Chapter 556: Go back and tell her

Han Yunxi’s smirk was an aggravating sight to Witch Aunt, but she held back. After all, they were on the verge of life and death now, so she only assumed that Han Yunxi was an ignoramus. The bloodsucking poison bats soon grew to fill the airs, making Witch Aunt nervous despite her experience with poisonous animals. She didn’t dare to underestimate them.

“Han Yunxi, these poison bats are clearly a hypertoxic swarm. Can’t you tell yet?” Witch Aunt asked.

Why wouldn’t Han Yunxi be able to tell? She had already faced an attack by this species in the past. The swarm was simply bigger and more horrific looking this time. But if there was one particular detail about these swarms, it was that they didn’t attack rashly. They would always wait until everyone had arrived before moving as one for the offensive. Moreover, this swarm was quite organized despite being scattered all over the air. Each of the bats had very clear roles and were just as formidable as a trained human army.

“So what if one can tell?” Han Yunxi repied mockingly.

Witch Aunt knitted her brows and stared at Han Yunxi, not understanding the meaning of her words. What does she mean by ‘so what if one can tell?’ Can she or can’t she tell their poison?

Doesn’t she know that we have to escape when faced with poison swarms like this? Once they’re all ready to attack, it’ll be impossible to flee.

“Han Yunxi, do you actually know how strong these poison swarms can be?” Witch Aunt’s voice betrayed her growing desperation.

Han Yunxi carelessly glanced at the bats overhead and answered, “They’re still grouping together.”

Witch Aunt sucked in a cold breath. So that damned girl does understand! If that’s the case, why isn’t she panicking yet? Is she seeking death?

Witch Aunt’s temper flared before she said sternly, “Han Yunxi, we have to quickly find a weak spot in their swarm before they finished grouping so we can charge through. That’s our only way out. For now, let’s forgo all grievances and think of escaping from this accursed place first! Don’t worry, as long as you guys cooperate with me, my skills are enough to kill our way out.”

Han Yunxi had no idea whether Witch Aunt was overestimating her own skills or underestimating Han Yunxi’s own. She coldly replied, “This wangfei will say it one last time: there’s no need!”

Long Feiye prepared to fight at her words. When it came to poison, he had complete faith in Han Yunxi. Witch Aunt held onto Chu Tianyin as she began to back away, her face full of disbelief. “Damned girl! I always heard that you were arrogant and presumptuous, but I never knew you didn’t even know the difference between Heaven and Earth! Let me tell you this, the poison bats of these grounds are twice as strong as any other toxic creatures you’ve met. You can’t begin to imagine their strength! If you don’t want to die, then obediently cooperate with me. Otherwise, you won’t even know how you’re murdered!”

What kind of powerful poison creatures had Han Yunxi met in her life? Wouldn’t Lil Thing count as one of them?

Long Feiye’s lips rose in a mocking lilt, while Chu Xifeng and Tang Li were both chuckling. Gu Qishao patted his chest and adopted an exaggerated expression. “This gentleman’s so scared, ah! Poison lass, you should obediently work with her! This gentleman really wants to know exactly how we’ll be murdered!”

“You!” Witch Aunt’s face grew red with anger, but she held back when she saw the bats growing denser. “You’ll all regret this!”

Han Yunxi only looked at her coldly without a word. Long Feiye suddenly unsheathed his sword, causing Witch Aunt to back away. She couldn’t help but lay out her cards and say to Han Yunxi, “Han Yunxi, now isn’t the time to hold a grudge. I’m telling you the truth, it’s impossible for me to face these poison bats alone, much less you. We have to work together or else it’ll really be too late! Think it over!”

As she spoke, Long Feiye’s sword came to rest against her throat. Witch Aunt’s martial arts skills were quite good, but she was no match for Long Feiye while still shouldering an unconscious Chu Tianyi. Gu Qishao stepped forward to hold her fast, while Chu Xifeng grabbed hold of Chu Tianyin. At the same time, the skies above them turned completely black as the bats finished grouping together. Now it was time for their attack.

Witch Aunt’s face was completely ashen. She couldn’t help but screech, “Han Yunxi, enough already! Your self-inflated ego ruined all of us! Let me go this instant, I still have a way! Hurry, do you hear me?!”

Han Yunxi stared at her indifferently, a spark of sympathy flashing in her eyes. At the same time, the mass above them began to move. Witch Aunt grew more fearful and nearly lost her mind. “Han Yunxi, they’re coming to attack us! Don’t you want your life anymore? Take it as me begging you, will you? Let’s work together! As long as you cover for me, I’ll definitely be able to pick out the bat king!”

Han Yunxi still stood unmoving before her.

At this moment, the bats directly overhead suddenly went diving down at them like arrows, leading the rest of the swarm in their wake. Too late! It’s already too late! Witch Aunt grew dazed. I don’t want to die, much less such a wretched death! She began to struggle for her life, but Gu Qishao actually let her go immediately. Witch Aunt immediately went for her arrows, but before she could actually shoot, but dense cloud of poison bats sudden seem to recoil in fright. In an instant, they had all scattered to the four winds, disappearing from sight.

Witch Aunt was stunned. She looked disbelievingly at the sight. “This…what just happened?”

As if suddenly recalling something, she whipped her head towards Han Yunxi. “You…you…”
