The buzzing grew louder and louder.
Through the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Ye Qiu could vaguely make out red shadows rapidly approaching.
He soon understood why the frequency of that sound had seemed so fast to his spiritual senses.
Because the creatures flying toward them were not one or two.
They were a swarm.
A swarm of at least a thousand.
As they drew closer, the flying creatures finally became clear.
They were blood-red bats.
Like miniature versions of the blood-patterned creatures that had been left on the floor of the Hell Slaughter Arena earlier.
Each Blood Bat was about a foot long.
Yet when its enormous wings spread open, they spanned more than a meter.
One or two Blood Bats were nothing, of course. But when thousands appeared at once, they resembled a red cloud.
They flew rapidly toward Ye Qiu and Hu Liena.
By now, Hu Liena's expression had turned ugly.
She held her dagger before her chest.
"What do we do, Ye Qiu?" she asked gravely.
Ye Qiu remained calm. "If soldiers come, we'll block them with generals; if water comes, we'll stop it with earth. Back to back, we'll hold them off."
"Alright."
In this situation, there was no possibility of fleeing.
Hu Liena spun around swiftly and moved behind Ye Qiu, pressing her body directly against his back.
Her perky butt happened to press against the lower part of Ye Qiu's rear, and the sudden elasticity nearly cracked his disciplined focus.
Feeling Ye Qiu tremble slightly, Hu Liena could not help blushing. Red-faced, she shifted back a little, no longer pressing herself as tightly against him as before.
No matter how exceptional she was, she was still a woman.
In this unknown and terrifying environment, she naturally developed an absolute sense of dependence on Ye Qiu.
