Lin Qingyao could sense that the grass and trees around her, the leaves quietly breathing, small crawling insects gently moving their own feet, a drop of dew slowly rolling off the leaf.
This feeling is as if everything around you is under your control, it's mysterious.
A sudden loud noise, the sound of flapping wings echoed.
Lin Qingyao thought it was just a flying bird and didn't pay attention.
Suddenly, a harsh and piercing voice rang out, the sound was extremely unpleasant, making Lin Qingyao feel that her ears were slightly painful.
The little insect that was just eating leaves heard this sound and quickly hid its entire body under the leaf.
Lin Qingyao sat on the treetop, slightly furrowing her brow. What was this thing after all? At this point, Lin Qingyao would no longer think it was just an ordinary flying bird. The cry of an ordinary flying bird wouldn't make her ears ache, nor would it make her heart feel flustered and panicked.
Lin Qingyao held her breath, reined in her energy, but did not recall the divine sense she had released. Now that night shrouded the entire mountain forest, and with her poor eyesight, she could only rely on this divine sense to explore the outside environment.
If there's anything approaching within five meters of her surroundings, she can also have a defense.
As the wings flapped, the sound of breaking through the air gradually approached Lin Qingyao.
"How come this voice sounds so familiar?" Lin Qingyao thought to herself.
She couldn't help but worry that the unknown thing was coming for her, and if so, today would indeed be her unlucky day. She had gone to a busy market and encountered many things, and now she had finally escaped, only to encounter trouble in the quiet mountain forest where she usually practiced.
This is simply her asking for trouble, and trouble finding her! Lin Qingyao thought angrily.
Although she was helplessly smiling in her heart, the movements of her hands did not slow down. She had already quietly pinched off a spell seal. If things changed, then she could only fight back.
Lin Qingyao's intuition told her that although this thing was a bit of trouble, it wasn't too dangerous.
She didn't want to be a greenhouse, a small white flower nun who would never make any progress in her life. Being able to improve her abilities in battle was what she had been longing for. With this thought, Lin Qingyao felt relieved.
Intuition, after all, doesn't represent reality. Lin Qingyao still didn't let her guard down and instead prepared to put in all her effort to fight against this unknown thing. Even if she couldn't win, when the time came, she would retreat with her whole body intact!
Rustle rustle——
Those wings fluttered quickly a few times, as if seeking balance, and finally landed on a tree about four meters away from Lin Qingyao.
This thing, doesn't seem to be coming for her? Lin Qingyao felt a bit surprised in her heart.
But since that's the case, Lin Qingyao thought it was better to just get along with this thing. If someone offends me, I will offend them back, but if they haven't offended me, how can she go and provoke trouble?
Having decided to let things be, it didn't mean that Lin Qingyao didn't have a vigilant heart. She was still observing the thing with her divine sense.
Something hanging upside down from a branch of a tree was just a small black bat.
Its wings wrapped around its entire body, as if it was wearing a black windbreaker.
Lin Qingyao saw this thing, her heart was lifted, she still remembered that when Sha Jingming first gave a similar thing to entangle himself, he ended up killing the vampire bat by himself.
After that lesson, Lin Qingyao would never think that bats are beneficial animals again.
But now that she had confirmed this thing, Lin Qingyao was no longer afraid. At the beginning, that little bat, she had easily gotten rid of it. Now her cultivation was much higher than before! Of course, there was even less need to be afraid.
Lin Qingyao's heart had a hint of curiosity, what kind of creature was this bat, was it considered a monster or something else? Could it be that the legendary Western vampire from the stories really existed?
If it were an ordinary variant species, she would not believe it even if she was beaten to death. An ordinary bat will follow a person all the time? Then quietly sucking a person dry?
If she said it was a monster, Lin Qingyao felt it was too far-fetched.
At first, the bat mysteriously turned into blood water, which left a deep impression on her.
Whoosh!
Just as Lin Qingyao was hesitating, another bat flew in.
No, one after another...
They all fell on that tree, and in a moment, the branches were filled with small black bats the size of palms, these little bats were extremely quiet, as if they were all waiting for something silently.
Lin Qingyao felt as if she had inadvertently stumbled upon a strange gathering of bats.
She thought to herself that she should probably leave this place, one or two bats she could handle, but ten or eight of them now was a different story, and if there were even more, who knows, they might just suck her dry.
Lin Qingyao moved her body and was about to lightly jump down from the tree.
However, it was discovered that the vampire bats on that tree suddenly became restless, with sharp cries ringing out. Two bats flapped their wings, seemingly wanting to fly towards Lin Qingyao.
Lin Qingyao's heart was filled with a chill, and she suddenly calmed down, her face revealing a bitter smile. It seemed that she had indeed been unlucky to the point of no return, and now even wanting to leave was impossible.
Fortunately, the two black bats that were unusually restless landed on a tree and circled around for a while, sensing that there was no movement here, and then quietly fell down again. The surrounding environment returned to its original state, as quiet as death.
Lin Qingyao knew that if she went down, she would be surrounded by these bats, so she simply stayed on the tree.
In the worst case scenario, I'd rather be surrounded by bats myself than stay here and watch these blood-sucking bats do whatever it is they're going to do!
Besides, in three or four hours, it will be dawn, and at that time these creatures living in the dark will naturally disperse.
In the night sky with a little brightness under the starry sky, two bats flew down again.
Lin Qingyao's eyes were not good, and these two vampire bats had not entered the range where she could use her spiritual sense to explore. She could only vaguely see the heads of these two bats, which were obviously much larger than those palm-sized bats, each one was probably as big as a wild chicken...
Uh...... Lin Qingyao was amused by her own "apt" description, and she tightly covered her face to prevent any movement from appearing.
Two large birds flew over, but instead of landing directly on the tree covered with small bats, they landed on the ground.
At this moment, Lin Qingyao could already sense their specific appearance.
These two bats, seemingly a male and female, how can she tell them apart? One is slightly more robust than the other.
Two bats, one bat's eyes were blood-red, the other was a deep green. Without exception, both pairs of round little eyes had an obvious glint of greed and bloodlust.
With the addition of these two bats, the little bat was already difficult to deal with. Now, two more unknown large bats have arrived, and Lin Qingyao is even more afraid to move. She quietly took out two talismans from her hand, one for invisibility and one for divine movement. Lin Qingyao thought that she might need to use these hard-won talismans, which she had obtained at great risk to protect Ji Qing, and it was a bit heart-wrenching.
In her eyes, it's not just a spell! It's also her blood and sweat, as well as her soulstone!
But when it comes down to it, Lin Qingyao wouldn't be stingy either and didn't even want to use talismans.
Suddenly, a burst of bloody fog rose from where the two bats were perched.
These blood mists condensed but did not disperse, without a single thread escaping that range. Slowly, it seemed like something inside was starting to absorb the blood mist. Once the blood mist had been completely absorbed...
Even Lin Qingyao's eyes widened in surprise, of course... her eyes widened, but she couldn't see anything clearly, this was due to shock.
Without eyes, she still had spiritual awareness, so Lin Qingyao naturally knew what was coming out of the Blood Fog Zizhi Flower.
That's two people.
A man and a woman, with typical European features, deep eye sockets, straight nose bridge, and clear facial contours.
The man was dressed in a European-style courtly men's suit, embroidered with yellow floral patterns. His hair was brown and long, with a slight curvature, and his eyes were no longer the evil red color, but had changed to a deep blue.
His complexion was pale, so pale that it was somewhat wan, standing there, very elegant and refined, if he were to wear women's clothing, he would look like a delicate Western beauty.
If Shao Jingming were here, he would definitely think that enemies meeting is especially eye-catching. This man was the one who disguised himself as a woman and tricked him into going to the costume party where he was later haunted by vampires.
The woman was dressed in a black tight-fitting dress, with blonde hair and green eyes, looking like a stunning modern European woman.
"Damn it, Huaxia cultivator! You actually destroyed the nest I carefully built!" The blonde beauty said with hatred.
Lin Qingyao was already able to hear the golden-haired beauty gritting her teeth from up in the tree.
"Dynia, don't be sad, I've already asked the Rex family to send someone to support us," said the handsome-faced man.
"Betsy's brother, sooner or later, I'll flay that damned Huaxia monk alive!" said the blonde beauty Dinia.
That man named Bessie, with a flicker of his dark blue eyes, had a surging desire and passion in them. He stroked the golden hair of the beauty, then said: "This land is so rich and beautiful, sooner or later it will become the playground of my Rex family!"
Lin Qingyao was getting more and more frightened as she listened, afraid of being discovered.
These two shape-shifting bats should be the Western vampires, right? She didn't have the confidence to defeat these two people. Lin Qingyao didn't know how the Western vampires were classified in terms of strength, but in the Xian Tian realm, a demon beast that could transform was at least at the Yuanying stage!
Embryonic Breath! Now in the entire Huaxia Cultivation Realm, there isn't a single cultivator at the Embryonic Breath stage!
