Volume 11 The Underworld! Chapter 61: A Turning Point
The light flickered softly in the dark night, and a few strange-looking monsters writhed uneasily in the cracks of the rocks. [No pop-ups.]
"Whew!"
Another torch was lit, but the faint light was cold and thin.
Kumoan stuck his patina-stained torch diagonally into the crevice of the rock, the light of the fire was extinguished, and his figure cast a strange shadow on the rock wall.
He grimaced, this was the last torch to keep burning.
I looked at my slender and powerful, but calloused hands, I couldn't help but sigh, recalling the past, he was also a Berndt nobleman, less than five years old with his mother to remarry to a wealthy family, mother and son have suffered a lot of white eyes and bullying since childhood, ** after easy to make friends with a noble lady, but was jealous and put in prison, and ten years ago, if it wasn't for the fact that he found a legendary strange stone slab on the wall of the prison, he was able to come to this strange underground world.
Originally, he was at a loss in the face of the strange world underground, but he picked up an adventurer's backpack by luck, which contained a lot of belongings and magic crystals in addition to the map, which allowed him to successfully reach a city of black elves, if it wasn't for a coincidence, maybe he could only accompany those piled up dry bones.
Since then, his life has been smooth sailing, relying on his profound knowledge and agility to become a hunter in the underworld, traveling to various treacherous underground lairs to hunt strange monsters.
This time, he set his sights on a rare demon bat, which was originally only a creature in the abyss world, and he didn't know how to run to the realm of Drow's rule, but this kind of magic beast can produce a steady stream of black mist, which is loved by the black elf nobles, and if one can be captured, it will definitely be sold for a good price.
However, this is also where the world's affairs come in.
Just as he was enthusiastically following the clues of the Demon Bat, he accidentally fell into a large collapsed pit. He lost his way in the cobweb-covered corridor, lost most of his belongings, and lost his excitement and excitement at first. All that remains is fear and hesitation.
That's when it happened. The torch shook violently a few times, and then went out with a "snort".
Kumoan didn't give up on the idea of survival, he took a deep breath and muttered a few more incantations. Gradually, there were some subtle changes in my body.
If an underground creature were to stand in front of him at this moment, he would be surprised to find that his eyes had turned gray, and his skin was as pale and dry as the rocks around him.
The originally dim world suddenly became different, and it was very clear in front of you.
The uneven rough rock wall formed an arched cavern, and the mouth of the cave was covered with white mist, which was hazy and invisible. On his cheeks, he could feel the cool dampness, and the lumpy rocks under his feet seemed to be broken and then piled up haphazardly, sloping high and low. It stretched forward irregularly, and from time to time there were cold edges and corners popping out abruptly. Unknown moss-like creatures clinging to the bark-like rock textures, emitting a faint blue light.
Kumoan breathed a sigh of relief, admiring his wise decision in his heart, and spent most of his savings over the years to cast a sacrifice on the Ross Altar, which allowed his earth body to obtain the blood of the black elves at a critical moment and use all the laws of the underground world.
Although this ability will be automatically withdrawn once he returns to the Black Elf Land City, he has not yet realized that he is a caveman here.
But until then, he won't go back empty-handed. That demon bat is going to be caught no matter what.
His sense of smell and detection of moisture had never been better. After discerning the smell for a moment, he walked swiftly along the deep corridor. His body is light and agile, and the rocks that were originally pitted are unhindered to him, like walking on flat ground.
The low ceiling of the cave created a deep sense of depression, and if it were an ordinary person wandering in this silent darkness, he would have already had a nervous breakdown.
There was a low roar in his ears, and his nervous senses were so developed that he could tell that the voice was a thousand meters away from him, and it was fleeing at a rapid speed.
The nose discerns the fishy smell of the water vapor in the air, and yes, it is the same thing left by the demon bat.
He followed the clues left closely, and soon, a vast cave hall appeared in front of him, the beehive-like cave entrances were all over the rock walls that could not be seen at the top, gradually disappearing into the darkness, one after another thick rock pillars seemed to bear the responsibility of supporting the hall, and the visual difference of the hollow in the distance contrasted strongly with the deep and obscure oppressive feeling in the cave, indicating that there was a larger underground space there.
Kumoan's place was a cliff that jutted out of the hole, and there was only a path leading down to the bottom, and in such a labyrinthine underground world, it was indeed not easy for ordinary people to find a clear path.
He was carefully observing the clues that the demon bat might have left behind, and suddenly, as if he had noticed it, he turned around, and something seemed to flash in the distance, and soon disappeared into the darkness beyond his sight.
He was startled, and took two steps back vigilantly, the thing he felt too dangerous, and even though it was only a glance, he could feel that it was much larger than himself.
He turned sharply from behind him, only to find that it was just an echo of silence on the stone walls of the cave.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank sharply, and when he felt the thing approaching him at a rapid speed, the sound of the wind had already reached his body.
At this critical moment, he moved forward with his body with agility, and then propped his hands and kicked his feet upwards vigorously. Kicking out a soft part, then brushing forward a few rolls, the sequence of movements in terms of speed and power seems to have been rehearsed countless times.
He turned around to see that a humanoid creature resembling a bat was staggering backwards with its eyes covered, and then leaped forward, and the bat's wings behind him "brushed" out, gliding around the outside of the cliff, and then pounced on him, and let out an unpleasant scream at him, and a shockwave that was discernible to the naked eye spread.
"Not good!"
Kumoan screamed in fright, clutching his ears and dodging to the side. I wailed in my heart.
Originally, he only wanted to capture an ordinary demon bat, but he didn't expect to find it, but it was one that he couldn't deal with. His rich experience made him immediately recognize that this was a rare Demon Bat King, and even if he came to thirty or fifty, he could only become the other party's food.
"Boom!"
The stone wall was littered with debris, and the sharp sound waves shook Kumoan's chest and made him dizzy. Involuntarily took a few steps back, tripped over the undulating rocks behind him, and fell on the cold, hard rock, causing him to grin in pain.
After this toss, he found himself in a small cave with no way out around, and he fell into panic and fear.
"Whew!"
The wind was blowing, and the Demon Bat King blocked the entrance to the cave. The bare, ugly head stretched forward, and in protest at him, it opened its mouth wide at him, revealing its sharp fangs.
Kumoan is a spirit. Ignoring the pain of the friction between his back and Shi Ling, he rolled back and distanced himself from the Demon Bat King.
The Demon Bat King suddenly showed a humanized expression, and his kicked eyes were glowing red. Looking at Kumoan with a playful look, it seemed to be interested, and looked at the desperate creature in front of it, ready to torture the prey that had brought pain to itself.
Kumoan's head was covered in cold sweat, but he wasn't ready to sit still, and despite the horror on his face, he dragged his heavy body backwards step by step, looking for a possible opportunity to escape.
The cave is not wide. The small space can only accommodate two people in parallel. The monster retracted its wings and burrowed into the cavern, its massive size unable to stand upright. He could only crawl down, crawling forward on all fours.
The cave was dark, and only the glimmer of light was obscured by the massive figure.
The Demon Bat King does not rely entirely on his eyes to perceive his opponent, his keen sense of hearing clearly tells him that the prey is ahead, and it is only a few steps away from touching it.
But whenever it was time to catch the prey, the other party always happened to go in a little more, and the Demon Bat King had to move forward again, and after a few times, it did not realize that it had gone deep into the interior of the cave, and the cave walls on both sides formed a narrow pass with a bottleneck.
However, the prey was so close that it seemed to be licked with its tongue out, and the batacore arched its head anxiously, hissing and growling, and kept shrinking its body and trying to squeeze it in, and before it knew it, its body had completely lost its space to stretch under the pressure of the hard rock wall.
Kumoan was so nervous that his breath became so rapid that he had never been so nervous in his years of hunting.
Quietly holding the cold steel knife that he had obtained from the adventurer a long time ago, he gathered all his strength and looked at the monster that had already leaned out half of his body and stabbed it fiercely!
"Click!"
Kumoan was so frightened that he was out of his body, he never expected that the back of the Cold Steel Knife was actually firmly bitten by the Demon Bat King!
The Demon Bat King glared at him grimly, as if with a sly smile, his shoulders swayed, and he squeezed the shackles around him with all his might, admiring the desperate expression of his prey up close.
Kumoan's face turned pale, it turned out that the Demon Bat King was just playing tricks on himself just now, and he was stupid enough to calculate the other party.
But he was not reconciled!
Kumoan hoarsely prayed to the gods, and though he didn't know which god it was, he swore that he had never been so devout in his life as he was now.
The Demon Bat King showed a mocking expression, but the next moment, it showed a look of extreme horror, twisting its body desperately, no longer caring about the prey in front of it, and desperately retreating outward.
First, a faint light flashed behind it, and then, the light grew brighter and brighter, almost threatening to melt the entire dark world.
The Demon Bat King let out a terrible roar, crawling faster and faster, but he could not escape the final judgment.
"Boom!"
A piercing light pierced through the entire cave in an instant, and the Demon Bat King's body was torn into countless pieces in this dazzling light.
Kumoan was dizzy from the bright light, and he vaguely heard someone talking, was it an illusion......
"Senior brother, after walking for three days, I finally saw a living person. ”
"Well, hopefully haven't been bitten to death yet. ”
I'm not dead......
That was Kumoan's only thought before he fainted.
