Bölüm 52: Üçü de

"Ne... o da ne?" Lang Ga grabbed the long spear in his hands tightly and asked in a shaky voice, as he pointed at it with a shaky finger.

Ang and the others also swallowed down their saliva, waiting for Shao Xuan’s answer. Although they could guess what it was, the guess appeared to be too unbelievable to be true. They could not believe in their guess, and some of them even wondered if it was just a dream.

Yesterday, when they saw the chaos in that cave, many of them had prepared to face the fact that they might never see those two kids again. It was a sleepless night as they had been searching all night. At first they could see some traces of them, for example the items that they lost along the way. Ancak karlı bölgeye girdikten sonra daha fazla ayak izi bulmaları neredeyse imkansız hale geldi ve geri kalanlar şansa güvendiler.

While searching, they had long gone beyond their hunting area. They had met with another hunting group, and the other hunting group joined the search. But the longer it took, the heavier their heart grew. In this forest, it was difficult for cubs to stay alive. O zamanlar insanlar ve hayvanlar aynıydı.

Şimdi, Mao ve Shao Xuan'ın ikisinin de iyi olduğunu gören Lang Ga ve diğerleri elbette mutluydular, çünkü bu zaten beklentilerinin çok ötesindeydi. Only few people could escape from a Thorn Black Wind. However, with the big guy lying there, facing the ground, it was like their wildest dream!

"Gerçekten öldü mü?"

“With the big hole in its head, and so much blood coming out of there, it should be dead, right?”

After poking it for a few times with the long spear, Lang Ga and the others became bolder. Mao'nun önceki davranışı gibi, artık Shao Xuan ve Mao'ya artık dikkat etmiyorlardı; hepsi Diken Kara Rüzgar'ın cesedinin etrafında dönüp şaşkınlıklarını göstermek için bir işaret olarak onu dürtüklüyorlardı.

“It’s the one from last time! Look at its tail, there’s still a wound.”

"Hey, kalın deriye ve dikenlere bak... Ah, kırılamaz! İşte Ah-Xuan, taş mızrağımı tut... Onu kıramayacağıma inanmıyorum..."

“The thorns are so hard…If Mai had chopped at the layer of thorns, perhaps its tail wouldn’t have been injured so badly…”

"Hey, pençesine bak! Ne kadar keskin... Vay be..."

“…”

Standing on the side, Shao Xuan got a headache watching these people’s behavior…

A minute ago people were shedding tears on that warm reunion, and one minute later, he and Mao were ignored.

Luckily, Lang Ga still remembered to notify the other warriors down the mountain, and sent a message with that whistle. Başlangıçta Shao Xuan ve Mao'yu diğerleriyle buluşmak için dağdan aşağı götürmeyi planladılar, ancak ölü Diken Kara Rüzgar'ın varlığıyla fikirlerini değiştirdiler ve diğerlerini buraya gelmeleri için çağırdılar. It would be such a waste to just leave the beast to rot here. The warriors would all be pepped up if they carried it back.

The competition between the two hunting teams was quite intense, so every time when they returned, they would brag about their prey. It would be so cool if they could bring back this big ferocious beast.

When Mai and the others arrived, Lang Ga was holding one of the Thorn Black Wind’s big claws in his arms, touching it constantly.

Similar to the others who met the Thorn Black Wind earlier, these people also had their eyes wide open, and were dumbstruck. Later, just as Shao Xuan’s predicted, they too circled around the body immediately.

"Yaralandın mı?" Mai oldukça rahatlamış bir şekilde Shao Xuan ve Mao'nun yanına geldi.

"Ben iyiyim." Shao Xuan moved his arms and legs, and jumped for a few times. In fact, he had broken a few ribs and an arm last night, but fortunately it was not severe and now he had recovered mostly already. Muhtemelen totemik güç yüzündendi.

After confirming that Shao Xuan and Mao were really fine, Mai finally relieved himself from the stress and pressure.

Since everyone was asking about their encounter, Shao Xuan briefly explained what had happened last night.

Mao kenardan ekleme yapıyordu. He had not completely calmed down before yet, but as they at last were picked up by the group, he finally let loose and became more talkative. So Mao bragged about his experience to the crowd ceaselessly.
Shao Xuan did not tell the others the fact that he could see skeletons, and all he claimed was he had better sight at night than the others. Besides, from start to finish, a large part of it was thanks to luck.

Warriors of the other hunting group also came here with Mai. Shao Xuan'ın hikayesini dinledikten sonra iç çektiler, "Dün gece dağdaki gürültünün sorumlusunun siz olduğunuz ortaya çıktı!"

Last night, people from the other hunting team also heard the rumbling noise up in the mountain. It was just that they were far away from the sound so they did not worry about being influenced by the avalanche. Also, they did not plan to come to search the region, for basically no one would survive from such enormous momentum.

Diğer av grubunun lideri Mai'ye kıskançlıkla baktı çünkü Zafer Yolu'na döndüklerinde karşılaşacakları büyük karşılamayı önceden tahmin etmişti.

It was absurd for them to just leave the Thorn Black Wind here. Like other prey, they planned to dissect it first.

Av takımlarında kurallara göre. Shao Xuan should lead the dissection, for it was his prey. However, Shao Xuan now did not have the strength to do so yet, for the layer of scale of Thorn Black Wind was too thick to cut. Even though there were no scales in its stomach, it was too difficult for Shao Xuan to control the knife. So, under Mai and some other warriors’ guidance, Shao Xuan made a few cuts and Mai took it from there.

Av, savaşçıların ortak çabasıyla bastırılırsa, kesilen organlar av grubunun lideri tarafından dağıtılmalı ve herkes kendi payına düşeni almalıdır. As for how people would like to trade with each other, it would be their own business. Beside from the organs, the meat would be distributed later when they get back.

But now, the Thorn Black Wind was hunted down by Shao Xuan and Mao. Even if it was more of a thing of luck, it was their prey. So all the guts belonged to Shao Xuan and Mao, while the others had to trade for it if they wanted any.

Mai ve diğeri, tüm cesaretlerini ortaya çıkardıktan sonra diğer av grubuna veda ettiler ve ortak güçle Diken Kara Rüzgar'ı geri çekmeye başladılar.

There was a giant cave excavated near the mountaintop, where the hunting group went to yesterday. Inside the giant cave was a lot of processed game stored, for it was colder there, and the meat could be stored for a longer time. Besides, high level game like the four-fanged wild boar and the Thorn Black Wind would decay more slowly. That was also a reason why totemic warriors preferred to hunt for high level game.

Because of that, each location would have at least two caves. One was for resting, which was located near the mountainside or someplace warmer and concealed. The other was built to store food, and it would be located near the mountain top that was covered with snow all year long. After all, it would take about twenty days for each hunting trip.

Diken Kara Rüzgar'ı yiyecek depolayan mağaraya götürdükten sonra insanlar dağın yamacına yöneldiler çünkü Mai dinlenmek için başka bir mağara bulmak istiyordu. Sahip oldukları artık kullanılamıyordu.

"Mai! Ah-Xuan! Sonunda geri döndün!" The five people staying at the former cave were thrilled to see Shao Xuan and Mao coming back, safe and sound. Ancak rapor edecekleri başka şeyler vardı.

"Dün siz gittikten sonra dağdan aşağı Diken Kara Rüzgârların uğultusunu duyduk. İkisi! Ne olduğuna bakmak için yaklaştım ve bizi daha önce durduran ikisinin birbirleriyle kavga ettiklerini gördüm! Yaklaşma fırsatım olmadı ve bir süre gözlemledikten sonra geri döndüm."

Mai bir süre düşündü. He commanded the others to stay at the cave for now, and took some mid-level totemic warriors to head down to check it out first.

When Shao Xuan had finished eating some roasted meat, Mai came back hurriedly, with joyful expression on his face. Diğerlerinden aşağıya gelip yardım etmelerini istedi.

It turned out that the two Thorn Black Winds fought brutally over the control of the territory. One was defeated and had been nearly ripped apart with only skeleton remaining. The other one was badly injured, with quite a few parts revealing the bones, and one of its hind legs was almost broken.
When Mai took the people there, that Thorn Black Wind who won was resting in the forest. Göl savaş alanından biraz uzaktaydı. Since it was badly injured, it probably planned to rest in the woods for a few days, before it would enter the lake.

Unexpectedly, Mai and the others took advantage of its injuries and killed it directly.

“Do you think that the first one knew that these two would have such a bloody fight when it asked for their help?” Lang Ga sordu.

Shao Xuan da aynı soruyu düşünüyordu. Perhaps that one did know what would happen when it sacrificed its territory to ask for help. Eğer işler yolunda giderse, av grubundaki çocukları öldürebilir ve ardından ikisinin dağın aşağısında birbirleriyle ölümüne dövüşmesini sabırla bekleyebilirdi. When one was defeated and the other was weak, it would go back and take back its territory. Hence, it could not only get its revenge, it might be able to expand its land by having the other two killed.

No one knew the truth, for all three of them were dead and their bodies were dragged to the food-storing cave by the hunting group.
