Chapter 480 (1/2)

Just as everyone relaxed, the hanging Ye Cang’s pupils shrank. From below, two yellow specks were becoming larger and larger. It appeared that they had enraged a terrifying beast. It soon appeared within range of his night vision. An enormous bat emerged, bringing with it a rush of wind.

Dark Blood Bat Chief – Najas (Intermediate Level Boss – Abyss)

Dark blood bats live in dark places. Extremely aggressive. Its two wings make very good crispy grilled wings.

Ye Cang shouted, “Careful, a bat boss!!”

Just as he said that, a noiseless soundwave blasted through the sinkhole making a high pitched explosion. Everyone was shaken, intimidated, stunned, deafened; various effects were inflicted. Besides Zhang ZhengXiong with his near immunity, the others all began to fall. Ye Cang instantly activated Swift Retreat and broke free, but he frowned upon seeing that his drum’s cooldown still needed a while! He saw the bat chief Najas attack towards Wang.

Zhang ZhengXiong stomped off the cliff wall and activated Fearless Charge. He perfectly intercepted and crashed into Najas. Najas stopped for a moment, it’s speed largely reduced. Zhang ZhengXiong was knocked away flying. With a backflip, he grabbed a vine. He then swung his axe and used its skill; a crescent chop shot out, leaving behind a spurt of blood.

The tigerkin Little Ren let loose a tiger roar, forcefully removing the status effects. It started to leap downwards after the falling members. One by one they were caught and left on protruding rocks and vines. Little Blue Feather gradually woke up from the negative effects, spread its wings, and grabbed Wu Na, bringing her to the vines at the side. As for the one furthest down, when Little Ye Tian and Emergency Ration recovered to normal, Little Ration’s bug wings emerged. One girl and one bug began to ascend.

As for Weak Sauce and the little tadpole, they were still outside the sinkhole. Although they couldn’t see anything below, they still leaned over and cheered everyone on. Weak Sauce even gave the little tadpole smacks on the head when its movements weren’t up-to-par. It showed off what cheering should be like, and began to shake its butt and wave its hands…

Most of them managed to escape danger but for some of them, it was hopeless. For example, OldWangFromNextDoor. Right now, he was at the bottom of the sinkhole, his head smashed into mush. He died in battle looking like a radish stuck in the ground.

Ye Cang saw that the ascending Najas only took out Wang, the rest of them were fine. However, the battle had only gone on for so long and this terrain made the soundwave basically undodgeable. It was as if they were in a pipe, the sounds continued to echo around. The earlier intimidation effect repeated again and again. Luckily, the strength became progressively weaker. Pulling out his ballista and summoning his shadow weapon – heavy crossbow, his two legs planted firmly on a protruding rock covered in vines, he aimed upwards. When he saw the bat begin to turn, he noticed signs of it preparing its sound wave attack again! If they let it happen once more, they wouldn’t be left with many people! He looked towards the closest person, Zhang ZhengXiong. “A’Xiong! Think of a way to stop its attack!”

Zhang ZhengXiong lowered his stance. He activated the amplification device on his shoulder guards and his armguard began to release a milky white light. Suddenly, he punched forth and the white light instantly shot through the tunnel. Najas had its eyes burned by that bright light. It couldn’t help but raise its head in pain when it was about to release its sound wave attack. Weak Sauce and the little tadpole watched as the sound blast brushed right past their noses from the sinkhole and they broke out in cold sweat. Under Weak Sauce’s command, he and the little tadpole retreated a hundred steps before continuing to cheer.

Ye Cang closed his eyes and his ears wiggled. He locked on with Meteor Shot using his hearing. The instant the white light vanished, a spiraling meteor and a heavy bolt instantly pierced through the bat boss. Ye Cang quickly pulled out his shadow pike and waited for his chance. Watching the falling Najas, Zhang ZhengXiong also did the same. As it passed by, Zhang ZhengXiong executed his Barbaric Tackle to knock it in Ye Cang’s direction.
