Chapter 106 – It turned out to be an option! (1/2)
Translated by Sunyancai
The whistle went afar in the snow and wind.
At Shao Xuan’s whistle, many people looked curious and confused, for they had no idea why Shao Xuan was doing that. However, some other kids seemed to have thought of something, and they looked up in the sky with stunned faces.
“Ah!”
The twins shouted excitedly, for they had already guessed Shao Xuan’s way of solving this problem. They stared at the sky, and even the falling snow did not stop them from keeping their eyes wide open, for they were afraid of missing any details.
“What the hell is going on?” Meng asked the other kids behind him.
“That eagle……”
Meng looked up in the sky, along the same direction that his companions were pointing at.
A little black dot appeared in the sky, and soon, the small dot became bigger and bigger. Even the big flying flakes could not hide its body as it was flew closer.
“It’s Chacha! Chacha!” The twins were so excited that they wanted to jump up high. They knew Shao Xuan well, so they were familiar with Chacha.
However, the others had different opinions.
For many people in the tribe, Chacha was in the same position as Caesar. They were only surviving in the tribe because the Shaman allowed them to be kept within the tribe. Many would even think that animals like Caesar and Chacha had already lost their qualification of being a prey, because they didn’t have the ferocious nature like the animals in the wild anymore. People did not see them as ferocious beasts any more. Even without the Shaman’s blessing, they would not try to hunt Caesar and Chacha down, for that was no challenge.
Like most of the totem warriors, they felt that hunting meant the pursuit of extreme strength. Hunting down more ferocious beasts always brought more excitement and meaning. An animal that had lost its ferocious nature was useless for them.
Normally, they would often see that eagle flying around in the sky. However, never had they thought about what this eagle would do eventually.
They were not stupid, but the traditional thoughts and views had already trapped them in the ancient philosophy for centuries. Of course they would not think about other uses of animals, including the twins.
Chacha hovered above in the sky, but without flying down to land.
Shao Xuan made a gesture with his hand, and people saw that eagle in the sky flying towards Shao Xuan.
“From that far away…the bird could literally see Shao Xuan waving his hand?!” Someone whispered in the crowd.
“My dad once said that eagles could see a rabbit from afar…” Said another kid.
“That’s so cool!!”
“So it can also see the dangers and risks from afar? If so, my dad wouldn’t have to risk his life in the hunting missions anymore.” Someone said in a low voice.
Yes…If it could see the dangers afar and alert people in advance… Perhaps some unnecessary risks could be avoided when people were in the wild, hunting.
Everyone was thinking like that.
However, they still did not think that a beast could do such a thing. Animals were animals. They could not talk like people do, and even a eagle was merely a bird that could fly.
Whoosh!
A black shadow swept over in a flash, and even the snowflakes around them were pushed away.
People looked over to its direction.
Flapping his wings, Chacha landed on Shao Xuan’s arm steadily.
There were many people around, but Chacha was not timid at all. His eagle eyes looked around the crowd, and then he began to peck on his feathers, as if there was nobody around.
Shao Xuan lowered his arm so that the twins could have a good talk with Chacha.
“Chacha, please help me put this on the top branch! That tree, yes. There are branches on its top. Any branch could do the trick…” Yang and Guang took out their stone name plates and talked to Chacha.
The stone plates were not big, only half the size of a kid’s palm, and there was a little hole pierced on top of the stone plate, so that a leather rope could go through the hole. Most of the kids in the upper half of the mountain had similar stone plates. Some were prepared before they were even born, and some were prepared after their birth. Many people wouldn’t even be using this kind of stone plates, they would make one for their kids, seeing that other kids had them.
The stone plates were all made from fine or excellent stone cores, and the leather rope was made from the skin of ferocious beasts, so it won’t break easily.
As Yang and Guang were talking to Chacha, the others kept staring at them. Most people did not believe that an animal could understand human words. Seeing that the twins were talking to Chacha like that, they looked astonished.
“Can it understand them?”
