It wasn’t known what the bright red things really were. However, all the red dots were instinctively moving.
‘W-what is that?’
A cold sweat ran down Jo Gul’s back.
‘Qi? Or?’
Whatever it was, it wasn’t going to be good news for them. As they saw the red dots moving, their bodies froze. It felt like their bodies were giving them a warning sign.
Sensing the crisis, he looked at Chung Myung. No matter how unusual that man was, he was still the most trustworthy person in such kinds of situations.
“C-Chung Myung.”
“Uh?”
“What are they all?”
“Uh… they look like bats?”
“Bats?”
“Yes. I think I heard about red-eyed bats somewhere, so…”
Chung Myung titled his head.
“But…are bats’ eyes normally red?”
Did that detail even matter now?
Chung Myung, who had been thinking quietly for some time, clapped his hands as if he remembered something.
“Ah, right! Hematophagy bat! It has to be that!”1
Hong Dae-Kwang, who was shocked, now carefully opened his mouth.
“… then all the red dots are the eyes of those bats?”
“Uh, seems like it.”
“T-then what do we do?”
“What do you mean? They are bats. We should just pass by.”
Chung Myung calmly took a step ahead, and the others all looked around with nervous faces.
‘Will it be fine?’
Well.
If they were just bats, then it shouldn’t be a huge deal. Some people avoided them because they were disgusting, but they had never heard of anyone dying from a bat bite.
So, everyone relaxed and carefully followed Chung Myung. At that moment, Baek Cheon leaned close to Chung Myung from the back and said,
“But Chung Myung.”
“Yes?”
“I have heard of the hematophagy bats, but I’ve not heard anything about them having red eyes. Is it really true?”
“UH? Maybe not? From what I heard… ah!”
Chung Myung clapped his hands again.
“They might not be simple hematophagy bats. They have to be the Killer hematophagy bats. There are stories about how its bite can leave a person with all of their blood drained, only leaving their body. They’re hard to kill too, and are known to be sturdy and hard enough that even the sword with qi cannot cut in…”
The voice of Chung Myung gradually faded. And he looked back slowly.
Everyone was looking at him with trembling bodies and fearful gazes. Seeing that, he asked.
“… you know, right?”
“Uh.”
He took a deep breath and walked one step. It was a movement filled with caution.
“What will happen if we move…”
Step.
“making noise …”
