Chapter 24

Seeing the light in the cave begin to dim, Hopper’s heart suddenly rang with alarm bells.

He hurriedly spread his eight legs and ran in the direction of the cave entrance.

But before he had run far, Hopper sprinting posture came to a halt, because he saw the reason the sky was ‘dark’.

It was not because of a floating cloud in the night sky, blocking out the moonlight. It was a giant bat that was flying in from outside the cave, its massive flapping wings blocked most of the cave entrance.

With some of the moonlight that shone into the cave through the gaps, Hopper could vaguely see some features of this giant bat.

It was different from the giant red-eyed silver-winged bat from before. The fur and wings of this giant bat were golden and shiny.

Its abdomen and wings had the same strange patterns as the blood-sucking scarlet-eyed silver-winged bat.

However, those patterns were not scarlet like blood. They were strange and mysterious lilac. The lilac patterns that covered its entire body were imprinted under its golden fur.

It looked like a king wearing a golden robe with purple gemstones strung on it. It had villi of gold and silver, with matching streaks between the ears. It also had a blood-red horn.

From a distance, it looked as if it was wearing a crown, with a brilliant ruby at the center, appearing gorgeous and noble.

“This must be the bat-king that rules the scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats?”

The purple-striped golden-winged bat is very different from the red-eyed silver-winged bats I met before.

Hopper determined that it was the king of the scarlet-eyed silver-winged bat and also the ruler of this area.

“I’ve killed so many of its people, I think it won’t let me off easily.”

“Other than the way I came, my understanding of the crypt is definitely not as good as the one that rules this area.”

“Since that’s the case, why not give it a try and see if I can break out of the crypt.”

“If I can shift the battlefield to the jungle outside the cave, even if I can’t beat it, I can still use the spider web and spider silk to restrict its movements with the trees in the jungle.”

After quickly mapping out the next course of action in his mind, Hopper set his target at the jungle not far away from the cave entrance.

He once again used his eight spider legs and started sprinting at full speed.

At this time, the purple-striped golden-winged bat that had just returned from hunting was preparing to return to its nest.

It also noticed the spider that was charging towards it not too far away.

Having already eaten its fill, it originally thought that this dessert was dispensable.

However, when it smelled a familiar scent from Hopper’s thick bloody scent. The purple-striped golden-winged bat’s expression gradually became grave.

It seemed to suspect that its sense of smell had gone wrong.

Then, monstrous killing intent surged out from its pitch-black eyes.

It had already confirmed that the familiar smell was the scent of its people and subordinates. It could even smell the scent of the child it loved the most.

They had returned to their nest early, so they should have been killed by this spider!

After the purple-striped golden-winged bat realized this, its wings suddenly shone with purple light.

As it suddenly flapped its wings, a huge light purple wind blade was released from between its wings.

“It really has a skill related to cutting!”

When he saw the smooth and even broken surface of the stone spike and stone pillar earlier, Hopper guessed that it was caused by the purple-striped golden-winged bat before him.

The huge wind blade that came menacingly at this moment also confirmed his guess.

Hopper, who had been prepared for this move, shot out a spiderweb from his abdomen and pulled himself up the slope.

His previous position was immediately plowed over by the huge wind blade. It completely cut the already miserable human corpses into pieces.

“This frequency is… its wind blade also has a high-frequency vibration?”

With the help of the spider silk, Hopper, who was floating in the air, also noticed the destructive effect of the huge wind blade.

“I can only gamble!”

After discovering the characteristics of the opponent’s skill, Hopper, who had landed on the slope, did not choose to climb up. Instead, he shot spider silk upwards.

With the help of the spider silk, he moved quickly towards the cave entrance, allowing Hopper to once again dodge the two wind blades that the violet-striped golden-winged bat had thrown out.

At this moment, he was less than ten meters away from the purple striped golden bat, and the cave entrance was right behind it!

“As long as I dodge the next wind blade, I’ll be able to swing out of the cave and shift the battlefield into the jungle. When that time comes… Oh shit!”

Crawling on the slope, Hopper had already aimed at the gap between the purple striped golden bat and the cave entrance.

But this time, the purple striped golden bat did not light up its wings, but the blood-red sharp horn on its head!

Upon seeing this, Hopper hurriedly jumped back.

In the air, it raised its abdomen and shot out several spider webs at the purple-striped golden bat.

Then, Hopper turned around and shot out more spider silk, swinging into the cave.

Squeak!

Just as Hopper’s spider webs were about to cover the purple-striped golden bat, the purple-striped golden bat emitted a sharp whistle that resounded throughout the entire cave.

It immediately shattered the spider webs in front of it that had a ‘High-frequency Vibration’ attached to them.

Then, like a raging storm, it blew into the cave.

The corpses and bones on the ground were instantly shattered into pieces of flesh and bone.

Hopper, who was swinging on his spider silk, was also blown away by the whistling sound wave that followed.

He was floating in the air, and he was so shocked that he could not control his body and directly crashed into the wall of the cave.

Hopper, who felt that his entire body was almost shattered, struggled to get up from the ground.

He used his spiked front foot to poke at a piece of the crimson-eyed silver-winged bat’s corpse that was scattered beside him and bit it hard.

“Looks like I won’t be able to get out for a while! I have to think of a way to get rid of this guy first!”
