Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

"Okay." Lu Yuan and Ye Ling'er nodded.

The three of them quickened their pace and ran away.

However, before they ran far, they noticed that more and more vampire bats appeared in the surrounding woods.

These vampire bats, with bloodthirsty light flashing in their eyes, pounced towards the three people...

The dense swarms of vampire bats came like a black tide, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. The stench was overwhelming, and the sharp screams were deafening and made people shudder.

"Damn, so many!" Lu Yuan cursed inwardly and drew out his sword. A faint golden light appeared on the sword.

Zhao Yun's face was solemn, and the silver spear in his hand danced into a silver light, shooting down the approaching vampire bats one by one.

Ye Ling'er hid behind the two men, holding a dagger tightly in her hand, her face pale and trembling.

"Miss Ling'er, don't be afraid, we are here!" Lu Yuan comforted her, even though he was a little scared. This thing looked creepy, not to mention there were so many of them.

Ye Ling'er forced a smile, but the hand holding the dagger tightened even more.

The vampire bats were getting closer and closer, and the three were surrounded, with almost no room to dodge.

"Brother Yun, this is not a solution. We have to find a way to break out!" Lu Yuan shouted as he swung his sword to chop down the bat.

Zhao Yun said in a deep voice: "These beasts are afraid of fire. Do you have any flint or fire stick?"

Lu Yuan slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, how could I forget about this!" He quickly took out a fire starter from his arms, blew it up, and lit a branch.

The flickering flames dispelled some of the darkness around them and also caused the vampire bats to hesitate slightly.

"Rush out now!" Zhao Yun shouted, and his silver spear was like a dragon, opening a bloody path.

Lu Yuan followed closely behind, waving a burning branch to drive back the approaching bats.

Ye Ling'er also plucked up her courage, followed the two of them, and ran desperately.

The three of them fought their way forward and finally broke out of the encirclement of the bats.

However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they found themselves at the edge of a cliff.

Below the cliff is a bottomless abyss, with gusts of cold wind that make people shudder.

"This is bad!" Lu Yuan's face looked grim. There was a cliff in front and bats behind. This was simply a desperate situation!

Zhao Yun looked around, his brows furrowed.

Ye Ling'er was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, her face pale, her lips trembling and she couldn't speak.

"Don't be afraid, Miss Ling'er, we will definitely find a way out!" Lu Yuan comforted her, although he himself was not sure.

At this time, Zhao Yun suddenly pointed to the other side of the cliff and said, "Look, there seems to be a path there!"

Lu Yuan looked in the direction Zhao Yun pointed, and sure enough, he saw a winding path vaguely on the opposite cliff.

"But... this cliff is so wide, how do we get over it?" Lu Yuan asked.

Zhao Yun didn't say anything, but walked to the edge of the cliff and carefully observed the terrain.

Then he walked to a big tree and slapped the trunk hard with his palm.

"Crack!"

With a loud bang, a big tree broke.

Zhao Yun grabbed the broken tree trunk and swung it hard, and the trunk spanned the two sides of the cliff like a bridge.

"Hurry, go over there!" Zhao Yun shouted.

Lu Yuan and Ye Ling'er did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly ran up the tree trunk and ran towards the other side.

Just as they were about to reach the other side, the tree trunk suddenly broke.

"what!"

Ye Ling'er screamed, lost her balance and fell into the abyss.

"Ling'er!"

Lu Yuan was horrified and reached out to grab Ye Ling'er, but his hand was empty. At the critical moment, Zhao Yun flew up and grabbed Ye Ling'er's arm.

"Hold me tight!" Zhao Yun said in a deep voice.

Ye Ling'er clutched Zhao Yun's hand tightly, her face pale and her whole body trembling with fear.

Zhao Yun gritted his teeth and used all his strength to pull Ye Ling'er up.

The three of them reached the other side safely, but they were all terrified.

"Huh...huh..."

Ye Ling'er was breathing heavily, with fear in her eyes.

Lu Yuan was still feeling scared. The scene just now was so thrilling.

"It's okay, Miss Ling'er." Zhao Yun comforted her, "We are safe now."

Ye Ling'er nodded and looked at Zhao Yun gratefully.

"Brother Yun, thank you." Lu Yuan also said.

Zhao Yun waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. Let's think about how to leave here first."

The three of them walked along the path, and after a while they arrived at a cave.

The entrance to the cave was covered with vines, which blocked the entrance and made it impossible to see what was inside.

"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Let's go in and take a look, maybe there are some clues inside." Zhao Yun said.

The three of them pushed aside the vines and walked into the cave.

It was very dark in the cave, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Lu Yuan took out a fire starter from his arms, blew it and lit a branch.

The fire illuminated the cave, and the three of them could see what was inside clearly.

The cave was spacious, the ground was covered with dead leaves, and the air was filled with a damp smell.

Deep in the cave, there is a stone platform with a black box on it.

"What is that?" Ye Ling'er asked, pointing at the box.

"Let's go and take a look." Zhao Yun said.

The three of them walked to the stone platform and looked at the box carefully.

The box is made of an unknown black metal with a surface as smooth as a mirror and no patterns or decorations.

"This box looks weird." Lu Yuan said.

"Do you want to open it and take a look?" Ye Ling'er asked.

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "It's better to be careful. This box might have some trap."

Just then, a rustling sound suddenly came from the cave.

The three of them looked around vigilantly, but found nothing.

The rustling sound was getting closer and closer, as if something was crawling on the ground. Lu Yuan held up a torch and looked around vigilantly. The flickering firelight reflected the strange-shaped rocks on the cave wall, like a demon with bared fangs and claws, adding a bit of horror to the atmosphere.

Suddenly, a huge spider fell from the top of the cave. It was pitch black and hairy, with eight eyes glowing green, which was creepy. It fell to the ground with a dull "dong" sound, and the ground shook slightly.

Ye Ling'er screamed in fear and hid behind Lu Yuan. Zhao Yun drew his sword and took a defensive stance.

Lu Yuan, however, looked calm and even yawned. "That's it? It's just a big spider, what's there to be afraid of?" His tone was full of disdain. He was invincible and didn't take the spider seriously at all.

The spider seemed to sense Lu Yuan's contempt, and it let out a hissing sound and pounced on Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan was too lazy to dodge, but just casually stretched out a hand and grabbed the spider's head.

With a "crack", the spider's head was crushed and green liquid splashed on Lu Yuan's hand.

Lu Yuan shook his hands in disgust, "How disgusting." (End of this chapter)
