Chapter 218 - Unwilling

Translated by Lesyt Team

Outside the pit, Ke Ke and the others kept guard. Caesar wanted to go up the mountain several times, but it was stopped by them. He just walked around anxiously.

They did not hear any sound, but felt a little bit of shaking, so they felt it was very strange.

There were a few people who wanted to go down to have a look. But the chief had said they couldn’t move until they heard the whistle.

They had not heard the whistle of the chief yet, so naturally they could not act rashly.

The sun began to go down.

“What to do?” Ke Ke looked at Tuo who was next to him.

Tuo shook his head.

As time went by, everyone became more worried.

“Hey, someone is coming up!” The man at the edge of the pit shouted.

“It’s team leader, Ta!”

“Wei and the others!”

The people waiting outside the pit went to surround them at once.

Ta and Wei found a place to put down the two men with serious injuries and ordered the others to take them down the mountain and prepare some medicine for them. They needed to rest in a place where there was no miasma, to recover properly.

“Wei, you stay here, I will go down to have a look.” Ta paused and then said to others, “Move away, and stay away from the pit. Don’t go down.”

After a short fight, Ta knew the gap between them and the bat leader. It was not a common ferocious beast, Even if everyone in the two advance groups fought against it, they may not be able to hurt the bat leader. But it was likely that everyone of them would be killed.

In the pit.

Shao Xuan was still activating the power in his body and releasing the energy of the fire crystal in his hand.

Fortunately, he had been absorbing the energy of the fire crystal, so he was not too tired. But everyone had a limited amount of energy they could absorb from the fire crystals.

Like those warriors who absorbed the energy of the fire crystal at the fire pit, they could only improve themselves a little. A junior totem warrior couldn’t become a senior one directly. If one was too confident or too greedy, he may die before he could upgrade himself due to the explosion of the totem power in his body.

Therefore, after reaching the limit, Shao Xuan no longer absorbed the energy. If he became tired again, he could then still absorb the energy.

And this big guy in front of them, from the beginning to the present, still greatly absorbed the energy from the red energy lines released by the fire crystal. If Ao could see those energy lines, he would be shocked.

A ferocious beast could really absorb the energy of fire crystal! They never knew this.

The light above the pit became less and less. Due to the dense miasma, it was very dark in the pit. Now it was even darker. If they kept waiting, Ao did not know what would happen. They did not like the night, for that would make them feel more worried.

Glancing at the man and the bat that both stood still, Ao carefully stepped toward Shao Xuan.

When Ao was just two steps away from Shao Xuan, that bat leader suddenly looked at Ao. It flapped one of its wings but didn’t open it. This was more like a warning.

A bead of cold sweat dropped from Ao’s forehead, and he even breathed more cautiously. He could feel the black warm fog from the mouth and nostrils of this big bat.

Shao Xuan made a gesture in the back of the bat with his other hand to Ao to tell him not to worry about him and not to get close.

Glancing at the moving wing claws of the bat leader, Ao decided to move back to avoid irritating this guy. Otherwise, Shao Xuan, he, and several others around it would not be able to escape.

Ao had intended to go back, but he could not help but glance at the arm which Shao Xuan held out to the bat. He wanted to find out what was in Shao Xuan’s hand.

It was very dark, but Ao was relatively close to him and he had good eyesight. Even though he could not see the color of the thing in Shao Xuan’s hand, he could generally judge what that was in the end.

The Fire crystal?!

He fixed his eyes on it and found the colour of the fire crystal had become much lighter.

The color of the fire crystal would change for only one reason!

Ao had seen the colour of the fire crystals getting lighter gradually in the fire pit many times. But now it was the first time in his life seeing the color get lighter outside the fire pit!

No wonder the Shaman had such a good attitude towards Shao Xuan!

Ao held back his shock, thought about it, stared at the bat leader, and walked backwards.

Moving back two steps, Ao felt he stepped on something, and with the toe he shifted away the soft soil on the ground. Then he saw a fire crystal the size similar to the one he had picked up earlier.

He had dropped the one he had picked up earlier because of the bat leader suddenly appearing and he did not know where it was now. Unexpectedly he found another one!

Ao picked it up with the toes and it was lifted from the ground.

Ao was about to catch the fire crystal, but he suddenly felt an something about to attack him. A shadow chased away the miasma, and it quietly arrived at him. If not for Ao’s rich experience and intuition, he would probably have died here, not knowing how.

After the previous fight, Ao didn’t dare confront with it and just moved his feet. The soft mud scattered because of the strength of his feet. He barely avoided the attack from something which was as sharp as a big knife by making use of the strength of his feet.

He avoided the attack, but before he went down on the ground, its sharp claws came down from above, and in the next moment would almost kill Ao there.

Fast!

Too fast!

The spear which Ao had used was broken, He could only take out a stone knife at the moment, and raise it to stop the claw. He knew that the bat leader had been able to destroy his spear and Gui He’s sword easily. He might not withstand the next hit, but he had to do so.

Ao knew that when his feet touched the ground, its wing claw would directly hit the knife, and even press hard on the stone knife. However, he could no longer retreat.

When the wing claw came down, an arm raised to stop the wing claw.

The sharp and fierce claw which was about to hit him stopped suddenly.

Ao landed on his feet, but did not run away. He still raised his knife, but looked at Shao Xuan in front of him.

The bat leader stopped for a few seconds and retracted its wing claw.

As for the fire crystal which Ao found, it was swept away by the wing of the bat leader before he grabbed it. He did not know where it was.

In fact, Shao Xuan did not have the confidence to stop the bat leader, who suddenly became mad. But he couldn’t do nothing while seeing it attack Ao. He just had a try.

It did work.

This bat leader really cared about the fire crystal.

There were many fire crystals, but the energy of those which had been dug out hadn’t been absorbed. There was only one reason for this - it could not absorb the energy inside the fire crystal by himself!

It could perceive where the fire crystals were, and the giant pit was made by it. In other words, it was very likely that the fire crystals on the ground were dug out by the bat leader himself.

Although it dug some fire crystals, it could not get the energy from the crystals. Shao Xuan guessed that it might have swallow the fire crystals as it ate prey. However, after all, even a ferocious in the transformation towards a king beast couldn’t digest those fire crystals.

It just excreted what it ate.

The ground of the pit was covered by rotten things, of which there was much that looked like mud. In fact, it was the feces of the bat leader.

The fire crystal at the foot of Ao, in fact, was what the bat leader got rid of from its body. The soft “mud”, in fact, was its feces.

Having avoided being killed, Ao still felt his fast heartbeat, then heard some sounds on the rattan vines. He saw Ta coming down from above. Ao waved his hand, indicating that they should not come over. If they irritated bat leader again, Shao Xuan may not be able to stop it from attacking them.

Ao had guessed correctly what Shao Xuan was doing, but due to his limited knowledge, he could not believe it. And he did not want to let more people know Shao Xuan’s secret. The Shaman certainly knew it, but he had not said it for some reasonable reason.

Three hours later, outside the pit, it became even darker. The little moonlight that could enter the bottom of the pit was almost completely blocked by the miasma.

Click!

A slight noise in Shao Xuan’s hand was heard.

The fire crystal, which could not be cut or broken by a sharp knife, cracked.

This also meant that the energy inside this fire crystal was almost completely consumed.

Shao Xuan turned over his wrist to drop the pieces from his hand. In this way he told the bat leader in front of him that the energy of this one had been absorbed. At the same time, Shao Xuan was still thinking: Don't dig out another one from the feces and make me continue to absorb the energy from it.

That bat leader flapped its wings to poke at the crystal pieces on the ground, which has become unobtrusive. No one knew what it was thinking and it just looked at the pieces for a moment, opened its wings, flew, and disappeared in front of Shao Xuan and the others.

When the bat leader left, Shao Xuan felt the air here become fresh. As the bat leader, they felt the stress release.

“It has gone.” Gui He came and said.

Ta also came, held a fire crystal, handed it to Ao and said, “I just picked it up from there... “

Before Ta finished his words, Ao grabbed the fire crystal from Ta’s hand and threw it far away.

Ta: “…”

“The fire crystals in this place, we had better give up.” Ao said.

“Why?” Ta and Gui He were anxious. There were many fire crystals!

“The bat leader knows this, and it will not let us take even one from here. Otherwise... I fear it will chase us and kill us.”

If it was a powerful ferocious beast, even if they could not defeat it, Ao would take the risk to take the fire crystals away from here. But this was one in the middle of becoming a king beast. That was why they were totally defeated.

If they were chased by such a guy... all of them may be killed. Ao did not dare to take this risk.

Many beasts in the mountains were much smarter than what the people expected.

“I agree with the chief.” Shao Xuan moved his painful arm and said, “Here, every fire crystal has the smell of the bat. Even if we bring them back to the tribe, we will be tracked.”

Ta and Gui He were silent. They all understood the reason, but they were unwilling.

Fight? They would lose.

Steal? They could not steal.

There were so many fire crystals within reach, but they could not take them.

So unwilling!
