This time, Zhacha and Caesar came along with them. Zhacha was investigating in the sky. If they found anything abnormal, they would warn Shao Xuan.
Walking up the mountain from the foot of the mountain, black poisonous miasma is scattered around. If the junior totem warriors are here, they may not be able to withstand it.
Even nibbling on them is a little uncomfortable.
"A Xuan, did you encounter these when you came last time?" Ni Ni asked.
"No, the last time I came, there was only poisonous miasma in the cave, and there were grasses and other plants outside the mountain." Shao Xuan said.
But now, as far as everyone can see, there is hardly a tree, even if there is, it is dead and rotten, not to mention the fresh green grass.
All because of the influence of these poisonous miasmas.
Everyone was a little nervous, and they knew that the task this time was not easy.
As he was walking, Shao Xuan stopped and listened carefully.
Just like the sound he heard when he came here, the rhythmic sound of airflow, like someone was breathing.
"What's the matter, Ah Xuan?" Gui He, who was walking behind Shao Xuan, asked suspiciously.
"What did you find?" Ao also stopped at the front.
No one else could hear the sound of breathing, not even Ao.
"It's here." Shao Xuan said.
"It?" Ta thought of something, and his face became solemn, "That leader bat?"
Shao Xuan nodded.
"Didn't they say they went somewhere else?" Nii Nii turned to look at the mountain in the distance.
Looking from here, you can see the mountain in the distance that is much higher than the surrounding mountains, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the top can be seen covered with white snow. There was the place where the bat swarm went, as everyone in the hunting team saw last time, and it was later confirmed that it was indeed occupied by the bat swarm, and the cave bears inside were driven away.
"I don't know why, but I can be sure that the leader bat is in this mountain." Shao Xuan pointed to his feet and said.
After thinking about it, Ao said, "Go up and have a look first."
The last time I dug up the fire crystal, it was in the Tiankeng on the mountain. This time, I will naturally go to the Tiankeng to take a look.
As he continued to climb the mountain, Shao Xuan told Caesar not to approach that side, and also made a gesture to Chacha in the sky, not to let them follow. In the wild, the sense of repulsion between beasts is very strong. conflict.
The mountain is not high, and everyone quickly reached the Tiankeng on the top of the mountain.
The last time Shao Xuan found this place in order to help find people, he could clearly see the situation in the Tiankeng, and he could also see the various plants growing on the surrounding walls of the pit, but now, it has completely changed.
Thicker black mist than the bottom of the mountain permeates the surrounding, and the originally clear sky, because of these poisonous miasmas, also looks a little gloomy.
Under the tiankeng, there is a denser poisonous miasma.
The person standing above can't see the situation under the Tiankeng at all.
"What should I do?" Ta and Guihe both looked at Ao.
The leader is here, naturally he listens to the leader.
"Me and Dai go down and have a look first."
Ao said, put down the thick straw rope woven with a bale of rattan, and went down along the straw rope in tandem with Dai.
The others stared nervously under the sinkhole, even though they couldn't see anything.
There were no other bats moving around, and no other bats were seen from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, but Shao Xuan was very worried when he heard the rhythmic breathing sound.
He still remembered that the last time he went into the cave with Mai and the others and met the leader bat, he was almost killed by a group.
Seeing the look on Shao Xuan's face, Tuo said, "Don't worry, there are leaders and big bosses who are here, and everything will be fine."
Others thought so too.
Last time, the five hunting teams dug back the fire crystals and told others about the vampire bats. Everyone was very afraid. However, no one thought that with the leader and several senior totem warriors, The last accident will happen again.
After all, the members of the hunting team are basically junior and intermediate totem warriors. Compared with the advance team and the advanced totem warriors, their strength is a lot worse.
Even Ao and the two big bosses felt that they could fight together.
Only Shao Xuan was not so optimistic.
After waiting for a while, everyone did not hear any movement below, and Ao and Dai, who went down to investigate, also came up, and there were no other injuries on their bodies.
"I didn't see anything. Only the corpses of some beasts," Ao said.
The corpse of the beast
The last time I came here, I didn't see it.
"Anyway, let's go down and see if there is any fire crystal." Dai said.
"Ta, Guihe, Wei..." Ao pointed to five more people, "Follow me and Dai in, and Axuan, you too. The others will stay outside first and listen to the whistle."
"Yes!"
The people Ao refers to are all high-level totem warriors, and Shao Xuan, who can sense the fire crystal, naturally has to go down. He is the only intermediate-level totem warrior and is guarded in the middle.
Walking down the straw rope, Shao Xuan felt more and more puzzled as he walked.
"It's not right." Shao Xuan said.
The others were silent, but Shao Xuan knew that they were listening.
After carefully examining the surroundings and not finding any other creatures, Shao Xuan said, "The last time we came here, the Tiankeng was not so deep."
When his feet finally touched the ground, Shao Xuan checked the surroundings again.
Still haven't found anything.
The sound of breathing-like airflow was still clear, but even Shao Xuan could only hear the rhythmic sound of breathing, but he couldn't tell the exact position, whether it was far or near.
The feeling of unease is getting stronger.
At this time, it was noon, and the sun was shining in the mountains outside.
However, under the Tiankeng, it was like a dark night.
The black poisonous miasma in the tiankeng almost blocked the light above.
It is also necessary for those who have lost out to have better eyesight than others, and can only see the surrounding situation with that faint light, but they can only see the part and cannot see further. The dense poisonous miasma still has an impact.
The smell is not strong, but it makes people feel dizzy after smelling it. I don’t know if it is the smell of poisonous miasma or something else.
Gui He stuffed a medicinal herb into his mouth and chewed it. The bitter and cool taste stimulated his nerves and made some dizzy minds clearer.
It's no wonder that the leader doesn't let them come down. Below, even an intermediate totem warrior like them can't stay awake all the time, right
Just thinking about it, when Gui He turned his head, he saw Shao Xuan who was looking around carefully, and the idea just now got stuck.
This is also an intermediate totem warrior, but this kid looks very sober!
Compared with the last time he entered the bat cave, Shao Xuan's immunity to the poisonous miasma was much stronger this time.
"The changes here are huge." Shao Xuan said in a low voice.
The last time I came here, the five hunting teams left a lot of potholes because of the digging of fire crystals.
There are also potholes on the ground now, but they are much larger than those left by the last hunting team!
Look closely, there are some deep claw marks next to those potholes.
Wondering who caused it.
However, looking at the claw marks, if it is the leader bat, it has grown a lot.
Under the sky pit, there is a stench.
There are many corpses around, some with only skeletons left, and some with fur, but they look very shriveled, as if all the water in the body has been sucked away.
Whether it is a skeleton or those with fur, they are all large beasts.
"It did?" Ao asked Shao Xuan in a low voice.
"Well, it should be it."
The leader bat is the most likely.
It's just, I don't know why the leader bat will come back here after taking the younger brothers to grab the territory. From the looks of it, it's been here for a long time. Judging from those remaining skeletons, more than a year.
How strong is the leader bat who can catch these large beasts as food
Everyone was on high alert.
"Then... Where's Huojing? Can you find Axuan?" Ao asked.
This is the primary purpose of their trip, and the others are also holding their ears, waiting for Shao Xuan's reply.
"Yes!" Shao Xuan said.
"Where?" Ao asked in a low voice, holding back the excitement in his heart.
"It's at your feet, the leader." Shao Xuan said suspiciously, "There is also one ten steps to the right of the leader of the tower, and there is also not far behind the leader of Guihe. It was not like this before."
so much
Ao immediately leaned over and planned to dig with a knife. However, when he moved his foot, he felt that he had stepped on a hard block. He used the knife to poke the soil away, and he saw the spar with a very familiar texture. Although due to the light, it can't be seen clearly, but Ao can be sure that this is Huojing!
Breathing stagnant, Ao Dingding looked at the thumb-sized spar at his feet. It was the largest fire crystal he had ever dug in his life. When he was young, he also dug it once by chance. It is difficult for a person to dig once in his life, and he encountered it. It's just that what was dug up at that time was only a very small piece, and it made him excited for a long time.
But now, when Ao looked at the spar at his feet, he still couldn't believe it.
It's that simple? Such a large piece of fire crystal was found by himself
Even as the leader, Ao couldn't react for a while.
The so-called digging, is that how they were dug out
No, not right!
Just when Ao picked up the fire crystal, a strong sense of crisis suddenly came.
"Be careful!!"
Ao and Shao Xuan spoke at almost the same moment.
However, the next moment, they found that their vision became blurred, and suddenly there was a feeling that their heads were about to explode. Vision, hearing, etc., all disappeared at this moment, and it took a few seconds to calm down again, but everything around them seemed to be All lost their voices.
Ao can see what Shao Xuan is saying with his long mouth not far away, Dai next to him holds the huge stone hammer, his mouth opens and closes, and there are others too.
Everyone seems to have lost their hearing at this moment. They can't hear other people's voices, they can't hear the outside world, but they can hear the clear heartbeat in their own body.
Boom! Boom!
One after another, like a dull thunder knocking on the chest, the originally tense nerves became more sensitive.
Intuitively, Ao looked in one direction.
Over there, a dark shadow quickly approached here.
He could see the opponent's folded wings and strong hind legs. He was tall, but his movements looked extremely light, and there was no tremor under his feet!
When it got closer, Ao could see its wide open mouth, the bizarre movement of its nasal bones and throat.
This should be the reason why several people could not hear the sound.
Chief Bat! !
At this moment, the first thing Ao thought of was not how to hide the fire crystal, nor how to fight against this fast approaching big guy, but rushed towards Shao Xuan, grabbed Shao Xuan's collar and threw him towards the man who put down the vine grass before. place.
Here, they can't hear any sound, and Ao is not sure if the people above the tiankeng can hear the movement in the tiankeng. What he has to do now is to keep Shao Xuan away from this battlefield, and then join the other six people to follow this The big guy who appeared confronted!
Shao Xuan was thrown out of the battle circle by Ao.
Without Odo's instructions, the others were ready to fight.
The seven people are all experienced totem warriors, and they are all heads of hunting teams. Everyone knows what they are facing now.
This is a more powerful beast than they have encountered when hunting in the forest before! Top beast! They must work together and do their best to slaughter this beast in the shortest possible time!
Dai, who was closest to the leader bat, grabbed the action before the others. Deep flame patterns appeared on his thick arm. The original arm also swelled up and became thicker. He was holding a man-high stone hammer, but he seemed to feel it. Less than the weight of a stone hammer, he moved swiftly and swung toward the approaching leader bat.
When it was swung out, Dai's arm had accumulated all the strength in a very short period of time, and it slammed down suddenly.
If there is no interference from the leader bat, you can still hear the whistling sound of the stone hammer when it is thrown out, as if the air will be forced away.
The ripples visible to the naked eye spread out from the collision, and the surrounding poisonous miasma seemed to be forcibly squeezed out of that small area at that moment.
No stone chips were seen flying, and no impact was heard.
However, that moment was like a freeze.
When the stone hammer struck, the leader bat raised its folded claws and used the wings as a shield to block the thunderous blow.
At the same time that Dai attacked the leader bat, others also shot.
The knife that Gui He cut in the past was directly bitten by the leader bat.
The stone knife that was bitten by the teeth of the leader bat seemed to be nailed there, no matter how hard Guihe tried, he couldn't pull the knife out.
At the same time, the tower and Wei and other people who attacked at the same time, before they could get close, were directly swept up by the leader bat with a wing.
Dai, who took two hammers, was slapped on the wall of the pit, and his entire body was embedded in the wall of the pit. If it weren't for his strong body, he would probably have been shot directly into a meat pie if he had a lower strength.
And Ao, who threw Shao Xuan out, went around to the side, and the totem power in his body was instantly mobilized to its peak state. When his wrist moved, the spear in his hand turned at a high speed, and the flowing air became sharp, and the poisonous miasma around him was sharpened. They were all torn apart and stabbed straight at the neck of the leader bat!
However, the spear in Ao's hand did not touch the side neck of the leader bat, but was grabbed by the strangely-looking wing claws, and directly used stronger force to smash the swift and violent bat. One hit, and life is blocked.
The spear in Ao Zhijue's hand was pulled out by a stronger force, and the palm of the hand holding the stone spear felt like being stabbed by thousands of scorching hot cones, and the pain was incomparable.
