Chapter 162 – Their return (1/2)

Translated by Joycelyn

Chacha successfully took the children before to the Chief’s side then immediately rushed back to Shao Xuan. Only, this time, he had suffered an attack from the ground.

There would always be someone hiding in the forest throwing sharp stone spear knives at him. Arrows with stone heads would be shot out out from behind some trees or a pile of dense grass from time to time. This made him quite frustrated. He could not avoid each and every attack, and had no choice but to be hit and get injured by them.

While dodging the vital areas, Chacha made his way over to Shao Xuan.

A few from Shao Xuan’s side had noticed Chacha’s predicament. Those who were hiding while attacking were hard to deal with as Shao Xuan still had to take care of the children. He could not handle Chacha’s attackers.

“Why not let Chacha just stay up high instead? After all, to the Chief’s area from here is not too far now.” Chen Jia said.

“Yeah, don’t let it come.” Another exclaimed. They used to not like birds as previously there were always some water birds that would cause menace towards the baby treasured fish. Once there were slightly larger birds, the tribe would shoot spears or arrows towards the sky, hitting the birds down. But some of the birds flew slightly higher, making it more difficult to aim for them, thus every time when those water birds approached the ground to hunt, they would be limited by the surrounding terrains, making it easier to aim and shoot them.

Qing Yi was looking for the ones who were attacking Chacha in the surrounding areas, however, with his speed, it was hard for him to pin down those attackers.

Shao Xuan also understood that it was not good for Chacha to land now, but looking at these circumstances, if he were to go now, two of the five children will be hurt, or maybe even seriously injured or even die.

After thinking for a while, Shao Xuan exclaimed: “I’ve got an idea.”

“Really? What is it?” Chen Jia asked. If Chacha was able to come over, it would also save a lot of trouble. Them staying here would only be a burden.

“There’s no need for Chacha to land, I will let you guys naturally get onto Chacha’s back. Don’t worry!” Shao Xuan said.

Chen Jia hugged his rattan basket tight, earnestly nodding his head: “En!”

Seeing that Shao Xuan was giving his all to protect him and the rest, also doing his best to think of the best way to solve the problems beforehand, Chen Jia felt only gratitude. Even with all his previous misunderstandings, Shao Xuan had still put in his all to help. It is just like what dad said, Shao Xuan really is a nice guy eh! The Flaming Horns tribe that Shao Xuan belonged too must be all nice guys as well.

Not only Chen Jia, the other four children also felt the same, that Shao Xuan, this guy, was really nice. They also believed Shao Xuan.

“It’s tied!”

“When you reach Chacha’s back, you have to hold on tight, don’t let yourself drop down.” Shao Xuan once again warned.

“Got it, we will definitely follow your words!”

“Then that’s good.”

Shao Xuan cut down the incoming spear with a knife, the other hand grabbed onto Chen Jia who was the nearest.

Chen Jia then felt that he was being held up by a hand with robust strength, together with his rattan basket, he was carried up like little chicks or cubs.

“Are you prepared?” Shao Xuan asked.

“Yes…yes I’m ready.” Chen Ji replied, swallowing gulps of saliva down his pharynx. There was this lingering bad feeling in his mind.

And the next moment, Chen Jia was thrown up into the sky with large force. His body immediately left the stable ground, as if he was weightless, he shot up into the sky.

The tall tree on the side instantly became mini sized. The tree top that he was having to look up at before, he could see a whole bunch of them now by just lowering his head.

As having been born and lived on the wetlands, pools and other rivers like Drumming tribe member, he had developed some sort of a trauma towards the sky. They could burst out instantly with strong combat force on land. They could chase their prey who sneaks at the bottom of the water. But, the sky?

That time when Shao Xuan could bring along Chen Jia and fly up from the river bank was because he was desperate; he did not pay attention to what was happening below and did not think there was anything wrong then. At that time, he had just stared at the river bank, totally a different feeling from now.

Compared to the experience before, Chen Jia has never had another experience flying. Directly being thrown up, the scene from the ground was becoming smaller, Chen Jia felt some kind of motion sickness. Completely from a conditioned reflex, Chen Jia screamed, tearing his throat out.

“AHHHH~~~!”

Chen Jia, who always thought of himself as brave and fierce, at this moment, he was scared to the point he screamed out, almost pissing his pants. He wailed desolately.

The Flaming Horn tribe’s members, compared to the other tribes, they have much more strength. Previously Shao Xuan thought that everybody in this world was like that, only when arriving in the Drumming tribe and after meeting the Drumming tribe’s and the Martyr tribe’s members did he realise that it was not like what he thought. Therefore, in the Drumming tribe, who always thought of themselves as robust, who would have thought that one random throw of Shao Xuan’s could throw Chen Jia with his rattan basket high up into the sky.

Since Chacha was young, he has always played games like catch with Shao Xuan. The only difference now is that the thing that’s flying up was not stones or beast skin bags, but a human being. Of course, to Chacha, the two things did not have much difference, only, this time, he had to use his back to catch and not his claws.

Chen Jia still had not had a chance to recollect himself, even after landing onto Chacha’s back, he did not grab onto Chacha’s back feathers. Only until he was caught again by Chacha when he rolled down did he remember what Shao Xuan had warned about holding tight when on the bird’s back. So that he does not die from falling off, he quickly clutched securely onto Chacha’s back feathers. Because of his strength, he almost plucked off Chacha’s feathers. Chacha angrily chirped out a cry, his heart imagined of the time when he could finally catch these people to play with for fun.

Seeing that Chen Jia was safely on Chacha’s back, Shao Xuan turned back to look at the other four children.
