Reincarnated As a Fox With System - Chapter 1148 1148: Troublesome Bat!
Unfortunately, it was already a little bit too late for Tang Li Xue to stop them.
[Imperial Frost Wyrm] and Lu Xingchen had already killed most of the human-sized black bats.
There were only ten human-sized black bats or so left.
Among them, there were two or three human-sized black bats that underwent transformation, and their strength had grown many times stronger than before.
“Why do you stop us? There are only a few of them left.” Lu Xingchen asked Tang Li Xue in confusion.
Tang Li Xue immediately understood that even Lu Xingchen could not sense the growing strength of the human-sized black bats, even with his Divine Sense.
If Tang Li Xue only relied on her previous [Spirit Perception], she might not be able to sense it as well, but her current [Extrasensory Perception] was a more advanced sensing-type divine ability, combined from [Five Senses Enhancement] and [Spirit Perception].
Not to mention that she also had [Paranormal Intuition], which was the divine ability she combined from seven skills: [Improved Concentration], [Intense Focus], [Precise Calculation], [Razor-Sharp Mind], [Accurate Prediction], [Indomitable Will], and [Advanced Intelligence Enhancement].
With the combination of these two divine abilities, Tang Li Xue’s ability to sense the opponent’s strength and danger level had far surpassed Lu Xingchen’s Divine Sense.
Before Tang Li Xue could explain it clearly to Lu Xingchen, several human-sized black bats had already pounced at Lu Xingchen!
PUFF—! PUFF—! PUFF—! PUFF—!
Lu Xingchen swung his sword reflexively and cut the several human-sized black bats before they could even touch him.
The two or three human-sized black bats quickly ate the slain black bats, and their strength grew even further.
Tang Li Xue’s pink lips twitched slightly in frustration when she saw that.
In the end, Tang Li Xue decided to try to stop the evolved black bats from eating more dead bats by attacking them.
[Moonlight Flashing Edge] plus [Sharp Edge Power]—!
CLANG—!
Surprisingly, Tang Li Xue actually failed to even hurt the three evolved black bats with her combined [Moonlight Flashing Edge]!
One of the evolved black bats managed to block Tang Li Xue’s attack with its claw!
The other evolved black bat flew swiftly toward Lu Xingchen and began to attack him with its claws!
CLANG—! CLANG—! CLANG—!
The evolved black bat could already trade blows back and forth against Lu Xingchen without losing!
Even Lu Xingchen was very surprised when he was fighting on equal ground against the evolved black bat!
When Tang Li Xue and Lu Xingchen were busily fighting against two evolved black bats, they noticed that there was still one evolved black bat that was still busily eating the rest of the bat corpses.
“Bring them close together! I will take them all down at once!” Lu Xingchen secretly whispered to Tang Li Xue with his Divine Sense.
Tang Li Xue nodded her head in understanding.
Tang Li Xue unleashed [Moon Shattering Blast] to punch the evolved black bat until it was thrown back dozens of meters.
Lu Xingchen also used his sword to thrust at the evolved black bat in front of him.
The evolved black bat managed to block Lu Xingchen’s stab, but it also flew back dozens of meters.
When the three evolved black bats were so close to each other, Lu Xingchen quickly sheathed his sword and took his sword-drawing stance.
First Form of [Sin Severing Sword Drawing Slash]—!
BOOOOOOOM—!
Lu Xingchen drew his sword and slashed at the three evolved black bats!
Who knew that the other two evolved black bats would hastily line up right in front of the last evolved black bat?!
PUFF—! PUFF—! PUFF—!
The two evolved black bats tried to block the powerful sword energy slash unleashed by Lu Xingchen with their claws, but it sliced through their claws and bodies like butter!
As for the last evolved black bats, Lu Xingchen’s [Sin Severing Sword Drawing Slash] managed to cut one of its wings.
But after the other two evolved black bats were killed, the last evolved bat devoured the two dead evolved bats, along with its own severed wing, very quickly!
Tang Li Xue also followed up by using [Crescent Moon Cleave] to finish off the last evolved bat, but the last evolved bat was moving very quickly and flying away from them instead!
Its speed was so fast that when Tang Li Xue and Lu Xingchen realized it, the last evolved bat could no longer be seen.
“Uhh, it ran away just like that after we killed all of its family and friends?” Lu Xingchen asked in confusion.
“I do not think so. That bat should not have anything like family affection or friendship. It wants to kill us simply because it wants to eat us, so it should not give up just like that.” Tang Li Xue explained what she sensed from the evolved black bat to Lu Xingchen.
Tang Li Xue actually sensed that the evolved black bat was actually very greedy for her body.
Uhh, well… That might sound strange, but it was mainly because of her [Yin Yang Celestial Sky Fox Bloodline] and the incomplete [Boundless Void Body].
In short, Tang Li Xue’s body was like Tang Monk’s body for the evolved black bat, so it should not give up that easily to devour her.
Then Lu Xingchen’s expression and Tang Li Xue’s topaz blue eyes turned solemn as they stared at each other and said: “That giant spider we killed earlier!”
Yes, the last evolved black bat’s target should be to devour the [Black Scale Broodmother]’s body, which they had killed before!
Unfortunately, it should already be too late for them to chase after it and stop that evolved black bat from devouring the [Black Scale Broodmother]’s body right now!
“Okay, let’s get out of here quickly before it comes back to kill us!” Tang Li Xue suggested to Lu Xingchen.
Lu Xingchen nodded his head in agreement.
Lu Xingchen rode on his flying sword while Tang Li Xue rode on [Imperial Frost Wyrm]’s back.
Both of them flew along the long cave corridor at a much higher speed than before.
“Meeoow~!” Little Loki complained to Tang Li Xue by saying that this would not have happened if she had just let it devour everything.
Tang Li Xue smiled and patted Little Loki’s tiny furry head gently.
For Tang Li Xue, it was not worth it to let Little Loki expose its heaven-defying abilities just to solve this little problem, unless they would not let Lu Xingchen live later.
But Tang Li Xue was reluctant to kill Lu Xingchen.
Not only because their relationship had become much closer on this trip inside the cave secret realm, but also because he had very good luck, which she could exploit to harvest more lucky opportunities.
“By the way, Little Loki, what is wrong with that ugly bat? How could that bat’s devouring ability seem to be stronger than yours?” Tang Li Xue teased Little Loki using telepathy, so Lu Xingchen would not be able to hear them.
Little Loki rolled its eyes disdainfully.
How could Tang Li Xue compare the Taotie cub like itself to a lowly bat?!
The reason it needed to devour so many things but it did not seem to grow that much stronger, because most of the nutrition was used for its growth.
As a pure-blooded Taotie cub, the resources it needed to grow were astronomical, but its growth potential was practically limitless.
That evolved bat might look like it could grow strong rapidly by devouring any creatures, but its growth limit was actually low.
Once it reached its growth limit, that evolved bat would not be able to grow stronger anymore by devouring ordinary dead bodies, or maybe its growth rate would slow down a lot compared to now.
That was also the reason why the evolved bat was craving to devour Tang Li Xue’s body.
Because after devouring Tang Li Xue’s body, its growth limit should be able to grow further.
Tang Li Xue nodded her head in understanding after hearing Little Loki’s explanation.
After they flew at high speed for several minutes so that the evolved bat would not be able to catch up to them, Tang Li Xue suddenly shouted: “Stop—!”
[Imperial Frost Wyrm] and Lu Xingchen immediately halted their flight.
“What is wrong?” Lu Xingchen asked Tang Li Xue, but he quickly noticed that Tang Li Xue’s expression had turned even more solemn than before.
“We cannot go further. I have sensed even greater danger in front of us!” Tang Li Xue replied to Lu Xingchen in a helpless tone.
“But… there is no other way than this… or maybe we should just go back to the direction where we came from? But we have to face that bat if we head back.” Lu Xingchen scratched the back of his head and asked Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue sighed in resignation as she muttered: “Even if we do not go back that way, that bat are already coming toward us now.”
As soon as Tang Li Xue finished her words, the crimson bat was flying very swiftly at them!
CLANG—!
The wary Lu Xingchen had already been prepared, so he managed to block the crimson bat’s attack on time with his sword, but Lu Xingchen did not expect that the crimson bat’s current strength had grown so much compared to before!
Lu Xingchen was thrown dozens of meters, but he stabbed his sword into the ground, so he would not be thrown even further.
Lu Xingchen frowned slightly because his hand actually went numb after he blocked the crimson bat’s casual attack just now.
“Be careful! This bat has become many times stronger than before!” Lu Xingchen shouted to warn Tang Li Xue.
Even without Lu Xingchen’s warning, Tang Li Xue had already sensed how powerful this evolved crimson bat had become.
“This is troublesome. This crimson bat should have become stronger than the previous giant spider.” Tang Li Xue murmured in a solemn tone as she activated her intermediate [All Knowing Eyes] to scan the crimson bat’s information.
