Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Edited by Ilesyt

The two team leaders, Ta and Gui He, and the chief, Ao, hesitated and had strange facial expressions. They tried to resist the temptation of the fire crystals.

Holding back all the emotions, Ao said: “Go up first!”

The chief gave the order, so even if the others were not willing, they had to obey.

Going out of the giant pit, the two moons in the sky cast a light and let everyone see the surrounding.

Although the moonlight helped everyone see the surrounding objects, they still carried the torches as usual.

“The chief came out of the pit!”

“So did the team leaders!”

“Shao Xuan, are you alright?”

The men guarding outside the pit swarmed around them.

Among the eight people who had entered into the pit, seven were senior totem warriors, and one was an intermediate totem warrior. The seven had slight or serious injuries, and the only one who wasn’t injured was Shao Xuan.

Some people said that was because the seven senior totem warriors protected him, while some didn’t believe the seven with serious injuries could protect him.

Even though they felt puzzled, they didn’t dare to ask more about it, for they saw the chief and the two team leaders look upset.

“It seems that it didn’t go well.” Ke Ke whispered to Tuo.

Among the eight people who went down into the pit, seven had wounds, and they didn’t bring back a fire crystal. It was obvious that they had failed.

Many people had come here this time, and they gathered around the pit.

Fortunately, there was miasma everywhere, so other creatures did not dare to come here. They just needed to guard against those vampire bats for others would not appear. Then, from the twilight until now, they did not see any dangerous ferocious beasts come.

The most dangerous one was not in the pit now.

“It’s night. Let’s look for a cave to a rest. But there is miasma on the mountain, so we have to go down the mountain.” Gui He said and found that Shao Xuan suddenly stopped to stand there, thinking about something.

“Shao Xuan?”

Shao Xuan looked up and saw the people around him looking at him with puzzlement. He just shook his head to indicate that nothing special happened and he just thought of something.

“What did you think of?” Ao asked.

Shao Xuan looked at the foot of the mountain, and looked at the pit at the top of the mountain. He said, “I am thinking that if we cannot dig out the things in the pit, we can dig at the foot of the mountain, right?”

“What do you mean?” Gui He was confused at first, then his eyes flashed, and he said,“Dig!”

Like the beasts in the mountain that were good at digging, they could start from a remote place to reach another place. They couldn’t dig at the top, but they could choose a place from the foot of the mountain to dig a hole to enter the mountain.

If there was really a fire crystal mine, there must be fire crystals that had not been dug out by the bat leader.

“Yes! We can dig a hole!”

They did not want to give up, and the chief and the team leaders, who had hesitated until now, thought that the idea was good.

Ao led the men down the mountain, found a suitable place, and said, “Dig from here!”

There was no miasma in this place, so the bat leader had paid no attention to this place. They could safely dig a hole here.

“In two groups. Ta and Gui He each, lead your men and take turns to dig.” Ao gave them their tasks.

“Yes!”

With hope, Ta and Gui He no longer felt regretful and also became calm. Now full of energy, they didn’t care about their injuries. They just wanted to hurry and dig a hole to reach the foot of the mountain, which was below the pit.

“Let Caesar help, he is good at digging.” Shao Xuan said.

Caesar had great strength and claws. Soon, under the place which Ao had chosen they dug a vertical hole. Then in the hole, they moved towards the direction of the giant pit and kept digging.

When Caesar was digging in that direction, the others begun to dig deep in the hole. They made the earth around it solid to build steps.

Caesar dug out the soils and stones, which needed to be taken away.

“Shao Xuan, you rest for now. They can help.” Ao said to Shao Xuan.

Although Shao Xuan was the only one among the eight people who looked uninjured, but Ao thought Shao Xuan probably consumed more energy than them. It took a lot of energy to get the power out of the fire crystals, right?

Seeing Caesar’s progress, Shao Xuan did not refuse and said, “Ok, I will take a nap for now. If you need me, please call me.”

“Well, don’t worry. Go sleep. The bat leader must have gone to look for food, and it will not come back soon. We are not on its site, so we should be safe.” Ao said.

Shao Xuan really felt very sleepy, and then went away, leaned against the hole wall and closed his eyes.

He had intended to have a short rest, but when he opened his eyes again, the sky was bright. Maybe he had consumed too much energy yesterday, at night he had had a sound sleep. He hadn’t felt the movement around him and it seemed he had been isolated. All the fatigue and muscle pain had gone so he felt refreshed.

The sun was shining in his eyes when he opened his eyes wide, so he could not help but squint. He had intended to open his eyes slowly but the next moment, he felt something wrong.

The surrounding area was unusually quiet.

There was no sound of digging, no voices of discussion, and no sound of footsteps.

Snap!

The wood in the fire was burning, and the sound could be heard clearly in this morning forest.

Around him there was the smell of burnt meat.

But this place wasn’t empty.

Everyone was here, including Caesar and Chacha. Shao Xuan could feel that no one had left.

However, none of them made a sound.

Judging from the sound of their breaths, they didn’t feel calm, but felt extremely nervous. The frequency of breathing was not casual, as if they didn’t dare to breathe randomly facing with their enemy.

Facing with their enemy?!

Shao Xuan ignored the dazzling sunlight, and opened his eyes.

Feeling something touching him, he turned around and saw a strange big nose.

Shao Xuan: “...”

Fuck!

Shao Xuan suddenly became conscious.

The bat leader silently hung itself on the pit wall upside down. It was firmly hanging there as if it had no weight, and the bat’s head was next to Shao Xuan.

Near him, standing on the edge of the pit, the neck feathers of Chacha were on ends and Caesar was not much better. He exposed his teeth, and his body was tense, as if he could attack any moment

Those who had been digging, those who had been roasting the meat, and those who had been drinking water, all stopped what they were doing.

Those who had been roasting the meat dropped the meat on the stick, and didn’t care whether the meat was burnt. Those who had been drinking water threw away the kettles, and let clear water flow out of the kettles.

Everyone was holding the stone picks, knives, axes, and other tools in their hands. They nervously looked at the creature which appeared here unexpectedly.

The reason why they didn’t take action until now was that Chief Ao said they couldn’t act rashly.

No one knew how shocked Ao felt when he saw that the bat leader even appeared here. He was just drinking some water, turned around, and saw that the bat leader was hanging there silently, causing him to throw away his kettle in a scare.

Each of them, including Ta, Gui He, Dai, and Wei, who had been beaten by the bat leader felt scared when they saw the scene. All of their hairs were almost standing on end at the same time.

At the moment, everyone almost kept their original facial expressions.

The slightest twitching of their facial muscles and the beads of sweat on their foreheads and the arms... all showed their tension.

This situation was extremely tense.
