Chapter 310 Painful Screams
Tonight, all the bats in the cave were summoned, and they have suffered heavy casualties, but their goal has not yet been achieved!
They noticed that Long Chuqing had entered the house alone, and the sword was no longer in her possession. Wasn't this the perfect opportunity?
The bat demon gave another order to the swarm of bats, commanding them to rush to the front and draw the attention of the people below, while they took the opportunity to ambush Long Chuqing.
Cold weather is already bad for bats, and if they stay outdoors for too long, the energy stored in their bodies will be depleted.
If they don't return to the cave in time, they might freeze to death even if they aren't killed by humans.
They should have been hibernating, but they were forcibly awakened. Their bodies were already weak from not eating for a long time, and they were exhausted after the previous rounds of attacks. Going there now would only be suicide.
Although they were afraid of the people below, they dared not disobey the bat demons' orders and flew back into the courtyard after receiving their command.
"They're here, get ready to light the fire."
At Qing Tong's command, the group lit their torches, gripping their swords in one hand and holding the torches in the other to fend off the swarms of bats attacking from all sides.
The swarm of bats that had been swooping down were startled by the sudden burst of light and scattered in all directions, instinctively flying away from the area of fire and into the darkness.
Bats are nocturnal animals with poor eyesight, preferring darkness and avoiding light.
Firelight and bright light will irritate their eyes, and they will perceive these lights as potential dangers. This discomfort will frighten them, causing them to choose to avoid them.
The firelight can not only disrupt their flight, but also render them inactive.
Qingyang exclaimed with delight, "I didn't expect this method to actually work! Judging from how they're fleeing in such a panic, they probably won't dare to come back!"
Qingsong remained calm and composed: "It's so cold. It's already amazing that they've managed to stay outside for so long. If they stay any longer, they'll just freeze to death. Flying back into the cave during the chaos might save their lives."
Looking at the bat carcasses scattered all over the ground, Qingying frowned: "It's best that they left. With so many bats dead, it will take a lot of effort to clean up all these broken limbs and pollute this beautiful hot spring pool."
Qingzhou looked up at the night sky and suddenly his expression turned serious: "Where are those bat demons? They were just circling there a moment ago, how come they've disappeared?"
After hearing Qingzhou's words, everyone noticed that the large bats were gone.
They had been keeping an eye on the bat demons, but their attention was diverted after the bats scattered in panic.
Looking again, there was no trace of the bat demons in mid-air. Not only had all the small ones flown away, but even the six large ones had all disappeared.
Only a few bats that hadn't yet fled remained, flapping their wings in the night sky.
Qingshan, holding a torch, said, "Could it be that the bat demons are also afraid of the firelight? So they fled with the swarm of bats?"
Bronze warned, "They haven't made a move from beginning to end. We don't know if they've left or are hiding somewhere else. We need to be careful and vigilant, and we must not be careless."
The group remained on guard, searching for them in the darkness.
Xiao Han kept an eye on the movements of the bat demons. He saw them take advantage of the chaos to fly away. At first, he thought the bat demons had fled after realizing that the bat swarm's attack had failed and they had no chance of winning.
After a moment of thought, he came to his senses. Their initial target was Chu Qing, so why did they circle around to the back...?
Thinking of this, Xiao Han immediately rushed into the house, and as soon as he turned around, he heard the sound of porcelain shattering inside.
Long Chuqing had already put on her thick clothes and cloak, and had also put Xiao Han's cloak on top of her.
Even so, she was still shivering from the cold. As she left the hot spring, the surrounding cold air gathered around her, and the coldness in her body grew stronger and stronger.
She moved with difficulty to the table, intending to pour herself a cup of hot tea, but found that the pot of tea had already gone cold, so she had to give up.
"Qingqing, be careful! The bat demon is about to rush in, it's right above the roof."
"Bang bang bang..."
As soon as Fei Feng finished speaking, several bat demons broke through the roof and windows and rushed in one after another. Upon seeing Long Chuqing, they immediately flapped their wings and pounced on her.
Long Chuqing frowned: This little bat demon is really arrogant.
She quickly grabbed the teapot beside her and threw it at the bat demon that had entered through the window.
"boom."
The bat demon reacted swiftly, shattering the teapot with a flap of its long wings.
Long Chuqing immediately stood up and swung a chair at the bat demon that was attacking from behind.
After its body evolved, the bat demon's wings were noticeably harder than before. Instead of dodging, it quickly folded its wings in front of its body to block the chair that was about to hit it.
After blocking the chair that was thrown at it, the bat demon quickly spread its wings and flew towards Long Chuqing.
At the same time, above Long Chuqing's head, another bat demon's sharp claws were also fiercely grabbing at her.
In an instant, three bat demons simultaneously opened their ferocious mouths, waving their sharp claws and attacking Long Chuqing from above, by the window, and directly in front of him. Three more that entered from behind followed closely behind.
Bats have a pair of hook-like claws that are not only long but also extremely sharp. If you are accidentally scratched by them, you will inevitably be left with deep bloody marks.
In addition, they have sharp teeth. When several bat demons swarm each other, using both claws and teeth, they can tear a person to shreds in a short time.
Normally, this situation wouldn't be a problem for Long Chuqing, but right now her body was stiff from the cold, and her movements had become much slower.
The current situation of being besieged is still somewhat tricky, but fortunately, she has Fei Feng protecting her, so she won't be easily injured by the bat demon.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, they had no choice but to confront it.
At the critical moment, the bat demon closest to her above stopped attacking abruptly, as Xiao Han's phoenix feather whip had tightly wrapped around and held it back.
"Hiss..."
The Phoenix Feather Whip, with its blades fully extended, pierced deeply into the bat demon's body, causing it to continuously emit painful screams.
The bat demon was questioning its existence. Its body had clearly been strengthened, so how could it be so easily pierced?
Xiao Han used his strength to throw the bat demon backward, and then smashed it straight down towards the bat demon behind him.
"Boom..."
The other bat demon was hit hard.
With a heavy blow, the bat demon's body smashed through the wooden wall and flew outside.
At the same time, the one that was entangled was also thrown out, and as the whip separated, the feather blade mercilessly slashed through its body, and blood splattered everywhere.
In an instant, Xiao Han dealt with two bat demons at the same time, while Long Chuqing took the opportunity to deal with the one that came in through the window.
She first dodged the attacking claws by sidestepping. After the bat demon missed its target, it couldn't stop and flew forward. Its wings were too large, so it couldn't make quick turns or change direction in the limited space, and it couldn't fly as freely as it could in the open outdoors.
Several bat demons rushed in, their wings spread wide, taking up a large space, and the room immediately descended into chaos.
