Chapter 31: The Ghost Bat
The further you go, the more roots there become, and at first there were no on the ground, but now they are all over the ground, but fortunately they are all roots that are not too thick, otherwise it would be really difficult to move an inch.
After walking for a long time, the cave seemed to have changed, the original basically round cave suddenly became square, and it was unusually straight, it felt like walking into a man-made corridor, but this corridor was tilted as a whole in addition to being full of tree roots.
It was so strange that Hans occasionally fired a ball of light to the front to find his way, and after the fourth shot of the orb, the ball of light flew to the front as if it had entered a larger space. Hans immediately said, "Be careful not to fall, there seems to be nothing down there." ”
Jamie carefully held on to the roots of the tree at the edge of the cave, and the others slowly walked down. They really came to a place with the entrance of a cave, and it was so empty outside that there was no road even on the ground.
Hans shot a ball of light in front of him, only a faint reflection in the distance, and he couldn't see anything clearly, and then he put the ball of light down, and this time he found that it was indeed a hanging hole, but it was not too far from the ground, maybe ten or twenty meters.
Imogen told Hans to stand back, then took out a glittering philosopher's stone and threw it down, the philosopher's stone burst into a strong flash, but it didn't hit them, and the whole cavern began to be visible.
They all looked intently at what was going on, and what they saw was a strange cave, wide but sloping, not far up and down, and the top and bottom of the cave stretched far as if they were in balance.
Hans saw it, and suddenly remembered that this could be a 21st-century building, and was about to ask Imogen to throw another glitterstone to see. At this moment, a group of bats with a slight blue light began to fly out of the cave, and several of them immediately flashed aside, only to find that the bats had actually attacked them.
"Ahh
Hans immediately unleashed a fireball to ward off the bats, but he found that the bats were running around his fireballs and didn't take it seriously.
On the other side, Reyna swung her sword and struck the bats in front of her, but she didn't seem to hit any of them. I saw her say, "It's a bit evil, and I'm starting to have a headache." ”
Imogen also seemed to be holding back his headache and shouted: "Let's go back, quickly!"
Several people felt headaches, but Hans didn't, but Hans changed several magic attacks and it seemed that none of them had any effect on the bats. It suddenly occurred to Hans that these bats were using mental attacks, and he was wearing an amulet so that he was not disturbed.
Hans immediately shouted, "Come to me, let's go up." Then he dragged Jamie's hand and walked up.
They climbed all the way, and the bats followed them, but they all felt better by Hans's side. Bats don't seem to bite, they just fly around.
Hans looked at the large pile of bats behind him, and he placed an earthen wall behind him, sealing off the entire passage, and most of the bats were blocked from the opposite side.
But when he walked a few steps, he noticed that the bats behind him had actually passed through the wall and continued to fly towards them!
Imogen and Rena both endured their headaches and continued to climb up, but Jamie passed out at this time, so Hans had to put down his backpack and continue to walk up with Jamie on his back.
It was still dark when he returned, and Hans carried Jamie on his back, and he reluctantly used his pure mental power to condense a ball of light in front of him for illumination.
All the way to the end of the quadripartite passage, the bats slowly retreated.
Hans put Jamie down and checked him up, and found no signs of injury, probably fainting because of the headache. He glanced at Imogen and Reina, and saw that they were all sweating profusely on the ground, gasping for breath, and was about to ask how they were.
Imogen gasped as he said, "Those bats are mentally attacking, and they don't seem to be entities, which means that they may be hallucinations created by something, or those are not living beings at all, but energy bodies. ”
Hans thought for a moment and asked, "Jamie fainted, what should I do?"
Reyna also began to speak: "I had a headache just now, and now I feel better, I don't think Jamie's problem should be too big." ”
Hans took out the kettle and poured a little on Jamie's face, only to see that Jamie also woke up. He tried to stand up, but sat down on the ground again, and then held his head in his hands and shouted, "My head hurts!"
Hans also didn't learn healing magic against psychic attacks, so he could only feed him and a few mouthfuls of water. Imojin and the others slowly recovered, and then began to discuss countermeasures.
Imogen said to Hans, "You don't seem to be afraid of their spiritual attacks?"
Hans said, "I have a talisman on me, which should have some resistance." ”
Reyna was surprised and said: "The talisman that can resist spiritual attacks, that's a good thing, among the many items that resist the element, the spirit of resistance is the most expensive, and it is not often available in Fran City." ”
"Probably. Hans replied casually. They didn't know that this amulet was not as simple as defending against psychic attacks.
Reyna asked, "What now, do you want to go back?"
Imogen said: "If Hans is not afraid of the mental attacks of those bats, he can consider going to see the situation again, but the cave below should not be entered, lest there be an unknown crisis." ”
Hans said, "That's what I mean, you wait here." ”
After saying that, Hans began to walk down, and on the way he picked up his backpack, he had not been used to using the Philosopher's Stone before, so it seemed that it was necessary to carry some with him in his backpack.
Seeing the earthen wall he released, there was really no damage at all, and it was completely crossed. He was still thinking that if it was an illusion, he shouldn't be able to see it since he could defend it, and if it was an energy body, he should react to the magic liliang. I really can't figure it out, just walk slowly and see it clearly.
Hans reached the entrance of the cave below, turned off the lights and stood for a while, but there was no sign of bats, and it was pitch black everywhere.
Then he took out the glittering magic stone and threw it under the hole, only to see a flash of light, and the whole hall was illuminated, and Hans fixed his eyes to see every corner, in addition to the many tree roots everywhere, he could also vaguely see some metal, and the whole sloping hall was exactly like the 21st century, with a large number of pillars supporting the roof.
The energy of the glittering magic stone was exhausted, and the surroundings were pitch black again, and then, countless blue lights began to fly down from the top of the hall, and in a moment they reached Hans's side.
Hans watched on guard, but as if the bats didn't have any effect on him, Hans began to try to attack the bats in various ways, fireballs, whirlwinds, and even using space to cool down, but basically had no effect at all. He even tried to shout and use light magic.
Hans suddenly discovered that as soon as he lit the lighting magic, the bats would immediately move away, and because of the light, it would be difficult to spot them again. "Afraid of light, not afraid of fire!, is it a ghost?" said Hans to himself.
Hans was about to walk back to tell Imogen about them, when he met Reyna on the way, and Hans asked, "Why are you here, and what are they?"
Reyna said, "I heard your shout just now, and I'm afraid that something is wrong with you, so I'm going to take a look." ”
Hans said: "We were attacked by bats just now because there is no light, because bats themselves emit light and have a certain illumination effect on the surrounding environment, so we never knew that bats were afraid of light. It turns out that as long as I use illumination, those bats won't come over. ”
Reyna said, "Jamie's situation is not suitable to go in, Imogen is outside with him, let's go in and have a look." ”
Hans thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, I have to tell Imogin, lest he think that something bad has happened to you who came to save me." ”
After saying that, they returned to the meeting place and explained the situation to them. In the end, it was decided that Reyna and Hans would continue to explore the path, and they also redistributed the Magic Stones of Glitter, which also had the same purpose as lighting magic, and of course left it to Rena.
Hans and Reyna went to the entrance of the cave again, where they lit the light magic and waited for a few moments without seeing the bats appear. Hans said, "It's possible that we used the Glittering Philosopher's Stone to alarm the bats. Let's go down and climb slowly down the roots. ”
