051-year-old Bat King
Besides [Emperor Yao's Construction of Mao], Li Yu also gained something from [Trade Zone].
It wasn't [props] or [scrolls], but rather some crop seeds and fruit and vegetable seedlings.
Watermelon, chili, and pumpkin seeds; grape, apple, and walnut seedlings; and even dozens of strawberry seedlings.
The seeds were wrapped tightly in straw paper by the players, and the seedlings were also nurtured in soil by the players.
Upon seeing this, Li Yu offered some millet in exchange.
Since players discovered that they could bring out food from the [Moonlight Scroll], many things that shouldn't exist have appeared in this area.
For example, eggplant, which should have been introduced from India during the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasties;
The fig was originally introduced from West Asia during the Sui and Tang dynasties;
Sweet potatoes were originally introduced from Southeast Asia during the Ming Dynasty.
The [trade zone] was bustling with activity. Besides the plants, people were also unloading clothes, wine, meat, utensils, and weapons from the [moonlight scroll]...
Li Yu also heard a player complain that he grabbed a [Red Cannon] just before the [Scroll] was released, but unfortunately, the cannon didn't follow him out.
After carefully storing the seeds and spraying out the [Yellow Donkey Paper], Li Yu placed a pile of saplings on the donkey's back. Amidst the cheers of the players, he left [Sky Courtyard].
After walking quite a distance, they found a shady and secluded spot. Li Yu led his donkey into [Fanghu] and headed towards [Xianpu].
[Snake Princess] Jiang Yaya waters the plants right on time. [Thirteen Ants] slides around "whooshing" among the wet, winding leaves of [Gourd].
Seeing the little ones shouting and playing happily, Li Yu recalled what she had said when they first met: "I will work tirelessly day and night to repay your kindness."
Tsk tsk, so you repay me with "roller coasters" and "slides"?
Upon seeing the saplings and fruit seedlings on Li Yu's donkey back, [Thirteen Ants] immediately abandoned [Tuan Piao] and jumped over.
Li Yu and [Snake Princess] planted seeds and seedlings in [Fairy Garden] together, and [Thirteen Ants] pretended to be busy as well, almost getting buried in the soil several times.
[Thirteen Ants] loved those dozens of strawberry seedlings the most, circling around them back and forth. She caught all the little white worms on the seedlings and threw them into the small pond to feed the fish.
He still instructed [Snake Princess] to take care of her and water her, while Li Yu went out to level up using [Pot].
"Holy crap! Run! There's a huge thing coming!"
"Jump into the pit, all of you! Second brother, get down!"
"Third brother, your hands are covered in bat droppings, don't touch me!"
"Pull the door! Pull the door now!"
"..."
Before we even reached the [Bat Cave], we heard a commotion.
A few steps further, you can see a lot of burning wood scattered outside the [Bat Cave], crackling and popping.
Further out, a deep pit was dug out of the originally flat ground.
The deep pit was completely covered by a large iron gate, and countless bats swooped down from the sky and crashed into the gate.
The muffled thuds echoed one after another.
At the same time, there were shouts and screams from the players under the iron gate—
"Boss, I'm almost deaf!"
"Deaf girl, grab the handle, your side is a bit tilted!"
"Ouch, boss! My foot's been bitten!"
"Ptooey! Bite your sister! Third brother, you poked my mouth!"
"Brothers, I want to..."
"Big brother, I've reached level 30!"
"what?"
Li Yu dismounted his donkey and stood there to observe.
A swarm of bats poured out of the cave, a vast and overwhelming sight, numbering at least tens of thousands.
The colors include gray, blue, and white.
Gray and blue bats rushed forward one after another, risking their lives to smash into the door; white bats slashed through the door, their sharp claws flashing.
The repeated impacts only left the iron gate dented and battered.
The white bat's sharp claws left deep marks on the door.
The players in the pit were unaware of the impending danger, and cheers and shouts continued to erupt.
"Boss, I've reached level 32!"
"I'm 29, oh no! I'm 30 already!"
"I...I've made it into the top 100 of the rankings!"
"I'm number 88!"
"I'm 69cm!"
"Today is the day we five brothers will make our names and achieve great things!"
"Hahaha... Ah! What's that sound!"
Suddenly, an extremely sharp screech came from the [Bat Cave].
Even though Li Yu was a hundred feet away, he still felt as if his ears were being stabbed by swords, his head was ringing, and he felt nauseous.
The swarm of bats suddenly fell silent. Then the gray bats stopped banging on the door, and the white bats stopped waving their claws. They all flapped their wings and flew away from the iron gate.
A silver-white figure rushed out of the cave, and the gust of wind it generated pushed the burning wood several feet away.
A silvery-white shadow hovered above the iron gate.
--------
"The Thousand-Year-Old Bat King"
[Rank] Unknown.
[Attribute] Unknown.
--------
Li Yu's gaze sharpened, and he held his breath.
[The Thousand-Year-Old Prince Fu] folded his silver-white bat wings and gently landed on the iron gate.
The players beneath the iron gate, unaware of the impending doom, were still filled with doubt—
"Why am I still ranked 51st?"
"Hey, why is it so quiet outside? Why aren't those eaves rats running around anymore?"
The [Thousand-Year-Old Bat King] slashed with its front claws, and the iron gate seemed unmoved, but a shrill shout rang out from beneath it—
"Third Brother!"
[Bat King] flapped his wings, reached out with his claws, and split the iron gate in two, throwing it to the left and right.
Two players below screamed in horror as they were thrown out of the door, clutching the bottom handle.
Countless bluish-gray bats rushed over, engulfing the two men below and the three men in the pit.
After a few breaths, the swarm of bats dispersed, revealing five skeletons, a gruesome sight.
Li Yu lowered his head and looked down, as still as an old well, without a ripple.
The Thousand-Year-Old Bat King hovered at the cave entrance for a moment before leaping back into the cave. Thousands of bats followed, also returning to the cave.
Li Yu returned to Fanghu and read the Spring and Autumn Annals for half an hour before returning to the front of the Bat Cave.
Inside and outside the pit, the white bones remain.
A few pieces of wood in front of the cave, perhaps soaked in kerosene, were still crackling and burning.
Li Yu summoned [Skeleton Warrior Ding Gu] to help him bury the five skeletons in the deep pit.
Then, they killed one by one the hundreds of blue and gray bats that had crashed into the iron gate but survived and were crawling with broken wings.
"[System]: Congratulations to the player for defeating [30-year-old Green Bat], gaining 28 [Martial Arts] experience points."
"[System]: Congratulations to the player for killing [One-Armed Green Bat], gaining 136 [Martial Arts] experience points."
"..."
"[System]: Congratulations to the player for reaching level 47 in [Strength]."
It's been upgraded!
Looking at the "Martial Arts Rankings," he has already dethroned the original eighth-ranked [Yatsuki Mizutama Hime] and taken her place.
They went to rummage through the bat corpses and found two [round gourd seeds].
Li Yu was very satisfied. After making some adjustments, he ordered the bone horse to lure monsters and continue leveling up.
No players arrived until dusk.
Li Yu jumped into the South River, washed himself quickly, and then returned to Fanghu with Ding Gu to plant the three newly acquired Tuanpiao seeds in the Immortal Garden.
And by then, the strawberries were ripe.
[Thirteen Ants] had a bright red fruit on its head and was looking at him expectantly.
