90: Bloodthirsty Bats

At this moment, a soldier standing at the very front shouted loudly.

“The Otherworld is stable!”

“Everyone, enter in an orderly fashion, no arguing!”

A group of people echoed, “Understood.”

Clearly, they were very familiar with this process.

The soldier nodded, then with a wave of his hand, he led a team of people and stepped in without hesitation.

Several soldiers remained nearby, guarding the area, clearly to maintain order.

Immediately, another group of people quickly followed, entering one after another.

If they were a step too slow, the good things inside would be snatched by others!

Lin Shu and Bai Sheng’s group, however, were not in a hurry at all; after all, they weren't competing for resources, so taking their time was fine.

As everyone’s figures disappeared inside, the group also stirred, preparing to enter.

Snow Feather stood up and followed behind, clearly intending to accompany Lin Shu inside.

Evidently, Snow Feather, with her light attribute, played an indispensable key role in this environment; the Headmaster was truly thoughtful.

It was just that her full strength couldn't be unleashed, otherwise, this fragment-level Otherworld wouldn't be able to withstand such energy.

It could easily lead to space collapse.

Entering the light curtain, which was as black as ink, another wave of dizziness washed over them.

As his Mental strength continuously increased, Lin Shu no longer had much of a reaction.

Bai Sheng, on the other hand, plopped down on the ground, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

This Otherworld seemed to be shrouded in endless gloom; the land was silent, with no trace of life to be felt.

A dim moon hung high in the sky, emitting a faint and hazy light.

The light was barely there, but it was the only light source within.

In the darkness, jagged, grotesque rocks stood indistinctly, like silent guardians.

The wind howled, letting out an eerie moan that sent chills down one's spine.

In the distance, an indistinct mist slowly drifted, as if concealing terrifying and dangerous presences.

The entire environment gave off a mysterious and strange feeling.

At this moment, Snow Feather’s body glowed brightly, and dazzling beams of light burst forth.

From a distance, she looked like an oversized light bulb.

However, the effect was remarkably significant; the visible space greatly increased, allowing them to see pebbles several meters ahead with perfect clarity.

Xu Lihuang’s body emitted light, and a Mandala Snake immediately appeared in their line of sight.

Everyone also summoned their own companion beasts at this moment.

Beside Lin Shu, Black Night Saturn and Ziyu appeared one by one.

Black Night Saturn was thriving in this environment, like a fish in water, being a dark-attribute creature that loved such places the most.

However, Saturn and Ziyu felt a bit uncomfortable, making them feel deeply uneasy.

Bai Sheng looked at the Heavenly Lightning beside him, then at Lin Shu.

He still only had one companion beast, while Lin Shu already had three, and it didn't even affect the speed of his companion beasts' upgrades.

He couldn't help but sigh, the gap was truly growing wider and wider... Bai Yufan also couldn't help but glance at Lin Shu a few more times upon seeing this scene; he was indeed extraordinary, able to contract three companion beasts at such a young age, just as Bai Sheng had said, truly a rare Talent in companion beasts.

Then Bai Sheng spoke in a gentle voice.

“Then let’s part ways here.”

“I just plan to wander around the periphery.”

His original intention was to accumulate some combat experience for Heavenly Lightning, so he naturally wouldn't delve too deep.

“Alright then.”

Lin Shu, on the other hand, wanted to accumulate more proficiency, so he definitely had to go deeper, otherwise, he wouldn't encounter high-level companion beasts.

Immediately, Lin Shu, Xu Lihuang, and Snow Feather walked forward.

Bai Sheng and Bai Yufan walked to the right, a flicker of light blooming between them, illuminating the path ahead.

The path beneath their feet was rugged and uneven.

The faint moonlight, almost imperceptible, spilled onto the ground, casting a subtle, silvery-grey sheen.

Withered trees stretched their twisted branches, like desperate arms reaching towards the sky.

The entire journey was filled with an eerie and gloomy atmosphere.

Lin Shu looked relaxed, his gaze constantly scanning the surroundings, searching for traces of companion beasts.

Xu Lihuang, however, was extremely cautious, with a hint of nervousness; the environment here made him feel uneasy.

The few companion beasts didn't seem to be affected, merely looking around aimlessly.

Just then, the silence was instantly broken.

A group of black-grey Bloodthirsty Bats swarmed from all directions; they danced around Snow Feather’s light, emitting sharp screeches.

They circled in the air, stirring up a chilling wind that immediately made people uncomfortable.

Yet, they never dared to step into the circle of light.

Immediately, the scene shifted into a combat state; numerous companion beasts stepped forward directly, surrounding Lin Shu in the middle.

Snow Feather watched the interesting little bats in the sky with amusement, her face full of playfulness; clearly, these bats were too weak and posed no threat at all.

[Name]: Bloodthirsty Bat

[Level]: LV7

[Level Cap]: LV23

[Status]: Frightened

[Quality]: Common

[Attribute]: Dark

[Talent]: None

[Skills]: Junior — Ram - Minor Accomplishment (11/30) • Claw Strike - Beginner (15/20)

Their strength was terrifyingly weak; this group of Bloodthirsty Bats was generally below level 10, merely wild and untamed, prone to baring their fangs and claws.

Although they came in swarms and could pose some threat, for Lin Shu, they were merely proficiency points delivered to his doorstep.

With a flick of his eyes, Black Night Saturn immediately understood.

His body soared high, and in the blink of an eye, he plunged into the black maelstrom, beginning a journey of slaughter.

With a lift of Black Night Saturn’s hand, silver-white light flashed, and an invisible ripple slashed out from the air.

Immediately, a large amount of blood gushed forth.

The Bloodthirsty Bats fell one by one from the sky like dumplings.

Black Night Saturn took them down one by one, like cutting grass; the remaining Bloodthirsty Bats were scared out of their wits and immediately vanished into the darkness.

They were quite clever, actually knowing to flee.

Black Night Saturn did not recklessly pursue them but descended from the air, returning to Lin Shu’s side.

This wave yielded 56 proficiency points, bringing the total to 112.

Bloodthirsty Bat, you are truly a good friend!

Lin Shu was extremely satisfied with this.

Xu Lihuang looked at the Bloodthirsty Bats that had disappeared into the darkness and said in a deep voice.

“Such strong aggressiveness.”

“It certainly continues the style of the Realm of Utmost Darkness.”

Lin Shu agreed with this statement; the document also explained some special Otherworlds.

Strong aggressiveness was good; that way, he wouldn't have to go to great lengths to search.

They continued to walk forward.

In the gloomy environment, who knew how many companion beasts were hidden within.

Ready to ambush the passing crowd at any time.

In unexplored Otherworlds like this, the interior would generally be divided into three situations.

The first type is like the current situation, where the companion beasts are extremely aggressive, bloodthirsty, and violent.

Combined with environmental factors, they pose a life-threatening danger.

The second type is slightly more normal, like Meihu Island, resembling a tourist destination with a harmonious environment.

The third type is the most special, as there might be the existence of foreign races within.

There were also a few records in the document, stating that foreign races are divided into three classes.

Namely, servants, commoners, and nobles.

Servants must unconditionally obey any command from nobles, including death.

The method of distinguishing the powerful and noble among them is the simplest.

Compound surnames indicate a noble of the Otherworld...
