Chapter 595 Escape

Riding Ivan, the flying carpet moved like a warhorse, skimming along the ground in the narrow cave. Each sharp turn seemed like a collision with jagged rock walls, each descent a narrow escape from the frantically flapping wings of bats below. Yet, it never failed, giving Sun Keke the feeling of dancing on a knife's edge.

While riding the flying carpet, Ivan pinched the stone that Coco had just dug up.

He first used his appraisal skills to examine the stone.

[Echo Bat Stone: A soft stone formed from a mixture of echo bat saliva and soil. It has a sound-absorbing effect.]

"Ivan! Watch out!" Sun Keke's voice suddenly became louder.

Several disoriented bats, like heavy cannonballs, slammed into the pale golden light shield that Ivan had hastily erected. The silent impacts became an unsettling sight in this dark world. The light shield rippled violently, spreading outwards like waves.

The swarm of bats arrived. After realizing they had lost their voices, the bats began to attack Ivan and his companions using their other attack method—wind blades.

Wind blades wrapped around the bats' wings, and the bats fell onto the light shield like rain.

Ivan remained calm, constantly adjusting the energy distribution of the light shield based on the anticipated situation.

He didn't know the exact size of the place, so he didn't use gravity-based spells, as they were all energy-intensive. He figured he'd be better off using the Light Shield City Lord spell, which he was most familiar with.

“There are too many bats here. We need to find a place to study how to counter the sonic attack.” Sun Keke wiped the sweat from her brow. “Let’s find a narrow area. Even if we get buried, we don’t need to worry. We have my brother-in-law’s air candy.”

“Okay!” Ivan’s answer was brief and forceful as he searched for a suitable spot among the countless bats.

"found it!"

The flying carpet suddenly plunged downwards, almost grazing the heads of several bats darting about haphazardly, sending them tumbling through the air. Ivan jerked his mind, and the flying carpet shot upwards like a startled fish, crashing heavily into a protruding rock on the cave ceiling with a muffled thud.

Using the light shield to block the impact and the reaction force, Ivan and his companions turned at a right angle and entered a cavern.

"That's it."

Sun Keke unleashed her magic.

Now, the sound returned to the cave, and the endless screams of bats instantly filled the ears.

Ivan erected a shield at the cave entrance, enveloping the two of them, and then stood against the entrance.

Ivan stood at the cave entrance, shield in hand. His broad shoulders resembled an unyielding castle, and his golden hair shimmered with a pale golden light under the magical glow, making him look like a prince of the sun, a symbol of hope.

And Ivan's right hand held that true hope.

"Coco, break the ceiling to help me relieve some stress. I need to investigate this stone."

"understand!"

Sun Keke released an energy shock towards the ceiling, and slightly soft black stones fell down from the ceiling, sealing the hole.

This peculiar echo bat stone absorbed a large amount of sonic attacks, greatly reducing Ivan's stress.

Ivan immediately began analyzing the bat-shaped stone.

With his mind highly focused, magical energy instantly seeped into the inner world of the stone.

Ivan deciphered the workings of the magic and the properties of the stone—it was a symbiotic mixture formed over countless years by bat saliva and rock particles under special sound wave conditions, its microstructure resembling countless tiny resonant cavities and sound-absorbing sponges. Remarkably, the internal bat saliva, which had become like glue, could release opposing sound waves upon contact with them, neutralizing the original sound waves.

This is a special saliva that bats evolved to protect their nests.

Ivan's mind raced.

Sound waves are also a type of wave, and they are very compatible with it.

"Flame! Give me flame!"

Sun Keke immediately ignited a ball of magical fire. She had also read about elemental theory, so basic ignition was no challenge for her.

Ivan's mind was exceptionally clear at that moment. He took out an anvil and hammer with his right hand and began to forge the stone.

Burn, melt, extract, reveal elements, add runes, and reshape them!

A cube gradually appeared in the flames.
