Chapter 213: Ice Bats Arrive

"Lady Sophia, it is indeed not safe to use this teleportation array to send people again. I agree with Galdo's opinion and attack from outside the wall." Lorenzo replied.

"Tell me your reasons!"

"Sir, the enemy has discovered this teleportation array, and it will inevitably attract more and more enemies. There is no concealment in attacking from here. In this case, I have a suggestion. Why don't we make some bigger noise to attract all the enemies in the castle? This way, it will be much easier for Galdo and others to break in from the outside." Lorenzo suggested.

"Bigger movement?"

"For example, things like summoned creatures. As long as we send these summoned creatures to the opposite side, we will definitely cause enough trouble to the enemy. Moreover, even if the teleportation array goes wrong again, we will not suffer any major losses."

Sophia rested her chin on her hand, seeming to consider the feasibility of doing so.

"I do know a summoning spell that can summon a few wolves." Lorenzo glanced at Russell, "Priest Russell should also know this kind of magic, right?"

"This... summoning creatures?" Russell seemed to be enlightened by Lorenzo's suggestion. He suddenly said eagerly: "Lady Sofia, do you still remember the last experiment on the ice elemental plane? We can use the formation we used last time to connect to the ice elemental plane and directly summon those ice bats."

Lorenzo laughed in his heart, but he said nothing at this time, waiting quietly for Sofia to make a decision.

Sure enough, Sofia glanced at him, thought for a moment and said, "Galdo, you and Letona lead the team together. I will help you attract the enemy's attention."

Sophia looked cautious as she took out a huge book with a black cover from her space bag. On the cover was written three large characters in official script: "Record of Ten Thousand Formations". The book was as big as her upper body, more than ten centimeters thick, and looked simple and mysterious.

Sophia held the book in her hands and gently lifted it up, and the book floated in the air. She flipped through the book according to the index. The pages were thin and tough, and when she turned the pages, it was like a fan opening, which was very beautiful.

Lorenzo stood behind her, watching the scene intently. He tried his best to control his excitement, but his slightly trembling fingers revealed his inner turmoil.

The "Record of Ten Thousand Formations", one of the three sacred books of the Tower of Talisman, has finally appeared!

The pages of the book flew around, and Sophia found a page in the middle, and then said to Russell: "This is the magic circle, let's start."

Priest Sophia used her magic wand to draw a complicated symbol in the air. Above the ground teleportation array, she drew the second teleportation array. While drawing with reference to the holy book, she signaled Russell to eject various energy-providing crystals into the air and suspend them at various positions of the magic array. While she was drawing, the holy book kept emitting a faint purple light, covering her body. Lorenzo knew that this was the magical effect of the "Ten Thousand Arrays Record": the void condenses the array, the magic power is stable, the engraving is rapid, the mind is focused, and the efficiency is improved. These characteristics can greatly improve the speed, accuracy and power of the array drawing. Therefore, Sophia only spent about a quarter of an hour to complete the drawing of the second magic array. This array is as difficult as the teleportation array drawn by Russell before, but Russell took more than an hour before.

At this moment, she looked very tired, and said to Lorenzo: "The teleportation array above has been connected to an ice bat habitat in the ice elemental plane. Now you release an offensive magic over there. Then we just need to wait and see what happens."

Lorenzo stretched out his hand, and a fireball the size of his head took shape in his hand. With a slight wave of his hand, the fireball passed through the portal. A moment later, the roar of a fireball exploding came from the other side, and then bursts of sharp cries came from there. Soon, a group of snow-white bats with a pair of red eyes rushed out from the portal above and fell into the portal below in a daze.

The scene that Ji Yijun saw was much more terrifying than what Lorenzo saw.

While Morey was still studying the magic circle, a warrior in full armor suddenly jumped out from the teleportation circle. Ji Yijun slashed at him, but he escaped.

But soon, they saw more people falling from the teleportation array.

The first one was a warrior covered in blood and scars from head to toe. His armor was tattered and his two weapons were twisted. Ji Yijun fought with him with a sword and was actually knocked away. However, this warrior was already at the end of his strength. His fighting spirit was scattered like a firework. The warrior walked forward a few steps and knelt on the ground. He supported his body with his weapon, raised his head and glared at everyone, trying to stand up again, but his anger disappeared and soon solidified in that posture.

After him, ten more people fell, but these were not living people, but corpses that had been cut into pieces. Everyone in the room felt like they were in a horror movie, and the two girls even screamed.

"What's going on?" Ji Yijun spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at the corpses with cold feet.

"There's something wrong with this formation. Look there." Morey pointed at several fast-flowing purple light bands in the formation. "Someone tampered with the formation, causing space cracks to appear during the operation of the teleportation formation. It's like countless knives constantly cutting into their bodies during the transmission process. These enemies were probably killed by the space cracks."

"Although it's an inexplicable enemy, it's still miserable enough. Is there someone helping us?" Ji Yijun asked doubtfully, "No matter who it is, he has helped a lot. The warrior just now is much stronger than me. If he is allowed to be teleported here unscathed, I'm afraid we will all die."

"Don't worry about this for now. The magic circle has not dissipated, but has changed. This shows that they have further plans." Morey said.

After a while, they saw a horrible scene. One after another, white bats rushed out from the teleportation array, attacking and biting the people in the room. These ice bats were as big as rabbits, with wingspans of more than half a meter. With their sharp teeth and bloodshot eyes, they were quite scary.

During the battle, more ice bats rushed out of the room through the window and scattered across the campus.

"Huang Zheng, disciples, hurry up and kill these crazy rats!" Ji Yijun drew his sword and shouted.

These ice bats would spit out fist-sized ice bullets, which would not cause any fatal injuries, but would be very painful when they hit the body, just like hail. Moreover, the temperature of the bullets was very low, and once exposed skin was touched, it would easily cause frostbite.

Ji Yijun and Garcia chopped with swords, Huang Zheng also wielded the machete vigorously, and Enrique's hands turned into claws. Cao Lu, who was holding a rifle, and Tang Feng, who was holding a pistol, did not dare to shoot casually in the room, so they could only protect Crete and retreat.

But among these people, except for Ji Yijun who was protected by fighting spirit and agile, and Enrique who had scales and sharp claws, it was too difficult for others to fight against these extremely fast creatures. Soon, the rest of them were hit by ice bullets several times. Even Crete's arm was hit twice, and it turned blue and purple.

"Damn it, that guy from the intelligence team, and the pretty lady with the rifle, quickly take Trick away. You have to inform Wang Jiyuan and ask him to deal with the bats that flew into the school. If you see Wu Qi, tell her not to come back and stay away." Ji Yijun used all his strength and his sword swept across the door like a streak of silk, killing seven or eight ice bats that were blocking the way out, leaving a small gap at the door. "I've cleared the way for you, run!"

Tang Feng gritted his teeth, pulled Crete and Cao Lu out the door, but not long after, he rushed back alone with a fire extinguisher in his hand.

The foam ejected from the fire extinguisher immediately dazzled several low-flying ice bats. Garcia and Huang Zheng seized the opportunity and split the falling ice bats in half.

"Hey, I'm starting to like this kid." Ji Yijun commented in his spare time. So far, he had the most haul, with at least thirty or forty ice bats dying in his hands.

After Tang Feng sprayed the fire extinguisher, he found a fire axe and joined the fight again.

"Ji Yijun! This is not a solution. The bats just keep coming. I roughly counted and there are nearly two hundred bats rushing out. If we continue like this, we will soon be unable to hold on." Huang Zheng blocked an ice bomb with his sword. At this time, his face had three or four bruises and there was blood at the corners of his mouth. He looked very embarrassed.

Ji Yijun glanced at the magic circle that was still shining brightly and shouted, "Morey! Come on! It depends on you whether I will die of exhaustion here today!"
