Chapter 49
Chapter 49 – Avalanche
Translated by Sunyancai
There were three spare spearheads in his hide bag. In fact, there was a larger hide bag which contained more of these tools back in the cave. It was just, Shao Xuan didn’t have the time to grab that one when he was escaping.
Shao Xuan reached in his hide bag.
Every stone spearhead was crafted and polished by himself, and they felt quite familiar when he held them in his hand. It felt like he already would know its trajectory and effect before he throws it!
Old Ke had mentioned to Shao Xuan that each and every piece of stoneware had its own unique story, an excellent stoneware crafter could clearly sense that unique story, that is the power of its creator.
Back then, Shao Xuan did not understand what that felt like, however, now, he began to understand.
They were merely stone spearheads without their handles.
“What…what was that…earlier?” After a moment of rest, Mao asked, with some uneased fright in his voice.
“Avalanche.”
“Avalanche?” Mao searched his memory and he was sure he had not heard that term before. However, he remembered a similar story which his grandpa, the Chief, told him a long time ago. It was just that it did not excite him, and he preferred stories with ferocious beasts involved. Now with his own firsthand experience, he knew that when in times like this, nature’s power was far more terrifying than any ferocious beast. For some time, he even felt like the whole mountain was about to fall down on his head.
They had survived, for the second time. However, Shao Xuan and Mao dared not run around, for no one knew whether there would be a second avalanche. If there was another one, they might not find a shelter as suitable as this one.
Out of fear for having other accidents, they dared not fall asleep as well. Perhaps they would never wake up again if they fell asleep.
After resting for a while, Shao Xuan asked Mao about the Thorn Black Wind. Mao had not seen the Thorn Black Wind in person before, but he briefly explained the story that had happened during last hunting mission, which he heard from his father. Now, the trouble started by Ah-Fei had befallen them.
“Fuck!” Shao Xuan cursed in a low voice, “I’m going to beat him up hard when we get back!”
