The iron tower followed closely below, and after chasing five or six miles to the depths of the mountain, in front of it was a high and steep cliff, which was overgrown with green creepers, and the dense leaves covered the rock wall tightly, and the bats flew straight towards the green leaves, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The iron tower opened the leaves and searched carefully, it turned out that there was a cave behind it, more than two zhang wide, more than one zhang high, very hidden, if there is no bat to lead the way, to find such a cave in the vast mountains is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. He looked intently and saw that the cave more than 100 zhang long was densely packed with bats, all of which grabbed the cave wall with their claws and hung upside down on it.

The strange sound of the flute appeared again, and a man as thin as a bamboo pole came out of the darkness, playing a green flute in his mouth, who was it if it wasn't the mage?

Another man came out of the cave, and he tied a healthy horse to a stalagmite in the center of the cave, and then ran away. The mage stopped playing the flute and turned away, disappearing into the darkness like a ghost.

As soon as the whistle stopped, the bats pounced on the horse, and although it was pitch black in the cave, the tower could see it clearly, and the bats were swooping on the horse's body and sucking its blood. The poor horse tossed and neighed in agony, but could not escape, and soon fell to the ground and became a dried corpse.

Tie Ta understood that for a long time, the mage always played the flute first and then fed the bats, and over time they formed a conditioned reflex, as soon as they heard the flute, they knew that there was something to eat, and he used this method to control the bats. Eiffel Tower once read about bats in books, their teeth are sharp, they can easily bite through the skin of animals, and their saliva contains anticoagulants that prevent blood from clotting, so that they can suck blood unscrupulously.

"You give them to me, it's called recycling." The tower suddenly remembered the mage's words, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, needless to say, the end of those prisoners was the same as that of the poor horse, and they became the ghosts of the bat's mouth. "The heart is like a snake and scorpion, cold-blooded and cruel, such a person must not stay in the world." In his heart, he had already sentenced the mage to death.

The tower ran unhurriedly into the cave, the distance of a hundred or so feet was only a blink of an eye for him, although the bat's sense of smell was very sensitive, but it did not notice that anyone was passing by, and of course it would not react at all. There are many forks in the cave, criss-crossing like a labyrinth, there are many huge stalactites hanging above the head, crystal clear and varied, the spring water falls to the ground along the stone "dripping and clicking", and flows into a small stream to the depths of the cave.

The tower walked forward along the stream, and tossed around for most of the hour, when a large cave appeared in front of it, which could accommodate four or five thousand people, and it was as bright as day, and when I looked up, I saw that there was a crack at the top of the cave, and the bright moonlight was shining in from there. The ground was covered with thick leaves and weeds, and many soldiers were sleeping together, snoring and dreaming. The grain in the corner was piled up into a small mountain, and it seemed that they were prepared for a long hiding. The iron tower secretly screamed that it was a pity, but the miracle created by nature was turned into a miasma by the mage, and it became a place to hide filth and dirt.

"Mage, come over and drink." Suddenly, a drunken voice came.

"Su Ganra, I finally found you." The tower was overjoyed, and followed the sound to a small cave, which was dimly lit by candlelight.

As soon as the lights dimmed, the mage appeared in front of Su Ganra like a ghost, and with a wave of his sleeve, he swept all the wine jugs and glasses on the stone table to the ground, and said angrily: "It's an emergency, and you're still drinking and having fun, it's just too much to grow." ”

"I'm just bored!" Su Ganra complained, "Suhani is so noisy and noisy here that I can't sleep, so let's just feed him to the bats!" ”

"No way!" The mage refused without thinking about it, "Suhani is a trump card in our hands, Zheng He now regards him as the legitimate heir to the throne, he must care about his safety, and having him as a hostage can save our lives at a critical moment." ”

"Do whatever you want! I'll listen to you all. Su Gan said flatteringly, "Master, are you still scheming...... No! It should be resourceful, and now it is estimated that Zheng He is still looking around in the city, how do you know that we have gone away and flown high, haha! By the way, how did you find this cave? It was secluded and spacious, and there was plenty of fresh water, which was really a great place for us to hide. ”

The mage was silent for a moment, and his voice suddenly became low, "When I was your age, my family was very poor, and in order to fill my stomach, I grazed cattle for a landlord. The landlord was very cruel to me, beat me if it didn't go my way, and often refused me food. One day it was raining heavily, and a cow was accidentally lost, and I was in a hurry, and if I couldn't find it, the landlord would kill me. I chased a long way and stumbled into this cave, and the cow was indeed here, and I was glad that I could finally go back to the cave. When I was about to leave, I found a sick old man lying in the corner, and I was very kind-hearted, fed him some water, and went outside to pick some wild fruits for him to eat. I was a miserable man, and he was alone, and we were sick and sick, so I came to see him often, and I saved my only meal for him. I didn't expect the old man to have a unique skill, after he recovered from his illness, he accepted me as an apprentice and taught me how to train bats, I studied very hard, and after two years I finally learned all the skills of the master. I went down the mountain with great ambition, and the first thing I did was to direct the bats to eat the landlord's family, and I was so happy to see them struggling and howling in pain on the ground! I said to myself, I don't want to be poor anymore, I don't want to be bullied anymore, haha......" With tears in the corners of the mage's eyes, poignant laughter kept echoing in the hole. Su Ganra was terrified when he heard this, and he shivered several times in succession.

After a long time, the mage finally regained his composure and said coldly, "What about Suhani? Did he sleep? Be sure to keep an eye on him. ”

"I sent two people to watch, don't worry." Su Ganra replied cautiously, after listening to the mage's memories just now, for some reason, he suddenly had an inexplicable fear of him, for fear that he would be fed a bat by him if he made a mistake. "If I hadn't listened to his instigation, I'm still in charge of the army! Although it is not as beautiful as being a king, it is better than the current life of a ground mouse, why are you so stupid! Su Ganra regretted a little, but how can there be regret medicine in the world?

"It's important to get Suhani out first, as for these two guys, huh! Lao Tzu can come and clean up at any time. He was about to take a prisoner and ask for clarification, but he saw two soldiers dozing outside the cave not far away.

The tower was lightly placed on their necks, and the two fainted, and when they entered the cave, they saw a child lying soundly asleep on a stone, with two tear stains on his face, it was Prince Suhani who had seen him at the state banquet that day. He picked up the child and went back the way he came, and flew over it like a gust of wind as he passed the bat cave.

"I've found Suganra's lair, and I can do it tomorrow." Back at the treasure ship, the tower handed over Suhani to Ding Erniu.

"Good work." Zheng He was very excited, and his lungs were about to explode when he was teased three times and twice by Su Ganra, a bastard.

The next day, Zheng He set off with 10,000 elite soldiers. Tie Ta also instructed Ding Erniu to prepare some gloves and masks, this kid is really a qualified pro-soldier captain, he always silently does his own things well, and never asks more.

As the army passed a hillside, the tower told the sailors to wear masks and gloves to cut down the plants with small white flowers, and repeatedly told them to be careful not to get on them.

Zheng He was very strange, "What kind of thing is this?" ”

Tie Ta smiled: "This is a mandala flower." ”

"Mandala flowers? Isn't that the one that makes sweat medicine? ”

"Lord Zheng is really well-informed, there are a lot of vampire bats in that cave, and we will save a lot of trouble by using mandala flowers to deal with them." There are ways to deal with the Bat Tower, and this one is undoubtedly to save money and effort.

When the destination arrived, Zheng He called it a fluke in his heart, this cave is so hidden, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and what is even more terrifying is that there are bats to block it, if a strong attack is taken, the troops will definitely suffer great casualties, even if they catch Su Ganra, the gains outweigh the losses.

The tower used a knife to cut down all the creepers at the entrance of the cave, and the fierce sunlight shone into the cave, and the bats at the entrance of the cave hurriedly flew into the cool and dark cave, and all the bats curled up in a ball and did not dare to move. He spread a few bundles of dry firewood four or five meters away in the cave, piled more than a dozen bags of mandala flowers on them, and threw the fire into flames. Outside the cave, the tower blocked the entrance with a large stone, and although there was still a small amount of smoke wafting out, there was no need to worry.

In a few moments, the cave was filled with the scent of mandala flowers, and bats fell from the roof of the cave and fell to the ground more than a foot high. The fire burned for a quarter of an hour before it was extinguished, and after waiting for another half an hour, the tower moved the big stone at the entrance of the cave, and the air in the cave gradually became fresh. The sailors went into the cave with wet towels and killed the bats on the ground one by one.

After disarming the threat of bats, the sailors led by the tower rushed deeper into the cave.

The mage stood at the entrance of the cave with a blank face, he had expected this day after Suhani disappeared last night, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. "Even if you die, you have to pull a few cushions." The mage sneered, stretched out his hand and pulled on the vine above his head, and the stone chips at the entrance of the cave fell, and a round boulder larger than the table top fell from the sky and smashed it towards the sailors with a thunderous force.

"Good time." Without waiting for the stone to land, the tower jumped to the top, the focus point was quite ingenious, and the horns were just on the edge of the arc of the boulder. In the midst of the firelight, only the crisp sound of "dang" was heard, and the boulder spun like a leather ball and flew inward.

The mage was so frightened that he hurriedly ran away, but he was still a step too slow, and the boulder weighing several thousand catties seemed to have eyes, and when it fell, it just fell on him, and the murderous demon turned into a pile of meat sauce without snorting.

"It's so cheap for you." Iron Tower cursed that it was too unfair for the mage to die in agony in the mouths of bats.

"Rush!" The sailors rushed into the cave and slaughtered the stubborn enemy, and the rabble dropped their weapons and surrendered.

"Don't kill me, I surrender." Su Ganra knelt faster than anyone else, what throne, power, wealth, all are bullshit, only saving his life is the most important thing.

Zheng He looked coldly at Su Ganra at his feet, and a victor's smile appeared on his face.
