Chapter 199 - Giant Wingbats, Hatching The Egg
Ban observed as the four Giant Wingbats spread their giant wings in the air.
Both of their wings have a length of two meters each. This is how they got their name, Giant Wingbats.
They flew and encircled the two dead bodies, as if they were inspecting if there was any danger around it. After flying in circles for a dozen times, one of them finally landed near the dead bodies.
It looked around again, and only when it confirmed that there was no danger that it crawled towards the dead bodies. The other three also followed suit and they landed one by one near the two dead bodies.
Not long after, they immediately sunk their fangs on the dead bodies, sucking the little blood that was left on them.
Ban smiled after seeing that they took the bait. He did not move yet and allowed them to drink to their fill.
Although facing four of them at the same time would not be a problem for him, he was worried that they might escape.
The Giant Wingbats won't be able to fly for a while after they finish sucking blood. It was recorded in the Book of Techniques so Ban naturally fully believed it.
He can also use poison there's no use for it as they would naturally fall to his hands the moment they had their fill.
The body of the Giant Wingbats was only slightly bigger than the size of a fist. They only looked big due to their massive wingspan.
Ban waited patiently and after fifteen minutes, one of the Giant Wingbats finally retracted its fangs from the dead body.
It's stomach was already quite bloated. It staggered backward before it laid to the ground as if it was drunk.
A moment later, the remaining three Giant Wingbats also experienced the same situation.
Seeing that, Ban no longer wasted any time as he jumped towards them at extreme speed.
A dagger was on his right hand while a bucket was on the other.
The Giant Wingbat was startled by his sudden appearance. They immediately used their sound-based Skill towards him without any warning.
Sonic Threat!
Four Sonic Threat was directed towards Ban at the same time. However, his Skill, Sound Shut was also activated at this moment, fully negating the effects that the Sonic Threat might cause.
The four Giant Wingbats was puzzled as they expected for the intruder to fall down after being hit by their Sonic Threat. However, not only did he not fall, it looks like he was not even affected by it.
The four Giant Wingbats immediately felt the threat that he brought with him. The four of them wanted to turn around and fly, but unfortunately, they couldn't.
No matter how they tried to flap their giant wings, there seems to be an invisible force weighing them down.
Ban arrived and immediately slit the neck of one the Giant Wingbats. He did not even bother checking if it was still alive or not as he threw it inside the bucket, before he proceeded to grab another one, while doing the same action earlier.
A few seconds later, the last Giant Wingbat was finally killed. It's blood was collected on the bucket, along with the others.
The blood of the Giant Wingbats was also a great stimulant for other Giant Wingbats. Hence, Ban no longer lingered on the area as he ran towards the exit of the cave.
Sometime later, Ban could be seen extracting the four Giant Wingbats from the bucket while sitting atop the branch of a huge tree.
The Giant Wingbats was originally black in color. However, as Ban put them directly in the bucket earlier, their hair was painted by their own blood.
Ban took another bucket from the Dimensional Storage Ring that Kuys had provided. Along with some water, he washed the body of the Giant Wingbats, before storing them on one corner of his Dimensional Storage Earring.
The Dimensional Storage Ring that Kuys provided was already a little crowded due to the things that he prepared for Ban.
Ban plans on collecting all of the Beasts he kills this time and sell them to Joana later. However, he could only store them on his earring, as the ring was already a little crowded.
After storing the four Giant Wingbats, Ban took all of the auxiliary ingredients needed to hatch the Dragonfly Egg one by one.
Following the instructions of the Book of Techniques, he mixed all of them together in the bucket that was full of blood that came from the Giant Wingbats.
He followed the instructions carefully as one wrong step might damage all of the ingredients together. There's also a chance that the Dragonfly egg will be spoiled and will no longer hatch.
He added ingredients after ingredients while stirring them constantly.
After an hour, he was finally finished putting the last ingredients.
He stirred the bucket full of blood and after another thirty minutes, the blood-red content of the bucket became paler, almost like it was approaching the color of pink.
Seeing that, Ban finally heaves a sigh of relief.
A pink color after mixing all of the ingredients was a success.
Ban finally summoned Eva again along with the Giant Red Dragonfly egg. Eva directly moved atop his head while the Giant Red Dragonfly egg was not held in Ban's hand.
Not wasting anymore time, Ban finally put the egg atop the bucket.
Using his hands, Ban scoops a handful of pink liquid before rubbing it on the surface of the Giant Red Dragonfly egg.
Ban repeated this process until the egg was fully coated by the pink liquid.
There was still half a bucket of pink liquid remaining but Ban did not plan on wasting them.
According to the instruction, the more pink liquid he uses the sooner it will hatch.
Ban let the pink liquid dry for a few minutes first before he started smearing it again with another batch of the pink liquid.
After another hour, the bucket was finally emptied.
There was also now a thick layer of pink liquid that has now solidified a little on the eggs surface.
Seeing that, Ban was overjoyed.
"Success!"
And a moment later, he suddenly heard a cracking sound, coming from the egg.
