The night was fairly peaceful. A few beasts passed silently under the tree. They probably smelled the blood on Caesar's body and glanced up at the tree, but they didn't make any threats and swaggered away. .
In the tree hole on the trunk, the tree worm never came out again, and even when a flying insect flew to the tree hole, it no longer stuck out its head and opened its mouth.
Shao Xuan guessed that it might be the reason why the secret engraving technique was performed just now. Just like when the ceremony was held in the tribe, other animals also avoided it. Even if there is no flame extension of the fire, it may not be a coincidence that there are no beasts and beasts attacking.
Even so, Shao Xuan didn't dare to be sloppy and stayed there all night.
In the early morning, the two moons gradually disappeared in the rising sun.
The birds in the trees have long been chirping.
When the sun shone through the gaps between the leaves, the bird's nest above Shao Xuan's head had long since disappeared.
The wound on Caesar's body has stopped bleeding, and the wound where he was bitten has scabbed over. It looks a little scary, but it is actually much better.
Caesar, who was lying on the branch, was breathing steadily, and he had not woken up. Listening to the gradually strong breathing, Shao Xuan also temporarily relieved his heart. He also checked the broken bones in Caesar's body, and now they have fully recovered, and there are no traces of fractures.
Is this the benefit of the engraving secret technique
Shao Xuan waited on the tree for a while and listened carefully. He heard the sound of the wooden whistle, and the people from the hunting team came to him. He quickly took out the wooden whistle he had brought, and blew it a few times according to the rhythm, which sounded like the chirping of birds in the woods.
It didn't take long for Mai to find someone with him.
"A Xuan!"
Seeing Shao Xuan standing on a tree, Mai also let go of the heart he had been holding.
Mai was startled when he saw Caesar lying there.
"How can it be hurt like this..." Before he could finish speaking, Mai was stunned.
its not right!
"This... this is... "
Mai pointed to Caesar lying there, stammering as he spoke, his eyes full of disbelief.
"This is... Caesar?" Lang Ga leaned forward and took a closer look. "It didn't seem that big yesterday. Why do I feel like I've grown up after I haven't seen it overnight?"
The few people who came with Mai also nodded, and their eyes kept swiping at Caesar.
"It was injured yesterday and has changed a little." Shao Xuan said.
"It's not just a little change." Lang Ga muttered.
However, now is not the time to struggle, just leave here and go back to the cave.
Mai didn't go back all night with the people. A few people spent the night outside, and they must not have been able to fall asleep. They stayed vigilant all night, and continued to search when it was dawn.
Seeing the obvious exhaustion on their faces, Shao Xuan felt very sorry.
"Sorry." Shao Xuan said.
Mai waved his hand, "Let's go back first."
Although he really wanted to beat Shao Xuan here, the top priority was to go back first, and probably no one who was waiting in the cave had closed their eyes.
Because Caesar hadn't woken up yet, Shao Xuan used the stretcher from yesterday to slowly lower Caesar from the tree.
Yesterday I used a good stretcher, but today I put Caesar in it, but the stretcher seems to be much smaller, with most of its head and tail hanging on the edge of the stretcher.
Mai and the others responded below, and after the stretcher was put down, he said, "It's a lot heavier."
"I'm getting bigger and thinner." A middle-aged man next to Mai whispered.
Caesar was usually raised very well. Even if he followed hunting, he never lost weight, unlike some beasts in the mountains who often go hungry and eat this beast. But now, Caesar looks like a skinny, a little scary.
With the help of Mai and several others, Shao Xuan was also a lot easier, he directly carried the stretcher and carried Caesar back.
In the cave of the first stronghold, other people didn't sleep well, and Qiao waited at the entrance of the cave all night, and everyone was very anxious. Seeing that Mai and Shao Xuan were both back, and there were not many people, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally come back safely." Qiao looked at the few people who came back, and then took a closer look at Shao Xuan. Seeing that Shao Xuan was not injured, a smile appeared on his face.
"I'm sorry for making everyone worry." Shao Xuan said. It was indeed his fault for leaving the team without authorization.
"Just come back safely." Qiao was about to ask what happened yesterday, her eyes stopped on the stretcher that was brought back, her first reaction was that something happened to Caesar, and her second reaction was, Hey, something is wrong!
"Go in and talk." Mai carried the stretcher back to the hole.
Shao Xuan placed Caesar in place, and then asked someone to ask for some medicine for trauma, and put it on for Caesar.
When changing the dressing, Shao Xuan briefly told everyone what happened after he left.
The people around were taken aback for a while, especially Lang Ga.
After swallowing his saliva, Lang Ga couldn't believe it, "Trap belt? Caesar led the wolves to the trap belt?!"
It's not that he regretted the traps that he rarely set up, but he was shocked that Caesar was able to do it to such an extent that he would use the traps to trick his opponents!
"More than that, there's the asphalt pit." Ang, who was standing next to Lang Ga, couldn't help scratching his arm, always feeling the hairs on his arm tremble, panicking.
Since hunting, they have always believed that only humans can use traps to trap wild beasts and beasts. However, it turns out that beasts can also use traps and natural environmental factors to trap opponents. If it was before, they would never have imagined.
"Then Caesar is like this..."
"It has mutated." Shao Xuan said.
To a certain extent, this change of Caesar is indeed a mutation.
"Variation?" Lang Ga didn't quite understand the word.
"That is to say, Caesar may change from a beast to a level closer to a beast, or even become a beast directly." Shao Xuan explained simply and bluntly.
The chins of the surrounding people almost hit the ground.
A beast in the team was enough for them to discuss for a long time, and now Shao Xuan told them that the beast had become a fierce beast.
That is a beast!
This level has taken a big step forward.
Are they going to hunt with beasts in the future
Listen... so nervous, but also oddly excited.
"I can't tell right now, wait until Caesar wakes up and take a look." Shao Xuan said.
"Okay, I guess everyone didn't rest well yesterday. Let's rest today and go out hunting tomorrow." Mai said.
Shao Xuan lay down beside Caesar, leaning against the wall of the cave, and when everyone was not paying attention, he took out the fire crystal that Wu gave him from the animal skin bag.
Last night, I spent a lot of totem power in order to use the engraving secret technique. When engraving, I had to maintain a high concentration of mental power. After the engraving was completed, I had to continue to be vigilant. I was too tired at the time, so Shao Xuan grabbed the fire crystal and used the fire. Crystal to add some energy.
The original fiery red Huojing was lighter in color and was not obvious, but Shao Xuan could see it.
Just this insignificant change, the energy emitted by the fire crystal is enough for at least three people to absorb it.
Unexpectedly, it consumes so much energy unknowingly.
Engraving the secret technique is an energy-intensive job, and you will have to be more cautious in the future.
While Shao Xuan and the others were resting in the cave, Mai did not fall asleep immediately, and led a few people to the trap zone.
There are indeed several corpses of wolves in the trap belt, but they have been eaten by other beasts and scavengers, and most of them are only a bloody skeleton. Attracted to come, naturally will not keep a complete corpse.
"It's really..." Qiao opened her eyes and carefully checked several traps that had already been driven.
"A Xuan didn't lie."
"Well, Caesar... I really understand."
Not only the Buckwheat couple, but also the other people who came along with them. At the same time, they remembered the cubs who are now in the tribe. If they become like Caesar in the future...
"Mai, that will be a great help!" Qiao said.
"A boost that could change the hunting party!"
Everyone is still a little worried, if those cubs grow up in the future, will it be detrimental to the tribe? However, after thinking about it, since Wu Du agreed, it is naturally a good thing.
Everyone's thinking is very simple, even if there are more other ideas in their hearts, but Wu said that this can be done, then it is absolutely correct.
Well, just believe in witches!
After they figured it out, Mai and the others felt much more relaxed. The others even urged Mai to catch two of the Sunshine brothers and sisters, and let Shao Xuan help them in the future.
Mai did not say good, nor did he say bad.
At night, everyone gathered around the fire to discuss the cubs in the future tribe.
Suddenly, Caesar, who was lying next to Shao Xuan, moved.
Lang Ga, who was closest to Shao Xuan, also noticed it and immediately leaned over.
"Hey, Caesar is waking up?"
Just as he was about to step forward to take a closer look, as soon as he lowered his head, Lang Ga met the wolf eyes opened by Caesar, and his movements were stagnant.
Lang Ga felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. The chill behind him only rushed to his forehead. His muscles tightened, the smile on his face instantly stiffened, and the tendons on his arms protruded. .
With evil, cruel, cold eyes. Such eyes, Lang Ga can see every day in the mountains and forests.
"What's wrong?" Others gathered around.
Lang Ga opened his mouth and was about to keep everyone away, but soon, he found that the emotion in those eyes had changed and became much softer, and when he looked at it again, he found that it was still the familiar wolf eyes.
It's Caesar.
Not a beast in the forest.
Seeing Shao Xuan stepping up to check Caesar's wound, Lang Ga moved his cold hands and smiled, "It's nothing, Caesar is awake."
After waking up, Caesar stood up slowly and moved around in the cave.
"Why do I feel that I get nervous every time Caesar approaches?" Tu said to the person next to him.
"I... I also... Yes." Stutter also said.
There was still meat in the cave, and Shao Xuan cut some and gave it to Caesar.
After waking up, Caesar's appetite increased a lot. He ate half a deer, but he was still not full. However, there was not much food in the cave, and it did not continue.
The next day, the hunting team set off to continue hunting. The skinny Caesar set off with the hunting party.
"Don't let it rest for a few more days?" Mai asked Shao Xuan.
"No, it's fine."
Seeing that Caesar was walking around, Mai was not holding on, not reluctantly, but looking forward to it. He wished he could rush into the woods for a lap right now, and he didn't object.
The group of wolves was not seen around the bighorn deer, so the hunting team planned to hunt a few more deer.
Drive away the deer, and watch out for the deer that stray from the herd.
"That one!" Lang Ga was about to ask Caesar to drive the deer here, when he saw a dark gray shadow flashing past, rushing towards the big-horned deer that had broken away from the herd.
Bang!
The big horned deer fell out with the dark gray shadow.
When he looked again, he found that the horned deer had fallen to the ground, and Caesar was biting the neck of the horned deer.
