Chapter 569: Parasitic Bats
After hearing what Ye Feng said, the dwarf Balin was slightly indulgent for a moment, and then he immediately took out a rather old sheepskin scroll from his backpack, which was naturally the route map for the dwarves to go to the Lonely Mountain.
It's just that now it's not like in later generations, where a random mobile phone can be taken out to navigate out a satellite map accurate to within a meter.
Therefore, the people of this era, a slightly more detailed map was carved on the skin of a sheep or other animal that was not easily damaged, and it was also very carefully preserved.
After the dwarf Balin took out the map, he looked at it carefully, and then he also looked around at the terrain around him.
Finally, he affirmed, "If the surrounding terrain is not wrong, then we are only in the middle of the Misty Mountains. ”
"This means that it will take more than a month for us to get there completely out of the Misty Mountains."
"More than a month?" After hearing Bahrain's words, Ye Feng's face also became a little ugly, after all, now that the enemy has a giant bat, a scout class that can search at high altitudes, it is naturally easy to search for the traces of more than a dozen people in the dwarf expedition.
"In that case, let's have a good fight with these hateful orcs, and my heavy axe is also eager to drink the blood of the orcs!"
At this time, the reckless dwarf Dwarin said in annoyance.
"No way!" The calm and wise dwarf Balin immediately rejected his brother's suggestion, saying, "This is not a small army of orcs! ”
"This is a regular army with a hundred wolves and nearly half of the orc cavalry!"
"And now they have a bat force that can fly through the air to attack, harass, and investigate!"
"Relying on our strength, even if there is Wizard B? M can create an earthen fortress fortification out of thin air, and it is impossible to resist the attack of the orc army! ”
"You can't escape here, you can't fight and you can't beat it, so you can tell me what we should do!" Annoyed, Devalin couldn't help but roar.
"That's it!" At this time, Ye Feng suddenly said: "Since we can't think of a specific way yet, let's think about it as we go, after all, the orc army is chasing after us!" ”
"Every second we miss now means one more second to get out of the Misty Mountains, and it also means that the enemy is one second closer to us!"
Immediately afterwards, the dwarves packed up and set off on their way.
Because they already knew that the enemy had a bat unit that could reconnoiter from the air, everyone did not dare to rest at all, even at night, and continued to travel until the early hours of the morning.
Then, after a short break of several hours, the team resumed its journey before dawn had even risen.
Needless to say, this fatigue is needless to say, but it can't be helped, compared to life, it's nothing.
And under such a tired hurry, on the third day of the night front rejoining with the dwarves, they also found dozens of black dots circling in the air not far behind them.
This is the Air Bat Scout Force of the Orc Legion!
It is worth mentioning that because of the particularity of the air troops, their combat reconnaissance range is at least calculated in a dozen kilometers, so although there are traces of these air units behind them, this does not mean that the wolf legion of the orcs is the same as these air troops, and they are only less than a day away from the dwarves.
In the afternoon of the third day, the giant bats also managed to spot the dwarven expedition, and then under their unique ultrasound call, a large number of giant bats quickly gathered in the direction of the dwarves.
After a while, a huge curtain like a dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky above the dwarves, which was formed by the gathering of dozens of giant bats.
At this time, these giant bats were originally formed as scouts in the orc legion, and their function was only to report to the large army as soon as they found the enemy's traces.
This time, however, the ratio between the scouts and the dwarves was nearly 4:1.
Therefore, these air scouts, who were becoming more and more emboldened, made a very reckless move, that is, they were ready to use the power of these scouts to annihilate these dwarves.
However, before they attacked, they were smart enough to send a few of their companions back to the orcs to report the mission.
Then, dozens of giant bats swooped down in a low circle, under the orders of the fairy archers on their backs.
But just as they were about to dive a few dozen meters above the dwarf, they were ready to bend their bows and arrows and prepare to shoot.
Suddenly, a bright ball of light burst into the ranks of bats, followed by a crackling sound of thunder and lightning, and several lightning chains scattered among the bats in the air.
Although these bats that were ejected by the chain of lightning and hit did not suffer very much damage, at most they caused a certain paralyzing shock effect on these bats.
But you know, they're in the air!
The paralyzed bats instantly fell from the sky like dumplings, and then fell to the ground with a heavy pop, and their bodies instantly fell into a puddle of flesh.
And then, the scorching fireball and the cold ice arrow also followed the attack of the thunder chain, and the raging flames instantly burned quickly on the bat full of grease, and after a while, the bat turned into a biological torch.
As for the bats that were shot by the ice arrows, their bodies suddenly froze, and their bodies quickly spread large areas of thin ice, which then caused their bodies to fall.
At the same time, a large number of fist-sized fires were thrown vigorously by the dwarves, all of which were made of pine cones.
Dried pine cones are very easy to burn, so when the dwarves find the bats, they immediately take out the pine cones they have collected before, set them on fire, and when the bats swoop over, the pine cones that are burning with most of their bodies are just used as a fire for attack!
A dozen tinder sparkled head-on at the giant bats that rushed towards them.
"Poof!"
...... "Boom! ”
The abundant oil contained in the body of the giant bats attacked by the fire became the best accelerant, and soon, several giant bats turned into raging humanoid torches and lit up the sky.
In fact, as early as a few days ago, when Night Front reported the existence of the Bat Force to everyone, everyone was also thinking about countermeasures, and the series of attacks like the one just now were exactly the countermeasures that everyone had thought of in the past few days.
Under the fierce battle, the corpses of a large number of giant bats fell to the ground, and the remaining nearly half of the giant bats also immediately raised their flight altitude and hovered above the team without daring to descend.
Because the flames are too much for the fat bats, once they are ignited by Mars, they will instantly evolve into raging fires.
Therefore, in the end, the remaining bat scouts could only retreat in a gray manner, not daring to continue to dive and attack, but biting the sky above the team and following the team.
At this time, in the face of the bat scouts who were hundreds of meters in the air, whether they were Yefeng or dwarves, they could only stare dryly.
But then they found out that they couldn't help these giant bats flying high in the sky, so they had to go on the road immediately, after all, with the guidance of these bats, the orc army would definitely chase after them with a very purposeful purpose.
It is worth mentioning that among the giant bats that fell, not all of the bats fell into flesh, and there were still a few bats that were only seriously injured, either the wing bones were broken or the five organs were shattered, although they did not die on the spot, at most it only delayed the time of death.
As for these seriously injured giant bats, Night Blade's eyes flashed suddenly, and then he ordered the fairy alien to evacuate with these seriously injured giant bats on his back.
After a period of hurried and slow rushing, although the bat scouts were still hovering near the team, fortunately, the orc legion did not appear in everyone's sight.
However, with the guidance of the bat scouts, it was only a matter of time before they came after them.
And after this gallop, the dwarves are not tired robots, and they are only flesh and blood, and they will also feel abnormal fatigue due to excessive galloping and physical consumption, both physically and mentally.
Therefore, seeing that everyone was already exhausted, it could almost be said that they were exhausted, and although the dwarven king Thorin still wanted to continue on his journey, everyone was really too tired to walk.
In desperation, the team had no choice but to stay and take a break.
Of course, it was Nightfront's turn to come into play, and under his spell, the four thick and tall earthen walls slowly rose, instantly forming a fortification on the unobstructed high ground.
Because it was in such a process of escaping, everyone did not have the time and energy to cook delicious food, and everyone just ate the raw black bread with clear water, so as to fill their stomachs.
Subsequently, the dwarves, who were barely satisfied with a full meal, also quickly fell asleep, and as for the vigilant personnel, it was naturally the elemental elves who would not feel tired appeared.
The Sand Elemental has also placed three quicksand traps on three sides of the earthen wall, and once an enemy approaches, they will be devoured by the quicksand.
At this time, Nightfeng waited until everyone was asleep, and then he took control of the alien soldier with the badly injured bat and left the makeshift camp and entered a nearby wood.
The bat scouts, who were hovering over the camp, thought that they could pick up a bargain when they found out that Nightfront had left the group alone, but Nightfront quickly burrowed into the woods.
This made the bat scouts stare dryly, after all, with their huge bodies, it was impossible for them to jump through the dense woods like birds.
At this time, the night blade that jumped into the woods actually did not go far, and the distance from the camp was only a few hundred meters in a straight line.
And he left the team at this time, naturally because what he was going to do next was too bloody for the dwarves.
Then, at his call, several huge alien eggs appeared on the ground out of thin air, and then under his command, several alien soldiers controlled the injured giant bats and pressed them in front of the alien eggs.
As the flower-like valve at the top of the alien egg slowly opened, several swift white shadows rushed out of the egg, quickly pounced on the bat's face, and then the powerful tail quickly wrapped around the bat's neck, and gradually tightened as it breathed, until it completely controlled the bat's body, and the face-hugging insect also immediately injected the alien embryo into the body of the prey bat!
Later, after entering the egg injection process, Ye Feng also took advantage of this rare time to rest a little after arranging for the alien soldiers to guard his safety.
Anyway, he was not very far from the camp, and the alien soldiers and sand elements in the camp also had a magical psychological connection with him, so he could also know and rush over as soon as something happened to the camp.
At the speed of the Dire Wolf King, a distance of a few hundred meters is simply a matter of clusters, and basically it is certain that you can reach it within a minute.
Therefore, he was also very relieved to rest here.
When Nightfront was shaken awake from his dazed sleep, he found that his alien soldiers were shaking his body slightly but forcefully.
After coming back to his senses a little, he quickly found the corpses of several face-hugging insects on the ground, which meant that these face-hugging insects had completed their only mission, injecting alien embryos into the bodies of their prey.
And the reason why the alien soldiers woke him up at this time was because they had sensed that those alien hatchlings in the prey's body were about to break out.
Sure enough, within ten minutes, with the fury of the flesh and blood, the hideous alien hatchlings burst out of the bat's chest!
At this time, Ye Feng, who had already been prepared, also exuded a trace of the alien queen in his body for the first time, shocking these alien hatchlings, and then developed them into members of the summoned beasts under his command through the ability to tame recruitment.
The tamed alien larvae quickly transformed the host's corpse into the energy needed to grow and sucked it into the body, and then after eating, they quickly entered the molting state before growth.
