Chapter 97 Battle
The others quickly surrounded Gu Qing. Their previous training had paid off, and they worked together very well to protect Gu Qing perfectly.
Besides sucking blood, the only way these bats attack is by releasing a foul odor. This odor is not only unpleasant but also contains a slight toxin that can numb the human nerve.
The group had already taken the antidote when they discovered the bats, and since these bats were not of a high level, they could handle them for the time being, so they did not notify the patrol team.
After all, the combat strength of these individuals was considered above average in the camp, and Chen Xingheng had just advanced in rank.
But as time went on and darkness fell, the number of vampire bats did not decrease; on the contrary, their levels increased as time went on.
At first, they were only level two or three, but now level six ones are appearing sporadically. Level six vampire bats are not only powerful in size but also have strong venom.
Most importantly, it can use sonic attacks. Although it should only launch one attack after a long time, its attacks have caused great suffering to several low-level players.
Moreover, Chen Xingheng knew that encountering this sonic attack multiple times would cause mental pollution, so he directly rode the white tiger to fight.
The white tiger is not as agile as a bat, and its large size makes it vulnerable to attack. Chen Xingheng has not had enough time to adapt since he just advanced.
He suffered some losses at first, but this also disrupted the frequency of the noise he was releasing. Once he found his rhythm, he turned around and killed the sixth-tier vampire bat.
But the bat emitted an ultrasonic wave at the last moment before it was killed, and just as they finished cleaning up the battlefield, another batch of vampire bats flew over.
Chen Xingheng shouted "Retreat!" and a group of people ran frantically towards the camp. The main problem was that the ultrasonic wave had disrupted the signal, and Chen Xingheng's blood was churning from the shock.
The others almost lost their ability to move. Gu Qing ran frantically, feeling like she was being pulled into the air, but she dared not relax for a moment.
Even so, they couldn't run 500 meters before an even larger vampire bat, accompanied by two bats of similar size, came along.
The group was stopped, and when they turned around, they saw swarms of low-level bats flying towards them.
The group formed a back-to-back circle, protecting Gu Qing inside, preparing for a desperate battle. Their spiritual manifestations were also lying on the ground, roaring.
"Damn it, these vampire bats' lair isn't close to here, how did they get here?" Lu Feng held a long spear in his hand, took a step back, and held the spear horizontally in front of his chest in a defensive posture.
"Yes, we were saying before that we'd get rid of them after this was all over," Chen Xingheng said through gritted teeth.
"Could something have happened at their hideout?" Zhang Ze asked, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"What kind of change? If there's been a change, it's no small matter. If it's man-made, then it's terrible. This place isn't close to the camp." Yang Dong was quite thoughtful.
A level 7 vampire bat, accompanied by two level 6 helpers, swooped down.
Chen Xingheng directly opened the energy shield, which could only be opened after reaching S-rank. This energy shield consumed too much energy, but if he didn't block the three high-level vampire bats, Gu Qing would definitely be injured.
The ultrasound just now had caused Gu Qing to bleed from the corner of her mouth and become unsteady on her feet.
As the bat crashed into the energy shield, several people attacked together. Chen Xingheng and the Great White Tiger joined forces, and the level 7 vampire bat was first slashed on the wing by a sword, and then swatted aside by the Great White Tiger.
The seventh-tier beast was already quite intelligent. Using the force of being swatted away, it rolled twice and flew up again.
The other two were also injured in the attack, one of which had its wing pierced by Lu Feng's gun, but unfortunately neither injury was fatal.
Of the three men, one was seriously injured and the other two were slightly injured. This time, instead of fighting it out themselves, they called on their friends.
A swarm of low-level vampire bats swarmed over, and Chen Xingheng's ice-type, Lu Feng's wind-type, Zhang Ze's wood-type, and Yang Dong's water-type all mobilized at once.
Gu Qing also took out a short sword and held it in her hand for self-defense.
Just when the group was in dire straits, the branches of the trees in the distance suddenly extended infinitely, and the low-level vampire bats were enveloped in a giant net woven from the branches.
Immediately afterwards, thick earthen walls appeared around them, protecting them in the middle, and the group took the opportunity to stuff energy pills and essence pills into their mouths.
Since they started following Chen Xingheng, these pills and supplies have been distributed a month in advance, so they have no shortage of them.
Chen Xingheng had a few people protect Gu Qing, while he jumped out of the protective circle of the earthen wall, mounted the white tiger, and directly confronted the level seven vampire bat.
This time, with no worries about the future, he can take the plunge without hesitation.
