Chapter 680 Vampire Bats
Kong Wange was already on edge, but upon hearing Qin Feng's command, she immediately collapsed to the ground without a second thought.
Wen Luoyun was half a second slower than usual. In the darkness, she met a pair of eerily glowing eyes, and her heart trembled. The next moment, she felt a chill on her arm.
She belatedly cried out in pain, and was then pulled down by Kong Wange beside her.
A dark, swirling mass swept overhead, accompanied by a constant stream of shrill cries.
Wen Luoyun clutched her arm, which was throbbing from being grabbed, and trembled as she exclaimed, "What... what the hell is this?!"
Qin Feng said in a deep voice, "Vampire bats."
"What?" Wen Luoyun heard it clearly, but didn't quite understand.
In her world, such a thing should only appear in fantasy novels, not above her head!
Qin Feng was much more rational than her and quickly said, "These things have probably been here for who knows how long. If they haven't touched blood, that's fine, but once they have, they won't leave easily until they've sucked us dry. I'll count to three, you two find a place to hide, and I'll distract them and cover our retreat."
Kong Wange knew this was the best solution at the moment, and immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Okay."
Upon hearing this, Wen Luoyun's eyes flickered, revealing something he was planning.
After Qin Feng called out three times, she and Kong Wange ran out together. Kong Wange wanted to grab her to hide together, but she missed.
However, in such a situation, everyone was too busy taking care of themselves to think about anything else.
At first, only one wave of bats passed by; the rest, though not in large groups, were still extremely troublesome.
Qin Feng pulled a curved knife from the backpack on his back and slashed at the vampire bats that were rushing towards him.
For a moment, the air was filled not only with the smell of blood, but also with an indescribable stench.
Although Kong Wange did not have Qin Feng's fighting ability, she carried with her a drug specifically for insects and ants, thinking it was better to be prepared than not. She did not expect it to come in handy so soon.
Whenever a bat rushed towards her, she would scatter it in that direction, and the bat would instantly fall from mid-air.
They fought and ran forward. If there weren't many bats, or if the road wasn't so long, they might have been able to escape successfully.
However, the truth is that they were unlucky.
Wave after wave of bats attacked them, and both Kong Wange and Qin Feng sustained injuries.
The smell of blood further enraged the bats, who seemed determined not to give up until they had captured them!
Kong Wange's sedative was running low, and she immediately said, "Master Qin, this can't go on!"
Qin Feng was aware of this, but at the moment, he had no better strategy than to confront the issue head-on.
"Run forward! No matter how long this road is, it will eventually come to an end. Only by running out can we have a chance to survive!" Qin Feng shouted sternly.
Kong Wange then took a deep breath and ran wildly, but after only a few steps, she stumbled and was knocked to the ground.
In a panic, she shone her flashlight on the ground and discovered a dead body lying at her feet.
Judging from the looks of it, it must have been someone from the Tang family, who had just died not long ago.
She didn't care about anything else, got up and kept running.
However, the road was much longer than they had imagined.
Even when I was about to run out of breath, I still couldn't see where the end was.
Kong Wange gasped for breath and gritted her teeth. Was they going to die before they even got started?
But even if you really die, at least die a worthy death. What kind of nonsense is it to be killed by a bunch of disgusting bats?!
Just as she was feeling resentful, a voice suddenly came from not far away: "What the hell is that thing?!"
"It's vampire bats! Everyone grab your weapons and keep these things away!"
Shen Li's voice suddenly came, and Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said to Kong Wange, "Hold on a little longer, our people are here!"
Kong Wange also heard the commotion, and her spirits lifted. She immediately began to spray the medicine with even more enthusiasm.
The sounds of someone running and cursing grew closer and closer.
Kong Wange felt inexplicably at ease.
"Brother Feng!"
"Boss!"
"Sister Wan Ge!"
As the sounds came, Shen Li and his group met up with Qin Feng and Kong Wange.
Qin Feng looked at Hou Kai and the others beside Shen Li, his brows furrowing deeply: "Why are you the ones who came? Where are Lao Sun and Lao Zhao?!"
Upon hearing this, Hou Kai immediately said, "Boss, you can judge us later. The most important thing right now is how to get rid of these bastards!"
Now is definitely not the time to pursue this matter.
Qin Feng took a deep breath and said, "Take good care of yourselves, try not to get hurt, keep running forward, and don't fall behind!"
"receive!"
So, what started as a group of two people running wildly quickly turned into a large group of twelve people.
However, because there were more people, the speed at which the bats were killed increased, and the pressure on Kong Wange and Qin Feng was instantly reduced.
Not long after, Shen Li's voice suddenly came from not far away: "Boss, there's a river ahead!"
The group immediately looked ahead.
Sure enough, when the group reached the end of the narrow cave, the view suddenly opened up, revealing an underground river flowing quietly just a few dozen meters ahead.
"Is there anyone who can't swim?!" Qin Feng shouted.
"No!"
"Alright, hold your breath and jump into the river!"
Those who ran fast had already reached the riverbank. As soon as Qin Feng finished speaking, there were splashes of water.
"Miss Kong, you..."
"Don't worry, Master Qin, I'm a good swimmer," Kong Wange said immediately, knowing his concerns.
Qin Feng glanced at her and nodded.
The two then jumped into the river together!
After everyone dived into the river, the surface quickly returned to calm.
A swarm of vampire bats circled over the river for a while before fluttering away.
After a while, Old Qi was the first to give in and popped his head out of the water.
As soon as he surfaced, he gasped for air.
As a signal, once he surfaced, the others emerged from underwater one after another.
Everyone was clearly holding it in for a long time, and they all coughed violently as soon as they came out.
"That thing...it's gone, isn't it?" Hou Kai gasped.
"It seems to be gone..." Old Qi looked around: "Is that thing afraid of water?"
"Nonsense! Have you ever seen a bat that isn't afraid of water? It's a good thing there's a river, otherwise we would all be dead here today!"
Having survived the ordeal, Hou Kai relaxed a bit and turned to Lao Qi, saying, "Weren't you known as the underwater tyrant? Well, look what happened, you were the first one who couldn't hold your breath!"
Old Qi retorted, "You're something else! You only held your breath for two seconds longer than me!"
Hou Kai glared at him: "Wasn't it because you were the one who showed up first that I couldn't help myself..."
"Alright, shut up, all of you." Qin Feng said sternly from not far away.
Qin Feng's shout silenced them both.
Hou Kai swam towards Qin Feng and said ingratiatingly, "Boss, we arrived just in time, didn't we? Don't underestimate us just because we're young. As long as we have knives in our hands, we can still wreak havoc!"
Qin Feng glanced at him without saying anything, then turned to look around: "Let's get ashore first. No one has crossed the underground river for too long, so there's no guarantee that something else might be resurfacing."
Having just experienced a terrifying blood-sucking ordeal, the group felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing that something else was to come. The river that had just saved their lives no longer seemed so welcoming; instead, it was dark, cold, and sent shivers down their spines.
