Chapter 22 The enemy is only the tip of the iceberg

Feng Fengyun fingered the black dirt on the wall: "Indeed, although the surface has been oxidized to black after a long time. After speaking, he wiped the dirt on his hand and put it on Chongqiyuan.

"You??me! You're done, kid! I'm going to knock you down in the, you wait! Chongqi got goosebumps and roared in a low voice, pulling up the sleeve of his shirt that had been rubbed into a long smudge and wanted to rub it back against the wind and clouds, and the two began to chase me in the narrow space.

"Hey, hey, you two be quiet, don't make a fuss!" Zhuang Ze almost hit the wall, turned around and yelled. The smell underneath was already unpleasant, but when they stepped on it and stirred it up, the smell became even stronger.

Standing far away from them, Scarlet took out a roll of bandages from the package, and began to wrap the bandages from under his eyes to his chin: "The smell is too strong and it will also affect, you have to block everything you have with a cover, and use this to wrap it if you don't have it." With that, he took out two rolls from his bag.

After a while, except for Zhuang Ze, who covered his mouth and nose with a white veil, everyone else was bandaged with half of their faces. "Let's go out like this, if someone sees a little blood on the bandage, that person must not be scared to death?" Gui Qingchen looked at everyone and said with a smile.

"Well, it's not going to be, it's just that if we stay here for a few more hours, we'll stink to death. Zhuang Ze said.

“......”

Everyone stopped joking and silently followed Zhuang Ze forward.

Since going down the hole, they walked on this straight road for more than ten minutes, although the hole road is not high or wide, but it can still make people straighten their waists without clamping their arms to walk, but the more they go forward, the heavier their breathing is, although it covers the mouth and nose, but the smell is getting heavier and heavier as it goes deeper, and the surrounding air also seems to be under pressure, invisibly pressing the torso.

Scarlet controls the flickering torches as she tries to extract information from the cluttered perception of the beasts that are spying on you. Suddenly, Zhuang Ze at the front stopped, and when he looked at it, the torch in Zhuang Ze's hand could no longer reflect the surrounding stone walls, and the surroundings of the fire now turned into a dark nothingness.

Gui Qingchen walked in this long passage and slowly became a little dizzy from the smell, and the next moment he bumped into the scarlet man in front of him who was stunned in place, and this collision made him sober up a little: "What?"

"Shhhh "Scarlet whispering.

On the way up the mountain, Scarlet and Zhuang Ze had already discussed the strategy, combined with the characteristics of the nest and each person, and finally decided to circle the nest from the outside to the inside. If you don't need precise positioning, you can shoot ten arrows on a string, although Gui Qingchen can't attack with a shield, but you can protect the whole body, Chongqiyuan holds a thorn whip made of thorns, which can control the elongation and shortening of countless thorns on its branches, and the range of attacks in a vertical flick is also unusually wide, wind and rain clouds control gold, and a few metallic thin needles can deal with a large number of bats at once, Zhuang Ze thin sword, although the single point attack is strong, but it is not very good at dealing with the majority at the same time.

Therefore, the final decision was to have Zhuang Ze hold a torch in one hand to light and be responsible for splashing fuel in the other, leaving the three people with a wide range of attacks and the defending Gui Qingchen to surround him in the middle to deal with the large-winged bats attacking from all directions, and then quickly scatter the fuel along the edge to the inward spiral route, and finally bring the fuel line all the way to the place where it is ready to block the way out.

The torches are now as bright as a speck of light in a starry canvas, and the only way to see the surroundings is to increase the fire, which means waking up the wild things that are hiding. The crowd quietly walked a few meters into nothingness.

"How is it, is there any breath?" asked Zhuang Ze, who was surrounded by everyone.

"No, other smells are too informative to be felt. "The scarlet is also distressed, and how to look around is like being strangled in the water, unable to hear the calls around him. "It's going to be a battle no matter what, I'm going to increase the fire, you guys get ready!"

After hearing this, everyone took a stance, and with a bang, the fierce flames lit up the dark space at once.

The air was suddenly silent, and although it had been quiet before, it was unusually quiet now, so quiet that everyone's heartbeat was amplified, amplified to the point that the sound of agitation was deafening.

At the moment when the silence was at its extreme, a shrill cry tore through the peace. "It's coming!" Zhuang Ze said, and the group moved quickly, leaning against the wall. The air was extremely agitated, and the sounds of countless flying wings resounding throughout the hollow. The first thing that appeared in the field of vision was above Gui Qingchen's diagonal top, the bat suddenly retracted its wings, and one swooped down, Gui Qingchen immediately put his shield on his forehead and shouted: "Brother Xiao!"

With a muffled sound, the bat was hit by a scarlet arrow and slammed into the shield, before sliding to the ground.

The next second the first big-winged bat landed, bats from all directions rushed in, and everyone moved quickly while entangled with a huge number of enemies, so that Zhuang Ze finished pouring fuel.

"That's it, hold on!" Zhuang Ze also waved his torch to drive away the bats. Fortunately, most of these large-winged bats are not as large as adult bats, and they are only an arm's length, so that almost everyone can repel one of them.

But when moving in the outer circle, there is still a little spare strength, and the closer you get to the center, the more you are outnumbered. The scarlet man wantonly released blind arrows, and then he didn't have time to draw arrows, so he directly picked up the dagger he carried, Chongqi was far from paying attention to it, and directly crossed and kept waving the thorn whip, and Fengyuyun was reluctant to waste copper needles at first, and then simply threw them out one by one.

After a few scuffles, the circle was over, and everyone began to withdraw towards the passage from which they came. Scarlet walked at the end, turned around and drew a flint arrow and shot at the oil stall in the center, and in an instant, the entire void was spread by the firelight, which shone extremely brightly. What is unexpected is that this hollow hole is nearly 100 meters high, and when you look up, the top of the cave is covered with black pressure and a large winged bat. I thought that what I was entangled with was the number of almost outpouring out of the nest, but the fact that it was only the tip of the iceberg that besieged them. While everyone was stunned, the bats that had begun to be burned by the flames flew towards the entrance of the cave.

"Let's go!" Zhuang Ze shouted. Chongqiyuan, who was running, took out a few wattles from his bag behind him and handed them to Feng Fengyun, Feng Fengyun took the jing, took out a few pieces of iron, turned around and stopped his footsteps, and buckled the jingti horizontally and vertically on the stone wall and sealed a tic-tac-toe.

Scarlet crouched down, close to the fuel line he had brought to him, concentrating on controlling the fire in the cave. In the final analysis, the wattle is also the toughness of wood, which can withstand a large area of impact, but it can't resist a single-point breakthrough, and several large-winged bats flew out of the broken seal. Feng Fengyun and Chong Qiyuan worked together to control the seal and prevent it from collapsing, Zhuang Ze dealt with the fish that escaped from time to time by himself, and Gui Qingchen approached the scarlet man with a shield to block the bats that flew out.

The fire is getting bigger, the temperature around is getting higher and higher, and the smell of charred corpses is getting heavier. It continued to burn for half an hour, until no more escaped bats appeared, and the fire weakened. Slowly, a cool breeze was sucked into the cavern from the outside, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, unsealed it, and prepared to enter the cave again to check the results.

"It's certain that it will be wiped out, but let's take a closer look, just in case. "Just in case, Zhuang Ze can't say, but he vaguely feels that there is still something left in that hole.

Everyone re-entered the cave, crossed the embers that were not enough for illumination at their knees, and stepped on a thick layer of scattered charred corpses, and one person scattered in one direction. A dense black wall caught her attention, and as she approached it, she stood there dumbfounded, confused by what she saw.

It was the corpses of adult big-winged bats stacked on top of each other, densely packed without the slightest gaps, and the rest of the walls were scattered corpses, but this was the only one. In addition, the closer you go, the smell of burning diminishes, replaced by a choking smell of rotting meat, just like the smell you smelled when you first went down to the cave. The stunned Scarlet suddenly pulled out an arrow from behind his back, and began to pry open the 'wall' from the edge.

There was a loud bang, and the 'wall' gradually peeled off, and the others rushed to hear the sound, and were surprised to see the hole in the hole that was exposed, and then when the huge groove was completely presented in front of them, the contents of it made people gasp.
