Chapter 18: The Death of the Bat
Whew.
The cold wind kept slapping on Lin Xiu's face, and looking at the bottomless abyss under his body, Lin Xiu regretted his previous decision a little at the moment.
"My lord, we are already halfway there, and we can get over if we hold on a little longer. While Chris cheered Lin Xiu up, he also suppressed his restless emotions.
"Hmm. Lin Xiu replied with a pale face, and now he only had one thought in his heart, he must add protective nets on both sides of the suspension bridge.
"Chirp~"
"There's something. ”
Under Li Yan's reminder, the five people on the bridge stopped moving forward and looked around nervously.
"That's a blood bat!" Brooke felt his scalp tingle when he saw the dense red eyes on the top of his head that were approaching quickly.
"Run. ”
Walking in the front, Chris immediately ran, and the flickering flames made it difficult for everyone to see the road under their feet.
"Li Yan, let me go quickly. Mavis began to struggle.
Click!
In a hurry, Lin Xiu accidentally stepped on a broken wooden plank, and his figure immediately fell.
"Your Excellency. ”
"The village chief. ”
"Brother!"
The cold wind sliced Lin Xiu's cheeks, but what made him feel more panicked than the pain was the sight that was about to disappear into darkness.
Lin Xiu raised his head, and the flickering light in Chris's hand quickly turned into a small dot.
If Heaven could give him another chance, he would not have set foot on this suspension bridge that had fallen into disrepair.
It's a pity that there are no ifs.
The wind was too strong, Lin Xiu couldn't breathe a little, his brain slowly ran out of oxygen, and his speed of thinking also slowed down.
Is this what death feels like?
This is Lin Xiu's second experience of death, the last time the death came too suddenly, this time he had the opportunity to experience it carefully, but the process was so grinding.
He still has a lot of things to do, he still has a lot of things to say, he is reluctant to die, but he is powerless to recover.
The extravagant hope in my heart and the beauty in my heart finally turned into a silent farewell.
Goodbye Mayvis, although I recognize you as a sister, but I have no time to teach you anything before I can leave, maybe no brother will be more failed than me, right?
Thank you Chris for your dedication, you are the best guardian knight.
Li Yan, don't be so serious usually, you have to laugh more to make others like it.
Barton, sorry for not fixing your physical problems for you.
And, there's...
Lin Xiu still had a lot to say, but his brain couldn't turn anymore, and the lack of oxygen made his eyelids extremely heavy.
"Wow!"
The falling figure paused, and Lin Xiu seemed to have stepped on something.
"Chirp!"
Lin Xiu opened his eyes, he could feel that he had stopped falling, and there was something supporting him to rise.
What is it?
Reborn in a desperate situation, Lin Xiu had indescribable joy in his heart.
The other side of the suspension bridge.
Everyone looked at the abyss worriedly.
"It's over, it's over, the village chief is gone, Hammond is really done this time. Brooke was in a hurry.
"Mayvis, do those bats really work?" Chris sat anxiously on his knees, half leaning out of the cliff and looking beneath the abyss.
Mayvis clenched her fists, only the whites of her eyes staring into the abyss, the sweat on her forehead falling down.
"Brooke, be quiet, don't bother Mavis to cast spells, I can sense that the adults are okay now. Li Yan stared closely at the bottom of the abyss, and he was also a little worried in his heart.
When Lin Xiu fell into the abyss, the group of blood bats happened to rush in front of them, and at that time, Mei Weisi let out a scream, and the group of blood bats paused, and then collectively rushed towards the abyss.
In order to allow Mei Weisi to cast spells better, Li Yan stepped to the opposite side of the suspension bridge in a few steps, and this was the scene just now.
"Chirp!"
Lin Xiu finally saw the bright light above his head, and with the help of the faint light of the torch, he glanced at the blood bats the size of palms under him, which actually formed a bat cloud, carrying him upward.
And that chirping sound was the mournful sound of an unbearable weight on the back of the blood bat.
Back to the ground.
Mei Weisi gasped and looked at Lin Xiu, who came back unharmed, with a smile on her face, waved her hand, and flew away with the blood bats that Lin Xiu had come up.
"My lord, Chris didn't protect my lord well, please punish him!" Chris came to Lin Xiu's body.
He couldn't tell the self-blame in his heart, if he didn't run so fast, maybe he would be able to pull Lin Xiu back when he fell, if he could react a little faster, or think a little more thoughtfully, the adult would not encounter such a danger.
If Miss Mayvis hadn't taken control of the blood bats this time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"This time it's just an accident, don't take it personally. Lin Xiu patted Chris's shoulder and comforted him, then looked at Mei Weisi, who was sitting on the ground resting: "Thank you, I didn't expect you to be able to control the blood bat." ”
Lin Xiu remembered that Mei Weisi's profession was a white bone sacrifice, but he didn't expect that she could also control living creatures.
"They are not blood bats, their form is more inclined to be infected by death air, and their bodies that act only instinctively, if I have to describe them, they should be called dead bats. Mayvis patted the dust off her pajamas and got up from the ground, "It would be easier to control them if I used the Skull Staff." ”
Under Lin Xiu's arrangement, Mei Weisi was still wearing pajamas, and she herself didn't expect that she would come to the secret realm to fight in the middle of the night, so she didn't change her clothes.
And Li Yan and Chris's equipment is because of the professional characteristics of the two, basically except for the time when they sleep, both of them will wear professional clothes.
"You are a white bone sacrifice, then this should be your home field, what do you think?" Lin Xiu looked at the black passage in front of him that was propped up with a wooden frame, and he was a little unsure whether he would continue to walk.
"There's a lot of dead air here, and if I'm guessing right, there should be a very powerful guy in the deepest part of this secret realm. Mei Wei thought for a moment and said.
"Can you deal with it?" Lin Xiu asked.
"I haven't hit, I don't know. "Although Mavis's level is not high, she majored in necromancy, and in this home field, she can't say anything like cowardice before a fight.
"My lord, do you still want to move forward?" happened to an accident just after entering the door, and Chris couldn't help but worry that there would be a bigger crisis ahead.
Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, "Let's go and take a look, there is Mei Weisi, even if we can't deal with the monsters inside, but if we want to leave, I don't think the other party can keep us." ”
Admittedly, whether it's the lame walking corpse or the kind of creature that resembles a blood bat, the single attack is not very strong, not even comparable to a goblin warrior.
With such a little brother here, this boss must not be much stronger.
"I'll take the lead. Chris took out his shield and blocked Lin Xiu behind him, this time, he swore to protect Lin Xiu.
The firelight lit up the passage, and the passage, which was less than three meters wide, was wet and cracking, giving people a very bad feeling, and if there were walking corpses coming out of the walls, I was afraid that a fierce battle would break out.
Before entering the passage, in the middle of the team, Brooke rubbed his stomach and made an exaggerated ouch sound: "Village Chief, I suddenly have some stomach pain, I want to go back first." ”
"Then you'll wait here, and we'll come to you when we're done. Lin Xiu rubbed his temples and had a headache, and some people retreated at the beginning.
The gate of the secret realm can only be opened once a day, and there is only one chance to leave, so it is impossible for him to help Brooke leave, and then stay in this secret realm for a day.
What had happened in the Blackstone Goblin tribe had made him think that Brooke was a tough man, but now it seemed that this old boy had spared his life.
Brooke thought of the dead bat just now, his eyes widened, and he pretended to be surprised and stood up: "Village Chief, I feel that I am fine, and my stomach does not hurt at all, this is really strange." ”
Lin Xiu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Let's go." ”
