Tie Qingyi held onto Tian Xin'er as they walked to Leng Qing's side. She then turned around to block the two of them behind her. As far as the eye could see, the two sides of the wall were filled with black fist-sized bats. Their black eyes were embedded in their pointed heads, emitting a strange dark red light from the fire.

Tie Qingyi shouted, "Miss Tian, quickly take out the Heaven's Spirit Pill. We must guard against the bats' poison."

Tian Xin'er touched her waist when she heard this. Unexpectedly, she found nothing. Her expression changed as she said, "Not good. Little White Robe, the Heavenly Spirit Pill is gone."

"I placed it between you and Leng Qing. Did you not see it?" Tie Qingyi quickly said: "Without the Heaven's Spirit Pill, Leng Qing will be in danger, quickly retreat."

At this time, the bats on the stone wall suddenly flapped their wings and rushed at the three people.

The bat's face was almost the same as a mouse's, and it also had a layer of fine fur on its body. Tian Xin'er was not afraid of anything, but seeing that her scalp was numb, she could not help but feel her heart palpitate. With a scream, she pulled Leng Qing and ran back.

Tie Qingyi threw away his sword and waved his palm. The six Hidden Elephant Palms drew an arc in the air as if space itself was vibrating with layers of invisible air.

At the same time, he pushed off the ground with his feet and flew out in quick succession. Although he was late, he arrived first. He grabbed the girl's and Leng Qing's arms with his two hands and retreated as if he was an arrow leaving the bow. Then, he grabbed onto the two of them as they flew through the air.

He then looked at the large group of bats colliding with the wall of air cast out by Tie Qingyi. With a strange sound, they all fell to the ground.

Tian Xin'er blurted out, "Amazing! Little White, what's the name of this gallop? It's an eye-opener. "

Tie Qingyi leisurely smiled and said: "The Cloud Step Art of the Star Gauze Clouds Steps. If you like it, I'll teach it to you."

"Really?" The lady was overjoyed.

Before Tie Qingyi could reply, Leng Qing suddenly opened her mouth and vomited: "Brother Tie, my head suddenly hurts."

"What's going on? "Brother Leng …" Halfway through her words, Tian Xin'er suddenly felt dizzy and hurriedly said, "Little White, I also feel extremely uncomfortable."

Turning their heads to the side, they looked at Tie Qingyi. Both she and Leng Qing held torches in their hands as they flew rapidly. The flames were blown away by the wind, illuminating the youth's face. Slowly, their speed slowed.

Tian Xin'er was shocked, "Little White, are you hurt?"

Tie Qingyi landed on the ground and released them, shaking her head: "No, the eighth floor was invaded by the poisonous gas after you escaped from the protection of the Heavenly Spirit Pill. Quickly bring Leng Qing to the fire, I will deal with these ugly things."

Tian Xin'er did not dare to delay any further and warned him, "Be careful!" He picked up Leng Qing again and ran towards the fire.

Fortunately, they were not far from the bonfire. In a moment, the two of them arrived beside it, panting. They saw that there was a porcelain bottle on the stone bed that was tightly held by Tie Qingyi with two pieces of stone. The moment they approached the porcelain bottle, both of them felt refreshed.

The lady turned around and saw Tie Qingyi's white robe fluttering in the distance. His palms flew up and down, and many bats fell down screaming. Not a single one of them could fly past where he was standing.

Leng Qing shouted, "Brother Tie, come back quickly. We're safe."

Tie Qingyi let out a long howl and said loudly: "Brother Tie can still hold on, let's kill these guys first."

Finally, in the violent wind of the palm, the shrill noise slowly faded away. The remaining bats no longer charged forward, instead flying into the darkness. Tie Qingyi flew back with a hearty laugh. Purple qi surrounded her entire body, not even a drop of blood touched her robe. Her skin was as white as before.

Leng Qing was amazed as she asked, "Brother Tie, aren't you afraid of the poison aura here?"

Tie Qingyi wiped her sweat with her sleeve and thought it to be strange. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Maybe using the Primordius technique to protect my body for a few hours would be fine?"

The lady picked up the porcelain bottle and passed it to Tie Qingyi. She then took out a handkerchief from her bosom and gently wiped the youth's face. She was gentle and considerate like a virtuous wife.

Tie Qingyi's face was flushed red. As she inhaled the fragrance of the Sky Spirit Pill, the disgust in her heart gradually subsided. She said, "Sky Spirit Pill is truly magical. It is said to be the only pill in this world." As he spoke, he took the opportunity to avoid the girl's tender feelings.

Leng Qing immediately said, "That's right, after I smelled it, my head didn't hurt that much." His internal energy was shallow, so naturally, his ability to resist poisons was low. He was not as strong as Tian Xin'er, who only felt slightly uncomfortable.

Tie Qingyi retreated, and a few more bats flew over. However, they arrived in front of the light red fog that was floating a few feet away from the bonfire. They circled around in the air a few times as if they were afraid, before turning around and flying away.

Tian Xin'er laughed, "Little White Robe, you're amazing. It seems like the bat is afraid. "But you have always been kind. How come you started killing now?"

Tie Qingyi said, "These bats, their eyes are flashing red. They are no ordinary bats." My master once mentioned that in the past, the travelling martial arts world had encountered something like this. It's called the Vampiric Bat. "However …"

Pointing to the red fog floating above the fire, he continued, "But it seems like my worries are unnecessary. This thing is dead and it's not afraid of me, but it seems to be extremely afraid of the red fog in the surroundings. "Even that one doesn't dare to run towards this direction. It's probably related to the poison aura here."

"Ha!" Tian Xin'er asked curiously, "The red fog is only drifting around. That means as long as we don't leave this place, no bats, monsters or anything else will dare to come here. It would be safer to rely on the poisonous gas here."

Tie Qingyi sighed, "This is where the wonders of the world lie. There are many strange things in this cave." However, the poisonous gas from the cave entrance prevented the things in the cave from crossing it. This kind of mutual suppression was not something that could be done by human means.

"Could it be that it wasn't done by Li Longzi?" Tian Xin'er asked doubtfully.

Tie Qingyi shook his head. "At first, I thought this was secretly built by Li Longzi, but now it seems like it might not be so. Perhaps he accidentally discovered this place, and the people who died in the cave might be related to him. "Hee hee …"

With a hollow laugh, a bright light flashed in his eyes as he continued: "However, Li Longzi had deliberately set me up to come here. I really want to see just what terrifying thing is hidden here that is worthy of his painstaking efforts in plotting against me."

"No matter what it is, Xin Er will always accompany you." Tian Xin'er was as gentle as water. Not only did she not feel any fear, but she was also secretly grateful towards Li Longzi's contradictory thoughts. If he didn't frame her, how would she have the chance to live and die together with her lover?

"I'll accompany you as well. Big brother Tie, you must stay close!" Leng Qing spoke up in time. The cave was filled with danger. If he were to take even half a step away from Tie Qingyi, his life would be in danger. His words were spoken with sincerity and from the bottom of his heart.

The burning light illuminated the lake's dark red water. Suddenly, a "bo" sound rang out, as if something had emerged from the water, and then quickly withdrew its head.

Tie Qingyi glanced over and suddenly raised his leg to kick the arrow that had been nocked near his leg. When the two of them fell down, the poison arrows that had been shot out from the hall were all knocked down by them.

The thing that was exposed on the surface of the pool had a vaguely round head, and was only the size of a palm. It looked like it was about to sink into the water. The poison arrow shot forward like a flaming meteor. With a "pu ci" sound, it stabbed into the thing's head and went straight into its feathers.
