The bats that could appear behind them so quietly, so far, Shao Xuan had encountered one, which was the one he encountered when he was digging fire crystals, and it was also the object that everyone in Yanjiao was unwilling to provoke again.

And now, the one behind Shao Xuan and Ao is the same leader bat that they saw back then.

Although it was not a king beast, it was also a half-king beast, which caused a huge psychological shadow to several people in Yanjiao back then, and later the route of the hunting team was rerouted.

In the face of such an opponent, can you easily cut it?

Apparently not.

Ao didn't know what to do now, so he just stood there motionless.

The incision of the thousand-grain golden grain ear is very smooth, and the thing that cuts it is very sharp, and the speed is extremely fast, I thought it was cut by the "thief" with a sharp weapon, but now I know that it is only this leader bat.

Who would have predicted?

The question is, didn't this leader bat always carry a swarm of bats on the high mountains on the other side of the forest?

When the sinkhole where the fire crystal was found, it was once occupied by a swarm of bats, but then after this leader bat appeared, he took the bat swarm to grab a new territory, a whole mountain, the peaks are towering into the clouds, it is a large territory, and it is not close to here, even if the speed of this leader bat is fast, but at this time, he flies to the cultivated land of the Yanjiao tribe every day, and cuts an ear of grain every day, why?

Could it be that it is interested in a thousand grains of gold?

It stands to reason that the attraction of the immature thousand grains of gold is not enough to attract it from the depths of the mountains and forests.

Shao Xuan's mind turned sharply, thinking about how to deal with the current situation, even if his strength is stronger now than at the beginning, Ao and they have also improved because of the fusion of fire, but if they really want to meet this leader bat, they will definitely not be pleased.

Under the moonlight. A terrifying creature just hung upside down on the thousand-grain gold tree two steps away from them in silence, without any movement, just looking at Shao Xuan and Ao, and looking at Shao Xuan more.

And just when Shao Xuan was thinking about how to deal with it. The bat, which hung upside down on a thousand grains of gold, moved its wings almost silently, and then flashed like a black shadow, which was not obvious in the night, and soon disappeared into the cultivated field.

The tense aura is gone.

Caesar's hair was still blowing, and he was careful to open his eyes and look around.

Whew――

Shao Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

He didn't expect it to be this guy.

"It'...... Left?" asked Ao in a low voice.

"Well, it's gone. ”

Heard Shao Xuan's answer. Ao Yi sat on the ground, regardless of whether there was still organic fertilizer in the soil on the ground during the day.

Wiping the sweat that kept running down his forehead, Ao looked at Shao Xuan, "It should be it, right?"

"That's it. ”

Saying that, Shao Xuan walked in the direction where he first noticed the strange aura, and over there, they found the fourth thousand-grain gold tree that had been cut with ears of grain, and still only one was cut, and the cut was fresh. There is also green juice flowing out of the fracture.

Just looking at the incision here, it is the same as the incision on the other three trees that Ao pointed out to Shao Xuan.

The "thief" was identified. But I don't know for a while, how to deal with this thief who has been walking around the thousand grains of gold field every day recently?

Fighting, it will definitely pay a lot of price.

If you don't fight, the leader bat will probably come over once a day, and now it is no longer in the depths of the mountains and forests, Shao Xuan has a feeling. It must be not far from the headquarters of Flamehorn, not back to the bat mountain it occupied.

"Ask the people in the hunting team if they noticed anything unusual when they went out hunting. Shao Xuan said.

If there aren't enough factors here to attract the Leader Bat, then. It's likely that something happened on Bat Mountain.

"Hmm. Ao had a calm face, full of worries, and worried.

If it was a thief, he was still sure that he would be able to fight a dozen, but he was really not sure that he could fight against this opponent.

When Shao Xuan and Ao walked out of the cultivated land of a thousand grains of gold, the people guarding outside were still quite puzzled, "Great Elder, Elder Ao, are you leaving?"

Ao lowered his eyelids, looking preoccupied, completely unresponsive to what the guard had just said.

Shao Xuan didn't want to say more, saying too much would cause panic, but said: "You all be careful, if you encounter a situation where you can't resist, withdraw first." ”

Before the people guarding outside could react to what Shao Xuan meant, Shao Xuan and Ao had already left.

Tonight, since the leader bat has already left with a thousand golden grains, he should not come back, even if he finds Shao Xuan and Ao them, but since there was no other action at that time, he will not come back to do anything after leaving, just like a few days ago, silently, no one knows.

Shao Xuan and Ao Da hurried back to the tribe in the middle of the night and called out several hunting party leaders who had fallen asleep.

"What's going on?" Mai yawned, and when he entered the house, he found that Shao Xuan and Ao, as well as Gui Yan, Ta and others were all here, and several other big and small leaders also came over one after another.

Soon, except for the people who stayed on the side of the trading area by Duokang and Zhengluo, all the people above the boss level were called here.

It was built on the hill to discuss important matters, and the animal skin curtains on the windows were pulled down to block out the light and sound inside.

The faces of the elders and leaders were very serious, which also made the room feel nervous, if it was not particularly important and urgent, they would not be called at this time.

The person who was still drowsy was now completely awake, and his heart was faintly uneasy, he carefully glanced at Shao Xuan and Ao and their faces, and wondered in his heart, what happened, why was even the Great Elder who had been nesting in the Yanhe Trading Area during this time also called?

After the leaders who remained in the headquarters arrived, they waited for the person sitting at the top to speak.

Ao looked at Shao Xuan and motioned for Shao Xuan to speak first.

Shao Xuan took a deep breath and glanced at the people in the room. As Shao Xuan's glance passed, it seemed that the tension and uneasiness in everyone's hearts became stronger.

"During the daytime today, Ao told me that something happened in the thousand-grain gold cultivated land, and someone had cut the ears of grain with a thousand grains of gold. Shao Xuan briefly mentioned the day's events to everyone first.

Sure enough, a thousand grains of gold were involved. Everyone also breathed fire in their eyes, and they must have thought the same as Ao in their hearts, thinking about beating the thief to death after catching him.

But with Shao Xuan's words, the people who were still breathing fire in their eyes just now were like a fire that had just been poured with a bucket of ice ballast. It's just poured out, and it's still shivering.

Anyone who followed there to find the fire crystal still remembers the situation at that time.

"How could it be that leader bat?!" Mai's clenched fist tightened and loosened, loosened and clenched again, anxious and contradictory.

"Isn't it one on the other side of the mountain forest?" Cheng Xiang, who was also the leader, couldn't understand it, and panicked for a while.

"Cheng Hemai, your hunting route should be able to see that mountain, have you found any anomalies over there?" asked Shao Xuan.

Back then, because of the Bat Mountain incident. The hunting team led by Cheng changed the course and bypassed the mountain occupied by bats, and he could only see the top of the mountain from a distance each time, but never came closer to it, and he didn't want to get into trouble. He also told his brothers who had returned from the other side of the sea about this, and warned them not to go near there.

"I haven't been there, I've looked over there from afar, and I haven't found anything unusual. Cheng scratched his beard. Irritability in the heart. If it were people from other tribes, he was not afraid at all. But the impression of that bat on him was really bad, and there are still large shadows in his heart, and he can't help but shiver when he thinks about it.

"I haven't been there either. Mai said.

Thinking of something, Mai suddenly added, "I don't know what's going on over there at Bat Mountain, but we're hunting over there. I found something different from previous years. ”

"Oh?" Shao Xuan sat up straight when he heard this, and asked Chaomai, "You can tell if there is anything abnormal, the mountain, the tree." The river water, the herd, and so on can be said. ”

"It's from the other side of the mountain, the mountain you know is said to have a king beast inhabited. Mai said.

"Where is the stone insect king worm?" Shao Xuan rarely goes to that side now, and most of them go to the green area with the advance team, so he really doesn't know what happened on the mountain that Mai said.

"That's it!" Mai paused, expressing his doubts, "you who have walked that route should know that when you cross that mountain, the marks left in the cave in the mountain will not be seen next time. ”

Shao Xuan nodded, of course he remembered, because under that mountain, there was really a stone insect king insect, not a legend, and it was precisely because of the stone insect king insect that the mountain would "move" because of the influence of the stone insect king insect, some of the marks left on the cave wall in the mountain, the next time I went, I couldn't see it, and even sometimes, a rope thrown there, the next time I went again, I found that the rope was gone.

The caves in the mountains there are like intestines that can be digested and absorbed, and all the still life that has been left there for a long time will be "absorbed" without leaving any traces. The closer you get to the ground, the more noticeable this phenomenon becomes, and the faster the traces on the tunnels disappear.

This is also why the people who take that route are all from generation to generation, walking with their own experience and memory, rather than simply marking them.

"I didn't pay attention to it at first, but when I walked a few times, I found a piece of straw rope that I had thrown there last time!" Mai regretted it now in retrospect, he didn't really pay much attention to it at the time, thinking that maybe the stone insect king beast was resting for a while, or it went for a walk elsewhere, and when it came back, maybe the mountain would return to its original state.

"Stone Worm King Worm ......" Shao Xuan wondered in his heart, "Could it be that something happened that even the Stone Worm King Worm was affected?"

"Mai, when did you start when you noticed that the cave over there no longer swallowed the markers like before?" asked Shao Xuan.

Wheat showed a look of remorse, "When I first found out, it was actually before last winter, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but at that time, there were many other threats in the cave, and there were many fierce beasts that we had never seen before, and when we walked from inside, we paid more attention to guarding against those fierce beasts." ”

In other words, the change in that mountain actually happened long before winter, or even earlier. Perhaps, it is because of the catastrophe of heaven and earth. Shao Xuan said, "But the leader bat has only recently come, and what can affect it should be the changes that have only happened recently." ”

There was a suppressed silence in the room.

I can't find a reason, and I have such a great threat in the tribe, haunting every night, and no one can rest assured. Now there is no fire in the tribe, and no one can know that a fierce beast of that level will quietly fly to the top of the mountain.

"What should I do?" Mai looked at Shao Xuan, and then swept over the other people's faces, but they didn't mean to make a sound, they didn't think of a suitable way.

"Let's go tomorrow and go to Bat Mountain to have a look, and by the way, go to the mountain where the Stone Worm King Beast used to be, and see if we can find the reason. Shao Xuan said.

"That's all there is to it. However, the tribe must also be guarded, don't tell anyone else about this matter, and wait until the reason is found, otherwise it will bring panic now, and it may also give outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of. Gui Yan said.

After discussing the personnel arrangement, everyone left, but tonight, no one could sleep.

The next day, after dawn, Shao Xuan asked Chirp to take him, Ao, and the other two leaders over, while Ta and Mai led people from the ground, and Caesar and Mai were with them.

Bat Mountain didn't live in bat before, but later, when the bats came out of the leader, they abandoned the previous low mountain with a sinkhole, took down the high mountain, and even expelled all the other fierce beasts in the mountain, and after that, the Yanjiao people called that mountain Bat Mountain.

Shao Xuan looked at the mountain towering into the clouds in the distance, compared to the other mountains around him, that mountain exuded a faint sense of gloom. Moreover, this feeling, the closer you get, the clearer it is felt.

Because the bats have occupied the mountain and driven out the beasts in the mountain, even if there are beasts that can stay, it is also used as a reserve ration for the bats, as long as they are not coarse beasts, they will not stay there, and they may be sucked by the bats at any time.

Because there are no other beasts on the mountain, and there are few small beasts, it is very quiet and lifeless compared to other mountains.

In broad daylight, I hardly saw any bats flying out.

Eerily quiet.

Shao Xuan did not go into the bat cave to look for it, but walked around.

"The bats are still there, they haven't left, the traces of activity are still fresh, and there are still bat droppings at the entrance of the cave. Shao Xuan said.

"So, it's just that the leader bat left?"

"Why is this so?" Ao didn't understand.

That leader bat actually threw down his little brothers and ran alone to the Yanjiao side to steal ears of grain every night?

Shao Xuan couldn't think of a reason.

"Let's go to the king stone insect again. Shao Xuan called over and left with the three of them, heading to the mountain they hadn't been to for a long time.

Back then, Shao Xuan was still there to carry out the remains of the ancestors, if it weren't for the ancestors' bone ornaments, those few remains would have been swallowed by that mountain long ago.

Coming to the entrance of the cave that he hadn't seen for a long time again, Shao Xuan looked at the handwriting at the entrance of the cave, saluted according to the previous customs, and then walked inside. (To be continued.) )

PS: There is only one shift tonight.
