If it was a vampire bat, she would be easily discovered if she went in. Without a concealment talisman, the blood and essence of the creature would surge during its movement and be easily detected.
Especially for creatures like vampire bats that feed on the blood of other animals, she cannot make any mistakes, otherwise she will be discovered.
Li Yiru worriedly set up the formation under the tree beside the cave, wondering whether she should take the risk based on just a little uncertain information.
The bats in the cave were even more excited at night, so she had to go in while they were resting during the day, and now she could meditate and practice to recover.
The injuries in her body had healed a little, so she had to seriously consider whether to enter the cave.
As the sky gradually brightened, the bats that had gone out returned one after another. Li Yiru took a closer look and found that they were indeed vampire bats, just as described in the book, with red eyes and black skin. Adults were 1 foot long (about 33 cm), with pig noses and dog mouths. Most of them were low-level, level 1 monsters, good at group attacks, bloodthirsty, and their wounds were not easy to heal.
Whatever you fear will come true. She suddenly realized that her worst guesses always came true. Her luck was extremely bad.
Li Yiru recalled the descriptions of vampire bats. They were not of high rank, but they often acted in groups and were not easy to deal with. The places where they were bitten would continue to bleed, attracting more bats and even other monsters.
Hundreds of vampire bats returned to the cave, hung upside down, closed their eyes, and then wrapped their bodies with their black wings.
The sun rises, but it is still dark here, with only a faint light shining through. However, they seem to know the time and gradually fall asleep quietly.
The cave was still heading downwards, but the water was still gushing out and flowing. This was the only abnormality she discovered.
The strange fire is different from the flame created by the accumulated fire spirit of the cultivator. It usually cannot be extinguished by water-based spells at once. Li Yiru wants to obtain it so that she can have more protection against Han Yuzhen in the future.
Even if he was willing to escape for the rest of his life, Han Yuzhen might not let him go. She was even very uneasy about the fact that he was in seclusion to break through to the Golden Core stage and let her move freely in the sect. She always suspected that he had some backup plan.
Once she leaves Tianjie Mountain, she must change her clothes immediately, and anything related to the sect must not be left outside.
The wooden stick that pierced her abdomen was still stuck in the ground in the space, at the right length.
Li Yirou took it out, used it to explore the way, and resolutely stepped into the cave.
It was pitch black here. Although the spiritual consciousness could sense the general shape, it was a place where no one had been before. The stones and walls were covered with a layer of moss, making it slippery and difficult to walk on.
Not to mention that there is a pit in the cave, which is full of bat droppings. Although it is also a Chinese medicine, the pungent smell makes Li Yiru's eyes sore, as if she was back to the days of shoveling shit in the Spirit Beast Garden.
She took out the cloth that she had covered her face with, tied it carefully, and continued on her way.
This dead tree is also special. Its color is extremely dark. The ordinary dark color just reflects no light. It looks like it has been burnt and is as black as the bottom of a pot. If you don’t hold it in your hand, it is difficult to even see its shape.
Be careful when passing by the gathering place of vampire bats. There are fewer and fewer bats here. Li Yiru walked deeper for a long time and felt that she was slowly getting cold.
Her previous clothes were torn by the giant bear elephant, so she changed into another inner disciple uniform. After all, it was a magic weapon, which had some protective effect on her and could also regulate the temperature to a certain extent. She would only feel cold when the temperature dropped sharply in the middle of the night.
But the coldness in this cave was of a different kind, as if the cold air penetrated deep into her bones, making her teeth tremble.
Li Yiru took out a quilt and wrapped it around herself, but it was still useless. This kind of coldness could penetrate defenses and was a coldness with spiritual power.
The quilt still slightly affected her movements. Although she was now quite far away from the vampire bats and no living creatures were sensed around her due to the cold, she still put the quilt back to keep her body light.
She mobilized the spiritual energy in the space, constantly circulating and adjusting it, so her limbs were not so stiff when they moved.
The various anomalies she discovered after entering the cave made her more determined to explore. There must be something here, and she didn't want to give up.
Without experiencing life and death, how could one become strong? She accepted death in her quest for strength; it was the price she paid for her goal.
But if she was plotted to die, she would definitely not be willing to accept it. Why? She did not actively harm others because of the good results of her previous life's education.
But if someone harmed her, she would definitely repay them double if she got the chance. Han Yuzhen's stimulation gave her even more courage to be unstoppable.
Li Yirou resisted the cold and continued to go deeper. Ice walls and ice layers had gradually begun to form in the cave, but she became more and more excited. Recalling that the red-lined python seemed to be covered with frost!
It must be here, it must be here! She mobilized her spiritual energy to its maximum potential, but moving it while walking was not as easy as meditating.
Li Yirou supported herself with a wooden stick, and her whole body had become increasingly stiff without her noticing. Her body was covered with ice crystals, which gradually expanded on her clothes and skin, and slowly merged into one piece. At this time, Li Yirou finally found a small ball of light floating in the air in the ice cave.
It emits a faint light, the outer layer is white, the middle is light blue, and the inner flame is deeper. The shape is random, like a snowflake in the cold winter, dancing and spinning.
The moment she saw it, Li Yirou finally confirmed her suspicions: she had found the Strange Fire! Infinite pride rose in her heart, and she strode towards the nearby Strange Fire.
She didn't know that she had been frozen into a human-shaped ice sculpture. The strange fire surrounded her left and right, wrapping the ice on her body thicker and freezing her more solid.
When Li Yiru realized something was wrong, she could only move her eyes and breathe through her nose, but this little bit of autonomy was gradually being taken away by the strange fire.
Something was wrong. A simple cold flame was just icy, but this one bewitched Li Yirou the moment she saw it. Otherwise, how could she not pay attention to her own condition and walk towards it without fear of death!
She had never seen the power of this strange fire in books. It had the ability to chill people to the point of ignoring defense, create hallucinations that affected thinking, and because it was accompanied by a red-lined python, it must be poisonous.
Li Yiru tried her best to circulate her spiritual power to protect her Dantian and Lingtai, so as not to completely lose her spiritual energy and consciousness.
She closed her eyes and slowed her breathing. Because of the silver bracelet, the strange fire did not notice her disguise. Thinking it had completely controlled her, it created a hole under her and she fell into it.
Sensing the departure of the strange fire, Li Yiru's spiritual consciousness detected objects of various shapes in the underground ice layer. She struggled to open her eyes and saw corpses frozen in the clear but deep ice layer around her, one after another.
