Just as Jiang Yue was admiring the scenery, Bai Jiuxiao suddenly let out a sharp cry.

"Hey!——"

Hope and Yan Che immediately became alert and looked in the direction Bai Jiuxiao indicated. With their eyesight, they could already see a dark "cloud" approaching them rapidly.

Bai Jiuxiao transformed into a red-crowned crane and spoke in human language: "Oh no, it's a group of vampire bats."

The human continent suffered from a locust plague, while the orc continent suffered from a vampire bat plague.

Just like their name, the vampire bats make a living by sucking blood. Their individual strength is not strong, roughly equivalent to that of blue-level or purple-level orcs. What is terrifying is their huge number.

Once vampire bats gather together to form a disaster, all that is left behind in their path are often dried corpses.

Their bloodthirsty instincts make them not afraid of any attack. They will just charge forward one after another until they have sucked the blood and flesh of all living things dry.

What's even more terrifying is that vampire bats are more easily attracted to the blood of females or cubs, and Jiang Yue, who is on Bai Jiuxiao's back at this moment, has become the bait of vampire bats.

Bai Jiuxiao had four people hanging on him, so he couldn't fly fast. Seeing the dark cloud getting closer and closer, Hope and Yan Che broke out in cold sweat.

The two of them made a quick decision, turned over and jumped onto Bai Jiuxiao's back. Hope held a dagger, and Jiang Yue handed the spear to Yan Che. The two of them stood in front and behind, guarding the female and the wounded.

Bai Jiuxiao flapped his wings hard, but still couldn't shake off the swarm of bats.

The black clouds finally entangled them. From the side, the white red-crowned cranes were gradually swallowed up by the crazy black clouds.

“Squeak!——”

The vampire bats let out sharp and piercing cries, their fangs had turned red from sucking so much blood.

Jiang Yue could only squat down and cover her neck tightly to protect her arteries.

Yan Che and Hope raised their blades and chopped the bats frantically. The blood of the bats splattered everywhere, and the whole scene was bright red.

There was someone on Bai Jiuxiao's body, so his movements were restricted. He could only use his claws to kill some bats and could not distract himself to defend his wings and head. Soon, tiny blood spots began to appear on his huge body.

Although such an attack could be healed instantly with a red-level physique, there would always be a moment when Bai Jiuxiao's physical strength would be exhausted. Once he fell into the water, without water beasts and boats, the four of them would have no way out.

In the beast world where death is everywhere, as a female, Jiang Yue once again felt powerless. She needed to become stronger, no matter what method.

During the fierce battle, Bai Qiankun finally woke up slowly, but the remaining poison in his body had not yet been eliminated, and his strength had not yet recovered. He also had several fractures on his body and could not transform. In a hurry, he took human form and opened his mouth to bite several bats to death.

"It's too dirty, don't bite it." Jiang Yue frowned and asked, "Can you still draw the bow?"

Bai Qiankun gritted his teeth and said: "Yes."

Jiang Yue took out a fine iron bow and arrow from the system backpack, handed it to him and said, "Find the leader. I only have twenty arrows, so use them sparingly."

Bai Qiankun looked at Jiang Yue in surprise. He originally thought that females were like delicate flowers, but he didn't expect that Jiang Yue was not only very calm, but also able to accurately find the flaws of the vampire bat group.

This kind of creatures usually do not gather together. Only when the vampire bat king with the strength equivalent to that of an orange-level orc appears will it cause a disaster.

The Bat King is smaller than ordinary bats. It hides among the bats and moves at lightning speed, making it very difficult to lock onto.

So even if you know this weakness, it is still difficult for anyone to kill the Bat King and escape from the bat disaster.

As a purebred golden-winged Roc, Bai Qiankun is born with divine eyes that can capture movements that ordinary people cannot.

He knelt quietly on one leg, holding a bow, his golden eyes quickly searching for the special tiny black shadow among the bats.

But every time a bat broke through the encirclement and rushed in front of him, Bai Qiankun had to shoot it, so the number of feather arrows in his hand was rapidly decreasing.

After the bat died, its body and arrow fell into the river and could not be retrieved. Jiang Yue didn't care about the pain and was thinking quickly about countermeasures in her mind.

Detonate the bomb? No, it might accidentally hurt someone on your side. Redeem new weapons? I'm running low on points.

There was no time left. Even though the bat could only suck a small amount of his blood each time, the increasing blood loss made Bai Jiuxiao feel his wings becoming heavier and heavier, and his flying speed dropped visibly.

Now, the four of them have been surrounded by vampire bats that cover the sky and the earth, and have even lost their direction.

Jiang Yue hurriedly took out a compass to determine the direction.

In despair, they suddenly heard a song that seemed to come from ancient times.

They couldn't make out the lyrics, but the song was loud and long. The bats' movements slowed down for a second under the influence of the song, and the pressure on the four of them was relieved.

Some of the weakest purple-rank or no-rank vampire bats began to fall into the river like dumplings, as if they were controlled by some irresistible force and committed suicide.

The space in front of him suddenly became much emptier, and at that moment, Bai Qiankun's eyes caught a glimpse of an unusual black shadow.

His mind suddenly became extremely clear, and everything seemed to be paused. Bai Qiankun drew his bow and shot an arrow.

"Whoosh!—"

The sound of an arrow breaking through the air was heard, and a vampire bat only the size of a palm was shot through.

The swarm of bats that lost their leader immediately fell into chaos. Bai Jiuxiao seized the opportunity, flapped his wings vigorously, and followed the direction indicated by Jiang Yue, finally rushing out of the coverage of the swarm of bats.

The moment she saw the daylight, Jiang Yue met the eyes of a beautiful mermaid.

He sat shirtless at the bow of the boat, his lips motionless as a distant song emanated from his chest.

The mermaid's blue eyes are deep and pure, and her wet white hair drapes over her sexy chest, making her as beautiful as an ancient Greek sculpture.

Jiang Yue, who had seen so many handsome men, was breathless for a moment, and then she saw the familiar red-haired fox.

“Qingyun?!”

Jiang Yue was surprised, but her body fell down uncontrollably.

"Yue'er!"

Several urgent voices came almost at the same time, causing Qingyun to jump into the water and try to catch it, but the white mermaid had already jumped into the water before him.

Jiang Yue held her breath the moment she fell into the water, but she was pulled into a wet embrace.

Before Jiang Yue had time to admire the mermaid, Lan Qiming shook his wet hair and said with disgust, "It's so dirty."

Jiang Yue's face froze, and she swallowed back the words of thanks she was about to say.

In fact, although Lan Qiming thought the water was dirty, he still subconsciously jumped into the water to save Jiang Yue.

The water was full of the corpses of vampire bats, and the river water was dyed light red. Lan Qiming didn't want to stay in the dirty water for a second, so he picked up Jiang Yue and returned to the boat.

Several males who fell into the water could only struggle to swim over on their own, especially Bai Jiuxiao, who had lost too much blood and his face was pale.

Jiang Yue was surrounded by three beastmen and carefully examined. Although vampire bats do not have toxins, they have sucked too much blood and are inherently blood-toxic. High-level males can resist it, but females may not be able to.

So Jiang Yue could only cast a grateful look at Bai Qiankun, Bai Jiuxiao, and the unknown mermaid, and was overwhelmed by the concern of her own beastly husband.
