Ancient Eden - Chapter 91

Chapter 91

~End of chapter 90

With a scream worthy of hell on earth, Gang Tu’s nose was cut off and blood gushed out wildly.

The members of Gang Tu’s tribe who had heard his screams came rushing in, with furious yells.

Li Mang released Gang Tu and avoided the thrust of the spear from the man who rushed at him from the front. He snatched his sharp spear with his left hand and completely slashed the neck of the man with his right hand.

There was another scream, as the man fell to the ground and struggled for a while, before he stopped moving. Large puddles of blood kept pouring out of his mouth and neck, wetting the ground.

Chapter 91

(29.2)

The air was filled with the smell of blood.

The people from Gang Tu’s tribe were stunned, they had never seen anyone who could kill a person so quickly, and they didn’t even see exactly how he did it. Everyone’s face showed a look of incredulity and horror.

When Li Mang took a step in front of them, they took a step back and gradually retreated to the entrance of the cave.

Li Mang turned around and walked with big steps up to Mu Qing, holding her hand with force.

The way he looked at her was as if he was looking at the most precious treasure. That gaze made her nose feel sour in an instant.

She wanted to jump into his arms and cry to her heart’s content, she wanted to hear his voice comforting her.

But she held back from doing so, it wasn’t safe for them yet.

Li Mang knew this better than she did, so he quickly released her hand and gestured for her to follow behind him.

He took hold of Gang Tu, who was still struggling on the ground in pain, and placed the knife against his throat, while he slowly made his way towards the entrance of the cave.

Gang Tu was in too much pain to even speak, and whimpering sounds were coming out of his throat, resembling an evil spirit.

His tribesmen slowly backed away, finally revealing a passageway, but they were still unwilling to let them go just like that.

Mu Qing closely followed Li Mang and walked to the entrance of the cave.

In front, she suddenly saw a fire flickering not far from here, and she faintly heard the screams and curses of women.

The members of Gang Tu’s tribe also noticed the fire, and their faces immediately changed. They shrieked in alarm and they immediately rushed over to that side, almost without any hesitation.

Although it had been raining yesterday, but today the sun had been scorching all day, and if they arrived there late, a small spark was enough to turn into a big fire. They were usually very careful about this, and there would never be a kindling source for fire near there. But now there was suddenly a fire, it was really a bit strange.

That place was where they were storing their food and animal skins, and if it burned down, it would mean more deaths this winter.

Li Mang glanced in the direction of the fire, seemingly pondering about something, and then he dropped Gang Tu that was in his hands.

He carried Mu Qing on his back and left, as if he was flying, towards the forest he had stayed in during daytime.

She was safe now.

Li Mang had really come back to save her, and he had come so quickly.

Mu Qing climbed onto him with both hands and pressed her face against the back of his broad shoulder, crying tears that wet his back. n.-O𝔳𝓔𝔩𝓫In

Li Mang ran as fast as he could, carrying a person of her weight on his back was an easy task for him.

He kept rushing forward without stopping for a rest.

Gang Tu’s tribe had always been known for their cruelty and tenacity, Gang Tu was even more like this. The only reason he had not killed him just before was because he did not want his own tribe to be plagued with Gang Tu’s tribe avenging the death of their leader in war. But an enmity between the two tribes was bound to be forged. Because, he was unable to just let Gang Tu go like this. Cutting off his nose was but a necessary punishment for him who had touched his woman.

He only stopped when he finally reached a place which he felt was safe.

The area was mountainous, with many natural caves. He found a suitable one and put Mu Qing down.

Using the flint and tinder he was carrying in the leather pouch on his body, he ignited a fire. Then he went to the entrance of the cave, folded a lot of soft branches and leaves, found a flat surface on the ground and put the soft branches and leaves on the ground, forming a thick layer.

Mu Qing looked at him, she knew he himself was perfectly capable of sleeping on the bare hard ground just like that, but he just wanted to make her as comfortable as possible.

That done, he carried Mu Qing to the pile of branches and leaves and put her down on it.

“Are you hungry?”

He asked while looking at Mu Qing.

Mu Qing shook her head and tugged on his hand.

She didn’t want to eat anything right now, she just wanted him to hold her tightly so that she could feel the strength of his body.

“Hold me ……”
