Chapitre 6: The First Totem Warrior

Obviously, Enzo's idea differs from Sovita's.

In Enzo's perception, the Fangtusk Wild Boar King is just a monster, while Tia is a human, one of his few friends in this world, even a companion.

But Sovita can't be considered bad either.

He was simply thinking from the perspective of the entire tribe, which is something a priest must learn to do.

However, at this moment, as Sovita looks at Tia lying on the central stone platform watching the battle, he can't help but sigh in his heart: "She's truly a lucky girl..."

At this moment, noise came from outside the camp.

"Boars! So many tusked boars!"

"What is that? It's even larger than the cave I live in!"

"With this much catch, it's enough for the whole tribe to eat for half a month. But unfortunately, it's all meat. It'll go bad in a few days and we can't eat it..."

Once again, the people of the Crimson Star Tribe rushed out, one after another, to help. They took over the prey from Rhode's group, using stone knives to peel off the thick skin of the wild boars and remove the entrails.

At the same time, some of them made fire, preparing to roast the meat.

This was the customary tradition of the Crimson Star Tribe.

However, this time, things were different.

The busy crowd was halted by Sovita's call, and the enormous Fang Wild Boar King was also transported to the ceremonial square. Rhode handed the backpack he brought back to Enzo. After Enzo took it, he once again took out the sharp dagger and easily sliced open the belly of the Boar King, taking out a piece of meat resembling jelly.

This is the essence of the Boar King's monster.

Next, the monster essence was placed in Tia's hands and quickly devoured by the leaf totem.

Sovita took the opportunity to announce, "People of the Crimson Star Tribe, a new tribal warrior will be born today, and that is Tia! The Crimson Star Tribe will become even stronger!"

Cheers immediately swept through everything.

Only a few others who were also tribal warriors found it strange.

When they became tribal warriors, it wasn't through this process... Could it be because Tia was injured?

Rhode and Anse felt even more uneasy.

At this moment, silver-white light flowed on Tia's body surface.

They were very familiar with that kind of light.

When the Fangtusk Wild Boar King fell into its final frenzy, this was the light that appeared on its body surface.

Could it be... this wasn't the awakening of a tribal warrior?

Rhode and Anse realized this and looked at Enzo with particularly intense gazes.

Before long, Tia on the stone platform woke up.

"Enzo!" she exclaimed in surprise, completely unaware of the occasion, and jumped directly onto Enzo, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist, like an affectionate cat, until Sovita's voice rang out, "Tia, I know you're excited, but... this is the ceremonial square."

Tia turned her head and only then saw the other tribe members standing in front of her.

She instantly slid down from Enzo, feeling her face burning hot, wishing she could hide herself.

Enzo chuckled and teasingly said, "Tia, you can be shy too?"

Tia looked puzzled and asked, "What is shy?"

The smile vanished from Enzo's face, feeling a bit helpless. It was apparent that the innocent girl didn't know what being shy meant.

After Sovita announced the start of the activities, the tribe members began to get busy again. With such a plentiful catch this time, it was worthy of a grand bonfire party.

The sky gradually darkened.

As the next priest of the Crimson Star Tribe, Enzo didn't need to share tasks.

Even with roasting the meat, Tia was there to help.

However, after taking a bite, Enzo dared not chew. He could only desperately swallow it down and then gulp down water handed to him by Tia.

The taste was just too strange!

It was akin to the flavor of insects he had found hidden in decaying leaves in the tropical rainforest, with a strong earthy smell mixed with the muskiness of wild boar meat.

Eating this stuff was pure torture.

The thought of enduring days like this ahead made Enzo's scalp tingle uncontrollably.

No, he had to get some seasoning.

At the very least, salt was essential.

Moreover, the backpack had been retrieved from the wild boar territory, and inside were sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Although they were dug up in the wild, their yield might not compare to carefully cultivated crops from farms. But in this era, even without a catch from hunting, planting enough potatoes and sweet potatoes could feed the entire tribe.

Transitioning from the Stone Age to the Agricultural Age was a significant leap!

Just then, Tia ran back to Enzo again, unfolding the animal hide she was holding in her arms.

Inside were some wild fruits, some with slightly sunken skin.

"These are fruits I picked in the mountains to the north. They're tangy and sweet, very delicious. There's also a big fruit tree there, covered in pink fruits, but unfortunately, a group of pesky black-tailed monkeys guards it." Tia said.

Enzo listened and picked up a wild fruit to taste.

The flavor was indeed good.

As soon as he finished one, Tia peeled another and handed it to him, bringing it to his lips.

"Tia, you don't need to do this," Enzo said.

But Tia continued in her own way, peeling the fruit and feeding Enzo while emphasizing, "You saved my life and helped me achieve my dream of becoming a tribal warrior. This is repayment."

Enzo sighed and replied, "Alright then."

At this moment, he thought to himself: If the girl tried the power she gained from becoming a "tribal warrior," her expression would surely be fascinating—whether it be surprise, joy, or simply being dumbfounded...

After all, Tia wasn't just a tribal warrior.

She was a totem warrior.

Totem warriors possessed extraordinary abilities.

At Sovita's request, Enzo agreed to keep Tia's identity as a totem warrior hidden from the rest of the tribe.

The Crimson Star Tribe wasn't yet strong enough, and if this news were to be exposed, it could invite the scrutiny of other tribes, potentially leading to the tribe's downfall.

Of course, it would be difficult to keep this information hidden from other tribal warriors.

However, Sovita would handle this matter.

In summary, this expedition, which resulted in the killing of the Fangtusk Wild Boar King and the acquisition of a large amount of wild boar meat, along with Tia becoming a totem warrior, greatly strengthened the Crimson Star Tribe—

And all of this wouldn't have been possible without Enzo.

In a tribe that revered survival of the fittest, Enzo's prestige skyrocketed.

At the bonfire party alone, many tribe members came to pay their respects to him, and quite a few daring young women even proposed to bear his children, only to be rejected by Tia, who stated that she was currently bearing Enzo's offspring.

Enzo didn't know how to evaluate the reasons for her rejection.

Apart from that, the overwhelming enthusiasm of the tribe made it difficult for Enzo to cope.

Therefore, after filling their stomachs, he quietly left the party with Tia and climbed up the small hillside on the side of the camp, lying down on the grass with Tia, gazing at the sparkling stars in the night sky.

"Tia..." Enzo suddenly spoke.

Tia turned her head, her amber eyes reflecting the moonlight, incredibly captivating.

Enzo continued, "I mean, next time we encounter danger, don't push me out to face it alone."

Tia responded firmly, "No! You are the priest of the Crimson Star Tribe, and I must protect you. Just like you said before, saving you is equivalent to saving the tribe."

Her words came back in a peculiar way, leaving Enzo feeling helpless.

Soon, the rhythmic breathing of the girl resounded by his side.

It was already late at night, and in this era, there were no elaborate entertainment activities, so naturally there were no night owls.

Enzo found it hard to sleep.

In his previous life, he often stayed up late. It became a habit. Secondly, he once again realized that he had come to this strange primitive world, not as a fantasy, but as a reality.

Because in the moonlight, he could clearly see every strand of hair on the girl beside him.

Her closed eyes, petite nose, and pink lips...

Desire surged within Enzo. Sleeping Tia had a sweetness that was completely opposite to her personality.

So Enzo moved and leaned in.

Touching Tia's seductive lips, soft, and with a pair of amber eyes that were particularly captivating and full of desire, she turned over and pressed against him.

Tia said sincerely, "Enzo, I want to have offspring with you."

Enzo did not refuse.

His hand gently caressed Tia's soft peaks, and Tia was extremely cooperative. Her soft waist twisted and her legs unconsciously gripped Enzo.

On this quiet night, crazy moans echoed incessantly.
