"Where... am I?"
Enzo slowly opened his eyes, feeling himself entwined by a mix of earthy scent and a distinct fragrance that quickly jolted him awake.
Glancing to the side, he found himself met by the gaze of a girl.
With her short, dark brown hair, sun-kissed skin, and a feline-like pair of amber eyes, she held a captivating presence.
Most notably, the girl was completely unclothed, her lithe yet powerful legs wrapped around his waist, while her plush curves pressed against his arm, offering a soft sensation.
As the woman sat up, she spoke a language unfamiliar to Enzo, yet one he could understand, "You are my prey. Do not resist."
Resist...what? It quickly dawned on Enzo.
The girl, akin to a wild feline, proceeded to tear his clothes off.
However, when she encountered difficulty with his trousers, she seemed unaware that she only needed to loosen the cord fastened around them. Instead, she bent down, parting her lips, attempting to shred the fabric with her teeth.
"Stop!" Enzo urgently exclaimed, reaching out to pull the girl away, only to find that he couldn't budge her.
Damn!
This sun-kissed girl possessed far more strength than he anticipated.
Fortunately, the fabric of his trousers held up, and after a brief struggle, the girl gave up, resting her hands on her hips as she commanded Enzo from above. "I order you to remove your trousers!"
"My dear, we are only just meeting for the first time," Enzo said delicately.
The girl blinked, pondered for a moment, and then arrogantly declared, "You are the prey I brought back from the jungle! According to the tribe's rules, you belong to me, and I have complete authority over you. Now, I want you to undress and join me in propagating our offspring!"
Tribe!
Enzo seized the crucial point.
It was only then that he realized he was in a cave, with the ground covered in simply processed animal fur, and several pieces of bones from some kind of fierce beast piled up nearby. Furthermore, the girl's clothes were made of animal hide.
Absurd thoughts floated through Enzo's mind.
Did I... travel through time?
He remembered very clearly that he had participated in an outdoor survival activity, preparing to hunt a deer on the edge of a cliff, only to be pushed down the mountain by the deer...
Upon waking up, he found himself here.
Damned deer!
Enzo cursed in his heart, then noticed the abnormality.
The girl with amber eyes finally discovered the secret of the trousers, gently pulled the cord, and as soon as the trousers loosened, she eagerly uncovered Enzo's already erect manhood, without any foreplay, and took a seat without delay.
A moist, tender sensation engulfed his body.
Though he did not want to admit it, this was the fact: Enzo had been forcefully taken by the girl.
Unable to resist, he could only indulge.
Compared to Enzo from later generations, the amber eyed girl had very limited experience. Enzo easily took the initiative, causing the girl to moan increasingly loudly in repeated collisions.
At this moment, another girl's shout came from outside the cave: "Tia, the gods are summoning all the people of the tribe!"
The young girl Tia was in a state of pleasure, but the deity seemed to be some big shot. Tia moaned and replied, "Alice, I... ah... here we go!"
After speaking, she urged Enzo again, "Hurry up, give it to me quickly!"
Enzo dared not refuse Tia's request.
This girl's strength is too terrifying, which he deeply experienced during the intense exercise just now.
So, in the increasingly rapid impact, hot liquid sprayed out and injected into Tia's body, causing her to tremble and reach orgasm.
A few minutes later.
Tia swiftly dressed herself in animal skin clothes and led Enzo out of the cave.
Clothes had been torn into shreds, and now Enzo, with only a pair of pants to wear, found no other animal skin garments in Tia's cave.
Hence, Enzo had to go shirtless.
However, this didn't draw any attention from the others. Outside the cave, a large group of adult men dressed in primitive animal skin attire, holding wooden spears, along with some tribal women, were steadily gathering towards a certain location. When they saw Enzo, there were no curious gazes. Instead, similar to Tia, some of the young girls cast longing looks at him.
Enzo curiously asked, "Miss Tia, where are they going?"
Tia corrected him, saying, "You are my prey, you should address me as your mistress! But considering your good performance just now, I can forgive your rudeness."
After correcting Enzo's address, Tia explained, "We are going to participate in the Ceremony of the Chosen Ones."
Enzo became even more curious, "The Ceremony of the Chosen Ones?"
Tia elaborated, "Every tribe has priests who guard the tribe. We belong to the Crimson Star Tribe, and Sovita is the priest of our tribe. However, Sovita is getting too old, and her divine power is dissipating. Therefore, we need to select a new priest from among the tribe to protect us."
Priest?
Was it just a title, or was it the legendary messenger with immense power?
Enzo wanted to continue asking questions, but Tia stopped him.
At this moment, all the people of the Crimson Star Tribe gathered in the crude square, which was marked by five towering stone pillars.
In the center of the square, Sovita, the priestess of the Crimson Star Tribe, adorned with a necklace made of fierce beast teeth and draped in a snow-white animal skin, sat on a stone positioned amidst the five pillars. In his hand was a bone scepter, his face lined with wrinkles, his voice somewhat hoarse, "Warriors of the tribe, step forward!"
About a dozen sturdy tribesmen stepped forward.
Sovita continued, "Place your hands on the edge of the stone brazier."
Enzo looked over; the so-called stone brazier was a basin carved from stone. Surprisingly, a small flame flickered at the bottom of the brazier, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.
The few individuals known as tribal warriors followed suit, one by one placing their hands on the edge of the stone brazier.
Nothing happened.
Sovita, disappointed, looked at the others and said, "Other tribesmen, step forward."
After the other members of the Crimson Star Tribe tried one by one, the flame in the stone brazier remained unchanged. Only when Tia placed her hand on the stone brazier did the flame suddenly surge, then quickly recede.
Sovita was puzzled.
The stone brazier was supposed to identify those qualified to be priests. Those with the qualification only needed to place their hand on the brazier, and the flame would grow stronger and persist.
The sudden surge and rapid retreat of the flame were unprecedented.
Priest Sovita commanded, "Tia, try again."
Tia nodded, stepped forward, and placed her hand on the edge of the stone brazier.
This time, the flame in the stone brazier remained unchanged.
Seeing this scene, Priest Sovita sighed and reluctantly announced, "Warriors of the tribe... no one has passed the Ceremony of the Chosen Ones. The great deity... has abandoned the Crimson Star Tribe!"
The entire tribe fell into chaos.
Without the guidance of a priest, the tribe would not be able to survive in this harsh world.
Everyone would become wanderers. The lucky ones might find refuge in other tribes, but they would become slaves, deprived of freedom, and forced into the lowest and most dangerous tasks. And for many others, they would become nothing more than snacks for the beasts in the jungle.
A priest is not only the leader and guide of the tribe but also responsible for awakening the tribe's warriors and bestowing upon them great power. These warriors are the core defense force of a tribe.
Only they can deal with the terrifying monsters that have undergone mutation.
Losing a priest means losing the source of these warriors, and decline is inevitable!
And this is why the people of the Crimson Star Tribe are so desperate.
They continue to cry out, to pray.
"No, great deity, why have you forsaken us?"
"Lord deity, show us your mercy!"
"Why? Lord deity, the people of the Crimson Star Tribe are devout. Why do you treat us like this? I offer you a plump lamb leg, please bestow upon us your gaze!"
The tribespeople continued to call out.
Tia also felt fear and helplessness in her heart.
A tribe without the protection of a priest would inevitably meet its end.
Suddenly, Tia seemed to have an idea. She grabbed Enzo's hand and rushed to the front of the tribespeople, placing Enzo's hand directly on the edge of the stone brazier.
The next moment...
The flame in the stone brazier surged, forming a flame several meters high!
