“But Light ……” Night still had something to say but Edward just smiled and stopped her.

"Night, our new tribe will soon grow stronger so we need more people. These people will be handed over to you. Arrange a woman to take care of Daisy and let the rest of the men go to the swamp to collect clay or firewood. Tell them as long as these tasks are completed, there will be meat for them to eat. Nothing is free. They’ll have to work for food.”

Daisy lying down beside the fire heard Edward’s words. She thought that everyone was going hunting while leaving her behind in the cave. She suddenly, in a hurry raised her weak arms and said with impatience:

"Light...Night sister let me go, I really want to see how you will use a bow and arrow hunt a deer. I am alright. I can even stand."

Sitting next to her, Edward, who had been watching her, touched her forehead and smiled as he comforted her:

"Daisy, you are sick now but when you recover your health, you will definitely get the chance to hunt with the bow and arrow."

The moment he said those words, something felt weird to him. Suddenly realizing the reason, he gave a deep sigh.

‘This is the primitive world. If I had a conversation with a girl in the modern world, about hunting and killing or covering herself in the blood of animals, people would call me a crazy hooligan or even a mobster yet it’s the norm here. I’ll have to adjust myself.’

Arranging Daisy, Edward wrapped the bundle of grass brought by Roc with a small piece of animal skin into a football-sized straw bag, and then tied it with a leather cord.

Outside the cave, Debro and Roc were waiting for him with their bows and arrows.

Edward walked under a tree not far away and tied the ball on to the tree.

Then he stepped back more than 40 meters and said to Debro and Roc who had been behind him:

"Before we hunt, we must first practice archery which is different from throwing your stone spears," he pointed his finger at the tree in front.

"Now, the straw bag is like prey. I will shoot it with an arrow." Edward took a bow and turned his head to teach the two.

"Be sure to see how I did it. The prey is usually very alert. If the target is not clear, then our prey can run away. Animals have better instincts than us. Do you understand?"

The two answered in unison: "Understood, Light brother!"

He then guided them through the essentials,

"The arrow has to be lined up with the prey, and then," Edward's face flushed red, and it took his full strength to pull the bow to 60%, aiming at the target and then releasing the arrow.

The arrow left the bow but it flew in a different direction from the target.

Debro and Roc had a blank expression.

Edward couldn’t let shame take over him and immediately followed through another shot.

This time the arrow did not hit the target, but it was only a few meters away from the target.

Edward squinted and said while hiding his shame: “Do you see this? If you shoot like this, then we won’t get anything to eat! I am teaching you what not to do with a bow!"

After that, he handed the bow out: "Who of you is coming first?"

The two brothers had already been unable to withstand the excitement and the excitement showed on their faces regarding this new type of weapon. This weapon opened a whole new avenue of possibilities for them.

When they heard Edward’s question, they both rushed forward,

"Light... Light brother... I. ...I will come first!" they both said together

Edward handed the bow to Roc.

"Don't argue, let Roc come first! After his trial, you will get your chance. I want you both to practice this."

Roc squinted his eyes, looking at the target set by Edward, and unhurriedly took an arrow. He slowly stretches the bowstring and took aim. Roc felt more like a veteran than Edward did.

Roc pulled the bow at once and released the arrow,

"THWISH!" An arrow flew out!

“WOOSH” the sound of an arrow going through the air.

“THUNK” the sound of an arrow hitting the target.

Edward felt that Roc had a beginner’s luck which allowed him to hit his target on his first try.

Roc’s face was filled with an excited smile. Obviously, this first arrow inspired him and then he shot his second arrow.

This time only the feathers of the arrow were seen outside of the straw bag!

This surprised Edward!

He quickly ran to the tree and carefully examined the target. The straw bag was pierced with two holes, and the second arrow had gone through the straw bag and was blocked by the tree.

He felt that his brain was a bit messy.

"Roc, shoot again" Edward encouraged him. He didn’t know what to expect, but he was a little excited.

This time he re-examined the squinting brother named Roc and carefully observed each of his actions.

Still not flustered, Roc readies the bow and arrow. He remained quiet and squinted his eyes. Then he took aim and released the arrow.

"THWISH!" The arrow shot out.

It was on target the third time too.

Edward was shocked!

‘This is incredible! This Roc is simply an archery genius.’

Edward didn’t know from where Roc even learned to shoot the arrow properly but it felt like Roc was born for archery. It was like a natural instinct for him!

"Nice, nice, nice!" Edward shouted and excitedly hugged Roc,

Night, over to the side also heard the commotion and ran over. By now she had arranged tasks for the few people who had come for food. Although they curiously looked at Edward and their archery they didn’t linger long as they hurriedly went about the tasks assigned to them. They wanted to just quickly be done with everything and eat meat.

"Light, what are you so happy about?"

"Night, I am so excited! This kind of bow and arrow plus the right person can help us hunt any kind of bigger game. Before we were like a paper tiger but now with a bow on Roc, we have become like real tigers. It is too difficult to lose now!”

Edward was in a good mood and he decided to change his plan.

"Night, now it is noon, we will go directly to the forest, on the way, let Roc practice his archery, and at night we will live directly in the woods, set up an ambush in the morning against the deer!"

**************

The four men traveled all the way to the valley where the deer was found. Debro had his try with the bow but he wasn’t as proficient as Roc so he eventually had to relent.

If Edward didn’t have to worry about the arrows, he would have let Roc take more practice shots. Edward wanted to save enough arrows for the deer hunting.

Edward saw some pheasant sitting on treetops. They were previously out of reach but now they were like fat sheep, ripe for their picking. As long as Roc had a clear view of the bird, his shot was guaranteed to hit.

Roc’s arrow took down a pheasant and everyone gave a happy shout and rushed to pick up the prey.

Edward saw Roc staring towards the treetops with a blank look on his face. Edward quickly dissuaded Roc after understanding the meaning of his look. He knew Roc was just getting the feel of shooting something from a distance, pleasure, and enjoyment.

"Roc, don't shoot again, only 20 arrows are left. We have to hunt a deer too so save the remaining arrows. For now, I will appoint you as the captain of the hunting team.”

Edward then smiled and turned towards Night and asked her something out of the blue,

"Night, give us a name for our new tribe. What do you think is good?"

Night scratched her chin and smiled sweetly;

"Light, I can't give a name, you know so much, so you should give a name!"

Edward thought for a moment, he was saved by Night, and the name of the new tribe should have something to do with her. He knew how much Night liked bird and always watched birds flying in the clear sky during the day so he felt the name of the tribe had to be something related to birds and something simple.

"Then we will be flying eagle, flying eagle tribe!"

"Okay, let's have that name for the tribe." Night smiled, her dark eyes flashed brightly all the while she was carrying two fat pheasants with her, the other one also hunted by Roc.

Seeing that they were less than one mile away from their destination, they worked on finding a relatively open terrain to hunt.

"Roc, Debro and Night, let's camp here in the wild tonight. What do you guys think we should do next? You don’t need me to teach you that now do you?” Edward asked cheerfully.

They had already planned and planned. Edwards wanted them to think for themselves too instead of relying on him only.

"Then...then....of course it is roasting.... and eating the pheasant!" Debro replied with an excited grin on his face. It seemed he was looking forward to eating the bird for dinner.

“Then hurry up and gather firewood!” Edward smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Brother Light, Night sister, you both should rest today, let me and Debro do everything. We have learned enough to do on our own.” Said Roc.

Roc was in a state of extreme excitement and quickly unloaded his bow and arrow from his back and got to work along with Debro.

"That's good! We are waiting to eat the bird you both roast!"

Edward took Night aside and sat down with her. They sat extremely close to each other as their bodies touched each other. Edward gently whispered into her ear from behind:

“Tell me about the saber-tooth tiger’s teeth that you want as a token to accept someone as your man”

Hearing this, Night simply blushed.
