Chapter 36
Chapter 36 – Come and punch me
Translated by Sunyancai
Being a mid-level totemic warrior, Mai occupied an important position in the hunting team, so he had a lot to deal with when he came back to the tribe. Of course, he would not be as idle as Lang Ga. When Shao Xuan arrived, he was just assigning patrol missions to some warriors.
Shao Xuan waited and he came inside only after the other two warriors had left.
Inside the room, Mai was cutting the meat. During the hunting mission, warriors would just pretreat the meat, so after they came back, they needed to cut the meat into smaller pieces, and preserve some of them. Also, they had to sort out different kinds of meat for later use.
“Hello there.” Mai waved his hand seeing Shao Xuan entering the room, as he tossed a piece of meat covered in blood, the size of a watermelon, to Shao Xuan, “Here you go. Take it back with you later, for you get hungry easily after you become a totemic warrior. Training is exhausting.”
Many people would deduct their training time when there was a lack of food. After all, totemic warriors would consume a lot of energy when they trained themselves. Naturally they would eat more. Especially for those newly-awakened warriors like Shao Xuan, they were in the process of building up their bodies, so food became even more of an essential object.
“Thank you, uncle Mai.” Shao Xuan took the meat and handed over the mesh bag to him, “This is for you.”
However, Mai’s face froze for some time, but soon he recovered from his astonishment. Inside his heart he was still shocked, as he stared at Shao Xuan, while he forgot to take back his palm from the air.
The rebound made Shao Xuan step back a few steps and he had to shake his arm, as he created hissing sound out of subconscious. He did not expect it to hurt so much, and it felt totally different from the last punch.
“Ah-Xuan.” Mai said. His voice sounded somehow difficult and bitter.
“Yes?” Shao Xuan looked at Mai as he continued to shake his arm. He did not worry about breaking his bones, for even if that did happen, he would be fully recovered after a few days’ rest. That was the advantage of the physique of the tribe’s people.
“When you go back… you should prepare…”
At Mai’s words, Shao Xuan wondered if Mai would say the same thing that Lang Ga told him, such as to not show his face for three days or something like that. He stared at Mai for him to finish his sentence.
“Prepare… to join the hunting mission next time.”
