Chapter 90: Emergency Landing
Countless scarlet eyes lit up in the deep pit, and the piercing screams came and went, making people's scalps tingle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lyudmila immediately drew her twin knives and looked around warily.
Illuminated by torches, she saw a swarm of bats scurrying out of the cracks in the rocks and gathering around where she and Veronica were.
What surprised her even more was the sheer size of the bats, their wings four feet long, and their sharp fangs faintly visible.
"What a big bat!" Lyudmila had never seen such a scene before, and could not help but exclaim.
"Beware, it's a ferocious bat, not only bigger than ordinary bats, but also more ferocious." Veronica knew that it was too late to extinguish the torch, so she simply inserted her backhand back into place and solemnly warned Lyudmila: "Don't let them pounce on you, they will suck up your blood in less than five minutes." ”
Lyudmila swung her knife and slashed down a large bat, but the bloody aura attracted more bats to surround her, forcing her to struggle and cry bitterly.
"Aren't vampire bats relatives of vampires? How did the water wash away the Dragon King Temple. ”
Veronica flicked her wrist, and the "shuriken" between her fingers shot through the air, and the three bats fell to the ground with a wail, and said to Lyudmila in a hurry: "It is not necessarily a family that can suck blood, otherwise mosquitoes will not also become my relatives." ”
Seeing that she was still laughing, Lyudmila was so anxious that she stomped her feet: "Now is not the time to say witty things, aren't you going to call bats?" Hurry up and communicate with them, so they don't come to bite me! ”
Veronica shrugged and smiled bitterly: "I can only control one bat, there are at least dozens of them here...... Well, there's actually a way to solve the problem, but it needs your help. ”
"That's polite, hurry up!" The bat broke through the knife net and pounced on it, and the chain armor scratched by the claws went straight to the spark, and Lyudmila was really anxious.
"I can try to charm bats with my gaze, but I don't have a high chance of success unless I can communicate with them directly through words."
"Got it!" Lyudmila immediately put away her twin knives, "You help me resist for a while, and I'll cast a spell!" ”
One of the Ranger's magic spells includes "Animal Talk", which allows you to communicate with any animal with basic intelligence, and luckily Lyudmila has prepared this spell.
Eager prayers echoed through the pit, and Lyudmila slapped Veronica on the back, and the natural divine power turned into a stream of emerald light and poured into the opponent's body, giving him the ability to temporarily talk to bats.
Airplanes! The half-vampire girl's eyes suddenly widened, and a look of enchantment shot out of her eyes, enveloping the sixty-foot cone-shaped space in front of her.
Veronica's lips opened slightly, and she spat out an ultrasound that ordinary people couldn't hear. The bat's unique ears can hear clearly, and they can feel the kindness of their friends.
With the combination of sound waves and gaze, Veronica successfully charms nearly half of the bats.
However, there are also bats that have passed the will test, exempting her from her charm, and still screaming and pounced.
Lyudmila was about to fight with her twin knives, but Veronica stopped her from opening her mouth and spat out a scream, which was the signal for the bat to ask for help from her friends.
The bats that had been seduced by her immediately stirred. In their opinion, Veronica, having shown that she was friend or foe, and that she was so charming and lovable, that it would be too much to continue attacking her, and they screamed and tried to persuade their reckless companions not to use violence.
The bats, which were not charmed, naturally did not listen to their advice and continued to pounce on Veronica.
Seeing this situation, the bewitched bats immediately divided into two groups, the female bats were mostly strictly neutral, but the male bats were filled with righteous indignation, screaming and rushing to become flower messengers, attacking those who did not listen to persuasion.
Lyudmila breathed a sigh of relief when she found the bats in a scuffle, took Veronica's hand and hid in the distance, and whispered, "You're very powerful." ”
Veronica smiled modestly: "It's all up to Sister Mira's spells, otherwise I wouldn't be able to charm so many bats." ”
Lyudmila couldn't help laughing, pinched the girl's pink cheeks and teased: "Save your ecstasy soup, I'm not Roland." ”
"People really admire Sister Mira, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Roland...... Veronica argued.
Before the words fell, an exclamation suddenly came from overhead: "Damn! How a swarm of bats suddenly appeared! ”
"Oops!" Veronica's face changed dramatically, "Those bats are in trouble with Mr. Bloom!" ”
Lyudmila hurriedly raised her bow and arrow, but she couldn't find a good shooting angle for a while, so she was careful of accidentally hurting Bloom, so she had to put down her bow and arrow and ask Veronica: "Is there a way to stop those bats?" ”
Veronica shook her head bitterly, "It's too far away for my seductive gaze to work...... Hey? Mr. Roland has also come down, what does he want to do? ”
Lyudmila was taken aback and hurriedly raised the torch to look up, but her dark vision was far inferior to Veronica, and she couldn't see the situation above clearly, so she couldn't help but feel anxious!
……
At the top of the pit, Roland held the rope and slid down as fast as he could, shouting, "Bloom! Don't panic, I'll go over and help you out of trouble! ”
If it was on flat ground, the dwarf would not be afraid of any challenge, but at this moment, hanging in the air, unable to reach the sky or the ground, he was already dizzy and weak, and a large group of vampire bats suddenly besieged him and grabbed and bitten, which almost killed him.
Bloom swung his free arm desperately to try to disperse the bats, but his resistance was futile.
Several bats pounced on him, searching for gaps in his armor and sucking blood with their sharp fangs.
Bloom slapped down a bat with his backhand, and raised his head to cry out in dizziness and pain: "Brother Roland, don't come down!" There are too many dangerous big bats here, don't set yourself on fire......" Before the words fell, his finger was bitten by the bat, and the stinging pain made him subconsciously shake his arm, his palm was off the rope, and his body suddenly fell to the bottom of the pit.
"Bloom!" Roland saw the dwarf fall, and hurriedly reached out to grab it. The two were so far apart that his fingertips touched Bloom's back, and it was impossible to catch him.
A split second of contact was enough for Roland, and the "Blasphemous Star" on his finger suddenly released a rainbow of brilliance, transferring the arcane energy stored in the ring to Bloom.
The dwarf's falling body suddenly slowed down, turning into a large white mist, maintaining a vague humanoid silhouette, and slowly falling towards the bottom of the pit. When it landed safely, Fang recondensed from the mist form into flesh and blood.
"Huh? What's going on? The dwarf sat on the ground and realized that he had not fallen to his death, and his face was dazed.
"It was Mr. Roland who saved you, he used a high-level spell called 'Vaporized Form' to turn you into a gaseous state, the weight of the gas is almost zero, even if you fall from a high altitude, you will not be injured." Veronica speculated.
Bloom looked puzzled: "Will Roland use this kind of spell?" Why haven't I heard him say that? Even if he could, he wouldn't have had time to cast spells in that environment. ”
"It's a blasphemous star!" Lyudmila suddenly came to her senses, "In the Ogre Mountains before, Roland used the Blasphemous Star to steal Abraham's spell-like ability 'Vaporize Form', which has never been used, and just now he used the spell sealed in the ring to save Bloom. ”
Bloom listened to her explanation, and his face became even more ugly, "If that's the case, Brother Roland doesn't have a second 'vaporized form' available, how can he avoid those crazy bats?" ”
Lyudmila's heart suddenly chuckled, and she quickly looked up, and by the light of the torches, a faint figure could be seen rapidly descending, and a group of flying shadows were entangled around him. Concerned, she desperately shouted, "Roland, are you okay?" ”
Roland was not in a good position.
The bloodthirsty and ferocious bats lost their prey to Bloom and immediately turned around and besieged him.
Roland doesn't have a fear of heights, but he can't resist bats pounce on him and bite him. can only give himself a "holy treatment" barely supported, all hoping to land safely before being sucked dry.
At this time, I heard Lyudmila's shout, and when I glanced down, there was a faint firelight flickering, and I knew that it was not far from the bottom. After a moment's thought, he bowed his head and shouted, "Mira, shoot an arrow at my feet!" ”
At the bottom of the pit, Lyudmila was stunned for a moment, but then immediately realized Roland's intentions, and hurriedly raised the "Bow of Silence", calculated the advance amount according to the speed of the figure in the air, and lowered the elevation angle to shoot an arrow.
Syllable! The arrow landed on the stone wall, and then opened a twenty-foot silent barrier. In the blink of an eye, Roland slid down the rope. As he approached the Silence Barrier, he suddenly spat out a string of dwarven words, and the breastplate on his body disintegrated, splitting into numerous pieces of Mithril parts, which were transferred to his dimensional pouch on their own.
The bats clinging to the armor were caught off guard and were all thrown out. By the time they came to their senses and pounced on Roland again, they had slipped into the Silence Enchantment.
If the bats had good eyesight, it would not be difficult to continue to hunt down Roland, but they relied on sound wave feedback to identify their direction in the dark, and the silence enchantment swallowed up the sound waves, and the bats could no longer rely on echolocation, and immediately became a swarm of headless flies, crashing into the wall and breaking the blood, screaming and falling.
Roland held the rope tightly in his right hand and grasped it in his left hand, and the "Yanlong Pistol" appeared in the palm of his hand out of thin air. Suddenly, the machine was pulled, and six bullets erupted from the muzzle of the gun in a conical flame, almost filling the wellhead.
The group of bats above had just escaped from the Silent Enchantment, and they were unexpectedly hit head-on by the "Flame Dragon Spray", and they were all ignited in an instant, and all of them fell with black smoke and sorrow.
After confirming that none of the bats had slipped through the net, Roland breathed a sigh of relief. With a thought, the magic glove "Bloody Smile" opened the storage space and put the Yanlong pistol back. At the same time, his feet were on the ground.
