Chapter 197: Bats
No one hesitated, no one hesitated, everyone present was an adventurer who had experienced countless life and death tests, and their rich adventure experience allowed them to know what to do when and when, so when Pannis shouted the word raising the shield, everyone almost simultaneously raised a wooden shield above their heads, although most people have not been trained in the use of orthodox shields, the posture of raising the shield is very non-standard, if you really face the enemy's attack, the melee attack may be easily picked by the enemy or bypass the shield defense, and the long-range attack will be stabbed by the arrow like a arrow mouse。 Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Info But fortunately, the enemy's attack is not substantial, you only need to raise the wooden shield above your head to protect the only exposed face and neck in the important parts.
There was still no sound, and no force of impact was felt on the shield, but the girls suddenly had a strange feeling, as if something invisible had swept past them, and as if their bodies had passed through an invisible barrier. As for Pannis, after tumbling and leaving the spot, he threw his one-handed sword into the air, gritted his teeth and said viciously, "I have caught you now." ”
It seemed that the first round of attacks had passed, Catherine slightly deflected her shield, revealing one eye and looking in the direction of Pennis's one-handed sword in the air, just a few dozen meters behind the team, a huge creature hung upside down in the canopy, and two shining eyes were staring gloomily at the people in the group.
"Bats?" beside Catherine, Lina couldn't change her inquisitive nature, and couldn't help but poke an eye out from behind her shield to look at the large creature hanging upside down in the canopy of a twenty-meter high.
The priest girl's shouting was not wrong, it was indeed like a bat, a giant bat magnified dozens of times. The giant bat was grayish-black, with a bunch of huge fleshy wings wrapped around its body like a cloak, and a pair of sharp claws grew at the end of its lower limbs, which were much stronger than ordinary bats, and the hook-shaped claws clung tightly to the trunk, leaving several sharp scratches on the trunk. Its head resembles that of a mouse, except that the corners of its grinning mouth reveal two white fangs, the hollow fangs bending slightly forward, and the tips glow with a blood-red light. The only thing that was different from a normal bat was its chest, which had a raised sarcoma that seemed to be filled with gas and fell with its breathing.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a giant bat, because its body length is more than two meters, if it stands upright on the ground, it is much taller than an adult male, and if it is calculated according to the proportion of ordinary bats, the width of its wings is probably close to five meters, it is difficult to imagine how a creature of this size can shuttle and fly in the dense forest.
"Roar~~~" The giant bat suddenly opened its wings, slapped away the long sword thrown by Pannis, and opened its mouth at the same time, a huge roar spit out from its mouth, and the roar expanded several times through the resonance of the air bag on its chest, spreading to all sides like thunder, and the huge sound roared, even the leaves around it were affected, and a large area fell in the loud roar. In the loud roar, the girls couldn't help frowning, the roar not only made the girls' eardrums hurt and their hearts beat faster, but also made them feel that everything around them was spinning, as if they might roar to the next at any time.
There was no need for Pannith to remind, when they saw the giant bat's air sac begin to twitch again, the girls quickly ducked back into the shelter of the wooden shield, and sure enough, there was another huge roar, but this time it was a little different, this time in the roar, the girls felt something pass by again, of course, it wasn't really something that passed, it was just a feeling, like the feeling when the breeze brushed on the cheeks.
This time, the strange attack was accompanied by a roar at the same time, and no one knew how the giant bat attacked with two different sounds, even though it only had one mouth. Of course, there was no need to know this, the roar was not over, Vral threw away the wooden shield directly, and the body of the regiment left the place in a series of tumbles close to the ground, and in the process of rolling, with each roll, a feathered arrow shot out from different angles, and it was hard to imagine how Her Majesty pulled the hunting bow in the midst of the roll of the curled body.
Unlike when Pannis hurriedly threw his one-handed sword, this time the giant bat was clearly unable to deal with Her Majesty's attacks so leisurely. In the mortal world, no creature dares to face Her Majesty's feathered arrows defenselessly, and the giant bat is no exception, so the huge roar abruptly stopped, turned into a piercing scream, the giant bat mouse-like face showed a panicked expression, the feet clutching the branch suddenly let go, and the body fell quickly under the effect of gravity, just avoiding Vrard's shot. Halfway down, the giant bat suddenly unfolded its gray-black fleshy wings again and flew out at an eerie angle, its trajectory erratic, making it difficult to predict where it would be next.
"Hiss, you still want to run after getting into so much trouble?" Alcmene's bulging eyes, the yellow-green vertical pupils shrunk into a slit, habitually swallowing the forked tongue to make a hissing sound, according to a strange rhythm, intermittently threw three throwing spears, and said in a cold voice: "In the eyes of the hunter, any struggle and escape of you is ridiculous, hiss, since you dare to appear in front of us, then be ready to accept death." ”
Despite its massive body, the giant bat flies with great agility, reacting in advance whenever something flies in its path, turning sideways at seemingly impossible angles, allowing Vral's arrows and Alcmene's spears to miss in succession.
However, the two seasoned hunters didn't seem surprised by this, as the biggest trait of bat-like creatures is their amazing ability to evade attacks, so it's only natural for them to miss. The two ladies glanced at each other, smiled and unleashed a coordinated attack together.
Alcmene threw a fourth throwing spear, and Vral fired three more feathered arrows. The High Priest's spear was directed at the path of the giant bat in the air, and the bat let out another sharp cry, and before the spear arrived, it deflected slightly to one side, and dodged the attack with the spear, and continued to escape the sight of the expedition in the same direction. But there is also Her Majesty's arrows, which are not aimed at the giant bat, but at the spear flying in the air, and three feathered arrows hit the tail of the spear in succession, causing the spear to reverse its direction in the air and plunge into the back of the giant bat.
