Chapter 169: Chapter 132: Unfathomable Depths, United Annihilation

"Let’s deal with these bats together. If you help me catch this giant bat, I will reward you handsomely."

"What kind of reward?" Nie Jingnian asked.

"How about a thousand taels of gold each?" the woman said.

Nie Jingnian looked at Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya pondered for a moment, then nodded.

No one would complain about having too much gold.

Moreover, both parties were now like grasshoppers on a string; if they wanted to leave the earth cave, they first had to deal with this giant bat.

But relying on just Zhao Ya and Nie Jingnian to handle the giant bat was akin to daydreaming, though with the help of this woman and her subordinates, it seemed somewhat possible.

The woman saw that Zhao Ya and his companion agreed, and her expression softened slightly.

Her words were also a kind of test. If they disagreed, she wouldn’t mind killing them both first.

After all, at this moment, she didn’t want to be distracted by guarding against others.

She could guess that these two were probably the group ahead of her in the forest earlier.

Judging by their looks, they seemed to have had some success as well.

But none of that mattered to her.

What she wanted was this Giant-winged Blood Bat.

Unfortunately, the information provided by the informant was incorrect. This was not a Fourth Realm peak Exotic Beast, but one that had already entered the Fifth Realm.

It was due to this misinformation that she was poorly prepared, leading to this mistake.

But it was too late to say anything now.

The woman took a deep breath and began thinking about the situation at hand.

The narrow passage meant that only a few people were needed at the front to block the bat swarm coming from the stone hall’s direction.

This gave everyone a chance to catch their breath.

At this moment, Zhao Ya, after slashing for a while, was replaced by one of the woman’s subordinates.

He then leaned against a rock to rest.

In fact, Zhao Ya could have kept slashing at that intensity for a long time by himself.

But at such a time, Zhao Ya certainly wouldn’t foolishly stand out.

He pretended to rest for a while, then looked at the woman who was deep in thought not far away.

First of all, Zhao Ya had to admit, the woman was extremely beautiful.

In terms of looks alone, she was even more outstanding than Zui’Er.

Especially with that indifferent expression, it added a kind of chastity to her beauty.

Just as Zhao Ya was looking at the woman, she suddenly spoke.

"Am I beautiful?"

Zhao Ya was startled, then nodded, "Beautiful!"

The woman raised her head, her gaze cold as ice, "You don’t seem scared at all?"

"Scared of what?" Zhao Ya chuckled lightly.

"Now we’re essentially in the same boat. At least until we take care of that giant bat, you won’t make a move."

The woman remained silent, her expression cold.

Zhao Ya looked back toward the stone hall and said indifferently, "Are you wanting to capture this giant bat alive?"

The woman contemplated for a moment, then said, "Initially, that was the plan, but since this giant bat has advanced to the Fifth Realm, capturing it alive is impossible. However, taking the body would suffice."

"If I can help you kill this giant bat, would you add extra?" Zhao Ya suddenly asked.

"You can help me?" The woman looked at Zhao Ya, somewhat skeptical.

Though his skin faintly shimmered with a precious light, his Qi Blood hadn’t deeply penetrated the muscles, at best he was only at a half-step Fourth Realm.

With such strength, how could he make such a big claim?

"That’s right, but you’ll need to charge forward to attract the giant bat’s attention."

"How confident are you?"

"Sixty percent."

"Alright, let’s do it!"

The woman’s decisiveness even surprised Zhao Ya a little.

However, he quickly smiled, "We haven’t discussed how much more you’ll add."

"Another thousand taels."

Gold seemed like mere bricks and stones to this woman, offering a thousand taels without hesitation.

But Zhao Ya shook his head, "This time, I don’t want gold."

"Then what do you want?" The woman’s face suddenly showed a trace of vigilance.

Since stepping into the half-step Fifth Realm, very few lechers dared bother her.

But who could be entirely sure?

This young man in front of her might be audaciously lecherous.

"I want Exotic Beast Dried Meat, the higher the tier, the better." Zhao Ya immediately said.

Even with Exotic Insects, Zhao Ya never had enough Exotic Beast Dried Meat.

Because he was practically a Qi Blood black hole, he could consume as much as he had.

Hearing Zhao Ya’s request, the woman exhaled slightly in relief.

"Alright, once it’s done, I’ll give you twenty pieces of Tier Five Dried Meat."

Tier Five Dried Meat?

Hearing this grade distinction, Zhao Ya was slightly stunned, but his face remained impassive as he nodded.

"Deal!"

After the two reached an agreement, Zhao Ya then laid out his plan.

"Later, you’ll charge forward, and I’ll cover you from the side. Once we rush into the stone hall, the others will do their best to attract the bat swarm’s attention. The two of us will deal with the giant bat."

"Your swordsmanship is exceptional. Stay at the front to draw the giant bat’s fire. As long as you can hold on until I set everything up, this giant bat will either die or be maimed."

After hearing Zhao Ya’s plan, the woman thought for a moment. Finding it feasible, she nodded.

Nie Jingnian already knew what Zhao Ya intended to do, and he didn’t say anything, just patted Zhao Ya on the shoulder, signaling him to take care.

Once everyone was ready, they suddenly launched a counterattack and dashed into the stone hall.

Nie Jingnian and the group of black-clad men fought hard, attracting most of the bats.

Zhao Ya and the woman took the opportunity to face the Giant-winged Blood Bat.

After birthing another batch of small bats, the Giant-winged Blood Bat seemed to weaken noticeably.

But upon seeing the woman charging at it with a sword, it roared angrily and swooped forward to engage the woman in a fight.

Previously, relying on her subordinates to hold a giant net for deterrence, the woman had managed to appear so relaxed.
