Chapter 43 – High-level prey (2/2)

Mai moved his body to dodge the thick trunk thrown by that wild boar, and in a moment all the strength inside his body gathered together and reached the peak. Mai leaped and stepped on one broken handle which then pierced deeper inside the boar’s body, and slammed at the boar with his clenched fist as if hitting on it with a Warhammer, which spread out a fierce pressure!

The spot that got slammed, dented in immediately and its flesh nearby vibrated like ripples.

The wild boar sprang up with a loud and clear howl, as if it could tear up all the space. Its big snout blasted out a gust of hurricane-like wind, whirling around the surroundings, which caused all the branches to get blown off by force and fly away.

Naturally, Shao Xuan who was standing not afar experienced that strong howl.

It was so fu*king… smelly!

The four-fanged wild boar literally became anxious because of all the punches it bore. Its rigid big hoofs crashed the convex stones along its way, and destroyed almost all obstacles in front of it. It had the momentum to kill and sweep away anyone or anything, and it ran even faster than before.

“Do not let it get near the water!” Mai shouted.

It took him a lot of efforts to drive that big thing into that forest, so he couldn’t let it escape! Let alone that there were some dangerous creatures hidden by the pool that they would never want to mess around with. Luckily, those big ones usually do not come out during daylight.

Fifteen totemic warriors, among which five of them were mid-level warriors, oddly they did not manage to stop that four-fanged wild boar. Fortunately, Qiao and the others rushed to their assistance at the whistle, and joined the hunting circle.

Hammers, axes, and stone chains were all used in the hunting, while numerous spears were broken during the process. Finally, they stopped the four-fanged wild boar before it could escape the forest.

Shao Xuan’s racing heartbeat calmed down by the sound of that boar hitting the ground, and the tense nerves relaxed immediately. He ran towards Lang Ga after receiving a gesture of “safety” from him.

Shao Xuan emptied his container of that little boar’s blood, and refilled it with the blood from this four-fanged wild boar, which was much more nutritious. Lang Ga told Shao Xuan to drink one drop at a time, because newly-awakened warriors could not take more.

Since they had captured such a high quality prey, the hunting group stopped chasing other animals. After a simple treatment on the boar, people carried it to the cave in the mountain side.

It was nearly noon when they finally got back to the cave. To hunt and kill that giant wild boar, everyone was feeling a little exhausted. They became very tired when they relaxed after the high intensity of using their body strength in such a short time.

“Luckily, we prevented him from running to the pool, or it would cause so much trouble if the Thorn Black Wind was bothered.” Lang Ga still had a lingering fear, when recalling the circumstances they met last time.

The others shared his feeling and all of them felt lucky to have stopped that four-fanged wild boar in time.

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!”
