Super Gene Hunting Ground

”No, Ah Chun is my woman!”

Ah Yong, at the age of 15, could no longer contain his anger and stood up, shouting loudly.

Ah Yong, having helped the tribe acquire fire, had finally won Ah Chun; he couldn’t possibly let someone else take his woman.

Wolf Claw glanced at Ah Yong and sneered:

”Ah Yong, Ah Chun has caught the eye of the Wolf King’s son; regardless of whether she’s your woman or not, you must give her up.”

In the eyes of savages, there is no concept of chastity, only possessiveness.

It is common for tribes to seize women from each other, and when two equally matched tribes vie for women, bloody wars usually ensue.

To avoid war and casualties, tribes eventually started exchanging women or trading them, which also prevented frequent inbreeding within the same tribe.

”No, never!”

Ah Yong roared, looking at his father.

Ah Chun by his side also showed a resisting expression; staying in her tribe, she could receive some respect, but if taken to another tribe, she would merely be a tool for childbirth and a laboring slave, with no one caring about her well-being.

In the tribes of savages, aside from direct siblings, marriage is permissible between anyone else.

The tribal elder, Ah Yong’s father Elder Shitou, looked gloomy and scolded his son:

”Ah Yong, shut up!”

Ah Yong shouted fiercely:

”Father, they want to take Ah Chun away, and I will never agree!”

”Be quiet, I make the decisions here!”

Elder Shitou rebuked him, causing Ah Yong’s body to tremble as he stared blankly at his father.

Their tribe of just a few dozen people was simply no match for the largest Wolf Clan Tribe of Shenlongjia; such demands for women by the Wolf Clan were not unprecedented.

Every time, they all had to silently accept the demands of the Wolf Clan; otherwise, the Wolf Clan would annihilate them, taking all their women and killing all their men.

The tribes of Shenlongjia still lived in primal human society, prioritizing simple brute force.

Elder Shitou looked at Wolf Claw and said with his head bowed:

”Chief Wolf Claw, Ah Chun was indeed assigned to my son Ah Yong just two days ago, hence Ah Yong is somewhat agitated. Please do not blame him. Since the Wolf King’s son wants Ah Chun, come and take her in three days. We will also have the necessary gifts ready by then.”

”Father!”

Ah Yong shouted in despair, knowing that his father had no means to oppose the Wolf Clan, and that he could only agree to their demands. He also knew that once Ah Chun was taken away by the Wolf King’s son, she would never belong to him again.

”Be quiet!”

Elder Shitou shouted angrily at his son, for the sake of the lives of the entire tribe, he had to be decisive.

Wolf Claw laughed heartily and said:

”Elder Shitou, you know what to do. The Wolf King won’t blame you. Teach your son well, and make sure he doesn’t cause any trouble.”

After speaking, he smiled at Ah Yong:

”You’re still young, there will be women for you in the future, don’t compete with the Wolf King’s son, otherwise, you know the outcome. Have you forgotten what happened last year when Ah Niu’s tribe fought the Wolf King’s brother over a woman?”

When Wolf Claw suddenly brought up this matter, the entire tribe of Elder Shitou shuddered with fear. Those who had felt anger earlier were now completely overtaken by fear.

Ah Niu’s woman caught the eye of the Wolf King’s brother, who demanded that Ah Niu give her up. Ah Niu refused and even injured the Wolf King’s brother. As a result, the Wolf King, with over a hundred men, annihilated Ah Niu’s tribe, killing all the adult men, taking the children as slaves, and seizing all the women.

Elder Shitou naturally did not want such a disaster to befall his own tribe, so he quickly said:

”Wolf Claw chief, rest assured, there will be no mishaps; you can come to get the people in three days.”

”Haha, good, then I’ll be leaving first!”

Wolf Claw laughed triumphantly.

Elder Shitou hurriedly had someone bring over a large iron basin, placing some burning firewood in it to make a fire basin, supported underneath by several large branches.

”Wolf Claw chief, the fire basin is ready, you can take the fire back with you. Mind the addition of branches on the way to keep the fire from going out.”

”Alright, let’s go.”

Wolf Claw waved his hand, leading his dozen followers out, turning back to glance at Ah Chun with a sneer before walking out of the cave.

After Wolf Claw left, the cave fell into silence, the somber atmosphere suffocating everyone.

This is the typical jungle life; the wild people, half human, half beast. Though they have started to form groups and have some social values and norms, their lives and their tribe are extremely fragile, vulnerable to collapse under any significant external force.

After a long while, Elder Shitou, as the leader of the tribe, sighed deeply and said:

”Everyone, prepare to go hunting, two wild boars, one wild buffalo, and ten rabbits or mice. Complete the tasks quickly. Also,”

Elder Shitou glanced at his son, a flash of affection in his eyes, then sternly said:

”Ah Yong, remember, any act of resistance is forbidden, otherwise, do not blame me for banishing you from the tribe.”

For the tribe, the harshest punishment was death, followed by expulsion, leaving one to fend for themselves.

In the depths of Shenlongjia, filled with horrific mutant monsters, a lone wild person would hardly survive.

Ah Yong clenched his teeth, his broad chest muscles trembling as he yelled loudly and ran out of the cave.

Ah Chun, tears streaming down his face, watched helplessly as Ah Yong’s figure disappeared.

They are all unable to change their fates.

Ah Yong ran out of the cave, sprinting through the valley and furiously breaking a few large trees along the way.

As an individual with Intermediate Enhanced Gene cultivation, Ah Yong possessed great combat power, but they lacked Soul Skills and Beast Souls, possessing merely formidable basic attributes.

Compared to Yang Xiao and others who possessed Beast Souls and Soul Skills, Ah Yong’s combat power was much lesser.

Ah Yong ran out of the valley and sprinted all the way, unknowingly reaching the forest near the cave where Yang Xiao had stayed overnight.

It was still early, and Yang Xiao had not returned; Ah Yong directly approached the cave entrance, seeing the tiger and wolf skins hanging from the rock wall outside the cave, he was immensely shocked.

Especially that tiger skin, ten meters long; it must have belonged to a Fierce Beast with at least Intermediate Enhanced Gene capabilities. Such a beast, even if the entire tribe came forward, might not necessarily be handled.
