Confucianism under Heaven

Chapter 518 Blood Bats

Chapter 518 Blood Bat

The attack landed, and an explosion resounded throughout the area. Then, the gray mist gradually dissipated, finally revealing a black hole.

This black hole is extremely deep and filled with a sense of mystery.

Countless people exchanged glances for a moment, then burst into the room with burning desire.

However, just as Shi Tian and the others were about to go in, Ye Ru suddenly stopped them, and a serious expression appeared on his face:

"Wait, this isn't the exit."

As soon as the words were spoken, after the scholars entered the black hole, the black hole suddenly became extremely distorted, and finally countless red vampire bats burst out of the black hole.

This scene shocked everyone present, and the scholars, unable to dodge in time, were completely devoured by the vampire bats, leaving no trace of their flesh and blood.

"Oh no! Everyone, quickly eliminate them!"

Seeing the blood bats that wiped out the scholars in an instant, Kong Ling's face turned solemn, and then she shouted sharply.

He hadn't expected that this sacred road would be so dangerous.

I haven't even fully entered the holy path yet, and I've already encountered this situation, and it's quite dangerous!

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his brush again, countless streams of ink shooting out from the tip, finally striking the blood bats precisely. In an instant, the blood bats exploded, and countless demon eggs appeared in the blood. These demon eggs grew extremely fast, their bodies swelling up almost instantly after consuming the scholar's blood.

"This is how to do."

With a look of horror on his face, Kong Ling's eyes widened. The growth rate of these blood bats had exceeded their expectations.

"What on earth are these things? How can they be so powerful?"

Holding the volcanic stone zither, Shi Tian wore a solemn expression. With an attack like this, he feared that his entire force would be wiped out in no time.

"Don't panic. Use your strongest verses to create flames and burn them all to death. These bats all have eggs inside them. Once we burn all the eggs, our danger will be over."

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Ru raised his head and spoke.

"it is good."

Kong Ling closed his eyes, gripped the Spring and Autumn Annals Pen tightly in his hand, and began to write continuously.

After a moment, a flame suddenly emerged from the Xuan paper, and then spread outwards like ripples.

The scorching flames touched the blood bats, causing them to hiss and then instantly turn to ashes.

Seeing this, the remaining scholars also began to write their favorite war poems.

In just a moment, the area was engulfed in a sea of ​​fire, and the rampaging blood bats began to decrease in number, eventually retreating back into the black hole.

As the last bat retreated back into the black hole, the distorted black hole slowly shrank and finally disappeared completely.

Seeing the black hole disappear, Ye Ru secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This place was far too dangerous; they had encountered so many dangers even before entering the Holy Road.

"Are you okay?"

Looking at Kong Ling and Shi Tian, ​​Ye Ru said in a deep voice.

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect it to be so dangerous here."

Shaking his head, Shi Tian and Kong Ling spoke slowly.

When they saw the scholars around them, now just skeletons, they couldn't help but gasp in horror.

These scholars were the elite of their Jin state, but they turned into a pile of bones before they even entered the sacred path.

Be careful.

However, just as Ye Ru finished speaking, another passage appeared in front of them.

This passage is much purer than the previous black hole, and it also contains powerful holy energy.

"This must be real now, right?"

A scholar said cautiously that after what had happened, they dared not act rashly again, and all their eyes were fixed on Ye Ru, as if Ye Ru was the only leader here.

"It's true."

At this moment, a young man in black stepped out from the crowd. After glancing at Ye Ru, he leaped into the passage.

Being stared at by the young man in black, Ye Ru felt a chill run down his spine. He then lowered his head and asked:

"Who is this person?"

"I didn't expect him to come too."

Kong Ling took a deep breath, a hint of apprehension in her eyes, and then spoke again:

"This person is the number one genius in our Jin state, and also the top scholar. He once won first place in the scholar's literary gathering. His talent is more than ten times greater than mine."

"Moreover, he was quite ruthless towards others. It is said that during the scholar's gathering, without exception, all those who fought with him had their books smashed."

These words made Ye Ru's eyes widen in disbelief:

"Isn't he a citizen of your Jin state?"

"No, to be specific, not entirely. This person migrated from abroad. Due to his outstanding talent, he was granted citizenship by the National Academy, so he became a citizen of our Jin Kingdom."

'Although he was highly talented, he was also very ruthless. However, with a deeper understanding, it was discovered that he had considerable power behind him.'

After a moment of contemplation, Kong Ling continued in a deep voice, his expression growing increasingly wary.

"The forces behind it."

Ye Ru rubbed his hands together, his mind racing, trying to figure out what this power was that could make even the members of the various holy families wary of it.

Moreover, it is the family of Confucius, which ranks first among aristocratic families.

After seeing that Bei Ming jumped in unharmed, the people around him felt reassured and jumped in as well.

Before long, there weren't many people left.

"Let's go too."

Ye Ru nodded, and then spoke again.

After obtaining everyone's consent, Ye Ru and the other two jumped down and disappeared from the spot.

This is a dense forest, its lush greenery flowing like ocean waves, resembling a paradise on earth.

In the tranquil dense forest, at a certain moment, several startled birds suddenly flew away, and below, an energy fluctuation appeared, from which a figure stepped out.

Sunlight shone on the figure, revealing a rather youthful yet sharp face.

"I didn't expect this Holy Road to be so big, and it seems we've gotten separated from Shi Tian and the others."

It was Ye Ru who came out. Ye Ru looked around and his face became more solemn.

It was so quiet here that he became more wary.

After what had happened before, he no longer believed that this holy road was a place of faith for good people.

"She certainly has a lot of talent."

Taking a deep breath, Ye Ru looked around.

This is a treasure-hunting land, and the treasure vault will only be open for five days. In other words, how much treasure one can obtain within these five days depends on one's luck.
