Chapter 224: The Vampire Bat King
Li Xuan saw that the stone wall was in a semi-circular arc, and he didn't know how many zhang it was high, only about seventy or eighty zhang was in the line of sight, and the rest of it was straight into the sky, and he didn't know if it reached the heavens. There is no water seeping out on the steep cliff wall, like beads of sweat, from top to bottom, and finally converges into a slow stream of water on the stone wall, wet and slippery, looking up, shiny and shiny, like a huge mirror.
Everyone looked at Li Xuan, and Li Xuan was silent. He knew that although this cliff was marked on the map, the tall and steep appearance had already exceeded his imagination.
Li Xuan said: "According to the map, there is a cave sixty-three zhang above the ground on the stone wall, and you can see the stone gate of the Medicine King Valley through the cave, but it is just ...... How can this stone wall go up!" said in his heart: "It would be good if the Flying Wing Peng Bird was here, but it's a pity that the Xiangyun Peng Bird made a long leap and got tired of getting rid of his body...... Thinking so, the scene of Yu Wenqiu leading Lin Dongtu and others to Junwang Mountain to look for Long Hongye flashed in his mind, and muttered: "Do we also need to make some wedges to make people hang down the rope after going up!"
As he pondered, he sighed, "This is a good idea, but it would be too time-consuming to drill holes in the stone wall and drive wedges into the stone wall while climbing. ”
Li Xuan asked, "Do you have a way?" Jin Laoke took off his loose clothes, revealing his tight black clothes, and said in a deep voice: "I'll carry the rope up first, find the hole and then hang the rope." Well, it's just that the length of the rope we carry with us is probably not enough. ”
Although Dou Mugao was dressed like a merchant, he was actually a person who grew up in the mountains. He looked at the tall thorns around him that had not yet lost their leaves, and said, "These thorns are soft, and if they are cut and loosened and softened, they can be made into strong ropes." ”
Li Xuan said: "Without further ado, let's start making ropes first!"
Everyone started together, and in a short time, a thorny soft rope about forty or fifty zhang long was made. Seeing that the length of the rope was almost the same, Jin Laoke took out two shiny claw-shaped gloves from his waist, put them on his hands, and whispered, "Everyone wait for my good news." As he spoke, his body was vertical, and he was pulled up vertically by seventeen or eighteen feet. The man was in the air, not waiting for his body to fall, and his hands 'clanged' twice, and he had already grasped the two protruding stones on the slippery stone wall. He is good at climbing cliffs, so the technique, breathing, and timing are extremely accurate, and while using his strength to rise, he has already calculated the fulcrum for the next climb.
Li Xuan saw that Jin Laoke was so light, he secretly smacked his tongue, and said in his heart: "This person looks like tuberculosis, who would have thought that although his martial arts are not very good, his light skills have reached the state of gods!" The mountain wind carried the damp breath, blowing the branches and leaves under the stone wall rattling, and everyone was waiting anxiously, but they listened to the muffled voice of Jin Laoke's joy in the misty depths of the sky.
It seems to have succeeded!
Li Xuanyun breathed inside, and asked with the skill of transmitting sound into the secret: "Master Jin, I have found the entrance to the cave." Instead of answering, he tied the rope he was carrying to the stone and slowly drooped down. Li Xuan saw that the rope hanging by Jin Laoke was still more than 30 zhang above the ground, so according to the plan in advance, he tied the loose and kneaded thorn soft rope to the stone, and threw it to the end of the hanging rope with all his strength. I don't know how many times I tried, and the two strands of rope finally tangled together in the air. Li Xuan tried, very tenacious, and said in a low voice: "I'll go up and have a look first, and you will come back later." After speaking, his body swept up like a big bird. He performed light skills, although he was not as accurate as Jin Laoke's calculations, but with the support of strong internal breath, it only took two or three breaths to meet Jin Laoke at the entrance of a man-high cave. When Jin Laoke saw Li Xuan coming, he hurriedly moved half a step into the cave.
Not long after Li Xuan went to the mouth of the cliff cave, Yuan Yufeng, Dou Mugao, He Xiandu, Du Chun, and Sha Mantian also climbed up along the rope, and the rest of Shu Dingwen and Yan Sui were pulled up by him with ropes. Everyone crowded at the entrance of the cave and looked into the cave, only to feel that there was a wind blowing slowly in the cave, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the cold. Li Xuan asked Yuan Yufeng to light the torch he brought up, put it in his hand, and looked around, seeing that this cliff cave was about a foot high, and the bottom was not visible, and the gravel in the cave was messy, but he couldn't hide the traces of someone walking by. He pulled out the blade of the Divine Dance, led the way in front of his head, and groped his way into the cave with everyone.
The cliff cave is wide and narrow, the height is uneven, there is no water seeping out from the top of the cave, everyone walks while observing the situation up and down, left and right. After walking about 20 feet, there was a lot of water under his feet. Li Xuan held a torch to shine on the source of the water, and saw that the water under his feet was dripping from the stone stalactites hanging from the top of the cave. The milky white stalactites were particularly eye-catching when they were illuminated by the torches, and to his surprise were some of the dry stone stalactites, there was a faint black thing hanging upside down. What are these black things?
He Xian Du looked at it and asked Yuan Yufeng, "Old Yuan, what are those black things?"
Yuan Yufeng shook his head and said, "I can't see it clearly, it's old dust...... Hearing this, the sand behind him said coldly: "Dust? That's a bat." He Xian Du let out an 'oh' sound and chuckled: "We shouldn't have entered the bat nest!"
The sand is cloudy **** is the best bat nest. If that bat turns into a beautiful woman and comes to seduce you first, what will you do?"
He Xian laughed and said: "Fight with her in the stone cave for three hundred rounds......" He was laughing, and saw three or two bats starting to float, so he said again: "Look, the bat spirit is really going to come down and transform." Haha, come, make us Lao He a beautiful young woman. ”
The people went on, but at some point, their feet began to dry. Li Xuan shook the torch and saw that the top of the cliff cave had become black at some point. Stunned, he stopped and looked up, and found that countless black bats hung upside down from the top of the endless cave. These bats were illuminated by the firelight, shaking their furry curled bodies uneasily, with pointed heads, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be open and closed with evil energy, looking at Li Xuan and the others.
When Yuan Yufeng saw it, he shuddered and said, "There are some evil sects here. ”
Li Xuan was silent, and gestured to everyone not to make a sound, and walked forward slowly. There were more and more bats hanging upside down overhead, arranged tightly in the air, and there were countless of them, like a large black curtain completely obscuring the stalactites and the cave roof. Rao He has strong martial arts, and his internal strength has entered the realm, but he is still surprised, only to feel that the more he looks, the pores can't help sweating, and his whole body is itchy and uncomfortable. Yuan Yufeng and the others saw that Li Xuan stood still, and they also stopped and looked up cautiously. Shu Dingwen and Yan Sui finally couldn't help it, and said in a trembling voice: "It turns out that this 'black curtain' is actually formed by these bats and beasts...... His Grandma's ...... Isn't this evil sect, the Medicine King Valley even more evil!"
He Xian nodded and said, "His grandmother's, I didn't expect there to be so many bats!"
Sha Mantian has been with poison all year round, looked at it intently, and said in a low voice: "Don't scream, be careful to alarm these things." Hey, Li Shaoxia, look at how there is a large white thing on the top of the cave in front of you, could it be the legendary vampire bat!" He Xian said alone: "What vampire bat? Your grandmother's, surnamed Sha, don't scare us." Li Xuan raised the torch in his hand, cautiously shone it in the direction pointed by Sha Mantian, and asked, "Are there really vampire bats in the world?"
Sha Mantian said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, but I have never seen it." ”
Li Xuan stared at a large white thing on the top of the cave and said, "This white thing...... Gee, there's such a big bat in the world?"
Everyone looked nervously when they heard his voice, and saw that this large white area was indeed a huge bat attached to the roof of the cave. The bat was white all over, and although it had two wings curled up, it was at least seven or eight feet long, and if we extrapolated from this, the length of the bat's wings was at least nearly two feet. Is this bat alive or dead, why is it white, and its whole body is attached to the roof of the cave, not hanging upside down like other bats? Hearing this, Jin Lauke asked, "What is a fairy bat?"
Sha Mantian said in horror: "The immortal bat is not only a bat, but it is also very likely to be the king of vampire bats. ”
Everyone looked at each other when they heard the horror he said, but what was strange was that this huge white bat was very honest, not only did it stick motionless to the top of the cave, but even when Li Xuan walked over slowly, its furry body trembled a little.
Li Xuanji had seen a white bat of this size and with a terrifying face, and said with a solemn expression: "Let's pass through here quickly, don't alarm them." As he was talking, He Xiandu, who was walking on the buttress, only felt that his feet were loose, as if he had stepped on something, and he looked down by the faint light of the fire, and it was a soft cloth bag that he stepped on. He lifted his foot and kicked it away, muttering, "Who put this rag bag here, how does it look like a woman's?" Sha Mantian laughed in a low voice: "How can you determine that it is a woman's thing? It seems that you want a woman to go crazy!" He Xian said alone: "Don't you smell a strange fragrance?"
Sha Mantian was stunned when he heard this, 'Ahh Before he finished speaking, he said: "Let's look around under your feet, whether there is such a cloth bag!" When everyone heard this, they hurriedly looked down, and sure enough, they saw that not far from the front and back of the cave, there were twenty or thirty large and small cloth bags scattered, and they replied in unison in surprise: "Yes." Sha Mantian saw these cloth bags and muttered, "If you smell it again, is there a faint smell of blood in the aroma?"
Li Xuan said: "There is indeed a faint smell of blood...... The smell of blood?Vampire bat?Could it be that this is a cloth bag deliberately left by the people of the Medicine King Valley?" As he spoke, he couldn't help but look up at the huge white bat above his head, and saw that it was staring at a pair of bloodshot eyes, staring at himself with a huge tilted head, and its pointed mouth seemed to move. At this moment, Shu Dingwen sighed softly again, it turned out that he was just walking forward, and accidentally stepped on a cloth bag.
The aroma slowly rose, and the smell of blood became stronger and stronger.
At this moment, the bat on the roof of the cave suddenly 'squeaked' for some reason. At first it was one, then it became three and four...... Gradually, the sound became louder and louder, and finally the sound became one, as if someone had plucked thousands of strings, drumming the eardrums, and shaking everyone's already straight heartstrings. The 'squeak' sound became louder and louder, except for Li Xuan, the rest of the people felt the sound of the bats making a sound in unison, like a giant hammer constantly hitting the heart of the eardrum, and even more felt that someone seemed to be holding a curved blade all over his body, in the ice and snow, one by one on his body, one by one on his body, although the body was numb from the cold, there was no pain, but he could detect the fear of the blade cutting through the skin.
Sha Mantian shouted, "This cloth bag...... The scent in this cloth bag is a trap that will attract attacks from vampire bats. Ah, everyone hurry up and huddle up in a ball, squat close to the wall, don't let these blood-sucking beasts bite you!"
Everyone was frightened when they heard his words, and they couldn't help but panic, and they were about to lean their backs against the cliff cave wall, when they suddenly saw several drops of sticky saliva flowing from the mouth of the huge white bat, and a pair of blood-red eyes blinked a few times, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and screamed reluctantly.
Shu Dingwen and Yan Sui heard the white bat monster scream, their legs weakened, and they fell to the ground, struggling and gasping: "The King of Vampire Bat is about to exert his might...... The King of Vampire Bat is about to exert his might......" Li Xuan was a little confused when he saw the two of them struggling on the ground, and was about to reach out and pull the two to his side, but he didn't expect the huge white bat to suddenly volley towards him.
Although he expected this change, he was still a little unprepared. In the midst of his busy schedule, he let out a loud shout, spread his palms and cracked over.
The white giant bat seemed to be psychic abnormally, and without waiting for Li Xuan's palm wind to approach, although it was half-spread its wings, it dodged two or three feet away.
Li Xuan was taken aback, knowing that his trick of 'fake idiocy is not crazy' is still extremely powerful despite his hasty move. The white giant bat seemed to be a little afraid of Li Xuan, and it failed to sneak attack, and was counterattacked by Li Xuan, but he didn't dare to fight, and turned to attack Yuan Yufeng. Seeing this, Li Xuan's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered that Ling Long had said on the central island of the Yellow River that he had been possessed by a divine dragon, possessed the extraordinary ability of a king, and became the king of all kinds of living beings...... If it is not a matter of life and death, most of them will retreat and stay away.
This terrifying white giant bat failed to sneak attack, and turned to attack Yuan Yufeng, is it because I was possessed by the divine dragon?
The white giant bat king made a move, and in an instant, the 'black curtain' woven by the bats on the top of the cave seemed to be blown by the wind, and the 'squeak' sound became even higher-pitched. As the sound became louder and louder, these upside-down bats first floated slowly, and then turned into a rough sea, wave after wave, surging and surging, but listening to the sound of 'boom', thousands of bats rushed towards everyone like a storm.
Everyone had seen such a terrifying scene before, and in shock and panic, Li Xuan pulled Yuan Yufeng behind him, and at the same time waved his right palm sharply, and volleyed out thirteen palms one after another. The thirteen palms wrapped in the internal force were extremely strong, not only forcing the white giant bats to retreat, but also scattering the black bats besieging Jin Laoke, Du Chun, and Sha Mantian.
At this moment, Jin Laoke, Du Chun, and Sha Mantian took the opportunity to firmly protect their hands and feet, and leaned behind Li Xuan, and Li Xuan thought that he had been possessed by the divine dragon, and his panic had disappeared in an instant. Capture the thief and capture the king first.
The huge white bat circled for half a circle, then kicked on the top of the cave, and then pounced on Shu Dingwen and Yan Sui who were lying on the ground.
Seeing this, Li Xuan was in a hurry, his tongue bloomed with spring thunder, and he slapped one palm on the scabbard of the Divine Dance Blade, and the Divine Dance Blade was like an arrow with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and shot towards the white huge bat king's head with a 'whoosh'. This sword flying out of the air was driven by all his strength, not only comparable to meteor light and fire, but also with a strong and fierce killing aura. (To be continued.) )
