Chapter 109: Building the City

Every winter, ordinary bats hibernate like snakes and frogs, ranging from a month to as long as three months or even half a year. But vampire bats are an anomaly, and they don't have to hibernate at all year. However, despite not hibernating, their habits are similar to those of normal bats. In general, they rarely come out during the day, unless they smell orcs or are alarmed by something. In the evening, many wild animals come to the shores of the Blackwater Lake to drink, and this is when the vampire bats are at their most active. Hordes appeared, swooping down on the beasts like flies to suck their blood. What opened Yang Ling's eyes was that he would rather suck half full, and the vampire bats would not suck the prey alive. Under normal circumstances, just sucking a few drops on a beast and shifting the target, it seems to understand the truth of a long stream. For ordinary beasts, vampire bats don't swarm and suck blood like crazy. But for the humans or orcs who appear on the shores of the lake, they show unprecedented bloodlust and madness, eager to suck their prey into one fell swoop. Because of this, there are a large number of beasts on the shores of the Blackwater Lake, but the nearby orcs do not dare to approach half a step at all. After being puzzled, Yang Ling could only attribute all this to the instinct of the vampire bat. However, without his orders, the domesticated vampire bats would never attack humans and orcs, and they would not worry about accidentally injuring Yuna and Orlando and others around them. On a cold morning, ordinary bats huddle motionless in their caves, and vampire bats are no exception. At this time, it is the time when they are the least vigilant and the weakest in defense, and it is also a good time for the red-haired bats to lead the bat army to sneak attack. Unlike their wild counterparts, they gradually overcome some of their innate habits as they advance. While the other vampire bats were drowsy, they were as energetic as usual. In the beginning, Yang Ling commanded the army of bats to move in the evening, but after only a day or two, he found that they were more suitable for early morning attacks. In the early morning, everything is waiting to wake up, and the Blackwater Lake is quiet. Although vampire bats are the least vigilant, at this time, the breath of people approaching is more obvious, and it is easy to wake them up. But domesticated bats are different in that they are defenseless, and no sleeping bat pays too much attention to the approach of a member of its kind. Early this morning, under Yang Ling's order, the well-fed bat army moved again and quietly pounced on the nearby bat tribe. The almost stationary gliding of their wings, their unanimous movements, brought them almost silently close to the burrow where their prey was. In a natural cave, thousands of bats were hanging upside down on the roof of the cave, motionless, and a few sentry fellows were lazily hanging upside down on the branches near the entrance of the cave, unaware of the arrival of a group of uninvited guests. After squeaking close to the bat cave, the red-haired bat in the lead squeaks softly. Suddenly, several vampire bats suddenly accelerated, rocket-like pounced on the sentry wild bats, stretching out their sharp, hard claws. Sensing something suddenly approaching at high speed, the sentry bat opened its eyes in panic, but it was too late. With a muffled sound of 'porphyry', a pair of sharp claws inserted deeply, and died without saying a word before he could call the police. After dealing with the opponent's sentinels, the red-haired bats led an army of swarmed in, killing the bats hanging upside down in the cave one by one in the blink of an eye. Unsuspected, the sleeping wild bats have no ability to fight back. After resting for a while, the giant red-haired bat led the army to the next target, and in this way, the bat tribes were silently bloodied. After confirming that it was safe, Yang Ling, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and remotely controlling the movement of the bat army, ordered everyone to act immediately to retrieve the crystal nucleus of the bat. In order to be in a hurry, Orlando often even put the other party's corpse into the space ring, and then take it out and slowly tidy it up after returning to a safe temporary station. In this way, as the attack power of the bat army became sharper and sharper, and as their efficiency became higher and higher, Yang Ling no longer sent everyone out to act as bait. All day long, in addition to commanding the bat army to attack, the rest of the time he cultivated the body refining magic technique obtained from the temple alone. Heishui Lake has beautiful mountains and clear waters, countless wild beasts infested, and there is also sufficient heaven and earth aura, and the conditions are unique. Ten days later, thanks to the efforts of the army of bats, the huge number of vampire bats has been completely wiped out. At the same time, after these days of hard cultivation, Yang Ling felt that his body was as light as a swallow, and his physique was strengthening little by little. With the Eye of the Tree's ability, you can move freely through the dense forest even with your eyes closed, and walk like flying. At the beginning, Sky Fox Yuna still had a trace of resistance and loss in her heart. Although Yang Ling rescued her and her clan from the spider monster's hands, she was still a little unwilling to think that her soul would be in Yang Ling's hands from now on. However, in the past ten days, with further contact with Yang Ling, she has gradually become cheerful and slowly faced the reality. The orcs are scattered, they have no status and dignity on the Tyran continent, they either hide in the deep mountains and wilderness to survive, or they are slaves in the human empire for generations, only Yang Ling promises to give the orcs a fair chance and equal status. For that alone, she couldn't resist. In addition, Yang Ling has a huge force and strong strength. Perhaps, one day, it will be up to him to help activate the magic teleportation array in the temple. In order to find the footprints of her ancestors, in order to go to the holy place in the hearts of her clansmen, she could not resist. After thinking about it, she really obeyed Yang Ling and obeyed him. For the survival of the clansmen and the strength of the tribe, the elders of the fox clan, the chief of the minotaur and the patriarch of Medusa have led the clansmen to pledge their allegiance to Yang Ling. Seeing that Tianhu Yuna also followed Yang Ling with peace of mind, they worked harder. After eliminating the threat and choosing a location, the group began to build a city on the shores of Blackwater Lake. Logging, digging, quarrying, from top to bottom, whether it is a minotaur chief or an ordinary orc, all are in high spirits and work tirelessly. Although the snow was fluttering and the wind was biting, no one complained. Everyone understands that after building a city on the shores of Lake Blackwater, the orcs will be the first to get the moon near the water, and they will have priority over the other natives of the Ladakh Mountains to obtain greater benefits. After hearing that Yang Ling was preparing to build a city on the shore of the Black Water Lake, the Fox Clan Elder hurried back, followed by a large group of half-orcs. Although Blackwater Lake is rich in resources, due to the rampant dominance of vampire bats and many demonic beasts, not to mention building a city, even fishing is extremely dangerous. Originally, he was also going to rush back to persuade Yang Ling to give up, so as not to suffer heavy losses. Unexpectedly, when he arrived, the people were already in full swing. Looking at the minotaurs who worked tirelessly and kept busy, and then looked at the vampire bats hovering in the sky and flying lazily around the heads of the orcs, the elders of the fox clan and the half-orc warriors behind them were stunned and speechless for a long time. "Lord Lord, what the hell is going on?" After repeatedly confirming that he was not dazzled, the Fox Clan Elder asked Yang Ling, who was sitting on the side, suspiciously. "Hehe, it's too cold, I discussed it with the Batmaster. It led an army to help me catch fish, and I asked them to come over to roast the fire, and everyone was fine, it's as simple as that!" After drinking a glass of rum, Yang Ling smiled faintly. Let the bats help with the fishing, and the two sides will be fine?" The elder of the fox clan shook his head and smiled bitterly, understanding that this was just a joke from Yang Ling, and sat down cross-legged. Soon, I understood what was going on through the sky fox Yuna. Summoning two thousand vampire bats to fight poison with poison, and in ten days, he wiped out the vampire bats that had been entrenched in Heishui Lake for decades? After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, he had to marvel at Yang Ling's strength again. Ordinary summoners can only summon a few magical beasts to help fight, but Yang Ling is good, one summon is a nest, and his strength is snowballing. Now that a large group of low-level vampire bats have been summoned, if a large group of mid-to-high-level demonic beasts such as thunderbirds are summoned one day, then what will it be? Look at the vampire bats flying around nearby, and then look at Yang Ling, who is not doing anything, thinking of his huge army of demonic beasts, the fox clan elder is shocked. Although he knew that Yang Ling had an army of demonic beasts before, he had always suspected that it was not the demonic beasts he had summoned himself, but now that he had summoned more than two thousand vampire bats in a short period of time, he couldn't help but be convinced. At this moment, the Fox Clan Elder understood that his original choice was not wrong, and following in Yang Ling's footsteps, the future of the clan was full of hope! After the shock, the Fox Clan Elder quickly calmed down and introduced Yang Ling to the half-orcs behind him, "Lord Lord, this is the Candela Patriarch of the River Python Clan, who is good at fighting in the water. I heard that you are going to build a city in Blackwater Lake, just in case, I asked the Candela Patriarch to lead a group of warriors to come over to help!" "River Python Clan?" Originally, seeing the half-orc behind the Fox Clan Elder with two horns on his head and dragging a long snake tail, Yang Ling was still puzzled, not knowing what race they were. Hearing what the fox clan elder said, he suddenly realized. It turned out that in the past ten days, the elders of the fox clan had visited many half-orc tribes. In addition to the fox, kobold, minotaur and Medusa tribes scattered nearby, they also went to tribes such as swans and river pythons, trying to win them over. Originally, he was going to continue walking into the mountains and visit more orc tribes. But after learning the news that Yang Ling was preparing to build a city in Heishui Lake, he immediately rushed back, and in order to prevent accidents, he also asked the Candela patriarch to lead a group of elite warriors to come over to help in the battle.
