Chapter 72: The Idol (II)

"It's mutated vampire bats!" As soon as the bats flew out of the gap, they began to attack the team.

Because of their unique appearance and attack methods, as soon as they appeared, they were called by one of the team members.

Vampire bats. As the name suggests, it is an animal that feeds on blood. They are a veritable blood-feeding group and a blood-sucking species endemic to mammals.

Common vampire bats often live in some damp and shady places such as forests and plains, and they are small in size, and their maximum weight does not exceed 30 grams. The upper upper canines are extraordinarily large, and the upper canines are knife-shaped, all of which have unusually sharp "knife edges". The molars are small and obviously infunctional, and the vampire bats have long and strong thumbs and powerful hind limbs, allowing them to run quickly on the ground and even jump short distances. Strong flying power. tailless, with nasal lobes. The eyes are larger than those of other bats, but they are of little use in pitch-black caves. They have a keen sense of smell and hearing, and like other bats, they have "echo detectors". They emit high-frequency sound waves that are beyond the ability of human hearing. And like other bats, vampire bats have sharp claws that cling to cracks in rocks, or rough edges.

While most bats are powerless on the ground, vampire bats have elongated legs and forearms, which allow them to move effortlessly around the ground. Vampire bats are social animals that live in groups on the roofs of the valley's caves, seemingly sharing the joy of each other's company and living a striking social life. Vampire bats inhabit almost complete darkness, and in their hiding places emit a strong ammonian smell due to the stagnant digestive blood. Dormant in their burrows during the day, they become active after dark, foraging regularly each night. White-winged vampire bats and hairy-legged vampire bats love bird blood, while vampire bats suck the blood of mammals. They land on the ground near their host such as cows, horses, and deer, and then climb up their forelimbs to their shoulders or necks, using their incisors and canines, to cut through a few millimeters of skin and lick the blood with their tongues.

Occasionally, they also suck blood on the feet of domestic animals, and they can jump quickly from time to time to avoid damage caused by the defensive actions of the host's feet. Due to the anticoagulant in the saliva of vampire bats, the blood can slow down and coagulate and suck blood quite smoothly. Each bat sucks more than half of its body weight per night. Vampire bats suck so much blood that they hinder the growth of domestic animals in some areas, and because they transmit rabies and other diseases, they are a nuisance. Vampire bats also occasionally suck human blood.

These are the materials that Romon saw from the book, but judging from the bats in front of him, which were obviously larger than he imagined, these vampire bats were afraid that if they had to eat enough, then the sucked people would definitely die of blood shortage.

Variation. Sure enough, it's really perverted and heretical. God knows how long they have lived in this thorny forest, sucking the blood of demonic beasts for a long time, and the toxins they carry in their bodies now must be even more terrifying. Being sucked by this mutated vampire bat, I'm afraid that two lives won't be enough to play.

Romon was secretly depressed as he swung a sword frantically, slashing at the vampire bats that were constantly circling in mid-air and attacking him. He now finally knew why there were so many human bones, but he was afraid that he had died here because he had been attacked by vampire bats. Although he still has a lot of healing spells that are useless, he doesn't know what else he will encounter next, and he doesn't want to waste his precious healing spells on entanglement with vampire bats.

Thinking of this, he swung his sword even more frantically. The number of vampire bats that had been cut down by his sword gradually increased, and their corpses fell to the ground with a fishy smell, trampled and trampled by those who were fighting with their heads up, and many of them became fleshy mud.

At this time, because of the killing of vampire bats, Romon had retreated to a place some distance away from Haivawi and them.

He was looking up to chase away the pesky vampire bats when suddenly, a killing force came at him.

Romon reacted immediately, he quickly turned around, only to see that not far from him, Lan Cassie was also entangled with the vampire bat, his expression was very calm, as if it was not him who was looking at Romon just now.

However, Romon still felt the killing intent from him that he had not yet had time to recover.

Seeing that the other party deliberately twisted his head, Luo Meng pulled the corners of his mouth, pretending not to notice, and continued to fight with the vampire bats in the air.

"Romon, are you alright?" Although there are a lot of vampire bats, with the cooperation of nine people, this group of vampire bats was quickly cleared. Haivawi was worried that Romong's combat strength was weak and he would be injured by vampire bats, so he leaned over while fighting, but by the time he came to Romong's side, the battle on Romong's side was over.

At the same time, all of them almost ended their entanglement with vampire bats. I have to say that although the vampire bat is powerful, it will not take advantage of it at all under the premise that several first-level or second-level warriors have long been vigilant. It can also be seen from this that those who died here were either because their own strength was not strong enough, or because they were not vigilant at all, or because they lost their combat effectiveness for other reasons, which would have killed so many people under the attack of vampire bats.

At this moment, looking at the corpse of the bat here, let alone Mary Zhu, this time, even Lusha's face showed an expression of disgust. It seems that snakes, vampire bats and other animals will always be listed as objects of disgust by female surnames.

Therefore, the remaining seven men could only give full play to their gentlemanly demeanor, and in the next cleaning process, they were mainly responsible for cleaning up vampire bats and bones. And the two female surnames arranged the task of continuing to find clues.

However, the final result was that the secret passage was not found, and the other room, which was inadvertently discovered during the cleaning.

The person who found the room this time was Mary Ju, and she and Lusha were disgusted with the corpses, so they were mainly responsible for continuing to search for clues in the cleaned area.

Because her body was torn by vampire bats, Zhu Marie was not in a very good mood, and she was not very careful when looking for clues, and just after she casually kicked open a wooden cabinet blocking the wall, a low door appeared in front of her.

When everyone rushed over, because of the lessons learned from the previous times, Captain Haiwawi bore the brunt of the attack, kicked the door open first, and waited for a while and saw nothing come out, and then walked in cautiously.

It is a prayer room. With just one look, Romon knew what the room was for. The reason is simple, the furnishings here are almost the same as those he saw in the temple of the goddess of the earth, in addition to a few cushions placed on the floor, there is a table in this room, on which is placed a small statue of the goddess, in front of the statue, all kinds of small objects for prayer.

The first time he saw the little goddess statue, Romon had a sense of déjà vu. This is a very ordinary wooden statue of a god that has lost its paint, and after years of devastation, it is no longer even possible to see the appearance of the statue itself. I could only vaguely see from the general outline of the face of the idol that it was laughing.

This smile made Romon feel very familiar. If you think about it again, isn't this smile similar to the smile of the stone statue on the wall?

Moreover, perhaps others could not see it, but, as a second-level druid, Romon only glanced at it and found that although it seemed that no one had cleaned it for a long time and had been abandoned, there was still a glimmer of light on this small idol. This kind of aura is either because the idol itself contains great power, or because it is often worshipped and often sensed by people's prayers and admiration. Obviously, in this case, the second may not exist.

Seeing that everyone else was searching the walls and looking for mechanisms, and no one noticed the little goddess statue, Romon immediately walked towards the table. Then, he put his hand on the little idol, wanting to pick it up and take a closer look.

As a result, at this moment, a very strange thing happened.

When Romon made contact with his fingers, Romon felt something inside his body, a slam of shock.

It's just a matter of moments.

In this moment, it was as if he was cut off from the world. All the people and voices around him didn't seem to have anything to do with him.

His body was still standing here, but his soul seemed to have flown to another dimension. On the surface, he didn't seem to have changed anything, but inside his body, it was as if a big storm had risen on the ground.

At this moment, a voice suddenly reached his ears, and with this sound, everything around him returned to normal.

"Romon, what's wrong?" the person who made the voice was Haivawi, who saw Romon standing still in front of the table, a little worried, so he stepped forward and asked.

Romon suddenly broke away from this strange feeling, and when he saw that it was Haivawi, he smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm just thinking about something." ”

"It's not safe here, be careful. Haivawi nodded, then patted him on the shoulder and walked to the side.

Only then did Romon remove his hand from the idol, and then, pretending not to care, looked around. Thankfully, no one noticed his anomaly. Staring at the little goddess statue again, Romong's heart once again made big waves.

"It's a pity that the current situation does not allow me to investigate, so let's talk about it later. Romon sighed inwardly.

Then, with a very fast movement, he put the little goddess statue in his arms.
