Chapter 1: The Panther

Next Chapter

The rain was pouring down, lightning was constantly streaking across the sky, and several figures trudged through the jungle in the heavy rain.

By the light of lightning, it was possible to see a man and two women, one of whom had a big belly.

They were all dressed in rudimentary animal skins, and the women covered the upper and lower parts, but their big bellies were still exposed to the rain, and the rain flowed loudly.

The man is just blocking the important part of the crotch, that's all, holding a spear in both hands.

The spear was cut from an arm-thick trunk, and a sharpened stone knife was tied to the front with an unknown animal tendon.

However, the man's body was very strong, his limbs were muscular, and the muscles on his arms and thighs were bulging like stones.

The other, older woman, with gray hair and a thin body, clearly no longer had the strength to walk, and there was no pregnant woman in between movements.

The three of them did not walk like ordinary people, but kept looking back in a panic all the way, as if something was chasing them behind them.

When a bolt of lightning swept over their heads again, and brought a deafening sound of thunder, the old woman did not know whether she was frightened by the thunder, or if she had tripped over the roots of a tree on the ground, but fell to the ground anyway.

The man quickly turned around and tried to pull the old woman up.

"Red, leave me alone, I can't walk, you better take Mary and run for your life, don't be dragged down by me. The old woman said breathlessly.

"Mother, how can I leave you alone, you haven't seen your grandson yet, get up, let's go on!" the man's name was Red.

"Yes, Mother, if you don't go with us, will you die here, and your grandson can't live without his grandmother!," the pregnant woman named Mary also persuaded loudly.

"But I really can't walk, the enemy will catch up soon, we can't die together, let's go!" reprimanded my grandmother loudly.

While the three of them were still arguing, there was a rumbling sound from the jungle behind them, which was the sound of a large animal crossing the jungle and touching the branches and leaves.

The faces of the three people immediately changed, and Red turned around, clenched the spear in both hands, and looked nervously in the direction of the escape behind him, protecting the two women behind him.

Soon, in the jungle behind him, following the traces of the three people just now, three men and a black animal came out, which turned out to be a black leopard with shiny fur.

The three men's bodies were as strong as Red's, and each of them was holding a spear that was about the same as Rhett's, and when they saw the three of them, they let out a cold laugh.

The panther was covered in black and shiny fur, and even the triangular tip of its little head was black.

The two small round eyes were deeply sunken in their sockets, shining with a terrifying golden light.

Its teeth were sharp and long, much longer than the string of Steppenwolf fangs that Rhett wore around his neck, though it wasn't much larger than Steppenwolf.

The panther's hind legs are significantly thicker and longer than the front legs, and its tail is also thin and long, which are the capital of its fast running.

Red held his spear in front of his chest with both hands, and pointed the tip of the spear at the three enemies opposite, yes, these were his enemies, the sworn enemies of their Wolf tribe, the people of the Panser tribe.

In particular, one of the three was the youngest son of the patriarch of the Panser clan, of course Red recognized him, Shet, and the scar on his face was left on him by Red the last time the two clans fought.

"Shet, how do you know my route? I don't believe it's a coincidence!"

"Oh, noble patriarch, of course it's not a coincidence, it's your Wolf tribesmen who told us, of course, I'm going to keep it a secret for him, and I won't reveal his identity, and when you're dead, ask the god of the forest yourself!" said Schette with a sneer.

"So, let's fight like a man, you let my mother and wife out of here, the woman is innocent. Red said solemnly.

"You want to protect them, don't dream, killing you is only half of my goal in this operation, you are dead, and the beautiful and charming Mary is mine. “

"Don't worry, I will raise the child in Mary's womb for you, and then be my slave and be enslaved to death. As for your wife, let her be your companion and die together!

After Shet finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the three Pansers slowly surrounded him.

The panther was a war pet domesticated by Shet, and a symbol of the Panser tribe, after whom the Panser tribe was named, who worshipped and domesticated the panther, just as the Wolfe tribe domesticated the Steppenwolf.

War pets are the most powerful arms in this barbaric era, when there is a war between tribes.

Clans with strong war pets will also be very strong, and they will get more territory, more slaves, and more wealth.

The Panser and Wolf tribes are two of the most powerful tribes around this forest, and the two tribes have been at odds with each other for centuries.

Both sides had figures at the level of patriarchs who died at the hands of the other, and the number of people who died in the war between the two sides was even more incalculable.

They will fight for a newly discovered hunting ground, for a river with plenty of fish, and for a newly discovered quarry.

In the last tribal war, two tribes fought over a herd of deer migrating from the north, and Shet was the one who was just succeeded to the position of patriarch in that war, and left a deep lesson in his face with a spear.

Since then, Shet has been thinking about this enemy, and when he learns that Red has a beautiful and charming wife, he is even more determined to get rid of Rhett.

Just as there are nasty creatures like flies everywhere, there will be traitors in any tribe who will betray their people for various reasons.

A traitor from the Wolf clan approached Shet, received some benefits from Shet, and made an oath in the name of the gods, and betrayed Rhett's whereabouts to Shet.

According to the ancestral teachings, all tribal men had to go to the forest to worship the god of the forest before their wives became pregnant and gave birth, and offered their own sacrifices in exchange for the protection of the gods.

And this worship activity requires the whole family to go out, but outsiders cannot follow it, the most important thing is that the pregnant woman herself must be present, otherwise who will the blessing of the gods give?

Red offered a rich sacrifice to the saber-toothed tiger, the overlord of the steppes that he had hunted with his own hands, for which his war pet, the steppe wolf Hal had been severely damaged, and he did not follow him on this trip, but stayed in the tribe to heal.

After an arduous trek, the family of three struggled to find the ancient altar deep in the forest.
