Cave Refuge

Watching the countless bat monsters continuously converging towards this side, Dong Tianyu was genuinely excited at this moment.

Although he was the only one defending this place, the individual strength of those bat monsters wasn't strong, so even if there was a great number of them, they were still akin to ants to Dong Tianyu.

In facing these ants, Dong Tianyu had already prepared his response method. It is known that blocking the Plane Transmission Channel only utilized the White Bone Banner, and Dong Tianyu still had the Hundred Ghosts Banner and Bloodthirsty Banner left unused.

Dong Tianyu had long wanted to upgrade the Three Flags, and to upgrade them, besides directly utilizing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for refinement, another method was to use a large number of living spirits as materials for their upgrade.

If it were in an Otherworld or during a zombie apocalypse, obtaining the materials needed to upgrade the Three Flags might be quite easy, but in this current period, despite natural disasters coming in succession and death becoming commonplace,

at least China under the control of the Imperial Court had not fallen into chaos. Due to the reverence of the powerful, the moral standards were actually much higher than before the disasters.

After all, now the reverence of the powerful dominated, although the Imperial Court would restrain the powerful in critical matters, in general cases, they granted a great deal of freedom to the powerful.

Hence, the approach to general incidents was primarily based on the morals of the powerful, and this very reason meant that some distorted moral concepts had no binding power over the powerful.

However, because mainly adults before the natural disasters constituted the majority of the powerful, and they had both received traditional education from China, their moral concepts generally followed those universally held before the disasters.

Therefore, even though the powerful were revered, the vast majority still adhered to the moral baseline held before the disasters, at least not treating common people like sheep as in the era of disorder among the Five Barbarian Tribes.

In the universal moral concept, indiscriminate killing and body snatching were actions that severely breached the moral baseline, and for this reason, Dong Tianyu also mostly refrained from using the Three Flags in front of others.

Although before the disasters many people would call the Hundred Ghosts Banner the Human Emperor's Banner on the internet, that was all bravado. Whether before the disasters or now, anyone found using the Human Emperor's Banner, unless it was themselves, the majority would instinctively reject anyone using the Hundred Ghosts Banner.

For this reason, in most battles, Dong Tianyu rarely employed the Three Flags. Apart from wanting to upgrade the Three Flags by using a large number of living spirits, the most important was that Dong Tianyu didn't want others to know he possessed the Three Flags.

Initially, with the disappearance of the Mysterious Ship, Dong Tianyu was worried about where he could encounter a significant number of living spirits, but this invasion by Otherworldly Creatures genuinely provided him with another means of upgrading.

Invisible, standing atop the bone, Dong Tianyu looked around at the bat monsters carrying heavy supplies yet still preparing to attack the bone, his face involuntarily revealed a hint of excitement.

Before the surrounding bat monsters had a chance to figure out how to break through the bone under Dong Tianyu's feet, the Hundred Ghosts Banner and Bloodthirsty Banner appeared before him.

While those bat monsters were not paying attention, Dong Tianyu threw the Bloodthirsty Banner into the sea at a very high speed. Though a few bat monsters noticed During the Bloodthirsty Banner's descent, the banner had plunged into the sea before the bat monsters could react.

Just as the Bloodthirsty Banner touched the water, endless blood gushed forth from the banner, gradually enveloping the originally blue ocean in a dark red color.

Meanwhile, the Hundred Ghosts Banner that remained by Dong Tianyu's side wasn't just watching; every time the banner fluttered with the wind, dozens of Fierce Ghost Shadow Souls surged out of it.

However, since the Hundred Ghosts were in a state of invisibility, although the accompanying cold wind caused a slight drop in the surrounding temperature, the bat monsters around failed to notice anything unusual.

The Resentful Spirits,Fierce Ghosts, having just emerged from the Hundred Ghosts Banner, immediately rushed into the bodies of the surrounding bat monsters. Those bat monsters ' bodies might resist the ingress of the Resentful Spirits for a moment, but their bodies couldn't move at all during the entry,

You should know that those bat monsters possessed by the Resentful Spirits not only had so many "spoils of war" on them but were also high up in the air at that time.

Once the bat monsters' bodies were immobilized by the Resentful Spirits, they fell directly from the sky into the sea.

By this time, the sea surface had already been covered with the blood water released by the Bloodthirsty Banner, so when those bat monsters fell from the sky into the water and touched the blood water, their bodies were rapidly dissolved by the blood water and eventually, their bones sank to the bottom of the sea.

After the bodies of those bat monsters were dissolved and died by the blood water, naturally, their souls, which could still fight with the Shadow Soul while in the body, were instantly devoured by the Resentful Spirits once they lost the protection of the body.

After successfully devouring the souls of the bat monsters, those Resentful Spirits immediately left the blood water, once again soaring into the sky towards those bat monsters still flying in the air.

If the Resentful Spirits wanted to devour the souls of the bat monsters, they needed to first make sure the bat monsters' souls lost the protection of their bodies to successfully devour the souls of the bat monsters.
