61 Unaware of the Oriole Behind (2/2)
The blood stopped flowing, as if blocked by some barrier. Chilong raised his axe high before using a tree as a stepping stone to spin through the air with his axe. He could feel a sense of heightened adrenaline coursing through his body as he moved. The bat screeched and using it's wings deflected the axe back at him.

”Grow! GROW!”
Xin Fan paced back and forth as he stared at the almost grown crops. From one look, the Ice Heart Rice was fully grown however more astute people could see that it didn't release the same aura as one that was fully grown.
”Do you really think this would work?”
Xin Kong looked worriedly as he saw the unnerved Xin Fan pacing back and forth.
”I can only hope. With my current body condition, my only hope is that something happens when I reach the middle tier.”
*Crack*
Xin Fan slowly heard the sound of ice cracking as some of the rice started to shift a bit.

”Ahh!”
The bat's mouth crushed the shield of ice hovering over Tianfei's back slightly breaking skin with its sharp fangs. Chilong raised his axe and struck down spitting flames into the eyes of the bat causing it to release its grip and retreat backwards.
”Runt, you better pay me back later.”
The bat screamed as it rampaged forwards sending trees flying as it moved. Tianfei flashed through the skies and dodged the blow by moving to a distant tree. Chilong jumped aside but not before the bat turned whipping him with its needle-like tail. It turned to him with its gaping jaws and charged forwards releasing a smoky substance from its mouth. A blade of energy came from above shutting the mouth tight before it could do anything.
”Consider this repaid!”
Chilong rolled aside allowing the bat to pass aside him.
”Huff...huff.”
The orb on the bat's neck now glowed a dark green before enveloping the bat in a green aura. The bat flashed backwards at high speeds and stabbed forwards with its tail. Chilong shifted his axe backwards blocking the blow distributing the force throughout his entire body.

”It's almost done....please hurry up...They can't stall for any longer. I cannot let them down.”
*Crack*
The grains of rice shook against the wind withing the domain. It shook left and right before finally it shot up straight a inch or two.
[ Your plants are ready for harvest ]
”It's finally done! Harvest Slash!”
