Chapter 19 The Mist(1/2)

After walking out of the holes everywhere, five hunting teams gathered together.∈♀

In front of them, there was a very wide hole, and I couldn't see where the top was above, and the front was like fog.

I thought some bats would be forced to hide from here by smoke, but I didn't expect that when I arrived in this wider area, there was no bat.

Maybe I ran to other holes, but there wasn't a single one here. Why, what's so strange about it? Everyone couldn't know it.

"How are you there?" Mai asked several other small leaders.

"Fortunately, not many people stay in the hole and it's not difficult to deal with."

"The same goes for us."

"It seems that most of them are out."

This is a good phenomenon.

"Something is coming!" said Ba 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 put out the torch?"

"No, it's useless to put out the fire. Wait first, only two of them come."

Cheng made a gesture to the others.

The slight sound of flapping the wings was very clear in the quiet hole.

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

Whoosh swish swish swish!

Although everyone may not be able to see the two bats clearly, they can judge their specific locations based on their hearing.

The spear in the hands of Mai and his men threw it over as soon as the two bats came out.

With a few puffs, the two bats only emitted short syllables and fell to the ground.

He asked a few people to throw smoked 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 were already tied into hedgehogs, and the cow caught was also affected. They were hit by a few spears, but the cow was still alive and was just in a coma. Like other preys, the bats just made the prey coma, but did not kill them directly.

"Look at the direction they fly, they are heading there."

Everyone looked in the direction Cheng pointed, and even with the fire, they couldn't see clearly ahead. It was like fog.

"Acheng, will they..." Ba said, looking at the foggy place in front of him.

The prey caught by the bats was sent there. Are the three people who disappeared from the hunting team also sent in that direction? Also, they came here this time to find the reasons for the abnormal behavior of the bats. If they could figure it out, they could fundamentally solve the problem. Otherwise, every time they wanted to dig fire crystals, they would have to risk being chased by the bat group.

The reason for the bat abnormality is probably there.

The five small leaders once analyzed that they felt that the bats were probably preparing food for a leader, and this phenomenon is present in many animals. This possibility is extremely high. If this is true, they will do their best to kill the leader.

That leader is inside?

If you kill the leader, will the bats disperse?

"Come and take a look. Be careful!" Cheng said to everyone.

As soon as I walked into the foggy place, the torches in everyone's hands became much smaller.

The visibility is very low, and there is an extremely unpleasant smell around it, like heavy fog.

Miasma? Shao Xuan was confused.

The smell that hits the nose makes them feel dizzy, not the smell in the bat cave, but a dizzy smell. Fortunately, the smell of vine grass relieves this feeling.

Put a piece of herb in your mouth, and the herbs are filled with a bitter and refreshing coolness. Everyone is slightly excited.

The sound of flapping its wings sounded again, this time more, the effect of smoked grass was limited after all. There were more than a dozen bats flying from other caves, all catching prey. Mai and his men planned to throw spears to kill them, but they didn't expect that. They did not attack the hunting team, and did not even look at everyone, but grabbed the prey and flew into a place covered with mist.

A loud bang came from somewhere in the fog. After a while, the bats flew out of the fog and flew back into the cave.

"Their leader must be there." Cheng whispered.

The more you walked in, the flames of the torch became smaller and smaller, as if it was about to burn. Due to the influence of the "thick fog", even if it was a wheat, you could only see within ten meters of the situation with the torch, let alone other people.

“This place…”

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

The nerves suddenly tensed up and entered a state of preparation. But soon, he discovered that the objects under his feet did not have any breath of life.

"Die?" The shred kicked the object under the kick.

The batter kicked the body of a dead bat, and the bat had been dead for a long time.

Not only the foot of the shredded feet, but around the area covered with fog, there are bat skeletons everywhere on the ground. In other words, there are dead bodies of bats everywhere, and there are several layers of piled up in some places, which is a bit scary.

Walking further, the bat corpses piled up thicker and thicker, like hills.

Dead bat.

All are dead bats.

Moreover, many of them were tragic and miserable, and were cruelly bitten off before their death.

No wonder the bats in the cave can’t come. This is simply a bat cemetery!

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

"Looking at the traces left on them, it seems like they are killing each other."

"Why do they kill each other?"

"I remember that if a leader is selected from some beast groups, it must go through a fight," Mai said.

"you mean……"

"There are indeed their leaders here?!"

Everyone suddenly became nervous. If these bats were alive, with such a huge number and size, no five small leaders would dare to bring people directly. And what kind of ferocious beast would such a large number of bats come out in the final victory?

Even so, everyone did not feel like retreating.

In fact, when discussing with Mai and the others, Shao Xuan proposed to go back to the tribe to find reinforcements. After all, hunting has just begun, and they are only at the first stronghold. Going back to the tribe to find people is faster than those who are looking for advance teams. Moreover, when returning to the tribe, you can find many people to help, which is safer.

However, Shao Xuan's proposal was rejected by everyone. One was a competitive relationship between two hunting teams. The five small leaders did not want the other team to participate, and they didn't even want the news to be known. Second, the more people participated, the fewer each person would get, and everyone would not want to.

Shao Xuan’s idea was to keep the green mountains there. He was not afraid of no firewood, but the other people’s idea was to die for the sake of fire crystal.

This is what the tribe people think. Mai scolded Shao Xuan for "What can be more important than life" before, and everyone became extremely crazy afterwards.

Shao Xuan underestimated this kind of madness, so when the five small leaders discussed the action, he realized that these people were really planning to fight for their own lives.

As they continued to move forward, they could still hear bats in the air constantly transporting their prey. No bat cared about the people in the fog and was doing their own things on their own.

Bang!

Another sound of prey falling to the ground.

The prey fell to the ground, which was very close to the hunting team.

"Wait!!" Cheng whispered.

"Breathing sound." Mai and his men also noticed it.

There are a lot of breathing sounds around here.

The breathing of living creatures except hunting team warriors and bats in the air was very, very much. However, every breath was weak.

Like climbing a mountain, I stepped on the thick bat corpse and continued to move forward.

The torch's fire was already very weak. It shrank so much that it was only one-fifth of its original state, and its vision was severely limited. Now people rely more on their hearing to understand what is happening around them.

Some primary totem warriors could no longer withstand it. They were almost at their limit and they almost forced themselves to faint. The effects of vine grass and herbs were almost insignificant, and they could not resist the poisonous miasma in this fog.

"People who can't hold on to it will stop first. If they can hold on, continue." Mai said.

The same goes for the other four squads.

Shao Xuan held the small fire crystal in his hand. The energy from the fire crystal kept him clear and bright, and he could withstand it longer than other primary totem warriors.

"It's the big horned deer!" Someone found a living creature on the ground.

"And the mountain antels!"

“There are also wild boars!”

Living animals began to appear around them one after another, but these animals were in a deep coma. In this misty place, they could not wake up. Even if they woke up and took a breath, they would faint again.

The people who became the hunting team were delighted that the three missing people should be here and should be alive.

There are all kinds of animals thrown on the corpses of bats like hills. It is very difficult to find people in such a large area.

"A Xuan, can you see it?" Mai asked. I remember that Shao Xuan's eyesight at night was better than that of ordinary people.

"I can't see far. I'll try as much as possible." Shao Xuan said.

Shao Xuan used his special ability to see the objects around him, but he also felt that there was a layer of mist blocking him, so he could not see things within fifty meters. Even so, Shao Xuan was much better than others.

Because all you see are skeletons, you can only tell which animals these are from the skeletons.
To be continued...
