Chapter Fifty-One: Blood Bat Cave

  A thick fog enveloped the sky above Blood Fang Mountain, a sword light slowly flew through the air, Wang Ke stood on the flying sword, his eyes scanning below, searching for the location of the Blood Bat Cave was not an easy task.

  Suddenly, when the king's sword and flying knife were about to split the valley above, they stopped. The valley above was shrouded in a thick black mist, with a faint red mist slowly rising from the valley and dissipating into the air as soon as it left the valley.

  Wang Ke stayed on the surface of the rift, watching as a faint red mist appeared and disappeared below, smelling a faint scent of blood in his nose, his face turned serious.

  "It should be down here" With a flash of sword light, Wang Ke shot downwards into the rift valley, passing through thick black fog and landing on a small platform.

  All that can be seen is the extremely steep valley, and at the end of the valley there is a dark round cave. Not far from the entrance of the cave, there is a huge rock. If you stand far away, you can only see the outer rock.

  "No wonder it's been so long since we found it" Wang Ke's sword light retracted, landing on a stone, and a blue glow flashed outside his body. A cyan light screen appeared, isolating the external decay aura, then walked towards the entrance of the cave.

  Standing at the entrance of the cave, a gust of dark wind swept out from inside, and Wang Ke's eyebrows furrowed. This dark wind was actually able to erode the spiritual energy shield outside his body, showing that it was not simple at all.

  But since he had come to the entrance of the cave, Wang could say nothing and retreated, so he walked quickly inside. As soon as he entered the cave, a strange cry of "squeak" suddenly appeared in his ears, followed by a black shadow rushing out from inside the cave.

  These black shadows suddenly turned into a group of strange bats, the smallest of which were as big as fists, with wings spread out to about half a foot long. Their eyes shone with a blood-red glow, and what was most terrifying were the two-inch-long fangs exposed outside, looking exceptionally ugly and ferocious.

  "Is this the Blood Bat?" Wang Ke's expression changed as he sized them up, and from these blood bats, he actually felt a chill, like a spiritual energy.

  Suddenly, several blood bats flew up and hit the cyan light shield outside his body. In an instant, Wang Ke felt that the spiritual power light shield outside his body fluctuated violently and began to weaken obviously.

  "What's going on!" Feeling the weakening of his spiritual energy, Wang Ke was shocked and turned his gaze, only to see several fist-sized blood bats stuck to the spiritual energy shield outside his body, their sharp teeth piercing into the shield and gnawing at it non-stop. The spots where the blood bats' teeth had pierced the shield were slowly being drained of spiritual energy.

  Wang Ke did not expect that this inconspicuous blood bat could actually gnaw at the spiritual power light shield. In a state of shock, he quickly reacted and saw his external spiritual power light shield violently shaking, with a powerful force instantly acting on several blood bats.

  “Bang……” The blood bat that was stuck to the spiritual energy shield was shattered and turned into a bloody mist in an instant. The air suddenly began to fill with a bloody smell, but at this moment, even more intense squeaking sounds came from inside, followed by a black cloud floating out from within.

  "Not good!" Looking at the black cloud floating out from inside, Wang Ke's face changed color, and he didn't know how many blood bats were rushing up this time. Suddenly, several sword lights shot out from his body.

  A sword light flashed around Wang Ke's body, condensing into a sword net outside. Countless blood bats rushed over and crashed onto the sword net, instantly exploding and turning into bloody foam. Seeing the endless stream of blood bats, Wang Ke's expression suddenly turned solemn, and he quickly walked inside.

  Inside the cave, it was dark and humid, with a hint of decay in the air. King's sword flashed around him, and one by one, the blood bats fell to the ground. In just an instant, countless corpses had already fallen on the ground along the way.

  "How detestable, are these blood bats not afraid of death?" King Ke felt a bit helpless at this moment, although many blood bats had already died, yet the ones rushing over did not seem to decrease in number.

  But what he didn't notice was that among this group of bats, a huge bat with a wingspan of over one foot was hiding in the flock.

  Suddenly, a black light flashed, and the blood bat transformed into a black awn that charged towards Wang Ke. In an instant, it collided with the sword light outside Wang Ke's body, producing a series of dense "ding" sounds that entered Wang Ke's ears.

  Only to see this blood bat actually waving its small claws and entwining with Wang Ke's sword light, issuing a burst of sounds, then opening its mouth to spew out a thick bloody mist. The bloody mist floated over, wrapping around the flying sword, instantly making Wang Ke feel that the flying sword had become somewhat slow. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the blood bat suddenly charged forward, instantly arriving at Wang Ke's side. Its massive body was stuck to the spiritual energy light shield outside Wang Ke's body, its two-inch-long fangs suddenly stabbing into the spiritual energy light shield outside Wang Ke's body. In an instant, Wang Ke felt that the spiritual energy of his outer light shield was rapidly draining away.

  The strange blood bat was extremely fast, and Wang Ke had just reacted when his face sank, a sword light shot out from his body in an instant, shooting fiercely at the blood bat on the spiritual power shield.

  A sharp sword light flashed by, and the huge blood bat was cut in half from the middle. A piece of bloody mist burst open, the corpse fell to the ground, Wang Ke's face sank, and he released several more sword lights that revolved around him, flying and dancing at the same time. His right hand shone brightly, and the Xuan Tie Flying Sword appeared in his hand. The Fei Yun Step was performed under his feet.

  A sword net densely covered the outside, a flying sword in hand drew out clusters of sword flowers, which enveloped a large patch of bat shadows in front, and instantly ten blood bats were crushed by the sword flowers and fell to the ground.

  At this time, Wang Ke had already accelerated his speed. Under the impact of these blood bats, his own advancing speed was a bit slow, and the consumption of his spiritual power was very fast.

  The cave twisted and turned, leading directly to the depths, but I didn't know how much deeper it went. The closer I got to the inside, the colder and more eerie the air felt, and there were more bats around me, including those large ones with sturdy bodies.

  Furthermore, Wang Ke noticed that these blood bats were not just simple on the surface, some of them actually understood simple attack methods, as if they had been trained.

  "Could it be that these blood bats can also cultivate like the spiritual beasts?" King Ke's expression slightly changed as he thought about it, and it wasn't entirely impossible. The yin energy in this underground cave was extremely dense, and using this yin energy to cultivate wouldn't be a strange thing. Suddenly, the image of the mysterious snake outside the forbidden area appeared in King Ke's mind, causing his heart to tremble.

  "I wonder if such a thing exists here" Thinking that the mysterious snake could cultivate to a realm close to the Cong Dan period outside of the forbidden land, Wang Ke wondered if there might also be a blood bat in this Blood Bat Cave that had cultivated to a high and profound realm. If such a blood bat really existed, it would be troublesome.

  Suddenly, Wang Ke stopped in his tracks, his eyes suddenly becoming serious. In front of him was a spacious cave, with hundreds of large blood bats hanging from the top of the cave. These blood bats were very different from those outside.

  You could feel a strong aura emanating from each of the Blood Bats, and their bodies were much larger than those outside. Even their wings had a faint bloody glow to them.

  As soon as Wang Ke entered the cave, hundreds of blood-red eyes opened above his head, and then a piercing sound echoed in the cave.

  These sounds converged into a shockwave that slammed into Wang Ke, and in an instant, Wang Ke felt the spiritual energy shields outside his body fluctuate wildly, with some on the verge of shattering.

  Greatly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect these blood bats to launch a sonic attack. He immediately urged his spiritual power and stabilized the light shield outside his body. Suddenly, all the blood bats on top of him flapped their wings and charged towards Wang Ke.

  Wang Ke's figure flashed, and he instantly dodged to the side. His right hand swung out with a flying sword, releasing a sword energy that shot towards a blood bat. However, this blood bat was unusually agile, and as it saw the sword energy approaching, it suddenly spun its body in mid-air, dodging the attack. Then, its small front claws swiped at Wang Ke, unleashing two pale red sharp blades with a breaking air sound that flew towards him.

  "Huh!" The Blood Bat's movement was beyond Wang Ke's expectations. Looking at the incoming Blood Thorn, Wang Ke intentionally tried to test the power of the Blood Thorn and didn't dodge or evade, letting the two Blood Thorns hit the spiritual energy shield outside his body.

  In an instant, the spiritual power shield began to fluctuate violently as if it had been slashed by a sharp sword. At the same time, Wang Ke felt that the place where the spiritual power shield was hit by the Blood Thorn was clearly absorbed.

  Upon seeing this, Wang Ke immediately activated his Glorious Shield of Light, shattering the two blood halos. He then swiftly moved his feet, employing the Flying Cloud Step to dodge several more blood halos shooting from the side. Next, ten sword lights burst out from his body, emitting a humming noise before coalescing in mid-air into a cyan dragon-shaped sword. Under the urging of his sword technique, it suddenly charged towards one of the Blood Bats.

  The blood-eyed creature flashed a lively light in its eyes, seeing the sword dragon rush over, and quickly dodged to the side. However, the sword dragon suddenly doubled its speed, instantly arriving beside the blood bat, biting it down with one bite.

  The sharp cry of "squeak" only sounded twice, and a burst of blood mist exploded in the air. The sword dragon turned around and charged towards another blood bat again.

  At the same time, Wang Ke's left hand flashed with a ray of light, and a mysterious turtle shield appeared to block more than a dozen blood halos flying from the side. Then, with a movement of his foot, he arrived near one of the blood bats. His right hand flew out with a sword, flashing with a cold glow, and suddenly stabbed into the body of the blood bat. The blood bat let out a cry as it was pierced by the flying sword, struggled for a few moments, and then stopped moving.

  In the cave, hundreds of giant blood bats surrounded Wang Ke in the center. Wang Ke urged the flying sword to transform into a sword dragon, sometimes transforming into a sword net. The flying sword in his hand was also incredibly powerful, and in just a short while, more than a dozen blood bats had died at his hands. However, for some reason, fighting these blood bats seemed to consume an abnormal amount of spiritual energy.

  Just as Wang Ke was fighting these blood bats, a white sword light stopped above the Blood Tooth Mountain's rift valley outside. Its gaze swept downwards at the crack before drifting down.

  "Huh, has someone been here before?" Standing at the entrance of the Blood Bat Cave, Qin Ke'er was surrounded by a layer of spiritual energy aura, her slender eyebrows measuring the cave, seeing the countless ferocious blood bats on the ground, and feeling the residual spiritual energy fluctuations in the air, Qin Ke'er said softly.

  Looking at the deep and mysterious Blood Bat Cave, Qin Ke'er flashed her body and went inside. However, the spiritual power fluctuations on her body suddenly became faint in an instant, and if one didn't observe carefully, they wouldn't be able to feel the spiritual power fluctuations on her body.

  The Blood Bat Cave was very deep, but most of the blood bats in front had been cleared by Wang Ke. Occasionally, some blood bats saw Qin Ke'er enter and were torn apart by sword light before they could even get close to her. Not long after, a surge of spiritual energy fluctuations suddenly came from the front, and the sound of sword light flashing was faintly heard.

  "Unexpectedly, there's a Master" Qin Ke'er expanded her divine sense and felt that not far ahead, there was suddenly a strong spiritual power fluctuation, and also dozens of obscure auras.

  She felt the monk's spiritual power was vast and rich, with a strong sense of justice, clearly not an evil cultivator. At the same time, she vaguely sensed that this spiritual power fluctuation seemed familiar, while dozens of other auras were filled with bloody and violent flavors, which didn't seem to be human auras.

  Qin Ke'er's expression changed, her lotus steps moved lightly, and she slowly moved forward. After a moment, a spacious cave appeared in front of Qin Ke'er. At this time, inside the cave, a black figure was wielding sword light to fight against a group of huge blood bats. Although the cave was dimly lit, Qin Ke'er still saw the black figure clearly.

  "It's him!" When Qin Ke'er saw the face of the black-robed monk clearly, she was slightly startled in her heart, completely not expecting to meet Wang Ke here, and a strange feeling surged up from the bottom of her heart.
