Volume 5 Qinling Evil Charm Chapter 449 Vampire Bat
There was a small platform of two or three square meters on the top of the rock, and at the end of the platform there was suddenly a narrow cave entrance.
The entrance of the cave slopes from the bottom to the left, and its length is more than two meters, but the widest bottom is only about 30 centimeters, which is only enough for one person to squeeze into it sideways. So at first glance, it doesn't look like a cave entrance, but like a large crack between the rocks.
A group of ten people crowded on the two or three square stone rock platforms, and Master Qiu took out the map again and looked at it again, and said: "I can be sure that this stone cave is not an immortal cave, but after passing from here, it should not be far from the immortal cave!"
"Then what are we waiting for, let's go in directly!" Huang Mingliang said.
Because the cave was too narrow, Huang Mingliang took off the backpack on his back and held it in his hand, and held the pistol in the other hand, so he was about to squeeze sideways through the narrow cave entrance, and Bai Yang hurriedly grabbed him.
"I'll open the way with Tie Niu in front, and you will follow behind!"
Huang Mingliang knew that he would not let himself be in danger in front of him, and said: "I have a pistol in my hand, even if I meet the man in black, he may not be able to hurt me!"
"I know!" Poplar nodded, "but I don't think there will be a man in black in this cave, but probably the kind of human creatures I saw before!
He still meant to ask Huang Mingliang not to shoot as much as possible, and Huang Mingliang was about to answer, but Poplar had already squeezed in front of him, also unloaded his backpack and carried it in his hand, and got into it through the narrow hole with one side.
Huang Mingliang had no choice but to wait for the Iron Bull to follow the poplar into it before he followed behind the Iron Bull.
The others also squeezed sideways into the entrance of the cave in turn, only to find that the cave was very narrow, but when they got inside, it was very spacious.
The group of people each took out their helmets with lights and put them on, and looked carefully into the cave.
But I saw that the cave was sloping downward, and it was impossible to detect how deep it was.
It's not that there are stalactites that block the view, in fact, there is not a single stalactite in sight as far as the eye can see.
However, the top and bottom of the cave are high and low, convex and uneven.
So much so that the top and bottom are more than three meters away from the highest point, but the lowest point is not even one meter.
Fortunately, the width of the cave is limited, otherwise once you enter it, you may get lost in the cave and not be able to get out.
"This cave looks like a labyrinth, and I don't know if there will be a fork in it, everyone follows me closely, don't get scattered! If you walk behind, it's best to mark it, so that if you can't get out, at least we can exit the same way!" Poplar exclaimed.
Everyone felt that he was reasonable, including Master Qiu, who agreed loudly.
Poplar said to Tie Niu again: "You follow me!" Grabbing the black sword in one hand, he took the lead in bypassing a protruding and narrow place in front of him, and quickly advanced forward.
The cave was really like a labyrinth, often walking and walking, facing a huge bulge that made people wonder whether to go left or right.
However, the cave was full of solid rock, and there were no footprints of the previous humanoid on the ground. Poplar can only rely on his instinct and try to walk along the more spacious places.
Just like this, he walked for more than twenty minutes when he was bending and turning, and he didn't know how far he was ahead, when Poplar suddenly had a very bad feeling and hurriedly raised a hand, signaling the people behind him to stop moving forward and not to speak.
"What's wrong?" asked Iron Bull, who was following him closely.
Poplar shook his head, just concentrating on feeling as much as he could.
But before he could feel it clearly, someone behind him suddenly exclaimed, "What is it? What is it?"
The person in front immediately looked back and looked back, and the person behind looked up.
Sure enough, a dark shadow shook in mid-air, and then hid behind a protruding rock at the top of the cave.
"What's that?" asked the youngest Li Daoren.
"Stop screaming, keep quiet!" Master Qiu snorted, successfully closing the mouths of several mountain pioneers.
"What the hell is it? Is Master Qiu opening the door clearly?" asked Xiang Aiguo.
Master Qiu's face had changed, and he had to take a breath before he lowered his voice and said slowly: "It's a ...... Bats!"
"Bats?" Iron Bull couldn't help but cried out, "That shadow just now spread its wings like an eagle, how can there be such a big bat in the sky?"
Iron Bull was right, just now Poplar also saw the shadow, although not necessarily the size of an eagle, but compared to a pigeon with open wings.
Not wanting Tie Niu to scream like this, Master Qiu's face turned even bluer, and he suppressed his voice and shouted: "Don't scream so loudly! I look very much like the legendary vampire bat, and once the vampire bat is disturbed by the sound, it will immediately attack people!"
Everyone involuntarily let out a soft "ah". Only Tie Niu looked at this and that, and saw that everyone, including Bai Yang, was full of horror, and couldn't help but ask again: "What the hell...... How powerful is this vampire bat? It can't be more terrifying than that blue-fire crow, right?"
He looked at Poplar with both eyes. Poplar shook his head and said softly, "It's not as terrifying as the Blue Fire Crow, but ...... It's not too far!"
Tie Niu let out an "ah", and couldn't help but open his mouth wide and couldn't close it.
It turns out that most people have only heard of vampire bats, but have never seen them in person.
Legend has it that these bats are not only large in size, but also extremely aggressive, and when disturbed by people, they will swarm and besiege people or animals, and will cling to people or animals to suck blood.
What's even more terrifying is that this bat saliva contains a terrifying virus, even if people or animals are not sucked dry of blood by them, they will go crazy in a short period of time, and will attack other humans.
And once someone is attacked by the sick person, they will also be infected with this virus, and they will also go crazy in a short time. Eventually, all those who became ill died of self-mutilation or bled to death.
Poplar had long heard of the vampire bat, and according to his thoughts, the virus contained in the saliva of the vampire bat was probably the rabies virus.
After all, the symptoms of people who have been attacked by vampire bats are too similar to the symptoms of rabies.
It's just that vampire bats are basically hidden deep in the mountains, and once humans are attacked by them, it is difficult to rush to the hospital within 24 hours for vaccination, and in the end, they will naturally die.
It took two or three days for a group of ten of them to walk here from outside the mountain, and if someone was really attacked by a vampire bat, it would be impossible for them to walk outside the mountain and rush to the hospital for vaccination within 24 hours.
It's no wonder that Master Qiu's face is full of fright, and Bai Yang can't help but feel a chill all over his body at this moment.
"Master Qiu is right, legend has it that vampire bats are extremely sensitive to sound, from now on, let's try not to make any sound, and get out of this cave as quickly as possible!" Bai Yang said, naturally the sound was kept to a minimum.
Zuo Protector couldn't help but speak: "It is said that vampire bats are afraid of fire and smoke, so we knew that before we entered the cave, we should have put up a few torches before coming in!"
"It's not nonsense, let's keep quiet and hurry up!" Master Qiu replied irritably.
The crowd stopped talking, but walked forward closely behind Poplar, and even the sound of footsteps was inaudible.
