Chapter 49 – Avalanche (1/2)

Translated by Sunyancai

There were three spare spearheads in his hide bag. In fact, there was a larger hide bag which contained more of these tools back in the cave. It was just, Shao Xuan didn’t have the time to grab that one when he was escaping.

Shao Xuan reached in his hide bag.

Every stone spearhead was crafted and polished by himself, and they felt quite familiar when he held them in his hand. It felt like he already would know its trajectory and effect before he throws it!

Old Ke had mentioned to Shao Xuan that each and every piece of stoneware had its own unique story, an excellent stoneware crafter could clearly sense that unique story, that is the power of its creator.

Back then, Shao Xuan did not understand what that felt like, however, now, he began to understand.

They were merely stone spearheads without their handles.

But it didn’t matter anymore, for he had a use for them anyway!!

When the Thorn Black Wind tried to pull out the sabre in its skull, Shao Xuan used the spearheads as darts and tossed two simultaneously towards one of the Thorn Black Wind’s eyes!

One spearhead deviated a little from its target, while the other one stabbed straight into its eye!

Roar!

An even louder and angrier scream echoed through the snowy region. The whole space was nearly torn apart by that sound.

Shao Xuan was thinking whether he should throw the last spearhead into its other eye, but at that very second he heard a loud cracking sound coming from above his head in the distance, as if something just broke.

Hearing that sound, Shao Xuan’s heart skipped a beat, and the following rumbling noises confirmed his guess.

Shao Xuan felt his mind nearly explode, and he had neither anymore time nor any energy to deal with the Thorn Black Wind.

“Follow me!”

Shao Xuan looked around the surroundings, and told Mao to run after him.

The place they were running towards was a little higher than where they were before, and while running there, they could clearly feel the increasing depth of the layer of snow and stronger winds blowing against their faces.

What the hell is happening?

Mao was curious, and quite a few times he wanted to ask directly. The Thorn Black Wind was quite some distance away from them, and judging by its voice, it must have been experiencing unbearable pain from a severe wound. However, apparently, Shao Xuan was eager to run away for his life.

With the rumbling noise getting louder and louder, the anxiety in Mao’s heart grew bigger and bigger.

Because of the earth-shattering roar of the Thorn Black Wind, which almost made Shao Xuan throw up some blood, somewhere on the top of the mountain, the snow layer got shattered as well. The cracking noise Shao Xuan heard was the sound of the snow and ice layer shattering. With the snow layer broken, large quantities of snow began to roll and slide down. It grew more and more heavy as it gathered more and more snow, and swept down the mountain like a flood.

The Thorn Black Wind seemed to have felt something as well, so it gave up on trying to pull out the blade in its head, and began to act anxiously. It sensed that some unknown danger was approaching quickly and the tremors had spread all over its body through the trembling ground. Even a domineering species like itself wanted to turn and run away immediately.

Regardless of the wounds he had on its head and eyes, it could still track the direction at which those two little buggers escaped to. Should it go down the mountain, or continue to chase after them?

Immediately, the Thorn Black Wind made a decision and it directly ran in Shao Xuan’s direction. Its intuition told it that those two little bastards might have a way of avoiding the danger. Besides, it went through a lot of trouble getting up here, and even got stabbed by that little bugger. It felt reluctant to give up now, for it still held the thoughts of biting them both to death.

Shao Xuan at that moment did not have the time nor the thought to pay attention to whether they were still being chased by that Thorn Black Wind. All he wanted to do was to hide behind that giant stone ahead, which was the only suitable shelter in the area.

Heavy and enormous snow bulks ran down the mountain with terrifying rumbling noises, which trembled the ground.
