They climbed down the wall and continued to explore along the volcanic path. The light of the torch illuminated two forks in front of them.
"Which way?" Chang Zhengxiong asked.
Ci Mei looked at both sides of the tunnel. She looked at the one on the left and thought for a while. Then she said, "Judging by the ventilation, the left should be the main path below. The ventilation on the right is very slow, so it should be a dead end. However, we can't rule out the possibility of a treasure chest. Let's go right first."
Ye Cang raised her white eyebrows. Treasure chest!? She rubbed her hands and walked straight to the right. "Let's go. The right first …"
Ci Mei quickly stood in front of her. "Shaking Bear, you and I will walk in front."
Chang Zhengxiong said helplessly, "Um, Sister Rose, actually, you should call me …"
"Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up." Ci Mei interrupted. Chang Zhengxiong sighed and took the lead. The others followed closely behind.
"Pu pu" The sound of wings flapping could be heard from the torches.
"A swarm of bats!" Ye Cang instantly nocked her longbow. In the darkness, she counted the number of bats she could see. "A lot! At least 15! "
"Guard the entrance! Green Lu, cast Magic Missile! " Ci Mei took a step to the left and stabilized her shield. She activated Flame Strike on her slightly red longsword. Flames flowed from the tip of the sword to her original gauntlet. Ice Blood was on her left, holding her short sword in a reverse grip. Chang Zhengxiong was on her right, holding his machete horizontally in front of him, ready to counterattack at any moment. Under Ye Cang's signal, Lin Le stood behind Chang Zhengxiong, holding his heavy axe tightly, ready to attack.
Green Lu chanted an incantation. Her feathered staff began to glow, acting as a medium for magic.
"Whoosh! Swish! "
Ye Cang, who possessed the Hemlock Longbow's long range, took the initiative to launch an attack. She entered a concentrated state of rapid fire, and there was no need for her to aim too precisely. The arrows left the bowstring and struck the target's wings one after another, knocking them down. The Hemlock Longbow's penetration and bullet speed were much better than before. When shooting at these large bats, the arrows instantly pierced deep into their bodies, causing quite a bit of damage.
Ci Mei looked at Ye Cang's 1 second gap in shooting speed and accuracy that wasn't inferior to Xin Ya's (Thorns and Roses' Chief Archer, not in Really New Village). This guy should be the same as her in real life, extremely proficient in archery.
The light of the Magic Missiles flashed. Due to the Magic Effect + 2 provided by the Magic Staff, the original 3 Magic Missiles became 4. Furthermore, the Magic Missiles were also equipped with the Magic Staff's additional skill, Wind Blade. They flew straight towards the swarm of bats. Pa! Bam! Several bats were crushed by the impact of the magic and fell to the ground, sliding towards the group.
"They're coming!" Ci Mei stepped forward and her longsword glowed with flames as she welcomed the first bat that pounced towards her. The flames created a stream of light as she hacked it to the ground. She smoothly swung her shield to block another bat. Feeling the impact, she steadied her body and pressed down on the other bat. At the same time, Ice Blood's backhanded dagger quietly stabbed downwards. On the other side, Chang Zhengxiong appeared even more violent. He used his machete, shield, and body to block several bats. His high stamina gave him an extremely high resistance to [Charge] and other statuses, making him seem like an immovable mountain. On the side, Lin Le held his heavy axe horizontally and blocked Chang Zhengxiong's blind spot. Whenever a bat flew towards him, he would cut it down. When he saw two or three bats pouncing on Chang Zhengxiong, he hurriedly used his axe to push them away.
"Ice Blood, help me block them. I don't have much health left! Shaking Bear! Use your shield to heal me! " Ci Mei waved her shield and knocked back a Night Bat. She quickly took a step back, and Ice Blood tacitly covered her position. She stabbed her dagger into the Night Bat's neck, and kicked it away. Seeing that the Night Bat had taken advantage of the gap in her attack to attack, she abruptly shifted her right leg and shifted her body to the side. Ci Mei, who was behind her, raised her shield and slashed it down. She immediately crouched down, and Green Lu's second Magic Missile whizzed past the top of Ci Mei's crouching position. It brushed past Ice Blood's chest and headed straight for the Night Bat. The coordination between the three of them was extremely good.
On the other hand, after Chang Zhengxiong cast Light Heal on Ci Mei, he began to mindlessly block the Night Bats. He flung away one of them, and Lin Le followed up with a stab. His violence was simple and effective. Ye Cang's arrows continuously restricted the Night Bats that were trying to get up from the ground not far away. Just as they were about to pounce on the Night Bats, they were instantly killed. The battle entered the end stage. Chang Zhengxiong and Lin Le alternated positions to share the damage. Ye Cang also took up the position at the end of the battle. The Night Bats that were charging at them from behind had already closed in, so it was not suitable for them to continue shooting.
As the battle gradually came to an end, Ci Mei counted 17 Night Bats. This was the most wave they had experienced so far. Although they were in a bit of a difficult situation, they were still relatively easy to deal with. Wait, why did the system only send her 16 messages? Not good!
Lin Le, who had low health, sat down at the back. He put down his axe, planning to adjust his state of mind and wait for the meal to start. At this moment, a Night Bat suddenly pounced out from the sea of corpses and pounced at him. Lin Le's ahoge stood up and he cried out: "Aiya!" He hurriedly reached out to grab his axe, only to find that it was already in front of him. Eh, she was about to return to the city.
Just as everyone was about to turn around, in the blink of an eye, a silver light flashed. Before anyone could turn around, Ye Cang's longsword had already pierced through the Night Bat and knocked it up.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, they didn't lose any members.
"Little White, that was close. Luckily, you were here …" Lin Le looked at Ye Cang and said gratefully.
Ye Cang threw down the Night Bat and affectionately patted Lin Le's head, but didn't say anything.
"Congratulations, you've created a new skill. Please name it."
"Straight Thrust" Ye Cang didn't give it a fancy name.
Straight Thrust (Self-created – PaleSnow): Unleash an extremely fast thrust towards the target, dealing 133% damage. This skill increases with the attribute. Its speed limit, damage, and penetration will all be affected. Cooldown: 15 seconds. Required Energy: 10.
"What a strange strike. It's definitely a new skill." Ice Blood frowned. She also had a new skill, but it wasn't as shocking as this strike. Fast. It was just pure speed.
Because when everyone turned their heads, Ye Cang had already killed the bat. Only FrozenBlood had seen the sword in its entirety. Everyone else had only seen the end result. However, what FrozenBlood had seen was the instant he pulled out his sword, the sword flew out and pierced through the bat.
Ice Blood thought to herself. This guy is definitely not simple. She knew that she was still in the early stages. Without any evasion skills, she definitely wouldn't be able to dodge that strike.
"FrozenBlood, why are you in a daze?" ThornyRose saw FrozenBlood staring at Ye Cang and softly asked.
"Nothing …" Ice Blood shook her head and didn't say anything. She began to loot the corpses.
Ye Cang reached out and looted the first corpse. "Nothing." He dismembered it. The second corpse didn't even drop anything. He couldn't help but frown. "This thing's drop rate is so low."
As for the others, they all more or less got a white equipment to replace the one they were wearing.
Ci Mei couldn't help but sigh. It didn't matter if he looted two or three small monster corpses. She didn't scold Ye Cang about how this thing's drop rate was so low. Even though it was true that the drop rate wasn't high.
"Little White! Little White! I looted a ring from the monster you just stabbed! Here! "Lin Le took out a wooden ring with a bat's fang inlaid on it and excitedly handed it over.
Ci Mei and the other girls immediately perked up. A ring? They quickly looked at the attributes.
