Chapter 110 - Sneak Attack (1/2)
Just when Lin Luoran is about to leave quietly, Crystal screams. The four of them actually have backtracked.
Looking at the bats that follow them in, Lin Luoran freezes. She really doesn’t want to show herself now and become another free meal of the bats.
Thanks to the bats, Lin finally gets to see the people from the Blood Line fight.
After Crystal and her men are forced back into the cave, bats in the size of owls gather. Bat-like wings grow on Crystal’s back. Crystal’s eyes turn red, and she starts to scream in a voice which normal people can’t even hear.
It’s sound wave attack!
Hiding behind a stone, Lin Luoran is also influenced by the sound wave. She immediately feels a faint sting in her spirit, which makes her too scared to probe anymore.
At this point, Crystal’s sound wave hits the bats’. Clearly, this princess of the Blood Line is powerful. She has gained the upper hand in this confrontation and bats rus.h.i.+ng in the cave fall down, dead.
Dana is not happy about this. He says: “Crystal, we should not irritate them…”
Crystal sneers: “Do we have another option?”
Dana looks grim, and the two sidekicks are frightened. Still, the three of them choose to transfigure as well. With her sharp eyes, Lin Luoran discovers that though the four of them all have wings on their backs, Crystal’s wings are mixed with golden lines and there are also silver lines on Dana’s wings. However, the other men’s wings are pure black.
Is this the difference between their origins? Lin Luoran has no idea why she is in the mood of considering this question, yet she keeps this slight difference in her mind.
After Dana and the sidekicks join the fight, more and more bats are dead. Lin Luoran is relieved. Though there are lots of bats, there is a chance for them to win as long as they keep guarding the entrance and kill the bats one by one.
The strange thing is that Crystal and her men don’t look relaxed.
Soon, Lin Luoran realizes that the bats are still coming endlessly. Before the bats inside the cave are killed, more rush in. Also, a host of bats are coming in from the path which leads Lin here. This means that she can no longer leave quietly!
Now, both of the exits are blocked by the army of bats. Dana has to go fight those coming in from the path along with a sidekick. The line of defense leaks and a bat manages to get in. It bites the man beside Crystal on the arm and starts drinking his blood greedily!
These are vampire bats! Lin Luoran frowns. These vampire bats drink the blood of people from the Blood Line, which means that they are a mutated species… This is not working. When the four of them are exhausted, Lin will be the one being trapped.
Lin Luoran makes a decision at once. She waves the Snow Sword and cuts the vampire bat on the man’s arm in half. The other bats smell the blood and rush down. In a second, they suck the dead bat up.
Crystal looks at Lin Luoran who just came out of nowhere. She says with light in her eyes: “Miss Lin, you finally show yourself!”
Lin Luoran draws back her sword and kills several bats which are too close to her. She nods to Crystal.
Although she is calm on the outside, she is quite frustrated. It turns out that the princess of the Blood Line has long since sensed her presence. If she didn’t come out, she would look like a coward.
“先合力对付蝙蝠,我们的事儿出去再说!” (Fight the bats together first. We can deal with each other after we get out!)
Lin Luoran says in mandarin. She doesn’t care whether these British people can understand her. Lin just doesn’t want to accommodate them and speak English.
“蝙蝠越杀越多,我们是杀不尽的,合力冲出去才行!” (More bats are coming, and we can never kill every last one of them. We should rush out of the cave together!) Clearly, Crystal can understand Mandarin, and she answers in Mandarin though her p.r.o.nunciation is not so standard.
