Outside the giant pit, Keke and the others were guarding outside. Caesar wanted to go up the mountain several times, but he was stopped. He could only walk around anxiously.
They didn't hear any sound, but they could feel a little vibration, which was very strange.
Several people also wanted to go down to see the situation, but before that, the leader had ordered them to wait for the whistle.
They didn't hear the leader's whistle until now, so they couldn't act rashly.
The sun had already set.
"What should we do?" Keke looked at Tuo.
Tuo shook his head.
As time went by, everyone became more and more uneasy.
"Hey, someone is coming up!" The person guarding the edge of the giant pit shouted.
"It's team leader Ta!"
"And Wei!"
The people who had been waiting outside the giant pit immediately went over.
Ta and Wei found a place to put the two seriously injured people down the mountain and let them drink some medicine. They also needed a place without miasma to have a good rest, which would help them recover.
"Wei, you stay here first, I'll go down and have a look." After a pause, Ta said to the others, "Step back, don't get too close to the pit, and don't go down."
After a short fight, Ta also knew the gap between them and the bat leader. That was not an ordinary ferocious beast. Even if the two advance groups all fought together, they might not be able to hurt the bat leader much. Instead, they might all be killed.
In the giant pit.
Shao Xuan was still urging the power in his body to release the energy of the fire crystal in his hand.
Fortunately, Shao Xuan had been absorbing the energy of the fire crystal, so he was not too tired. However, there was a limit to everyone's absorption of the fire crystal.
Just like the warriors who went to the fire pit to absorb the energy of the fire crystal, there was a limit to their improvement. It was impossible for a newly awakened junior totem warrior to reach the senior level. If they overestimated themselves and were too greedy, they might explode and die because they couldn't control the totem power in their body.
Therefore, after feeling the limit, Shao Xuan stopped absorbing. It would not be too late to absorb when he was tired.
However, the big guy in front of him was still absorbing the red energy lines released from the fire crystal. If Ao could see those energy lines, he would be shocked.
A ferocious beast could actually absorb the energy of the fire crystal! It's just that they never knew.
The light from above was getting dimmer and dimmer. The thick miasma had already blocked most of the light, and now it was even dimmer. Ao did not know what would happen if he waited any longer. They did not like the dark night, which made them feel even more uneasy.
Looking at the man and the bat who were still standing there, Ao cautiously moved towards Shao Xuan.
When Ao was only two steps away from Shao Xuan, the bat leader suddenly looked at Ao. One of its wings moved, but it did not open. It was more like a warning.
A drop of cold sweat slid down from Ao's forehead. He even breathed carefully. He could feel the warm black mist coming out of the bat's mouth and nostrils.
Shao Xuan gestured to Ao with his other hand, which was facing away from the bat, to tell Ao not to worry and not to come closer.
Looking at the bat leader's wing-claw, Ao decided to retreat first. Otherwise, if he angered the bat leader, Shao Xuan, him, and the other people around would not be able to escape.
When he was about to retreat, Ao could not help but glance at Shao Xuan's arm, which was reaching out to the bat leader. He wanted to see what Shao Xuan was holding in his hand.
The light was very dim. Because Ao was closer and had good eyesight, even if he could not see the color of the thing in Shao Xuan's hand, he could roughly judge what it was.
Fire crystal?!
When he took a closer look, he found that the color of the fire crystal had become much lighter.
The color of the fire crystal would only become lighter in one case!
Ao had seen the fire crystal become lighter in the fire pit many times. But now, it was the first time in his life that he saw the color of the fire crystal become lighter outside the fire pit!
What did Xuan do? He could release the energy of the fire crystal!
No wonder the Shaman had such an attitude towards Shao Xuan!
Ao suppressed the shock in his heart. After thinking for a while, he stared at the bat leader and stepped back.
After taking two steps back, he stepped on something. Ao used his toes to push the layer of soft soil above the ground and saw a piece of fire crystal about the same size as the one he had just picked up.
The previous one, because of the sudden appearance of the bat leader, had fallen and he did not know where it had fallen. He did not expect to pick up another one now!
Ao used his toes to pick up the fire crystal, and the crystal on the ground was lifted up.
When he was about to pick up the fire crystal with his hand, Ao suddenly felt a strong Evil Spirit coming towards him.
A black shadow broke through the poisonous miasma and quietly came to him. If it were not for Ao's rich experience and intuition, he would not even know how he died.
After the previous fight, Ao did not dare to take it directly. He instantly exerted strength under his feet, and the soft soil was shaken up. Ao used the strength under his feet to dodge the attack which was like a huge blade.
He barely avoided the attack, but before Ao landed on the ground, the sharp wing claws had come from above and almost nailed Ao there in the next moment.
Fast!
Too fast!
Ao's usual spear had been destroyed. At this moment, he could only pull out a stone knife and raise it to block the claw. He knew that this bat leader could easily destroy his long spear and Gui He's saber. He might not be able to withstand the next blow, but he had to do it even if he couldn't.
Ao also knew that the moment his feet touched the ground, the wing claws would be nailed directly on the knife, even over the stone knife and nailed on him. But there was no way to retreat.
When the wing claws were nailed down, an arm was raised and blocked between the wing claws and Ao.
The wing claws, which were about to be nailed with a fierce attack, suddenly stopped, as if the pause button had been pressed.
Ao's feet landed on the ground, but he did not run away. He still maintained the posture of holding the knife, but looked at Shao Xuan in front of him.
The bat leader, after pausing for a few seconds, took back its wing claws.
As for the piece of fire crystal that Ao had just found, it was swept away by the bat leader's wing before he grabbed it. He did not know where it went.
In fact, Shao Xuan was not confident that he could stop the bat leader who suddenly went crazy. But he could not watch it go mad at Ao, so he could only try.
It was really useful.
The bat leader really cared about the fire crystal very much.
There were many fire crystals here, but those dug out showed no sign of being absorbed. There was only one reason for this situation — it could not absorb the energy in the fire crystal!
It could perceive where the fire crystal was. The sinkhole was also its masterpiece. That was to say, the fire crystals on the ground were probably dug out by the bat leader.
It dug out some fire crystals, but it could not get the energy of the fire crystals. Shao Xuan speculated that it should swallow the fire crystals like eating prey. However, fire crystals were fire crystals after all. Even such a ferocious beast that was moving towards becoming a king beast could not digest them.
It would poop out the same way it ate it.
The ground in the sinkhole was covered with a layer of rotten things. Among them, there were many substances that looked like mud, but in fact, they were piled up by the bat leader's feces.
The piece of fire crystal under Ao's feet was excreted by the bat leader. The soft "mud" was actually its feces.
Ao, who had just escaped, had not yet calmed down. He heard the movement of the grass vines and saw Ta coming down from above. Ao waved his hand, indicating that they should not come over. If the bat leader went mad again, Shao Xuan might not be able to stop it again.
Ao had roughly guessed what Shao Xuan was doing. But he could not believe it because of the limited knowledge he had. Even so, he did not want more people to know Shao Xuan's special secret. The Shaman must know that Shao Xuan was special, but he had not said it. Naturally, he had his own considerations.
Three hours later, it was getting late. The moonlight outside could not shine to the bottom of the sinkhole. It was almost blocked by the miasma.
Crack!
A slight sound came from Shao Xuan's hand.
The fire crystal, which could not be cut by a sharp blade made of high-quality stone, cracked.
This also meant that the energy within the Fire Crystal was almost depleted.
Shao Xuan turned his wrist and let the fragment in his hand fall to the ground. He told the bat leader in front of him that this one had been absorbed. At the same time, Shao Xuan thought in his heart, "Please don't find another one from the feces. Let me continue."
The bat leader used its wings to push the fragments of the fire crystal on the ground, which had become inconspicuous. No one knew what it was thinking. After looking at it for a while, it stretched its wings and flew up. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared in front of Shao Xuan and others.
When the bat leader left, Shao Xuan felt that the air here seemed to be fresher. The extremely dangerous sense of oppression from the bat leader was also much less.
"It's gone." Ta came over and said. He held a piece of fire crystal in his hand and handed it to Ao. "I just picked it up over there …"
He wanted to ask for credit from his father, but before Ta finished his words, Ao grabbed the fire crystal from Ta's hand and threw it far away.
Ta: "…"
"Let's not think about the fire crystals here." Ao said.
"Why?!" Ta was anxious. Those were pieces of fire crystals!
"The bat leader knows what's going on. It won't let us take any piece from here. Otherwise … I'm afraid it will hunt us down."
If it were just some ferocious beasts, even if they couldn't defeat them, Ao would take the risk to dig out all the fire crystals here. However, this bat was developing in the direction of a king beast. It could be regarded as a half king beast. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been defeated so easily.
If they were hunted down by such a guy … it would be a disaster. Ao didn't dare to take this risk.
Many ferocious beasts in the forest were much smarter than people expected.
"I agree with the chief." Shao Xuan moved his sore arms and said, "Every piece of fire crystal here has the smell of that bat leader. Even if we take them back to the tribe, we will be tracked down."
Ta was silent. He understood the reason, but he was unwilling to accept it.
Fight? They couldn't beat it.
Steal? They couldn't steal.
So many fire crystals were almost at their fingertips, but they couldn't take them.
Aggrieved!
