Because of the bat leader's attack, the hole they had dug was ruined and they had to start from scratch.
While they were digging the hole again, Ao sent someone back to the tribe and told the Shaman about what had happened here.
Ao did not let anyone pass on the details of Shao Xuan, the fire crystal and the half king level bat leader. Instead, he peeled off a piece of animal skin and wrote on it. He wrote down what had happened here in detail, tied it with a straw rope, and asked the people of the Hui tribe to bring it to the Shaman. He needed to ask the Shaman about some things before he could make a decision.
Ao was not worried that the people of the Hui tribe would secretly open the animal skin roll and read what was written inside. Without permission, the people of the Hui tribe would not read it at will. Ao still had this confidence and also trusted the people of the Hui tribe.
When the warriors of the Hui tribe came back, they also brought the Shaman's reply.
Ao went to a place where no one was around, opened the animal skin roll and read the content written by the Shaman.
He thought that the Shaman would write a lot of things, telling them how to deal with the half king level bat leader. Unexpectedly, after opening the animal skin roll, Ao only saw one sentence: Ask Xuan.
If he did not know that the Shaman had chosen Gui Ze to take over, Ao would have thought that the successor chosen by the Shaman was Shao Xuan.
Could it be that the Shaman wanted Xuan to be the next chief? Ao could not help thinking.
No, it should not be.
With Ao's understanding of the Shaman, he knew that if the Shaman wanted to cultivate Shao Xuan to be the chief, it would not be like this.
Ao shook his head. Since he could not guess the purpose of the Shaman, Ao did not think more.
At this time, it was better to focus on the things at hand.
Days passed, and the hole they dug again had reached the foot of the mountain. It would take them two or three more days to reach the bottom of the giant pit. At that time, they would know whether there were fire crystals under the giant pit as Shao Xuan said.
During this time, everyone was less afraid of the bat leader because it had not appeared here for several days. Shao Xuan would take the initiative to go to the sinkhole early in the morning and did not need it to come again.
Ten days later, Shao Xuan consumed the fire crystals faster and faster. Using his special vision, he could see that the red energy lines coming out of the fire crystals were much denser than before. This also meant that the energy of the fire crystals was coming out faster.
Sometimes, Shao Xuan was able to return to the foot of the mountain before sunset and meet up with the others. Caesar was also called over by Shao Xuan to help the others dig the hole.
During this time in the sinkhole, Shao Xuan slowly figured out the bottom line of this bat leader.
As long as he didn't take away the fire crystals from the crater, it wouldn't get angry. During the time when Shao Xuan was consuming the fire crystals, he also cut off the two big tusks of the woolly mammoth and the giant horns of several giant deer, but it ignored him.
This day, when the fire crystals were consumed, the bat leader didn't fly away to look for food. Before Shao Xuan left, it flapped its wings and drove Shao Xuan out of the giant pit.
Before leaving the giant pit, Shao Xuan saw that more dense black fog was coming out of its mouth and nostrils.
In the giant pit, from the bottom, because of the deeper black fog, it gradually became as black as ink.
At this time, even if Ao went in with the herbs, he couldn't bear it.
The black fog came out from the top of the giant pit and spread from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. Even some of the poisonous grasses and herbs with high poison resistance living on the mountain died.
"This mountain is completely impossible to enter." Ao looked at the black spreading mountain and said.
"Fortunately, we dug a hole from here." Ta was very emotional. The place where they dug the hole was not surrounded by the black fog.
After digging the hole, they didn't need to touch the black fog and poisonous miasma on the surface of the mountain. Even if the poisonous miasma had penetrated into the soil and mountain stones, not much of it reached the hole, so everyone could bear it.
"Is it going to transform again?" Guigou asked.
"Very likely." Ao said.
King beast …
The bat leader was one step closer to becoming a king beast.
"Why don't we take this opportunity to …" Ta held the knife in his hand and made a chopping gesture.
Ao, Guigou, and Dai raised their heads and looked at Ta as if he was an idiot.
The expression on Ta's face froze, and he probably realized how stupid he had just said.
Not to mention whether they could bear the black fog and go in, when the leaders of the five hunting groups met the bat leader in the bat cave, it hadn't transformed yet, but it could move freely with its "shell". Mai and the others couldn't find its trace at all, which showed the gap in strength. Now, the bat leader had been promoted to a higher level, not to mention it.
Even if it was not a king beast, it had taken a big step toward becoming one. Slaughter? How difficult it was! If they were not careful, they would be slaughtered. Thinking about it made their necks cold.
They were about to return to the old land. Ao didn't want to take this risk, and he didn't dare to take it. The Shaman said that they would face more people and more powerful warriors in the future, not ferocious beasts, let alone king beasts.
"But if we can't kill it, when it wakes up, it will be more powerful. Will it chase us to the tribe?" Dai was worried.
"With the fire seed, it should not." Ao said. Their trust in the fire seed was stronger than anything else. If there were ferocious beasts attacking them, and the people in the tribe couldn't resist, the Shaman could drive them away with the help of the fire seed.
Dai was still worried, "If we go back to the old land, it will be better. But if we don't go back, it will come out to hunt. Won't it pose a threat to the hunting group and slaughter the warriors?"
"No." Shao Xuan said, "As long as we don't provoke it, it won't slaughter the hunting warriors."
"Why?" Guigou was a little confused about Shao Xuan's answer. Why was Shao Xuan so sure?
"Intuition." Shao Xuan said.
Shao Xuan had a secret. Guigou and Ta all knew it, and Ao also knew it, but he didn't want to tell them. So, the question ended here. Didn't you see the chief's warning eyes?
When they were talking here, there came a voice of ecstasy from the cave. It was Keke's loud voice.
"Boss! Chief! "
Keke rushed out of the cave, and the smile on his face squeezed his eyes.
"Out! Dug it out! Fire crystal, there is a fire crystal! "
"Really? Let me see! "Ao couldn't sit still and bounced up from the ground like a spring.
Keke held a small piece of fire crystal in his hand. It was only the size of the fingernail of the little finger, but it was undoubtedly a fire crystal.
There were some mud and stone chips on the fire crystal, which meant it had just been dug out.
Ao carefully took the small piece of fire crystal, put it in the palm of his hand, and wiped off the dust on the surface.
Under Yang Guang's hand, the fiery red color seemed to burn everything it touched.
It wasn't like the humus and bat feces in the giant pit. This one didn't have the smell of bats, so it was regarded as an ownerless object. Whoever dug it out could have it!
"Good! Good! Good! "
Ao said "good" three times in a row, and laughed out loud.
Without the interference of the bat leader, and with the fire crystal dug out, the depression during this time was completely gone. Ao laughed so hard that his chest shook.
Excited! Excited! Carefree!
"Dad, let me see, let me see." It was rare for Ta to call Ao in this way in front of others. Usually, when there were others, he called Ao "Chief". Ao wanted to show the fairness of a chief. He couldn't get more advantages just because Ta was his son. But now Ta didn't care. He called Ao out because he wanted to let Ao know that his son was still waiting. Let Ao see it first.
However, Ao didn't understand his son's mood. He closed his five fingers and held the fire crystal.
"Is there any more?" Ao asked Keke.
"There … there should be more." Keke scratched his head. He wasn't sure. He just came to report the good news after digging out the fire crystal.
"Let's go inside and have a look!" Ao couldn't wait to walk into the cave with others.
Shao Xuan was the last. Before entering the cave, he looked up at the mountain covered with black fog and the ink-like top of the mountain.
"Xuan, come here!" Keke urged in the cave.
"Coming!"
Looking back from the mountain, Shao Xuan walked into the cave.
