As an intermediate totem warrior, Mai held an important position in the hunting team. He had a lot of work to do back in the tribe, so he was not as free as Lang Ga. When Shao Xuan arrived, Mai was assigning patrol tasks to two warriors.
Shao Xuan waited for the two warriors to come out before he went in.
Inside the house, Mai was processing the meat he brought back. He only did some preliminary processing during the hunt, so he had to chop them into small pieces and marinate them. He also had to sort them out for other uses.
"You're here?" Seeing Shao Xuan enter the house, Mai waved his hand and threw a piece of bloody meat the size of a winter melon to Shao Xuan, "Take it back and eat it. You're a totem warrior now, so you eat a lot. You'll get hungry during training."
Many people would reduce their training time when they were short of food. After all, once a totemic warrior started training, they would consume more energy, so naturally, they would need to eat more. Especially for warriors like Shao Xuan who had just awakened, it was the time for them to grow, so they could not lack food.
"Thank you, Uncle Mai," Shao Xuan took the meat and handed the net bag to Mai, "This is for you."
Mai put down the stone axe and looked at the net bag curiously, "You made it yourself?"
"Well, it's definitely not as good as yours, Uncle Mai. But it's still okay." Shao Xuan scratched his head and said. Compared to Lang Ga's stone arrowheads, the ones Shao Xuan gave Mai didn't have as many stone arrowheads. Instead, most of them were spearheads for throwing during hunting. After all, the two of them had different responsibilities in the hunting team, so the stone arrowheads they used were naturally different.
Mai had heard from Lang Ga that Shao Xuan was learning stone tools from Old Ke. But it had not been long, so Mai did not expect to see many exquisite things. Shao Xuan was thoughtful enough to send him something, so he did not want to discourage this kid.
Mai smiled and pulled open the net bag, intending to say some words of encouragement. "Actually, you can't rush into crafting stone tools. It's already very good that you're able to do this. In the future …"
His voice came to an abrupt halt. Mai looked at the well-polished spearheads in the net bag and swallowed back the words of encouragement he was about to say.
The sharpened spearhead was the same as Mai's usual spearhead. Its spine was slightly higher, and the blade of the spearhead was also very sharp. The spearhead's blade gathered into a sharp point, and there were no traces of it being beaten. Clearly, a lot of effort had been put into the sharpening. Unlike the spearheads used by many warriors, the spearheads Mai liked to use had grooves for drinking blood on both sides of the spine. Shao Xuan also had grooves for drinking blood!
Just like Lang Ga, Mai also gave Shao Xuan a stone tool for training. It was a spear that he had used before. However, when he gave it out, he did not expect to receive such a gift in return.
"These … these … are you really polishing them yourself?!"
Mai looked at Shao Xuan, and saw Shao Xuan nodding. Mai then looked at the stone tools in his hands. He did not expect Shao Xuan to have such a gift. In this case, even if Shao Xuan could not improve his strength in the future, he would be able to live a peaceful life in the tribe. He would not have to starve.
After being stunned for a while, Mai laughed, "Good! Very good! "
Unlike Lang Ga, Mai did not spend so much effort on crafting stone tools, nor did he care much about them. Therefore, when he saw Shao Xuan's stone tools, he only admired them.
After putting away the spearheads, Mai asked about Shao Xuan's training during this period, and gave some suggestions. He did think highly of Shao Xuan, but he also agreed that the newly awakened ones should train more. There was no need to rush to join the hunting team. Otherwise, they would be like Hoodlum, who was too eager for success. However, when the time came, they would make a lot of mistakes and become a burden.
After thinking for a while, Mai reached out his hand and said to Shao Xuan, "Punch my hand, and let me see your strength."
After a totemic warrior's ability was improved, his strength would continue to increase. That was why Mai wanted to use this method to see Shao Xuan's results during this period of training. However, he did not expect Shao Xuan to improve much. After all, Shao Xuan had spent most of his time making stone tools.
"Okay."
Shao Xuan put aside the meat in his hand, and stretched his arms and legs. In fact, he did not know how different he was from the other kids, except for his special ability. He also did not know what level he was at now. It would be good for his future training if he could get some advice from Mai.
Since he wanted to test his fist strength, he had to use his totemic power.
Taking a deep breath, Shao Xuan mobilized the totemic power in his body. Immediately, clear totemic patterns appeared on his face, and quickly spread from his face to his neck.
Mai was satisfied to see Shao Xuan mobilizing his totemic power so quickly. He was much better than the other kids who had been preparing for a long time.
Shao Xuan suddenly stomped on the ground with his right foot, and rushed towards Mai at a high speed. He punched Mai's hand.
Bang!
The fist hit the palm, but it was like a collision between rocks.
Shao Xuan felt as if he had hit a hard steel wall, which was completely different from the rock he had hit in his training.
Shao Xuan staggered back two steps, and took back his fist. He grinned and rubbed his fist. Actually, it wasn't just his fist that was hurting. His entire arm was aching.
Sure enough, there was such a big difference between a newly awakened totemic warrior and an intermediate totemic warrior. Looking at Mai, he looked like he had just hit a piece of tofu, and his hand was not even red.
Shao Xuan also noticed that the totemic patterns on Mai's body had indeed gone past his elbow, and some of them had even spread along his forearm. Unlike him, his totemic patterns had just gone past his shoulder.
In fact, Mai was not so calm. He looked at Shao Xuan in surprise. Compared to the pain in his hand, he had seen the totemic patterns on Shao Xuan's shoulder, but now they had disappeared. He did not know if it was an illusion, but Shao Xuan's punch was indeed stronger than most of the newly awakened totemic warriors …
Winter was over, and the weather was getting warmer. The temperature was rising day by day, and he had to train every day. For convenience, Shao Xuan was now wearing a sleeveless animal skin coat, so the totemic patterns on his shoulder were naturally exposed.
Maybe Mai did not have Old Ke's eyesight, but compared to most people, he was much better.
"Again! Use all your strength! "Mai said to Shao Xuan.
Seeing that Mai had other ideas, Shao Xuan did not hesitate.
Taking a deep breath, Shao Xuan mobilized the totemic power in his body again. In his mind, the flames wrapped around the horns suddenly grew, and the totemic power was mobilized to the limit.
Feeling the surging power flowing through every muscle and every bone, Shao Xuan's mental state reached its peak in an instant. After working on stone tools for so long, his precise control of the totemic power had shown its advantage. He was very familiar with the instantaneous accumulation of power, and he could feel it every day. Every time this happened, Shao Xuan would have a strong sense of confidence!
At the same time, the flame patterns on Shao Xuan's body became abnormally bright, and he could almost feel the burning heat of the flames.
The moment he exerted force on his leg, the ground trembled slightly.
Whoosh!
Before the punch arrived, the wind from the punch had already arrived.
Although Shao Xuan was only a junior totem warrior who had just awakened, and he hadn't trained his strength to the extreme, the sudden explosion of his fist brought about an unparalleled momentum.
Looking at the kid in front of him who only reached his waist, Mai's eyes widened slightly.
Bang!
A clear cracking sound could be heard.
Shao Xuan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his entire arm, as if he was being roasted on a bonfire. The burning pain was endless.
Mai's face even stiffened for a moment, but soon returned to normal. However, he was still shocked. He stared at Shao Xuan, and did not withdraw his outstretched hand for a long time.
Shao Xuan, who was pushed back a few steps by the recoil, waved his arms and made a hissing sound. He didn't expect it to be so painful. Compared to the feeling of the last punch, the difference was not just a little bit.
"Xuan." Mai said with some difficulty.
"Ah?" Shao Xuan waved his arm, and looked at Mai. He was not worried about his arm. Even if it was broken, it would heal in a few days. This was the advantage of the tribesmen's physique.
"You go back … and get ready …"
Hearing Mai's words, Shao Xuan wondered if Mai would tell him not to come out for three days, just like Lang Ga did. He continued to look at Mai, waiting for him to continue.
"Get ready … and go hunting with us next time."
