There is a new term, and Zhao Yu now knows the specific names of these bats. He thought that no wonder they were all three times larger than ordinary bats, they turned out to be ferocious 'vampire bats'!

"But...... Why does it emit the energy that makes bats flock?"

"I don't know yet, but ......" Shen Mengting frowned, "'Demons' are the most cunning and rare race in Cellos, and what they do must not be very good!...... We have to be more careful!" she said, and nodded to Qian Hao.

"Then let's take a look now! I've long wanted to see the power of the so-called demons!" Qian Hao sneered from the bottom of his heart.

So they began to walk towards the place where the demon was lying.

Zhao Yu watched them move forward, and he also shrunk his neck and quietly followed.

Shen Mengting's appearance is extremely alert, her steps seem to have been reduced to complete silence, although she still looks very aggressive, but in fact she is extremely delicate. The other two have the same trend.

Their caution made Zhao Yu a little panicked, and he could only touch on his toes

Almost a few dozen meters away from the cliff wall, there is a stone staircase about one meter high that can be sheltered. Shen Mengting lowered her body and dodged. Her entire body was hidden behind the stone steps, and she slowly poked her head out.

The other three came to her neighborhood in the same way.

"It looks like it's sleeping!" Shen Mengting rushed forward, with a wicked smile on her face.

"Why is it here?" said Qian Hao, who placed his hands on the top of the stone steps, and spoke in a tone that almost did not shake the Adam's apple.

"I don't know, but I think I'll figure it out if I look at it for a while!"

"Huh, how do you say that?"

"What do you think!" Shen Mengting turned her face to Qian Hao, "This demon has summoned so many bats, isn't it just to do something? So, we just have to wait. ”

Qian Hao seemed to have a desire to think about it, so he continued to observe the 'demon'.

Zhao Yu looked around a few times, and then looked up at the sky again. In that dim sky, there seemed to be a constant flickering scene like lightning and thunder.

Zhao Yu swallowed another mouthful of saliva into his throat, and with his irregular breath, he released a cowardly gaze at the big guy named 'Demon'.

Time is slowly passing, and Jiang Jingwen's words make everyone's spirits tense a lot.

"Huh, have you noticed? What do those bats seem to be doing?" Jiang Jingwen casually pointed at a certain bat.

Indeed, as she said, the bats have been swinging back and forth, probably because of the relationship between their backs and a little distance, and no one noticed this phenomenon just now.

"Well, they're ......," Shen Mengting half-stood up.

"Are you absorbing something?" asked Qian Hao.

"Stupid! the cliffs are all sandy, what is there to absorb?"

"But aren't they just doing the act of sucking things up with their mouths?" Qian Hao's finger pointed firmly at the cliff ahead.

Zhao Yu's eyes widened, and he found that the bats were indeed doing a 'sucking action', no wonder they were lying on the cliff wall just now, and they all looked like they were sucking something.

"I know that, but the key is why do they want to absorb the sand that has no nutritional value?" Shen Mengting glanced at Qian Hao.

"Sister Mengting! I've heard my father talk about it before. It is said that trees survive by absorbing nutrients from their roots that are inserted into the ground!"

"Oh, what's wrong with that?"

"So, the soil on the ground, which seems to have no nutritional value, can provide nourishment for the trees. Wouldn't these sandy cliffs provide something for bats?"

Shen Mengting's eyes seemed to be stretched, and she suddenly turned her head to look at the cliff, "Yes!" After a few seconds of surprise, she returned to normal, "But...... What are they sucking into? As far as I know, bats can't feed on sand."

Zhao Yu thought about it, even a person like him with shallow knowledge knew what bats relied on for a living. Even if it is not a meat eater, it is a vegetarian species that eats the leaves of grass on the ground. How is it possible to live by eating some sand?

"Sister Mengting! You may look like a desert with no nutrients, but in fact there is an enticing substance in the depths?"

"Really?"

"At first glance, the dirt on the ground is a pile of useless things. But the roots of the trees absorb the nutrients. So I'm sure they must be on the precipice asking for something!"

"That's right! That's right!" Qian Hao suddenly became excited, and he seemed to be about to applaud.

Shen Mengting glanced at Qian Hao angrily, and then looked at Jiang Jingwen. Of course, when she looked at Jiang Jingwen, Shen Mengting's eyes were full of comfort.

"So, what are they asking for?"

"I don't know yet, but I'm sure the place they're looking at right now must be this cliff. There must also be something on the cliffs for them. Jiang Jingwen's tone was almost categorical.

"Really?" Shen Mengting twisted her neck and looked at the cliff again.

"If that's the case, then how do we deal with it?" asked Qian Hao.

"We ......"

Just as Shen Mengting was about to reply, the huge demon suddenly moved. Because of its sheer size, it makes all objects, including the bats that flock from all over the place, react.

The demon's wings suddenly changed from stationary to spread. The huge air currents it created kept the bats around it going. Even Zhao Yu's side could feel its momentum.

As if a storm swept by, Zhao Yu opened his eyes quickly after closing his eyes slightly.

After the demon spread its wings, it looked like it was getting bigger again. Of course, this also exposes its two arms. It seems to be no different from a human, with two strong and powerful arms. But the difference is that the demon has sharp claws on his hands, which should be the key to his ability to grasp the cliff.

"Ah......h

A low roar was heard, and the demon's head looked up to the sky. At the same time, the bats around them all changed their appearance, and their appearance of absorbing any movement stopped, and instead let out a high-pitched and abrupt call.

Zhao Yu felt that the formation was like supporting the boss.

The demon roared again, and the bats screamed even more harshly.

For a moment, the plain was filled with strange roars.
