After walking for a few days and nights, they finally came to the foot of a mountain, and the soldiers and horses were tired, but seeing that there were neither inns nor homes around, Qiao Erliang led the soldiers to look for cave branches in the mountains and set up camp in the mountains.

"Second brother, how long do we have to go" Xiao Feiying ran to Qiao Er's side and tugged at his sleeve.

"We will arrive in a few days, mainly because of this group of mountains, blocking the way to Shuzhong." Qiao Erliang said and lit a few sticks of firewood, "Let's rest here today, I'll take a few soldiers and Brother Shen to explore the way in front, the hammer will accompany you, don't run around"

"Look at what you said, I'm not a three-year-old anymore" The little flying warbler pouted and brushed off a fallen leaf on Qiao Er's shoulder. "Go Hurry Back Soon"

They walked along the mountain road for a long time, and found that most of the mountains were mostly rocky, and the trees were quite abundant, and they never thought that the weather in this winter month would allow so many plants to survive, and it seemed that this mountain was also a good mountain.

"Report to the Captain, there's a water source ahead"

Qiao Erliang walked with the soldiers, and really saw a small lake in the mountains, and the soldiers who had not seen water for two or three days were already crawling by the lake to drink water as if they had found a treasure.

"Let them fill their water bags and take them to the rest when they are full"

Qiao Er and the others thought that since there was water, there must be creatures nearby, and his stomach rumbled a few times at this time, which happened to be heard by Shen Yan.

"I'll go around the neighborhood and see what I can hunt" Shen Yan patted Qiao Erliang on the shoulder and smiled at him.

A few days of contact slowly alleviated Qiao Erliang's suspicion of Shen Yan, and the image of "Brother Shen" also won the trust of Wang Tiehammer, Xiao Feiying and all the traveling soldiers. Shen Yan seemed to understand everything, but he was constantly hiding himself. The little flying warbler has been very different from the past few days, every time Qiao Erliang stares at the little flying warbler's big watery eyes, it always seems to be looking at a clear pool, clear to the bottom, and since the little flying warbler came back from the Afterlife Pavilion, his eyes have become the night sky, and he can't see the limit.

"I've never drunk such good water"

"yes, this water seems to be sweeter than the water I've ever drunk."

Qiao Erliang walked around the mountain, heard the two soldiers talking about how the water was, and moved when his neck was tired, but when he raised his eyes, he found a cave halfway up the mountain.

"Sure enough, there must be living creatures wherever the water goes, and the water is so clear," he climbed up a rattan stick, the whole slope was very steep, and as he climbed, he kept falling small stones.

The entrance to the cave is about half a zhang wide, and it is covered with vines and weeds. It's very hidden, and if you don't look closely, you think it's a clump of plants. Qiao Er carefully attached his ears to the entrance of the cave to listen for any movement inside.

There was silence in response.

He leaned in further, this time simply peering into the hole. It's okay not to look at it, this look can scare Qiao Erliang half to death, a pair of big white eyes are round and staring at Qiao Erliang, the intruder, when it finds that Qiao Erliang is also looking at it, it makes a bird-like piercing scream.

Qiao Erliang stumbled and almost didn't fall off the rock wall, he didn't expect to encounter these strange animals in this remote place. But he couldn't stay on the rock wall for long, so he hurriedly climbed down the rattan again.

It sounds like a bird, but those eyes look like people! The bird-like thing poked its head out of the cave. Qiao Erliang clinged to the rock wall, not letting himself fall, and he didn't even dare to take a breath of the atmosphere, he closed his eyes and stopped looking down, but the white eyes just now still appeared in front of him.

The voice echoed through the mountains a few times, and then it returned to calm. Qiao Erliang opened his eyes and looked around, still as calm as when he came, when suddenly a drop of water fell on his head. When I looked up, it turned out that the thing had been hanging on the rock wall above Qiao Er's two heads, his body was like a bat, his body was rust red, and his huge feet firmly grasped a piece of rock, but the guy's face was like a person, grinning with fangs, and the whites of his eyes occupied more than ninety percent, staring at Qiao Erliang with fierce eyes.

Qiao Erliang confronted this thing again, he thought to himself that most animals are still psychic, such a big monster, I am afraid that a single mouth can bite off half of his head. He saw that this guy didn't move, just looked at him quietly, as if waiting for Qiao Erliang to speak first, so Qiao Erliang also grinned, "Excuse me"

Then he quickly slid down the rattan, his hands were wet, and it was estimated that the blood was grinded out, but he couldn't care so much, and he didn't care about studying where the bat that looked like a human was sacred, and the small stones on his head were constantly falling along with the branches and leaves, and the monster kept making birdsong, and Qiao Erliang could smell the fishy smell on its body, and at this moment, Shen Yan appeared at the foot of the mountain.

"Shen Yan!!" Qiao Erliang roared, Shen Yan saw the situation, pulled up the crossbow in his hand and shot something on Qiao Erliang's head, only to hear a miserable scream, and the thing fell from Qiao Erliang's eyes.

"Are you alright?" Shen Yan asked.

"It's okay" Qiao Erliang patted the soil on his body, squatted down and carefully observed the human-faced bat, saying that it looked like a bat, but it was better to say that it looked like a big bird without hair, this upper body looked like a woman, the skin was rough, the body was rusty and red, but the blood scabs were knotted on the body one by one, and it was shocking to take a closer look. Shen Yan also came over to take a look, and he said that the arrow was too short to kill, and he had to hurry away before it woke up.

Qiao Erliang shook his head and said, "With a guy as big as it, it shouldn't be a problem to eat me instantly, but instead of eating me, it is chasing me." I always have a different feeling when I look at it."

"Emotional?" Shen Yan was amused by his words.

"Don't make fun of me, Brother Shen, I mean, it seems to be telling us something."

"And what do you mean, take it back?" Shen Yan stood up and looked at Qiao Erliang with a puzzled face.

As the sky gradually darkened, the soldiers hunted a few pheasants from the mountains and roasted them, some soldiers took out the wine they had been hiding, and a few people sat on the ground around the campfire, singing the songs of their hometown.

It was already dark when Qiao Er and Shen Yan returned to everyone's sight, and they took advantage of the moonlight to tie up the human bats with ropes and hide them in a nearby cave.

Seeing the two of them coming back, Xiao Feiying took half a chicken and gave it to Qiao Er and Shen Yan, Qiao Er quipped: "Our Ying'er is good at this craft, and the roast is so good."

"Second brother, why don't you praise me! I'm good at cooking," Wang Tiezhu, who was on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly came out to ask for credit.

"Remind the brothers to drink less, there are beasts in the mountains, be more careful" After that, he threw the meat in his hand to Wang Tiehammer, exchanged glances with Shen Yan and left. Tonight was the night of the full moon, and Qiao Erliang thought that something was wrong, so he quickened his pace and rushed to the cave.

The batman had already woken up, huddled in the corner, and when he saw Qiao Erliang and Shen Yan coming, he trembled all over his body and made a subtle sound. The moonlight hit its body, its face, its eyes, and gradually, the outline of the human face became clearer and clearer,

When Qiao Erliang and Shen Yan were surprised, it opened its mouth and said the first sentence:

"Winter moon full moon night, landslide, water dry, people die, southwest, bamboo house, escape"

"Who are you sacred?" Qiao Er took out a short sword and pointed it at the batman.

"Even if you kill me, there are still more than 100 batmen waiting for the full moon night, they will definitely kill on this day, if you believe me, take your people and leave here quickly, remember not to be greedy for the water in the lake, otherwise..."

Before the words fell, Qiao Erliang heard the chaos of the military camp not far away, and the two hurriedly ran back to the military camp and found that it had been a mess.

"Captain, out of nowhere, a flock of big birds has come and started attacking us."

"Evacuate all !!" Qiao Erliang picked up a torch on the ground and waved it to drive away the batman in mid-air. Judging by their size, these batmen are male, female, old and young, hovering in the air. The black oppression had completely obscured the moonlight.

"Where's the little warbler!" Shen Yan grabbed the Wang Iron Hammer that was scurrying around.

"She said she was going to take a bath," Wang Tiehammer looked flustered, "Oh no, go and save her"

Qiao Erliang commanded everyone to move forward, but those who had drunk too much ignored Qiao Erliang at all, and watched as they were cut open by the batman with his sharp claws, revealing his bloody intestines.

"Be careful!" A batman rushed towards Qiao Erliang, and Shen Yan hurriedly bumped into Qiao Erliang.

Shen Yan said: "I'll save Xiao Feiying, you take everyone to the west and escape from this demon mountain!" ”

After hearing this, Qiao Erliang grabbed a torch on the ground and threw it to Shen Yan, then turned around and entered the battle

When Shen Yan arrived at the lake, the little flying warbler was fighting with the two batmen, but Shen Yan chose to stand by and watch instead of going to help.

I saw that the little flying warbler was dressed in plain silk, fighting with the batman with bare arms, and her petite body was not inferior to the batman with wings on her body, and she stabbed the dagger into the batman's throat with her agility.

"It seems that there is no vain training you" Shen Yan clapped his hands and walked towards her, his eyes reflecting a faint green light in the moonlight. Shen Yan picked up the coat on the ground and draped it over her body.

"Thank you, father-in-law," she said, her hand resting on his, her eyes showing love.

"Let's go, snow kite, stop calling like that." Shen Yan put her hand down and tightened the buttons for her.

"Okay, Brother Shen"
