Chapter 106 – It turned out to be an option!

Translated by Sunyancai

The whistle went afar in the snow and wind.

At Shao Xuan’s whistle, many people looked curious and confused, for they had no idea why Shao Xuan was doing that. However, some other kids seemed to have thought of something, and they looked up in the sky with stunned faces.

“Ah!”

The twins shouted excitedly, for they had already guessed Shao Xuan’s way of solving this problem. They stared at the sky, and even the falling snow did not stop them from keeping their eyes wide open, for they were afraid of missing any details.

“What the hell is going on?” Meng asked the other kids behind him.

“That eagle……”

Meng looked up in the sky, along the same direction that his companions were pointing at.

A little black dot appeared in the sky, and soon, the small dot became bigger and bigger. Even the big flying flakes could not hide its body as it was flew closer.

“It’s Chacha! Chacha!” The twins were so excited that they wanted to jump up high. They knew Shao Xuan well, so they were familiar with Chacha.

However, the others had different opinions.

For many people in the tribe, Chacha was in the same position as Caesar. They were only surviving in the tribe because the Shaman allowed them to be kept within the tribe. Many would even think that animals like Caesar and Chacha had already lost their qualification of being a prey, because they didn’t have the ferocious nature like the animals in the wild anymore. People did not see them as ferocious beasts any more. Even without the Shaman’s blessing, they would not try to hunt Caesar and Chacha down, for that was no challenge.

Like most of the totem warriors, they felt that hunting meant the pursuit of extreme strength. Hunting down more ferocious beasts always brought more excitement and meaning. An animal that had lost its ferocious nature was useless for them.

Normally, they would often see that eagle flying around in the sky. However, never had they thought about what this eagle would do eventually.

They were not stupid, but the traditional thoughts and views had already trapped them in the ancient philosophy for centuries. Of course they would not think about other uses of animals, including the twins.

Chacha hovered above in the sky, but without flying down to land.

Shao Xuan made a gesture with his hand, and people saw that eagle in the sky flying towards Shao Xuan.

“From that far away…the bird could literally see Shao Xuan waving his hand?!” Someone whispered in the crowd.

“My dad once said that eagles could see a rabbit from afar…” Said another kid.

“That’s so cool!!”

“So it can also see the dangers and risks from afar? If so, my dad wouldn’t have to risk his life in the hunting missions anymore.” Someone said in a low voice.

The whispering stopped suddenly at that sentence.

Yes…If it could see the dangers afar and alert people in advance… Perhaps some unnecessary risks could be avoided when people were in the wild, hunting.

Everyone was thinking like that.

However, they still did not think that a beast could do such a thing. Animals were animals. They could not talk like people do, and even a eagle was merely a bird that could fly.

Whoosh!

A black shadow swept over in a flash, and even the snowflakes around them were pushed away.

People looked over to its direction.

Flapping his wings, Chacha landed on Shao Xuan’s arm steadily.

There were many people around, but Chacha was not timid at all. His eagle eyes looked around the crowd, and then he began to peck on his feathers, as if there was nobody around.

Shao Xuan lowered his arm so that the twins could have a good talk with Chacha.

“Chacha, please help me put this on the top branch! That tree, yes. There are branches on its top. Any branch could do the trick…” Yang and Guang took out their stone name plates and talked to Chacha.

The stone plates were not big, only half the size of a kid’s palm, and there was a little hole pierced on top of the stone plate, so that a leather rope could go through the hole. Most of the kids in the upper half of the mountain had similar stone plates. Some were prepared before they were even born, and some were prepared after their birth. Many people wouldn’t even be using this kind of stone plates, they would make one for their kids, seeing that other kids had them.

The stone plates were all made from fine or excellent stone cores, and the leather rope was made from the skin of ferocious beasts, so it won’t break easily.

As Yang and Guang were talking to Chacha, the others kept staring at them. Most people did not believe that an animal could understand human words. Seeing that the twins were talking to Chacha like that, they looked astonished.

“Can it understand them?”

“Many beasts in the forests are clever.”

“But even if it could understand the meaning, would it do such a thing accordingly?”

“I guess not…My dad said that birds in the forests are all fierce! How would it listen to our words and do as we say?”

As some kids were sharing their knowledge about the birds, and eagles in particular, they looked up and saw the twins touching that eagle with their hands. Everyone became silent, but kept staring at them.

Chacha was a little annoyed, for the twins touched him every time.

Seeing Chacha pecking on the hands of the twins, people’s hearts all got pulled up. Even Meng and some young totem warriors standing aside kept staring at the twins. Of course, those who had hunting experiences had a better understanding of the ferocious birds.

The one who got kicked by Ah-Guang smirked in his heart. See? You got pecked! It’s said that one peck of an eagle would cause severe injury!

However, to everyone’s surprise, the twins got pecked on the hands, but their hands remained unscratched.

Sure enough, the bird was being kept for too long, and now it did not know how to peck the others! Its soft peak was no longer like those birds in the forests. Some people seemed to be disdain seeing that. Until someone at Mao’s side approached Chacha with a long wooden stick. He wanted to touch the bird as well, but dared not to do so with his own hand. In the end, he decided to use a wood stick.

However, before the wooden stick could get any nearer, Chacha flapped his wings and pecked hard on the stick.

Duh!

The guy’s hand that was holding the wooden stick felt a little numb. If you looked at the wooden stick, you’d find that a hole had appeared on it. If the stick hadn’t been that thick, it would’ve just been pierced through by Chacha.

Now, no one dared to say anything.

If anyone still had questions, he may test Chacha with his own hands. However, no one was that idiotic to do it.

Chacha wanted to wave his claws towards that boy with the wooden stick, but was stopped by Shao Xuan.

“Whoever approaches without a permission will get attacked.” Said Shao Xuan.

Then, the twins had finished talking with Chacha, and they presented their stone name plates to Chacha. The two stone plates were placed on top of each other, and a leather rope went through both of them.

“If you help us with this, I’ll ask for good meat from dad just for you, Chacha!” Said Ah-Guang.

“Go.” Shao Xuan raised his arm.

Chacha flapped his wings, and moved his feet. He grabbed the twins’ stone plates at the moment of flying up. In the blink of an eye, he was flying up into the sky.

Shao Xuan had done tons of similar trainings with Chacha, and some of the tasks were even more difficult. So, hanging the twins’ name plates on the branches was just a piece of cake to Chacha. Shao Xuan was not worried at all.

Down at the training place, people watched the flying eagle, heading towards the stone tree. Just as people were wondering when it was going to slow down, and what this bird would do when it got close to the trunk, Chacha did now slow down at all. Like a gust of wind, Chacha flew by a branch at the top.

Many people did not see Chacha’s moves clearly. In their eyes, the eagle was just sweeping by the top of the tree, doing nothing else.

“It did not do as commanded.” Someone said. He was saying it as if it was meant to be so, but still, there were traces of disappointment in his tone.

“No, the bird did it! The nameplates are already on there.” The one standing behind Meng said.

Unlike normal kids that had not been awakened, totem warriors had much better sight.

At the end of the sentence, people heard a slight sound of Ding from the top of the stone tree. It was the sound of the stone plates hitting the layer of ice at the top.

When the stone plates were hanging at the top, they would slip down along the tip of the branch. In such a weather, the leather ropes would soon be covered by layers of ice. So, no matter how strong the wind might be, the stone plates won’t fall. When at the end of the season the ice layer would melt down, there would be a lot of gray leaves on the tips of the branches, which would also block the stone plates from being blown down by the wind. Unless someone climbed up and fetched the stone plates, normally, no matter how strong the wind was, the stone plates would not get blown off.

Meng was having a really complicated facial expression.

They used this way to complete the task! It turned out to be an option!

It did not break the rule either.

They had never thought about the possibility of that. In their minds, all animals, especially ferocious beasts, were only to be killed and eaten. The whole time, they were on opposite sides of humans.

Why would an animal behave like that? Caesar did so, and now the eagle did it too?

Everyone in the training place thought of something as they saw the eagle returning to Shao Xuan’s arm.

Just when they could not manage to do it, or just when they could not do it perfectly no matter how hard they tried, now Shao Xuan provided a new option!
