Chapter 654 Bat Swarm
Soon, a large, dark mass appeared within the range of everyone's divine senses.
The space was filled with the sound of flight, the flapping of wings carrying a kind of sonic pressure that was uncomfortable to the ears.
"Oh no, these bats smell of corpses. They feed on carcasses, and they're huge. They've been exposed to the ghostly energy for years and have mutated."
Zhong Yan's expression turned solemn. He casually flicked out wisps of black flame, sending them flying first.
Zhong Ran and Mu Jinning also launched their flame attacks from different directions simultaneously.
If they don't act now, and the bats swarm around them, they'll be in real trouble.
These creatures came in large groups, and even they dared not be careless in the slightest.
In the past few days, when we were on the outskirts, we were protected by formations and did not encounter any other dangers.
After entering the Life and Death Stone interface, they encountered bone beasts and remnant souls in the trees, all of which they could easily deal with.
They thought this was all the danger they were looking for, but now it seems they were being far too naive.
The attack of the flames threw the leading swarm of bats into chaos, and they were all reduced to ashes before they could even scream.
This further enraged the swarm of bats behind them, which then swarmed towards the four of them.
Zhong Ran formed a hand seal, and a layer of flames formed a small barrier, protecting them in the middle.
She also sent out Little Fire to attack the bats.
The bat was entirely black, emanating a putrid stench and a strong aura of death.
They looked like bats from hell.
It is huge; a single open wing is as long as an adult's arm, and with both wings together, the overwhelming pressure is even greater.
Moreover, they weren't just one or two, but in large groups.
These carrion bats can only be killed with fire. If you try to kill them by force, you'll probably be exhausted before you finish.
She kept popping out flames, splitting them in two, then in four, and the flames all over the sky attacked the swarm of bats.
Mu Jinning and Zhong Yan were also constantly probing with their fire attacks. Although they had a lot of fire, there were also a lot of bats, which seemed to be endless and were attacking them.
Even though they were protected by a fire barrier, they still fearlessly pounced on them.
It seems they lacked a deeper level of awareness and only knew how to attack.
After being burned, it let out a sharp cry and was burned to ashes.
Those that were dead beyond any hope of survival transformed into a wisp of energy that dissipated into the space.
The space, already filled with the aura of death, now had an even stronger stench of decay, making one want to vomit.
Fortunately, the fire barrier will make them feel much better.
None of the three dared to be careless, and the flames continued unbroken.
"These things keep attacking, as if they are being controlled."
Logically speaking, the flames here are so intense, clearly the bane of bats, and they should have sensed the danger and retreated.
But they kept attacking.
"They have all been affected by the deathly aura here and have lost all thought."
Mu Jinning's flames carried a purifying power, which also purified much of the stench in the space.
The fire of Zhong Ran and her brother is the fire of death; anything touched by it is absolutely annihilated, some even rotting away.
Many more bats died as a result, and the stench persisted.
Zhong Ran watched for a while and noticed a pair of particularly large bats watching from a distance.
The distance was too great; their divine senses couldn't detect that far inside. If she hadn't activated the Fire Source Pearl and used the power of flames to sense the outside world, she wouldn't have been able to find the two giant bat kings at all.
"There seems to be a pair of bat kings over there. I'll go burn them."
She activated the power of the Fire Source Pearl, and the flames flew into the distance.
The power of the Fire Source Bead is the purest fire source power, continuous and extremely hot.
As soon as the power of the Fire Source Pearl was unleashed, the bats, which seemed oblivious to the danger, finally slowed down.
They seemed to finally sense the danger, and instead of rushing over there, they didn't leave either, but instead gathered at a distance, constantly dodging the flames.
The Bat King, seeing the flames approaching from afar, let out a sharp cry.
The remaining bats then turned around and quickly flew away.
Even after the bats had left, Zhong Ran was still shaken and slowly withdrew the flames.
No wonder the older generation says that very few people who go in here come out alive.
They hadn't thought much of it before, but after tonight, they realized that something was amiss.
The flames died down, leaving only a few bat carcasses on the ground; most had been burned to ashes.
The air was filled with a foul stench that made people extremely nauseous.
There were still flames everywhere, the temperature was very high, and the surrounding area had turned fiery red.
"Sister, those big birds seem to be changing." Ah Sheng had been watching the bats closely, and now that he noticed the change, he quickly reminded Zhong Ran.
Zhong Ran and the others looked over and saw that the bat corpses were slowly melting. Their flesh and feathers turned into death energy and flowed into the space, still emitting that putrid smell.
It left a skeleton there, then buzzed and flew away into the depths.
The four of them were dumbfounded. The bats they had seen before had been burned to ashes, so they had never witnessed anything like this before.
"Does this mean that all the dead animal and human corpses, their flesh and blood will turn into death energy, and their bones will disappear?"
Yes, the bones ran away, heading deeper into the valley.
Later on, they will continuously transform into bone beasts and attack people.
If monsters transform into bone beasts, will humans do the same?
Why are those bone beasts all heading deeper into the depths? Or is there some terrifying force controlling everything from there?
The three exchanged a glance, their eyes all showing seriousness.
So far, they have not found any human skeletons, but judging from the current situation, they are probably all inside.
"Let's get out of here first; the stench is disgusting."
Zhong Ran didn't want to stay here a moment longer, so she went inside first.
Flames were still burning on some parts of the ground. All three of them possessed considerable fire power, and most of the gray and white plants here had been burned.
There were still flames on the ground, and Zhong Ran and the other three stepped over them until the flames were extinguished.
But the high temperature persisted, and the stench in the air seemed to have lessened somewhat.
As we left the area, the sky brightened, but it was even darker than before.
She looked up at the sky and said softly, "It seems to be related to those bats from last night."
Mu Jinning looked ahead, and although there was nothing there, he still felt something was wrong.
"Ranran, look ahead, is there a formation?"
Zhong Ran was taken aback. After entering from the outside, she hadn't found any more formations and thought there wouldn't be any more.
She activated her Eye of Illusion to look over, and there was indeed a formation there, and it was an extremely ancient and complex maze.
