Chapter 125
Chapter 125 – The New Wolf Pack
Translated by Sunyancai
Ta’s hunting team was about to set out again. People in the tribe had been used to the presence of the unusual animal, which had been so far the only one that accompanied them on the Path of Glory.
In the beginning, it was beyond expectation that Caesar could succeed in joining the group to hunt for even several times in a row.
Caesar now had two scars. Although his wounds healed, the fur there hadn’t grown back yet so scars were very noticeable. They were caused by an adult giant-claw beast in a hunting mission.
Shao Xuan was terribly scared at that time, because if Caesar had reacted even a little slowly, he would have been cut in half by the beast’s gaint claw. After that they returned to the tribe, Shao Xuan intended to stop him joining the next hunt to rest. However, it turned out that he followed the group so actively that Shao Xuan had no choice but to let him join.
Fond of running in the woods, he enjoyed confronting a prey which was much bigger than him. When the hunting time approached, Caesar was especially excited. While resting to let the wounds heal, he was listless.
Now, the wounds had healed up, but the fur there did not grow back. Mai said that the fur around the two scars might be difficult to grow back.
“Not the old wolf pack.” Mai looked slightly grave.
Each hunting group knew something about the preys and predators in their respective hunting areas, especially the wolf packs. It was natural that they were clear about what kinds of wolves were active there.
In spite of standing afar and seeing vaguely, they could judge from the hunting style that this pack was crueler than the old one. Instead of biting it to death directly, they gnawed it.
Caesar stared at the wolves in the distance, puckered his wrinkles on the nose, exposed his fangs, and growled.
“Caesar, come back!” Shao Xuan shouted.
This pack of wolves was dangerous to Caesar, similar to the previous wolves, Shao Xuan could not let Caesar confront them. On one hand, he was outnumbered. On the other hand, even if he fought against one of them, he might not win, because the wolves were generally larger and vicious. If he confronted them, it was more likely that he would be the loser.
When going there for hunting, warriors in the hunting group avoided provoking the wolves, for they were very vengeful. Once provoked, unless they were all slaughtered, they took revenge.
Since the new wolf pack emerged, the hunting group hurried to leave with the prey to return to the cave before it was too late.
“Caesar, stop looking, go!” Shao Xuan cried, having found Caesar was looking back.
Glancing at the wolf pack from a long distance, in the end, Caesar followed Shao Xuan and ran back to the first holdout.
At night, all the group members were having a barbecue while chatting in the cave. The entrance of the cave was blocked by a large stone, and wind blew in only through some gaps and vents. After the Thorn Black Wind accident, Mai took this cave as the new holdout.
Mai stopped talking, so did the others. All were listening carefully.
There were some wolves howling.
The howling didn’t come from afar. Those with poor hearing might not notice that but those present had much stronger sense of hearing than ordinary people.
“They are those we saw today, right?” Tu said in low voice.
This was Tu and Jie Ba third hunting mission with Mai’s hunting group now. Their appearance didn’t change, but their temperament was totally different. They were no longer the two warriors who lived in the cave and fixed their mind on food!
“Be more careful about the new wolf pack tomorrow. The wolves that were here before may have been defeated…” Said Mai.
There was an area shared by two packs of wolves, in which wolves from different groups might be seen. However, this area wasn’t where they got together.
And now, a pack of wolves showed up at the foot of the mountain, it was obviously that the previous wolves were either defeated or dead.
When everyone was talking about the new wolf pack, Caesar kept an eye on what happened outside the cave.
Aware of Caesar’s intention, Shao Xuan thought he had to pay more attention to him in the following days.
