On this day, they finally arrived at Kongsang Mountain. Everyone descended from the clouds and were all shocked. Within a circumference of a hundred li, there was a steep and towering mountain, but there were many rocks and few plants. There was no sign of human habitation at the foot of the mountain, it was desolate.
It was almost dusk. The sun was sinking in the west. The yellow sunset shined on Kongsang Mountain, bringing a bit of desolation and terror. They landed at the foot of the mountain and retrieved their esper. Kevern looked at the sky, said: "I don't think there is any place to stay here. Why don't we go up the mountain now, search for 'Cave of Fangs' and see if there is a suitable place to rest for the night."
Issa nodded: "Qi Shixiong is right. Let us go up the mountain now." Shaw Danon did not have any objection since Issa agreed. Anan looked at the sky, did not say anything, but she was the first to go to the top of the mountain.
Kongsang Mountain was not as high as Jadeon's Peak of Widows, but it was not low either. Plus it was remote and steep, there was no way to find it. The four of them went up from the foot of the mountain. When they reached the middle of the mountain, the sky was already dark.
As the four of them walked to a platform, Qi Hao called out to them and took out a small bronze mirror from his bosom. The three of them immediately recognized that it was the Green Cloud Sect's treasure, the "Union Mirror". For a moment, they were stunned and did not know what Qi Hao was going to do.
Kevern held the Union Mirror in his hand and chanted a few incantations. The originally dim Union Mirror seemed to sense something and gradually brightened up. It floated up from Kevern's hand and stopped two feet above his head. The light became brighter and brighter, with a pale yellow glow, lit up a circle six feet around the four of them, protecting them in the center.
Kevern said: "Eight hundred years ago, Kongsang Mountain was the gathering place of Felkin heretics. I see this mountain is desolate and strange. I'm afraid there are a lot of mountain spirits. Union Mirror can protect its owner, so we can prepare for it. "
Shaw Danon looked at the Union Mirror floating in the air. The small mirror's appearance was not amazing, but there was auspicious energy in it. It should not be underestimated. At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a loud noise in the distance, followed by a crackling sound. The sound gradually became denser, and in the end, not only did it become louder and louder, even the rhythm could not be heard clearly. Only the loud rumbling noise reverberated in this barren mountain. In the distance, relying on the little light emitted by the Six Harmonies Mirror in the darkness, everyone was shocked to see that behind the distant mountain, a black cloud suddenly soared up, appearing even more strange in this darkness, and the loud rumbling sound came from there.
Everyone's expression changed. Zeng Shushu rolled his eyes and suddenly cried out, "Six Union Mirror!"
As soon as he spoke, before anyone could react, the black cloud in the sky seemed to have sensed something and moved towards them. A moment later, an ear-piercing whistle seemed to come from the black cloud. In an instant, the black cloud turned and pounced towards the four of them, the only light in the dark night.
In an instant, the starry night sky turned pitch-black, as if it was covered by something. They could smell the stench filled their surroundings. Shaw Danon and others were shocked. Only Kevern was still calm, but his face was pale. He quickly said: "Do not move, do not leave the range of Union Mirror."
After another moment, the whistling and rumbling sounds were already right beside their ears. Under the light of the Six Harmonies Mirror, everyone finally saw the black cloud clearly. It was actually countless black bats, densely packed together. Moreover, looking at their figures, they were more than twice the size of the bats they had seen in the past. Every single one of them had their mouths wide open. Amidst their black bodies, their mouths were scarlet red, looking ferocious and terrifying.
But the pale yellow light from Union Mirror showed its effect. All of the bats were blocked outside of the light circle. No matter how they hit and squeezed, the light circle did not budge. On the contrary, the bat that came into contact with the pale yellow light emitted a sizzling sound from its black body. After a while, it fell to the ground and struggled endlessly. It seemed that it would not be able to survive.
But there were too many of these bats. Even the stars in the sky were covered by them. There were at least millions of them. Those who died on the ground were probably not even one in a million of them. Countless bats rushed forward wave after wave, surrounding the four of them in the middle. Although they were safe for the time being, there were terrifying bloody mouths all around them, and the stench almost made them want to vomit.
But Union Mirror was a Taoist treasure. Under the attack of countless of ferocious beasts, it did not show any sign of weakness. The yellow light circle seemed thin, but it stood like a mountain. After a while, the bodies of the bats piled higher and higher around the light circle.
At this moment, there were countless of black bats surrounding the light circle. It was not three layers inside and three layers outside, it was more like three hundred layers inside and three hundred layers outside. But the bats seemed to slow down their attack on the light circle. It seemed like they knew it was useless, so they did not continue to do useless things. But it seemed like these bats could not give up the delicious food, they still surrounded the light circle and refused to leave.
Shaw Danon's heart was shaken. He had never seen such ferocious beasts in his life. Even now, he was still nervous and afraid. He took back his eyes from the bats and saw Anan's face was also extremely pale.
At the same time, Anan also felt his eyes and looked at Shaw Danon. Their eyes met in the air.
Anan suddenly turned her head. Her pale face became even paler, but she did not turn her head back.
"Whoosh..."
Suddenly, all of the bats flapped their wings and flew up. Issa looked at them, then let out a sigh of relief, said: "So difficult-"
Before he could finish his sentence, he could not continue. The sky was filled with black clouds. Countless bats flew to high altitudes and suddenly turned around. The ones in front rushed down like hailstones and hit the halo of the Six Union Mirror. However, they were bounced back by the halo of the Six Union Mirror. Then, a mist of blood rose up and under the pale yellow light, they fell to the ground in pieces.
Dirty blood flowed everywhere. Countless of horrifying blood flowers appeared in the night, then fell to the ground. But the bats that came later seemed indifferent to the death of their own kind, still hit on the light circle. The four Jadeon's faces were pale, looking at this rare ferocious beast.
Around the light circle, soon, almost half a person's height of a thick pile of bat corpses was piled up.
Shaw Danon suddenly found that the back of his shirt was soaked with cold sweat.
No one knew how long this terrifying scene lasted. When the corpses of the bats outside the circle of light had piled up to the height of a person, the swarm of bats finally stopped their ferocious attack. At this moment, even the light from the Six Harmonies Treasured Mirror had dimmed a little. However, it still flickered in the dark night and stood tall.
The black clouds surrounded the only light in the night, still not willing to leave.
The four of them did not dare to close their eyes. Each of their hands held their own esper, did not dare to slack off.
But the bats did not seem to have any good method. They just surrounded the light circle, not willing to leave, but did not launch any attack.
This continued until dawn.
When the first ray of sunlight shone on the horizon, it was as if something was calling out to them. All of the bats suddenly flew up and circled in the air for a moment before flying back to the place they had flown out from last night. They came quickly and left even faster. In just a moment, the countless bats had disappeared.
The four Jadeon slowly relaxed. But after a long time, when Kevern was sure the bats will not come out again, he removed the Union Mirror.
The light circle disappeared.
With a muffled sound, the mountain of bat corpses around the four of them suddenly collapsed from all directions, drowning the four of them in this disgusting and terrifying river. At that moment, Shaw Danon's heart jumped. He thought he had stopped breathing. At the same time, he heard a scream from the person next to him. A jade hand reached out and grabbed his arm tightly.
The strength was so strong that the fingernails dug into his flesh through his clothes.
This pain drilled into his heart. He turned around and looked at the frightened and beautiful woman. Her pale face had a trace of panic in the morning sun, causing an inexplicable pain in his heart.
Suddenly, all the fear in his heart disappeared, even though he was still a little nervous, but his attention was attracted by Anan, as if in front of her, he could not cower.
He took a step forward and stood in front of her.
Anan's breathing slowly calmed down. She lifted her head, her lips moved, looked deeply at Shaw Danon's face, then let go of her hand.
