Chapter 220 - Bear with it for the fire crystals (2/2)

He was scared but when he saw Shao Xuan uninjured, he felt reassured. He felt quite helpless early in the morning when he was frightened and hadn’t calmed down yet.

Shao Xuan also saw Ao at the bottom of the pit, and made a gesture, indicating that he was fine.

Since Shao Xuan was aware of the movement of Ao, that bat leader would also have noticed. But it didn’t pay any attention to Ao. At this moment, it focused on thinking about how to absorb the energy from the fire crystal. However, if Ao took away a piece of fire crystal here, it would not be so calm. It would directly kill him.

Ao didn’t dare to get the fire crystals. After confirming Shao Xuan was fine, he did nothing and just stayed there to look at him in case of any accident.

After a while, Ta also came down. He came because he saw that Caesar, Chacha and Ao didn’t came back. He came here to learn about the situation.

“You go back first, and let everyone go ahead. I stay here.” Ao said to Ta in a low voice.

Ta looked at Shao Xuan and his father, nodded, handed Ao a spear, and said, “Be careful.”

As Shao Xuan expected, from the morning until finally at night, the fire crystal finally issued a sound and cracked.

Seeing the crushed fire crystal, the bat leader no longer stayed here. It flapped its wings and flew away from the giant pit to look for food.

Shao Xuan sighed and quickly left the giant pit with Ao guarding him next to him.

Shao Xuan was fine for he kept absorbing the energy of fire crystal, but Ao was exhausted. Although he had some herbs, he was weak due to the miasma in the pit. Leaving there made him feel better.

Shao Xuan hadn’t eaten anything since the morning. The fatigue and the empty stomach made him look as weak as Ao.

After going back to the place where the others were digging, Shao Xuan ate a few pieces of meat, and fell asleep with fatigue.

The next day, the same thing happened again.

But this time, before Shao Xuan woke up, it directly clutched him and took him away.

Ao did the same thing. He went there to guard him. Ta and Gui He worked harder with the others, as they thought they should quickly dig the hole, and when they got the fire crystals they could leave.

On the third day, before the bat leader took Shao Xuan away, someone was so nervous that he touched the trap set around the hole, which was originally set up to guard against the ferocious beasts which looked for food at night. This scared them to death.

The stone arrow was shot to the bat leader. It issued a sound and hit its wing, as if it hit the hard metal.

The stone arrow fell on the ground, and the bat’s wing wasn’t hurt, but the atmosphere became more tense.

Hit by the arrow, the bat leader didn’t get injured, but this could be seen as provocation. It was a little angry, but it didn’t kill the people around it immediately. It shouted toward the hole which the crowd dug so the hole collapsed. Their two-day effort was in vain.

Chief Ao and the two team leaders saw the collapse of the hole and their faces turned pale.

Ao went over to have a look at the area near where the hole collapsed. They couldn’t continue to dig in the original place and had to dig in another place .

So infuriating!

However, no matter how angry they were, they had no choice but to swallow it.

They couldn’t defeat or scold it. They couldn’t irritate it, so they had to bear the suffering. It was more powerful than them, and this was a fact.

Fortunately, now the bat leader did not want to directly attack them. If such a ferocious beast close to the king level went to the tribe, they would be even more helpless.

Fortunately, in the tribe there was the fire seed. The fire seed always made these ferocious beasts stay away from them. But, after this, how could they get rid of this beast?

This was what Ao was worried about.

“I think the bat leader has a need for the energy from the fire crystals. But similarly with totem warriors, it has a limit. It won’t endlessly absorb the energy, but it hasn’t reached its limit yet.” Shao Xuan said.

“Well, Shao Xuan, we can only rely on you!” Ao guiltily said. Before coming here, he told the Shaman that he would protect Shao Xuan well. But now...

“It’s OK. Anyway, it did not hurt me. It just wants to absorb the energy of the fire crystals. And, I think if it is satisfied, maybe it can help us in the future.” Shao Xuan said.

Ao knew that Shao Xuan was comforting him. His mouth twitched, but still failed to smile. This “king” level beast was different from the other ferocious beasts, it was arrogant and it was difficult to get along well with it. It was not as obedient as those regular beasts and ferocious beasts in the tribe. If they were careless and angered it, the consequences would be disastrous.
