Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Ivan, wielding his greatsword, was not blinded by his own power. Instead, he opted for a prudent defensive counter-attack strategy. He was not particularly adept at offense, and even with his brother-in-law's greatsword enhancing his attack power, the best approach was still to fight his enemy in his area of ​​expertise.

There was one problem, though: the greatsword in his hand was rapidly consuming magical energy.

Su Li naturally thought of this. His solution was to cooperate with Song Mingyu. Song Mingyu's healing power would plunder the enemy's life force and convert it into energy to replenish the Eclipse Greatsword's consumption.

To achieve this, he deliberately reduced the power of the Eclipse Greatsword and minimized its consumption.

Of course, as a skill that was devised on the spur of the moment, it also has many drawbacks. For example, Su Li still needs to expend mental energy to maintain the Eclipse Greatsword, which means that at this stage, he and Song Mingyu are adopting a more passive strategy under the attack of the worms.

However, this is not a problem. Su Li and Song Mingyu are leading the worms to slowly move the battlefield this way. Once the two sides meet, they will be able to achieve a synergistic effect greater than the sum of their parts.

Ivan looked at the bats surrounding him and took out a bottle of golden-red drink from his inventory.

Honey from Black-striped Golden Dragon Bees (Apple)

[Iron Grade]

[Sweet and tempting: After consumption, the user exudes a sweet fragrance and the scent of dragon. However, the dragon's aura is too weak to intimidate; instead, it may attract enemies to attack the user.]

I wonder if this sweet and alluring ability will be of any use to these enemies.

Sun Keke opened the lid for Ivan and fed him to his mouth.

The bottle was designed with combat in mind and the honey's viscosity in mind, using a stand-up pouch. Ivan downed the honey in one gulp. The cloyingly sweet taste made Ivan feel like his tongue was going on strike.

After swallowing a mouthful of honey, the magical energy within the body begins to circulate, and the effects of the honey take effect rapidly.

Nestled in her husband's arms, Sun Keke caught a sweet scent tinged with a wild, untamed quality. She knew then that the honey had taken effect.

Ivan nervously looked outside. The bats quickly picked up on the sweet, magical scent.

These flying rats living underground have never tasted anything sweet in their lives, and their related abilities have long since atrophied. Only the golden-level bats, in their pursuit of a perfect physique, have regained their ability to recognize this taste.

But that wild, untamed atmosphere was far more alluring to the bats than the sweet scent of honey.

One of the orthodox evolutionary chains of bat-type monsters is the flying dragon category, and what the Black-striped Golden Dragon Bee collects is the flower of a tree dragon that was once shaped by the will of the world, which is an extremely high-level dragon aura.

The presence of a high-quality, extremely weak advanced race before one's eyes is an excellent opportunity.

The bats below the Gold level instantly rioted. Even the Gold level bats were somewhat agitated, with two bats even putting some distance between themselves, clearly wary of their own kind in the face of an opportunity.

Seeing this conspicuous action, Ivan sneered inwardly, [As expected of an uncivilized beast; even with a gold-level brain, it's not intelligent.]

Good hardware, poor software; high intelligence, but no wisdom. This is the source of players' confidence in defeating monsters far above their level.

The two gold-level bats exchanged a glance, wary of their opponent, while loosening their control over the other bats.

They couldn't see it as a mocking trap, but they could see the threat posed by the Eclipse Greatsword. They still possessed some wisdom in using a large number of offspring to wear down the enemy, and then reaping the benefits.

With the leader relinquishing authority, numerous Silver-level bats, which had been eagerly anticipating their arrival, swarmed towards Ivan and his group like a whirlwind.

Each bat's wing was adorned with a cyan wind blade.

Ivan held the sword in one hand and slashed forward with the greatsword. With this density and the attack intensity of the eclipse, there was no need to consider weaknesses; the only thing to consider was how to wield the greatsword impenetrably within a limited space—which, coincidentally, was a fundamental skill in swordsmanship training.

Ivan spun the greatsword in his hand, creating a cone-shaped death zone in front of him as it swung at high speed. All the silver-level bats that pounced on him were cut down by the sharp blade.

The severed bats, under the control of Song Mingyu's thorny halo, had their remaining life force drained, transforming into pure life force and magical energy, restoring Ivan and Sun Keke to their original state.

With the magic energy replenished, Sun Keke's complexion improved significantly, and Ivan's black hole defense, which was on the verge of collapse due to the depletion of magic energy, stabilized.

Wielding the greatsword had become an instinct, and Ivan even began to be distracted, thinking about how to improve his black hole defense—a hastily developed ability that, after practice, gave him some new insights into the structure of the spell.

At the same time, Ivan felt much more at ease. If they could maintain this intensity, he and Sun Keke would definitely be able to hold out until his brother-in-law arrived.

"When my brother-in-law arrives, I'll kill you all!" Ivan glared fiercely at the golden bats in the distance.
