Chapter 310 - 310 Defeating The Green-winged Draconic Bat
A gust of cold air formed out of thin air and spread out instantaneously. Within moments, the entire mountain forest was covered in thick ice, and it kept on spreading in all directions. The scene was both spectacular and strange.
“Screech!”
Under the onslaught of the cold air, the Green-winged Draconic Bat let out a sharp scream, struggling to break free from the ice. But under the Ice Spirit’s masterful control, the bat’s struggles were in vain.
!!
Shen Fei quickly said to Aloy, “Aloy, you two and get Li Ruoying. Leave the Green-winged Draconic Bat to me.”
With that, Shen Fei quickly appeared in front of the Green-winged Draconic Bat, “Your opponent is me! Flame Owl, now!”
Hearing this, the Flame Owl let out a low cry, flapped its huge wings, and swooped down violently. Shen Fei did not waste any words as both his fists smashed out.
Boom!
Two iron-hard hammerfists smashed onto the back of the Green-winged Draconic Bat. This time, Shen Fei had increased his strength, causing his fists to sink deeper.
The Green-winged Draconic Bat was in pain as it raised its head and let out a sad cry. In the next moment, it suddenly turned around and its sharp claws swiped at Shen Fei.
Shen Fei’s figure flashed and dodged the Green-winged Draconic Bat’s attack. Immediately after that, his right foot stomped on the ground, borrowing the force of the impact, and kneed the Green-winged Draconic Bat’s abdomen.
Shen Fei’s knee sank deep into the Green-winged Draconic Bat’s stomach, causing it to let out a blood-curdling scream in pain.
The Green-winged Draconic Bat writhed in pain. Without caring about its own injuries, it flapped its wings madly and broke out of the icy hold. Its huge body kept trembling, bringing with it a gust of wind as it tried to pounce on Shen Fei.
The muscles in Shen Fei’s arms tensed up as he clenched his fists and met the attack. He started to fight with the Green-winged Draconic Bat.
“Flame Owl, Blazing Charge!”
At the same time, a loud cry like a phoenix cut through the sky, and the Flame Owl swooped down from the sky once more.
Whoosh!
A scorching pillar of fire shot out from the Flame Owl’s mouth, shooting straight at the Green-winged Draconic Bat. Wherever the fire pillar passed, the air became distorted, and even mist rose up, looking particularly daunting.
The pillar of fire struck the ground, stirring up smoke and dust. The Flame Owl opened its mouth and spat out more scorching flames, assailing the Green-winged Draconic Bat’s figure.
The dense flames immediately enveloped the Green-winged Draconic Bat, and it let out a pained cry, “Howl!”
The Green-winged Draconic Bat flapped its wings fiercely, stirring up the wind in an attempt to extinguish the scorching flames. However, the flames were too strong, and even the wind could not do anything to them.
“Howl…” the Green-winged Draconic Bat wailed in pain.
More than half of its scales had been burned, and its flesh had become unsightly, dripping with blood.
“Good job, Flame Owl.” Shen Fei grinned. He never thought that these flames would be so powerful. Not only did he burn the Green-winged Draconic Bat, but he also helped exhaust its battle power.
Shen Fei knew that victory was close at hand!
“Roar!” The Green-winged Draconic Bat let out another furious roar.
After that, it used its last bit of strength to rush toward the white light barrier.
“Sh*t!” Aloy’s expression changed, and Ice Spirit immediately flapped its wings and chased after the bat. Unfortunately, she was a step too slow!
A muffled sound rang out as the Green-winged Draconic Bat slammed into the barrier. The shield trembled violently and almost collapsed. The Green-winged Draconic Bat’s body also quaked as it spat blood. The force of the collision also forced it back a few stumbling steps.
Although the barrier was unbroken, it showed signs of being on the verge of shattering.
Qian Yu quickly rushed over, looking worried. “This isn’t good! It wants to take Li Ruoying and leave!”
“Damn it!” Shen Fei frowned. He raised his left hand and took out a black stone slab from his storage ring. He then threw it at the Green-winged Draconic Bat.
The black stone slab expanded in mid-flight and instantly grew into the size of a house. Then, the black stone slab came crashing down, knocking the Green-winged Draconic Bat to the ground.
Wham!
The Green-winged Draconic Bat’s head tilted to the side, and it staggered and fell to the ground, letting out painful howls.
Swish…
Just then, the white light barrier began to dissipate. At that moment, Aloy and Qian Yu were right beside it.
“Li Ruoying!” As Aloy shouted, she reached out to help Li Ruoying get up.
Li Ruoying was unconscious. Her clothes were torn and tattered, and her whole body was stained with crimson blood. It was a shocking sight. It was a good thing that Aloy had reached her in time, or else Li Ruoying would have fallen on her head.
“Li Ruoying?” Qian Yu hurriedly stepped forward to check on her, but when he saw her appearance clearly, he could not help but freeze at the sight.
Li Ruoying’s body was covered in blood, and she was obviously in a bad state. Her skin, which was once as fair as porcelain, was now riddled with hideous wounds.
Qian Yu’s eyes widened in disbelief. “This… How did she end up like this?”
“Li Ruoying suffered a backlash from her spiritual power and injured her internal organs. I’m afraid she won’t live long,” Shen Fei said.
“What?!” Qian Yu’s face turned pale when he heard this.
Aloy’s brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of pity flashed across her eyes.
‘How could this have happened to her?’
“She’s like this because the Green-winged Draconic Bat absorbed too much of her spiritual energy, which caused the backlash. It’s also why she’s unconscious,” Shen Fei explained.
“No wonder… I felt her spiritual fluctuation get weaker. That must be the case.” Aloy nodded in understanding. “Shen Fei, what do we do now?”
Shen Fei pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s bring her back to the base for treatment first.”
“Okay!” Aloy nodded, then she lay Li Ruoying on the Ice Spirit’s back, and the three of them returned to the base.
Back at the base, Qian Yu placed Li Ruoying in the infirmary.
Qian Yu looked at Luo Ying and pleaded, “Luo Ying, I’ll leave her to you.”
Luo Ying nodded. Then, she walked to Li Ruoying’s bedside and carefully examined her injuries.
Once again, Qian Yu anxiously sought Shen Fei for answers. “Shen Fei, what’s going on? How did Li Ruoying suddenly become like this?”
...
Shen Fei sighed and slowly said, “The Green-winged Draconic Bat’s ambush gave us heavy injuries on our bodies. Li Ruoying, on the other hand, had over-exhausted her spiritual energy. In addition, whatever stimuli the Green-winged Draconic Bat exposed her to may have caused her to have a mental breakdown and fall into a coma.”
Upon hearing this, Qian Yu was stunned. Then, he muttered to himself, “It’s actually the doing of the Green-winged Draconic Bat…”
Shen Fei indifferently said, “But it can be seen that the Green-winged Draconic Bat really needs Li Ruoying. Perhaps it’s because she was bitten by an exotic beast before, thus her body has a special energy?
“In other words, Li Ruoying is very precious to the Green-winged Draconic Bat. Her blood contains a special power that could increase the Green-winged Draconic Bat’s strength and allow it to level up.”
Aloy frowned and slowly said, “So that’s how it is. But we don’t know why the Green-winged Draconic Bat wants to acquire so much power.”
