Chapter 216 – The bat in the giant pi (1/2)

Edited by Ilesyt

This time Chacha and Caesar also came with Shao Xuan. Chacha searched in the sky, and if he found anything abnormal, he would warn Shao Xuan about it.

Going up from the foot of the mountain, they found themselves surrounded by black miasma. If a junior totem warrior came here, he may not be able to withstand it.

Even Ke Ke and the others felt uncomfortable.

“Ah-Xuan, when you were here last time, did you see all these?” Ke Ke asked.

“No, last time there was only miasma in the cave, and on the mountain there was grass and other plants.” Shao Xuan said.

But now, none of them could see a tree. The trees were dead and rotting, and there was no fresh green grass.

That was caused by the miasma.

Everyone looked a little nervous. They knew that this task was quite difficult.

Shao Xuan stopped walking and then listened carefully.

He heard the sound he had heard when he had been here for the first time. That was the rhythmic sound of air and it also sounded like one’s breath.

“What’s wrong, Ah-Xuan?” Walking behind Shao Xuan, Gui He asked.

“What did you find?” Ao, walking in the front, also stopped.

Others couldn’t hear that breathing, including Ao.

“It’s here.” Said Shao Xuan.

“What’s here?” Ta thought of something, and then looked serious, “That bat leader?”

Shao Xuan nodded.

“Didn’t you say he went somewhere else?” Ke Ke turned to look at the distant mountain.

Looking from here, you could see the distant mountain was much higher than the mountains in the surrounding area. It was surrounded by the clouds, and its peak was covered by snow. The mountain was where the members of the hunting team had seen the bats fly to, and later it was proven that it was occupied by the bats.

“I don’t know why, but I am sure that the bat leader is in this mountain.” Shao Xuan said while pointing at his feet.

Thinking about it, Ao said: “For now let’s go up and look.”

Last time they had dug fire crystals from the giant pit in the mountain, so they naturally had to go down into the giant pit.

Continuing to go up the mountain, Shao Xuan had Caesar stay away from there and made a gesture to Chacha in the sky to tell him not to follow him. In the wild, there is a strong sense of repellance between the ferocious beasts, causing bloody battles among them.

Last time Shao Xuan had been here to look for some people. When he found this place, he had been able to see the situation inside the giant pit clearly, including the various plants growing on the walls of the pit. But now, everything was different.

The fog, thicker than that at the foot of the mountain, surrounded them; and because of the miasma, the clear sky looked gloomy.

In the giant pit there was thicker miasma, so the men standing above it couldn’t. see the situation in it.

“What do we do?” Ta and Gui He were looking towards Ao. Since the chief was here, they naturally followed his orders.

“I will go in and take a look around with Dai first.”

As Ao spoke, he put down a bunch of rough grass rope made from rattan. He and Dai went down along the grass rope one after another.

Others were staring at the giant pit, even though they could not see anything.

There were no bats active around there. From the foot of the mountain to the top, no bats were seen, but Shao Xuan heard the rhythmic breathing sound and felt very worried.

Seeing Shao Xuan’s facial expression, Tuo said: “Don’t worry. The team leaders and the chief are here, we are safe.”

He still remembered the last time when he had entered into the cave with Mai and the others and had met the bat leader. They had almost been killed in a second.

Others thought so too.

Last time, five hunting teams had dug the fire crystals and had taken them back. They had told others about the vampire bat, so everyone was very afraid of it. But no one thought that the same accident would happen, because the team leaders and several senior totem warriors were here.

After all, the members of the hunting team were basically junior and intermediate totem warriors. Compared with those in the advance group, as well as the senior totem warriors, they were much inferior.

Ao and the two team leaders also thought that they could win if they worked together.

Only Shao Xuan was not so optimistic.

They waited for a while and did not hear any noise in the pit. Ao and Dai, who had been down there to look around, came up and neither of them had injuries.

“Only dead ferocious beasts.” Said Ao.

Dead ferocious beasts?

Last time they hadn’t seen those when they had been here.

“Anyway, go in first to see if there are fire crystals.” Dai said.

“Ta, Gui He, Wei,...” Ao pointed at five men, “Follow Dai and me into the pit. Shao Xuan, you also come with. The others stay outside and wait for the whistle.”

“Yes!”

All whom Ao had pointed at were senior totem warriors, and Shao Xuan, who could feel the fire crystals, naturally had to go with them. He was the only intermediate totem warrior, so he was guarded by the others.

Going down along the grass rope, Shao Xuan felt more and more confused.

“There must be something wrong.” Shao Xuan said.

The other people did not say anything, but Shao Xuan knew that they were listening.

After carefully checking around, they didn’t find any 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 once again looked around.

But he still could not find anything.

The breathing sound could still be heard clearly. Shao Xuan only heard that rhythmic sound, but he could not confirm the location and was not sure whether it was far from him or not.

He felt more and more anxious.

At this moment, it was noon and it was sunny outside the mountain.

However, in the giant pit it was as dark as the night.

The black miasma in the giant pit almost blocked all the light above.

But fortunately the people here had eye-sights better than others, so they saw the surrounding situation under the weak light. But they could only see nearby areas, and couldn’t see farther because of the dense miasma.

The bad smell was so strong that the people felt dizzy. They did not know whether it was the smell of the miasma.

Gui He stuffed a herb into his mouth to become clear headed, because he had been feeling faint.

That was why the chief didn’t have Ke Ke and the others come down. In this place, even Ke Ke and the other intermediate totem warriors could not stay conscious.

While thinking about it, Gui He turned around and saw Shao Xuan carefully looking around. He stopped thinking about it.

He was also an intermediate totem warrior, but he still looked very sober !
