Chapter 144 – A foreign objec (1/2)

Translated by Sunyancai

That eagle was even bigger than that the one that had brought them here, and it looked like it had flown a long journey and was very tired. After he fell on the ice, he did not move any more, just gasped for air.

Originally, he was just randomly looking around and wasn’t trying to find Shao Xuan. And then he just stared at Shao Xuan as if Shao Xuan was a rarity.

Shao Xuan, who held a piece of ice and was about to nibble at it, just stopped when he found that he was being stared at by the giant eagle.

What the hell did the eagle want to do?

Shao Xuan did not see malice in the eye of the eagle, but he was still wondering what the eagle wanted.

The eagle stared at Shao Xuan for a while and then diverted his sight to the ice column next to Shao Xuan, and then looked at Shao Xuan.

Did he want to eat ice?

Shao Xuan took out his tooth sword and pried off a block of ice from the ice column. When he turned around, he found the eagle was staring at his tooth sword.

Shao Xuan thought for a short while, and then inserted tooth sword into the ice layer. He held up the ice block and showed it to the eagle.

Shao Xuan wanted to throw the ice block to the eagle along the ice layer. But the eagle directly opened his beak and then shook his curved beak, as if urging Shao Xuan to be quick.

Shao Xuan moved over towards the eagle, step by step. Even if the eagle didn’t show malice, Shao Xuan thought he still needs to be cautious when he faced a behemoth like this, especially in the situation that he did not carry his tooth sword.

When Shao Xuan was close to the eagle, he threw the ice block into the mouth of the eagle quickly, and trotted back immediately.

The eagle directly swallowed up the ice block without chewing it. And then, he opened his mouth once again.

Shao Xuan pried off another ice block and threw it into the mouth of the eagle. He went back and forth for more than ten times. Finally, the eagle quivered his wings and stood up from the ground.

When the eagle flapped his large wings and was about to fly up, plenty of ice particles dropped off from his body and some fell on Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan raised his hands to keep them away.

At that time, Shao Xuan thought of something. He thought this eagle didn’t seem to be unfamiliar with humans, unlike the eagle that brought them here. The reason he was stunned when he saw Shao Xuan may be because he did not expect to find a human in this place.

Could the eagle live in the mountain forest around their tribe’s hunting ground?

Suddenly, one thing attracted Shao Xuan’s sight. He could not help but go forward a few steps and stare at one claw of the eagle. A blurry pattern was drawn on it.

Relating it to the behavior of the eagle just now, Shao Xuan thought the eagle must have contact with humans. Like Chacha, there were too many humanized things in this eagle’s eyes. He must have contact with humans frequently, for he had acted in a way the other eagles did not.

The giant eagle walked with heavy steps towards a taller ice column and bit the ice block on it.

Shao Xuan followed and walked close to the eagle. He wanted to see the pattern on his claw clearly.

But the pattern was incomplete, because the outside layer of the claw had fallen off partly. Shao Xuan had to guess the missing part of the pattern.

Shao Xuan felt a thrill when he thought this pattern might be left by another tribe.

He had been in this world for so long and never seen a human from another tribe.

Shao Xuan drew on the ground with his tooth sword. The eagle next to him had finished eating and seemed much better than before, when he couldn’t even stand up.

He lowered his head and looked at Shao Xuan drawing on the ground. At first, he was quiet, but later, every once Shao Xuan drew a stroke, he made a sound and scratched the picture with his claw.

“Wrong? Let me try again…….”

But he just continued a few strokes, and the eagle scratched it again.

“Wrong again. Draw again.”

Shao Xuan drew and drew, while the eagle scratched and scratched. After a while, the ice in the surroundings was scratched into a mess. At this time, the eagle lost his patience. He stopped scratching, cried a sound towards Shao Xuan, and began to twitch his neck.

“Wait! What do you want!”

At the sight of such a situation, Shao Xuan hurriedly stepped back!

“Waooh~~.”

A pile of puke dropped in front of Shao Xuan. If Shao Xuan avoided it a little slower, this puke would have just fallen on his head.

In the puke, there were some pieces of meat from body parts of unknown animals.

Shao Xuan: “….”

He was wondering whether he needed to run, but a stone in the puke caught his sight.

It was a stone which was polished smoothly and was about palm-sized.

Shao Xuan ignored the revolting puke and ran fast to pull out the smooth stone from it.

When he picked up the stone, he wiped it by using the feather of the eagle, and then he looked at it carefully from the side.

The stone was black and flat, and a white pattern was drawn on it. Shao Xuan thought the white pattern might be the same as that on the claw of the eagle.

The pattern looked like an abstract cloud. The painting materials for the pattern were strange, the pattern could still stay clear, even in the belly of the eagle, the stone was not damaged at al.

Shao Xuan didn’t know why the eagle swallowed the stone, and also could spit it out spontaneously. What interested Shao Xuan was where the pattern and the stone came from?

The eagle looked at the stone gently.

However, the eagle could not speak, and Shao Xuan could not understand the eagles’ language. Shao Xuan could only guess the eagle’s meaning from his body movements. Yes, he spit out the stone to show the correct pattern to Shao Xuan when he saw Shao Xuan drew it wrong time and time again.

The stone was very nice. It must be cut from superior natural stones.
