The two continued on their way.
Night walked a little behind, and she looked at Edward a few times, who was now using both crutches to walk.
According to the aesthetic standards of modern people, Edward was considered to be well-proportioned, but in the primitive society, his figure was thin and weak, whether it was from the perspective of reproduction or the ability to obtain prey, in the eyes of the opposite sex, he was not the best choice.
Finally, she rushed a few steps forward and stood next to Edward with a slight worry on her face:
"Light, do you have a way to win against Titan?"
Edward did not answer directly, instead shifted the topic in another direction:
"Night, Titan, and your people, how do you usually hunt?"
"... Most of the time, you can't hit big beasts. You eat the leftovers left by the wolf and the tigers or leopards. Sometimes you are lucky and can get a lucky shot with your stone spear. But it is always followed by a lot of people dying. Sometimes a hunt of a single big animal might take several days."
'Hmmmm. I did saw Titan's rough weapons and thought they were really too blunt for spears but they actually are really blunt tipped. Even then they can match the strength of a beast and survive in the wilderness. Prehistoric people really had it rough but atleast they had their strong physical strength to survive.'
"Night, the obsidian knife that you have, is it not sharp? Why don't you use this thing to make spears for your people?"
"Light, this obsidian knife was left to me by my mother. At that time my brother was still young .... The whole tribe has only one such thing. Usually I don't use it."
Edward thoughtfully asked,
"Right, by the way, is that Titan really strong? Strong enough to hunt a saber-toothed tiger?"
He used to watch a documentary about prehistoric animals. The saber-toothed tiger was a terrible prehistoric beast. It was about 800 kilograms in weight and two or three times as big compared to modern tigers. Their teeth were as sharp as two short swords.... In prehistoric times, saber-toothed tigers were almost at the top of the food chain, and it was a nightmare for all animals, including humans.
'Can Titan really hunt a saber-toothed tiger?'
"Light, there has been rumors that he can but no one has ever seen him. I….my mother was killed by once such tiger. They are not that easy to find and even more difficult to actually hunt."
"Your mother? I apologize to make you remember something like that."
Night was silent, and Edward saw the sadness that was etched on her beautiful face. He knew it was not good to ask anything more on the topic.
They finally walked out of the forest and entered a mountain range.
There was a cave on the high slope not far away. Below the cave was a large flat land. They followed a winding path to go up.
By now, the people of the cave had already discovered them. Three people from the direction of the cave ran out to meet them, two men and one woman.
They saw Night and were very happy. But as soon as they saw Edward, they had uneasy look in their eyes.
"Sister....sister, you .... you are finally back? Look....it doesn't look like Titan... you are alright... right, this person is... Who is he?"
A teenager, about sixteen or seventeen years old, stuttered a little while talking. He had the standard savage appearance with unkempt hair, a stone axe on his waist and a stone spear in his hand. The other boy who followed along was of similar age and slightly taller compared to others also had a stone spear and a stone axe. Both were wearing animal skin around their waist.
"He is Light. He got separated from his tribe who live very far away. I decided to bring him along."
Night introduced him to the present audience.
At this moment, Edward still had swollen eyes while there was some dried blood around his nose. Rest of his body didn't appeared any better with bruises and dirt all over it.
Edward could guess the stuttering boy who referred to Night as sister must be her brother Night mentioned previously while the other two must be her friends. He nodded towards the three people present.
"Night sister, you have not asked the Chief for permission, and suddenly took in strangers, this is something that has never happened before?" The lone woman in the group finally spoke out. She was also a woman of beauty who was wrapped in a short animal skin both at her waist and her chest. She eyed Edward strangely.
