Chapter 527 Vampires and Bats
Noticing her actions, Wendy smiled slightly and did not speak.
The two of them continued to walk forward, walking for a long time through the winding passage that emitted an unknown stench, and finally came to a wide stone chamber.
"There are traces of artificial excavation here, and it is very old."
Xia said as he looked at the ruined door in front of the stone chamber.
The lines and neat facets on it are by no means natural.
"Do you think this is a land that no one has ever set foot on, like the Imperials?"
Wendy slowly approached the door, and the dark red light on her body suddenly rose, as if sending some kind of signal inside.
"Zi ......" Xia also used the upgraded corrugated fighting qi and formed a protective cover around him.
"Huh?"
After seeing the faint layer of white light around her, Wendy suddenly withdrew the power of the origin into her body.
Then he walked to her side and touched the outside of the rippled fighting qi with his hand, Xia hurriedly weakened the power of the fighting qi, and after the hand touched the white light, it emitted an electrocution-like movement, bursting into a cloud of sparks in the darkness.
"You didn't seem to have this kind of thing before, where did you learn it?"
Wendy seemed to be interested in the vindictive shield.
"Forget it, that's not the point anyway......"
She stretched out her arms and hugged Natsu from behind, her limp body pressed against her rifle and scabbard, and her hands wrapped around her thin waist.
"Wendy?"
Xia didn't expect this vampire, who had always been cold, to make an affectionate move at this juncture, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.
"What do you think? Don't hurry up and protect me. â
Wendy was disgusted:
"I use a little less of my origin power, your fighting energy can emit vibrations that restrain the sound waves of bats, it can be said to be their nemesis, let me be lazy, can't I?"
"Yes, of course!"
Xia said with some regret.
She had two weapons behind her back. Otherwise, now they are standard intimate contact.
"Little villain."
Wendy knew her very well, so she knew what she was thinking, and put her head over and whispered something in her ear.
Then Xia felt a heat on his face, and was kissed on the cheek by two soft lips.
"Don't stand here, get in."
Wendy retracted her neck and pushed her against her soft breasts.
"Got it. You take care not to leave the range of vindictiveness. â
Xia calmed down, turned on the ripple fighting spirit to the maximum, protected the two of them inside, pulled out the short gun on his waist and walked towards the door.
She chose the one with an attack level of +1, and in her left hand she held the Dagger of Godfall, the swordsman class is currently the highest level, and even if the musket is more useful, she can't completely abandon the melee weapon.
"Squeak-"
As soon as the two of them entered, a large group of bats flew towards them.
The grinding of wings mingled with screams, and the sound of teeth and fighting shields colliding. Sounds scary.
"Heh, you were so enthusiastic when you met, are you demonstrating to me?"
Wendy sneered.
Her hand slowly lifted, and a dark red beam of light shot out from her fingertips, piercing the body of a bat in the darkness.
The bat fell from the sky screaming, and the other bats disappeared with it, as if the scene was just an illusion created by the other party.
"It's good that I opened the psychic sense, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself in front of Wendy."
Natsu's eyes shone with a faint blue light. Raise your head and look into the air.
There you can see a thick stalagmite, hanging upside down from the top of the cave. A two-meter-long black shadow hung there, two red eyes looking at them.
"Click!"
Xia stretched out his hand and crushed a few projectiles in his waist bag, spilled some black gunpowder from it, and then pulled out the Dagger of Godfall and slashed it on the ground, and the sparks that burst out quickly ignited the gunpowder, and the entire cave was filled with thick smoke.
Bats have poor eyesight. Acoustic localization is often used when hunting and fighting, and smoke can effectively obstruct their perception.
"There's no need to make so many cigarettes, it's choking."
Wendy slapped her lightly and looked at the giant bat, sizzling from the inside of her mouth.
The bat's wings flickered. The paws fell off the stalagmites.
"Peng!"
Its wings spread out in midair, flapping as it looked at the vampire below, its eyes scrutinizing, as if evaluating the other's qualifications to be its partner.
"It looks like the negotiations broke down."
Wendy closed her mouth and spoke to her in a voice:
"It didn't want to submit to anyone at all, and thought I was going to sign a partnership contract with them, huh...... It's ridiculous. â
Natsu felt her waist loosen, Wendy's body left behind her, and the dark red power of the origin exploded again, crashing towards the bat in the air.
"Don't meddle!"
Seeing that Natsu wanted to raise her musket to shoot, Wendy stopped her in time:
"I have to take it upon myself to gain the loyalty of the demons."
Xia didn't make a sound, and looked at the bat with both eyes.
How could she sit idly by, as long as Wendy had the slightest chance of injury, she would not hesitate to fire.
"Squeak!!"
The giant bat didn't seem to expect the other party to suddenly turn its face, its defense was not strong, and it was soon pierced by Wendy's red light and fell from the air to the ground.
"It's as simple as that?"
Xia was surprised.
Generally speaking, if a flying creature falls to the ground, it will be able to exert more than half of its strength, and Wendy's methods will definitely have the upper hand in the subsequent battle.
"Smack!"
But how could things go so smoothly, as soon as the giant bat fell, its entire body exploded, splitting into countless small bats and flying away.
"After the lesson just now, don't you understand?"
The smile on Wendy's face was a little scary:
"This kind of gifted illusion is just a child's trick in front of my eyes."
She raised her finger again, and the dark red pillar of light immediately shot at a bat that was fleeing backwards, piercing its chest.
The small bat disappeared in the sky, and the real body of the giant bat fell from the sky, splashing a large pile of dust, where it struggled in agony.
"Surrender to me. Or die! â
Wendy walked over to it and pointed her finger at its head, glowing red:
"I never give people a second chance, you'd better think clearly before answering."
The bat writhed its body, and after a moment, suddenly raised its head.
A breathtaking scream emanated from its mouth, this time not an ordinary sound wave. It's a real rant.
"Watch the back!"
Wendy suddenly shouted at Natsu.
A blurry black shadow swept past the collapsed door with great speed, and launched an attack on Natsu's back.
"Don't worry, I've been waiting for it to appear."
Natsu thrust the Fallen Dagger back into his waist, pulled out the other short spear as well, and shot it backwards with both spears without looking back.
Although the projectiles of the short gun are universal, the power of shooting from different weapons varies greatly.
Two flaming bullets struck the shadow at the same time, knocking it crookedly and throwing it to the ground.
However, after rolling around the ground a few times, the black shadow bounced back into the air unscathed. Then it exploded like the first giant bat, turning into countless small bats and rushing towards Xia.
Xia Ke didn't have Wendy's ability to recognize the body in a group of bats, so he had to draw his long sword under the cover of ripple fighting spirit and wave it into a sword curtain, retreating to the wall to block those bats out.
These small bats are extremely ferocious, and unlike normal apparitions, each one seems to have a real body, and unless the body is destroyed or seriously injured, they will remain zĂ i.
"It's supposed to be a doppelganger or something. It's tricky. â
After being attacked by such a fierce group, the vindictive aura shield outside Xia's body was rapidly decreasing. In the blink of an eye, it had shrunk in half, and some bats began to bite at the already crumbling shield, while others stared at her neck and arms, ready to bite and suck blood as soon as the shield broke.
"Don't help! I can handle it myself, you have to keep your strength. â
Natsu noticed that Wendy raised her finger to this side and shouted in a sonic boom.
The vibration of the sound is amplified by the ripple fighting spirit. Like a bomb that shook down the bats around her, her critical situation was suddenly relieved a lot.
"Playing handsome, it's really a little ghost."
Wendy saw that she knew how to deal with a bat's weakness, and a smile appeared on her lips, and she turned her head to look at the dying giant bat on the ground. There was a cold light in his eyes.
"I've given you a chance, and it doesn't look like you want it."
She clasped her hands together, and the green gemstone necklace on her chest gradually levitated into the air:
"In that case, I'll kill you first, and then I'll get rid of your sneak attack companion."
"Squeak!"
The bats besieging Natsu suddenly let out a pleading cry.
They gave up the attack and gradually came together to form a single unit.
"I can spare you because you didn't hurt her or disobey my orders, but it doesn't."
Wendy's two golden ponytails flew and turned to the second giant bat and said:
"I know you can call on that golem to help you, but so what? I promise you'll all have both of your souls gone before it arrives. â
"Forget it, spare them."
Xia looked at the two soft bats with blazing eyes, and made a small calculation in his heart.
One of these two guys has reached LV19, and the other is a monster of LV21, which is already the best of this low-level map, and if she is included in her team, won't the combat power skyrocket?
It makes sense that this battle should be extremely difficult, but Wendy's bug-like red light makes the battle very easy, which may also have something to do with the innate deterrence of bats by high-ranking vampires.
"I don't want to listen to you."
Wendy shook her head and said haughtily:
"If you like it, I'll give it to you, just one demon dares to disobey my orders, and it won't be easy to solve the hatred in my heart if I don't kill it." (To be continued......)
