Chapter 43
Chapter 43 – High-level prey
Translated by Sunyancai
Lang Ga and the others soon gathered around the wild boar. In fact, they were behind them and were watching all along. Originally, they assumed that it would take them some time to take down that wild boar, however, unexpectedly, these two kids killed that beast quite fast.
“Not bad.” Lang Ga said as he looked at the not yet dead wild boar.
When using a stone spear, one had to be really quick and accurate. Also, the strength must be sufficient, or else it would hardly be effective, not to mention piercing through the thick skin of the wild boar. Even the best stone tool needed to be used properly to work. However, Lang Ga felt that these two kids had already mastered the skills of using spears, judging from the earlier circumstances. Lang Ga and the others secretly nodded in their mind.
While Mao stood there, mind blank. He did not expect that Shao Xuan could act so fast, given that he had not joined a single hunting mission before! Actually, it was just a moment between him tripping the wild boar and sticking that long spear into its neck.
Was that really his first time hunting?
Not only Mao, Lang Ga and the others were sighing at heart. No wonder Mai allowed Shao Xuan to tag along this time. Indeed, that boy had the talent in him.
After having the roasted meat of that four-fanged wild boar for lunch, warriors in the hunting group decided to take a rest.
Shao Xuan felt that there was a warm surge running through his body after he ate, which was quite comfortable and cozy. That was the advantage for having high-level prey. All the consumed strength was gradually recovering, and at the same time, he felt sleepier than ever.
“Now go to sleep and have a rest. Newly-awakened warriors like yourself need more time to digest the meat with high energy content.” Said Mai.
Qiao said that she had traced down the whereabouts of a giant-antler deer herd, and they planned to hunt them down in the afternoon. Since it was a large herd, Mai would take people to help, and he decided to leave Lang Ga and four other people to stay back in the cave. At the same time, they guarded the place, they could take care of the two sleeping kids, who were digesting the boar.
When he woke up, Shao Xuan found that there were only five warriors, including Lang Ga, left in the cave. After sipping some water, Shao Xuan felt he was still sleepy. Since he checked and confirmed about Mai and the other’s schedule, he planned to go back to his nap.
At that time, Ang rushed in from outside, with a pretty serious face.
“Just now I heard the howling of a Thorn Black Wind! It seems that Mai and the others got in trouble on their way back to the cave!”
“How would a Thorn Black Wind come out during daylight? Now the sun is still in the sky!” Lang Ga and the others almost jumped up at the news.
Even though now the sun was not up in the south, it was not even dusk, while normally Thorn Black Winds only woke up at night, but also very late at night!
“Do you think it is the one from last time and it came for revenge? Perhaps it came out of the water in advance, just to get back at Mai and the others?” Ang sounded quite worried.
“Shall we go and help?” someone proposed.
Lang Ga opened his mouth, but said nothing as he glimpsed at Shao Xuan and Mao lying beside him.
“It’s okay. You should go, we are pretty safe in the cave.” Said Shao Xuan. His condition did not allow him to tag along, and he knew he would be a burden if he insisted to go with them.
“Yes, you should go.” Mao woke up, too, “A Thorn Black Wind is never easy to be dealt with.”
Even though Mao did not join Mai’s hunting group last time, he had heard from others that last time it took the joint effort of Mai’s group to get rid of that stubborn big one. It was not easy.
“Okay, then. Shao Xuan and Mao, you two stay in the cave!”
Lang Ga and the other four warriors went out of the cave and used a giant stone to block its entrance. Since there were other vents inside, the two kids wouldn’t suffocate. As long as Shao Xuan and Mao remained inside the cave, it was indeed pretty safe.
