After the holes were walked out, the people of the five hunting parties gathered together.

In front of them, there was a very wide hole, and it was impossible to see where the top was, and in front of them, it was like a fog.

I thought that some bats would be forced to hide in this direction by the smoke, but I didn't expect that when I arrived in this wider area, I wouldn't see a single bat.

Maybe I went to other holes, but I didn't have a single one here. Why, and what is so strange here, no one knows.

"How are you guys over there?" asked the other leaders.

"Fortunately, there are not many left in the cave, and it is not difficult to deal with. ”

"It's the same on our side. ”

"It seems that most of them are out. ”

This is a good sign.

"Something's coming!" said suddenly.

There are more than five bat caves that can be found outside, and there are other caves that also lead here.

"Do you want to extinguish the torch?"

"No, it's useless to put out fires. Wait, only two of them are coming. ”

Cheng gestured to the others.

The faint sound of wings flapping was very clear in the quiet cave.

Soon, the crowd heard the sound of bats flying out of another hole.

Whoosh!

Although you may not be able to see the two bats, you can judge their specific location by hearing.

The spears in the hands of the Mai people were thrown at the two bats as soon as they came out.

With a few pops, the two bats only uttered short syllables and fell to the ground.

Asked a few people to throw smoke grass in other bat caves, and Cheng stepped forward to look at the bats on the ground and the prey they caught.

The two bats had been pierced into hedgehogs, and the cow that had been captured had also been hit, and several spears had been struck, but. The cow is still alive, just unconscious. Like other prey, the bats only stunned the prey, but did not kill them directly.

"Look in the direction they fly, it's going that way. ”

Everyone looked in the direction that Cheng was pointing, and they couldn't see clearly by the light of the fire. Like a fog.

"Ah Cheng, will they ......" Ballast looked at the misty place in front of him and said.

The prey caught by the bats was sent there, and the three people who disappeared from the hunting team were also sent in that direction? Also, they came here this time to find out the cause of the abnormal behavior of those bats, and if they could find out, they could also solve the problem fundamentally. Otherwise, every time you want to dig up fire crystals, you have to risk being chased by a swarm of bats.

And the reason for the bat anomaly is probably there.

The five small leaders once analyzed and thought that the bats were probably preparing food for a leader, a phenomenon that is common in many animals. It's a very likely, and if it does, they'll do everything they can. Kill that boss.

The boss is in there?

If you kill the leader, will the bats disperse?

"Go over and see. Be careful!" Cheng said to the crowd.

Step into a foggy place. The torches in everyone's hands were significantly smaller.

Visibility was low, and there was an extremely unpleasant smell around it, as if there was a fog.

Miasma?Shao Xuan was puzzled.

The smell that rushed straight into their noses made them feel dizzy, not the stench of the batcave, but a dizzying smell. Fortunately, the smell of rattan grass softened the feeling.

Put a piece of herb in your mouth, and the herb will have a bitter coolness. Let everyone's spirits also lift slightly.

The sound of wings flapping sounded again, this time more, the effect of the smoky grass was limited after all. There were a dozen or so bats flying from the other caves, all of which were clutching prey. Mai and the others were about to throw spears to kill them, but they didn't think about it. They didn't attack the hunting party, they didn't even look at the crowd, but grabbed their prey and flew into the mist-shrouded place.

There was a thud of something heavy falling somewhere in the fog, and in a few moments the bats flew out of the fog and back into the cave.

"Their leader must be there. Cheng said in a low voice.

The farther you go in, the flame of the torch gets smaller and smaller, as if it is about to burn out. Due to the influence of the "dense fog", even Mai can only see within ten meters of the torch, let alone other people.

"This place ......"

Before he could finish his words, he kicked an object under his feet.

The nerves tensed instantly, and they entered a state of readiness. But soon, he discovered that the object under his feet did not have any breath of life.

"Dead?" Ballast kicked the object under his feet.

The ballast kicked the corpse of a dead bat, and besides, the bat had been dead for a long time.

Not only at the foot of the ballast, but also in the surrounding area, where the fog is shrouded, the ground is full of bat skeletons, that is, here, there are dead bodies of bats everywhere, and in some places there are several layers, which are a little scary.

Further on, the bat carcasses piled up thicker and thicker, like a hill.

Dead bats.

It's all dead bats.

And there are many miserable deaths, incomplete corpses, and they have been brutally torn off before they die.

No wonder the bats in the cave don't make it, it's a graveyard for bats!

"Each one is big...... I've been dead for a while. Cheng said after looking at a few on the ground around him.

"Look at the marks left on them, it's like cannibalism. ”

"Why do they kill each other?"

"I remember that in some herds, in order to elect a leader, you have to go through a fight. Mai said.

"What do you mean......"

"Sure there's their boss here?!"

Everyone suddenly became nervous, if these bats were all alive, such a huge number and such a size, the five small leaders would not dare to bring people over directly. And with so many bats, what kind of fierce beast will it be?

Even so, there was no intention of retreating in everyone's hearts.

In fact, when discussing with Mai and them, Shao Xuan once proposed to go back to the tribe to find reinforcements, after all, the hunting has just begun, and they are only in the first stronghold, and it is faster to go back to the tribe to find someone than to find the advance team. Moreover, when you go back to the tribe, you can find a lot of people to come and help, so it's safer.

However, Shao Xuan's mention was vetoed by everyone. One is the rivalry between two hunting teams. The five small leaders didn't want the other team's people to participate, and they didn't even want them to know the news. Second, the more people participate, the less everyone will share, and everyone will not want to.

Shao Xuan's idea is to stay in Qingshan. I'm not afraid of running out of firewood, but other people's thoughts are that for the sake of fire crystals, let's die.

This is what the tribesmen think, in front of Mai also reprimanded Shao Xuan for "digging what can be more important than life", and everyone in the back became extremely crazy.

Shao Xuan underestimated this madness, so when the five small leaders were discussing the action, he knew that these people really planned to fight for their lives.

As they move on. It is still possible to hear bats in the air transporting prey non-stop. None of the bats cared about the people in the fog and went about their own business.

Bang!

There was another sound of prey falling to the ground.

The prey fell to the ground, and it was very close to the people of the hunting party.

"Wait!!" Cheng whispered.

"The sound of breathing. Mai and the others also noticed it.

There was a lot of breathing around here.

The breath of living creatures other than hunting party warriors and bats in the air is very, very numerous. It's just that every breath is weak.

Like climbing a mountain, step on the thick bat carcass, and then continue to move forward.

The torch was already faintly lit. Reduced to only one-fifth of the original, the vision is strictly limited. Nowadays, people rely more on hearing to understand what is happening around them.

Some of the junior totem warriors couldn't bear it anymore, it was almost to their limit, they almost held on to prevent themselves from fainting, the effect of vine grass and medicinal herbs was already minimal, and they couldn't resist the poisonous miasma in this mist.

"Those who can't hold it stop first. I can continue to be able to hold on. Mai said.

The other four squads did the same.

Shao Xuan held the small fire crystal in his hand, and the energy from the fire crystal allowed him to maintain his clarity, which he could carry for a longer time than other junior totem warriors.

"It's a bighorn deer!" someone found a living creature on the ground.

"And the gazelle!"

"Wild boars too!"

Live animals began to appear in the surrounding area one after another, but these animals were in a deep coma. In this foggy place, they can't wake up. Even if you wake up and take a breath, you will pass out again.

The hearts of the people of the hunting team were happy, and the three missing people should also be here and should be alive.

There are all kinds of animals thrown on the hill-like bat carcasses, and it is not easy to find people in such a large area.

"Ah Xuan, can you see it?" Mai remembered that Shao Xuan's night vision was better than that of ordinary people, and asked.

"It's not far. I try as much as I can. Shao Xuan said.

Shao Xuan used a special ability to see objects around him, but he also felt that there was a layer of fog blocking him, and he couldn't really see it, and he could only see things within fifty meters. Even so, Shao Xuan is much better than the others.

Because all you see are skeletons, you can only tell what kind of animals these are from the skeletons.

While the others were vigilant around, Shao Xuan searched for the skeletons of the three humans in a field full of skeletons.

Most of the junior totem warriors had long since stopped and failed to follow, and Shao Xuan was the only young warrior who had followed here.

However, everyone thinks that it should be the reason why Shao Xuan has learned from Wu Xuan, so that he can persist here.

The energy of the fire crystal in his hand was constantly absorbed into his hand, allowing the totem in his mind, which had been gradually declining, to continue to hold on, but it was only barely maintained.

Shao Xuan thought to himself, probably the energy of the fire crystal was almost finished, and now it was far less absorbed than before.

The sound of the air flow with the rhythm of breathing still exists, but Shao Xuan can't find the source of this sound, and others can't hear it.

His gaze swept over a pile of skeletons, and finally settled on the human-like one.

"Found it!" Shao Xuan said in a low voice.

Cheng led people towards the place Shao Xuan pointed out, and really saw the people on the ground, the three of them were not far away, and besides, there was still breathing.

found the three people, but Shao Xuan was still uneasy in his heart, and always felt that there was something around.

Looking down at the hand holding the fire crystal, with just one glance, Shao Xuan felt that his scalp was numb, his hair was about to stand up, his hair was standing up, and the coldness seeped into every bone.

In Shao Xuan's hand, the red energy lines released by the "burning" of the fire crystal did not all enter Shao Xuan's body as usual, and some of them floated behind Shao Xuan
