Chapter 674 He Cant Kill This Thief (2/2)

Shao Xuan could not find the answer nor heard anything else. At the Gu tribe, he could still hear the sound of splashes but here, he heard nothing. The feeling was there. This meant something was already watching the area even if they were not close yet.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound resembling a gust of wind. Anyone farther away might not have been able to hear it.

It came from above the field.

Shao Xuan looked instinctively in one direction. Caesar looked the same way but let out a low growl. Every hair stood on its end. Caesar did not rush forward, instead he looked like he was avoidant of this new threat.

Ao only felt like something was approaching, and had a faint feeling of the direction. His instinct told him that this was a powerful enemy. He clutched his spear tight, his gaze fixed in a direction.

The guards around the field had not noticed. Only Shao Xuan, Ao and the wolf were in the field.

However, the feeling quickly vanished. There was the faint sound again. Ao could not confirm the direction of the sound. He only knew that it came from the sky.

Ao turned to Shao Xuan, about to ask for confirmation. Should they go check immediately or stand their ground? It was not a good time to speak so he planned to gesture. However, Shao Xuan was not looking at him.

Shao Xuan’s body was all tensed up. He slowly turned his head to look behind him.

Puzzled, Ao, who was near Shao Xuan, also turned.

There was a Thousand Grain Gold plant with slender outward-extending leaves behind him. At this moment, on a palm-wide leaf, there was an object hanging from it.

Ao could still distinguish what it was in the darkness.

That was the reason why he almost drew in a sharp breath. However, fear had paralysed him so he did not dare inhale. He held his breath although every muscle screamed danger, his blood almost flowing backwards at this point. It felt as if he had been tossed into a freezer.

It was a bat hanging off the Thousand Grain Gold’s leaf.

In its claw was a grain it had just cut off the plant.

During the day, Ao said he’d kill whoever was stealing his grains. However, he realised he might not be able to kill this one.
