Chapter 52 – All three (1/2)

Translated by Sunyancai

“What…what’s that?” Lang Ga grabbed the long spear in his hands tightly and asked in a shaky voice, as he pointed at it with a shaky finger.

Ang and the others also swallowed down their saliva, waiting for Shao Xuan’s answer. Although they could guess what it was, the guess appeared to be too unbelievable to be true. They could not believe in their guess, and some of them even wondered if it was just a dream.

Yesterday, when they saw the chaos in that cave, many of them had prepared to face the fact that they might never see those two kids again. It was a sleepless night as they had been searching all night. At first they could see some traces of them, for example the items that they lost along the way. However, after they had entered the snowy region, it became nearly impossible for them to find any more footprints so all of the rest relied on luck.

While searching, they had long gone beyond their hunting area. They had met with another hunting group, and the other hunting group joined the search. But the longer it took, the heavier their heart grew. In this forest, it was difficult for cubs to stay alive. Humans and animals were the same at that point.

Now, seeing that Mao and Shao Xuan were both okay, Lang Ga and the others were of course happy, for that was already far better than their expectation. Only few people could escape from a Thorn Black Wind. However, with the big guy lying there, facing the ground, it was like their wildest dream!

“Is it really dead?”

“With the big hole in its head, and so much blood coming out of there, it should be dead, right?”

After poking it for a few times with the long spear, Lang Ga and the others became bolder. Like Mao’s previous behavior, they now paid no more attention to Shao Xuan and Mao, while all of them circled around the Thorn Black Wind’s dead body, poking at it as a sign to show their amazement.

“It’s the one from last time! Look at its tail, there’s still a wound.”

“Hey, look at the thick skin and the thorns…Oh, it can’t be broken off! Here, Ah-Xuan, hold my stone spear… I don’t believe I can’t break it…”

“The thorns are so hard…If Mai had chopped at the layer of thorns, perhaps its tail wouldn’t have been injured so badly…”

“Hey look at its claw! So sharp…Wow…”

“…”

Standing on the side, Shao Xuan got a headache watching these people’s behavior…

A minute ago people were shedding tears on that warm reunion, and one minute later, he and Mao were ignored.

The competition between the two hunting teams was quite intense, so every time when they returned, they would brag about their prey. It would be so cool if they could bring back this big ferocious beast.

When Mai and the others arrived, Lang Ga was holding one of the Thorn Black Wind’s big claws in his arms, touching it constantly.

Similar to the others who met the Thorn Black Wind earlier, these people also had their eyes wide open, and were dumbstruck. Later, just as Shao Xuan’s predicted, they too circled around the body immediately.

“Are you hurt?” Mai came to Shao Xuan and Mao, quite relieved.

“I’m fine.” Shao Xuan moved his arms and legs, and jumped for a few times. In fact, he had broken a few ribs and an arm last night, but fortunately it was not severe and now he had recovered mostly already. Probably it was because of the totemic power.

After confirming that Shao Xuan and Mao were really fine, Mai finally relieved himself from the stress and pressure.

Since everyone was asking about their encounter, Shao Xuan briefly explained what had happened last night.
