(Part 1) He saw them coming from the waterfall area, swarms of blue bats flying over, flapping their wings viciously.

Upon seeing this, everyone dared not hesitate there any longer.

Recalling the way the Ghost King had died, they were all tremendously frightened, as those bats must be secreting some kind of fluid, which was why they were so fearsome, so they absolutely couldn’t let the bats bite them.

Ahead were a cliff and a waterfall; now the only way left was the way they had come from—the Forest of Death.

“Move quickly!” the Ghost King shouted, then he grabbed Xia Yuqing and ran toward the Forest of Death.

“Behave, or I’ll kill you right now!”

In fact, Xia Yuqing was quite beautiful, and the Ghost King had more than just a bit of interest in his heart; he harbored other thoughts as well.

Tang Zhong had no time to look at those bats.

He saw Xia Yuqing being taken by the Ghost King and immediately followed, “Let him go!”

The Ghost King, hearing Tang Zhong’s voice, burst out laughing, “And you, following me too, I still want to see you kneeling down!”

But at that moment, the swarm of bats rushed over and saw the bodies of their own kind, which incited them into further frenzy.

They opened their mouths, revealing sharp fangs.

A large group of people started screaming and began to flee.

Those who ran at the back, slower, looked back and saw the bats were about to catch up, screaming even louder, “Save me, save me quickly!”

But the bats were faster; one bit a man’s neck, and a large group of bats lifted him from the ground into the air, despite his continuous struggling, which was futile.

The bats began to suck blood.

The blue bats, after feeding, changed color to red, and the person being drained turned into a mummy.

Once drained of blood, the bats released their mouths, and the mummy fell to the ground, shattering into pieces upon impact.

Then the bats flew toward another person.

Seeing someone turned into a mummy sent others fleeing in even greater panic.

“I don’t want to die!”

“Damn, why are there so many damn things!”

The bats didn’t care whether their prey was from Nether or Dragon, as long as they were human, they sucked blood.

A dozen people had their blood sucked by the bats.

Tang Zhong followed the Ghost King, holding a Dragon Spear, waiting for his chance.

Now, in this chaos, was the best opportunity to save his tiger mother.

The Ghost King, while glancing back at the bats, led Xia Yuqing away in a very panicked manner.

“Damn it, what the hell is this!”

Seeing this, Tang Zhong knew his opportunity had arrived.

Brandishing the Dragon Spear, he thrust it at the Ghost King.

The Ghost King felt it immediately and hurriedly dodged.

The Dragon Spear grazed past his face.

But the Ghost King still had his hand on Xia Yuqing.

Seeing this, Tang Zhong harshly chopped down, aiming directly at the Ghost King’s arm, which would be severed if he did not release Xia Yuqing.

Seeing this, the Ghost King glanced back at the bats, decided killing someone else wasn’t important now, then glanced at the black stone in Xia Yuqing’s hand flashing with a faint red light and dodged.

“Give me the stone!”

Xia Yuqing couldn’t dodge, and the stone was snatched away.

With a cold smile, the Ghost King declared, “Since you want this woman, I’ll give her to you!” and then he violently pushed Xia Yuqing out.

Xia Yuqing stumbled forward.

Tang Zhong immediately reached out to catch Xia Yuqing, stabilizing her.

The Ghost King sarcastically laughed, taking the stone and running away.

“Are you okay?” Tang Zhong asked, holding Xia Yuqing.

“I’m fine, chase after the stone, our mission this time was to find this kind of stone and then leave here!” Xia Yuqing immediately said.

“I’m afraid, we can’t get out anymore,” Tang Zhong said.

“Why?” Xia Yuqing asked.

“Look behind us!” Tang Zhong pointed in the direction he was looking.

Xia Yuqing turned, and her face grew pale at the sight.

Bats swarmed down from the sky like dark clouds.

In the front, many people had already fallen prey.

Monkeys, accompanied by brothers from Dragon Group, were also fleeing.

The fog was just ahead; once inside, there would be no problems at all.

“Hurry, Brother Tang!”

“You go first!” said Tang Zhong, glancing at the swarm of bats, his expression grave.

There were too many bats; if he didn’t hold them off, everyone would die here.

“No, we leave together!” Monkey shouted.

“Exactly, Brother Tang, we should go together!” said the other members of Dragon Group.

“I’m telling you to go, that’s an order!” Immediately, Tang Zhong took out his Dragon Spear and started shooting at the bats.

Thud, thud, thud, bullets were fired.

Hitting the bats, they exploded on impact.

Seeing their comrades fall, the other bats became enraged and swarmed toward Tang Zhong to attack.

Order!

Monkey and the others dared not disobey; members of the Dragon Group had to follow orders.

They could only grit their teeth: “Take care, Brother Tang!”

“Take care, Brother Tang!”

The group very reluctantly left because the order was from the leader, and whatever the leader orders, had to be obeyed.

“No, you must come with me!” Xia Yuqing insisted.

“You follow them!” Tang Zhong said while continuing to shoot.

“No, I won’t go!” Xia Yuqing refused.

“But…” Tang Zhong was about to speak when the bats closed in, leaving him no time to argue, and he continued firing his Dragon Spear.

Tang Zhong kept pulling the trigger, firing ten rounds in quick succession, directly hitting the approaching bats, turning them into debris.

But the numbers of bats were increasing, too many to kill.

And these bats were extremely clever, even knowing to block the way out.

Just after Monkey and the others left, the bats had taken over the path.

They surrounded Tang Zhong and Xia Yuqing together.

Just after killing a bat, Tang Zhong immediately turned to Xia Yuqing: “I told you to leave, why didn’t you go?”

Xia Yuqing wielded a knife, also fending off bats, hearing Tang Zhong speak, she said: “I can’t go, I want to stay with you!”

“You…” Tang Zhong gritted his teeth in frustration.

“Just like the old times!” Xia Yuqing said with a smile.

Hearing this, Tang Zhong momentarily lost himself in thought.

The old times, huh?

Remembering the past with Xia Yuqing, they had been selected together to join Dragon Group, eventually becoming members of Dragon Group, struggling together through numerous hardships.

Xia Yuqing had been with Tang Zhong the most.

“Fine then, I don’t want to die!” Tang Zhong said, “Do you?”

“I don’t want to!” Xia Yuqing immediately responded.

Originally, Tang Zhong had been prepared to sacrifice himself, then allow the others time to escape.

But now that Xia Yuqing was with him, he couldn’t let Xia Yuqing die.

“Our only way out now is the fog we saw earlier.

Did you see that?

Ever since the others entered the fog, those bats didn’t follow them inside.

That means they can’t enter the fog.

But these bats are smart, now they’ve blocked our path, and we absolutely can’t enter!” Tang Zhong explained.

“Then what should we do?” Xia Yuqing became anxious.

“There’s one more way, from there, jump down!” Tang Zhong pointed to a distant waterfall: “Although these bats came flying out from that waterfall, the most dangerous places are sometimes the safest.

The Forest of Death is a dead end to begin with; the existence of this waterfall is already a miracle, which means there’s water there.

So the end of the waterfall is our chance at life!”

“But, that waterfall, we don’t know how deep it is!

Jumping like this, we might end up dead from the fall!” Xia Yuqing said.

“No matter how deep it is, since we can’t get back to that fog, we only have this path, we have no other choice!” Tang Zhong, after shooting a few bats, started pulling Xia Yuqing toward the cliff.

Xia Yuqing offered no resistance.

Both reached the edge of the cliff and glanced at the sky filled with bats.

“Jump!” Tang Zhong yelled.

Then, both of them leapt, quickly falling into the waterfall.

From the descending waterfall, the figures of the two quickly followed the water flowing downwards!
