Chapter 185: Carrying Sacks To Catch Vampire Bats
Sad Pig Intestine: “Someone from their team bought lunch boxes from me before, not a main member. The leader they bragged about when showing off is ranked 16th on the Combat Power Ranking. They don’t know I’m with you guys, but I won’t pry for information.”
Purple Butt Can Do It: “I’ll teach you ‘Pouch Hands'”
Sad Pig Intestine is an honest person, Purple Butt Can Do It is an old hand, and the matter was settled just like that.
Everyone comforted Strawberry Candy a few more times, telling her not to feel burdened psychologically. It was no big deal. If anyone else in the team ran into trouble, everyone would help too.
At 9:30 PM, Yu Jiang finished washing up and prepared to sleep.
The Four-leaf Clover fan was already turned off. The miasma threat weakens at night, so there’s no need to use it.
Her poison resistance is not on the same level as an average player.
Inside the RV, only a warm yellow small night light was left on. Yu Jiang also added a curtain to the bed. At night, pulling it creates an independent small space, making it more comfortable to sleep.
When teaming up and traveling on the parallel road normally, teammates eating on the small table board won’t see her messy bedding.
It’s doomsday—who still folds the quilt? Anyway, they’re going to sleep at night.
Tonight, Yu Jiang woke up several times. It was really not peaceful outside. The black night and lonely rainforest amplify hearing.
The rustling sound of heavy objects crushing vegetation, and the sound of wings flapping, circled around the RV.
She finally fell asleep again, only for ‘squeak squeak squeak’ cries to start up.
Rats? No, rats shouldn’t be able to reach the roof. It’s bats.
Lots and lots of vampire bats!
Yu Jiang saw them when she went down to check the windows. The window behind the kitchen countertop had a mosquito net, and she had added a layer of anti-theft metal net.
Small poisonous insects fear pyrethrum. Even if bats had iron teeth and bronze fangs, they couldn’t bite through the anti-theft metal net.
Confirming no problems, Yu Jiang calmly took a sip of water, got back into bed, and continued sleeping.
The next morning at 6:30, Yu Jiang woke up, washed up as usual, and checked the vehicle status.
It was then that she noticed something wrong. Several human-head-sized vampire bats were still hanging upside down on the tree outside.
The light screen scan showed: [Vampire Bat: Carries multiple pathogens. Bites cause nonstop bleeding, 80% infection rate. Once infected, health value -30 (continues to drop within 5 minutes), usually attacks in groups.]
Getting bitten two or three times would drain health value completely—game over.
This is more troublesome than giant insects.
They tried to drill in through the windows last night but were blocked by the anti-theft metal net. Their bodies were too big to squeeze through the metal net gaps, and they couldn’t reach the mosquito net behind it. They only scratched it twice, which repair can fix.
Others weren’t so lucky.
Scrolling up on the public screen, around 2 or 3 AM, several people said they got bitten.
My Dream: Up Three Rest Four: [Oh heavens! In the middle of the night, the mosquito net was bitten open by a bat, and it chomped right on me! Gave me an infection buff. Save me!]
All Martial Arts in the World Are Invincible Except Speed: [Pinned one down with my shoe sole, but another flew in ‘Life is bitter’]
Milk Tea Without Ice: [I only have one Protective Shield Item Card left, used it here. It hurts, so much pain!]
Bridge: [Health value will drop to 45 soon. Intermediate Detox Pill seems able to remove infection status. Can someone lend me one first? Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!]
No one responded to him, and later his nickname went dark.
Someone in Yu Jiang’s friend channel also got hit, but they had detox pills. Even if primary ones couldn’t remove the infection status, they could reduce health value loss.
“Don’t bats only come out at night? Once it’s brighter out, they’ll leave, right?” Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy asked in the team.
The truck compartment was very safe. She had used anti-theft iron net on her compartment windows too, so vampire bats couldn’t get in.
But the compartment and driver’s seat were separate. To drive, she had to go out.
Yu Jiang replied: “Hard to say. Look up there—the branches are obscuring the entire sky. It’s still very dark during the day. The vampire bats here might just attack weaker during the day, not stay out of sight.”
Looking at the bats hanging upside down on the tree, Yu Jiang suddenly had an idea.
She had sacks. If she filled a couple and sent them to Heartless Water—this could work!
Thinking of this, Yu Jiang smiled, opened her friend list. First, she needed to find a teammate with high agility to catch them.
She shared her idea, and Shi Xu was silent for a moment before replying:
“6, it has to be you.”
Yu Jiang nodded: “Thanks for the compliment. Can you do it?”
“Sure, start the team up.”
Most people had just gotten up and weren’t ready to set out yet, but Yu Jiang and Shi Xu were already carrying dark sacks to the parallel road.
Catching them wasn’t hard. Someone acts as bait with Intermediate Detox Pills—that’s it.
Yu Jiang was the bait. Shi Xu was in charge of teleporting to catch vampire bats. The hand holding the knife now held a fish net Yu Jiang had picked up.
Facts proved how important a proper weapon is. Even the number one on the Combat Power Ranking swinging a net didn’t look as unstoppable.
Then, Lightning Mage King joined the team, zapping the vampire bats unconscious before catching them.
“Be careful not to zap them half dead, or their attack won’t be strong enough,” Yu Jiang reminded.
Lightning Mage King patted his chest. “Trust me, no problem. I can control the exact degree to stun them.”
Lightning Mage King lived up to being a psychiatrist—electroshock therapy was his specialty.
The three of them were super efficient. Yu Jiang’s sacks were good quality too. Any that struggled after capture got another zap and behaved, absolutely couldn’t escape.
They filled two sacks of vampire bats—probably eighty, if not a hundred.
After a short rest and wiping sweat, Yu Jiang took out 4 tracking cards to first confirm if the opponent’s main members were together.
Though she didn’t know what skills the opponent’s mains had, this gift should reveal something.
Tracking cards were collected from the merchant caravan. Using so many at once would make most people heartbroken.
Yu Jiang had Miasma Dispelling Pills and Advanced Healing Potions. Not just 4— even several more, and her eyes wouldn’t blink.
The wealth ranking strategy is two words: ‘rich’. Wholesale King Wang Defa uses 50 bullets for 300 crystal coins just like that—super lavish. She had various defense and attack items too. Otherwise, how could she sit steady as merchant caravan leader just from reselling?
Over the next half hour, Yu Jiang’s team gradually assembled: Strawberry Candy, Kuang Kuang Kuang, Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy, Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire.
Others wanted to come too, but Yu Jiang said no need, just going to deliver a gift. Han Jiang Gu Ying continued teaming up to escort the merchant caravan boss—money still had to be made.
Yu Jiang also used curare juice to temper five low-quality arrows for Kuang Kuang Kuang, adding some attack.
These arrows were normally consumables. Losing them wouldn’t hurt.
Perfect chance to test the tempering effect.

Meanwhile.
Heartless Water’s team was also gathering on the parallel road. They had just cleared a batch of vampire bats. Without Miasma Dispelling Pills, they could only focus on armor.
Miasma-resistant masks, aside from some high-quality items, were as tight as N95s. In the rainforest’s harsh environment where body heat dissipation was already poor, wearing them undoubtedly added to the body burden.
“Someone I know in the merchant caravan said their leader gave the word that Miasma Dispelling Pills all come from The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain’s side. They’re in a tough spot too.”
“As for where those Miasma Dispelling Pills and Insect Bite Cream crafting scrolls came from, no intel. That woman is very cautious.”
