Everyone brought some weapons with them when they came out, but these swords and knives didn't seem to be very effective against the bats, so they had no choice but to desperately try to avoid being captured and run back the way they came.
"Ugh, how boring~"
When Yue Jiuxing saw a bat about to fly over and grab her, she threw a small fireball at it, then yawned and said to her sixth uncle who had run up to her, "By the way, why are these things so big? What do they usually eat when they're hiding in the tomb?"
"How would I know? Quick, help us!"
Uncle Liu's eyes lit up when he saw Yue Jiuxing easily kill a giant bat, and he ran over. He said, "Little girl, I didn't expect your fire control skills to be so amazing. Hurry up and save us!"
Even the big boss and Sister Qing rushed over and said, "Quick, burn these things to death! There are too many of them!"
"Help!"
Seeing that more and more people were coming to them for shelter, Yue Jiuyue and Yue Jiuxing had no choice but to set fire to the area and burn all the bats to the ground. After all, it wouldn't be right to just watch their fellow travelers get hurt and not help them.
After burning all the bats, they went to count the number of people and found that several people had died. Liu Xue and Wang Heng were definitely not going to survive, because they had been hit on the head by the bats and were bleeding profusely. Moreover, before he died, Wang Heng kept muttering, "The dream has come true, the dream has come true."
Hearing his words, the others didn't quite understand what he meant, but seeing that he was beyond saving, they put Liu Xue's body down and let him be with Wang Heng.
After this accident, everyone learned about Yue Jiuxing's strength. The crowd changed their attitude from disdain to enthusiasm, and they all gathered around them, asking about their well-being and even offering to help them carry their bags.
"Well, you don't need to do that. No matter what you do, we will not teach you the fire control technique."
When several people asked them if the fire control technique was easy to learn and if they could teach it, Yue Jiuxing said helplessly, "I'm sorry, this spell is a family heirloom and cannot be taught to outsiders. However, we will try our best to save everyone next time we encounter danger."
"Oh, I see. Well, it's a shame about that. I'd like to learn it too!"
After hearing this, Uncle Liu said regretfully, "I only know a little about feng shui and can draw a few talismans, but I don't know anything else. It seems that people in the metaphysics circle are all talented. We half-baked people are too bad."
That's right. Although Uncle Liu and Old Song are both veterans here, they are only half-baked in the metaphysics circle and cannot be compared with those from big families.
The big boss standing to the side also said, "Alas, I really want to meet some truly accomplished people, but the opportunities are very few. It would be great if I could get to know more people like you."
Upon hearing his words, Yue Jiuxing chuckled inwardly: "Heh, you really want to? You have no idea how aloof people in this circle are. Ordinary righteous people disdain associating with people like you. At most, they might cooperate with the government or departments, or they might just shut themselves away for cultivation and only come out of seclusion for major events. How could they possibly play with people like you?"
"Haha, well, that depends on fate."
Yue Jiuxing chuckled and said, "Let's go, aren't we going to keep going?"
“Yes, this road is probably the nest of those bats. Let’s go back to that stone gate and open it.”
"Yes, now we have no choice but to go back and open the door."
Old Song also said.
On their way back, Yue Jiuyue and Yue Jiuxing were still at the very back. As they left the corpses, they heard some faint 'squeak squeak squeak' sounds. It seemed that not all the bats had been burned. Perhaps half of them had hidden away, or perhaps some had been away from home for a while and were only now returning.
However, they weren't afraid of the sound, because they weren't afraid that the bats would chase after them. The bats couldn't find them until they saw the murderer.
