Chapter 1437: The Resurrected Volcano (II.)
"Josson! Come back! Peter suddenly cried out.
Qiao Sen's reaction was also very fast, not forgetting Nikolai's teachings at the critical moment, holding a sword in his right hand and a shield in his left arm, and retreating away from the two strange fire bats, avoiding exposing his back to the other party.
The two fire bats circled in the air, seemed to be aware of Qiao Sen, flapped their wings left and right, and chased after Qiao Sen in a blink of an eye, and suddenly pounced on him.
"Get out of here!" Qiao Sen decisively swung out a small round shield and knocked away the fire bat that was the first to pounce in front of him, and at the same time stabbed the fire bat flying from the bottom to the other side with his right hand sword - the opportunity to make a move was good, but before the short sword could stab the fire bat, it was engulfed in the flames wrapped in the opponent's body.
Qiao Sen felt a burning pain in his arm, and hurriedly put away his sword and retreated, and the fire bat took the opportunity to pounce up, biting his arm and not letting go. The flames around him sprayed at Qiao Sen with high-speed flapping wings, instantly igniting his entire arm, and the flames quickly spread around him.
Qiao Sen shook his right arm in pain, but he couldn't get rid of the bite of the fire bat, and hurriedly freed his left hand to try to tear the murderous monster away from him, but before he could touch the fire bat, he was so hot that he was forced to withdraw his hand.
Seeing that Jossen was entangled by fire bats, Peter and Nikolai rushed up almost at the same time. Peter grabbed the Sindra emblem as he galloped and spat out a series of rapid prayers, and the magic energy was stimulated from the emblem, and a large amount of water appeared out of thin air and splashed on Qiao Sen, extinguishing the flames on his body.
The fire bat that bit Qiao Sen's arm and didn't let go was also splashed by the pouring "water making technique", and the flames all over his body were extinguished, and a large cloud of steam came out.
Swish! In a flash of cold light, the saber slashed against Qiao Sen's arm, severing the neck of the fire bat.
The headless corpse fell to the ground, still twitching and flapping its wings, its body black and shiny like asphalt, and its body was not much different from that of a normal bat.
Jossen had multiple burns on his body and a bloody wound on his arm. Fortunately, Peter and Nikolai rescued in time, and the injuries were not life-threatening, but their faces were pale and they had not yet recovered from the shock.
Peter used his magic to help Jossen heal his wounds, and turned to look at Bavra. Catwoman is leading the militia in pursuit of another fire bat.
The fire bat seemed to be a fire elemental creature, relying on the scorching energy emanating from its body to float in the air, and this fire energy burned violently as soon as it was exposed to the air, turning the five feet of space around the fire bat into a fireball. If a militia attacks a fire bat with a short sword, it will be ignited by the flames before it can hurt the opponent, and can only snipe from a distance with a crossbow. However, the fire bat is extremely agile and hovers and flies in the air at high speed, making it difficult to hit it with crossbow arrows fired by the militia or rocks thrown by Bafra with a sling.
Peter touched his chin to observe the flight trajectory of the fire bat, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked Pavra loudly, "Kitten, have you prepared the Wind Creation Magic today?" ”
"I've prepared both the 2-ring wind making technique and the 3-ring wind wall technique, but what are these spells for the fire bat?" Bafra's face was full of wonder, "Summoning a strong wind to blow the fire bat away at most, it can't damage it at all......"
"Don't worry about it so much, you hurry up and prepare the 'Wind Creation Technique', and make a move when the time comes!"
Pavra wanted to ask Peter what he meant by "timing", but the young priest was already in a state of concentration for casting spells, holding up the emblem and reciting prayers, summoning a large ball of water out of thin air, floating above the fire bats.
Fire bats have poor eyesight, but they have the gift of "blindness" of bat-like creatures, and the sound waves emitted from their mouths spread in all directions, and when they encounter obstacles, they will reflect back to their ears and tell their direction. The sound wave touched a large amount of clear water and reflected back, and the fire bat immediately sensed the threat overhead, and before the water balloon could burst, it flapped its wings and flew into the distance.
Pavra had already seen Peter's intentions at this time, and cast the "Wind Magic" in time, accompanied by a sharp air explosion, a powerful shockwave erupted from her palm, blowing the water balls in the air that dispersed on their own towards the fire bats.
Combining the "Water Technique" with the "Wind Technique", Peter and Pafra successfully create a "directional rain", which catches up with the fire bats with the wind and drenches them from head to toe.
The flames around the fire bat were extinguished by the torrential rain, screaming and flapping its wings desperately, trying to support its out-of-control body, but in this harsh environment of wind and rain, it could not fly as freely as before, and struggled awkwardly in the air, staggering. The militia squad seized the opportunity to raise a salvo of crossbows, two of which hit the fire bats, and the black "soup chicken" fell to death with a scream.
"Finally killed these two monsters." Bafra let out a sigh of relief.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, look over there." Nikolai's face was gloomy, and he raised his knife and pointed in the direction where the Balle volcano was located.
Everyone followed his direction and looked closely, the black smoke spewing out of the crater was thicker than just now, and the smoke and dust spread from the top of the mountain up to a thousand yards, spreading towards the misty swamp, the smoke and dust were mixed with dots of flames, everyone thought it was the embers of volcanic ash before, and after what happened just now, now they have to suspect that the embers are mixed with a large swarm of fire bats.
"If the firebat did fly out of the Balreux Pass, there would be too many of them to count, and once this horde of terrible monsters flew over the swamp and broke into the farmland...... Bavra shuddered, unable to say any more.
In fact, she didn't need to say it explicitly, and everyone thought about what the consequences would be. There are still 10,000 acres of corn in the valley village commune that have not yet been harvested, and if the fire bats break into the farmland, most of the commune's hard work for half a year will be burned to ashes by the fire.
"It's not just the farmland that is in danger, our village is also exposed to the threat of fire bats, and if these monsters break into the village, many houses will be set on fire and many lives will be killed......," Peter said with no smile on his face.
"We can't deal with a large swarm of fire bats with just a few of us, Brother Flying Knife, hurry back and gather the militia and all the members of the club to prepare for battle, hoping to use all of our strength to defend the farmland and villages!" Bafra said eagerly.
Nikolai had come out of the battlefield of swords and swords, knowing in his heart that even if he gathered all the members of the Valley Commune, it would be difficult to fight the impending disaster, and it seemed wiser to abandon the farmland and villages and retreat urgently. But how can people who have lived here for generations be willing to give up their homes and leave their homes, and how can they bear to watch the farmland that is about to be harvested burn to the ground?
Nikolai sighed and resolutely made a decision: "Go back first and inform everyone of the changes in Balle Volcano, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will never give up protecting the farmland and villages!" ”
