<strong>Chapter 849: Chapter 851: You Arrived Too Late</strong>


    Jian Chunqiu thought for a moment, then nodded, “Everyone spread out and stand apart, remember not to let these bats bite you! These are poisonous bats!”


    Judging from the corpses of those people, it can be seen that these bats are indeed poisonous, and they are extremely toxic.


    If you’re identally bitten by them, you’ll die instantly!


    After hearing Jian Chunqiu’s words, everyone nodded. Those who were already poisoned began to walk out of the protective shield under the protection of those who weren’t.


    The bats seemed to have some sort of telepathy and sensed the presence of life, bing even crazier, colliding everywhere.


    One severely poisoned person, because he didn’t keep up in time, was suddenly bitten by a bat. He froze in ce, a small imprint abruptly appeared on his neck, from which ck blood flowed out.


    In an instant, the person didn’t even have time to cry for help before he copsed with a thud.


    At this moment, Fangding Mountain was cloaked in darkness, with harsh and rasping bat cries piercing the air, grating and unbearable.


    But the people on Fangding Mountain were already in chaos, having no leisure to worry about others’ situations.


    Those who had copsed wanted to call for help, but no one paid them any mind.


    Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu stood still, even Long Ang didn’t leave first.


    Chu Ge looked at Long Ang in surprise, “Why isn’t Group Leader Long Ang leaving?”


    Long Ang smiled, “None of you have left, why should I go? As a member of the Dragon Group, even though I’m no longer the group leader, I am still from the Dragon Group. I can’t bring myself to flee at such a critical moment.”


    Long Ang still had some pride, which gave Chu Ge a different perspective on the Dragon Group members. Perhaps this view was only directed toward Long Ang, but now he felt that Long Ang, as Jian Chunqiu said, was truly a friend worth knowing deeply.


    “Alright, this is not the time for you heroes to appreciate each other. Let’s find a way to quickly expel these bats.”


    After expelling the poison from his body, Jian Chunqiu began to use True Qi to form a protective barrier around. Currently, the bats were attacking those Ancient Martial Artists trying to leave, seemingly unable to care for this side.


    “What are we waiting for? Let’s do it directly.”


    After Chu Ge spoke, he suddenly rose into the air, while Long Ang and Jian Chunqiu swiftly flew to the other side.


    The three exchanged nces, as if reaching some consensus, then exerted their force simultaneously.


    From afar, one could see a dense dark mass over Fangding Mountain, and above it, three ring white lights, intersecting like pirs, producing fierce collision sounds.


    With a loud bang, the bats suddenly seemed frozen in ce, fell to the ground.


    Wave after wave of bats—after theypletely dealt with them, there was no room left on the peak of Fangding Mountain.


    Chu Ge and his twopanions flew directly to the foot of the mountain.


    Long Ang asked in confusion, “Is that it?”


    The bats appeared without warning but suddenly stopped, indicating someone was controlling them from behind. They only dealt with the bats without addressing the root cause, so it would definitely happen again.


    Jian Chunqiu nodded, “I know what you are concerned about, but the bats on Fangding Mountain will dissolve on their own soon. We don’t need to handle it. What we need to do is find the real mastermind.”


    “Do you know who the mastermind is?” Long Ang asked curiously.


    Chu Ge chuckled lightly, then answered, “Do we even need to guess? It’s none other than the ck Widow.”


    Even though Long Ang was from the Dragon Group and understood Ancient Martial Arts well, sometimes he still couldn’t figure things out.


    He chuckled self-deprecatingly, “Then let me go with you.”


    Long Ang staying just now had already surprised Chu Ge. No matter what, the people on Fangding Mountain were Ancient Martial Artists. Long Ang was willing to stay and help them.


    Now that the danger from the bats was temporarily neutralized, Long Ang didn’t have to stay, yet he was still willing to stay, which increased Chu Ge’s goodwill toward him.<fn7af9> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n F?ndNovel</fn7af9>


    However, since Long Ang was part of the Dragon Group, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him toe directly.


    Before Chu Ge spoke, Jian Chunqiu declined, “Thank you for your concern, Group Leader Long Ang, but leave the next steps to us. After all, this is an internal matter of the Ancient Martial Arts. If Group Leader Long Ang gets involved, it might be hard to exin on your side.”


    Long Ang thought for a while, then nodded, “Alright, you all take care today…”


    Long Ang wanted to say some apologetic words, but when the words reached his mouth, he still didn’t voice them out. A man saying such things always felt awkward.


    “I know what you want to say, but your duel with Fang Xi is still on. You’re wee anytime.”


    Jian Chunqiu said.


    Long Ang nodded, his gaze shifted to Chu Ge, smiled, and said, “If there is an opportunity, I hope to have a fair match with you.”


    Chu Ge was surprised, not expecting Long Ang to name him. But since he wanted to challenge him, Chu Ge wouldn’t refuse.


    “Alright, I’ll be ready anytime.”


    Chu Ge nodded, smiling slightly.


    Long Ang watched them leave, exhaling once they were distant.


    Although he hadn’t dueled with them just now, during their joint effort against the bats, he clearly felt their immense strength.


    This strength ignited his hidden desire topete with masters in his heart.


    Long Ang suppressed his emotions, turned around, and saw two people standing behind him.


    It was Long Yi and Long Er.


    Long Ang looked at them in surprise, “Why are you here?”


    Long Yi, looking goofy as ever, approached with concern, “Group Leader, what are you looking at?”


    “Group Leader, wasn’t there supposed to be apetition with the Ancient Martial Arts today? Why are there no signs of Ancient Martial Arts people around?”


    It was Long Er asking, looking curiously around and confused. Although they had been at odds with Ancient Martial Arts, they were well aware of them.


    Ancient Martial Arts people valued their promises greatly, always fulfilling what they agreed to.


    Long Ang’s lips curled into a faint self-deprecating smile as he said, “You’rete. If you hade a bit earlier, you might have caught a great show.”
