Chapter 37: Lukas is Back
The people of the black boar tribe focused solely on the results and not on the process. No one would care if you didn't find an animal when you went out hunting. If you didn't catch an animal, then you would be considered a failure.
This was the same in every aspect, be it collecting roots, berries and fruits or making children. If one was unable to produce results, then they would be considered failures.
Unfortunately, the Black Boar tribe followed a tradition of blaming the females for not getting pregnant. They didn't see if the man was impotent or not, or if there were any other problems.
This would push the "failed woman" into a lower position among the other females and since the tribe also followed monogamy and punished adultery, these women would often end up being mocked until they die.
Nina sat by the door and silently watched as four young women, ranging around 25 boss around an older woman who obediently picked up the feces of the families of the younger women.wo or three days instead.
"So... approximately 12 hours." he muttered and nodded, "Looks like rest and recovery helps with expelling poison too. Or maybe adapt? Who knows..."
Then he stretched as he felt a little stiff.
"Ugh, that felt good. It's night but I don't feel sleepy...." he said softly as he looked at Nina, "Do you want to go to the place where we were attacked? I want to find clues about the the attackers. Based on the arrows, it should be one of the cannibals but cannibals don't put gems in their teeth."
Nina nodded as she stood up. Then, she glanced at him and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Are you bringing the others?"
Originally, Lukas didn't really have plans on bringing anyone but after hearing her question, he remembered that he wasn't a local. Navigating the forest at night was easy with his Nature's Whisper which was at S rank, but he would rather be safe than sorry.
"Maybe we should take the trio with us." he said and nodded as he walked out of the hut, "I'll go wake up Uke. I'll leave the girls to you."
Without looking back, he walked towards the place where the Uke family usually slept and as he had expected, they were there. All of them lay under a thick tree as they slept peacefully.
Lukas simply touched Uke and the kid opened his wide. This made Lukas wonder if the kid was actually asleep.
Pushing his thoughts away, he leaned closer and whispered, "Come with me. We're going out to find something."
