Chapter 2214 - 2207: Catch Me If You Can

The realm breakers trapped in this sinister place for nearly half a year have tried every conceivable method.

They attempted to use formations against these bats and also tried deploying technological weapons.

Indeed, they killed tens of thousands of bats, but these bats don’t count as real life forms; they’re merely an ideological aggregate.

After the bats are killed, the energy still floats around and is absorbed through the cracks of that large door. Shortly afterward, another swarm of bats surges forth, endless and infinite.

As long as the will of the soul within this underground space does not dissipate, these bats can never truly be killed. They will endlessly regenerate within this space, making all the efforts futile.

Apart from them, the remaining individuals have died one after another within a few months due to the soul absorption by these bats, adding more sculptures condensed from Supreme Crystal to this space.

As for these realm breakers, they have nearly reached their limits. Their elixirs or concoctions are depleted, and once these are exhausted, they can only rely on their abilities to restore physical strength and energy. But considering the energy consumption rate of this small tower, even if they take turns, the energy of the first one will not fully recover by the time the cycle completes.

After several cycles, everyone’s energy reserves have dwindled to just ten or twenty percent.

At this rate of consumption, in at most three days, they will be utterly spent, inevitably becoming easy targets for the bats.

Zhang Menglong’s revival seems to offer a glimmer of hope for survival; surely he must possess a special treasure that keeps the bats from attacking him!

"Young man, why don’t these bats attack you?" an anxious middle-aged man asked, "Do you have some special treasure on you that you can share with us?"

"That’s right, as long as you can help us escape this dreadful place, we will surely reward you handsomely."

"I can offer you an enrollment slot in our academy. I’m an elder at the academy; if you have my backing, it’s even possible for our dean to take you as a disciple. He is a supreme stronghold at the realm breaker peak!"

"Little brother, although I’m not affiliated with any academy, the power of our family is no weaker than an academy. I also have a daughter, blossoming and graceful. If you’re interested, I could introduce you."

To extract some valuable information from Zhang Menglong, nearly everyone pulled out all the stops, willing to wager anything.

"I don’t have any special treasures," Zhang Menglong pulled out the Soul-Cutting Sword, "Look, you can see I only have this. At first, you all saw me killing many bats with this sword, yet they still attacked me, didn’t they? Wasn’t I unconscious before?"

The others nodded; Zhang Menglong wasn’t lying. They had seen him rampaging, and then, inexplicably, he’d fallen to the ground, unconscious. Now, upon waking, he was as they saw him.

"I’m quite puzzled myself," Zhang Menglong naturally didn’t intend to tell them everything he’d just experienced, "It felt like I had a very long dream, and upon waking, the bats suddenly stopped attacking me."

Thinking about it, Zhang Menglong suddenly laughed, "Maybe after being attacked by these bats, my body underwent some mutation. I might already be Batman now."

"Did these bat attacks really change his body? Why haven’t others woken up?"

Looking at others frozen within Supreme Crystals, "Little brother, if you have any information to provide, please don’t hide it!"

They contemplated, perhaps Zhang Menglong unintentionally did something special during this time, leading to different outcomes for him and others.

"Well..." Zhang Menglong pretended to ponder, "Before I fainted, I seem to have picked my nose. Why don’t you try it?"

"Utter nonsense!" They were nearly certain Zhang Menglong didn’t want to tell them the truth, and some instantly became infuriated.

"Kid, I advise you to best reveal this secret to us, or once I’m out, I’ll ensure you neither live nor die comfortably!" The person who previously forced a transcender to use soul power to open the door threatened again.

"Are you threatening me?" Zhang Menglong’s gaze became dangerously sharp; he was already quite displeased with this person, whose every action challenged Zhang Menglong’s moral bounds.

"Whether you can leave here alive is another matter!" Zhang Menglong sneered coldly.

"Then I’ll kill you first!" The brute may have no way to deal with the bats, but dealing with a human shouldn’t be difficult at all.

He directly leaped out from the protection of the Ancient Tower, charging at Zhang Menglong.

He was actually quite intelligent; although it seemed he was acting rashly because of Zhang Menglong’s provocative words, he was actually trying to find and snatch whatever it was protecting Zhang Menglong.

If whatever he had to resist the bats was singular, he could seize it first.

As soon as he emerged, those bats converged on him like guided missiles.

"Damn it, bullying me?" Although Zhang Menglong could handle a high-level transcender, his strength was likely still extremely inadequate against a realm breaker.

"Get him!" Zhang Menglong pointed forward, and the bats unwilling to disperse around him suddenly flew toward the realm breaker. Zhang Menglong could actually command these bats!

Everyone was startled; Zhang Menglong indeed has something unusual, not only do the bats not attack him, but they obey his command!

That realm breaker had to immediately change direction; he might be able to kill them, but his soul would inevitably be drained some by the bats.

"Bring more!" Zhang Menglong tried communicating with the soul power of this space, and more bats flew out from the slit in the door, even several times the current number!

Under the attacks of these bats, the realm breaker had to constantly switch his flight direction, making it impossible to approach Zhang Menglong for a while, let alone catch him. Zhang Menglong kept controlling the bats to intercept him, looking quite relaxed under pursuit, as if he were merely teasing him.

"Want to catch me?" Zhang Menglong taunted, "Let’s play a game; chase me, and if you catch me, I’ll let you hehehe!"
