Chapter 132 – Enthusiasm rises anew (1/2)

Translated by Sunyancai

Many of the people raising the cubs almost lost all their patience in training. Every day, when they went to bed, they always considered cooking their cubs tomorrow.

But witnessing Caesar’s change aroused some people’s expectations, so they continued raising their cubs.

Said Shao Xuan the cubs must be trained frequently, so they spared some time to train them every day. If it was inconvenient to train their cubs in the tribe, they brought them to the training grounds.

In the woods, many cubs learned hunting skills while frolicking, such as searching, catching, throwing the prey, biting, and so on. And after being trained, some could give full play to their talents, overshadowing their companions, while others became more ordinary.

However, the cubs in the tribe were all talented.

When these people brought their cubs to the several hills around the training grounds, Chacha liked to cause trouble for them.

Lei was training his cub to sneak according to his orders. While he was training it, he heard a noise near him, which was caused by something flying rapidly in the air. He looked round and found his cub had disappeared.

He raised his head and saw the eagle that Shao Xuan kept, circling above him, holding his cub. No matter how he shouted and threatened the eagle, it did not put his cub down, and even flew higher. Then it flapped its wings and left.

Chacha flew back to the tribe with Lei’s cub, and came across Shao Xuan who was going down the mountain.

Chacha never took the others’ words seriously, but it did what Shao Xuan ordered it to do.

He did not throw it down directly, because if it did so, the cub would die if Shao Xuan failed to catch it. After descending, Chacha threw the cub in his claws to Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan caught it, looked at it, and recognized that it was Lei’s cub.

Shao Xuan did not know the type of this cub, but many people did not care about this in the tribe. Shao Xuan remembered that Lei named it Meng.

Meng, at first glance, looked a bit like a hyena, but if you carefully observed it, you would find that it differed much from a hyena. It had a longer and stronger jaw, and his mouth had sharp teeth. It was some kind of carnivore which Lei’s group often encountered. In terms of its habits, they were similar to wolves.

Compared to the wolves, the animals in Meng’s tribe had a more narrow and long body, with a larger skull. The adult animal had powerful muscles so they ran quite fast, therefore, the hunting group was often vigilant of them.

Lei seized the chance to catch Meng when they fought the group.

Although Meng was scared of the height, it still exposed its fangs to Chacha after being caught by Shao Xuan.

While he was checking, Lei caught up with them, tired and out of breath. When Lei looked at Chacha, he was so angry that his veins were visible on his forehead.

Chacha could fly away directly, but Lei had to run over the mountains. There were twists and turns on his way, so it took him a lot of time to catch up with Chacha.

Seeing Lei, Shao Xuan put Meng on the ground, who immediately ran towards him, and then lay near Lei’s leg, roaring towards Chacha, that was behind Shao Xuan.

“Well-trained.” Said Shao Xuan.

Judging From Meng’s behavior, he concluded it depended on Lei heavily, which meant it would possibly follow the orders, and even survive the first hunting mission.

Lei was in a different team, so he had opposing views of Shao Xuan under normal circumstances. However, because of training cubs, Lei held a better attitude towards Shao Xuan.

The one-year appointment of last winter now sounded like a joke. It was known to all that Shao Xuan found the very precious fire crystals during the first hunting mission after the ritual. Moreover, he carried many people in the hunting team out of danger. All of that could be considered hunting achievements. In this aspect, he overshadowed the others.

So, according to the one-year appointment last winter, everyone would keep their words and show their achievements this winter. But Shao Xuan needn’t do so. Lei had no choice but to accept this result.

After checking Meng to make sure it was not hurt, Lei looked at Chacha, that was behind Shao Xuan.

“Ah-Xuan, you should pay more attention to it, for it has often caused trouble.”

“OK, but you should also train Meng to be vigilant of flying birds.” Said Shao Xuan.

Lei nodded, intending to take Meng to leave. He took two steps, stopped, and turned around. He asked Shao Xuan, “Do you know what the Chief and the team leaders are discussing in the Shaman’s house?”

“You know?” Shao Xuan looked at Lei and asked. The elders in Lei’s family had discussed the new route with the Shaman, so he should also have been told about this program.

“Of course I know, I can tell you, but you have to tell me something else in exchange for it.” Said Lei.

“What do you want to know?” Shao Xuan asked.

“I want to know the reason of Caesar’s change in detail.” Said Lei with expectations, his eyes glistening. Between the regular beasts and the ferocious beasts, he naturally preferred the ferocious beasts, so he wished Meng to become a ferocious beast in the future…
