This time, Chacha and Caesar came with them. Chacha was searching in the sky. If he found anything unusual, he would warn Shao Xuan.
Walking from the foot of the mountain to the top, they were surrounded by black miasma. If a junior totem warrior was here, he might not be able to withstand it.
Even Keke and the others felt a little uncomfortable.
"Xuan, did you encounter this when you came here last time?" Keke asked.
"No, last time, there was only miasma in the cave. Outside the mountain, there was grass and other plants." Shao Xuan said.
But now, as far as they could see, there were almost no trees. Even if there were, they were dead and rotten, not to mention the fresh green grass.
It was all because of the miasma.
Everyone was slightly nervous. They knew that the mission this time was not simple.
While walking, Shao Xuan stopped and listened carefully.
It was like the sound he heard when he came here last time. There was a rhythmic sound of air flow, like someone was breathing.
"What's wrong, Xuan?" Guigou, who was walking behind Shao Xuan, asked confusedly.
"What did you find?" Ao, who was in the front, also stopped.
The breathing sound could not be heard by others, not even by Ao.
"It's here." Shao Xuan said.
"It?" Ta thought of something and became serious. "The bat leader?"
Shao Xuan nodded.
"Didn't you say they went somewhere else?" Keke turned his head and looked at the mountain in the distance.
Looking from here, they could see the mountain in the distance, which was much higher than the surrounding mountains. The mountain was surrounded by clouds and mist, and the top of the mountain was covered with white snow. That was the place where the bats had gone. Later, it was confirmed that the bats had occupied that place, and all the cave bears had been driven away.
"I don't know why, but I am sure that the bat leader is in this mountain." Shao Xuan pointed at the foot and said.
After some thought, Ao said, "Let's go up and take a look."
The last time he dug out the fire crystals, it was in the giant pit on the mountain. This time, he naturally had to go to the giant pit to have a look.
As they continued to climb up the mountain, Shao Xuan told Caesar not to get too close. He also gestured to Chacha in the sky to stop them from following them. In the wild, there was a strong sense of repulsion between Vicious Beasts. A single mistake could lead to an intense and endless conflict.
The mountain was not high, and they soon arrived at the crater at the top of the mountain.
The last time Shao Xuan had found this place to help search for people, he could still clearly see the situation in the sinkhole and the various plants growing on the walls of the sinkhole. But now, it was completely different.
The black fog was even thicker than the fog at the foot of the mountain. The originally clear sky seemed a little gloomy because of the poisonous miasma.
Under the sinkhole, there was an even thicker poisonous miasma.
The people standing above could not see the situation below the sinkhole at all.
"What should we do?" Tower and Guigou both looked at Ao.
Since the leader was here, he naturally listened to the leader.
"Dai and I will go down and have a look first."
Ao said, putting down a bundle of thick straw rope made of rattan and grass. He and Dai went down along the straw rope, one in front of the other.
The others stared at the sinkhole nervously, even though they could not see anything.
There were no other bats around. From the foot of the mountain to the top, they did not see any other bats. But Shao Xuan listened to the rhythmic breathing sound and was very worried.
He still remembered that last time when he and Mai went into the cave and encountered the bat leader, they were almost collectively killed.
Seeing the look on Shao Xuan's face, Tuo said, "Don't worry. The leader and the team leaders are here. Nothing will happen."
The others also thought so.
Last time, when the five hunting groups dug out the fire crystals and went back, they told the others about the vampire bats. Everyone was very afraid, but no one thought that the accident would happen again in the case of the leader and several senior totem warriors.
After all, the members of the hunting group were basically beginner and middle-level totem warriors. Compared with the warriors in the advance group and the senior totem warriors, they were much weaker.
Even Ao and the two team leaders felt that they could fight it out if they worked together.
Only Shao Xuan was not so optimistic.
They waited for a while, but did not hear anything below. Ao and Dai, who went down to check, also came up. They did not have any other injuries.
"I didn't see anything. Only some ferocious beast corpses. "Ao said.
Ferocious beast corpses?
They did not see them last time.
"Anyway, let's go down and see if there are any fire crystals." Dai said.
"Tower, Guigou, Wei …" Ao pointed to five people, "Go in with me and Dai. Xuan, you go with us. The rest of you will stay outside and listen to the whistle when the time comes. "
"Yes!"
The people Ao pointed to were all senior totem warriors. Shao Xuan, who could sense the fire crystals, naturally had to go down. He was the only intermediate totem warrior, so he was protected in the middle.
Walking down along the straw rope, Shao Xuan felt more and more confused.
"Something is wrong." Shao Xuan said.
The others did not say anything, but Shao Xuan knew that they were listening.
After carefully checking around and finding no other creatures, Shao Xuan said, "Last time we came here, the giant pit was not so deep."
When his feet finally touched the ground, Shao Xuan checked around again.
Still, he found nothing.
The sound of breathing was still clear, but even Shao Xuan could only hear the rhythmic breathing sound. He could not judge the specific direction, whether it was far or near.
The feeling of uneasiness was getting stronger.
At this time, it was noon. In the forest outside, Yang Guang was shining brightly.
However, in the giant pit, it was as dark as night.
The black miasma in the giant pit almost blocked the light from above.
Fortunately, the people who came down had better eyesight than the others, so they could see the surrounding situation with the dim light. However, they could only see part of it, and could not see further. The thick miasma still affected their vision.
The stink was not strong, but it made people feel dizzy. They did not know whether it was the smell of the miasma or something else.
Gui He stuffed a stalk of herb into his mouth and chewed on it. The bitter and refreshing taste stimulated his nerves, clearing up his somewhat dizzy mind.
No wonder the chief did not allow Keke and the others to come down. Even intermediate totem warriors like Keke and the others could not stay awake all the time.
While thinking, Guigou turned his head and saw Shao Xuan, who was carefully checking around. His idea was stuck.
He was also an intermediate totem warrior, but he looked very sober!
Compared with the last time he entered the bat cave, Shao Xuan's immunity to the miasma was much stronger this time. Even if the miasma here was thicker, he could still stand it.
"There are great changes here." Shao Xuan lowered his voice and said.
The last time they were here, the five hunting groups had left many holes because they were digging for Fire Crystals.
Now there were also pits on the ground, but they were much bigger than those left by the last hunting group.
Looking carefully, there were some deep claw marks beside those pits.
It was easy to guess who had caused them.
However, looking at those claw marks, if it was the bat leader, it had grown a lot.
In the giant pit, there was a stinky smell.
There were many corpses around. Some only had skeletons left, and some still had fur, but they looked very shriveled, as if all the water in their bodies had been sucked away.
No matter the skeletons or those with fur, they were all large ferocious beasts.
"Did it do it?" Ao asked Shao Xuan in a low voice.
"Yes, it should be."
The bat leader was most likely to be the culprit.
However, they didn't know why the bat leader would come back here after taking its brothers to fight for territory. It seemed that it had stayed here for a long time. Judging from the skeletons, it must have been here for more than a year.
How strong was the bat leader that could catch these large ferocious beasts as food?
Everyone was on high alert.
"Then … where are the fire crystals? Xuan, can you find them? "Ao asked.
This was the primary purpose of their trip. The others also pricked up their ears, waiting for Shao Xuan's reply.
"Yes!" Shao Xuan said.
"Where are they?" Ao suppressed his excitement and asked in a low voice.
"Right under your feet." Shao Xuan said doubtfully, "There is one ten steps to the right of team leader Ta, and there is one not far behind team leader Guigou. It was not like this before. "
So many?
Ao immediately bent down, intending to dig with his knife. However, when he moved his feet, he felt that he had stepped on a hard block. He dug the soil with his knife and saw the crystal with a very familiar texture. Although he couldn't see clearly because of the light, Ao was sure that this was the fire crystal!
Ao Dingding held his breath and looked at the thumb-sized crystal under his feet. This was the biggest fire crystal he had ever dug up in his life. When he was young, he had dug it up once by chance. It was completely out of luck. Many people couldn't dig it up even once in their lives, but he had encountered it. But at that time, he had only dug up a very small piece. Even so, he had been excited for a long time.
But now, looking at the crystal under his feet, Ao still couldn't believe it.
So simple? Such a big piece of fire crystal was found by him?
Even as the leader, Ao couldn't react for a while.
The so-called digging, was this how he dug it up?
No, no!
Just as Ao picked up that piece of fire crystal, a strong sense of crisis suddenly struck him.
"Be careful!!"
Ao and Shao Xuan almost shouted at the same time.
However, the next moment, they found that their vision blurred, and they suddenly felt that their heads were about to explode. Their vision, hearing, and so on all disappeared at this moment. After a few seconds, they calmed down again, but everything around them seemed to have lost its sound.
Ao Neng saw that Shao Xuan, who was not far away, was saying something with his mouth wide open. Dai, who was next to him, was holding the huge stone hammer, and his mouth was opening and closing.
Everyone seemed to have lost their sense of hearing at this moment. They couldn't hear other people's voices or the sound of the outside world, but they could clearly hear their own heartbeats.
Bang! Bang!
Following his intuition, Ao looked in one direction.
Over there, a black shadow was approaching them quickly.
He could see the folded wing arms and powerful hind legs of the other side. The figure was tall, but it seemed to be extremely light. There was no vibration under its feet at all!
When it came closer, Ao Neng saw its big open mouth, and its nose and throat were moving strangely.
This should be the reason why they couldn't hear the sound.
Bat leader!!
At this moment, the first thing that Ao thought of was not how to hide the fire crystal, nor how to fight against the fast approaching big guy. Instead, he rushed to Shao Xuan, grabbed Shao Xuan's collar, and threw him to the place where the rattan grass was placed before.
Here, they couldn't hear any sound. Ao was not sure whether the people above the giant pit could hear the movement in the giant pit. What he needed to do now was to let Shao Xuan stay away from the battlefield, and then unite with the other six people to fight against the big guy!
Shao Xuan was thrown out of the battle circle by Ao.
Without Ao Duo's instruction, the others were ready to fight.
The seven people were all experienced totem warriors, and they were all the leaders of the hunting team. Everyone knew what they were facing now.
This was a more powerful ferocious beast than the ones they had encountered in the forest before! A top ferocious beast! They must work together and do their best to kill this ferocious beast in the shortest time!
Dai, who was closest to the bat leader, took action before the others. Deep flame lines appeared on his thick arms, and his arms swelled up and became thicker. He held a stone hammer that was as tall as a man, but it seemed that he could not feel the weight of the stone hammer. He moved quickly and swung it toward the bat leader.
When he swung it, Dai's arms had accumulated all the strength in a very short time, and he suddenly smashed it down.
If there was no interference from the bat leader, they could still hear the whistling sound of the stone hammer, as if it would forcibly break the air.
Visible ripples spread from the collision, and the surrounding poisonous miasma seemed to be forcibly squeezed out of that small area at that moment.
There were no splashing stone chips, and no sound of impact.
However, at that moment, everything seemed to be frozen.
When the stone hammer hit, the bat leader raised its folded wing claws and blocked the thunderous blow with its wings as a shield.
While Dai Chao attacked the bat leader, the others also took action.
Guigou's knife was directly bitten by the bat leader.
The stone knife, which was bitten by the bat leader's teeth, seemed to be nailed there. No matter how hard Guigou tried, he could not pull it out.
Ta, Wei and the others, who were attacking at the same time, were directly hit by the bat leader's wings before they could get close.
Dai, who had swung the hammer twice, was hit on the wall of the pit, and his whole body was embedded in the wall. If it were not for his strong body, he would have been directly smashed into a meat patty.
Ao, who had thrown Shao Xuan out, went to the side, and the totem power in his body was instantly mobilized to the peak state. With a twist of his wrist, the spear in his hand rotated at a high speed, and the flowing air became sharp, tearing the surrounding poisonous miasma, and piercing directly toward the bat leader's neck!
However, the long spear in Ao's hand did not touch the side neck of the bat leader. Instead, it was pinched by the strange-looking wing claw. It used an even more powerful force to stop the swift and violent attack.
Ao only felt that the spear in his hand was pulled out by a more powerful force, and the hand holding the stone spear was extremely painful, as if it had been pierced by thousands of hot thorns.
