In the midst of the pounding pain, Minh Vu tried to open his eyes, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't.
He remembered walking down the road when suddenly something fell from the sky and struck him on the head, leaving his mind in a daze.
Though he could still sense his surroundings, a wave of sleepiness overcame him, and he couldn't resist letting his consciousness slip into sleep.
Now, he had regained consciousness, but despite his efforts, he couldn't open his eyes. However, his senses still perceived everything around him.
He could hear the sounds of human activity mingling with the cries of wild animals, especially the smells that his nose transmitted, strange and distinct, carrying scents of smoke, grilled meat, and the faint odor of decay wafting through the air.
What made him particularly uncomfortable was that he was lying on a pile of straw, and there were numerous bugs inside, making his entire body unbearably itchy.
Using his four remaining senses to perceive everything around him, suddenly, he felt his body being lifted, and then something was thrust into his mouth.
Moments later, a liquid, or more precisely, blood, continuously flowed into his mouth, a pungent taste flooding his mouth and rushing straight to his brain.
A strong, nauseating sensation overwhelmed him.
At this moment, his immobile body instinctively reacted, and he vigorously retched, expelling everything in his mouth.
Coughing incessantly, before he could fully recover, a terrifying scene unfolded before him.
In front of him stood a wild man with a rugged beard and disheveled hair, wearing only a loincloth made of animal skin, revealing terrifying scars on his bare chest.
Moreover, around his neck, he wore a large bone pendant, the bone of an unknown creature.
Behind this man were more than fifty other wild men, young and old alike, gathering around a large fire, seemingly enjoying a meal.
Before Minh Vu could comprehend the situation, a tremendous pain surged through his head, causing him to scream in agony, his entire body convulsing uncontrollably.
However, after the pain subsided, memories of a young wild child flooded his mind.
Minh Vu had reincarnated into the body of a primitive wild human.
He didn't know who the parents of this wild human were, but his mother had died this morning while searching for food in the woods, bitten to death by a wolf. Fortunately, he was saved by Klu.
In the scant memories of this wild child, this place was a primitive era where humans had extremely limited power, always living in fear of dangerous beasts and other human tribes.
The tribe he was in was called the "Stone Tribe," named after a large stone in their cave that looked as if someone had cut a massive rock into a colossal face.
Around the Stone Tribe, there were more than five other tribes, including the Fire Tribe, Tree Tribe, Dry Tribe, Fang Tribe, and Rock Tribe.
Among them, the Stone Tribe was the weakest, and the most robust was the Rock Tribe.
The strength of the Rock Tribe came from having a salt mine in their settlement.
Salt was crucial in this primitive era, enabling the Rock Tribe to trade for various kinds of food and resources.
Thus, the Rock Tribe continuously grew stronger.
On the other hand, the Stone Tribe not only had fewer members but also lacked the necessary food resources for development, making them weaker and more vulnerable.
Seeing Minh Vu spitting out fresh blood, Klu felt regretful.
This was blood, and drinking it would make one healthy.
Yet, this guy was vomiting it out, a real waste. Klu sighed in disappointment.
Today, he and the warriors had hunted for a long time to catch a large mouse, and Klu had intended to give it to this little guy.
However, he ended up spitting it out. Klu felt a pang of regret.
Minh Vu, now trying to regain his composure, accepted the grilled meat offered by Klu. He didn't rush to eat but pondered what he should do next.
He was a young man from the 21st century, born into a farming family.
After finishing high school, he went to the city for university with a dream of changing his profession.
He didn't want to be a farmer like his parents, toiling for the land and sky.
However, after graduation, his dreams shattered due to the harsh reality. While contemplating returning to farming, a major incident occurred.
He not only became a farmer but also had to do even more horrifying things.
He had to do whatever it took to survive in this primitive and perilous world.
But in this era, the most precious thing is food; with food, one has everything at hand.
As per the remaining memories, this place experiences four seasons in a year.
Currently, it is nearing the end of autumn, the time to gather food reserves for the harsh winter.
Minh Vu gritted his teeth and directly devoured the poorly cooked piece of meat.
He had to be determined to live well in this primitive land. He couldn't believe that someone with the knowledge of humanity in the 21st century couldn't survive here; it was a matter of great disgrace.
The night shadow enveloped the air, and the Stone Tribe slept in silence.
The cave was immersed in stillness, with only the faint sounds of breathing and occasional moans breaking the silence. A night without any incidents passed.
Early in the morning, as the dawn broke, a new day for the Stone Tribe began. After breakfast, the tribe members started their tasks.
The hunting group, led by Klu, ventured into the deep forest to search for prey.
The gatherers, along with a few elderly members, roamed the surroundings, collecting various items.
The children followed, gathering things as well.
In the stone cave, only Vu and Minh Vu remained.
Because Minh Vu had been injured while fleeing yesterday, he needed to rest and didn't have to go out to work.
However, he didn't sit still; he explored his surroundings to see if there was anything useful.
