Shao Xuan was staring at the bat leader next to him. He stayed silent for a few seconds and then stood up.

Shao Xuan’s movement made the atmosphere become even more tense, and the air seemed to be frozen, so they found it difficult to breathe.

Everyone was worried that the next moment that upside down bat leader would suddenly attack them. It was different from the ferocious beasts they hunted. On the contrary, in its eyes, they were prey.

After Shao Xuan stood up, the bat leader moved its head at a slight angle. It seemed that it didn’t feel the tense atmosphere and looked very calm.

Seeing this guy suddenly shocked Shao Xuan, but he was not too surprised. He just woke up so he was sacred for a moment. No matter who opened their eyes and saw this scene would be frightened.

It wanted more fire crystals, but Shao Xuan lost the one he carried with himself. Now he had none in his pocket. If the bat leader became crazy here, Shao Xuan would not be able to stop it.

While he was thinking about this, the bat leader suddenly moved.

It flapped its wings, changed its upside down position, and flew into the air.

The air flow caused by the flapping wings fanned the fire.

Everyone once became even more nervous once again, as if the next moment they would break down.

However, the crowd, ready to fight, Chacha, standing on the edge of the hole, and Caesar, poised to attack, did not make this flying bat feel scared. It did not even glance at the people around it. It flapped its wings and a black shadow flashed like a lightning, which appeared and disappeared. At the same time, originally standing there, Shao Xuan also disappeared.

Chacha cried and chased after it, and Caesar followed it.

“You all wait here, I will go there to look!” Chief Ao also went to the giant pit.

Yesterday, in the fight with the seven senior totem warriors inside the pit, Ao had the smallest injury. Gui He and Dai were seriously injured, so they had to recover. They shouldn’t go there again, otherwise they would get more injuries. After all, they were not powerful enough to confront with it.

When Ao reached the giant pit, Shao Xuan had been brought inside the giant pit once again.

Although the bat leader controlled its strength, its two hind claws pierced the animal skin coat of Shao Xuan. His shoulder was not hurt because he wore the shirt made of the insect skin found near the Eagle Mountain. But its great strength still made him feel painful. However, his bone wasn’t broken, his skin wasn’t scratched and he didn’t bleed.

The bat leader flew to the bottom of the pit and opened its claws, Shao Xuan fell forward because of inertia. If he hadn’t reacted fast enough, he would have probably fallen onto the ground covered with humus and bat feces.

It seemed that it knew Shao Xuan did not have fire crystals. After the bat leader had brought Shao Xuan, it walked around for a while. Then it moved its folded wing claws, dug out a piece of fire crystal from the ground and threw it to Shao Xuan.

The fire crystal thrown towards him was like a bullet. Shao Xuan did not directly catch it, but leaned to one side to avoid it. If he directly caught it, his palm may have been gashed open and the carpal-bone would probably be crushed. In addition to the fire crystal, the bat leader also lifted the humus and bat feces, Shao Xuan also avoided them.

After the fire crystal was shot into the pit wall, Shao Xuan went there to dig it out.

Shao Xuan avoiding it seemingly made the bat leader quite angry. Black miasma came out of its nostrils and its mouth issued a sharper sound of the air flow than ever before.

Shao Xuan looked at the fire crystal in his hand, which had a similar size like the one he was holding yesterday. But the energy of this one hadn’t been consumed, unlike the one he usually carried with him. It only took him half a day to run out of the energy of that one. But he had to spend more than half a day to run out of energy of this one. Even as his efficiency improved a lot, but he could not absorb all the energy of this one in such a short period of time.

He wouldn’t be able to absorb all the energy until the night.

Above the giant pit, there came the sounds of Chacha and Caesar. They were here.

This bat leader could break the neck of Chacha as if it was just a chick. It could also kill Caesar easily.

Before the bat leader moved, Shao Xuan put his fingers into his mouth to whistle to indicate to Caesar and Chacha that he was fine and they shouldn’t come to him.

Listening to the movement above the pit, he confirmed that Caesar and Chacha did not come down. Shao Xuan immediately began to activate the power in his body to let that fire crystal “burn”. In his special vision, Shao Xuan could see the fire crystal in his palm release several red lines. Some of the red lines came to him and others moved towards the bat leader.

Originally the bat leader was more than ten meters away from Shao Xuan, it came much closer to him when it felt the energy.

Standing in front of this semi-king beast, Shao Xuan felt tense.

Shao Xuan looked around, and found the bottom of the pit in chaos. Dirt could be seen everywhere, and the only difference to yesterday was that there was the corpse of a long hair elephant. That should be its food which it had brought back last night. It was difficult to imagine how it could bring such an elephant, several times its size.

A long hair elephant was strong and huge, but now its dry body was thrown there. Its bones were prominent. And its two large spiral ivories in the front drew much attention. But the bat leader showed no interest in these ivories and bones. All the dead bodies were dry, and their bones and teeth remained there.

When Ao hurriedly arrived at the giant pit, Chacha and Caesar were hovering around the pit. They did not go down. He went down along the rattan, which he had dropped down yesterday, slipped to the bottom of the pit, and saw the same situation.

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.

For the fire crystals, bear with it.
