The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 490 This... how is this possible?

Lin Chen hid in the shadows, watching the people fighting fiercely, and was secretly alarmed.

The allure of the Cave Heaven Gate to cultivators in the world is truly immense!
Even knowing that this was just a ticket to enter the cave, and did not represent immortality or cultivation techniques, they still could not suppress their fervor and involuntarily joined the scramble.

What if?
Lin Chen thought about his own Heavenly Revelation Jade. Back then, five sects fought over it. In the end, his father won the Heavenly Revelation Jade, and the five sects also pursued him relentlessly. However, the intensity of the pursuit was far less than it is now.

Some were injured, some fell to the ground, some were blinded by rage...

That jade pendant was like a vicious curse; whoever it fell into the hands of would be immediately subjected to a frenzied attack by those around them, suffering either death or serious injury.

After four or five people fell in succession, the group began to fight in teams.

Everyone realized that no matter how strong one was in individual combat, it was virtually impossible to seize the jade pendant from such a group of people and then break through on one's own.

To seize the jade pendant, one must defeat the vast majority of people.

Lin Chen was engrossed in reading when he suddenly felt something, looked up, and his expression changed drastically.

Ghost-faced Bat!
Finished!

These ghost-faced bats silently and overwhelmingly surrounded the area, but did not rush to attack, as if they were hunting.

Since he couldn't escape anyway, Lin Chen found a brick house, crawled inside, blocked the doorway with a heavy solid wood wardrobe, and knocked off a square brick to make it easier for him to observe the outside.

"what is that!"

"My God!"

"Stop fighting! Look up at the sky!"

The people fighting didn't notice, but the injured person who fell to the ground was looking up at the sky and was the first to notice the strange thing around them.

At the same time, the demon bats in the sky began their attack.

"what!"

"What the hell!"

"Get inside! Quickly, get inside!"

Some screamed, some resisted, and some reacted quickly by shouting. Those who could still move rushed into the houses next door without regard for anything else, breaking through the walls and continuing to flee inside the houses, looking for enclosed spaces to hide in.

The injured, slow-moving, and unprepared explorers were instantly enveloped by the ghost bats.

The screams stopped abruptly.

Within seconds, all the explorers who had not escaped into the house were reduced to bloody skeletons.

The ghost-faced bats devoured all the flesh and blood they could find, then took flight, searching for their next prey.

Lin Chen peeked through the crack and witnessed this scene, his heart filled with horror. These ghost-faced bats were so numerous and fearless; even a Grandmaster's protective aura couldn't withstand their bites and claw attacks—it was terrifying. The ground had returned to silence, except for rows of skeletons, backpacks, and scattered flashlights. One of the flashlights shone on a jade pendant stained with blood beside a skeleton.

The entrance to the Cangshan Cave!
Lin Chen's heart immediately stirred; this seemed like a good opportunity!

Lin Chen noticed that there were no ghost-faced bats around the house where he was hiding, which meant that the mysterious effect that Liu Sansheng had given to scare away the ghost-faced bats was still working!

However, there were still many survivors hiding in the house nearby. If he went out and was recognized, he would definitely be in big trouble.

Lin Chen glanced around the room and found that it was a bedroom. The large, heavy wardrobe was full of clothes, and he immediately had an idea.

……

"boom"

A brick was knocked away, revealing Zhao Zongsheng's face behind the wall. He had a bloody gash on his face, and his muscles were turned outwards, making him look quite terrifying.

Zhao Zongsheng searched the open space with his eyes. The escape had been too chaotic, and he didn't know who had gotten hold of the door latch.

The feeling of gaining and then losing it made Zhao Zongsheng so angry that he wanted to go crazy.

He glanced outside, his eyes instantly filled with terror and lingering fear of having survived.

If I had been even slightly slower, I would probably be a skeleton on the ground by now.

What are these ghostly things?
Zhao Zongsheng's gaze unconsciously swept across the ground, then suddenly stopped, his eyes widening abruptly.

Door opener!

The jade pendant was right next to a skeleton, emitting a faint glow under the flashlight beam.

It's still there!

Zhao Zongsheng's heart suddenly pounded wildly, and he wished he could rush out and pick it up immediately, but he didn't dare.

Those man-eating monsters were swarming in the sky, and the rooftops were also full of them. I don't know how many thousands or tens of thousands of them there were. If anyone went out at this time, they would be doomed.

Just as Zhao Zongsheng was struggling with his decision, footsteps suddenly sounded on the bluestone road in the distance.

A man dressed in a blue cloth robe and cloth shoes appeared at the end of the road. His head was wrapped in a black cloth, and only his eyes were visible.

A dark mass of monsters rose up and pounced on the man.

Zhao Zongsheng's heart skipped a beat; this man was doomed.

The next second, Zhao Zongsheng's eyes widened suddenly, filled with shock and disbelief.

How can this be?
