Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 59 Calm down
The second floor of Huanglong Cave.

In the empty cave, Ji Fuyou methodically set up a series of traps.

First, there is a large metal net that can be unfolded to a length of 15 meters.

This large net uses aerospace-grade stainless steel stranded wire, with each strand capable of withstanding a tensile force of over 10 tons. Furthermore, the net is stacked in three layers according to a special structure, and it takes a critical tensile force of over 30 tons to break it.

In addition, the mesh has a large number of barbs about 8 cm long at the joints, made of Mn13 rolled steel plate with a hardness of HB200 or higher.

Online, a large amount of dry lubricant made of molybdenum disulfide and graphene composite powder is sprayed on to reduce the coefficient of friction.

After setting up the large net, he placed objects resembling chimes at key locations.

These chime bells can emit 40kHz pulse sound waves when struck. This wavelength is consistent with the echolocation frequency of the mutated blood bats. Moreover, these specially made chime bells are arranged and assembled so that when one is struck, the others will sound simultaneously.

Enhance efficiency.

If all goes well, it can directly disable the mutated blood bat's "eyes".

After doing all this, Ji Fuyou patiently hid in a place he had already "dug" and prepared plenty of food for, quietly waiting for the moment when the fog would arrive.

At the same time, he seized the opportunity to activate the Great Dream Scripture, using dream control techniques to enter the dream world and continuously practice the process of fighting the mutated blood bats.

"While dreams can update 'my' strength, the downside is that they can't incorporate the traps I've prepared, making it impossible for me to judge how effective they are and adjust them accordingly."

He felt a pang of regret.

but……

Even though the scenes in dreams are exactly the same as reality, we cannot rely on them completely.

In the real world, he killed all the mutated creatures in Fulong Mountain, Lion Mountain, and the first level of Huanglong Cave.

But in his dream, these strange beasts in the mist blew his brain apart.

No one knows what changes this difference will bring to the future.

Therefore, he must now be prepared to treat information from dreams primarily as a reference, rather than relying on it completely.

……

time flies.

Ji Fuyou knew that even if the time in the dream arrived, the mutated blood bats might not appear immediately, but he still waited here in advance to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Beasts capable of giving birth to source crystals are already extremely rare, let alone spiritual source crystals.

Especially mutated blood bats, monsters that can produce blue spiritual crystals.

Ji Fuyou waited with practiced ease.

This time the wait seemed to be quite long.

It was a full nine days later...

The familiar mist surged in again, enveloping the entire cave with incredible speed.

"finally come."

Ji Fuyou opened his eyes and checked his equipment.

A sharp sword, three short spears, a grappling hook, a hammer...

At the same time, he recalled the scenes of fighting the mutated blood bats in his dream again and again, and finally stood in the best attack position that he had already tested.

This time, it only took about ten minutes from the appearance of the fog to the strange noise coming from inside.

Ji Fuyou adjusted his posture, gripped the short gun tightly in his hand, and prepared to throw it.

The next moment, a colossal creature, its entire body blood-red and with a wingspan of five or six meters, suddenly flew out of the mist, like a demon emerging from purgatory. It locked onto his body with incredible precision and pounced straight at him.

Ji Fuyou's eyes were focused, and his spirit was roused to the extreme.

He had experienced this scenario too many times, so much so that at this moment, the only thing lingering deep in his mind was a calm and rational composure, as if the sky were falling.

As the distance between the two sides rapidly closed to almost touching, Ji Fuyou suddenly threw out his specially made short spear. Almost simultaneously, the hammer in his hand struck the specially made bronze vessel, which resembled a chime bell, heavily.

"Clang!" A resounding sound, like that of a great bell, echoed throughout the cave.

This sound wave is still within the range that humans can hear.

As the bells rang, a sound wave, exceeding the limits of human hearing, rippled outwards at an incredible speed.

The sound resonated with the grooves on the specially designed short gun, causing it to disappear into the mutated blood bat's acoustic perception system.

In particular, the interference of the chime bells on this mutated blood bat caused it to fall into chaos immediately, so much so that the specially made short gun pierced through its wing almost without any suspense!
"Squeak!"

The intense pain and the sudden interference of external sound waves caused the mutated blood bat to let out a piercing scream. Its massive body suddenly grew taller, trying to widen the distance between itself and Ji Fuyou.

Almost the instant it rose up to escape the battlefield, Ji Fuyou, who was already fully aware of the mutated blood bat's reactions after being attacked, had already activated the core trap in the dream.

A massive metal net descended from the sky, instantly covering the mutated blood bats that were in the midst of the disturbance.

After binding the mutated blood bat, an automatic winch in one corner of the net started working, quickly pulling its body towards a narrow area.

The beast struggled violently, its massive body seemingly standing upright, its fleshy wings flapping, actually pulling and cracking the rock where the winch was located.

Stone chips flew everywhere.

The immense force that erupted in that instant was probably no less than 10 tons!
At the same time, a shriek too sharp for the ears to hear came from the beast's mouth again. The next moment, even though Ji Fuyou's mental strength was as high as 18.5, he felt a pain as if his brain was being stabbed by steel needles.

Once the value exceeds 5, it possesses the foundation to overcome all other methods with sheer force.

The mutated blood bat's mental strength value exceeded 25. Even if it didn't understand mental energy atomization or liquefaction, or knew anything about refining secret techniques, Ji Fuyou could hardly remain unaffected simply by overwhelming its mental strength.

It's just that he can withstand it a little longer.

Yes, it can withstand it.

This feeling……

He knows it well.

He died from this move at least ten times.

The more people die, the more experienced they become, and their brain mechanisms also develop a certain degree of resistance.

Therefore, he endured the soul-piercing screams, staring intently at the mutated blood bat, his body half-crouched.

The moment it revealed its weakness as it struggled violently in pain, its body, which had been gathering strength, burst forth with all its power, and the whole person was like an arrow released from a bow, shooting out, charging, and smashing through the fog.

With a sprint, the gleaming sword in his hand tore through the air and thrust out.

The sharp edge, and the sword intent bursting from its tip, seemed to pierce through the waves formed by the soul's scream, precisely penetrating the mutated blood bat's vital heart—the most vulnerable part of this creature lies in the brainstem where the back of the head connects to the spinal cord.

However, this area was protected by an extremely sturdy skull, and in the dream, Ji Fuyou's sword could not pierce through it!
Therefore, the heart, which consists only of a membrane, becomes the best target for attack.

The moment its heart was pierced, the mutated blood bat let out an even more piercing shriek, and its massive body was about to leap again to escape the battlefield.

But at this moment, the metal net on its body was connected to the winch, and the total weight exceeded 2 tons. Its body was also bound by the iron net and could not exert any force. No matter how strong its body was, it could not fly into the sky with such a heavy object when its fleshy wings could not flap.

In particular, the barbs on the metal mesh had deeply pierced its body, tearing it to shreds as it struggled violently.

"laugh!"

Rapier!

Draw your sword!

Rapid shutdown!

The three movements, honed through countless trials, are executed flawlessly in one go.

The extra holes in the mutated blood bat's body caused a large amount of blood to pour out along the openings.

Even though this powerful mutated blood bat was incredibly brave, after struggling to escape for dozens of meters due to massive blood loss and the strong restraint of the metal net, it still fell to the ground unwillingly, kicking up a lot of stone chips.

The breath of life vanished rapidly.
