Chapter 219 - Dig a hole (2/2)

When Caesar was digging in that direction, the others begun to dig deep in the hole. They made the earth around it solid to build steps.

Caesar dug out the soils and stones, which needed to be taken away.

“Shao Xuan, you rest for now. They can help.” Ao said to Shao Xuan.

Although Shao Xuan was the only one among the eight people who looked uninjured, but Ao thought Shao Xuan probably consumed more energy than them. It took a lot of energy to get the power out of the fire crystals, right?

Seeing Caesar’s progress, Shao Xuan did not refuse and said, “Ok, I will take a nap for now. If you need me, please call me.”

“Well, don’t worry. Go sleep. The bat leader must have gone to look for food, and it will not come back soon. We are not on its site, so we should be safe.” Ao said.

Shao Xuan really felt very sleepy, and then went away, leaned against the hole wall and closed his eyes.

He had intended to have a short rest, but when he opened his eyes again, the sky was bright. Maybe he had consumed too much energy yesterday, at night he had had a sound sleep. He hadn’t felt the movement around him and it seemed he had been isolated. All the fatigue and muscle pain had gone so he felt refreshed.

The sun was shining in his eyes when he opened his eyes wide, so he could not help but squint. He had intended to open his eyes slowly but the next moment, he felt something wrong.

The surrounding area was unusually quiet.

There was no sound of digging, no voices of discussion, and no sound of footsteps.

Snap!

The wood in the fire was burning, and the sound could be heard clearly in this morning forest.

Around him there was the smell of burnt meat.

But this place wasn’t empty.

Everyone was here, including Caesar and Chacha. Shao Xuan could feel that no one had left.

However, none of them made a sound.

Judging from the sound of their breaths, they didn’t feel calm, but felt extremely nervous. The frequency of breathing was not casual, as if they didn’t dare to breathe randomly facing with their enemy.

Facing with their enemy?!

Shao Xuan ignored the dazzling sunlight, and opened his eyes.

Feeling something touching him, he turned around and saw a strange big nose.

Shao Xuan: “...”

Fuck!

Shao Xuan suddenly became conscious.

The bat leader silently hung itself on the pit wall upside down. It was firmly hanging there as if it had no weight, and the bat’s head was next to Shao Xuan.

Near him, standing on the edge of the pit, the neck feathers of Chacha were on ends and Caesar was not much better. He exposed his teeth, and his body was tense, as if he could attack any moment

Those who had been digging, those who had been roasting the meat, and those who had been drinking water, all stopped what they were doing.

Those who had been roasting the meat dropped the meat on the stick, and didn’t care whether the meat was burnt. Those who had been drinking water threw away the kettles, and let clear water flow out of the kettles.

Everyone was holding the stone picks, knives, axes, and other tools in their hands. They nervously looked at the creature which appeared here unexpectedly.

The reason why they didn’t take action until now was that Chief Ao said they couldn’t act rashly.

No one knew how shocked Ao felt when he saw that the bat leader even appeared here. He was just drinking some water, turned around, and saw that the bat leader was hanging there silently, causing him to throw away his kettle in a scare.

Each of them, including Ta, Gui He, Dai, and Wei, who had been beaten by the bat leader felt scared when they saw the scene. All of their hairs were almost standing on end at the same time.

At the moment, everyone almost kept their original facial expressions.

The slightest twitching of their facial muscles and the beads of sweat on their foreheads and the arms... all showed their tension.
