The surroundings suddenly quieted down, and the sound of the grass being blown by the wind could be heard clearly.
Because it was best to ensure that the grass rat was alive when cutting the rat wood, they didn't kill it. The grass rat in the hand struggled. The rat wood on its body had been cut off, leaving a brown bald spot in its place. But in half a year, the bald spot would be covered by green hair again.
Mai gave the person a look, and the person holding the grass rat bent down slightly, put the grass rat on the ground, and let go.
The grass rat that regained its freedom quickly rushed to the tall grass from before.
After a slight rustling sound, the surroundings quieted down again, but the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
No one noticed the presence of ferocious beasts in the surroundings, but they could feel a dangerous aura, but they didn't know the specific location.
The other party was very good at hiding, or else Mai wouldn't have missed it.
The grass rat ran to the grass without hesitation, which meant that it was relatively safe in the grass.
Half of the team focused on the opposite direction of the grass, while the others continued to pay attention to the surroundings.
Whoosh —
It sounded like the wind blowing.
But there was only a light breeze around, and the wind wasn't strong enough to cause such a sound.
Caesar's throat made a low growl, and at this moment, everyone's nerves were tense.
Whoosh —
There was another small but rapid sound, as if something was flying quickly.
It was close!
The surrounding trees weren't dense, and Yang Guang illuminated the forest brightly.
A black shadow flashed under Yang Guang.
"Over there!"
Mai rushed over, and at the same time, another black shadow flashed by.
In the past, the wild beasts and ferocious beasts in the forest would first attack the weakest in the team, and Shao Xuan would bear the brunt of it. He had experienced it for a whole year last year, and the others' first reaction was to protect Shao Xuan. But this time, the other party charged straight at Caesar.
Shao Xuan raised his saber and prepared to step forward to help Caesar block the attack. Unexpectedly, Caesar took the initiative to meet the attack.
Within a short distance, Caesar instantly accelerated. His speed was almost pushed to the limit. Like a tightened and loosened bow, he shot out and collided directly with the flying creatures.
Bang!
Puff!
The sound of collision and the sound of flesh being cut rang out.
The two landed on the ground and started fighting.
It was a creature that looked like a bat with a winged claw. Its wingspan was about two meters. It was probably bitten by Caesar, so it couldn't fly up immediately after landing.
However, such a creature should only be active at night. Why would it come out in broad daylight?
While the two were fighting, Shao Xuan threw a few spear darts at the bat-like creature. It was Caesar's first time encountering such a strong opponent in the wild, and it might not be able to deal with it easily. There were already a few scratches on its body.
The stinging of the spear darts distracted the bat.
Puff!
The sound of flesh being forcefully torn was heard.
The smell of blood spread.
Caesar tore off one of the bat's wings.
The sharp cry almost broke through the eardrums, and the sound waves made people dizzy. But soon, the cry came to an abrupt end because the bat's head was bitten off.
Following Caesar's low growl, there were a few more puffs. The dead bat was bitten into a bloody mess. Only then did Caesar stop.
"Caesar, come here!"
Shao Xuan quickly stepped forward, intending to check on Caesar's injuries. However, just as he approached, Caesar, who had been staring at the dead bat with his head lowered, suddenly looked up at Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan stopped in his tracks. He felt as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water over his head, making him feel cold.
At this moment, Shao Xuan was looking at a pair of eyes filled with ferocious killing intent. The cold gaze seemed to tear everything around it into pieces. It was emotionless.
In the wolf's open mouth, four of its fangs were stained with blood. Blood dripped down the fur around its mouth.
Shao Xuan knew that at this moment, Caesar's ferocious nature, which had been suppressed for two years, had awakened.
Shao Xuan remembered the pack of wolves in the forest where the hunting ground was located. Caesar was similar to those ancient wolves.
Even if he had been a cub, even if he had lived in the tribe for the past two years, even if Caesar had gotten along well with the people around him, the ferocious nature was still hidden in his body. It was only waiting for an opportunity to awaken again, like a volcanic eruption. The longer he suppressed it, the more intense the eruption would be.
Looking at Caesar, who was crouching beside the bat, Shao Xuan tightened his grip on the stone knife in his hand. If Caesar could not control his ferocious nature and attacked everyone, the hunting group would not spare him. Shao Xuan would stab him himself, and no one else would have to do it.
After two years of raising him, it was impossible to say that he had no feelings for him. Over the past two years, he had grown from a cub that could be held with one hand to a wolf that was taller than himself. Many things had happened in between.
From the cave to his own house, Shao Xuan had grown from a thin child to a totem warrior. Caesar had always been by Shao Xuan's side.
However, at this moment, both Shao Xuan and Caesar, who had lost his mind, had to make a choice. First, if he attacked the hunting group, Shao Xuan would stab him himself. Second, if he did not want to stay in the hunting group anymore, Shao Xuan would let him go for the sake of the past two years. Third, he could control his ferocious nature and come back.
Shao Xuan put his free hand behind his back, and made a gesture to the people who were on guard against Caesar, telling them not to move. His eyes were fixed on the wolf that was less than ten meters away from him.
Caesar, what will you choose?
In fact, when he decided to bring Caesar out, Shao Xuan had thought about such a situation. Although he did not want to face it, if he stayed in the tribe and did nothing but eat and sleep, he would become everyone's food sooner or later. The Shaman had given him a tattoo, but he could take it back. Here, a pet that only enjoyed a comfortable life was not allowed. He needed to prove his value.
Blood flowed from the corners of the wolf's mouth, and its eyes were filled with killing intent. It stood there, panting. Every time it breathed, it would carry the thick smell of the blood of this strange bat.
However, looking at Shao Xuan, the wolf's murderous look gradually faded away, and his eyes became clear.
Wiping the blood from his mouth, Caesar looked up at Shao Xuan, and then walked towards Shao Xuan.
"Xuan …" Lang Ga could not help but remind him. They were really frightened by Caesar's appearance.
In the tribe, everyone said that Caesar was a wolf that had lost his spirit, and that he was useless. Many people said that Caesar should be eaten as food. However, what was wrong with Caesar just now?
Lost his spirit? Bullshit! That murderous look made Lang Ga shiver, and he almost threw the spear in his hand at him.
Useless? He even tore off the wings of that monster just now. How could he be called useless?!
Sure enough, a beast was still a beast. His ferocity was still there.
Shao Xuan waved his hand behind his back again, telling Lang Ga and the others not to make a move for now.
Caesar lifted his foot and slowly walked towards Shao Xuan. His wolf claws were still stained with blood. Every step he took, he left a bloody footprint. His fur was also stained with blood when he tore off his wings, making him look even more ferocious.
Eight meters … Five meters … Three meters …
Shao Xuan looked at the wolf that was getting closer and closer. His eyes were calm, but his heart was beating faster. He stretched out the hand behind his back, but the other hand was still holding the stone knife, ready to deal with any changes.
Caesar panted as he slowly walked in front of Shao Xuan. He looked at Shao Xuan, then lowered his head, as if he knew that he had done something wrong. He lowered his ears and rubbed his head against Shao Xuan's outstretched palm.
The moment his palm touched the wolf's head, Shao Xuan let out a long breath and put down his hand that was holding the stone knife.
As usual, Shao Xuan would rub Caesar's head after completing the task successfully. "Well done."
Caesar's head swayed along Shao Xuan's hand. He even stuck out his tongue and licked Shao Xuan's hand, getting some bat blood on Shao Xuan's hand.
"Xuan … Are you okay now?" Lang Ga stuttered. Caesar looked the same as usual, but after what happened just now, he didn't dare to approach him. He didn't put down the spear in his hand.
"I'm okay now." Shao Xuan knew that the others in the hunting group would have to guard against Caesar for a while, but he knew that it would get better gradually.
After this incident, Caesar's ferocity came back. But it was good that he could control himself.
Pulling Caesar aside, Shao Xuan checked the claw marks on his body. He took out some powder that he made to treat external injuries and sprinkled it on the wounds. He wanted to see if it would work.
After Shao Xuan pulled Caesar aside, Lang Ga and the others walked over to check the dead bat.
The other one had been killed by Mai. That one was bigger than the one Caesar killed, with longer and sharper claws. If Caesar had fought against that one, he would have been badly injured.
"Why did these things come out in the daytime?" Another older warrior in the hunting group asked.
"Is it the same as last year's Thorn Black Wind? It also came out in the daytime. "Someone asked.
"No, it's not the same." Mai shook his head, "The Thorn Black Wind came out to take revenge on us. But, why did these things come out? I've been hunting for so many years, and I've only seen them a few times. "
The group fell into silence.
They were not afraid of these creatures. In fact, these two were not very powerful in the forest. But, they were afraid that there might be some trouble behind them. Every abnormal situation in the forest could be a sign of something big.
While they were in silence, they suddenly heard a few whistles.
All the members of the hunting group were here, but no one blew the whistle. Obviously, the whistles were not from their own group, but from other groups.
"You guys stay here. We'll go and have a look." Mai led a few people and rushed towards the direction where the whistles came from.
After a while, Mai and the others came with five people. The five of them all had different degrees of injuries.
They were from a hunting group that was close to Shao Xuan's hunting route. Last year, when Shao Xuan and Mao were chased away by the Thorn Black Wind, Mai asked them for help.
Seeing the bat that was killed by Mai on the ground, the leading man's face changed, "You guys met it?!"
"Not just one, we met two." Lang Ga and the others stepped aside, showing the one that was killed by Caesar.
"So, you guys met it too?" Mai looked at the man who came over.
The man sighed, "Yeah, I don't know why, these things should come out at night, but they run around during the day. Our group has been attacked many times … Oh right, we're here to ask you for a favor."
While speaking, the man looked at Shao Xuan and Caesar, who was lying beside Shao Xuan, "I heard that your wolf can find things by smell?"
Mai did not answer, but looked at Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan nodded, and answered, "Yes."
"It caught a grass rat just now!" Lang Ga said. Although they were still on guard against Caesar, they could not help showing off to the other hunting groups. When they left the tribe, the other hunting groups often mocked them.
"We want to borrow it." The man did not care about Lang Ga's tone, and said.
"What for?" Mai asked.
