Hearing Qinchuan's words, Niu Ba immediately stopped. The others also looked at Qinchuan, using their gazes to ask what was going on with Qinchuan.
Qinchuan vigilantly looked around and said to everyone, "It's a type of creature that moves very quickly and is also very agile. They have meter-long wings and look a bit like bats."
Hearing Qinchuan's words, Wu Hui seemed to have thought of something. His face suddenly became incomparably gloomy, "I know, it must be the Ghost Bats!"
Ghost Bats!
Everyone was shocked when they heard Wu Hui's words. According to legends, the Ghost Bats were ghosts of the night. They killed people without leaving a trace. Could it be that those people who disappeared were all killed by the Ghost Bats?
"It must be the Ghost Bats. I just felt that it was strange, how could these shadows be so fast!" Niu Ba looked at Qinchuan and asked, "Qinchuan, do you have any good suggestions?"
Qinchuan didn't answer Niu Ba's question. Instead, he turned his head to look at Wu Hui and said, "You are the leader of the team. What do you think?"
Hearing Qinchuan's words, everyone was slightly stunned. Then, their gazes towards Qinchuan and Wu Hui suddenly became somewhat subtle. Because Qinchuan's performance was too outstanding during the day, in addition to the fact that Qinchuan was the first to sense the existence of danger, they had unknowingly already regarded Qinchuan as the core of the team. They would first consider Qinchuan's suggestion when there was a problem, and actually neglected their original leader, Wu Hui. Now that Qinchuan mentioned it, everyone felt a little strange.
Wu Hui looked deeply at Qinchuan and said, "According to my understanding, the Ghost Bats are a type of creature that exists in the form of ghosts. Ordinary attacks can't harm them. Only special methods of attack can harm them, such as fire, light, or lightning."
The flame, light, and thunder mentioned by No Regrets were all powers that had the effect of exorcism. Coincidentally, No Regrets's innate rune was of the fire attribute, while Bullhead's innate rune was of the rarer light attribute.
Qinchuan nodded and said, "I can also use Elemental Battle Formations."
"With this, our strength will be enough to deal with the Ghost Bats."
Wu Hui looked around and said with some doubt, "But I don't understand. Why are these Ghost Bats hovering around and not attacking us?"
Ah Xie glanced at the ground beneath his feet and said, "Could it be that there's some sort of treasure beneath our feet?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Ah Xie's words. Soon after, they burst into laughter. They felt that Ah Xie had gone crazy over the treasures.
However, Qin Chuan didn't think so. He lowered his head and looked at the ground beneath his feet. "Maybe there really is a treasure."
When everyone heard Qinchuan's words, the smiles on their faces froze. Was there really a treasure?
"What did you find out?"
Ah Mei looked at Qinchuan expectantly. She looked as if she would dig three feet into the ground as soon as Qinchuan gave the order.
Qinchuan grabbed a handful of soil from the ground and rubbed it lightly. Then, he said to everyone, "I suspect that this grassland is not an ordinary grassland. It's the graveyard of some ancient ferocious beast!"
Niu Ba was shocked when he heard Qinchuan's words. "You mean to say that there are remains of ancient ferocious beasts underground?"
Qinchuan nodded and said, "This is only a guess of mine. I can't be sure.
However, if there really is another ancient ferocious beast's remains beneath our feet, then these Ghost Bats must be afraid of attacking us because of this ancient ferocious beast's remains.
The reason why Ah Xie was not attacked when he was exploring outside is probably because he was tainted with the aura of the ancient ferocious beast's remains! "
The reason why Qinchuan had such a guess was not because he was blindly guessing. It was because the little armored dragon had already gone deep underground and was gnawing on the remains of an ancient ferocious beast!
In fact, Qin Chuan had already found out about the remains of an ancient ferocious beast from the little armored dragon during the day before he had dealt with the ant colony. It was also because of this that he had expended so much effort to deal with the ant colony and take away the remains of the ancient ferocious beast.
At that time, the little armored dragon had expressed its desire for the ancient ferocious beast's remains. However, because he still had to split the loot with Wu Huan and the others, Qinchuan did not let the little armored dragon touch the ancient ferocious beast's remains for the time being. The little armored dragon was very dissatisfied with this. When everyone came here, the little armored dragon became excited again and clearly told Qinchuan that the ancient ferocious beast's remains still existed here!
It was also because of this that Qinchuan guessed that this was the graveyard of some ancient ferocious beast.
At this time, the little armored dragon had already gnawed on the essence of the ancient ferocious beast's remains. Therefore, Qinchuan had no need to keep this a secret and frankly shared it with everyone.
"Whether Lü Chuan's guess is right or not, we'll know once we dig it up and take a look!"
Niu Ba was the most excited. He punched the ground and smashed a deep pit about one meter in radius. With the appearance of the deep pit, the aura of the ancient ferocious beast that was buried underground suddenly leaked out. When he saw the broken bones in the deep pit, Niu Ba laughed loudly and said, "It really is the remains of another ancient ferocious beast!"
Hearing Niu Ba's words, Ah Mei immediately took a look and said to Niu Ba, "You idiot, you've smashed the ancient ferocious beast's remains with that punch!"
At this moment, Qinchuan's expression suddenly changed. He said to everyone, "Oh no, the aura of the ancient ferocious beast's remains is disappearing. Once it completely disappears, these ghost bats will definitely attack us!"
Hearing Qinchuan's words, everyone subconsciously sensed the ancient ferocious beast's remains. As expected, they found that the aura of the ancient ferocious beast's remains was disappearing!
"You idiot!"
Ah Mei glared at Niu Ba. She thought that Niu Ba's punch had dispelled the aura of the ancient ferocious beast's remains.
Niu Ba looked at Ah Mei with some grievance. He did not expect that his punch could actually shatter the ancient ferocious beast's remains. This did not make sense.
In fact, Qinchuan knew that this matter could not be blamed on Niu Ba. The reason why the aura of the ancient ferocious beast's remains had disappeared was because the little armored dragon had devoured all the essence of the ancient ferocious beast's remains. Otherwise, the ancient ferocious beast's remains would not have become so fragile and be shattered by a simple punch.
"We have three minutes at most!"
Wu Heng looked around with a serious expression. At this moment, more and more ghost bats had gathered around them. With a rough count, there were at least close to a hundred of them!
Qinchuan looked at Wu Heng with a serious gaze and said to everyone, "Instead of sitting here and waiting for death, why don't we take the initiative to attack? We'll be the first to break out of the encirclement and see if we can find another ancient ferocious beast's remains to avoid these ghost bats!"
There were many ghost bats and they were powerful. It was unrealistic for them to kill all of them. The best choice was to break out of the encirclement and find another ancient ferocious beast's remains!
