I've Activated The Hidden Path of Beast Evolution

Chapter 166 - 166 Bat Cave

166 Bat Cave

After hearing this, Ye Fan looked at the other party with a complicated expression.

Wang Jun noticed Ye Fan’s gaze and had an unnatural expression. He hesitated for a moment before continuing: “Actually, we are not only acting as guides on this trip, we also have private arrangements.”

Ye Fan raised his eyebrows: “Oh? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Wang Jun looked at the cave and said, “The Bat King is a Rank-7 monster, so we classified this cave as one of the target locations. However, I didn’t tell you in advance. I’m really sorry.”

!!

“So we don’t need any remuneration for this mission. We’ll help in the subsequent battles. Do you think that’s okay?”

Saying so, he carefully looked at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan pondered for a while. He was a little puzzled at first, because the reward for his mission was quite high, but the Rock Hunter Group usually did not accept missions with such rewards.

After all, they preferred the kind of mission where they hunted monsters while collecting materials.

However, the mission of the guide was mainly to bring the employer to a safe place and try to avoid fighting monsters. This was not the mission that the Hunter Group yearned for.

But now, seeing that the Hunter Group accepted this mission, this was probably the reason. After understanding this, Ye Fan shook his head.

“It’s fine! As long as everyone cooperates with me and completes it according to my requirements.”

“That’s for sure!” Wang Jun and the others heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed.

After a while, Wang Jun said, “The Bat King’s attack skills are mainly sound waves. The cave is a semi-enclosed environment. This is beneficial to sound waves. Why don’t we lure the bats out before attacking?”

Ye Fan naturally agreed, because luring the bats outside was very simple.

After everyone was ready to fight, Wang Jun took out a bamboo incense that was about 20 centimeters long. After lighting it, he placed it at the entrance of the cave. The incense gradually floated into the cave, and the effect was very good.

Because there was a huge commotion in the cave in less than three minutes, the bats flapped their wings and let out sharp cries. Not long after, a large group rushed out.

Each of these bats was the size of a cat. Their bodies were grayish-black and their faces were terrifying.

Thousands of bats flapped their wings and flew out. They looked crazy, as if they were escaping. There was also a very large bat mixed in, four to five times larger than ordinary bats. It had very sharp teeth and an ugly face.

This should be the Bat King. When Wang Jun and the others saw this, they immediately prepared to attack.

Anissa also spread her wings and flew towards the Bat King. Soon, they began an intense battle.

The battle gradually reached its climax. Suddenly, a deafening sound came from the cave. It could be guessed that there was also an intense battle in the cave.

Ye Fan frowned slightly and looked at Wang Jun, but Wang Jun had a confused expression.

“Did you hear that? What’s that sound coming from the cave?”

At this moment, they all noticed the commotion in the cave.

“What’s going on? Even the Bat King can’t cause such a huge commotion!”

“Are there other pets in the cave?”

“If that’s the case, how can the bats come out?”

Everyone was discussing. Wang Jun looked at Ye Fan, not knowing what he would do.

“Ye Fan.”

Ye Fan hesitated for a while before saying: “Let’s deal with this bat king first.”

Currently, his goal was only the Bat King. As for what happened in the cave, he would study it after killing the Bat King. Curiosity was not as important as business.

After hearing this, everyone pulled their attention back to the battle in front of them.

The number of Ghost Bats was much more than everyone had imagined. There were about a thousand of them, which was about ten times more than the number of the hunters.

However, in terms of personal strength, the hunters had a huge advantage. Their pets were mostly above Rank-5. Wang Jun’s pets had even reached Rank-6.

However, Ghost Bats were usually only Rank-4. Even the Bat King was being stopped by Anissa and did not have the time to deal with them, so they could completely deal with it.

After watching for a while, Ye Fan shifted his gaze to Anissa. Anissa had awakened many talents and skills, so her current combat strength was about the same as a high-level Rank-7.

Previously, she could quickly kill the Venomous Snake and the Flying Tiger because of her talent. However, now, she could only gain a slight advantage against the intermediate Rank-7 Bat King. This battle would not end so quickly.

Looking at this, Ye Fan thought for a while and called Rose out. He planned to let her participate in the battle so that he could end this battle as soon as possible.

After Rose appeared, she understood the current situation. Then, she hid in Ye Fan’s arms and pulled his clothes in fear.

“Why are there so many bats!!”

Rose was so afraid that she wanted to cry. Ye Fan found it a little funny. He had almost forgotten that many girls were afraid of bats because bats were very disgusting and gave people goosebumps when they saw them.

“Don’t be afraid. The bats won’t come here.”

After Ye Fan comforted Rose for a while, he released his soul power to kill a few bats that wanted to come over.

After Rose calmed down, Ye Fan asked him to support Anissa.

After Rose joined the battle, Anissa’s combat strength increased instantly. The bat king’s combat strength was weakened to below Rank-7.

Anissa, who had the upper hand from the beginning, now controlled the entire rhythm of the battle, putting the Bat King in a very sorry state.

After evolving to the grown stage, Rose’s buffing skills had strengthened a lot. Moreover, the skills that brought bad luck to the other party and reduced their combat strength had greatly increased. It could cause Rank-7s to drop by two levels.

If the enemy was Rank-6, the effect would only be stronger than now.

However, to have such a powerful support ability, one had to pay a considerable price. For example, Rose’s combat strength was already weakened to a certain extent.

She was almost non-aggressive. Her only attack skill was a large-scale area-of-effect attack. It could be useful against low-level monsters, but it was useless against high-level enemies. In any case, there should be pros and cons.

Ye Fan was very satisfied with Rose’s current situation because he had many combat pets. He only had one support-type pet like Rose, so she was very precious to him.

As time passed, the battle slowly entered its white-hot stage.

Chen Xiuxiu of the Rock Hunter Group was seriously paying attention to the battle at this moment, so that she could provide support at any time.

She happened to see the cooperation between Rose and Anissa. As a support-type Beast Tamer, she had quite a number of support-type pets.
