Chapter 14
The Giant Ecosystem

The thing flew silently, luckily Zhang Yun Feng was vigilant and noticed it immediately.

“Yun Guan, over there!” Zhang Yun Feng pointed towards the darkness.

The young man immediately turned on his flashlight and shone it in that direction.

Under the dim flashlight, everyone could finally see that it was a giant bat, with a wingspan of over three meters!

It was like a small helicopter!

Except for its size, this big bat was no different from the common bats.

“My god, when did bats get so big?” Hei Bei Lao Liu opened his mouth wide, his face full of horror.

Zhang Da Fo Ye raised his gun and fired, after several shots, one bullet hit the bat's wing.

It immediately created a hole, but this injury was nothing to the bat.

Soon, the bat swooped down towards everyone’s heads.

Zhang Yun Feng raised his black gold ancient saber, ready to cut it down.

Unexpectedly, the bat suddenly turned sharply and flew towards the body of the large insect on the ground.

It was happily eating right in front of everyone.

It turned out that the bat was here to eat the insect’s corpse, making everyone panic for nothing.

More and more bats flew in from the darkness, they swarmed to the corpses of the two insects, feasting happily.

Everyone was stunned, racking their brains trying to understand why the bats grew so big.

Was it because of the abundance of food here?

Or was it due to environmental factors?

None of this could be known.

At this time, most of the people in the expedition team had already escaped from the crack, leaving only Er Yue Hong who was covering the rear.

Seeing everyone withdraw, Er Yue Hong stepped out of the crack and waved to Zhang Yun Feng and the others: “Hurry, leave!”

Zhang Da Fo Ye didn’t hesitate, immediately left with Zhang Ri Shan, Hei Bei Lao Liu followed closely behind.

Seeing this, the young man immediately patted Zhang Yun Feng “Hurry, leave!”

Zhang Yun Feng didn’t delay, but before leaving, he chopped down a bat that was eating the insect with a single slash of his saber.

The bat was cut in half, letting out a “shriek, shriek, shriek” cry, flapped its wings for a while before it died.

“Kill an Ancient Bat, Achievement Point Reward 5000!”

The other bats were too busy eating, they didn’t pay any attention to this.

“So it’s an Ancient Bat, no wonder it’s so big…” Zhang Yun Feng muttered to himself as he walked.

What he couldn’t understand was why the bats could live for so long?

Ordinary bats only live for twenty or thirty years.

Those who live a little longer can live for forty or fifty years, but they can’t possibly live beyond fifty years, while these big bats, they must have lived for thousands of years.

Things here were just too strange!

Soon, the few of them reached the crack.

Just then!

A sound of bat screams came from behind.

The young man also heard the sound, he immediately stopped and shone his flashlight towards that side.

He immediately saw a sight that made his scalp tingle!

He saw that an enormous owl, with a wingspan of four or five meters, about the size of a medium-sized helicopter, had flown in from the darkness, at some unknown time.

This giant owl was holding a bat and was happily eating it, its eyes were as big as fists.

Like the bat, this giant owl, except for its size, was not much different from a common owl.

“It seems that there must be something special in this cave that allows creatures to grow very large and live for a very long time, it has already formed a giant creature ecosystem…” Zhang Yun Feng muttered to himself.

He suddenly wanted to enter the interior of the meteorite to see what was going on, but he was worried that it might be too dangerous.

Reason quickly overcame his curiosity:

“Forget it, I’ll come back here to explore when I’m strong enough, there’s no need to rush in now…”

Half an hour later, a few of them returned to the stone chamber.

But things had changed inside!

Countless rooster-crested snakes poured out from the holes in the walls, attacking everyone like a tide, over a dozen people had already died!

Fortunately, it was all the traitors who died, the leaders of the Nine Gates were back to back, protecting each other as they retreated.

However, there were also countless rooster-crested snakes outside, directly blocking their way out!

In the chaos, Hei Bei Lao Liu swung a large machete, killing in all directions, clearing a path for everyone, pushing back the snake tide that stood in their way.

The others each held torches, pushing back the menacing snakes, for a while, there were no serious casualties.

Zhang Yun Feng quickly rushed forward, swinging the black gold ancient saber and slashing wildly, instantly killing dozens of snakes.

At this time, there were already dozens of people standing on the suspension bridge.

The rock spikes that fixed the bridge began to loosen, a few of them were directly broken, and the entire suspension bridge collapsed instantly!

The moment the bridge collapsed, it crushed the earthen jars underneath, the Corpse King in the jars, all flapped their wings and flew up!

Seeing this, everyone’s heart sank, because they knew – disaster was upon them!

Before they could even reach the exit, countless insects flew up, instantly knocking down several people!

The seven or eight people who were knocked down were the ones without torches.

After being knocked down by the insects, their bodies erupted with red rash, which quickly spread all over their bodies!

It wouldn’t be long before their skin would melt, turning them into bloody corpses!

Hei Bei Lao Liu was also almost instantly killed by the Corpse King, fortunately, his swordsmanship was swift, he chopped down the insects flying towards him.

“Fire, the insects are afraid of fire!” Zhang Yun Feng reminded loudly.

As he spoke, he had already rushed to the back of the team.

Huo Xian Gu was also at the back of the team, seeing the two masters come over, she clearly relaxed a bit.

The people in front heard his words and quickly took out their torches and lit them.

Sure enough, when the insects saw the torches, they could only hover around, not daring to go forward.

Under the cover of the torches, the people in front quickly rushed to the entrance, then quickly climbed down the rope with all their might.

The entrance was narrow, only one person could go down at a time, which made the people behind shout in a hurry, almost going crazy.

In such a dangerous place, everyone wanted to escape quickly.

Those who couldn’t escape were as anxious as ants on a hot pan!

Huo Xian Gu’s two assistants also wanted to escape quickly, so they abandoned her without any care, squeezing into the crowd.

This resulted in Huo Xian Gu being surrounded by insects and poisonous snakes without torches!

Huo Xian Gu gritted her teeth in anger: “Shameless things, you dare to leave this old lady behind!”

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, in a fit of rage, she pulled out a dagger and stabbed the Huo assistant in front of her!

The other Huo assistant, seeing this, pulled out his gun and wanted to kill her.

However, this woman was really quick, before the other could pull the trigger, her dagger plunged into the man’s palm.
