Super Zoo-Chapter 803 - 782: Kill Them

The second attempt at spiritual power control failed, Su Ming was completely clear, trying to use the "Animal Friend" against these foreign vampires was hopeless.

Su Ming was in trouble, and the opponents seemed unwilling to let him go.

A psychopath, or rather a maniac, has a typical characteristic: untouchable. Even a little contact, even if well-intended, might provoke an episode.

Moreover, in the eyes of these vampire bats, two-legged beings like Su Ming, and four-legged beings like grey wolves, were fundamentally the same: all were food.

Since they were all food, and he had provoked them, they couldn't just turn a blind eye and pretend not to see.

Over a dozen large bats took to the air, leaving behind the bony corpses of wolves, their blood-red eyes fixated on Su Ming.

Flapping their wings, they opened their fanged mouths wide, emitting strange squeaking noises as they charged at Su Ming.

These bats weren't numerous, but their size was considerable; each one's wingspread was almost the size of a round table, and a dozen of them attacking together was remarkably imposing!

"Get in quick!" Avitu leaned out to pull Su Ming.

As the words fell, the bats were already swooping in.

Su Ming stood by the car door, a quick sidestep would take him back inside. The wooden cabin couldn't stop wild boars, but these ferocious vampire bats would definitely struggle with it for a while.

However, the seven or eight grey wolves that Su Ming had held back were still on the roof or under the car, and if he just left and shut the door, he would be trapping them.

He wouldn't protect animals unconditionally or mindlessly dispense kindness, nor would he intentionally harm them, especially since these grey wolves were still there to help him.

As quickly as it happened, the nearest bat had already charged to within half a meter; Su Ming could clearly see the blood on the gaps of its fangs.

The bat opened its mouth wide, its arms flapping hard in the air, and then suddenly lunged forward intending to wrap Su Ming in its wings like it did the grey wolf, and bite off his neck or crush his skull.

"Ah!"

"Be careful!"

"Get out of the way!"

Su Ming instinctively stepped back, not expecting Nangong Yan, in her urgency, to suddenly emerge from the car to pull at him, right as the large bat aimed for Nangong's shoulder.

"Go to hell!"

Su Ming swiftly avoided a double-barreled shotgun from Avitu's hand, pressed the barrel against the big bat's head, and fired without a second thought.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound, and the fierce bat, as if yanked back by a rope, flew backwards, half its head completely obliterated by the shotgun blast, colliding with several other bats behind it before crashing a few meters away.

Nangong turned pale, Su Ming gave Su Meng a look, Su Meng quickly dragged Nangong back into the car, then jumped out himself, slamming the car door shut.

He held a meter-long iron rod in his hand; this item was similar to a crowbar and could be used to leverage when the carriage was stuck in mud, for cooking meat over a fire at camp, or for defense. Usually kept under the carriage seat, it now served as Su Meng's weapon.

The remaining vampire bats, completely unaware of what formidable foes they were facing, stirred by the loud noise and blood, flapped their wings viciously and closed in.

Su Ming's face was grim, not out of fear of the bats, but because Nangong Yan had rushed out to pull him back. If he had reacted even a bit slower, Nangong Yan would have been bitten...

"Damn it, kill them all!"

With a loud shout, he raised the gun and fired!

Bang!

Against a thick-skinned creature like a wild boar, a double-barreled shotgun isn't of much use, but when the target is a sizable bat with only a thin layer of flesh on its wings, the power of the shotgun immediately doubles.

The two bats coming head-on were riddled like sieves, their bodies riddled with countless small holes, twitching on the ground.

The double-barreled shotgun, having fired two bullets, completely shut down.

"Bullets!" The car window rolled down, and Avitu handed out a handful of bullets.

Buzz!

As Suming was reloading, a wild wind suddenly rose, and Suming's iron rod whistled shrilly through the air, smashing hard on the back of a bat trying to sneak attack Suming...

The iron rod, not much thicker than a thumb, when pushed to extreme speed and force, acted like a blade, brutally splitting the bat in two.

Su Meng flipped his hand and smashed another one away.

Bang! Bang!

The roaring of the double-barreled shotgun rang out again, and three bats fell to the ground at its sound.

The two exchanged offensive roles, covering each other, Su Meng dealt with the nearby bats with his iron rod while Suming, from a distance, aimed and fired, wreaking havoc.

A nearly one-sided fierce battle, or rather, a pummeling and slaughter commenced.

The forest was abuzz, with Chengcheng and the Labrador Ashis, one with a big head and one with a small head, perched on the glass, Chengcheng excitedly shouting encouragement while Ashis barked furiously;

All the wolves originally hiding under the car came out, and the three wolves on the roof stood up, roaring loudly to boost the morale!

It didn't take long for all thirteen vampire bats to be annihilated, some mutilated, some riddled with holes, miserably twitching their claws in a nervous reflex.

"So cocky now!"

Suming reversed the butt of his gun, fiercely smashing the head of a still-twitching bat.

Su Meng was comparatively more civilized this time, wielding a long iron bar; hejabbed every bat on the ground, dead or alive.

"Howl, howl, howl!" Eight Grey Wolves barked furiously, dying to devour these 'enemies'.

Suming released a wave of spiritual power to calm them down slightly, not sure if these mutated bats were edible, as eating them might lead to stomach upset and diarrhea, which would be disgustingly messy in the car.

Since they were in the mountains, it was reasonable to have a few animals as bodyguards, and the combat power of the Grey Wolves was quite good; he planned to take them to the castle for fun.

"Big brothers, you guys were awesome!" Chengcheng was the first to clap and jump out of the car, the little girl growing increasingly bold, facing a ground smeared with blood, she was not at all scared, but quite thrilled.

Avila took back the shotgun from Suming, wiping the blood off the stock with a cloth, all the while covertly observing these two Easterners.

Unlike the typical Easterners imagined, reputed to be amiable but physically weak and timid, these two men were even braver—no, even fiercer—than the most seasoned Hunters.

Species antagonism, for these travelers, the bats posed significantly less threat than a pack of wolves, and even without Suming and Su Meng's slaughter, just with Avitu shooting from inside the car, they could have killed a dozen vampire bats, albeit less efficiently; encountering animal attacks in the mountains was normal, so the group wasn't overly frightened, and soon calmed down.

Then, everyone realized a serious issue.

The horses had run away; what would we use to pull the carriage now?
