"Understood!"
With Du Feng's reminder, Sun Xing also understood. If he still foolishly used his sword to attack, he would be exhausted to death by this group of grey bats. They were large in number and agile, with two rows of sharp teeth in their triangular mouths. As long as he was bitten, he would be poisoned. If he was surrounded by a group of grey bats, the flesh on his body would soon be torn apart.
Therefore, whether it was Sun Wen or Sun Xing, they both propped up their True Essence shields. Although this consumed True Essence faster, at least they would not be ambushed.
Sun Xing had just propped up his True Essence shield, when a grey bat slipped through the whip shadow and hit his shield. If he did not block it, he would probably lose a piece of flesh. Of course, with Du Feng here, he might not be injured.
"You two hold on first!"
The battle was intense, but Du Feng actually drilled into the fog and disappeared. If he disappeared for an hour, Sun Xing would be the first to panic.
"Big Sister, what should we do? He wouldn't have run away, right?"
He secretly used his Spiritual Sense to communicate with Sun Wen, afraid that Du Feng would take advantage of the chaos to escape. If Du Feng really ran away, then the two of them would probably die in this poisonous fog today.
"Don't talk nonsense, focus."
Sun Wen reprimanded Sun Xing, telling him to focus on the battle. In that brief moment of distraction, a few grey bats managed to slip through and hit the barrier. It was a thrilling sight to behold. The more attacks the shield received, the faster the martial artist's True Essence would be consumed. If this continued, the two of them would be finished.
The situation was worse than they imagined. They thought that Sun Wen and Sun Xing could hold on for a little longer. If it was in an ordinary place, the two of them could indeed hold on for a longer time. But in the poisonous fog area, their vision and Spiritual Sense were interfered, and their attacks were not accurate enough. Moreover, Sun Xing did not know how to use a whip as a weapon.
"Alright, follow me!"
The two of them became more and more anxious. Just when they did not know what to do, Du Feng suddenly appeared beside them. Without saying a word, he dragged them and ran. His speed was very fast. After running to a place, he turned around and threw something out. It was so dark that it could not be seen clearly.
Huh? Sun Xing suddenly realized that the grey bats that had been chasing them had disappeared. Or rather, they had been blocked by something.
Actually, when Du Feng left just now, it was to scout ahead and see how far the grey bats covered. After he had scouted the path, he laid a large pile of spider webs in front of him. Only a gap was left for him to pass through while he was running. After he passed, he quickly blocked it.
Therefore, when the grey bats flew over, they were all blocked by the spider webs. Some of them were directly stuck to the web, unable to struggle for a long time. Du Feng was very meticulous in his work. There was more than one layer of spider webs.
"Shh!"
Du Feng took Sun Wen and Sun Xing and ran for a distance before hiding behind a protruding boulder. He reminded them to restrain their auras and not move at all. This was because the grey bat only attacked objects that could move or had elemental energy waves. If they didn't move and restrain their auras, they would be treated like rocks. Of course, the prerequisite was that he couldn't be targeted right from the start. If he had already been targeted, it would be useless to restrain his aura.
As more and more grey bats gathered, under the repeated attacks, the spider webs finally couldn't withstand the pressure and broke apart. A large number of grey bats rushed over, circled around the boulder, and flew into the distance. Du Feng and the other two retracted their auras and remained motionless. Even their body temperature dropped, and they felt as though they had become one with the boulder.
This move was indeed effective. Tens of thousands of grey bats flew past them, but not a single one noticed them. After a series of chattering noises, they finally flew far away.
"Brother Du, why didn't you get rid of them?"
The three of them were safe, but Sun Xing couldn't understand. Since Du Feng had the time to prepare the spider webs and thought of a way to avoid them … Why didn't he use his ultimate move to get rid of these grey bats? If he used the Prairie Fire Sparks that killed Li, he would probably be able to burn a large number of grey bats to death.
"Getting rid of them will only make things easier for others."
Du Feng smiled and answered Sun Xing's doubts. Actually, Sun Wen had some doubts as well, but she trusted Du Feng's decision and didn't ask.
That's right! Sun Xing slapped his head and suddenly understood. If this large number of grey bats died, it wouldn't just be a problem for the people ahead, but also for the martial artists behind. It was equivalent to creating an opportunity for others to snatch the treasures of the Water Droplet Pavilion.
It had to be said that Du Feng was very happy with this move. He lured the grey bats to the front, and it really created a lot of trouble for others. Actually, there were a few teams that headed straight for the poison mist region the moment they entered the Feather Flying Mystic Realm because they wanted to search for treasures in the Water Droplet Pavilion.
"Be careful!"
Yang Weiye was hurrying along with his two sisters when he suddenly heard chattering noises from afar. Knowing that things were bad, he grabbed the two of them and ran. But no matter how fast he ran, he wouldn't be as fast as the grey bats flying. Therefore, a huge battle was unavoidable.
This Yang Weiye was truly ferocious. His left hand was using a flaming palm technique, and his right hand was using a flaming blade. Every move was accompanied by raging flames, and every attack would kill a few grey bats. It could be said that his efficiency was rather high. In comparison, his two sisters were too useless. They were simply two flower vases placed there to look good.
Unfortunately, no matter how ferocious he was, a person's strength was limited. In this special environment of the poison mist region, a martial artist's Quintessential Essence could not be replenished. Furthermore, they couldn't breathe freely. As time dragged on, they couldn't hold on much longer. Under the situation where the Quintessential Essence was insufficient, the flaming palm lost its original flame, and the flaming blade also lost its might.
The moment Yang Weiye's attacks slackened, the grey bats immediately surrounded them. With a series of crackling sounds, the three people's Quintessential Essence Shields were torn apart. Following that, a series of miserable cries could be heard. The three people quickly turned into skeletons. The flesh on their bodies was eaten clean. Even the thin layer of skin and flesh on their fingers and toes were bitten clean, leaving only white bones.
The white bones could not be preserved for long either. Although the grey bats did not eat bones, the grayish-green poison mist was very corrosive. Once a martial artist died, the body would lose its resistance. Those white bones quickly turned gray and shattered like weathered rocks.
By the time Du Feng and the others walked to the location where Yang Weiye and the other two were killed, there were no remains on the ground. Even those shattered bones had turned into powder and drifted away with the poison mist.
"Quickly hide!"
