Chapter 221 - Dug it ou (2/2)

Ta looked embarrassed, probably because he realized that he was foolish for saying that.

They didn’t know whether they could resist the black fog and walk into the pit. In addition, when the five hunting team leaders had met the bat leader in the hole, it had not transformed. It had moved freely in the darkness, Mai and the others could not find its trace. And now, that bat leader had upgraded. Even though it was not a king beast, it took a big step forward, which really scared them a lot.

They were about to return to the old land. Ao did not want to take the risk and did not dare to do so. The Shaman had said they would have to face more people and more powerful warriors, rather than ferocious beasts or king beasts.

“But if they don’t kill it, it will get more powerful after it wakes up. Will it chase us and follow us to the tribe?” Dai worriedly said.

“There is the fire seed in the tribe, so it should not.”Ao said. They placed great trust in the fire seed. If a powerful ferocious beast attacked them and the people in the tribe couldn’t defeat it, the Shaman could depend on the power of fire seed to drive it away.

Dai was still not assured, and said, “It would be better if we could return to the old land by then. But if we can’t return, we have to go out for hunting. Won’t it pose a threat to the hunting team, or kill the warriors?”

“No,” Shao Xuan said, “as long as you do not provoke it, it will not kill the warriors of the hunting team.”

“Why?” Gui He had some doubts on Shao Xuan’s answer. Why was he so sure?

“I feel it.” Shao Xuan said.

Shao Xuan had a secret. Gui He and Ta knew about this, and Ao also knew that. He did not want to let the others know. They stopped asking for they saw the eyes of the chief which warned them.

A few people were talking when an ecstatic voice called out from the hole. It was the loud voice of Ke Ke.

“Boss! Boss!”

Ke Ke rushed out from the hole with a very wide smile on his face.

“Got it! Dig it out! A fire crystal. There is really a fire crystal!”

“Really? Let me have a look!” Ao could not sit still, and rose from the ground like a spring.

Ke Ke held a small fire crystal in his hand, and it was as small as a nail of the little finger, but it was indeed a fire crystal.

The fire crystal was covered with some soil and stone chips. It had been dug out just now.

Ao carefully took over that small piece of fire crystal and put it on his palm and wiped the dust off its surface.

Under the sun, its red color looked like the fire which could burn everything that touched it.

Different from the fire crystals covered with the humus and bat feces, this one belonged to them, for they dug it out on their own!

“Good! Good! Good!”

After saying that, Ao laughed out.

Without the bat leader’s interference, they dug out a fire crystal, so he no longer felt depressed. Ao laughed with his chest shaking.

Exciting! Amazing! Wonderful!

“Dad, give it to me. Let me have a look.” Ta rarely called Ao like this in front of others. When other people were around him, he usually called Ao ‘Chief’. But now he called him dad in order to let Ao know that his son was still awaiting.

But Ao did not understand his son’s mood right now. He clenched his fist holding the fire crystal.

“Are there more fire crystals?” Ao asked Ke Ke.

“Maybe...” Ke Ke scratched his head, he was not sure. He just dug out this fire crystal and immediately rushed here to tell him the good news.

“Go. Go into the hole to have a look!” Ao could not wait to lead the men inside the hole.

Shao Xuan fell behind. Before entering the hole, he raised his head to look at the mountain covered with black fog in front of them. Its top was as black as ink.

“Shao Xuan, come on!” Ke Ke in the hole urged him to come in.

“Coming!”
