Chapter 51 Rewards
In the dim underground, O'Karire used his hands to push away the slime hanging from the rock wall, laughing at Ye Lingfei beside him. "Why is this stuff so sticky, just like snot? Have you cured your mysophobia?"
Ye Lingfei's face was swollen and expressionless. He muttered, "Stop talking nonsense and focus on the road. Those beasts are incredibly cunning. You're here to hunt, not deliver food."
Okari was noncommittal.
Naturally grown fluorescent moss is scattered everywhere, dotted with spots, and is the only light in the cave.
The soil beneath his feet was moist and he could clearly feel the sinking force when he stepped on it. Bats lived there and the air was filled with the musty smell of rotting plants and animals. Okari took a deep breath and it seemed as if some dust had entered his trachea, making him want to cough.
He cleared his throat. Ye Lingfei beside him turned around suddenly and frowned at him warningly. Okari made an "OK" gesture and tried hard to suppress the itch in his throat.
"This game is so awesome."
Okari grabbed a handful of fluorescent moss and squeezed out the juice. Feeling the slight coolness between his fingers, he couldn't help but shake the handle and looked up at the rocks above his head.
Slippery, sticky lichens grew along the cracks in the rock, greedily sucking in nutrients and spreading out like blood vessels. The ground before him seemed like a sleeping body, displaying a surging vitality unlike that of dead matter. Okari was shocked by the real touch and almost forgot it was just a game.
Every frame of the world of immortals and demons is so perfect and real that Okariri cannot imagine how huge the database must be to process such a huge amount of information.
Before he could sigh a few more times, Ye Lingfei, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
Ye Lingfei noticed the sound of wings flapping. He raised one hand and gestured for silence. No need for words, O'Kariri naturally understood what he meant.
Almost at the same time, Okari clenched the sledgehammer in his hand.
“Squeak—”
Deep in the darkness, creepy screams came from far away and got closer. O'Kariri winked at Ye Lingfei, and the two of them separated tacitly. O'Kariri retreated step by step, hid behind a stalactite, and observed his surroundings.
The environment was dim and visibility was low. Okari waited for two breaths. Suddenly, snow-colored bats the size of a "family bucket" swarmed out from the darkness. They screamed and rolled towards Ye Lingfei like a tide.
Okari's heart turned cold, but Ye Lingfei was used to it. He waved his hand and slashed with a knife, raising the hatred value very quickly.
These bats remembered Ye Lingfei's scent. Now they had a clear target and ignored Okariri who was hiding nearby. With their sharp teeth exposed, they pounced towards Ye Lingfei's body.
"Fuck, I just killed a few dozen of your relatives, destroyed your nest, spat in your nursery, and kicked your queen away. That's all, why would you keep chasing me?"
"Don't push me. Don't think you're the only ones with more people. I also brought brothers with me. Okari, take action!"
Ye Lingfei swung his knife to cut through the swarm of bats and couldn't help but wave his hands. However, his good brother Okari was like dead at this time and never responded.
"Damn, I knew you were unreliable."
Ye Lingfei grabbed a swooping snow bat, held its wings with one hand, and swung it violently, smashing it towards his fellow flying species.
Bang.
strike!
After dealing with one group, there are still a bunch left. Ye Lingfei drew his sword and was ready for battle.
The claws of these snow bats are very sharp. They rush down and use the force to easily knock down the prey in front of them. Ye Lingfei jumps left and right to avoid, but is still scratched by them and suffers wounds.
At this time, Ye Lingfei's hair was disheveled and his clothes were torn to shreds. He looked very miserable, especially his skin, which was blue and red, like a delicate flower that had been ravaged.
The claws and sharp teeth of snow bats contain toxins, and the places they scratch will easily ulcerate, swell, and ooze pus. If ordinary people were to deal with these snow bats, they would definitely be afraid, but Ye Lingfei didn't feel anything.
He lowered his sensitivity to pain. As the saying goes, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. The more toxins there are, the more reckless he becomes.
Ye Lingfei cursed at his unreliable teammates while dodging the attacks of snow bats and greeting Okari's family warmly. Just as he was about to warmly greet Okari's ancestors, a cold light suddenly appeared in the darkness.
Ye Lingfei's hair stood on end
Danger danger danger!
He turned his head stiffly, and Okarire stood behind him with an expressionless face.
In an instant, Ye Lingfei jumped away suddenly.
Okarire was holding a wire in his hand and poking a bat. The thin and tough wire went straight into the anus of the snow bat.
Ye Lingfei's scalp tightened and he took a step back.
This guy is so terrifying that he doesn't even spare bats.
The unfortunate snow bat was suddenly stabbed by Okarire, and its whole body trembled violently, shaking off the gray-black powder. It screamed with its mouth wide open, making a piercing sound, which sounded very sad as if it was at the end of its rope and struggling to survive.
Okariri took advantage of the victory and gave a slight turn of his wrist. The bat wailed and raised its head, shaking its upper limbs like an epileptic. The shrill cry scared the group of snow bats so much that they flapped their wings and fled madly. In a short while, they disappeared without a trace.
Ye Lingfei felt a chill in her chrysanthemum and stepped back.
O'Kariri impaled the bat with wire, making it look like a barbecue, and handed it to Ye Lingfei, saying, "Here, it's dead."
Ye Lingfei reached out to take it, his hand trembling, "What made you think of poking it, huh?"
Okari looked at the fool's expression and said, "When it bites you, its anus contracts. Logically, these little creatures usually defecate when fighting, as excretion can reduce their body weight. So I thought the anus might be their Achilles' heel, so I gave it a try, and you saw the effect."
As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Lingfei strangely and mocked him, "According to normal thinking, you are too stupid."
Ye Lingfei: Who in their right mind would stare at a monster's anus?
Despite his inner complaints, this trick was indeed quite effective. Ye Lingfei threw off the snow bats strung on the wire and weighed them casually. "If we poke them one by one, it would be too inefficient. How long will it take to poke so many bats?"
O'Karire smiled ambiguously, slowly pulled out a handful of wire from his sleeve, raised it, and smiled with his white teeth.
"Just get a hedgehog ball and throw it out. You'll definitely hit a few of them."
Ye Lingfei raised his eyebrows, "Then someone needs to attract the snow bat's attention—"
O'Kariri said matter-of-factly, "Since you're already in this state, just sacrifice yourself again. You can't cure this poison anyway, so you can only commit suicide to clear the debuff. Make use of the waste before you die."
Ye Lingfei's eyes became dangerous.
Just as the two were in silent confrontation, a loud male voice interrupted them.
"Ye Lingfei, Ye Lingfei, where have you been? Are you slacking off? I'm telling you, I'll definitely tell the Sect Master about your slacking off!"
"You are betraying the Sect Master's trust in you. As your assistant, I must correct your bad habits. A normal person would never slack off during a mission! For example, I have never slacked off!"
No need to guess who is coming.
This time, Ye Lingfei didn't show any dissatisfaction. He warmly put his arm around Hu Fugui's neck, met his suspicious gaze, and whispered in his ear affectionately, "Old Hu, there's a very serious and great matter that needs someone to do right now."
Before he could finish, Hu Fugui automatically recalled the word "great", coughed twice, and said righteously: "Leave it to me. For the cause of Condensing Mist Sect, I can sacrifice-"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Lingfei squeezed Hu Fugui's neck tightly. "Great! O'Kariri, equip Old Hu. I'll leave it to you to lure the enemy and annihilate them!"
Hu Fugui: Meow meow meow?
A quarter of an hour later, deep underground.
A male player covered with bat corpses was running very fast. Behind him was a group of snow-colored bats with bloodshot eyes. Perhaps he felt that the number of bats he had lured was not large enough, so he grabbed a snow bat corpse in a slightly obscene manner, licked it hard with his tongue in front of the other snow bats, and then sprayed saliva all over the corpse.
This is the best way that Lao Hu has experimented with to irritate the snow bats. No one knows what this action means in the eyes of the snow bats, but as long as he uses it, they will lose their minds and attack Hu Fugui crazily.
Looking at the snow-colored bats swarming towards him, Lao Hu screamed "Oh my God" and ran away.
As they were about to reach the place they had agreed to meet Ye Lingfei, Old Hu began his performance. He shouted, arms outstretched, "For the Lord Sect Master! For the glory of the Condensing Mist Sect! Fire at me! Fire!"
At this moment, Hu Fugui is extremely brave. If we compose a song "Hero" for him and make a short video of it, it will move countless people on the blue planet.
Several wire balls hanging on the top of the rock swung down. Lao Hu suddenly bent down and lay on the ground, narrowly avoiding the wire balls that were flying towards him.
The snow bats that were chasing Hu Fugui were not so lucky. They were attacked from behind by the sharp wire balls. Some were injured and killed by Ye Lingfei who was hiding nearby, while others were directly strung together by the wire.
It was like a rain, with seriously injured bats screaming and falling down one after another.
Hu Fugui curled up, holding his head tightly, waiting for everything to settle down. After Okari finished killing all the bats, he got up again and brushed off the dirt on his body. The dog stealthily found a direction and went in again.
The trio flattened the entire Batcave at an extremely terrifying speed.
The corpses of the snow-colored bats piled up like a small hill, casting a terrifying shadow.
It was getting late, so Ye Lingfei said to Okaliri, "Let's go and call someone to collect the bodies."
O'Kariri sorted out several complete bats, wrapped them up, and prepared to take them back to the players who studied biology in the three-dimensional world for dissection and observation. They didn't know the purpose of the snow bats yet, so they could only figure it out slowly.
They evacuated quickly, deliberately forgetting Hu Fugui who was still luring the enemy.
Just like before, Hu Fugui rushed to the trap and shouted, "For the Lord Sect Master!"
As he spoke, he squatted down as usual and lay on the ground. The difference from before was that this time the wire ball did not swing down. Countless bats bared their teeth and attacked him madly like a tide.
They hated Hu Fugui so much that they specifically targeted his fleshy buttocks, causing Hu Fugui to howl in pain.
In the dim cave, a shrill male voice rang out, "Ye Lingfei, you're dead! I must find the Sect Master and report you!"
"Ah—Master Sect Leader!"
Jian Shiyuan, who was missed by Hu Fugui, also entered into an extremely mysterious enlightenment at this time. A huge golden lotus naturally bloomed behind him. The flower was golden in color, and each petal was soaked in clear and ethereal light, as if it was drunk, swaying with layers of magnificent scenes.
Jian Shiyuan's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of spiritual energy.
He has mastered the first level of the weapon-making inheritance!
