Chen Yulou immediately blew a few whistles for communication.
"Huh! Huh!"
In an instant, all the bandits on the raft lowered their bodies, and the brothers responsible for pole-pushing also quickened their pace.
"Squat down!" Seeing this, Partridge Whistle led Hua Ling and the old foreigner to squat down together.
Li Xiaohu pulled Yin Xinyue down from beside him and whispered, "No matter what happens later, don't get up."
He then took a torch from one of the brothers and warily watched both sides of the river.
The bandits from the Unloading Ridge Group cautiously traveled a distance.
But nothing happened.
Just when everyone thought they were about to safely cross this stretch of river, a cacophony of faint, mixed sounds suddenly came from both banks.
"Shhhhhh!"
"Pu Chi Pu Chi!"
Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle both have very keen senses and heard the noise immediately!
Although Li Xiaohu's hearing isn't as good as theirs.
However, by observing the reactions of Jin Yunu and Yuanweihu, it is possible to determine the source of the disturbance.
"It's a bat!" Chen Yulou recognized the source of the sound and shouted, "Prepare to react!"
The words just fell!
"Squeak squeak!"
Unrest is brewing between the two sides of the broken cliffs!
"Pu Chi Pu Chi!"
Large swaths of dark shadows flew out from the cracks in the cliff face, gathering into a dark cloud, and hissed as they flew toward the bandits on the raft!
Chen Yulou narrowed his eyes.
Suddenly, I realized that these bats were all huge, with wingspans of more than a meter!
Its exposed claws and teeth were incredibly sharp, gleaming coldly even in the dim light!
He shouted in a panic, "These bats are almost demonic! Be careful!"
"Whoa! Whoa!"
The brothers of the Unloading Ridge clan vigorously waved their torches to drive away the attacking bats.
But some bats still found a gap and snatched one of their brethren from the raft, sending him flying into the sky!
The other bats instantly rushed forward and surrounded it!
With sharp teeth and claws, tear and gnaw!
All the people on the raft saw was countless severed limbs and blood flying out from the swarm of bats!
Wait until the bats disperse.
All that remained was a mangled skeleton, and with a "plop!" it fell into the water!
"Ugh!" Yin Xinyue almost vomited when she saw such a bloody and horrific scene!
"Whoosh!" The girl in red had just thrown a few throwing knives when she knocked down a bat.
Seeing that morale was wavering, he quickly stood up straight and shouted, "Don't panic!"
"Alternating bolt-action fire!"
"Speed up and get out of here!"
The words have not yet fallen.
A bat extended its sharp claws and swooped down towards the girl in red!
"Get down!" Li Xiaohu's eyelids twitched at the sight, and he quickly got up and pounced, knocking the girl down!
He angrily rebuked, "Are you out of your mind?"
The girl's body was soaked by the river water, and she felt a chill.
But looking at Li Xiaohu lying on top of her, at his angry yet caring face, she felt a little hot.
Li Xiaohu drew the pistol from Hong Guniang's waist, stood up, and fired several shots into the sky, barely managing to shoot down two bats.
On the other raft, Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner attacked from both sides.
Both men were unerring marksmen, with pinpoint accuracy that allowed them to hit the bullseye every time.
A lot of bats were cleared out in an instant.
With the orders issued by Hong Guniang at great personal risk, the Xieling bandits gradually regained their composure.
The brothers on each raft took turns firing bolt-action rifles, and the powerful firepower quickly suppressed the bats, preventing them from approaching easily.
The swarm of bats circled above the bandits for a moment.
But the men from the Unloading Ridge faction continued to fire their spears.
Finally, it had no choice but to fly back into the crevices of the cliffs on both sides of the mountain, and dared not show its face again.

Taking advantage of the situation, Chen Yulou gave the order for everyone to speed up and move forward.
Fortunately, this river basin is not very long.
Without the bats' disturbance, the Unloading Ridge bandits quickly reached the foot of Ping Mountain and landed on a shallow beach.
The other side.
"Brother Guaizi," Luo Laowai asked, holding up his binoculars, "have the chief and the others arrived safely?"
The earlier commotion was hard to ignore.
Bats filled the sky, and gunfire echoed continuously.
Luo Laowai and Hua Maguai and others who stayed behind originally planned to set off to provide support.
But soon there was no more activity there.
Unfortunately, Chen Yulou and his group had entered a blind spot, and for a while they couldn't see what was going on.
After thinking for a moment, Hua Ma Guai said, "They should have arrived safely."
"If something goes wrong, it will always give a signal by turning its head."
"That's good, that's good." Old Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't want anything to happen to Chen Yulou and his group before he saw the treasure of Ping Mountain.
After all, that was his biggest asset in his treasure hunt!
Let's get back to Li Xiaohu.
As soon as Chen Yulou stepped ashore, he thanked Li Xiaohu.
"Brother Xiaohu, thank you so much!"
Although this battle still cost him one of his brothers from the Unloading Ridge faction.
But if Li Xiaohu hadn't warned them beforehand, the Xieling clan would probably have suffered even greater losses!
Chen Yulou now completely trusts Li Xiaohu.
He always made thorough preparations, enabling them to respond effectively in times of crisis!
This time, we're bringing Li Xiaohu on board!
It was absolutely the best decision he ever made!
Partridge Whistle watched Li Xiaohu from the side, his eyes full of admiration.
Li Xiaohu's awareness of crisis warning is really too strong!
They always manage to warn people before a crisis hits, minimizing their losses!
Li Xiaohu smiled indifferently and said, "Chief Chen, there's no need for that."
"Aren't we in the same boat now?"
Li Xiaohu jokingly picked up the conversation, which made Chen Yulou laugh heartily. Chen Yulou patted Li Xiaohu on the shoulder gratefully before turning around and walking towards the foot of Ping Mountain.
Just as Hong Guniang was about to follow, Li Xiaohu grabbed her wrist.
"Hong Gu!" Li Xiaohu said sternly, "You mustn't be so reckless in the future!"
"I can't always protect you so quickly!"
The young woman sighed helplessly, nodded, and softly agreed, "I understand."
