Chapter 77: Enemies in the Cave
“How can that be?”
“What’s not to like? I’m your senior sister. What’s mine is yours.”
Ling Ling smiled lightly. When she married him and brought him home in the future, Su Yan himself would be hers. What were a few alchemy materials!
“Then thank you, Senior Sister.”
Su Yan really wanted to refuse, but he needed materials for alchemy, so he didn’t stand on ceremony.
“If we find anything good next, you should pick first, Senior Sister.”
Su Yan wanted to make it up to her.
Ling Ling smiled and nodded.
The spiritual energy gathered here. There should be a spirit-gathering formation or something similar carved here. The two continued to walk inside and found more precious spiritual plants. They continued to advance while picking them.
“Senior Sister, have you noticed anything wrong?”
Su Yan suddenly stopped, looking at the deep darkness ahead, his feet suddenly hesitant.
Ling Ling didn’t speak, but her actual reaction had already explained the problem. The small sword hidden under her skirt suddenly appeared. Under a blue light, it returned to its original size and hovered beside the two of them.
Seeing Ling Ling take out her weapon, Su Yan became a little nervous. He looked into the darkness and saw pairs of red, glowing eyes that made his hair stand on end.
“What are those things?”
Su Yan’s eyes widened, trying to distinguish them carefully. And just then, Ling Ling suddenly made a move.
“Find a place to hide!”
Ling Ling said as she drove her flying sword, and the sword light shot up into the sky.
“Pfft!”
The sound of a sharp weapon piercing through flesh was heard. Su Yan looked up and only then realized that, at some point, the red-eyed monsters had appeared above their heads. They moved silently, and he hadn’t noticed them at all.
“Are these monsters bats?”
Looking at the monsters that had fallen to the ground, they had bat fangs and the shape of a bat, but their bodies were much larger, the size of a millstone, looking very creepy.
“Hurry up and retreat!”
Ling Ling said loudly. The number of suddenly appearing monsters was extremely large, several hundred under her divine sense. Although their strength was not great, they were very troublesome to deal with.
She wanted Su Yan to find a safe place to hide and then call him over after she was done.
Don’t underestimate me!
Su Yan complained in his heart. He found that these monsters were not strong and were completely within his ability to handle.
Just as he was thinking this, a sharp screech was heard. The air distorted visibly. Ling Ling’s body flashed, and with a crack, a crack appeared on the solid ground.
An invisible attack? A sound wave?
Su Yan was a little surprised. The bat monsters actually had this kind of ability?
“Don’t just stand there in a daze!”
Ling Ling had dodged the attack but found that Su Yan was standing still. She was immediately anxious. Didn’t he know how to dodge? What if he was hit?
Su Yan was in a daze when he suddenly felt a tightness around his waist. Ling Ling grabbed him and leaped away from the spot.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
The moment the two left, countless translucent sound waves appeared, hitting the ground. For a moment, rubble flew, and a pit appeared on the ground.
Seeing this, Su Yan’s face turned pale. He had actually been in a daze at a time like this. If it weren’t for his senior sister, he would have been seriously injured by now!
Ling Ling was just about to scold him but found that his face was pale. She quickly comforted him in a soft voice, “Don’t be afraid. It’s always like this the first time. I’ll protect you.”
With that, Ling Ling found a safe place to put Su Yan down, and a light bloomed from her body.
These bat monsters were creatures of darkness. Seeing the light at this moment, they were immediately filled with disgust. As if they had been taunted, they all flapped their wings and flew towards Ling Ling.
Flap, flap!
The sound of flapping wings rose and fell. The number of bats was extremely large, looking like a dark cloud covering the sky.
Seeing this, Ling Ling was not flustered at all. She had experienced too much danger. This was nothing.
Watching these bat monsters approach, she made a hand seal, and the hovering flying sword turned into a blue light, rapidly shuttling through the darkness.
Pfft, pfft!
The sound of piercing was endless.
Each sword light took away a monster. As for the monsters’ attacks, she dodged what she could and blocked what she couldn’t with her magic tool.
These low-level monsters of the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment stages were no match for her. Unless Ling Ling stood still and let these monsters attack, it was possible to break through her defense. But she was obviously not that foolish.
“Senior Sister is so amazing!”
Su Yan watched from the side with excitement. The nervousness from his first encounter with the monsters had faded, and he had now almost completely calmed down.
It’s just a group of bats. No big deal!
Thinking this, seeing Ling Ling’s heroic posture of fighting one against a hundred, his excitement was beyond words.
Ling Ling completely received Su Yan’s cheers and encouragement. Because she was worried that Su Yan would be in danger, she had always kept a part of her divine sense on him. Now, seeing his burning gaze, Ling Ling felt even more powerful and killed the monsters with even more vigor.
“Pfft!”
She cut a pouncing bat monster in half with one sword strike. The damaged internal organs, due to inertia, flew towards her head.
Ling Ling looked at the filth blocked by her protective spiritual light and frowned slightly.
These monsters couldn’t hurt her, but they were disgusting. Their blood had a sour and foul smell, which was really unbearable.
“If we were outside, I would definitely teach you a lesson!”
The space in the cave was narrow. Using a high-power technique risked a collapse. Ling Ling couldn’t use techniques and could only kill the monsters with her sword.
“Although the efficiency is a bit low, it’s only a matter of time before I wipe them all out.”
Ling Ling thought to herself as her flying sword shuttled back and forth among the monsters.
Just then, a faint, almost inaudible hum sounded. Ling Ling’s body trembled. She felt dizzy, and her vision began to blur.
“What’s going on?”
Ling Ling was extremely puzzled. Her protective magic tool and her protective spiritual light were both intact. What was with this sudden dizziness?
Wait!
Bats, sound waves, sound…
Ling Ling suddenly looked up and was shocked to find several obviously larger bats hiding behind the monsters, their eyes glowing red, their mouths full of sharp teeth, emitting silent screeches.
“So it’s these guys!”
She hadn’t expected there to be such special monsters here. Ling Ling had no means to defend against sound wave attacks and had suffered a hidden loss.
But since she understood the nature of the attack, it was very simple to resolve.
Ling Ling temporarily cut off her hearing. She had thought the dizziness would gradually recover, but the situation did not improve.
“Not just sound, but also a very powerful illusion?”
Ling Ling’s brows furrowed tightly. It seemed these monsters were not ordinary bats, but a strange kind of demon. Their attack methods were very strange, and she couldn’t think of a solution for the time being.
“I can only kill them.”
Since she couldn’t solve the problem, she would solve the person who created the problem
