They returned the same way they had traveled before.

I thought I could leave the cave smoothly, but within a few minutes of walking, there was a strange noise in front of me.

Mu Jingchen stopped and looked straight ahead.

Shao Ming and the others also sensed that something was wrong, and immediately raised the lamp to shine forward.

Since there was a bifurcated road ahead and their vision was limited, they could only see thick walls of the cave and two roads that looked like black holes, so they couldn't determine the source of the sound at all.

So, Shao Ming suggested: "Boss, let me go and have a look first."

"and many more."

Mu Jingchen called to stop him, and signaled them not to move forward with his eyes.

"This place is very weird, don't act rashly."

Shao Ming nodded, looked around vigilantly, and said in a low voice: "When we passed by here before, this road was very safe, and we didn't hear any strange noises. Could it be that there is something ambushing around? Didn't you notice when we passed by before?"

Mu Jingchen didn't answer, and looked forward with a heavy face.

The weird sound was getting closer and closer, approaching the fork in the road.

"Stand back!"

Aware of the danger, he led the people back in a big stride, leaving a long distance from the fork in the road.

At this moment, a cloud of "black mist" gushed out from the forked road, heading straight for them.

"Black Mist" was extremely fast, catching up to them in a few seconds.

At this time, Mu Jingchen also saw its true face.

It's a dark brown bat.

There are a large number of them, and the target is very obvious. When approaching them, they attacked them without hesitation.

"Boss, let's go!"

Shao Ming and the others stood in front and killed the bat that was about to attack Mu Jingchen.

Mu Jingchen held Huangfu Liyue in his arms, unable to deal with them, so he had to evacuate first.

"These are vampire bats, be careful!"

"Boss, leave us alone, take your wife and go first!"

The three of Shao Ming took out their daggers and killed the approaching bats.

However, due to the large number, it was very difficult to deal with them. Many bats jumped over them and attacked Mu Jingchen and Huangfu Liyue.

Before Mu Jingchen could take a few steps, he was surrounded by bats chasing him, and his neck and back of his hands were scratched.

Seeing that the situation was not right, he could only put down Liyue, put one arm around her, and took out the dagger from his body with the other hand, slashing and killing the attacking bat.

More than a minute later, his feet were already covered with dead bats, but there were still a steady stream of bats around him attacking him, and they were inexhaustible.

He also observed that these bats are different from ordinary bats. Their claws are particularly sharp, and the place where they are scratched is hot and painful. It is likely that they are carrying some kind of toxin.

If he continued to entangle with them, both he and Liyue would be injured.

Seeing more and more bats, he could only take off his coat and wrap Liyue around him, trying to escape here with her.

Who knows, these bats are in hot pursuit.

They gathered together, forming a huge black patch, almost blocking the road in front of Mu Jingchen.

He could only stop and hold Liyue in his arms, preventing them from approaching.

Seeing this situation, Shao Ming and several others hurriedly stood in front of them.

"Boss, let's open the way ahead, you find an opportunity to take your wife and leave."

Mu Jingchen glanced at them lightly.

After the fight with the bat just now, their faces and necks were painted, and the bloodstains were still purple.

"These bats live in this kind of place all year round, and they may have poison on them. Don't deal with them for too long. If you have the opportunity, escape here as soon as possible!"

After Mu Jingchen reminded them, the bat swarm frantically rushed towards them again.

Shao Ming and the others fought hard to kill them in front, opening a way for him and Huangfu Liyue.

Mu Jingchen saw the right opportunity, picked up Liyue and rushed out of the bat swarm.

But at this time, a strange thing happened.

After Mu Jingchen ran away with Huangfu Liyue, the bats stopped attacking Shao Ming and the others, and chased towards Mu Jingchen as if organized.

The three of Shao Ming stood in place with doubts on their faces.

"Brother Shao, it's so weird, these bats seem to be targeting the boss and his wife?"

Although Shao Ming found it strange, he watched the bats go away, and hurriedly said: "Boss and Madam are in danger, let's follow quickly!"

……

After running away for a while, Mu Jingchen thought he had shaken off those bats, but when he turned around, hordes of bats rushed towards him.

Looking at the densely packed bats, he could only wrap his arms around Liyue and protect her with his body.

Soon, the bats surrounded them tightly and attacked them.

Even if he swung his dagger to resist, it wouldn't do much at all.

His exposed skin was scratched by a bat, and the bloodstains were a little shocking.

However, he didn't care about the pain at all.

When he was attacked by bats, he was most worried about Liyue.

Looking down at Liyue, he found that she was still in a coma, and his brows furrowed again.

Fortunately, she was well protected, and the bat didn't hurt her at all.

He suffered more and more wounds on his arms and neck from the onslaught of bats.

He also realized that if this went on, they would all be the bat's meal.

At this moment, Shao Ming and the other two chased after him.

Seeing that Mu Jingchen was surrounded, he hurriedly helped drive away the bats.

"Boss, these bats are so strange. They seem to be coming for you and your wife. Could it be Cheng Cui's trick?"

Hearing this, Mu Jingchen recalled the scene when he met the bat.

These bats regarded him and Liyue as targets from the very beginning, and kept attacking them. As Shao Ming said, it was probably Cheng Cui's trick.

But as far as he knew, bats could not be controlled by people, at most it was Cheng Cui who released them.

While driving the bats away, Mu Jingchen said, "I've seen the introduction of this kind of bats in the book. They live by sucking blood and eating carrion. Only when they smell food can they attack so violently."

"The taste of food?"

Shao Ming couldn't understand it.

Before they were attacked by bats, there was neither blood nor carrion around them. How could the bats smell the food?

Mu Jingchen was also very puzzled by this point.

At this moment, Huangfu Liyue in his arms groaned in pain: "Uh..."

Because of the low moan, she opened her mouth slightly.

A strong smell of blood filled Mu Jingchen's nose, making him look down at her.

He suddenly found that there was a little blood between her lips and teeth, and the strong fishy smell made him hold his breath.

"Squeak..."

The bats around smelled this smell, screamed excitedly, and attacked them more quickly.

Mu Jingchen finally understood why these bats were chasing them so hard.

While struggling to kill the bat, he was more concerned about Liyue's safety.

He dragged her hand and shook her body, and kept calling: "Liyue, I'm Jingchen, can you hear me, wake up..."
