Chapter 112, A Sudden Change
The "dual-shooters" were naturally the main attack force; their powerful firepower could effectively kill the bats that kept pouring out of the statue's mouth, creating opportunities for them to get closer to the statue. As for the remaining plants, Lin Yue inspected all the plants twice and had a good idea of what to expect.
Lin Yue deftly arranged all the plants in their ideal positions, then slowly took two steps forward. What followed unfolded like a movie, according to her thoughts:
Lin Yue's body was exposed to two bright beams of light.
Almost simultaneously, the stone statue seemed to be awakened, its mouth slowly opening—
A group of bats swarmed out with claws and teeth.
Immediately afterwards, as if they had received a special mission, the two bats flew straight toward the eyes of the statue and landed in the same spot as before.
"Puff puff puff puff————"
A burst of rapid, rhythmic firing followed, and the two "dual-gunners," who had been waiting in full battle array, began their work.
Pea bullets rained down on the swarm of bats, and one by one they fell to the ground. Almost none of them made it halfway down. In the blink of an eye, a layer of bat corpses piled up on the ground.
Lin Yue slowly approached the stone statue step by step...
near,
Closer,
Lin Yue took each step very steadily. Because she was so focused, she could even clearly see the mysterious and ancient patterns on the face of the stone statue.
When she had gone halfway, the bats seemed to have discovered her purpose. As if threatened, the number of bats pouring out of the statue's mouth suddenly increased.
Most of the bats began to change their flight direction, flying diagonally downwards after emerging from their mouths, their target Lin Yue.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Lin Yue took cautious steps, constantly calculating the distance in her mind.
The bats around the statue's mouth surged even faster, almost rolling out in clumps. "Dual Shooter" seemed to be struggling, only able to eliminate about half of the bats around the statue's mouth. The remaining half rushed straight at Lin Yue.
Fortunately, they were shot down one by one as they flew toward Lin Yue, and so far they have not been able to cause any harm to Lin Yue.
Four steps, five steps, six steps...
As Lin Yue drew closer to the stone statue, the "Dual Shooter" could no longer completely eliminate the bats that flew towards her. Lin Yue, wielding a dagger, began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the bats. The sounds of the blade piercing flesh, the bats' screams, and the flapping of their wings mingled together, creating a scene that surprisingly possessed a sense of heroic intensity.
Seven steps, eight steps...
More and more bats appeared in front of Lin Yue, frantically swarming and biting at her. Bloody welts began to appear on Lin Yue's arms, hands, and face, and a burning pain throbbed through her, yet Lin Yue's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Eleven, twelve!
It's now!
Upon seeing the two bats blocking the statue's eyes join the fray, a large purple flower suddenly appeared in Lin Yue's previously empty hand. The "man-eating flower" opened its maw, filled with sharp teeth, and in one swift motion, all twelve bats were wiped out. Lin Yue's view suddenly became empty! A brief gap appeared.
"Shh!"
With Lin Yue on its wings, the Sky Wing shot straight toward the statue's left eye like an arrow.
With a single, precise stroke, he sliced a charging bat in two.
With another stab, Lin Yue used all her strength to thrust the knife straight into the statue's enormous eye!
"Crack—" A crisp breaking sound rang out. In that instant, the light in the statue's left eye suddenly went out, and the entire statue began to shake violently.
The swarm of bats that had been attacking frantically suddenly stopped, as if controlled by some force. After circling in the air a few times, they all fell to the ground, and the entire cave fell silent instantly.
Just then, the statue's mouth suddenly opened up again, and bright light slowly shone through the previously tightly closed darkness, growing stronger and brighter!
Lin Yue landed lightly, her gaze fixed on the light-transmitting area. It wasn't until a few seconds later that she finally saw clearly that deep inside the stone statue's mouth, there seemed to be a door!
The outline of the door was somewhat blurred in the light, yet it exuded a subtle allure. Lin Yue thought to herself, "This must be the path to the next level."
While waiting for the stone statue's mouth to open wider, Lin Yue quickly collected the layers of bat carcasses piled up around her.
Just as she finally cleared away all the bats in the vicinity, the statue's mouth opened to a height large enough for a person to enter.
Lin Yue took a deep breath and stepped towards the door full of unknowns.
However, before she could finish exhaling, a figure suddenly emerged from the darkness like a ghost, rushing straight towards the statue's mouth like lightning.
Anyone? ! !
Lin Yue was shocked. She had been in the cave for so long and had never noticed that there was a second person inside.
Seeing that the person had already reached the mouth of the stone statue, Lin Yue's eyes sharpened, and she quickly spread her wings and rushed up.
As she flew swiftly, she took out a magpie feather dart from her bracelet backpack and shot it straight at the man's back.
Want to reap the rewards? Don't you even know if you're destined for it?
If Lin Yue weren't currently low on energy and the "man-eating flower" wasn't still digesting, she would definitely have unleashed the large purple flower to bite people in her rage.
The sound of a dart piercing flesh rang out, followed by a spurt of blood gushing from the back of the person in front.
The vivid red color was particularly glaring under the light, and a bloody stench instantly filled the air. The man stumbled, his body swaying slightly.
But he showed no intention of turning back; instead, he sped up even more and rushed toward the door without regard for anything else.
Skywing's speed was like a whirlwind, naturally much faster than ordinary footsteps. Even though the person was not far from the stone statue, under Lin Yue's all-out pursuit, the distance between them was rapidly shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Just before he was about to enter the mouth of the stone statue, Lin Yue took advantage of the wind and grabbed the man by the collar.
Immediately afterwards, she lifted the man up with all her might, causing his feet to leave the ground and his body to suddenly float in the air.
Suddenly losing his footing, the man panicked. He seemed to realize that he was about to fail. He endured the sharp pain in his back, pulled out the Sparrow Feather Dart, and tried to shoot it at Lin Yue.
