Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 192 — Bat Valley
Zhou Yuan directly practiced Feiyu's instructions on the sword he always carried.
Zhou Yuan first poured out a deep force on his ring before his hand aimed at the sword of Kusanagi, suddenly Zhou Yuan's sword disappeared and he could feel it in his ring.
Zhou Yuan then imagined the sword kusanagi in his mind, magically it came out of his ring. Zhou Yuan tried it a few times before he could finally understand how the space ring worked.
Yun Feiyu nodded slowly as Zhou Yuan managed to master it. Feiyu explained that space rings can store anything no matter their size is small or large as long as they are not living things.
"Oh I almost forgot, take this!" Feiyu threw a small tube at Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan frowned, "What is this tube Auntie?"
"The "tube of light, almost the same as fireworks but much more dazzling. Point this tube up into the sky and it shoots a bright ball of light. Yuan'er, you use this thing when you're desperate or feel like you're done hunting stealth, I'll come here and bring you back."
Zhou Yuan understood, he thanked Feiyu and then stored the tube of light into his spatial ring.
"Then Yuan'er I leave first, I'll come back here if you shoot that light canister back." Yun Feiyu said goodbye.
"I understand Auntie, thank you for helping me so much." Zhou Yuan paid his respects to Feiyu.
Yun Feiyu smiled then immediately made a portal, he briefly waved his hand at Zhou Yuan before jumping into the portal.
Zhou Yuan watched as the portal shrunk before finally disappearing, he looked around, only silence and fog covering the distance of his vision.
Although it was still day, at the place where Zhou Yuan only half the sunlight managed to break through the mist of the valley so that the lighting there was a little dim.
Zhou Yuan started to step his feet in one direction, only a few steps did he walk suddenly a voice from above startled him.
Zhou Yuan saw a huge bat flying towards him at a great speed. Zhou Yuan did not panic, when the distance of the bat demon was already several meters with him Zhou Yuan suddenly disappeared.
The bat that was moving quickly was shocked by Zhou Yuan's sudden disappearance so that he could not stop his flight and crashed into the ground.
At the same time Zhou Yuan reappeared on the bat before swinging his fists firmly.
BOOM!
Zhou Yuan's fist hit the bat's stealth body hard, the bat was a 60-year-old demon so it was not Zhou Yuan's opponent, in one blow he immediately breathed his last.
Not yet Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after taking the life of that bat demon was already another bat that came this time number four.
Zhou Yuan sighed, currently unable to use the kusanagi sword as it only had a slight inner exertion after the light gate opening practice.
However Zhou Yuan's physical strength remained extremely terrifying, Zhou Yuan swung his fists back at the four bats, each of his fists producing a thumping punch.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
In each of his punches Zhou Yuan managed to kill that bat demon, Zhou Yuan's physical strength which had increased as his strength increased made his physical strength much stronger.
The bats were thrown in all directions, the sound of the bat hitting the ground was finally heard by another bat, Zhou Yuan sensed that there were many demons who would now approach him this time.
***
Zhou Yuan already did not know how long he had lived in the bat valley but it must have been days.
Zhou Yuan felt a great drowsiness after several days of sleeplessness, his concentration had already decreased and Zhou Yuan's stamina was already nearing its limit.
Not a minute did Zhou Yuan rest in this bat valley, nor could he hide because the bat used sound to detect its opponent.
"These bats are so stubborn, they really want to suck my blood..." Zhou Yuan cursed in his heart as he continued to run.
Currently Zhou Yuan was looking for a safe hiding place from the bat, he was no longer interested in killing other bats, his main focus now was to rest.
"I think it's a good place..."
From a distance Zhou Yuan found a cave that was small in size but fit enough for his body, he immediately went inside there hoping that the bat did not find him this time.
The mouth of the cave was indeed small but when Zhou Yuan went inside, the cave room was quite large.
Zhou Yuan tried to inspect the cave fearing that there were demons or other animals there, after feeling safe Zhou Yuan immediately dropped his body to the ground exhausted.
For days Zhou Yuan faced the colony of demon bats, he obtained countless stealth gems in his space ring.
Although Zhou Yuan had heard the bat numbered in the tens of thousands but still he was surprised when he saw the number directly.
Although it took one punch to kill every bat Zhou Yuan still had limited stamina especially at this time not only his body was exhausted but drowsiness.
Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief realizing the bat could not find him this time, he resuscitated his back to the cave wall, his already heavy eyes could no longer endure his sleepiness.
Zhou Yuan woke up after nearly twelve hours of sleep, he sighed softly as his entire body ached but his condition was now more excellent than before.
"It's better, I'll make this place my temporary hideout..."
After Zhou Yuan rested, he ate from the bat meat he hunted, Zhou Yuan made a campfire with small twigs he found around the cave before burning bat meat on it.
While waiting for the bat meat to ripen, Zhou Yuan took out the acquired stealth gems and started counting them. The number was already large because he had collected it for days which was about 500 stealth gems.
"I think I should stay here longer, I need more gemstones than this..." Zhou Yuan shook his head slowly feeling that the stealth gems he collected were not enough.
Zhou Yuan came out of the cave when he felt that his body was well rested, he also filled a quarter of his inner strength to strengthen his physique and increase stamina.
Just three minutes Zhou Yuan left the cave, there were already dozens of bats coming at him. Zhou Yuan smiled widely, this time he did not run instead leaping towards them, Zhou Yuan dealt a thumping blow to each bat.
Zhou Yuan was confident that he would spend a long time in this valley far from his estimation, intent on hunting the bat as much as possible to gather thousands of stealth gems.
"Come here, I'll serve you all!" Zhou Yuan exclaimed at those bats, his body releasing a great aura.
