Chapter 48 – Either you die, or I die (2/2)

There was no time for Shao Xuan to examine his wounded arm. With exploding strength from his calf muscles, he left his spot to avoid close range combat with the Thorn Black Wind. But the Thorn Black Wind was not called the killer of the forest for nothing. It swung its tail towards Shao Xuan at the same time he wanted to dodge, as if it already anticipated Shao Xuan’s reaction.

Having just landed, Shao Xuan was not able to evade in time, and all he could do was grasp his tooth sabre and put it in front of his chest, to avoid being stabbed by the thorns on the Thorn Black Wind’s tail.

Bang!

Shao Xuan was blown away by that violent strength, and he couldn’t help but step back some distance after he landed. The blood in his chest churned because of that strike. If the Thorn Black Wind wasn’t weakened by the environment, and if it didn’t suffer from being severely limited in his movement, Shao Xuan would have been smashed into oblivion already.

Since he came into this world, it was Shao Xuan’s first time being in such a dangerous situation.

He was already mentally prepared for hunting being dangerous, however, he did not expect to meet such a persistent and ferocious beast in his first hunting mission.

Whether in physical strength or speed, Shao Xuan and Mao together could not overpower the weakened Thorn Black Wind.

It was a matter of survival, either you die or I die.

The only short spear he still had, had been tossed. Originally, Shao Xuan brought three short spears with him, but two of them were used during their escape. Now, Shao Xuan had only the tooth sabre that old Ke gave him, and three spearheads he had in his animal skin bag.

Mao never stopped creating trouble for the Thorn Black Wind, but with his limited power, he was not taken seriously by that Thorn Black Wind. When he left the cave together with Shao Xuan, he brought seven short spears, among which five of them had been already tossed, and the sixth almost hit the Thorn Black Wind’s eye!

At that time, finally, the Thorn Black Wind looked at Mao’s direction.

Now!

This might be the only chance they get!

At that time, Shao Xuan poured out ferocious killing intent from his eyes. Forcing out all his totemic power, raising his power to the peak, Shao Xuan pushed off with his feet explosively.

However, he did not rush out in a straight path, instead, he used the spear that was stuck on the ground to alter his path.

When The Thorn Black Wind heard the sound and turned its head at Shao Xuan’s direction, it slashed out its claw towards him. However, it did not expect Shao Xuan to the change directions of his attack in the middle. Before it could come back to its senses, Shao Xuan had already evaded its sharp claw.

Perhaps Shao Xuan wasn’t a strong as the mid-level totemic warrior Mai, but with the help of that tooth sabre, and using all his strength, he managed to pierce through the most vulnerable spot on the Thorn Black Wind’s head!

The tooth sabre pierced through its head and went straight into its skull.

Even though he chose the most vulnerable spot, even though Shao Xuan used all his strength, that tooth sabre did not completely pierce into its skull, and two thirds of the sabre could still be seen. If it was Mai who stabbed, of course the sabre would be fully buried inside, and perhaps that Thorn Black Wind would’ve died in the blink of an eye. However, it was Shao Xuan, who had only been awakened for about a month’s time.

Even so, that strike managed to give the Thorn Black Wind an injury it couldn’t ignore.

Shao Xuan wanted to push it in further, and and give it more damage, but the Thorn Black Wind was already swiping its claw. Shao Xuan could not even pull out the sabre, for the sabre was tightly embedded in its skull. There was no time for another move, but he had to dodge as soon as possible.

And even though Shao Xuan got scratched on his back, luckily he got away in time, and the wound was not deep nor lethal. If he had hesitated for even a moment, he would’ve been doomed.

A loud roar pierced the region, and all the snowflakes around trembled because of that roar.
