Chapter 146 – Derp forgot to translate title, it will co later
Translated by Idontreallycare (Derp)
Chacha landed directly in front of the door, while Caesar was running back and forth, chasing after them.
Jumping off of Chacha’s back, Shao Xuan went up to Old Ke and gave him a big hug.
“I’m back!”
“It’s good that you’re back!” Old Ke said while pounding Shao Xuan on his shoulder, “You’ve gotten stronger!”
Sweeping his eyes across the room as he entered, he found that nothing had changed since he had left. Only beside a wooden crate on the ground, were there countless grinded stone tools piled up high. These were Old Ke’s masterpieces.
Feeling left out, Caesar interrupted with his whining and moaning.
“Long ti no see, old friend.” Seeing the shoulder height, two ter long Caesar, Shao Xuan started rubbing his head.
After calming down from the excitent, Old Ke realized sothing was strange. Outside the house, Chacha was just loitering around.
He had previously been able to enter the room, but now, obviously he couldn’t. Even without expanding his wings, he would still be too big. Even when Caesar entered the house, he had to be careful. If he misstepped, he might step on sothing, or knock over the table.
“This is Chacha?” With gleaming eyes, Old Ke walked forward on his crutches.
They had left for less than a year and Chacha had already beco this big?
After fetching so water and taking a bath, Shao Xuan changed into clean clothes. Old Ke had already prepared a pot of at soup with so fruit found in the mountain. Shao Xuan found the taste of the first mouthful to be quite strange, but after becoming used to it, he began savouring it more and more.
During the ti they were gone they needed to be careful, so even if they used fire to cook, they would be forced to do so quickly. Many tis, they couldn’t even finishing cooking before encountering a situation. So while travelling, as long as there was food, it would be considered good, don’t even ntion at soup. Even when arriving at Eagle Mountain, Shao Xuan was forced to gnaw on the ice. In such an environnt, battered by the freezing winds, even his teeth started shivering.
It had been about a year since he had last tasted hot soup. When a bowl was placed in front of him he quickly gulped it all down, leaving his whole body feeling warm and satisfied, while his exhaustion was swiftly dispelled.
Now that he had returned ho, he felt his heart becoming at peace.
While eating, Old Ke updated Shao Xuan on matters regarding the tribe since he was gone. With Shao Xuan gone, Old Ke could only complain each day to Caesar. While cracking so nuts found around the tribe, he threw them into Chacha’s mouth.
Once he was finished with his soup, and after eating a few pieces of at, Shao Xuan wiped his mouth. Towards Old Ke he said, “You should rest at ho, I’ll go up the mountain for a bit.”
“Up the mountain? What are you going to do?” Old Ke nervously asked. The conflict between the two hunting groups had escalated since he had left. Listening to the stories told by those that went up the mountain, there seed to be intense fights everyday.
“I’m going to look for the Shaman.” Shao Xuan replied.
“Alright, you should visit him.” Hearing his reason, Old Ke relaxed. “You go now. Since it’s not early anymore, I’ll make plans to build Chacha a nest in the morning. Ai! Luckily there is quite a bit of wood inside the house. A few days ago, Tu and Jie Ba helped cut a few trees down.”
Thinking that it had been a while since he had seen Tu and Jie Ba, a smile appeared on Shao Xuan’s face. “Use the wood. If there’s not enough I’ll cut more, or I’ll get Chacha to pull down a few trees.”
Not bringing Caesar or Chacha along, Shao Xuan left the house, greeting familiar faces along the way.
Inside the tribe, quite a few people had caught sight of the flying eagle, but because the distance had been far, apart from those below the mountain and those living near Shao Xuan, not many people had beco aware of how big Chacha had grown.
When Shao Xuan was halfway up the mountain, he was halted by a rough voice.
Hearing this, Shao Xuan looked towards the source, “Keke.”
The person who was calling out was Keke. When Tuo went to inform his friend about Shao Xuan’s arrival, Keke had already co to know about it. Originally, Keke was going to wait until the next day to seek Shao Xuan out; who knew that while lazily lying on his roof, he would be able to coincidentally et him.
Catching sight of Keke, Tuo hurried over, hoping to avoid Shao Xuan getting injured again.
“Haha, long ti no see. You’ve gotten taller, has your strength improved as well?” Keke asked as though he was an older brother. Using his full strength to pat Shao Xuan’s shoulder, his actions differed from that of Old Ke’s. When Old Ke was patting him, although Old Ke was excited, he controlled his strength, making sure he wouldn’t harm Shao Xuan. However, when Keke was patting him, Shao Xuan was forced to use his totem to bear the force or else he would’ve been injured.
Not waiting for Shao Xuan to respond, Keke continued, “Co on, you’ve finally co back, let see how much you’ve improved.”
Not being able to go out for a couple days, Keke’s hands had started itching for a fight. These days, he would always use the pretense of “training” to fight.
Tuo felt a headache coming on. As he prepared to pull Keke away, he didn’t expect to hear Shao Xuan agreeing.
What?
His eyes were wide open as he looked at Shao Xuan nodding; shouldn’t this youngster be declining? Could it be that he had forgotten that last ti Keke had broken his arm? He didn’t even hesitate in accepting!
In the tribe, it was known that as long as both sides agreed, it would be hard for others to interrupt. Sighing, Tuo could only step back and watch what happened.
And so, the three people moved to an open piece of land. That way, even if things got out of hand, not too many people would be affected.
“You first.” It was rare to see Keke act like a senior, but these past few years, this kind of behavior was beaten into him by Tuo and their team leader.
“Fine.” Shao Xuan didn’t have any objections.
While he ward up his legs, Shao Xuan decided to fight directly. Because he wasn’t trying to do a sneak attack he indicated that he was about to start.
Keke lifted up his chin, calmly standing still. He did not think that Shao Xuan had the ability to hurt him. Not only had he absorbed the fire crystals, but having also experienced countless hunts and becoming a interdiate totem warrior, his strength had far surpassed those at the mountain foot, he was confident this included Shao Xuan.
Today, his purpose was to see how much Shao Xuan had improved, and if his strength wasn’t bad, they could “properly discuss” things with Gui He and the other people who had co up with the list of 30 warriors to explore the new trail. It just so happened that one of the people on the list had been injured.
Just the thought of being able to clash with him strengthened Keke all over. Looking into Shao Xuan’s eyes, he tried to convey a sense of urgency; after Keke quickly dealt with him, he would find other people to cause trouble to.
Taking a deep breath, Shao Xuan’s legs suddenly stomped on the ground, resembling that of the ferocious beasts. The stone below his feet suddenly cracked, and with every stride, it brought more and more shattered rocks, causing the dust to rise up.
If his hunting group was watching, they’d realize that this wasn’t Shao Xuan’s normal style. While hunting, he would be hiding in the dark, waiting for the opportune mont to strike the fatal blow. Yet now, Shao Xuan was extrely straightforward, not planning on playing any tricks.
Directly eting with him, Keke started a bit. This child has the air of those ferocious beasts in the mountains, violent and direct.
Seeing him like this, Keke thought Shao Xuan shouldn’t be too far away from Lei, almost approaching the level of an interdiate warrior? Perhaps in one or two years, he could step across this boundary. No wonder why the shaman always looked at him favorably.
While Keke was deep in his thoughts, Shao Xuan finally brandished his fists towards him. Not even bothering to avoid him, Keke put his arms in front and directly blocked the punch.
With the collisions between fist and arm, a loud sound rang throughout the surroundings
Peng!
After colliding, Keke’s pupils shrank. He felt his arms burning with pain. Originally standing straight and steady, the hit made him waver for a bit, forcing his legs to take a step back.
Although he only retreated a bit, Tuo knew that Keke’s condition wasn’t good.
Not giving him enough ti to recover from his surprise, Shao Xuan pressed on. Due to the totem’s power, his arms expanded. Balling his fingers into a fist, he once again raised his arms and smashed towards Keke.
Peng!
From this collisions, Keke once again had to retreat back and stabilize his body. While moving back, his eyes were intently watching Shao Xuan.
How could he have changed so much?!
He tried to recall what had previously prompted the team leader to order him to probe this child.
Unable to rember, he hazily recalled that back then, Shao Xuan didn’t have this much strength. With a single fist, he was able to send Shao Xuan flying. When he wasn’t careful, he accidentally broke Shao Xuan’s arm…
Facing the increasingly quicker fists, Keke was so shocked he didn’t even rember to find a opportunity to fight back. He was still confident he could handle him; but how was this child so strong?
How could this be possible…..
Facing these barrages, with every hit, Keke would incessantly retreat back, withdrawing more and more as ti went by.
The stones cracking on the ground sounded like thunder roaring in the sky as countless bits and pieces flew up in the sky.
Peng! Ka cha!
Once again, sounds from the collisions between Shao Xuan’s fists rang out, and once again, Keke had to retreat back.
Watching from the sides, Tuo couldn’t believe what he was witnessing. Seeing Shao Xuan repeatedly knock Keke away, Tuo took a big gulp.
But also, the sound from the most recent strike was…..
Could it be? Tuo felt his head becoming dizzy.
Catching his breath, Shao Xuan stood still, watching the beat up Keke. Then moving his shoulder, he once more resud his onslaught, the loud cracking of bones resounding.
Shao Xuan’s muscles were faintly throbbing after dealing so many rapid strikes to a interdiate totem warrior. Yet he still felt he had boundless strength radiating out. Compared to before, where he was imdiately suppressed, this feeling was much better.
And there, lying down was Keke, mumbling incoherent words. Keke felt his legs twitching, but even worse was that his arms, without a doubt, were broken.
Throughout the fight and while getting injured, Keke had an expression of disbelief. However, Keke quickly ca back to his senses and turned towards Shao Xuan, who was planning on leaving. Hurriedly, he voiced, “Ai, wait wait, Ah Xuan, wait a few days for to heal my injuries, I’ll co and look for you and we’ll fight again!”
Shao Xuan didn’t turn back. Waving his hand, he continued up the mountain.
Standing out of view, not far from where Shao Xuan and Keke had fought, Lei’s expressions turned gloomy.
Originally, the spot in the 30 man group to explore the new route was given to Shao Xuan by the Shaman, but since he hadn’t returned, Lei’s grandpa managed to steal it over him.
And now that Shao Xuan had returned, it seems that he’s going to visit the Shaman. Could it be that he was going to steal the spot back?
No, absolutely not!
However, after seeing Shao Xuan and Keke’s exchange, could he overco him?
While deep in thought, Lei ran back, planning to tell his grandpa everything.
