The day before yesterday, Caesar had been flung away by an old deer, but today, he could directly pounce on a young deer and make it fall to the ground.
Just now, Caesar's speed and strength had far exceeded that of two days ago.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, the deer stopped moving.
Caesar let go of the deer's neck and gasped for breath. Deer blood dripped from the wolf's teeth, and the blood on the ground grew bigger and bigger. Because of the hunting just now, Caesar's eyes were still full of murderous intent, but it could be seen that Caesar was very excited now.
Looking at Caesar like this, Lang Ga and others did not dare to make a sound, let alone instruct him to drive away the separated deer.
Although he had woken up and could walk and run, Caesar was still a little weak. After gasping for breath for a while, Caesar opened his mouth again and bit the deer's neck. Then, he dragged the deer in the direction of Shao Xuan.
Mai and the others' eyelids twitched.
Just now, he threw down the deer face to face. What was going on now? Even if Caesar had grown up, he was still much smaller than this adult deer. However, at this moment, Caesar was dragging this deer step by step.
Considering Caesar's speed and strength just now, Mai and the others looked at each other.
Ferocious beast!
Maybe it was not as ferocious as the four-fanged wild boar, but it could be counted as a ferocious beast.
Even though they knew that Caesar was not malicious, watching the wolf dragging the deer step by step, Mai and the others could not help but feel nervous. When Caesar dragged the deer past them, everyone's muscles tightened. They could also smell the smell of deer blood coming out of Caesar's breath.
The momentum of blood.
This was a ferocious beast.
Against wild beasts, they might be able to win easily, but against ferocious beasts, they never dared to underestimate them. Every time they faced a ferocious beast, they were extremely cautious. They had never thought that they would be so close to a ferocious beast.
After placing the dead deer in front of Shao Xuan, Caesar began to assist the hunting team in hunting. It had just killed one deer, so it didn't plan to hunt any more. It only helped to drive the others away.
At first, everyone was very nervous, but once the hunt began, they quickly entered the zone.
In the past, it was difficult for Caesar to drive away the stray deer. Sometimes, he could see the carelessness in the eyes of the deer. However, they had been attacked by wolves similar to Caesar many times before, so it was inevitable that they were afraid of wolves. Sometimes, when they saw Caesar turn and run, it was just a conditioned reflex.
But now, after seeing that Caesar had killed a young giant-antler deer, they knew to be afraid. Especially the stray deer, when they saw Caesar, they ran away quickly and turned around without any hesitation.
As long as he didn't have to face the giant-antler deer in the herd, Caesar could easily win. Fortunately, the giant-antler deer were protecting their young deer, so they wouldn't leave the herd easily. As long as the number of giant-antler deer was within their acceptable range, they wouldn't come out.
When they dragged the prey back to the cave, the hunting team was still sighing in their hearts.
Who would have thought that humans and ferocious beasts would hunt together in the past?
However, on second thought, their hunting team was the first hunting team with wild beasts, and now it was also the first hunting team with ferocious beasts.
Thinking about it made them a little excited.
Even Mai was discussing with Qiao in private whether they should catch two young beasts for Yang Guang and his sister to train. Unfortunately, Yang Guang and his sister refused Mai's offer. They said that they would go catch them themselves when they became stronger.
"We need to catch a strong one!" Guang said.
"Yes." Yang echoed.
"We need to be as obedient as Caesar!"
"Yes!"
"We don't want a bald pig like Mao!"
"Yes!"
Mai shook his head and smiled as he listened to the siblings. "Not all of them can … mutate."
Shao Xuan didn't tell them about the secret art of engraving. It was not up to Shao Xuan to explain, but up to the Shaman. They would discuss it with the Shaman when they got back to the tribe.
The day before they went to the second location, Caesar left the hunting team, and Shao Xuan didn't follow him this time. When Caesar came back again, he was injured, but not seriously. There was a lot of blood on his fur, but most of it wasn't his. In Caesar's mouth, a wolf's neck was bitten off, and it was dragged back by Caesar.
"Is this … the alpha of the wolf pack?!" Mai looked at the fur patterns on the dead wolf, and said in surprise.
"It looks like it." Lang Ga looked at it and said.
"Is Caesar going to slaughter that pack of wolves?" someone asked.
"Maybe he did."
"So, there is no wolf pack in this place for the time being?"
No matter whether Caesar slaughtered that wolf pack, or just killed the alpha, it was a good thing for the hunting team. At least the wolf pack was less of a threat, and they really didn't want to face such a cruel wolf pack.
Caesar dragged the alpha wolf to Shao Xuan, and put it down, looking at Shao Xuan.
"This is your prey. Put it in the storage cave with the other prey in the hunting team, and bring it back later. Skin it and feed it to your nest." Shao Xuan said.
Caesar seemed to be satisfied with Shao Xuan's suggestion. After putting it down, he didn't look at it anymore, and just lay down to rest. The wounds on its body had already scabbed, so it didn't need any more medicine.
As soon as Caesar left, Yang Guang and his sister, Tu, Jie Ba and other young warriors gathered around, and looked at the dead alpha wolf with interest. They didn't dare to get close to the living ones, but it was okay to look at the dead ones. Even at this moment, the alpha wolf still looked ferocious.
Just like how Mao was interested in the Thorn Black Wind, these young warriors were also curious about this alpha wolf. They touched it from its teeth to its claws, and kept praising it.
"No wonder it's an alpha wolf! Look at its teeth and claws! "
"Brother Xuan, will Caesar also become an alpha wolf in the future?" Yang Guang and his sister looked at Shao Xuan.
"I don't know." Shao Xuan said.
Could a wolf in the hunting team become an alpha wolf? Everyone shook their heads.
But … there were still many cubs in the tribe.
Maybe he could really become an alpha wolf!
But they didn't know how long they would have to wait.
The following hunting was much easier than usual. With Caesar's help, Mai and the others felt less pressure. After all, there were many young warriors in the hunting team, and one more strong helper meant one more guarantee.
When the hunting team came to an end, they went back along the route. When they passed by the hunting area of the first stronghold, they didn't see a wolf with a spotted pattern on its back.
That wolf pack might have disappeared from this forest.
After these days, although Caesar still looked very thin, he was much better than when he just woke up. He would be even better after a while.
Caesar hunted for food every day, so he ate a lot. If only Shao Xuan raised him, he couldn't afford it. Fortunately, he hunted a lot of prey for himself, so he could bring them back with him.
On the day when the hunting team returned to the tribe, Caesar once again aroused a heated discussion.
But Shao Xuan didn't say too much until he was summoned by the Shaman.
"You used the Secret Art of Engraving?" Although there was doubt in his tone, the Shaman's eyes were very sure.
Even if the ancestors used the Secret Art of Engraving, the success rate was only fifty percent. But Shao Xuan succeeded on his first try. The Shaman didn't know whether he was lucky or not.
The reason for Caesar's change could be hidden from others, but not from the Shaman. Besides, Shao Xuan didn't want to hide it from the Shaman.
Shao Xuan told the Shaman the details of what happened at that time. He said, "When I saw Caesar's change, I was shocked. After all, there was no such record in the ancient scrolls left by the ancestors."
In order to be sure, the Shaman carefully looked through the animal skin scrolls related to the Secret Art of Engraving. Indeed, there was no record of Caesar's change. According to the animal skin scrolls, after the engraving was successful, the changes of the hunting dogs didn't happen so fast or so violently.
The effect of the Secret Art of Engraving seemed to be a little different from what the ancestors said.
The Shaman asked Shao Xuan to bring Caesar to see for himself. After a careful examination, he felt that Caesar's change was much greater than what the ancestors had recorded. Not only that, but Caesar didn't stop changing after he woke up. As time went by, Caesar's change became more and more obvious. He didn't stop growing. Sometimes when he moved around in the house, Old Ke was afraid that he would knock down the wall.
"When Chacha meets the requirements, I'll engrave it on him and see his change." Shao Xuan said.
After the first attempt, Shao Xuan was confident that he could successfully use the Secret Art of Engraving again. In fact, in retrospect, the Secret Art of Engraving was not as difficult as what was recorded in the ancient scrolls.
If the Shaman knew what Shao Xuan was thinking, he would probably run to the fire pit and kowtow to the ancestors who had passed away. With such talent, why didn't he become a Shaman?!
Hearing Shao Xuan mention Chacha, the Shaman didn't agree.
"No, Chacha is different from Caesar." The Shaman said.
Shao Xuan wasn't sure what the Shaman meant, but before he could continue asking, the Shaman talked about something else.
Since Caesar's engraving was successful, the other cubs in the tribe had to be developed well.
In the Shaman's opinion, he would be satisfied if one out of ten cubs in the tribe could grow up to Caesar's level.
The cubs, who were growing up, were not as obedient as Caesar. They were harder to control, and most of the people in the tribe were not good-tempered. If it weren't for Shao Xuan's frequent lectures and tips, they would have already started fighting, and more cubs would have ended up in the pot.
After leaving the Shaman's place and going down the mountain, Shao Xuan saw several cubs following behind Caesar. Compared to when they had just arrived, the cubs had grown up a lot. By this time next year, they would be a small wolf pack.
When the several young men saw Shao Xuan, they hurried to ask for advice from Shao Xuan. Some of them didn't take it seriously before, but when they saw the changed Caesar, they changed their attitude.
After Shao Xuan left, the Shaman came to the place where the ancient scrolls were kept. He opened a huge stone box, in which many ancient scrolls were neatly placed.
The Shaman took out several original ancient scrolls, all of which were related to the Secret Art of Engraving.
It seemed that the matter of publicizing the hunting dogs and the Secret Art of Engraving could be put on the agenda. The Shaman thought to himself.
After taking out several animal skin scrolls, the Shaman looked at the ancient scrolls in the big stone box, sighed deeply, and closed the stone lid.
He believed that the dusty history would gradually reveal itself in front of everyone.
