"Night you have to think big. Not just fire or catching rabbits, in the future we might be able to eat anything in the forest. Other beasts will fear us."
Edward laughed out loud.
Even though Edward was doing baseless boasting but it was still good to have a goal and dream.
"The entire forest? Is that even possible?" Night suddenly showed a shocked look on her face. It was understandable, the forest held a lot of beasts that were at the pinnacle of the food chain. There were many beasts human were meant to fear in this era and just imaging about hunting them was a farfetched idea for her.
There was no way he could prove anything now so he just shook his head and asked Night to lead the way towards the tribe.
Following alongside Night, the two walked in the forest with a shallow foot. Night remained silent but her eyes were checking their surroundings as she held a look of vigilance.
After about two hours,
The breathless Edward sat down on a fallen dead tree.
"Night, let's take a break, I am really tired." He wiped some sweat on his forehead. The forest seemed to be endless, and he couldn't walk anymore. He wasn't simply used to walking this much barefoot.
"Light, this is not the territory of our tribe, we have to leave here quickly." Night looked worried.
'Since it is the territory of other tribes, why is she so far away from her tribe then?'
Edward was not clear, so he shook his head and had to stand up and prepare to go back on their path.
No one was sure when but the moment his butt left the dead tree, he heard a rustling sound from the surrounding trees. Soon there were more than a dozen shadows scattered around with animal skins wrapped around their waist. Savage people appeared with big sticks and stone spears in hand.
"Titan! ... RUN!" Night screamed out.
Edward could clearly see that the moment Night saw these people, she was scared.
Seeing this scene, Edward was stunned. He couldn't figure out the situation he was placed in.
The leading man had a big waist, a savage with the height of 1.85 meters, a face full of flesh. He placed the stick he held over his shoulder while licking his lips on a face that was sneering.
"Run? You think you can run out from my hand? Hahaha...."
The next few savvy primitives also laughed. Edward eyes accidently wandered down towards the leader's waist, almost causing him to scream.
'WHAT? What fierce aura, what fierce… younger brother. Is that a tree trunk or a tree log? He doesn't even need a weapon to kill me!'
For humans of prehistoric era, life was without farming and writing, modern people can only use imagination to fill what they mostly did. Most people, including Edward, would imagine the scene: a caveman holding a wooden club while dragging away a half-conscious woman using her hair.
But to actually be seeing something like that going to happen with his own eyes was immensely shocking to him. His eyes were wide as saucers.
Night held a desperate expression on her face as she tried to turn and run away but immediately a few people dispersed to surround her retreat.
"Night….ah…who are they?" Edward ask as he started to get nervous.
Before Night had the chance to answer, Titan, the leading savage replied:
"Hey, who is this waste? How have I never seen you before?"
At this moment, the wild savage named Titan noticed Edward, who did not seem to have looked at him before.
In contrast, the 1.75 meter, physically thin Edward, standing amongst these primitive wild people full of muscles all over their body appeared really weak.
"Titan is the leader of the forest tribe. I escaped from his hand this morning." The fear evident in Night's eyes.
This era was an era that followed the law of the jungle, without any order or morality.
It seemed that the beauty of the Night was seen by this brute. He only needed to use a big stick to threaten and rape on the spot. Primitive humans had no concept of rape. For them, mating was done immediate and on the spot.
'Is this cultural shock? Right? RIGHT? I'm not the one crazy here right? What the fuck is going on here. I can't just stand here to witness something like this!'
With the powerful logic of modern men, in an instant, Edward judged the terrible things that were about to happen.
But he couldn't let it happen! His modern sense of morality screamed in his mind.
'What do I do? What can I even do? Fight hard or run fast? Don't do either and half ass it? Sacrifice myself and allow Night to escape? I'll only be a burden to her.'
Dozens of ideas were clogging his mind but there was only one thing common…. He had to save her!
The neurons in his brains were working hard as series of rapid ideas came to resolve the immediate crisis.
"This is the last time! I won't let you escape this time!"
Titan's nostrils flared out in anger.
In addition, the eight or nine people surrounding them, each held a stick in their right hand. Each of them had a smirk on their face as if enjoying the show.
The encirclement became smaller and smaller, and they did not have any possibility of escaping.
Edward knew he was fucked.
