Chapter 579 (1/2)

The figure in the sky was very fast. A moment ago it was just a small black dot but now it was already across the river.

As the eagle got closer, everyone’s gaze was filled with even more confusion, as if in disbelief. They looked over towards Shao Xuan, who was smiling. They thought, ‘Is he really not going to do anything?’

Ao thought that the eagle was the Chacha that Shao Xuan mentioned before. But Chacha wasn’t that big in size. If it was Chacha, why didn’t the Drumming tribe recognise it?

Even with their own suspicion, Ao didn’t let anyone attack it. He just pointed his chin towards Shao Xuan, as an instruction for them to wait for Shao Xuan’s next words.

“Caw--”

A bright call came from above. It was so loud that some of them covered their ears.

Caesar opened his jaws wide but was unsure so he did not reply.

The large bird came speeding towards them, bringing so much force with its wings that everyone’s hair was immediately messed up. A few smaller tribespeople were nearly blown backwards too. Ao lifted his hands to cover his eyes, it was hard for him to keep his eyes open.

Thud!

As the giant eagle landed, it crushed the stones beneath, causing chips and mud to fly up and hit people’s arms.

Shao Xuan greeted his old friend with open arms and a warm smile.

Only then Ao brought his arms down to look at them.

The eagle before him was double the size of the eagle in his memory. Its pattern was not like the one he knew. He only cast away his doubts when he saw the eagle warmly greeting Shao Xuan.

“Long time no see, Chacha.” Shao Xuan patted Chacha’s lowered head.

[TL’s Note: I’ve been told the previous TL used ‘he/him’ pronouns for Chacha so I’m correcting most parts.]

Chacha was humongous now, was it because of his trip to Eagle Mountain? His feathers had patterns of mountains on it now.

Back when they were in the Drumming tribe, Chacha was rarely on the ground. He rarely interacted with the tribespeople so it was not unusual that the tribespeople didn’t recognise him with the new changes.

Chacha was very excited. If Shao Xuan wasn’t this strong, he would have knocked him over already.

Chacha saw Caesar standing at the side and moved over to interact with him until he saw Caesar's injured eye.

Chacha was shocked. He hadn’t been gone for long, when did this friend become a cyclops?

“Hey! Ah Xuan, is this Chacha?” asked Ao.
