169 Lost Bat Cave (2/2)

Ceng! Ceng! Sou…

The group of 7 entered the green door under the command of the voice in their heads. The group entered a dim cave in the next instant. Like before the place was dark and there would be the occasional screech from bats.

The 7 disciples felt a cold aura here, which made them feel unsafe.

“Everyone watch out, the dangers in this bat cave is probably even greater than the 1st Trial.” Yang Gan warned as he led the way at the front.

Zhao Feng scanned the surroundings with his left eye and all the dangers were found.

‘The second trial is called the Lost Bat Cave, Lost… ”

Zhao Feng focused on the word, ‘lost’. He analysed that the 2nd trial’s landscape would be extremely complicated and dangers would lie amongst it at the same time. Yang Gan’s cultivation was the highest meaning he had the strongest senses and he could already feel the dangers ahead.

“Stay close to me and never leave a one yard radius.” Zhao Feng said to Lin Fan.

The latter nodded his head; he could also feel the dangers beyond. The group of seven headed towards the depths of the cave in one straight line but before 100 yards another intersection came up.

Which path to take?

Yang Gan instantly felt his head hurt. At this rate, it would be extremely hard, if not impossible, to walk out of the cave.

A smirk appeared on Zhao Feng’s face. A map had appeared in his mind, which had the paths he had just taken. It was the same as a real map, where all the paths they had taken had been ‘scanned’ into his mind.

As for the places that they had not explored, they were a ‘black’ spots.

With a power like this, even massive mazes would be broken by Zhao Feng. Therefore, he wasn’t worried at all and he acted like a tourist would. Zhao Feng’s attitude fell into Lin Fan’s eyes as mysterious and mighty.

“This Brother Zhao is far too mysterious. It’s like the Floating Crest Palace is his back garden.”

Lin Fan was speechless, with some admiration.

Facing another intersection, Yang Gan suggested: “Why not let Brother Quan and I both lead a team and leave behind some marks on the paths we take.”

No one rejected this proposition and through discussion, the teams were as so:

Yang Gan, Bei Moi and Liu Yue’er.

Quan Chen, Zhao Feng, Lin Fan and Ran Xiaoyuan.

Zhao Feng didn’t say anything, but Quan Chen’s eyes grew cold.

As the two groups separated, screeches of bats came from within the caves as the bats flew out. Zhao Feng saw that these bats had weird red lines on them and their eyes were blood red. The screeches from these black blood bats chilled their eyes.

From one of the entrances came out tens of black blood bats, which charged at Zhao Feng and co.

“Attack!”

A silver line appeared in Quan Chen’s palm as he instantly killed 3 black blood bats. The bats were mainly at the 1st or 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm and only one of them was at the 3rd Sky. It sent out a sonic wave, which moved their consciousness.

Lin Fan’s blood boiled as he barely managed to block it and he slayed another black blood bat in front of him. Zhao Feng thrust out 2 palms and he killed a few black blood bats.

A while later, all the bats were slain apart from the bat at the 3rd Sky, which screeched and lept into the air to escape.

Beng~ Sou-

A dark green arrow flashed as fast as lightning and it sank itself into the stomach of the bat.

Plop!

The body of the leading bat fell down and the rest of group glanced at Zhao Feng’s Luohou bow. The power of the Luohou Bow didn’t disappoint; it was able to slay the bat with just a bit of True Force.

The bat’s speed was extremely fast. If he used the Golden Stairs Bow, the speed of the arrow wouldn’t be able to catch up and the leader bat could dodge it.

After successfully killing a nest of bats, the group then proceeded to explore again and as they went deeper, the map inside Zhao Feng’s mind slowly expanded. But at the same time, the unknown ‘black areas’ also became bigger.

Zhao Feng’s expression was slightly solemn because the size of this bat cave was much larger than expected. After walking for another while, another group of bats appeared mainly at the 1st and 2nd Sky.

“The 2nd trial requires the participants to walk out in 5 days. Under this situation, we’ll be tired to death.” Zhao Feng analysed.

In just an hour's time, Quan Chen’s group had faced the attacks of a hundred bats.

“Everyone rest a bit.” Quan Chen sat cross legged on the ground to recover his energy.

Zhao Feng, Lin Fan and Ran Xiaoyuan were a bit better since they had eaten the Purple Spiritual Fruit, meaning that the energy in their bodies was still pretty full.

The remaining energy could last another day or two.

Si!

A figure as small as a line suddenly appeared from within the cave and it merged with the surroundings.

“What is it!?”

Quan Chen felt his waist hurt like he had been bitten.

Shua!

A grey poisonous snake dodged Quan Chen’s True Force and flashed away.

“Not good! That is a Yao snake, which is poisonous… ”

Quan Chen moaned in pain as the part where he had been bitten started to become purple and numb. At this point in time, cold sweat flooded down from his forehead.

Lin Fan and Ran Xiaoyuan both felt cold.

“Is it this snake?” Zhao Feng smiled as his two fingers pinched a grey poisonous snake that kept on struggling.
