Chapter 309 Unwilling to Leave
After entering, Qingying and the others immediately rushed to Xiao Han's side and joined the battle to eliminate the bats.
Long Chuqing warned, "You all need to be careful. Bats usually carry a lot of germs, so be careful not to get scratched or bitten."
"Also, those big ones aren't ordinary bats; they've become demons. Although they're just small demons, we can't let our guard down."
Demon, bat demon?
The news came out of nowhere.
When everyone heard that there was also a bat demon, they immediately became alert, not expecting to encounter a monster again in such a short time.
No wonder these ordinary bats went berserk and attacked people; it must have been those bat demons causing the trouble.
Although I was a little scared when I saw so many bats, they were just ordinary small animals. If they dared to attack people, I would just cut them down with a knife.
But if monsters appear, it's a different story. Although Miss Long said they are just minor demons, they don't know their strength or what moves they have, so they still need to be vigilant.
Everyone here has seen monsters before, so this time they were noticeably less nervous and afraid than before.
They had to deal with the crazed little bats in front of them, while also keeping a close eye on the actions of the bat demons.
Those bat demons didn't fight themselves, and even kept their distance, but instead used these little bats as cannon fodder. I wonder what they were up to.
Qingzhou thought to himself: Bat demon? I was wondering where such a big bat came from. It turns out it has cultivated into a spirit. I just caught a glimpse of one eye glowing red, and I thought I was seeing things! I almost mistook it for a ghost. But... he's seen two big scenes before. It's just a little bat demon. There's nothing to be afraid of. The Dragon Girl just said it's a minor demon. I wonder if the sword in his hand can hurt them?
Qingyang thought to himself: Good heavens, first the wolf demon and the cat demon, then the dream demon, and now a few bat demons have arrived. In just two or three months, he has experienced more excitement than in the previous ten years. It has certainly broadened his horizons. I wonder if he will encounter others in the future... If Miss Long stays in the palace, she might really have a chance to see them.
With Xiao Han and the others joining them, Long Chuqing turned around and went back into the house to put on her thick clothes.
After Qing Tong and the others entered, Xiao Han retreated to the back. Seeing Long Chuqing walk into the house, he went to the door to stand guard, pondering what was happening before his eyes.
Are these bat demons after Chu Qing?
Could it be that Chu Qing provoked them while he was away from the palace?
Chu Qing had said that she wouldn't be leaving the manor during this period, which is reasonable, and she wouldn't be dealing with harmless little demons either.
It couldn't have been something she provoked after arriving at the manor; she wasn't feeling well today and had no time to deal with these things. So it could only be that these little demons deliberately came to cause trouble.
But...why?
Bats swarmed in, numerous and small in size, with sharp claws and teeth.
To avoid being scratched or bitten by them in the chaos, the group of Qing Tong focused their inner energy into their swords. When they swung their swords, sword energy shot out, killing a whole group at once and preventing the bats from getting close.
Before long, more than half of the bat swarm had been killed. The remaining bats hesitated noticeably when attacking, clearly out of fear.
After realizing they were about to retreat, they all flew upwards, away from the area of the hot spring pool.
Taking advantage of the retreat of the bat swarm, Qing Tong quickly instructed: "Bats are afraid of fire. Look around for anything that can be burned or wood. Lighting it up will effectively drive them away."
They might launch another attack soon.
Although they could manage the swarms of bats, their numbers were simply too great; it would be best if they could be driven away with fire.
Bronze pondered: These bats' behavior is really strange. Why are they attacking Miss Dragon? Could it be that Miss Dragon has offended them before and they've come to seek revenge tonight? But that doesn't make sense! Miss Dragon is so powerful, and she said they were just a few minor demons. If Miss Dragon were to attack them, she would definitely teach them a lesson. But then they would be even less likely to cause trouble. Is there some hidden reason behind this?
Qingzhou and Qingyang went to look for wood nearby, while the others were on guard to prevent a sudden attack by a swarm of bats.
The courtyard was enclosed by bamboo and wood, which was very convenient as it was readily available. Then, the curtains on the windows were torn into strips and wrapped around the wooden sticks.
Oil lamps were lit both inside the house and outside the yard. The oil from the lamps was poured onto a cloth, and then lit.
It only took a short while to do all this, and the flock of bats that had flown away could still be seen hovering in mid-air without leaving.
Looking at the several large bat demons in mid-air, Qingshan sighed softly, "My goodness, I knew Miss Long was extraordinary! Even just soaking in a hot spring can attract monsters. Following her really does lead to many novel experiences. Miss Long just said they were all minor demons. I wonder if he can handle them. If he can kill one, that will be enough for him to brag about when he gets back, hehe."
"But..." He stroked his chin thoughtfully, "The bat demons are so cunning, and they're so far away, there's no way to get close to them. How can we lure them down?"
Upon hearing this, Qingying frowned and said, "You're getting bolder and bolder, now you want to hunt down a bat demon."
However, what he said is not wrong. If we can kill a bat demon, even a minor one, we can brag about it when we go back.
Qingying said, "I've seen Miss Long go inside for quite a while and she hasn't come out yet. There are still a few bat demons circling outside, but she seems so at ease. Does that mean she thinks we can handle those little monsters too?"
Qingsong replied earnestly, "Didn't Miss Long say that they are just some minor demons? They shouldn't be very powerful! I also think we can handle them, so why don't they come down? If we can kill one or two, we won't be so afraid of the others in the future."
Qingzhou's feelings were complicated: "You guys are too optimistic! They are monsters, even if they are just minor monsters, they still have demonic power and know some magic. We are just ordinary people. The enemy's strength is unknown. Since they have chosen to remain still, it is best not to provoke them. It is safest to choose to wait and see."
Qingsong nodded in agreement, "You're right, our main priority is to ensure the prince's safety."
The bat demons had been observing the movements in the courtyard, intending to strike at any opportune moment, but the sword was simply too powerful, and they couldn't find a chance to attack Long Chuqing.
Seeing that the woman's body was getting weaker and weaker, it was the perfect time to strike, but suddenly so many helpers appeared, ruining their plan.
But she was unwilling to leave just like that.
