Free Chapter 0330: Vampire Bats

The vast mountains and forests, the lush forest sea.

The chirping of insects and cicadas just now was instantly replaced by a strange sound of flapping wings.

Puff puff puff...

A dense group of bats swarmed out like a dark cloud, and almost instantly surrounded the team.

The short and thick black hair, scarlet eyes, white fangs, and the body as big as a basin... These are not the wild bats commonly seen in the mountains and forests, but a group of vampire bats transformed by evil witchcraft.

With their qualifications, they cannot be called orthodox vampires. At most, they are some blood slaves and derivatives created by orthodox vampires.

Their combat power is undoubtedly a drop in the ocean when used to deal with the two glorious knights and three law-breaking knights in front of them. However, after the five knights threw off the rough cloth cloaks that were in the way, they gathered back to back with a nervous look on their faces, as if they were afraid of something.

In the deepest part of the dense forest in the distance, a tall figure wrapped in a gorgeous red dress was standing on a thick horizontal branch, peeping at the knight team from afar through the gaps between the mottled leaves. And beside her, every branch of the tall ancient tree was hung upside down with dense vampire bats.

Compared with the bat swarms that went out to fight, the hundreds of vampire bats hanging on the whole tree were the guards that the bloody witch Mary really valued. They all had huge bodies like calves, gray fur, furry and thin faces, and anthropomorphic faces.

They hung upside down on the branches, vigilantly watching the surrounding mountains and forests, and from time to time opened their mouths full of sharp teeth to emit high-frequency sound waves that were difficult for human ears to capture, and maintained close contact with the peripheral "sentinels".

However, beside Mary, there were also eight human-shaped vampires dressed as knights, but with bloody eyes and fangs. They are the killer weapons that Mary dares to hunt down the fleeing knights recklessly - the Blood Knights.

There are eight Blood Knights in total.

Among them, there are three Blood Knights of Level 2 strength and five Blood Knights of Level 1 strength.

Their predecessors were the Glorious Knights and the Lawbreaker Knights who once ruled this plane.

However, after Mary's vampire embrace and witchcraft dual control, they have long lost their nature and become the first generation of vampires who only follow Mary's lead. But in this way, their own intelligence will also be significantly reduced compared to before, and most of the combat skills before reincarnation will be forgotten.

Therefore, the Level 2 Blood Knights have a strong physique and powerful blood-sucking regeneration ability, but can only exert the combat power of the Level 1 elite wizard. This is particularly regrettable for Mary!

As for those Level 1 Blood Knights, they are just vampires with wizard-level strength.

The vampire bats that attacked first were like wolves circling around the sheep, making shrill howls while weaving in and out of the dense forest. More than 600 bats gathered in the dense forest less than 100 meters away, and they covered the place tightly with their bodies.

What's even more bizarre is that with such a high density of organisms, they didn't collide with each other. This makes people admire their flying skills even more!

After half a year of fleeing and hiding, this group of demon hunters have long lost their previous strength. Without the support of the Knight Kingdom, they no longer have magic horses to travel, no magic crystals to feed them, and they are not full, warm, or sleep well... This has caused their combat power to decline seriously.

Without magic horses, they can only rely on their legs to travel through mountains and rivers; without magic crystals, their rune swords become fire sticks, and they can no longer inspire that kind of hot elemental flame. If they want to launch a semi-long-range energy blade, they can only rely on their own energy reserves.

This obviously can't last long!

But even so, when the rune sword was held in their hands, the dazzling energy fluorescence began to roll in their bodies, and the combat power displayed by this group of high-level knights was still so violent and fierce, unmatched!

Energy blades shot out one after another, destroying everything in their way, and it was impossible to resist.

Whether it was a tall tree that one person could hug, a branch as thick as an arm, or the shiny black leather body of a vampire bat, they were all split into two under the violent sword blade, and then exploded into grass and wood debris and smelly purple blood all over the sky.

The 5-man team was obviously experienced. While clearing the way with energy sword blades, they quickly moved in the forest, looking like they were determined to break through.

And the numerous vampire bats were obviously helpless against them.

After they turned into bats, they were unarmored or lightly armored targets. It was simply a dream to rely on their weak bodies to compete with energy sword blades with an attack intensity of 30-50 degrees.

So they could only fly around with strange squeaking sounds, hoping to interfere with the enemy's movement with their dense numbers.

As for the vampire bats that rushed into the defense circle of the knight team, they had a miserable end.

Rune swords made of special magic steel were wielded by high-level knights, and the sword light flashed as fast as lightning. Five long swords formed a sword circle, and all the bats that broke into it were killed one by one before they could get close to them.

Mary, who was standing on the periphery and watching from a distance, had no feeling at all about the slaughter of her subordinates.

For her, only these blood knights and low-level vampires around her were worthy of attention. As for the blood slaves and derivatives on the periphery, no matter how many died, she would not feel sad. If the number was not enough, find a human city to hold a blood donation feast, and the number of low-level slaves would soon be replenished.

So, these guys were originally sacrifices, so how could they be worth it or not!

However, it is still difficult to replenish blood slaves in this wilderness, so Mary does not intend to let these cannon fodders be damaged too much.

With Mary's slight wave of her hand, nearly half of the hundreds of low-level vampires entrenched beside her flew up instantly, flapping their wings and blending into the group of vampire bats.

"Be careful, vampires are coming!" The knight leader in the team whispered.

In the past six months of chasing and escaping, countless partners have fallen miserably under the fangs and sharp mouths of these vampires because of physical exhaustion or carelessness.

These vampires may not have outstanding attack and defense power, but they are extremely good at fighting.

They are mixed in the ordinary group of vampire bats. Once they see an opportunity, they will pounce on it quickly, and transform into human form the moment they rush to the side of the target. They do not avoid the knight's attack at all, just pounce on it, and scratch and bite the flesh of the knight outside the armor in exchange for injury.

Such fearless attacks are simply impossible to defend against!

If only one or two vampires fought like this, the knights could still cope with it with their sharp swords and armor, but if a group of vampires came up, even the Law-Breaking Knights would find it difficult to resist such an attack.

So with the addition of the vampire group, the battle of the 5-man knight team became difficult.

The physical strength of the Radiant Knights far surpassed that of the vampires, so it was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables to kill them. So, the vampires desperately urged the vampire bats to rush up and entangle the two Radiant Knights, and they quickly gathered together and continuously attacked the defense circle around the three Law-Breaking Knights.

In the violent and bloody battle, a Law-Breaking Knight was only concerned with waving his sword to kill the mutant bats flying past him, and he didn't even notice the low bushes under his feet.

He stumbled and fell back two steps, and actually "stayed away" from the defense circle.

Such a change immediately made him break out in a cold sweat. Before he could stand firm, he waved his sword and tried to rush back to his companions who were close at hand.

Unfortunately, it was too late!

Swish...

For a moment, countless groups of vampire bats poured into the knights' battle circle from this gap, and used their terrifying numbers to make all the knights in a panic.

And just when they had no time to take care of it, groups of vampires fell from the sky and madly attacked the sword formation of the knights who had strayed from the group with their bodies.

Blood splattered, limbs flew!

However, in this bloody storm, the figure of the knight who had strayed from the group was also rushed farther and farther by them, and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Puff puff puff...

Several consecutive energy sword blades soared into the sky, instantly chopping the group of vampire bats around them into scattered pieces of meat, and the blood rain was all over the sky, and everyone's body was dyed red.

Just after clearing out this group of enemies, before they could evenly adjust the violent energy in their bodies, a new group of vampire bats swarmed in from all directions and suppressed them again.

Through the gaps between the chaotic bats, the knights could vaguely hear the sound of their companions who had left the group more than ten steps away, slashing and shouting. But soon, with a shrill scream, the sound in the distance gradually stopped, leaving only the strange sucking sound that made people's teeth ache and legs weak.

"No, leader, we have to save Stofi!" The strong man Rokar, who was wielding a huge axe, was already panting with exhaustion, and his knotted muscles were covered with shiny sweat stains.

"What are you saving? Can't you see that he's dead?" Sim chopped and roared angrily.

The team was already incomplete. If they stayed here because of a dying person, I'm afraid they would not be able to escape today. So he hated Rokar's suggestion that only grew muscles but not brains.

"I don't care, I won't abandon any of my brothers..." Rokar, whose eyes were already bloodshot, roared angrily, turned around, cleared the way with his giant axe, and fought hard alone into the distance.

Damn it, damn it, damn it...

As expected, before Sim could curse, the knight leader had made a quick decision.

"You take Sim first, I'll bring Rokar back. We'll meet at the agreed location..."

After speaking quickly, the knight leader's body was covered with dazzling fluorescence the next second. These rune energies came from his body and condensed into a light armor on the surface of his body, which also gave him a more violent and fiercer fighting ability.

When the dazzling sword blade fluorescence shone all over the sky, the bat corpses fell like raindrops.

"Go, go quickly, I'll catch up with you in a while..."

The knight leader roared loudly and rushed into the dense forest. chapter;
