Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1041 1023. Territory division?

What are these things?

Huge and vicious vampire bats, and giant spiders that are bigger than normal adult humans.

Neither of these monster images is unfamiliar to Lan En.

Magical medieval vampire creatures, as well as shape-shifting spiders, are very similar to them in appearance and intimidation.

But now the behavior of these two creatures made Lan En keenly aware that they were not simple monsters.

Most monsters are irrational things that expand their territories and attack other creatures for the sake of appetite.

But now, vampire bats and giant spiders are showing a clear tendency to cooperate.

Vampire bats use their flight speed and altitude to chase the target in front and harass them.

The giant spiders followed closely behind, advancing from one tree to another among the dense branches.

Two kinds of monsters that are impossible to defeat and should attack or ignore each other are cooperating, which means that they are definitely not ordinary wild creatures.

But Lan En did not ask the sloppy old man leading the race.

After all, if these two monsters became household names in this world, the question he asked would seem a bit too stupid.

"Squeak!"

Logically speaking, vampire bats flying in the sky should not be able to perform well in a dense and complex forest environment.

But they were very smart and flew directly above the forest canopy. After identifying the target with their sharp perception, they swooped down to harass and attack.

This kind of movement is very efficient.

The vampire bat swooped down from the sky and ran directly in front of Lan En, ready to attack the sloppy old man!

Lan En sat on Qilin's back, rising and falling with the movement of Qilin's hooves.

There was a soft 'click' sound, his left finger moved slightly, and the mechanism on the left arm armor was also closed.

As long as he thought about it, in an instant, supersonic projectiles would be ejected from the mechanical structure and hit the diving bat.

But he didn't do that.

He wanted to see what this scruffy old man with a staff would do.

What happened to the magic in this world? Huh? !

Before Lan En could finish his thoughts, his eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly in surprise.

"You minions and lackeys of darkness! Get away!"

I saw the sloppy old man on the wooden sled, cursing angrily.

Lan En thought he was about to cast a spell, but it turned out...

"Bang!"

While the vampire bat swooped down, the old man swung the staff directly and hit the base of the vampire bat's wing with the stick!

The stick technique of accurately hitting the target position on the fast-moving sled with uneven ground made Lan En feel a little numb.

Isn’t this how local mages operate?

However, no matter what happened to the local mage, the result was always good.

The big bat, which was hit at the base of its wing by the head of the crystal staff, immediately lost its stable flight posture, screamed and fell to the ground with the force of the dive.

Then there was a 'click', and the Qilin following behind stepped on it with its big hooves.

The combined weight of the ancient dragon and the witcher, even without any deliberate force, still crushed its entire ugly head into a puddle of meat.

"They're not that strong."

Through the pedaling tactile feedback just now, Mentos has projected a series of data on Lan En's retina.

Including the bone strength, muscle strength, etc. of vampire bats.

Although it may not be mixed with extraordinary power, these statistics are really not high in Lan En's eyes.

So the witcher just glanced behind him, where the corpse of the vampire bat whose head had been trampled to pieces, with only its hind limbs and wing membranes still twitching nervously, shouted towards the wooden sled in front of him.

"Maybe we can kill some of them and drive them away?"

The flannel ball jumped out from Qilin's back and rushed to the tree trunk next to it.

The current traveling speed is not too fast, and with the agility of a kitten, I can keep up, but it is not very durable.

"Bad thing, meow! Watch your moves!"

The flannel ball meowed.

These vampire bats and giant spiders are completely different from the mindless appearance of ordinary monsters. Taking advantage of the vampire bats' several attacks and harassment, some of the giant spiders that were supposed to be chasing after them unexpectedly came up from the sides!

In the dense and dark forest, a spider the size of a small horse suddenly jumped out from the deep gaps between the branches!

Their sharp jointed limbs even broke the tough branches rich in moisture as easily as dry rotten wood during the process of rushing out!

There is turbid venom hanging on the ferocious and vicious mouthparts and chelicerae, and droplets are thrown out with the movement.

It came in from the side and bit the Qilin's flank with its basketball-sized head. At the same time, the long and sharp limbs were already dancing in the air.

After the mouth bites firmly, it uses its jointed limbs to gather the entire prey into its arms.

This is an efficient and brutal hunting technique of arthropods.

But it's a pity.

It's obviously not as fast as a kitten.

"Uhhh!!!"

Different from ordinary spiders, this giant spider has a vocal organ, so it can also make an ear-piercing scream.

When the velvet ball flashed across the intertwined branches.

At the same time, the Thundercat sword made of Valyrian steel mixed with Kirin's electrified mane also flashed past, and the tip of the sword penetrated directly into the connection between the giant spider's head and body!

Velvet Ball is very good at dealing with spiders. It is a cat that grew up in the Miasma Valley of the New World. In that difficult living environment, spiders are even a very nutritious food.

For giant spiders, the velvet ball is small in size, but after being equipped with steel weapons, it is lethal enough to take away the lives of its prey.

In fact, ever since Velvet Ball came to various different worlds, it always felt that the various monsters in its hometown of the New World were much more difficult to kill. After all, those monsters had too strong vitality.

Unlike these otherworldly monsters, as long as they poke in the right place, they will die quickly.

The blade of the Thunder Cat Sword pierced the spider's carapace, and the arc carried by the blade was discharged from the inside, causing the giant spider to lose control of its body the moment it was stabbed.

He fell straight out of mid-air.

The kitten used the body of the giant spider as a pedal. The body that was originally hanging on the hilt of the sword jumped again. While jumping to the branch next to it, it also pulled out the Thunder Cat Sword stuck in the seam of the spider's carapace.

The explosive power of [Light Body Breathing Technique] allows the flannel ball to not only take care of both sides of the unicorn, but also jump forward at this speed.

Next to the sloppy old man's sleigh, he jumped into the air and cut off half of the wings of a vampire bat that was attacking him.

The flannel ball's swift and sharp figure flashed back and forth around the sled and Qilin, like a floating elf.

"Good job! Kitten!"

The sloppy old man looked back in surprise and fondness at the velvet ball that, after exploding for a while, landed on Qilin's back again, gasping for air.

Then, he responded to Lan En's question just now.

"They are countless in number, and the minions of darkness will never show mercy or retreat. They will never be finished!"

"But we are almost there. If we run a little longer, they won't chase us out."

Lan En didn't know what 'almost there' meant.

Arriving at some safe fortress? Or something else?

But since the sloppy old man looked confident and not nervous, the demon hunter was ready to follow the locals.

It's exactly what the sloppy old man said.

At first, the vampire bats and giant spiders behind me were chasing him very closely, but the further they ran forward, the less persistent they became in their pursuit.

At first, there were still occasional pauses and hesitations during the chase, but later they simply watched the targets in front of them run away, while they turned around and returned to the way they came.

"Okay, okay, slow down! My old bones can't stand the constant bumps!"

The sloppy old man looked as if he was familiar with the road. After the monsters chasing him turned around and returned, he also pulled the reins to slow down the seven or eight big rabbits pulling the wooden sled.

Finally come to a complete stop.

Lan En frowned slightly. This old man seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding with those monsters?

But he also tugged on the unicorn's mane to slow it down.

and

Lan En's hand that was originally holding Qilin's mane loosened and he opened his palm and raised it.

The bright sunlight shines through the dense canopy above the forest, and it feels warm and pleasant in the palm of your hand.

Although the surrounding trees were still dense and lush, they somehow lost the oppressive and psychedelic feeling that seemed to make people lack oxygen just now.

In the forest just now, even the light path illuminated by the sun and the fine dust floating in it made people feel turbid and dangerous.

Obviously nothing has changed, but the atmosphere is so different!

Is this difference in atmosphere the division of territory?

Lan Enwu thought to himself about the strange phenomena in this world.

On the other side, the sloppy old man who had completely stopped the sled had already got out of the car, holding his strong staff and walking towards Lan En.

"Radagast, at your command."

The old man raised his face, politely took off his sloppy hat, and bowed slightly to Lan En.

This seems to be a common greeting in the local area?

Lan En was stunned for a moment, and then his social talent allowed him to easily learn the subtle movements and tone characteristics of this greeting in an instant.

Like a veteran who has long been used to it.

He naturally dismounted and greeted the other party.

"Lan En, at your command."

The condescending view allowed the witcher to see clearly that the dried plaster-like thing on the side of Radagast's forehead should really be bird droppings.

Because when he took off his hat to say hello, three little birds flew up from his head, circling and singing.

The birds made a nest in the hair under the hat.

This made Lan En even more sure that the other party was not an ordinary person. After all, Radagast didn't really have a strong odor on him!

At this time, the flannel ball also jumped off the saddle and looked up at the boss.

It does not have the gift of instantly becoming a veteran in some ritual.

So Lan En took advantage of the situation and naturally stretched out his hand and patted the flannel ball on the head.
