Chapter 44: Good performance, my sister has a reward

An overwhelming number of bats in this group created a pitch-black mass that obscured the sky above the valley. Su Xiaoyue was deeply shaken, as she had never encountered such a menacing sight before. She felt nervous and frightened, her breathing heavy. She looked away, but from the corner of her eye, she noticed Blood Rose and Su Wanyan’s faces were also ashen. All three wished they could hide deeper, fearing the countless menacing creatures might discover them.

At that moment, an unexpected development occurred outside. Some bats within the dark cloud suddenly turned and rushed downward like hailstones, heading towards the burning flames. They collided with the ground, shattering into pieces.

Filthy blood splashed, and the countless bats in the sky suddenly turned their eyes blood-red, diving towards the blood and flames. However, the bats that followed seemed indifferent to the fate of their fallen comrades and continued their relentless assault.

Before long, the large fire ignited by the dried grass was entirely extinguished. Still, the ground was covered with a pile of bat corpses nearly half a person’s height. The bats had continued their frenzied assault for an unknown duration before finally stopping. Only then did Su Xiaoyue and the others notice that their clothes had become drenched in cold sweat without their awareness.

“Is it… over?” Su Xiaoyue asked cautiously, her body still trembling.

“It’s just the beginning,” Gu Liuyun replied, noticing her trembling and gently holding her hand.

As expected, shortly after Gu Liuyun spoke, another change occurred outside. The blood from the countless bat corpses on the ground started gathering, gradually forming a blood pool. The blood pool churned, seemingly alive, devouring all the bat carcasses on the ground and raising numerous blood-red claws. It captured the remaining bats in the sky, dragging them into the blood pool. Eventually, after all the bats had been devoured, the blood pool calmed down, emitting a faint blood-colored glow.

“It’s over,” Gu Liuyun said gently, then stepped out of the gap between the boulders and approached the blood pool.

The three women, still shaken, finally breathed a sigh of relief and followed him out.

“Xiaoyun, what just happened?” Su Wanyan asked, her voice trembling.

“Yes, what’s going on? Why did those bats go crazy and commit suicide? Why did the blood form a pool and..,” Su Xiaoyue questioned him.

Blood Rose also wore an inquisitive expression, but since Su Wanyan and Su Xiaoyue had already asked, she remained silent.

“You see, this is the entrance to the Blood Bat Ancient Cave. We need to use the bat blood from the valley to find it. When enough blood accumulates, the entrance will appear,” Gu Liuyun explained, pointing at the blood pool.

The three women gazed at the blood pool, recalling the horrifying scene from earlier, making their faces pale again.

“But why did those bats commit suicide?” Blood Rose inquired.

“Normally, to collect bat blood, you’d have to find a way to kill them, but that can be time-consuming, risky, and laborious. The method I used is a more efficient trick that takes advantage of the bats’ tendency to dive into a fire and go mad when they see blood,” Gu Liuyun explained to their curious expressions.

“Why do you know so much about the secret realm on the first day it opened?” Su Xiaoyue asked, tugging Gu Liuyun’s arm. “Do you have a secret? Tell me!”

Gu Liuyun playfully flicked her forehead with his finger and said, “You catch on fast. Let me tell you: you should respect the guardians of the secret realm teleportation formations and try to build a good relationship with them.”

“Are you saying that the old guardian in White Emperor City told you all of this?” Su Wanyan asked in surprise.

Gu Liuyun nodded and said, “Yes, this way, we can save a lot of time.”

The method of using fire to attract bats and blood to drive them mad was obtained by a player from the previous life from the old monk who guarded the formation. That player developed a good relationship with the monk, and the monk revealed the secret after gaining favor.

Although Gu Liuyun didn’t build a strong bond with the old monk in this life, he had the memory of the previous life, so he knew this trick well and decided to use it. Of course, he couldn’t reveal the real source of this knowledge, so he had to claim he got the information from the old monk who guarded the formation.

Su Wanyan was extremely pleased and admired Gu Liuyun, thinking that recruiting him into the guild was a wise decision. She took a few steps closer and whispered in his ear, “You did well. I’ll reward you once we’re offline.”
