Chapter 42
Chapter 42 – Wild boar
Translated by Sunyancai
At dawn, all the warriors in the cave recovered their energy after a night’s rest, and were taking inventory of the equipment they planned to take for hunting later.
They all brought a lot of stone tools from the tribe, and there were some spare stone tools stored in the cave. However, they could never take all the things when hunting, so they needed to select only a part of them.
Aside from old Ke’s sabre, Shao Xuan brought a long spear, and carried three short spears on his back. Compared with the others, Shao Xuan did not bring much equipment. After all, it was only his first hunting mission, and the first thing he should do was to adjust and observe.
After they ate something for breakfast, Mai pushed away the giant stone that blocked the entrance of the cave.
The sun had not risen completely, and moist wind mixed with the fresh cool air from outside blew into the cave, which felt brisk and invigorating.
The location of the cave was relatively remote. Not far ahead there was a steep slope, where one could probably reach the mountain foot directly if he rolled down from there. There were not many trees around, nor were there any animals.
Puff!
The spearhead nearly pierced through the wild boar’s neck, while its roar suddenly stopped. Only its four limbs struggled, but it was doomed already, and the strength of its struggle was fading.
