The sound came from the package on Yu Wanqing's back. It was crisp and loud, like the sound of summer cicadas, echoing in the cave. All the torches lit by the magic stone flickered in and out according to the rhythm of the sound.
.
Yu Wanqing's face immediately turned pale and weak, as if she had encountered something frightening. She shouted to everyone: "Let's go quickly, the sound from the magic box means that there are evil spirit warriors from the demon clan nearby."
Lan Xiaoman could tell from Yu Wanqing's trembling hands how scared she was, as she held the magic box in her arms tightly with her hands.
Suddenly, continuous infrasound waves came from the cave, making everyone dizzy. Lan Xiaoman realized that they were coming from the flying bats. Those bats seemed to feel the stimulation of the magic box.
They saw several large groups of bats already hanging in the air, and then began to frantically pounce on the corpses of the spirit riders.
The phosphorus fire in the corpse was extinguished by the huge airflow of flying bats. It was not clear how the bats pounced on the corpse, but when a group of bats flew away, piles of white bones could always be seen.
Lan Xiaoman suddenly felt scared because this was the first time he saw a bat that preyed on large animals.
A thought suddenly flashed through Lan Xiaoman's mind. If the corpses of the spirit riders were eaten, then these carnivorous bats would not let go of any creature that could provide them with food.
Lan Xiaoman immediately gestured wildly to everyone and issued a low warning sound.
Yu Wanqing also noticed that the bat group was abnormal, and she whispered the order to everyone,
The entire team, in front of millions of bats, was like fish on a knife, ready to be slaughtered.
The giant carnivorous bat is eating rapidly, venting its most primitive desires.
Under the firelight, Lan Xiaoman ordered everyone to run forward quickly. They knew that when a certain ritual of the bat behind them ended, the killing would begin.
Lan Xiaoman slowly calmed down while running. He reacted quickly and quickly took out a piece of paper and a pen from his pocket, and quickly wrote a few words on it: "Corpse, gathering, fire."
He stuffed the note into Yu Wanqing's hand. After a quick glance, Yu Wanqing immediately understood what Lan Xiaoman meant.
Without a moment's hesitation, she immediately gave an order in a low voice to the entire team, asking them to gather the corpses at their feet in the narrow passage.
Everyone immediately understood Yu Wanqing's order, and they moved quickly. Regardless of the rotting corpses and stench, they gathered all the corpses at their feet and blocked the not too wide passage.
After everyone bowed collectively to the corpse, they doused the corpse with kerosene and set it on fire.
The flames quickly covered the passage, and the branches and branches on the top of the cave were accompanied by billowing smoke and bursts of stench, reflecting the panic on everyone's faces. They knew that this fire would only be able to resist this group of huge carnivorous bats temporarily.
of.
They didn't dare to stay for a moment and set off immediately, rushing to the next destination.
The soul in the magic box seemed to be aware of everything happening outside. Its sharp screams gradually became smaller and finally became quiet, giving everyone an unforgettable and deep fear.
It can be said that they escaped the disaster for the time being and finally reached the first foothold.
These footholds were set up by Xiang Wentian to facilitate exploration when he designed the system, and they are equipped with many basic living supplies.
Spare weapons, magic stones, elf biscuits, and pure drinking water were distributed to everyone under the command of Lan Xiaoman.
But the entire team did not recover from fatigue like they did after long journeys in the past. Lan Xiaoman also felt that the thrilling fear they had just experienced had left a shadow in everyone's hearts and could not be erased for the time being.
Lan Xiaoman saw Xiang Hu take out the wine bag from his backpack and drink heavily. The aroma of blood-red western wine was wafting in the air. Lan Xiaoman's face turned pale and he did not stop Xiang Hu like before.
The team's foothold was a temporary wooden hut with no windows, probably because they were afraid of encountering any danger, but it was not very hot inside, probably because they were in a cave. Lan Xiaoman suggested that everyone eat something immediately.
Then rest in place for three hours.
With the help of Xiao Feiyan and Chu Biqiu, Yu Wanqing opened a magic circle that shielded the team's existence to prevent the team from being discovered by some powerful demon monsters nearby while they were resting.
Lan Xiaoman was so sleepy that he slowly fell asleep amidst the aroma of wine. In his daze, he heard a voice calling his name softly. He felt that the voice was both familiar and unfamiliar.
"Xiao Man——" The drawn-out voice echoed in Lan Xiaoman's ears.
"Xiaoman——" the voice continued to shout, with a feeling that filled Lan Xiaoman with warmth. In a daze, Lan Xiaoman had not been hurt by anyone for a long time. His nose felt sore and he almost shed tears.
.
Didi, didi, beep... didi, beep... A strange sound came from the depths of the cave, whirling around the cabin. At this time, Lan Xiaoman had woken up. He saw Yu Wanqing and heard it.
At this sound, Yu Wanqing was still shaking everyone awake one by one, but Xiang Hu, not far away, had already woken up, his face seemed to have lost all color, and he was holding the sword tightly in his hand.
Beep beep beep beep...the strange sound was getting louder and louder, as if something large was approaching them.
"Everyone, get up quickly! There are sounds of zombies!" Xiang Hu issued a loud warning to the entire team.
Lan Xiaoman trembled in his heart. This was the monster he was most afraid of in the entire connecting cave.
The zombies of the Spirit Riders are the killers of adventurers, because in the dark, zombies can feel heat sources, which is their way of hunting.
The caves here are like natural hunting grounds for them! Because they can sense the heat source without using their eyes, find the creatures that set foot here, and then kill and eat them one by one.
Zombie originates from Chinese folklore stories. It refers to a corpse with stiff limbs, head not lowered, eyes not slanted, legs not separated, legs not bent, and not rotting. It is usually inhumane and relies on instinct for thinking and behavior. It likes to eat human blood and is afraid.
Sunshine; the image of zombies in modern times is widely used in people's entertainment life. At the beginning of the chaos of heaven and earth, there were four ancestors of zombies, called the zombie ancestors of heaven and earth. Among them, Drought Demon is the most well-known. The remaining three ancient zombies are: Win
Gou, queen, general! It is usually said that zombies are caused by resentment in the throat when a person dies and cannot breathe out, thus turning into a zombie.
However, what scares Lan Xiaoman the most here is that the zombies here have the ability to move at high speeds, which is very different from the ordinary slow zombies they have heard about. They also have brutal nature and amazing jumping ability.
It also has limbs that look like death's scythes.
After the zombies here kill other creatures, they will slowly rot their corpses and then slowly eat them.
Lan Xiaoman recalled the tragic situation in which some adventurers were killed by zombies here when he was playing the game. He felt a chill in his heart and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Xiang Hu took out a bottle of blue potion from his waist and said to everyone: "This is a stimulating elixir. Although it will make us feel some pain, it can speed up our nerve reaction speed. This makes
We increase our chances of survival."
"Can this potion work?" Lan Xiaoman asked, "Is there any other way?"
"Yes, yes, there was a very simple method in the past, which was to use a special kind of plant leaves, the kind that are as big as banana leaves, and use them to wrap your whole body to insulate yourself from the heat source."
Lan Xiaoman suddenly remembered that before they rested, Yu Wanqing had set up a magic circle specifically designed to shield the enemy's perception. Its necessary effect would definitely be able to shield the entire team's heat source. So how could these cave zombies accurately perceive them?
s position?
Lan Xiaoman felt a little more fearful in his heart, because he just recalled that something was calling him just now, or maybe it was this sound that attracted these zombies.
After drinking Xiang Hu's blue potion, Lan Xiaoman felt that time had slowed down. He could see the beating pattern of the cold light emitted by the magic stone's torch, and he could see that Yu Wanqing's movements were too slow and difficult.
Imagined.
Suddenly, a dark thing came into everyone's field of vision. The thing jumped down from the top of the cave and flew towards Xiao Feiyan next to it.
For the first time, Lan Xiaoman clearly saw what a real cave zombie looked like, wearing dirty and ragged clothes, but moving quickly, with its shriveled skin reflecting the blue magical cold light.
When Xiao Feiyan saw the cave zombies rushing toward her, she panicked, and in panic, she raised her long sword to face the enemy.
Lan Xiaoman saw Xiao Feiyan pick up the long sword in her hand and resist the attack of the cave zombies.
Lan Xiaoman's thinking speed suddenly became faster. He thought, if Xiao Feiyan was attacked before she drank the potion, she would definitely not be able to see the movements of the zombies in the cave, and Xiao Feiyan's body's reaction and movement speed would not be the same.
May engage in any close combat with cave zombies.
Sure enough, the entire team was able to react quickly after drinking the potion. They did not immediately help Xiao Feiyan to rescue the siege, but responded quickly to meet the zombies rushing up, because there were more cave zombies rushing from the depths of darkness.
came out.
Xiang Hu's eyes gradually returned to color, and he chopped off the zombies' heads one by one with the long sword in his hand. Yu Wanqing did not participate in the battle, but after she drank the potion, she began to enhance the protective capabilities of the magic circle.
Under the effect of the potion, Yu Wanqing finally reacted. She was chanting something quickly. After that, a very bright light spot appeared on her body, and the light spot slowly turned into a transparent mask.
, following the magic circle just now, it quickly enveloped the entire team.
Countless zombies flying down from the top of the cave were blocked by this white light shield. In Lan Xiaoman's hearing, the sound of the cave zombies hitting the light shield was like muffled thunder, constantly exploding in his ears.
Inside the mask, the head of the last cave zombie was chopped off by Chu Biqiu. Lan Xiaoman could see the head flying to his feet, and a stream of black liquid spurted out from the neck, almost splashing everyone's body.
More cave zombies were attracted by the fierce battle, and they were excitedly circling around the light shield. The light ball technique formed a purple trajectory in the air. The speed of the cave zombies was slightly slower than these purple deadly spheres. Some of them were
The zombies were hit, their bones exploded, and the black liquid in their bodies splashed outward.
They could see that the light ball illuminated Yu Wanqing's somewhat painful expression. She supported the magic circle, maintained the life of the entire team, and resisted the numerous cave zombies outside.
Outside the light shield of the magic array, more purple balls lit up. With the help of the potion, Yu Wanqing moved quickly and accurately, and dozens of zombies completely disappeared in the splendor of this fireball technique.
As the battle continued, Lan Xiaoman saw that outside the magic circle, countless cave zombies began to crazily collide with the magic circle held up by Yu Wanqing.
The entire top of the cave has been clawed out by zombies' sharp claws, and rocks are beginning to collapse. The broken rocks fall on the light mask, causing Yu Wanqing's body to sway back and forth, and the original silver color of the light mask begins to dim.

Boom...boom...boom...Countless prolonged impacts struck everyone's hearts, like the bells of death. (To be continued)
