Chapter 219 - Dig a hole (1/2)

Edited by Ilesyt

The two team leaders, Ta and Gui He, and the chief, Ao, hesitated and had strange facial expressions. They tried to resist the temptation of the fire crystals.

Holding back all the emotions, Ao said: “Go up first!”

The chief gave the order, so even if the others were not willing, they had to obey.

Going out of the giant pit, the two moons in the sky cast a light and let everyone see the surrounding.

Although the moonlight helped everyone see the surrounding objects, they still carried the torches as usual.

“The chief came out of the pit!”

“So did the team leaders!”

“Shao Xuan, are you alright?”

The men guarding outside the pit swarmed around them.

Among the eight people who had entered into the pit, seven were senior totem warriors, and one was an intermediate totem warrior. The seven had slight or serious injuries, and the only one who wasn’t injured was Shao Xuan.

Some people said that was because the seven senior totem warriors protected him, while some didn’t believe the seven with serious injuries could protect him.

Even though they felt puzzled, they didn’t dare to ask more about it, for they saw the chief and the two team leaders look upset.

“It seems that it didn’t go well.” Ke Ke whispered to Tuo.

Among the eight people who went down into the pit, seven had wounds, and they didn’t bring back a fire crystal. It was obvious that they had failed.

Many people had come here this time, and they gathered around the pit.

Fortunately, there was miasma everywhere, so other creatures did not dare to come here. They just needed to guard against those vampire bats for others would not appear. Then, from the twilight until now, they did not see any dangerous ferocious beasts come.

The most dangerous one was not in the pit now.

“It’s night. Let’s look for a cave to a rest. But there is miasma on the mountain, so we have to go down the mountain.” Gui He said and found that Shao Xuan suddenly stopped to stand there, thinking about something.

“Shao Xuan?”

Shao Xuan looked up and saw the people around him looking at him with puzzlement. He just shook his head to indicate that nothing special happened and he just thought of something.

“What did you think of?” Ao asked.

Shao Xuan looked at the foot of the mountain, and looked at the pit at the top of the mountain. He said, “I am thinking that if we cannot dig out the things in the pit, we can dig at the foot of the mountain, right?”

“What do you mean?” Gui He was confused at first, then his eyes flashed, and he said,“Dig!”

If there was really a fire crystal mine, there must be fire crystals that had not been dug out by the bat leader.

“Yes! We can dig a hole!”

They did not want to give up, and the chief and the team leaders, who had hesitated until now, thought that the idea was good.

Ao led the men down the mountain, found a suitable place, and said, “Dig from here!”

There was no miasma in this place, so the bat leader had paid no attention to this place. They could safely dig a hole here.

“In two groups. Ta and Gui He each, lead your men and take turns to dig.” Ao gave them their tasks.

“Yes!”

With hope, Ta and Gui He no longer felt regretful and also became calm. Now full of energy, they didn’t care about their injuries. They just wanted to hurry and dig a hole to reach the foot of the mountain, which was below the pit.

“Let Caesar help, he is good at digging.” Shao Xuan said.

Caesar had great strength and claws. Soon, under the place which Ao had chosen they dug a vertical hole. Then in the hole, they moved towards the direction of the giant pit and kept digging.
