"Could it be bats?" Little Nuonuo answered softly.
He had heard the sound of bats before, just like the one he just heard, and in such dark and damp passages, bats were normal. Who knows, they might even be raised by the Sect Master of the Saintess Sect.
"They are bats," Qian Yizheng confird the little baby’s words.
Indeed, they were bats, but not ordinary bats; they were a kind that sucked human blood. If they set their sights on you, you’d be drained of blood.
"These bats must be raised by soone; they’re not ordinary bats, they only suck human blood," he said.
"How do you know?" Min Yi asked.
Bats are bloodsuckers, but those that only suck human blood must be deliberately raised. How did Qian Yizheng figure it out?
"I slled the scent from those bats; it’s the sll of human blood, very foul," Qian Yizheng explained.
He had just caught that foul scent, reminiscent of the ti on Huayan Peak when he killed a demonic beast, whose blood was also terribly stinky.
Later, after hearing about it, he learned that demonic beast was specialized in feeding on human blood.
"Everyone, stop talking now. Bats don’t have eyes, but they can hear sounds. If we make noise here, they might return."
He reminded them.
"Mm!"
Little Nuonuo was the first to cover his mouth.
He could keep quiet temporarily; he couldn’t let the bats drain his blood.
"Let’s go, keep moving forward, and try to leave this passage as quickly as possible," Qian Yizheng led everyone onward; the passage was so long he suspected it wasn’t leading to Reflection Cliff.
However, where it led didn’t matter; if there were blood-sucking bats in the passage, there must be secrets at the end, and if they kept pursuing it, they’d surely find them.
The group hurriedly continued their journey, encountering Blood-sucking Bats twice more in the passage before reaching its end.
’Bang!’
At the other end of the passage, instead of a hidden door, it was simply blocked by a wooden door.
When they opened the wooden door and saw the light from inside, they were completely astounded by the scene before them.
"Oh my God, what is this place? How could there be so many corpses?"
Min Yi, looking at the mountain of corpses piled high, almost vomited. He finally understood where those occasionally disappearing cultivators within the Saintess Sect’s domain had gone.
Turns out they were all piled here.
"These are human bones, ugh."
Little Nuonuo turned green, having traveled through so many planes with his mother, he had never seen anything like this.
Killing so many people, was it really to feed the Blood-sucking Bats in the passage? Those bats were indeed very formidable; if bitten by them, one bite could an death.
Fortunately, they had managed to evade the bats in ti while in the passage.
"This seems to be an abandoned village," Qian Yizheng remarked while observing the general outline of the place.
It took his reminder for the others to have the presence of mind to look around; sure enough, it resembled a village. However, the village had fallen into disrepair, with the buildings only retaining a rough outline.
"It really is a village."
The others stared at the scene, astonished. How many people had died in this village for the corpses to pile up like this?
"I know!"
Min Yi placed the little baby on the ground, only reacting after a while.
