Chapter 720: We seem to have gone the wrong way

Huge Bat!

How big was it? It was about as big as a manticore when it spread its wings.

The moment the bat flew out of the valley, the assassins, archers, and hunters among the team almost simultaneously crouched down and hid in the bushes. Several knights reacted a bit slower but quickly followed suit by crouching in the bushes.

Robb pretended to hide with them and cowered in the bushes along with the others, looking up at the giant bat that passed overhead. The bat did a spin in the air and, after having eaten something, suddenly swooped back into the canyon.

Kante had little knowledge and couldn't help but ask, "What is that thing?"
 

 

A hunter whispered, "It's a giant bat, a fierce beast that sucks blood when it bites people, turning them into dried-up corpses."

Kante's face suddenly turned pale. "I don't like to drink stupid blood. Let it not come to me."

However, after making a false statement, he immediately thought of something and turned to the hunter. "Can't you just shoot it down with one arrow? Why deliberately say it's going to suck my blood?"

The hunter sighed helplessly. "Do you lack knowledge about bats? In a pitch-black valley, a bat flies out. Do you think there is only one? I might kill this one with one arrow, but next, we would expose the bat's nest. I have no doubt that a thousand giant bats would fly out to avenge it and suck us dry."

Kante was frightened. "Really?"
 

 

Everyone looked at him like an idiot, with several hunters sneering, archers shaking their heads, and even the knights sighing together, "New recruits lack common sense."

Only Robb did not mock him. Come to think of it, they suddenly discovered that Robb was not by their side again.

Last time, when they were discussing outside the enemy camp by the lake, he disappeared like this. This time, they once again couldn't find Robb. Everyone was sweating profusely, looking at each other and saying, "Is it possible that Robb has gone..."

Just as they thought about it, a miserable howl echoed in the sky. A giant bat that had just flown out of the valley plunged down, and the person who shot it was Robb. He used a wind blade technique to cut down the giant bat, then waited for it to fall to the ground, and finally dragged its body to the hunters, laughing, "Who knows how to skin it? Let's see what leather this thing can produce?"

Everyone: "..."
 

 

Kante was sweating profusely. Although he knew that Robb was "searching for various materials under Godfather's orders," he had taken it too far this time. Awkwardly, he said, "Brother Robb, what you're doing seems to be poking the bat's nest."

Robb said, "Huh? Is it possible? I've only heard of stirring up a hornet's nest, never heard of bats having similar habits."

The hunters replied, "This type of bat does!"

As soon as they finished speaking, there was a loud boom from the valley, and a black cloud of giant bats emerged. It was dark and covered the sky, and no one knew how many there were. They must have found out somehow that their companions were killed and now they were all coming back with vengeance.

Kante cried out in despair, "Oh my god, save me! Are they going to suck my blood?"

The other hunters' faces turned pale as well. One of them shouted, "Run! Find a cave to hide in!"

An archer asked, "Where are we going to find a cave? The bats fly so fast, they'll be in front of us in the blink of an eye. Can we find a cave in time?"

An assassin asked, "Can we hide from them by sneaking around?"

"It's useless," the hunter replied. "Bats don't use their eyes to locate you, they use ultrasound. You can deceive their eyes, but you can't deceive their sound waves. What's the point of sneaking around?"

The assassin was sweating profusely.

"Don't be afraid," Robb said with a smile. "Don't forget, there's a powerful wind magician here."

"What good is that when there are at least a thousand bats here?" Two Black Earth Knights shouted, "Run! Don't die here for no reason, the Duke will be sad."

They dragged Robb and tried to run away...

While everyone was speaking, the army of giant bats had already flown through the sky and was getting closer. Everyone was extremely nervous. Robb raised his hand, and with a wave, he cast a tornado spell into the air.

The tornado was quite powerful and hit the bats head-on. In an instant, the bats at the front were thrown in all directions by the tornado, and they were unable to maintain their formation. The bats behind them used their ultrasound to sense that there was a huge tornado in front of them blocking their way. They immediately scattered to both sides and then regrouped and continued to attack.

The hunters in the group thought to themselves that the tornado could stop one side, but it was still not enough. Killing dozens or hundreds of bats would not make a difference. This large group of bats coming from all directions could not be stopped by just one tornado.

However, just as they were thinking this, they saw that something was not right. The tornado that Robb had thrown out did not continue to fly forward, but suddenly turned sideways and began to spin rapidly around the group of people.

Love's magic, spinning in circles...

The tornado spun faster and faster.

The 24 people stood still in their place, and they saw thousands of giant bats spinning around them, unable to enter, only able to scream at the tornado.

Some bats accidentally get caught up in whirlwinds, emitting a sharp scream as they are carried up into the sky by the whirlwind, losing their balance and ability to fly, and falling heavily to the ground.

Robb dragged the fallen bat over and threw it in front of the hunters, saying, "Let's take a look at its skin."

The crowd: "..."

"At a time like this, you're still thinking about skinning and making equipment?" A Black Earth Knight said, "Lord Robb, how long can your whirlwind last? It's been spinning like this, it should be a guiding spell, right? In theory, when your magic power runs out, it will dissipate. By then, we will still be in trouble. Don't be so calm at a time like this."

In fact, this was a question that others wanted to ask as well. Everyone looked at Robb pitifully.

Robb took out two blue potion bottles from his pocket and said seriously, "Don't worry, it can last for a very, very, very long time, because I have prepared magic potions. These are potions made by Godfather. Drinking one bottle can restore a lot of magic power."

As soon as everyone heard the word "Godfather", they immediately felt relieved.

No wonder you're so powerful, you have Godfather backing you up. That's good, that's good, Robb. Godfather's name is a golden signboard. With something he gives us to support us, we won't panic.

The hunter pulled out a skinning knife from his pocket and said, "Okay, let me see if this thing's skin is tough or not."

The nearby Black Earth Knight sighed, "We seem to be here on a scouting mission, but it feels like we're getting off track?"
