Chapter 42 Killing Bats
Red lights flew closer. Under the illumination of the night pearl, Li Muran finally saw the true faces of these red lights.
It turned out that what flew over was a group of black bats, one by one, several feet in size, more than ten times larger than ordinary bats. The red light was the bloody eyes of these bats.
"The bloodthirsty bats, first-level monsters, only move at night, often live in groups in dark places, and eat blood from people and animals." Relevant records in the classics immediately emerged in Li Muran's mind.
Although the bloodthirsty bat is only a first-level monster and has low strength, if it only encounters a single bloodthirsty bat, Li Muran will not take it seriously at all; but there are at least twenty or thirty bloodthirsty bats here, and if they are besieged by them, it would be very bad.
The dozens of talismans sacrificed by Li Muran turned into balls of fire about the size of a foot, bursting out in the air. With the huge roar, fires splashed everywhere, completely illuminating the ravine.
Some bloodthirsty bats that could not dodge were immediately swept into it by the explosion of flames and were wiped out in an instant, but most bloodthirsty bats could swing their flesh wings and avoid them almost, and each opened their mouths and spit out an invisible sound wave, blocking the splattering flames.
Not only that, these bloodthirsty bats also spurted out sound waves at Li Muran. After this invisible spell hit Li Muran's Vajra cover on the surface of his body, the vibrator cover shook slightly. Although it could not break the Vajra cover, it caused a lot of loss of the vital energy of the Vajra talisman.
This is "sonic wave technique", which is said to be the only spell that the bloodthirsty bat can do. For Li Muran, a sound wave technique is insignificant and not threatening; but if these twenty bloodthirsty bats kept spraying out sound waves to siege like this, he would not be able to withstand it!
"We must fight quickly!" Li Muran thought and used the flame explosion technique at the same time with both hands. In a flash, four or five fireballs shot out in a flash, hitting one of the bloodthirsty bats.
If other disciples saw this scene, they would definitely be surprised. Among the disciples who have only practiced for more than a year, those who can skillfully cast the flame explosion technique and successfully cast the spell in the blink of an eye are already commendable; those who can perform two to three flame explosion techniques in a row are considered geniuses, and they are proud of this; and those who can actually shoot the left and right bows, perform the flame explosion technique with both hands at the same time, and continuously perform it continuously, can be said to be unique!
However, Li Muran can only do such smooth casting in a night environment, and he cannot do it in a daytime environment.
The bloodthirsty bat quickly spit out sound waves in front of him, but several flame explosion techniques came to attack continuously, immediately defeating its invisible sound waves. The bloodthirsty bat also turned into flying smoke in the flames.
Li Muran casts the spell again quickly as he did. After several flame explosion techniques were used, another bloodthirsty bat was killed instantly.
However, while he killed two bloodthirsty bats, the other bloodthirsty bats swallowed another sound wave technique and attacked Li Muran.
The Vajra cover on Li Muran's body was vibrating violently under the attack of invisible sound waves, and the light of the golden light gradually dimmed and was in danger.
"It's too slow to kill monsters like this!" Li Muran thought, stretched his arm, and pointed at the most dense part of the bloodthirsty bat, which inspired the Dark Moon Crossbow hidden between his sleeves.
Suddenly, the three spirit stones embedded on the Dark Moon Crossbow turned into ashes at the same time. Three exquisite heaven and earth energy were absorbed by the Dark Moon Crossbow and gathered on the three short arrows. Immediately, the three short arrows shot out in a row, fast and fast, mixed with a sharp howling sound.
Although the bloodthirsty bat flies very quickly, it is obviously much worse than this short arrow; the bloodthirsty bat cannot dodge and can only spit out sound waves to protect itself.
"Puff puff puff!" A few light sounds, three short arrows easily penetrated the invisible sound waves and penetrated the body of the bloodthirsty bat.
Each short arrow killed at least one bloodthirsty bat, and one of the short arrows pierced through two bloodthirsty bats one after another.
"This Dark Moon Crossbow is indeed unfavorable! It's a pity that it cannot be used continuously!" Li Muran said in his heart that the Dark Moon Crossbow only has three arrows. If the short arrow is not retracted after it is shot, the next round of attack cannot be continued.
Li Muran touched his arms, and he took out nine black flying knives as thin as cicada wings, and then swung their hands around. With the sound of brushing, several bloodthirsty bats were hit by the flying knives, and they were immediately killed or injured.
These flying knives are extremely sharp and bloodthirsty bats are just first-level monsters and cannot resist them head-on.
However, Li Muran is not a monk from the Divine Journey period. After the flying sword and magic weapon is sacrificed, he cannot take the initiative to take it back.
Although Li Muran killed half of the bloodthirsty bats in a moment, there were still more than a dozen bloodthirsty bats that refused to leave and continued to siege Li Muran.
"We must use higher-level talismans!"
Li Muran took out a stack of more than ten palm-sized talismans from his arms, and a hint of pity appeared on his face, but the expression flashed away. Then, he sacrificed all the talismans without hesitation, and each talisman was hit on a bloodthirsty bat.
After being stimulated by Li Muran, the seals of these talismans immediately turned into a thin and long green light. The green light rushed towards the bloodthirsty bat and instantly turned into countless vines, wrapping the bloodthirsty bat tightly.
This is a wood-attribute spell talisman entangled talisman. This entangled talisman is a spell that Li Muran only learned to use after he advanced to the middle stage of Qi and meridians. It can only be used at night when the magic power is particularly smooth. With the help of the mysterious bronze mirror light, Li Muran used entangled talismans and third-level talisman paper to make some entangled talismans. The cost of the talisman paper alone requires ten spirit stones, and in the market, a entangled talisman sells fifty spirit stones!
It is very difficult to create a bondage verse that requires drawing of a winding talisman. It is one of the most difficult verses in the early five elements. Even disciples in the late stage of Qi and Meridians find it difficult to master the drawing of this kind of verse. Therefore, the success rate of talisman making is not high, and the price of talismans will naturally increase accordingly. Li Muran has the help of a mysterious bronze mirror and rarely fails. Almost as long as he can successfully cast the spell, he can make corresponding spell talismans.
Under the constraints of the entangled talisman, the bloodthirsty bats were tightly wrapped by green vines, and their flesh wings could not be opened, and they all fell to the ground.
Some bloodthirsty bats desperately sprayed out invisible sound waves, trying to shake off the constraints of the green vine, but the green vine has strong toughness, and the invisible sound wave alone has almost no effect on it.
This can be regarded as one thing defeats one thing. If the iron-winged eagle faces this entangled talisman, it is not afraid at all. It only needs to fan out an extremely sharp wind blade to cut off all the green vine sharp swords transformed from the entangled talisman like a mess. Although these bloodthirsty bats are quite numerous, they have no means to cut the green vine in an instant, and are very restrained by the entangled talisman.
Li Muran took the opportunity to lift a golden sword weapon and bully the bloodthirsty bats that could not move. He killed most of the bloodthirsty bats on the spot with one knife. Only two or three bloodthirsty bats took advantage of the green vine that did not completely entangle themselves, struggled to escape a few times, flew out of the ravine and flew into the darkness.
"It's finally solved!" Li Muran felt relieved. He retrieved the shot short arrows and flying knives one by one, and then used the golden knife to break the bloodthirsty bats' corpse to find out the essence in their bodies.
A total of eleven complete bloodthirsty bat essences were found. These are the essences of first-level monsters. They are not very useful for the practice of middle-stage disciples of Qi and Vein, but they are also of certain value and can be sold at a good price in the market. Moreover, there is no need to hand over to the sect such as monster materials.
Li Muran thought: "The first-level monster essence has a very limited increase in magic power. However, these bloodthirsty bats are habitually hiding from night to day. They have lived in this catacomb city without seeing the sun for so long. There should be something special. What's special about my divine light is that it can only shine in the night environment. I wonder if these bloodthirsty bat essences are useful to me?"
Li Muran temporarily puts these essences into the jade box and leaves them to try their effects in the future.
"When monsters choose nests, they usually choose the most beneficial part for their own practice. Either the heaven and earth are extremely abundant, or there are other treasures! For example, the iron-winged eagle sets the nest next to the thousand-year-old spiritual medicine Ink Lingzhi." Li Muran thought of this, so he held back the stench and searched carefully in this ravine.
Not long after, he discovered a dark gold ore vein - a kind of treasure that is common in the Catacomb City. Dark gold and stones are widely used in refining weapons, but the output is not small, so the price is not very high. Li Muran used the golden sword magic weapon to dig out more than a dozen high-quality dark gold and stones the size of fists, and he ignored other scattered small pieces or poor-quality dark gold ore. Anyway, these treasures are originally worth ordinary and have to be handed over to the sect. He spent a lot of effort to dig more, but the rewards he received were not very large.
Li Muran checked the ravine and found nothing else, so he left here and continued to explore other places.
An hour later, Li Muran, who was carefully picking a hundred-year-old dark night grass, suddenly his expression changed slightly. He put the dark night grass aside and then took out a jade talisman from his arms.
This is the notes that Master Zixia gave to him and his disciples. At this time, the notes that were transmitted were constantly flashing with light and vibrated slightly. This is exactly the reaction when the news was conveyed.
Li Muran penetrated a magic trick and unbuttoned the seal on the sound transmission note. Immediately, a familiar middle-aged man's voice came, which was Taoist Zixia.
"Master urgently summoned us, I don't know what's going on?" Li Muran felt a stern, but he still rushed to the location designated by his master as soon as possible according to the master's order.
Li Muran did not use the talisman paper crane. When he arrived at the designated location, he saw that most of the disciples such as Qingfengzi and Muli had already arrived here one step ahead of him.
"The other senior brothers may have a talisman paper crane in their hands, so they came faster. Junior Brother Mu also came so fast? Could it be that he happened to be nearby?" Li Muran thought about it strangely, but he didn't care too much.
"Senior Brother Zhao, you are here just right!" Mu Li greeted Li Muran from afar and shouted excitedly: "Today I will open my eyes. Master will cast spells and destroy demons by himself!"
