It suddenly quieted down, one could easily hear the sound of the wind blowing through the grass.

They didn’t kill the rat yet, since it was better to keep the grass rat alive when cutting down the rat wood. The grass rat struggled whilst caught in a warrior’s hand. The seedling of rat wood was cut off, which left a brown bald spot on its skin. After about six months, the bald spot would again be covered with fuzzy green hair.

Mai gave the warrior who held the grass rat a meaningful look. The warrior bent over, placed the grass rat on the ground, and released it.

Like an arrow being released from the string, the grass rat quickly rushed into the high piles of grass once it regained its freedom.

After a few rustling sounds, the area became quiet again, but the atmosphere was still quite stifling.

People didn’t sense any signs of ferocious beast in the surroundings, but they all had felt something dangerous lurking in the dark without being spotted by anyone.

The other party must be very good at hiding, or Mai would have sensed its presence sooner.

That grass rat rushed to the pile of grass without hesitation, which meant that the pile of grass over there was relatively safer.

Half of the people in the hunting team focused their attention in the opposite direction of the grass piles, whilst the others guarded the surroundings.

Huu~~

It was like a gust of wind.

However, there was only a slight breeze, and no such sound could be created naturally.

Meanwhile, Caesar let out a growl, his growl made people’s nerves more tense.

Huu~~

There was another prompt but low noise, as if something was flying fast.

It was close!

The trees in the surroundings were not dense, and the sunshine had already lit up the entire forest.

Black shadows flashed by under the sun.

“Over there!”

Mai rushed over there, and in the meantime, another black shadow flew past.

Normally, the animals, especially ferocious beasts, would always pick the weakest in a group to challenge, and Shao Xuan would be the first that suffered. Last year, he had been experiencing that for a whole year, and the other warriors’ first instinct was to protect Shao Xuan well. However, this time, the thing rushed towards Caesar without hesitation.

Shao Xuan was about to run forward with his stone knife to block the strike, but to his surprise, Caesar actively aimed at it.

In a short distance, Caesar rapidly sped up, and he almost reached his limit. Like a long bow that was tightened up and then released, he ejected himself to throw his body on that coming creature.

Bang!

Puff!

The sound of a collision and flesh being pierced resounded.

The thing that rushed over here was some winged creature that looked like a bat. Its wingspan was around two meters. Perhaps it was bitten by Caesar, for after it landed, it did not manage to fly up again.

However, such a creature should only be active during night. Why would they come out in the daylight?

When these two were fighting against each other, Shao Xuan threw out several spearheads at that bat-like creature. It was Caesar’s first time encountering such an opponent in the wild, so highly likely, it would be difficult for him to handle the situation alone. There were already some bloodstains on his body.

The attack of the spearheads distracted the bat.

Puchi.

There was the sound of flesh being torn apart.

Blood spread out.

Caesar literally tore off one of that thing’s wings.

A sharp cry almost pierced through the people’s eardrums, and the sonic wave dizzied people. But soon, the sound stopped abruptly, because Caesar snapped off the bat’s head.

Together with Caesar’s growl, there were a few more sounds of flesh being torn. Caesar only stopped after he had torn the remaining flesh into small pieces.

“Come over here, Caesar!”

Shao Xuan stepped forward quickly to check on Caesar’s wounds. But before he could approach him, Caesar suddenly looked up at Shao Xuan’s direction, although moments ago, he was staring at the dead bat’s remains.

His approach stopped at the very moment, for Shao Xuan felt like a cold bucket of water was poured down on his head. The feeling couldn’t have been colder.

At that moment, Shao Xuan was facing a pair of eyes filled with ferocious bloodlust. The cold eyes seemed to be prepared for tearing everything apart.

There were four fangs that were dripping with blood in the wolf’s open mouth. Blood dripped down on the fur.

Shao Xuan knew in his mind that Caesar’s ferocious nature finally awakened after it had been suppressed for over two years.

Shao Xuan still remembered the wolf packs that lived in the forest where they hunt. And Caesar was similar with those experienced killers.

Even though Caesar had been spending his two years inside the tribe since it was a cub, and had never experienced the normal killing atmosphere in the forest. Even though Caesar was doing great with humans in the tribe, its ferocious nature was still buried in his body. The instinct was only waiting for the proper chance to be awakened, just like a volcano waiting to erupt. The longer it got suppressed, the more violently it would erupt.

Watching Caesar creeping besides the dead bat, Shao Xuan clenched on the stone knife he had in his hand. If Caesar could not control his killing instinct and attack people, no warrior in the hunting team would ever let him survive. Shao Xuan would put Caesar to rest himself, instead of letting others do the job.

It was impossible to say that he was not attached with the wolf after spending so much time together. In two years, the wolf had grown from a fuzzy little cub into a handsome strong wolf that was even taller than Shao Xuan if he stood straight. A lot of things had happened, and many emotions were shared.
