Chapter 32 Green-headed Flies
Chapter 32 Green-headed Flies
"These are green bottle flies, there's no hiding anymore, get out!" Han Ning's knowledge was indeed extensive; she knew what these creatures were the moment they flew out.
Green-headed flies are a powerful tool for attracting people; they were developed by the Magic Association to help locate mages with exceptional stealth abilities.
These greenbottle flies have no other skills; they can smell the blood of humans around them, no matter how deep they hide, even if they are buried in the ground and sealed with cement. They are born to suck blood.
Green flies themselves are harmless, at most they will suck a little blood, but after being sucked by green flies, they will reveal their location and their magical aura will be unconsciously revealed.
This is the most deadly part. Green bottle flies have a very short lifespan, only a few minutes, but this can be especially deadly at certain times. For example, right now, even if Su Ming knows that Han Ning and the others are hiding here, he has no way to get them out. But once the green bottle flies arrive, they will be exposed.
Han Ning took the lead, unleashing a burst of fire that spread over a radius of tens of meters, killing a swarm of greenbottle flies. However, it was of little use, as the greenbottle flies were resilient and some managed to escape and crawl onto them to suck their blood.
Han Ning released magic, which should have exposed him, but because he deliberately suppressed it, it wouldn't attract the attention of the blood bats. However, the arrival of the green-headed flies changed everything.
After consuming her blood, Han Ning's magical aura was unmistakably revealed, along with Li Yan's mid-level magical cultivation, instantly causing the blood bats to go berserk and almost break free of the ice lock's restraints.
Bloodbat was sleeping soundly when two intruders, who were humans, suddenly entered. This enraged him, and he was about to kill the two humans on the spot. But then he suddenly discovered that his home had been robbed.
There were actually three people in the house. For a demon with a strong sense of territory, this was no less than a human having their home raided; it was an irreconcilable hatred.
"Squeak~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
The blood bat howled and flapped its wings. Fueled by rage, it broke through the mid-level ice chains and flew toward Han Ning at an incredible speed, without even glancing at Su Ming in the middle.
Now, all he cares about are Han Ning and the other two who stole from his house.
"We're doomed." Han Ning sighed. She was already injured, and the Blood Bat was a powerful warrior-level demon. The odds of winning were slim, not to mention there were two people watching outside.
Su Ming had already reunited with Xiao Qing and Han Su. The two were far away and could barely see Xue Fu and Han Ning. They were waiting, waiting for Xue Fu and the others to be exhausted together.
"Demons are demons after all, they don't have brains." Su Ming shook his head, somewhat sighing. Heaven is indeed fair. Since it has bestowed upon demons powerful bodies and extraordinary strength, it will naturally take some things back from other places, and that thing is intelligence.
These demons generally lack intelligence, possess only instincts, and are incapable of judging advantages and disadvantages; this is a common flaw among demons.
"Radiant Shield".
Li Yan shouted, and forty-nine stars quickly arranged themselves to form a vast star map of light. A bright barrier of light rose from the ground and instantly enveloped the three of them.
"Bang." The Blood Bat crashed directly into the Holy Shield, its head crushed, and a large amount of scarlet blood flowed out, obstructing its vision.
Blood Bat never expected this thin little thing to be so tough. He was a dark creature, and light was the most effective way to subdue him. Now, not only was blood flowing down his head, but the burning effect caused by the light was like ants crawling on his face.
"Fierce Fist - Heaven-Shattering Strike"
Han Ning shouted, and his fist was wrapped in scorching flames. The flames erupted in tongues of fire, forming a huge fire halo around it. It was a fist of fire bigger than a wall. The temperature inside caused a lot of moisture in the air to evaporate, making the cave somewhat dry.
The thunderous attack struck Blood Bat, sending her flying and crashing into the wall, creating a huge dent.
The blood bat struggled, but the sharp parts of the luminous stones all pierced into its body, leaving a large amount of flesh and blood inside the concave surface when they were pulled out.
The blood bat stood still, his wings tattered. He had been blinded by rage, which caused him to be hit head-on by the magic. Fortunately, he was one of the stronger warrior-level warriors; if it had been a weaker one, he would probably be dead.
Blood Bat's eyes were filled with resentment. He flapped his wings and attacked once again.
The Holy Shield's effect hadn't worn off yet, so Han Ning calmly focused on condensing mid-level fire magic. They didn't have much mana, so every attack had to be at its maximum effect, and they also had to reserve some mana to deal with unexpected situations.
For example, two people sneaking around outside.
"Awesome~~~~~"
The Blood Bat did not strike the Holy Shield. He knew it was light magic, and he could not break it. He would also be corrupted by the holy light. Suddenly, a dazzling laser shot out from his head, and the scarlet light struck the Holy Shield.
The collision of darkness and light instantly caused a great deal of damage. Under the attack of the laser, even the Holy Shield could not withstand it and disappeared completely after a period of time. Li Yan's expression changed, and he casually cast a low-level spell.
Radiance & Illumination.
The light dispelled the fog, but it revealed a scene he would never forget: a blood bat, its head covered in blood, its skull caved in, its body scorched yellow, staring intently at him, its sharp claws waving.
Li Yan could even smell the stench emanating from the blood bats, and his attacks became incredibly slow, almost like a revolving lantern.
Ah!
I'm going to die.
Li Yan subconsciously closed his eyes, but he didn't hear the sensation of claws piercing his chest.
He opened his eyes and saw the blood bat's charred body lying not far away, its wings trembling as it tried to stand up but couldn't.
He was unharmed, but Bei Wang was terrified. His eyes trembled as he stared at one spot, tears streaming down his face.
Suddenly, Li Yan felt a pang of pain in his heart and his gaze trembled as he moved it.
There, Han Ning lay motionless, looking exactly like the Blood Bat. She was unable to move, and a large hole had been opened in her stomach, from which blood instantly flowed into a small lake.
"Han Ning!!" Li Yan shouted, his voice trembling. He took off his clothes and pressed them against her stomach to try to stop the bleeding. The blood instantly soaked his clothes, and the bleeding did not stop; instead, it flowed out even faster.
Li Yan was at a loss, staring blankly at his blood-stained hands.
"Han Su, how about we make a deal?" Han Ning whispered, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, but they were both magicians and could hear her perfectly well.
Han Su and Su Ming walked over, their expressions somewhat strange, as if Han Ning shouldn't have died like this.
"I've done many bad things and been labeled a dark mage, I admit it, but that child is innocent, they are both innocent. The thing I took from the Han family is in my pocket, I hope it wasn't knocked away by the blood bat. It can help a beginner mage reach the energy needed to advance to the intermediate level. I know that after I die, this thing will also belong to you, but I still hope you can let them go." Han Ning stared blankly at the mouth, speaking unconsciously.
"You are a military mage, I am a dark mage, but... what about the Han family? Are the Han family better than dark mages? No, they are more hateful than I am, more..."
"They will be handed over to the court for the fairest judgment," Han Su said calmly.
Suddenly, as if resurrected from the dead, Han Ning grabbed Han Su's trouser leg with one hand, "Han Su, I watched you grow up, do you want me... to... beg you...?"
Han Ning's hand fell, her eyes wide open, dying with unseeing disbelief.
Han Su calmly found the treasure on her body. It was in a small bottle with a crystal floating inside. Even though there was no energy leakage, Su Ming still felt that this thing was very powerful.
It can be any sign, it just feels like I'm awesome.
"Li Yan, thirty-three years old, Bei Wang, twenty-one years old, come with us." Han Su said calmly.
Li Yan seemed to have suddenly gone mad, charging towards Han Su with a ferocious expression.
"Mind control..."
Su Ming slowly exhaled, and an invisible claw grabbed Li Yan, rendering him unable to move.
"What kind of military mages are you! What you've done is no different from what we've done! No different at all!!" Li Yan, though restrained, still roared, "Do you know what you did to me during winter break! Do you know what the Han family did to us?!"
"This is no reason for you to become a dark mage. Dark mages are to be killed by everyone." Han Su didn't want to argue with Li Yan. She went to the blood bat's corpse.
Blood Bat was struck by Han Ning's devastating attack at the last moment, and was now dead beyond any doubt. This corpse was of great value; its blood and bones could fetch a good price.
She was going to take the body back.
It's over, much easier than I expected.
