Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints Chapter 520 - Bats In Packs

Chapter 520 - Bats In Packs

Each bat wasn't big, only about the size of an adult's palm.

However, it was somewhat difficult to deal with a pack of bats.

Most importantly, Klein could already tell the species of the bat.

If he guessed correctly, the bats in the tree hole should be the legendary Vampire Black Bat.

Although the toxins on these bats weren't fatal, they ate human blood as food. Once someone entered, it was equivalent to a huge blood bag.

The Vampire Black Bats' buffet began as well.

It wouldn't be a big deal if there were only one or two of them sucking some blood, but these groups of bats were probably only willing to stop after sucking people dry.

Klein couldn't help but panic when he encountered something so difficult to deal with.

As he waved his clothes to chase away the bats, he also searched his backpack for a magic treasure that could counter the enemy.

According to his knowledge, the Vampire Black Bats weren't without weaknesses. Apart from being afraid of light, they were also afraid of fire.

Klein prepared to find some raw materials that could light a fire. As long as he had a torch in his hand, these things wouldn't dare to come near him.

Klein could still barely hold on, but James was already unable to.

Although he was wrapped up and crouching in a hidden spot, he couldn't see anything.

But these Vampire Black Bats were used to moving in the dark.

Although they couldn't see anything, their sense of smell and hearing were very sensitive.

As long as there were living people around, they could be found no matter where they hid.

As expected, James, who was hiding behind a large rock, was soon targeted by the bats.

They were bullies and were afraid of the strong. When they saw that Klein was resisting violently and couldn't get close for the time being, they fixed their gazes on James.

James felt dozens of wings vibrating beside him.

They were already gnawing on his clothes.

Although these bats didn't have strong gnawing abilities, the thin clothes they wore didn't seem to be able to last long. It would be gnawed off sooner or later...

James couldn't help but shout, "Klein, is there any way to drive them away? I'm about to be bitten by them!"

Although James's offensive abilities were considered strong, he had no idea when he encountered such a group of strange creatures.

Klein shouted, "Take off your clothes and chase them away. Also, I remember that you have wormwood on you, right?"

That's right, James liked smoking very much, and he liked to make his own special tobacco. Therefore, he had a lot of strange leaves and gra.s.s on him.

One of them was wormwood, which was often made into tobacco leaves. When ignited, it would cause no harm to the human body, and it was often used by James as a raw material.

Therefore, Klein had an idea and guessed that James must have brought this thing with him.

'I think I brought it with me. Is there any use for it?'

That would be easy to handle. Wormwood had a special smell.

Although it smelled refreshing to humans, to these Vampire Black Bats, it was a very pungent and unpleasant smell.

It seemed that cats were very resistant to the smell of orange peels. These Vampire Black Bats would usually stay far away from the smelly gra.s.s.

"Since you've brought it, take it out and crush it in your hands. It should be able to withstand it in the air for a while!"

Although this kind of wormwood to the Vampire Black Bats was indeed very smelly, it was not a fatal blow.

Although they could withstand it for a period of time, when the smell slowly dissipated, they would still stare at their hard-earned food.

Klein guessed that the wormwood on James wouldn't be used too much, and it would lose its effect once it was used up. Therefore, he could only hold on for a period of time.

The situation was critical, and James couldn't be bothered with anything else. He hurriedly took out a bag of wormwood,

He followed Klein's instructions and scattered it in the air.

As expected, the Vampire Black Bats immediately scattered the moment they smelled the pungent smell.

However, they still lingered around the two of them, unwilling to disperse. It seemed like they were still circling around.

At this moment, Klein had already taken out a device that could ignite a fire.

He casually picked up a wooden stick from the ground and tied his coat to the wooden stick to ignite it, forming a torch.

Klein waved the torch in the air, and as expected, the Vampire Black Bats fled far away as if they had seen a ghost.

Their fear of the torch far exceeded the excitement of the wormwood, so they definitely didn't dare to approach it.

Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Klein quickly ran to James' position.

"Quick, take the torch. I'll make another one, and the two of us will be safe for the time being!"

He didn't expect that the Vampire Black Bats, who were once extremely ferocious, would actually be afraid of something like fire?

James took the torch from Klein's hand, and sure enough, it had an unexpected effect.

Although the bats were still hovering in the air, unwilling to leave, they were temporarily unable to attack the two of them.

Klein guessed that as long as they held the torch, they wouldn't dare to get close. As time pa.s.sed, they felt bored, so the Vampire Black Bats left.

This could be considered to have temporarily resolved the crisis in front of them.

The two people with torches began to walk deeper into the tree hole.

Halfway through, the Vampire Black Bats flew away tactfully. Although they were unwilling, there was nothing they could do.

At that moment, James began to worry. He felt that the Vampire Black Bats were flying out.

Cruise, whom they had hidden and arranged properly, wouldn't be attacked, right?

Klein shook his head. "Probably not. These bats have their own territorial consciousness. They probably won't fly very far from where they live. Once they fly a certain distance and can't find any fresh food to eat, they'll return."

This was the worry in James's heart before he finally relaxed.

And they were already quite a distance away from where the Vampire Black Bats lived. They could put out the torches in their hands without worry.

At that moment, the two of them realized that the deeper they went, the colder the temperature became.

In addition, they had taken off their coats and turned them into torches. Their clothes were now thin, and they were shivering from the cold.

Thankfully, both of them were in good health and could barely hold on.

Klein explained that because there was no sunlight in this place all year round, coupled with the structural problems, it was extremely cold. This was a relatively normal natural phenomenon.

Klein guessed how they would reach the center of the tree. The temperature would reach a terrifying minus Celsius.

James was shocked. The temperature would drop to zero? With their current attire, they would probably freeze to death, right?

"Are you saying that the place we are at now isn't the center of the tree?"

Klein shook his head. Not only was it not the center. It was probably quite far from it.

They were probably just wandering around the periphery of the tree hole. The s.p.a.ce inside had already exceeded their imaginations.

At that moment, the two of them realized that there were many glowing rocks in front of them.
