Chapter 131 Stone Hall Giant Bat Five Realm Strange Beast
Nie Jingnian said, "I've searched here more than once, but I haven't found anything."

Zhao Ya didn't speak.

In fact, he had expected this result a long time ago. Since even the important markers and peaks were drawn so obscurely, the orientation on the map is very likely to be wrong.

He thought for a moment, and then asked: "Where are the mountains in the direction of the four corners of the county?"

"Mountains? There are both northeast and northwest corners. The northeast corner is the extension of Wanshou Mountain, and the northwest corner is connected to the Wuxiang Mountain Range. It is the largest mountain system in Yunxiao County."

After a month of exploration, Nie Jingnian already knew the geography around the county city like the back of his hand.

"Go to the northeast corner first."

If the map orientation is upside down, then the northeast corner is the most likely one.

Nie Jingnian had no objection.

The two shuttled through the forest.

At the beginning, Nie Jingnian deliberately slowed down, worried that Zhao Ya would not be able to catch up.

But when he started running, Nie Jingnian was very surprised to find that Zhao Ya's speed was not slower than himself at all.

Even when walking through the mountains and forests, he was a little faster than himself.

This success aroused Nie Jingnian's competitive spirit.

He tightened his feet and unleashed all the strength of the four realms, just to see if Zhao Ya could still catch up.

But after running for a few minutes, Nie Jingnian found that Zhao Ya had been following behind him unhurriedly, without any signs of struggling at all.

It was only then that Nie Jingnian realized that he was no match for Zhao Ya in terms of speed alone.

He was straightforward, and then he gave up the idea of ​​deciding whether to be superior or inferior, and slowed down a little.

In this way, the two soon came to the northeast corner of the county.

Sure enough, there are several mountain peaks erected here, but none of them are high, and they belong to the remnants of Wanshou Mountain.

Zhao Ya and Nie Jingnian stopped in their tracks.

Zhao Ya took out the map and looked it over carefully, pondered for a moment, and pointed to a certain mountain in it.

"Look around here first!"

Nie Jingnian had no objection, and the two of them, one in front of the other, disappeared into the mountains.

Not long after the two of them entered, the forest rustled, the vegetation shook for a while, and then a group of people and horses appeared at the foot of the mountain.

The leader was dressed in a black dress, revealing a slender and attractive figure, with her hair coiled up high, revealing a bright cheek underneath, she was actually a woman.

She looked up at the mountain in front of her.

"Are you sure it's here?"

"Reporting to Miss, according to the information provided by the person who knows, this is the right place." Someone behind said respectfully.

"Okay, then go into the mountain."

The woman was very straightforward, and with a wave of her hand, the team also entered the mountain.

At this time Zhao Ya and Nie Jingnian were trekking in the mountains.

Although the mountains here are not steep, it is not easy to find a crypt in this vast mountain forest.

Fortunately, Zhao Ya and Nie Jingnian were not in a hurry, but slowly searched one mountain after another.

At this time, the sun was shining, Zhao Ya and Nie Jingnian stopped by a stream, took out the dry food they carried with them, and had a simple lunch with the stream water.

After eating, Zhao Ya jumped onto a big tree and carefully observed the surrounding situation.

"How about it?"

When Zhao Ya fell back to the ground, Nie Jingnian asked immediately.

"There are a total of seven peaks here. We have checked four of them in the morning, and the remaining three form horns. I feel that the crypt is the most likely among them."

When Nie Jingnian heard this, his spirits lifted.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go now."

Zhao Ya didn't leave in a hurry, but turned around and glanced at the mountain road when he came here with some doubts.

"what happened?"

"fine."

Zhao Ya shook his head to dispel the doubts in his heart, and then led Nie Jingnian away from the creek and entered the three mountain peaks.

Not long after they left, the woman arrived with her people.

"Miss, someone stayed here just now." Someone reported after checking by the stream.

The woman was unmoved, "Before we caught this insider, he had already sold several maps, so it's not surprising that someone followed him. If it gets in the way, just kill him."

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

………….

If you look down at these three peaks in the air, you will find that they form a standard triangle.

In the middle is a depression, where lush forests grow and few people visit.

Zhao Ya and Nie Jingnian quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests, and soon reached the central area.

There is actually a small temple standing here, but it has been in disrepair for a long time and has long been abandoned.

When Zhao Ya and Nie Jingnian entered the temple, they saw that half of the main hall had collapsed, and even the heads of the statues on the shrines were gone.

The small temple is not big, and the two quickly inspected it, but found nothing.

"Are you sure it's here?" Nie Jingnian asked.

"No mistake, who would build a temple in such a place with nothing to do, so there must be something strange here."

As he spoke, Zhao Ya jumped up to the altar, and toppled the clay statue.

as predicted.

A deep hole appeared under the statue.

Nie Jingnian couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw this.

"found it!"

"Well, wait first before going in."

After saying that, Zhao Ya jumped down from the shrine, and made some arrangements at the temple gate and its surroundings.

"go!"

The two lit the torches, and after entering the cave, they walked along a winding downward slope.

It was cramped at the beginning, but it became more and more spacious as you walked in, and it was enough to accommodate a carriage in the end.

At the same time, Zhao Ya also noticed that the air here is fresh, and there is a humid wind blowing from time to time, obviously there is a connection with the outside world.

Not long after, they came to a spacious stone hall, but the smell here was not so good, there was a pungent fishy smell in the air.

Looking down at the feet, the ground is covered with gray and white feces.

"This is..." Nie Jingnian was about to speak.

Zhao Ya raised his finger to signal him to keep silent, and then pointed to his head.

Nie Jingnian looked up, and saw that the stone dome above his head was densely packed with bats.

Against the backdrop of the light, the eyes of these bats all glowed red, and when they gathered together, it was as if a red carpet had been laid on the stone wall.

Nie Jingnian's scalp felt numb from looking at it.

These bats are obviously also alienated. Although the bats are not big, there are too many of them.

Nie Jingnian lifted his spirits and followed Zhao Ya slowly into the room.

Before he knew it, Nie Jingnian had subconsciously focused on Zhao Ya and obeyed his orders in every move.

The stone hall was extremely long, and the two of them walked for three to four minutes, but still did not leave this area.

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew in front of them, blowing out the torches in the hands of Zhao Ya and Nie Jingnian with a puff.

At the same time, the stone hall was shrouded in a strange red light, and the bats seemed to become very excited, leaving the stone wall and flying around.

This sudden turn of events made Zhao Ya's expression change, but both of them were martial artists who had practiced for many years, so they quickly calmed down.

Zhao Ya saw a raised earth slope next to him, so he bent over and rushed to cover his whereabouts.

At the same time, Nie Jingnian also followed, and said in a low voice in astonishment.

"Fuck, what the hell is that?"

Zhao Ya raised his eyes and felt a chill down his spine.

I saw a bat that was so huge that it looked like a bull flew to the stone hall, and then hung upside down on the stone wall.

Those little bats kept flying around it, making hoarse and ugly calls from time to time, the whole picture was extremely weird.

But what shocked Zhao Ya the most was the sense of oppression that this giant bat brought to him.

It was a breathless coercion.

Even Lu Dingtai didn't have this feeling.

Five realms!

This is at least a strange beast with the strength of five realms.

Zhao Ya gasped, and almost blurted out a sentence.

Nie Jingnian naturally also noticed the power of this bat, and his face was also very ugly.

He thought that as long as he found the crypt, the Zerg would be easy to catch, but he never expected to meet such a giant bat.

At this moment, he was in no mood, and just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.

But Zhao Ya didn't leave.

He observed carefully, and found that when the little bats were flying around the big bat, they would fly close to them from time to time, devouring something from the big bat, and even scrambled for it.

At this time, Zhao Ya had gradually adapted to the dim environment in the stone hall, and with his eyesight enough to look around, he finally saw clearly what the little bats were fighting for.

Those were insect eggs the size of quail eggs, attached to the body of this giant bat.

Zhao Ya finally realized suddenly.

From the feces on the ground, it can be seen that the giant bat and these small bats should not have lived in the stone hall for a long time.

They were most likely attracted by the Zerg in this crypt.

After all, Zerg eggs are not only useful to warriors, but also a rare delicacy for these alien beasts.

This also explained why there was a strange beast with the strength of the five realms next to the county city.

But the question is where did they come from?
These peaks are just the remnants of Wanshou Mountain, which are thousands of miles away from the hinterland.

How did they get there?

A big question mark rose in Zhao Ya's heart, but this is not the time to be entangled in these things.

At this moment, it was impossible to go back, so he could only temporarily bury his doubts in his heart, and made a gesture with Nie Jingnian, which meant that we should continue to move forward.

Nie Jingnian hesitated for a moment, but he could see that Zhao Ya had already bent over and walked into the depths of the stone hall, so he also followed.

On the road, the two of them didn't even dare to light the torches, and proceeded extremely cautiously.

Finally, after walking for another five or six minutes, a downward road appeared ahead, and the sound of gurgling water could be heard vaguely.

The two were refreshed and couldn't help speeding up.

But just as they were about to enter the passage, a gust of wind suddenly hit from behind.

Zhao Ya knew something was wrong, stepped on his feet, and rushed forward with a vertical leap.

The same goes for Nie Jingnian.

With all their strength, the two of them rushed towards the passage like arrows flying off the string.

But the wind was extremely fast, Zhao Ya felt a huge force hit his back while he was in the air.

Zhao Ya thrust forward suddenly, Qinggong and body skills were running crazily, trying his best to remove the huge force that hit him.

But even so, he was smashed and turned several times in the air before staggering to the ground.

Then Zhao Ya felt his back was burning, and his breathing was slightly difficult.

Only then did Zhao Ya see clearly what was hitting him.

It turned out to be just a piece of gravel.

The giant bat didn't even move its place, just fanning a piece of gravel with its wings casually has such power.

If Zhao Ya hadn't been wearing a precious armor, this blow would have seriously injured him.

Fortunately, he was out of danger for the time being.

Zhao Ya looked back and saw Nie Jingnian squatting not far behind him, he couldn't help asking softly, "Senior Brother Nie, how are you?"

"Ahem, don't worry, I won't die for the time being!"

As he spoke, Nie Jingnian took out something from his chest and threw it on the ground.

It was a sunken iron plate with a stone inlaid on it, and it was almost going through.

Nie Jingnian was still in shock, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Damn it, this beast is really powerful. Shall we move on?"

"Well, we have already come here, and it is impossible to go back. I guess the Zerg should be in front."

Zhao Ya discovered that the giant bat attacked the two of them out of instinct, and it entered a state of doze after returning to the stone hall.

This is a good opportunity.

As long as you hurry up, the two of you can take the opportunity to leave after getting the Zerg.

Continue down this road and soon come to a corner.

After turning around, the eyes suddenly opened up.

An underground river appeared in front of him, and on the stone wall beside the river, there were many bright spots of light.

Those are the eggs.

And among these eggs, there is a female insect that is more than a foot long and has a body as white as jade.

Both Zhao Ya and Nie Jingnian showed surprise on their faces.

This is actually an adult female worm, and it looks like it is still in its prime, with at least three or four years of lifespan left.

Just such an adult insect is worth tens of thousands of taels of gold, and there is no market for it.

Zhao Ya and Nie Jingnian didn't dare to delay, they took out the box prepared in advance, which contained the bait that the Zerg worms like to eat, and placed it near the female worm.

Just after laying a wave of eggs, the female worm who was lazily lying there smelled the fragrance and raised her body to have a look.

Zhao Ya and Nie Jingnian had already hid behind a rock in the distance to observe.

This is the way to catch this zerg.

If you reach out and grab it by force, it is likely to frighten the female insect, resulting in a shortened lifespan and reduced production.

Fortunately, there were no surprises this time.

The female worm slowly crawled into the box after observing it with her head and head shrunk.

As soon as he entered, Zhao Ya rushed forward with a vertical leap, tapped the lid of the box lightly, and let out a long breath.

"It's done!"

Nie Jingnian was also full of excitement.

With this Zerg, not only will the future blood supply be replenished, but some can even be sold to subsidize cultivation.

Nie Jingnian was even more embarrassed than Zhao Ya.

Otherwise, he would not have thought of catching that jade butterfly to make money.

Zhao Ya was also very happy.

Although the eggs produced by this zerg do not contain as much energy and blood as dried meat, they are of high quality and are suitable for Zhao Ya's current use.

In particular, the output ratio is very high, and eggs can be obtained by feeding bait regularly, which is extremely convenient.

"Let's go, get out of here before the giant bat notices," Zhao Ya said.

The two hurried back.

But just halfway through, he suddenly heard a roar from the stone hall in front of him, and even the entire passage trembled endlessly.

The two were shocked, and after looking at each other, they quietly sneaked closer.

Then the two saw a shocking scene.

I saw a team of men in black holding a huge net, trying to catch the giant bat.

A woman stood aside, holding a long sword, looking at it coldly, and would suddenly draw the sword from time to time to repel the giant bats that were trying to break out.

The pupils of both of them shrank.

Because the strength shown by this woman is extremely strong, at least at the same level as Lu Dingtai and Nie Jingnian's master.

In other words, he is at least a half-step five-level martial artist.
