Chapter 42: Surrounded by Vampire Bats
Through the moonlight, Leng Xingyun saw a batch of black and oppressive things flying in their direction from a distance.
He hurriedly jumped off the tree, rolled twice on the spot to relieve the impact, and quickly came to the tent of several people after getting up: "Zhang Fan, Qian Lang, Feng Wanyue, Shen Wenbin!" Hurry up, it's dangerous! ”
Qian Lang was the most alert of the four, although he didn't hear it when he called him, but he heard the words 'danger' in a daze, and immediately woke up and got up to go out to check.
At this time, Leng Xingyun had already cut the artery in his wrist, dripping blood down the perimeter of the tent of several people.
Qian Lang understood at a glance, but he didn't know what kind of creature the danger came from this time?
Before I could ask, I saw a swarm of bats swarming.
"Oh my god!" Qian Lang exclaimed: "So many bats, are they migrating collectively?" ”
Leng Xingyun didn't answer, staring coldly at the swarm of bats that stayed a few meters away from the tent, forming a circle but not making any further movements.
"That's not right! It's not migration, it's encirclement! Qian Lang reacted: "They originally wanted to attack us, so you put a circle of blood around our tent, and they smelled your blood, so they didn't dare to approach?" ”
Leng Xingyun nodded: "This is a vampire bat, you go and wake them up!" ”
"Vampire bats?" Qian Lang suddenly panicked: "Okay, I'll go now!" ”
Soon, the three of them were woken up by Qian Lang, and hurriedly got out of the tent and gathered around Leng Xingyun.
"Bat swarm, I've seen it, it's just ......" Shen Wenbin squinted his eyes and pushed his glasses: "It's the first time I've seen such a swarm of bats with such sharp teeth and so ugly, and so many of them, it's really amazing!" ”
"When has this been, and you're still amazed?" Zhang Fan said eagerly: "Leng Xingyun, since this group of vampire bats dare not attack us because of your blood, then why don't we flee now?" Or do you use blood to drive them away or destroy them? ”
"The circle I put out of the bloodletting, they will not dare to approach for a while, and after the blood on the ground is completely solidified, they will gradually lose their danger to the surface of the living organism, and they will rush over and suck up your blood in an instant.
If you leave the circle, they will immediately swarm and bite you. And I, the blood that I just let out is three-tenths of the total amount of blood, and if I bleed again in a short time, I will no longer be able to protect you.
What's more, even if I drained all my blood, I am afraid it would be impossible to destroy so many bats flying back and forth. Therefore, there is a dilemma. ”
As soon as Leng Xingyun's words fell, Feng Wanyue hurriedly grabbed Zhang Fan's hand in horror and asked in a trembling voice, "Leng Xingyun, aren't you, aren't you very familiar with the Demon Valley?" Now that you know there are vampire bats here, why didn't you tell us sooner? ”
"If I had known they were coming, I would have preferred a detour rather than a bleed, for they are more intimidating than the creatures you have encountered! Bats are known to perceive everything around them through ultrasound.
But this kind of vampire bat, not only the ultrasound frequency is much higher than that of ordinary bats, but even the sense of smell is extremely sensitive. Once they smell the blood of warm-blooded animals, they will be very excited, and they will travel hundreds of miles to find the source of blood. ”
Leng Xingyun said this, fixing his gaze on Feng Wanyue.
Feng Wanyue understood what Leng Xingyun meant, and her face turned red as soon as she "Teng", and she bowed her head in shame.
Qian Lang and Shen Wenbin are also people who have experienced things, and they reacted immediately.
"Didn't you just come the other day? How do you ......" Qian Lang suddenly thought of something, and sighed with a smile: "Woman, it's really troublesome!" ”
Shen Wenbin glanced at Feng Wanyue resentfully, pushed his glasses, and said nothing.
Zhang Fan realized it later, but he was a little puzzled: "Wanyue, that ...... You ...... before"
"Before, I just wanted you to take care of me a little more. It's true this time, but I didn't expect it to cause you a big trouble, so I'm sorry. Feng Wanyue's gentle words carried sincere guilt and a hint of panic.
"It's okay, no one expected it to be like this." Zhang Fan comforted Feng Wanyue gently, and then said to everyone: "You can't blame Feng Wanyue for this, since this is already the case, Leng Xingyun, what should we do now?" ”
Leng Xingyun didn't answer, he was also worried about what to do?
If he is alone, no matter how dangerous it is, he has always held the mentality that he can hide and fight, and if he can't dodge and fight, he will resign himself to fate, but he can always survive.
And now, although the vampire bats sense the danger he carries, they dare not attack him. But these four ordinary people, I'm afraid they will fold here.
Leng Xingyun thought about it and decided to tell them the worst first, so that they could be mentally prepared. Perhaps only in this way will they do their best to cooperate in order to save their lives.
"I've indeed been to the Valley of the Devils, many years ago, and brought with me a hundred people with special skills and weapons. From the time we entered the valley to the distance from where we are now, about a hundred miles, sixty-eight people were still alive besides me.
Among that group, there were some wounded, and because of the poor medical and sanitary conditions at that time, no one deliberately paid attention to them. Wear bloody clothes, rinse bloody bandages with water a few times, dry and continue to use.
That night, he was attacked. Although the vampire bats are afraid to attack me because of my blood. But those people I brought with me, and it is my duty to protect them. But I alone could not stop thousands of vampire bats, and in the end, there was no one left except me. ”
Leng Xingyun sighed, although at that time, he found the nest of the group of vampire bats a hundred miles away, and wiped them all out to avenge the sixty-eight people.
But seeing with his own eyes that the partners who were deceived and recruited by himself in the name of treasure hunting, they died tragically one by one until the whole army was wiped out, and many years later, he recalled that scene again, and his heart was still sad and guilty.
"So, you mean, we're going to be like them?" Zhang Fan asked.
"It's the same, but it's not the same." Leng Xingyun explained: "That time, I only did my best; This time, I will do my best, but I will need your best cooperation. Otherwise, the result will be the same as theirs. ”
"How do you want us to cooperate?" The four of them spoke in unison.
"If the action of blood lasts until dawn, as long as you don't step out of the circle of blood, the bats will have nothing to do and will return to their nests before dawn.
If it fails, you will have to break up and run away in order to escape the bats. During this period, mark the way to prevent getting lost, and also to find each other after escaping. And I'm in charge of covering your escape.
Remember, no matter what I do, it's none of your business, you just have to run and hide desperately to save your life. Now, I'm going to mark you. Zhang Fan is a flag-shaped marker, Qian Lang is wavy-shaped, Feng Wanyue is a crescent-shaped crescent, and Shen Wenbin ......"
"Mine is marked with the 'Wen' in the name." Shen Wenbin said with a smile: "After all, my name is not easy to replace with pictograms, and the word 'Wen' is simple and easy to write." ”
Leng Xingyun nodded: "Do you have any suggestions or additions?" ”
The four of them looked at each other, and then Zhang Fan asked, "You don't plan to set a mark for yourself?" Otherwise, how will we find you then?
"If you are still alive, as long as you make a mark, I can find you wherever you are, and you don't have to go to me. If I don't go to meet you, you don't have to go to me. Leng Xingyun replied.
"So, you've prepared for the worst in order to cover us from danger?" Zhang Fan's face was full of eagerness and worry.
