King Of Chaos

Chapter 50 Ch 50: Bats



Chapter 50 Ch 50: Bats

After five hours of continuous walking, an open space finally appeared at the end of the tunnel.

It was similar to the space from the cave, it was very large. Instead of only bats, stalactites and countless dense black bats hung down from the ceiling.

Ye Xiao looked around the space and found that the other side was sealed with no opening. However, there were a few openings beside the path that he came out of.

It was obvious that the underground cave was connected in every direction. If there were no lost paths, then this would be the end of it.

"That place seems a little special!"

Ye Xiao muttered as he looked at the darkness ahead with his sharp eyes. Dozens of stalactites were connecting to the ground in that direction, forming a wall.

Ye Xiao stood at his place for a few seconds and then headed towards the row of stalactites.

As soon as he moved, the bats were alarmed and pounced down, aiming at him.

Surprisingly, these bats had already reached Mid Stage of Chaos Dust Realm. To other people, they were already terrifying beasts. However, Ye Xiao had a special ability that could easily take care of these bats, in an instant.

"Soul Destruction"

Just these two words and all those attacking bats were dead.

After taking care of the bats, Ye Xiao quickly walked to the side of the row of stalactites and looked inside.

Ye Xiao had already activated the Heavenly Demon Pupil. He glanced at the stalactite and his expression couldn't help but change.

There was a reason why Ye Xiao was using Heavenly Demon Pupil instead of Eyes of Insight. Eyes of Insight enable Ye Xiao to see through the essence of everything that exists. But Ye Xiao doesn't need to see through the essence of anything in the current situation. He only wanted to find out if there are hidden dangers here or not. And only Heavenly Demon Pupils could help him do that.

The moment Ye Xiao looked deeper with his Heavenly Demon Pupil, he was shocked to discover many Late Stage Chaos Dust Realm bats, as well as an Early Stage Chaos Spirit Realm bat.

The Early Stage Chaos Spirit Realm bat seemed to be the leader of all these bats.

This bat was very huge, comparable to an ordinary tiger, and its wingspan was over 20 feet long. Its thin wings were nailed to the stalactite. They were like a giant curtain reflecting a jet-black luster that was extremely shocking.

The sharp teeth in its large mouth reflected a cold light, as if it could tear through gold and break jade.

An ordinary Bat's body was only about the size of a fist, and this Chaos Spirit Realm Bat's body was over a hundred times the size of an ordinary Bat. Its head was extremely shocking, and its rat-like appearance was extremely sinister and terrifying.

However, the gigantic Bat didn't move at all. It wasn't startled by Ye Xiao's appearance. If it wasn't for the slight undulations on its body, Ye Xiao would have thought that it wasn't a living being.

"What's going on with this Demonic Beast?" Ye Xiao muttered in a low voice.

His eye landed on the stalactites behind the gigantic Bat. There was a flash of cold light at the location where the stalactites were connected, Ye Xiao clearly saw that they were tiny nails that nailed this Bat onto the stalactites.

The stalactite that the Bat was nailing was covered with strange and complicated patterns, which extended from the stalactite to the ground it was connected to, flickering with a faint light.

After which, the smooth ground behind the row of stalactites was filled with the same pattern. These patterns formed a circular light band with a mysterious aura. The outer patterns of the circular light band had already been purchased, but in the center, there was a small amount of darkness. There was no light.

When looking at all the patterns as a whole, one could clearly feel that this pattern contained an indescribable power. As he stared at it for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of absent-mindedness, as if there was another world hidden behind this large-scale pattern!

"Divine Inscriptions!"

Ye Xiao immediately recognized these patterns as Divine Inscriptions. He had seen Divine Inscriptions before, but the Divine Inscriptions here were different. These Divine Inscriptions didn't have the aura of divinity in them at all, instead, they were filled with evil and fiendish aura.

After observing for a while, Ye Xiao discovered another thing that surprised him.

Teleportation formation!

Who would have thought that there was actually a teleportation formation hidden here?

However, Ye Xiao could tell that the teleportation formation had not been activated yet, and the black area in the middle of the Divine Inscriptions had not lit up. This meant that the formation was not complete yet!

Ye Xiao kept observing the surroundings, and very soon, he yet again made a shocking discovery.

He saw a very narrow groove right below the huge bat. A very thin metal wire was handing down above this groove, and its other end was connected to the bat's heart. Every few minutes, a tiny drop of blood essence would drip into the groove, causing the runes on the surface of the groove to light up for dozens of microseconds.

And then, that drop of blood essence would disappear, as if it was absorbed by the rune light.

Ye Xiao was able to find this only after a few minutes of close observation, but he still could not understand the meaning behind it.

This huge bat was not dead, it was still alive and was enduring the pain here for who knows how many years.

"What happened? Tell me, why are you in this condition?" Ye Xiao asked.

Ye Xiao knew very well that all the Chaos Beasts are intelligent beings. He asked, hoping that this Chaos Beast might know how to speak as a Chaos Spirit Realm beast.

But he was disappointed.

Although the huge bat understood Ye Xiao, it could not talk, so it was unable to tell him why he was in this condition or who is responsible for it.

"Eyes of Insight!"

Knowing that he could not gain anything from the huge bat, Ye Xiao immediately activated the Eyes of Insight and looked at the narrow groove.

Unlike the last time, Ye Xiao discovered another secret this time.

He discovered countless runes beneath the groove, forming a long red line that went straight to the teleportation circle just like the narrow groove itself. With every drop of the bat's Blood Essence, a very small stroke of the teleportation circle would be drawn. Although very slow, this was a continuous process that has been on run for who knows how many years.

And it seems it would not take long for this teleportation circle to be completed. In at most a few days or a week, it will be completed.

This teleportation formation was created from the blood essence absorbed by the runes hidden underneath the groove filled with Divine Inscriptions. It seems very special, but what was its function? Why was this formation created in the first place? Who is the one responsible for all of these?

Ye Xiao took a deep breath and arrived in front of the teleportation formation. Maybe, it was created from the blood of the huge bat, this formation was completely red.

As the teleportation formation was near its completion, Ye Xiao could already feel an evil and fiendish aura coming.

Because Ye Xiao was observing the formation with his Eyes of Insight activated, he soon discovered another thing.

"This is... This is not the Teleportation Formation but a Summoning Formation!"

Ye Xiao was shocked.

It seems whoever is the one responsible for everything here, they must want to summon someone or something. And the medium of all this was the huge bat's blood.

But...

"What is the relationship between this bat and the one who is going to be summoned here through this formation? What exactly the person who created this all wants to do?"

There were questions, but no answers.

But he had a feeling that as long as something was summoned from this formation, it will definitely bring a huge disaster to this land.

"No, I have to stop this!"

Ye Xiao muttered and turned to look at the huge bat. Then he immediately started taking out the nails that were causing its imprisonment in this place.

Maybe, because Ye Xiao was helping this bat, no other bats attacked Ye Xiao this time.

There were countless bats here and all of them were Chaos Dust Realm bats. They were already scared by Ye Xiao when they saw how easily Ye Xiao killed other bats. Thus, they did not dare to attack Ye Xiao.

However, now that they saw Ye Xiao helping the big bat, all the bats started letting out strange noises, but Ye Xiao could feel their enthusiasm. It seems they were very happy that someone was helping their leader.
