Chapter 266: Vampire Bats
Copperfield's face was gloomy and could drip water, and he roared, "Craigie, why didn't you say such important news earlier?" Do you know how many villagers have been harmed by this delay? ”
Craigie couldn't help but argue: "At the beginning, the direction of our suspicions was set on the Good Luck Fang Mage Tower, and we suspected that the red-robed mage or those drow elves did it, and we didn't think about it at all.
What's more, the cave was trampled down by the wild boar, we only looked at it a few times, but we didn't go deeper, who would think about it? If it weren't for Mr. Gavin asking, I wouldn't have remembered it, and I wasn't the only one present. ”
"They can't remember, that's a matter of course, but you're different, you're their leader, you should notice all the unusual things." Copperfield's obvious double standards for his own son and ordinary soldiers and villagers almost shouted, you are Copperfield's son, you should bear more.
Seeing that Craigie was still going to refute, Regina hurriedly said: "Now is not the time to hold accountable, the most important thing is to determine who the enemy is and how to rescue the villagers smoothly." ”
"Be careful."
"Get out of the way!"
Creak!
A dark cloud of black oppression rushed out of the dense forest of Comanso.
Gavin, who had been riding his horse and following closely behind the Dog Demon, bore the brunt of the attack.
But before the clouds could rush in front of him, they dispersed at a faster pace.
A dazzling light emanated from Gavin's body, and the second before the dark clouds rushed out, he had already finished wearing armor, a crown shield in one hand and a revolver cannon in the other.
The light from the battle armor reflected the dark clouds, which were a swarm of bats, unusually fat, blood-red eyes, and exposed fangs.
If you are wrapped in this vampire bat cloud, even if you are a warrior, you will be crippled if you don't die.
The glow emanating from the battle armor is the nemesis of this creature.
Caught off guard, a sudden burst of light blinded many of them.
Although bats do not rely on their eyes to see, they still inevitably panic when they are suddenly blind, and they disturb the entire vampire bat cloud, and they don't care about attacking others, trying to quickly pull up.
Just because they want to run doesn't mean Gavin will let them go easily.
Crystal clusters.
With the finger of the revolver cannon, with the injection of spiritual energy, the entire body of the gun lit up, especially the crystal pendant on the lower half of the barrel, on which the mysterious spirit patterns flowed, and countless silver starlights quickly converged, turning into fine fragments, not much larger than rice grains, and blasted out overwhelmingly.
This is no longer Gavin's previous improved version of the crystal cluster using spirit crystals.
Rather, in the true sense, it is a crystal cluster that extracts star mass from the astral plane.
The crystal clusters amplified by the revolver cannon are still slightly weaker than the improved version that Gavin spent money on.
But it doesn't cost money, you only need spiritual energy points, and every time you use it, it's not so distressing.
The crystal cluster once again proved in actual combat that it was ineffective against the floating spirit group before, because the enemy was too special, and it was strong and terrifying to deal with the material cluster.
The cloud of vampire bats trying to escape was like a dumpling, crackling and falling in a large area, at least forty or fifty.
The remaining cloud of vampire bats, before Gavin could attack again, burrowed back into the Great Forest of Comanso and disappeared into the darkness.
If it weren't for the fact that there were a large number of fat bats, constantly fluttering and screaming on the ground, people couldn't help but suspect that everything that had just happened was an illusion.
Most of the vampire bats that were knocked down by the crystal cluster were not killed, and it was more likely that they would be shot at their wide fleshy wings than if they were shot at their bodies.
Gavin turned over and dismounted, trampled the two vampire bats that were still fierce and tried to pounce on him into a pulp, pinched the two meat wings that were seriously injured, and carried them up like chickens, and looked carefully for a few seconds and said, "Sure enough, it's a mutated vampire bat." ”
Copperfield's face had become extremely ugly and said, "So, let's people in our village, the culprit of the large number of disappearances is a vampire?" ”
A large number of human captives.
Silently seducing humanity.
Plants withered in the places they passed.
Vampire bats infest.
A series of messages have come together, and the direction has become clear.
"Hmm." Gavin nodded and said, "It's not just a vampire, it's very likely an elf vampire, a hungry vampire who has just been woken up, a normal vampire, doesn't need so much blood, now there is a problem that doesn't make sense, vampires usually prey directly, why bother to take people away?" ”
Gavin didn't dwell too long on this issue, but swept his gaze over everyone and continued: "If we are dealing with one vampire or a group of vampires, not only will it not be a help, but a trouble. ”
Copperfield obviously knew something about vampires, nodded approvingly: "That's right, the dominance of vampires will lead us into chaos and infighting, to deal with this group of bloodthirsty monsters, we should adopt elite tactics, let them all stay, and a few of us go in to find out the situation." ”
"General Copperfield stays, and I go in with Miss Regina, plus my minions, and that's enough." Gavin vetoed Copperfield's proposal.
The reason why Copperfield was excluded was not that his combat power was not strong enough, on the contrary, it was because he was too strong and did not dare to bring it.
Gavin is very aware of the shortcomings of warriors, and he doesn't want to meet a vampire and become the first hurdle he must overcome.
"The affairs of our village are completely risky for you......" Copperfield certainly knew that he didn't have an advantage when facing a vampire, but he was sad in his heart, and it was difficult for him to sit and wait here.
Gavin said solemnly: "They are not only the general's villagers, but also my compatriots, I will do my best to ensure their safety, besides, we are just going to reconnoitre, further verify the situation, if we really need to go deep into the lair, facing a vampire, our current preparation is far from enough, we also need to find corresponding reinforcements." ”
Speaking of reinforcements, Gavin's first thought was not the Lord of Virginia, but Darnell.
This transcendent paladin is a professional at dealing with vampires.
Regina agreed beside her: "Village Chief, someone also needs to take care of it here, once a vampire servant rushes out, I still need your help to solve it, if we really have a problem inside, I don't want the village chief to rush to the rescue, but use the fastest speed to go to the Don Hills in Tassur Valley to ask the paladins of the Hammer of Justice Monastery for help." ”
This bard's lady arranged her retreat clearly.
"Okay." Copperfield took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.
In fact, he also knew that if he was dealing with a vampire, it would be wisest to ask the paladins for help.
But with so many villagers being taken captive, they couldn't wait that long.
Gavin checked and sorted out the equipment, and said to Regina: "Wait a minute, our main task is to reconnoitre, to determine whether our enemy this time is a vampire or not, wait for us to open the way, you are in charge of the palace, once you encounter an enemy that cannot be resisted, please Miss Regina flee as soon as possible, we all have the means to escape." ”
A luxurious suit and the Dragon Oak Mother Tree's errorless teleportation technique are Gavin's biggest hole cards, especially the Crown Shield, which makes him immune to the domination of charm, otherwise he would have gone back to bring reinforcements a long time ago.
There is no shame in eating soft rice.
If you can't eat, you're ashamed.
With Regina with him, Gavin naturally has his own calculations.
One is that a transcendent bard does have a unique ability advantage in fighting the charm of vampires, not to mention that Regina herself is an expert in this area, and her resistance is definitely higher.
The second is that he has tasted the sweetness of a transcendent bard who composes an ode for himself, and some things, only when they are sung, can they be widely known and bring enough fame to themselves.
Depending on the environment, you need different things.
In the rocks, Gavin doesn't need to be famous, because he knows that that's not what kobolds value, they come to you because you're strong enough to keep them fed, and you have a dragon.
The latter is much more important than fame.
In the valley, it's different, Gavin not only needs fame, but also a lot of positive fame, and with this blessing, it will be easier to attract homeless people to come and live, or to deal with good forces and people.
The third is that Gavin knows that the other party's real background is unusually strong, and from beginning to end, he has not shown his real strength, Gavin has reason to believe that her combat effectiveness is not much inferior to Darnell.
"Okay." Regina promised neatly.
It's not that she's heartless, it's that she believes Gavin does have cards she doesn't know.
Prophecy spells are useless against Gavin, but connections are useful.
Gavin's true background has been picked up by Regina through the merchants, and he should be the half-elf who led a group of kobolds in the rocks, stirring up trouble and making a name for himself.
In this matter, Gavin did not hide at all, because he couldn't hide it, and there was no need.
It's just that no one paid attention to Gavin before, but once he does, it is not difficult to find out, after all, Heijing is also famous in Cormier and the Valley.
Under the guidance of the dog demon, Gavin and Regina cautiously entered the Comanso Forest one after the other.
The trees of the Great Forest of Kosholman are dominated by huge maples and towering oaks, at least hundreds of years old, with umbrella lids connected together.
Even if you enter it at noon, walk on the ground, don't expect to see the slightest bit of sunlight, all of it is blocked by layers of canopy, they will make full use of every bit of sunlight.
Along the way, not only the number of bats is scary, but the number of rats and wolves has also increased significantly.
But because of the relationship between the dog and the demon, those wolves did not dare to approach at all, and they all ran away with their tails between their legs.
This reaction is itself anomalous.
When the wolves saw the normal reaction of the dog demon, they all took the initiative to run over and be loyal.
The situation in front of them is more like they are sandwiched between two strong men, and no one dares to provoke them, and running away is the best choice.
As the branches of the surrounding plants began to twist and overgrown with thorns, and the shadows cast by the huge trees looked unusually haggard and ready to move, as if something was about to jump out, Gavin knew that the target they were looking for was close at hand.
All these anomalies are telling outsiders in disguise that there is a vampire's lair here, and the vampires living in it are extremely powerful.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Three sharp whistles, three short, sharp arrows, nailed not far in front of Gavin.
Gai Wen was able to put up a shield and protect his face.
A shrill voice came from the depths of the jungle, "Don't go any further, there's a powerful evil ahead that you can't provoke." ”
Only then did Gavin see that the sharp arrow that fell under his feet was a whistle arrow, specially used for warning.
If the other party wants to shoot himself, he will not have a chance to build a shield at all based on the archery skills shown by the other party.
Fine?
Gavin wasn't surprised.
He was worried that there was no source of information, so the information took the initiative to send it to the door.
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
