Chapter 197: Bats

No one hesitated, no one hesitated, everyone present was an adventurer who had experienced countless life and death tests, and their rich adventure experience allowed them to know what to do when and when, so when Pannis shouted the word shield, everyone almost simultaneously raised a wooden shield above their heads, although most people have not been trained in the use of orthodox shields, the posture of raising the shield is very non-standard, if you really face the enemy's attack, the melee attack may be lightly picked by the enemy or bypass the shield defense, and the long-range attack will be stabbed by the arrow like a arrow mouse- Fortunately, however, the enemy's attack is not substantial, and it is only necessary to raise the wooden shield above your head to protect the only exposed face and neck in the important parts.

There was still no sound, and no force of impact was felt on the shield, but the girls suddenly had a strange feeling, as if something invisible had swept past them, and as if their bodies had passed through an invisible barrier. As for Pannis, after tumbling and leaving the spot, he threw his one-handed sword into the air, gritted his teeth and said viciously, "I caught you now." ”

It seemed that the first round of attacks had passed, Catherine slightly deflected her shield, revealing one eye and looking in the direction of Pennis's one-handed sword in the air, just a few dozen meters behind the team, a huge creature hung upside down in the canopy, and two shining eyes were staring gloomily at the people in the group.

"Bats?" beside Catherine, Lina couldn't change her inquisitive nature, and couldn't help but poke an eye out from behind her shield to look at the large creature hanging upside down in the canopy of a twenty-meter high.

The priest girl's shouting was not wrong, it was indeed like a bat, a giant bat magnified dozens of times. The giant bat was grayish-black, with a bunch of huge fleshy wings wrapped around its body like a cloak, and a pair of sharp claws grew at the end of its lower limbs, which were much stronger than ordinary bats, and the hook-shaped claws clung tightly to the trunk, leaving several sharp scratches on the trunk. Its head resembles that of a mouse. The only difference was that the corners of its grinning mouth showed two white fangs, the hollow fangs slightly curved forward, and the tips glowed with a blood-red light. The only thing that was different from a normal bat was its chest, which had a raised sarcoma that seemed to be filled with gas and fell with its breathing.

It is a giant bat that does not boast of """≦" It is much taller than an adult male, and if it is estimated according to the proportions of an ordinary bat, the width of its wings is probably close to five meters, and it is difficult to imagine how a creature of this size can shuttle and fly through the dense forest.

"Roar~~~" The giant bat violently spread its wings and flapped the sword thrown by Pannis, and at the same time opened its mouth, and a huge roar came out of its mouth. The roar resonated several times through the airbag on Guò's chest, spreading like thunder in all directions, and a huge sound roared, even the leaves around it were affected. In the loud roar, large swaths of them fell. In the loud roar, the girls couldn't help frowning, the roar not only made the girls' eardrums hurt and their hearts beat faster, but also made them feel that everything around them was spinning. It seems like it could roar to the next at any moment.

Without Pannis's reminder, the girls quickly ducked back into the shelter of the wooden shield when they saw the giant bat's air sac begin to twitch again. Sure enough, there was another loud roar, but this time it was a little different, this time in the roar, the girls felt something pass by again, of course, it wasn't really something that passed, it was just a feeling, like the feeling when the breeze brushed on the cheeks.

This time, the strange attack was accompanied by a roar at the same time, and no one knew how the giant bat attacked with two different sounds, even though it only had one mouth. Of course, there was no need to know this, the roar was not over, Vral threw away the wooden shield directly, and the body of the regiment left the place in a series of tumbles close to the ground, and in the process of rolling, with each roll, a feathered arrow shot out from different angles, and it was hard to imagine how Her Majesty the Queen pulled the hunting bow in the roll of her curled body.

Unlike when Pannis hurriedly threw his one-handed sword, this time the giant bat was clearly unable to deal with the Queen's attack so leisurely. In the mortal world, no creature dares to face the queen's feathered arrows defenselessly, and the giant bat is no exception, so the huge roar stopped abruptly and turned into a piercing scream, and the giant bat's mouse-like face showed a panicked expression, and the feet that were clutching the branches suddenly let go, and the body quickly fell downward under the effect of gravity, just avoiding Vral's shot. Halfway down, the giant bat suddenly unfolded its gray-black fleshy wings again and flew out at an eerie angle, its trajectory erratic, making it difficult to predict where it would be next.

"Hiss, you still want to run after so much trouble?" Alcmene's bulging eyes, the yellow-green vertical pupils shrunk into a slit, habitually swallowing the forked tongue and making a hissing sound, according to a strange rhythm, intermittently threw three throwing spears, and said in a cold voice: "In the eyes of the hunter, any of your struggles and evasions are ridiculous, hiss, since you dare to appear in front of us, then be ready to accept death." ”

Despite its massive body, the giant bat flies with great agility, reacting in advance whenever something flies in its path, turning sideways at seemingly impossible angles, allowing Vral's arrows and Alcmene's spears to miss in succession.

However, the two seasoned hunters didn't seem surprised by this, as the biggest trait of bat-like creatures is their amazing ability to evade attacks, so it's only natural for them to miss. The two ladies glanced at each other, smiled and unleashed a coordinated attack together.

Alcmene threw a fourth throwing spear, and Vral fired three more feathered arrows. The High Priest's spear was directed at the path of the giant bat in the air, and the bat let out another sharp cry, and before the spear arrived, it deflected slightly to one side, and dodged the attack with the spear, and continued to escape the sight of the expedition in the same direction. But there is also the Queen's arrows, the target of the arrows is not the giant bat, but the spear flying in the air, and the three feathered arrows hit the tail of the spear one after another, so that the spear reversed direction in the air and plunged into the back of the giant bat.
