Chapter 124
Chapter 124 – The Cubs in the Tribe
Translated by Sunyancai
During the hunting time, Mao saw those creatures with four fangs, and considered them as animals similar to wild boars and ferocious beasts.
Having seen several wild boars with four fangs, he finally caught a cub and brought it back to the tribe, only to be told that it was not a wild boar but a regular animal. With four fangs, this kind of beast looked like a wild boar, but didn’t have the thick fur or looked aggressive.
Mao originally thought it was a cub of the ferocious beast but it turned out to be just a regular beast.
Though Mao was disappointed after knowing this, he did not kill the cub and eat it, but kept it. He even deliberately went down from the mountain to ask Shao Xuan for advice on how to raise it.
Many people secretly laughed at Mao, because as the grandson of the chief, and the son of a team leader, he raised such a creature, while the other people raised wolves or leopards.
Mao named it “Si Ya” (literally four fangs), which looked like a babirusa. That was probably because he failed to find a ferocious beast with four fangs. Fortunately, the cub was a male which would have four fangs after growing up, so he temporarily kept it.
“Tie it well! Use a thicker rope, and don’t let it go, or I’ll kill you!” Shouted Ta at the back of Mao.
Holding Si Ya in his arms, Mao ran away quickly, questioning in his mind why he was blamed for the boar’s mistake.
Somewhere on the hillside.
With a cold face, Mo Er looked at the ragged beast skin on the bed, and inclined his head to look at the place under the table against the wall.
“Come out!”
Hiding under the table, the cub shrank inside.
Holding the knife handle, Mo Er was thinking over whether to directly slaughter it.
In the tribe, raising cubs had brought trouble to many people, but Shao Xuan was now too busy to pay any attention to it.
In his study of old volumes engraved with secret crafts, Shao Xuan found that his promotion was mainly influenced by not the totem, but some other power inside him.
What on earth was the egg-shaped thing which covered the totem inside, or the strange stone which originally brought him to this world?
Warriors said it was the totem that influenced the power in everyone’s body, but Shao Xuan had a faint idea that the totem in his mind could not cross over the circle of the “egg” no matter how active it was. Even when the two horn flame was at its fiercest, it still failed to exceed the circle.
It was more likely that the energy absorbed by the fire crystal played a supporting role, which could speed up the recovery, instead of enhancing, because the totem could not play a dominating role.
Putting down the animal skin volume and rubbing his eyebrows, Shao Xuan was thinking about what on earth the stone was made of?
At this time, Caesar came to him with a wooden box in his mouth. The wooden box was tied with straw, so Caesar directly bit the rope to hold it.
Inside the wooden box were stone weapons polished by Old Ke recently. Shao Xuan spent much time studying the old volumes. When Old Ke finished polishing some, he let Caesar send them to him.
Taking the wooden box, Shao Xuan patted Caesar’s head, and asked, “I am going to set out again, would you like to follow me?”
Caesar immediately took a step forward, as if saying “Yes”.
Shao Xuan rolled up and put away the animal skin on which he had intended to write something.
If not a accompanying hound as described in the old volume, then we will just use a wolf.
