Volume 1 Prehistoric Wars Chapter 19 The Ironback Ape

The significance of the struggle for hegemony is very huge, and it is the basic goal of every species to reproduce forever, and no one wants to see their race reduced to a forgotten history in the long river of time.

Maybe these beasts and the current Xuanhuang people don't have such awareness, but instinct tells them that they must go all out to grab more territory, plunder more resources, obtain more living space, and strive for the growth of the population.

In this era, it is still the world of reptiles, almost all the populations with more than one million are large reptiles, no way, their reproduction rate is too fast, during the growth period, dozens of eggs a year, I don't know how many times faster than viviparous mammals.

Mammals suffer in this regard, just as there is a difference between the artisanal producer and the factory mode of production.

Therefore, when the populations of ancient wolves, blue foxes, monkey-faced leopards and Xuanhuang people were still working the number of 100,000, further away, the number of some reptile races had exceeded 100 million.

Fortunately, those giant populations are relatively far away, and it will not affect their lives for the time being, otherwise, they will be swallowed up in minutes.

But the nearby place is not without strong enemies, no, just walked the lizard dog, and now there is a green-skinned dragon, although separated by a magnificent river, but maybe people are forced to cross, besides, in the cold winter, most of the Suyu River will be frozen, and even the place where the water is gentle is completely frozen, at that time, the green-skinned dragon marching into the south bank does not seem to be a difficult thing.

Despite being separated from the territory of the Blue Fox, the Xuanhuang people also seem to smell danger.

They began to prepare war materials, collect boulders, hoard food, polish stone tools, and dig more traps.

They also work hard to reproduce, albeit at a relatively slow pace that can't be compared to reptiles, but even less if they don't try.

In addition, they also worked hard to improve their personal combat effectiveness, and at this time, the big man who was marked by the old party began to become active, and under his organization, a team of 3,000 teenagers had been formed.

They face the morning sun, or climb the peak, or jump the dangerous stall, to practice a good endurance, and in the evening, they plunge into the waterfall, withstand the pressure of thousands of catties of water, and practice a tenacious character.

They also practiced spears, short spears, stone axes, and stone hammers.

The Great Han had accumulated a lot of experience in the war, and he found the most practical moves for some combat scenarios and asked the teenagers to practice hard.

In the eyes of the old man, these moves are very simple, nothing more than chopping, poking, picking, plucking, smashing and the like, but under the demonstration of the big man, the old man felt a murderous aura from the soul.

Lao Fang was silent, he was also a martial arts enthusiast in middle school (gorgeously bragging), after watching this big man use these moves, he suddenly understood that in martial arts, the most practical move is not to rotate 360 degrees, and then come to a whirlwind leg, but the most basic straight punch, hook box, hook box, whip leg and so on.

Of course, the old party didn't know whether these things handed over by the big man could withstand the test when they really arrived on the battlefield, but the teenagers were very serious and had a lot of fun practicing at a glance.

On the other side, the big man, who single-handedly changed the head of the lizard dog leader to a new house in the Battle of the Nine Songs, is also preparing his cavalry plan.

The wolves still refuse to cooperate, and the number of cubs they send is too small, and it may take more than 100 years to develop to a certain scale.

At that time, not to mention what will happen to the Xuanhuang people, he himself must have become ancient.

So on a whim, he set his sights on herbivores.

The hexagonal deer (the name Lao Fang took for it, because it resembles the deer on the earth, and has six horns) was the first to enter his consideration, this animal is very tame, and it is not weak in running.

Soon, he caught a six-horned deer and sat on it without hesitation, the six-horned deer trembled, and he didn't understand what the Xuanhuang man on his back wanted to do.

He slapped the hexaplar deer on the buttocks, and the hexaplar fell to his knees in fright, with no intention of running at all.

He tossed for a long time, and finally pulled the hexaphorn deer from the ground, he tried to communicate with it, and the hexagonal deer seemed to understand whether it understood or not, but every time it was critical, it dropped the chain.

Later, the hexaphorn deer probably really understood what he meant, and drove him around, and he was very happy, and tried to speed up, but when he crossed a ditch, there was a click, and the hexaphorn deer's front foot was broken.

He looked at the four thin legs of the hexagonal deer, sighed, and felt that this thing could not be put on the table, and when it came to the battlefield, this little thin leg could not withstand the toss at all, and the courage was too small.

So he set his sights on a kind of unicorn.

The horse's legs are much larger than the deer just now, and they are also taller.

He felt that he was looking in the right direction, so he found a few acquaintances and captured two unicorns alive together.

The horse, which was indeed more spiritual than the deer, and much more courageous, communicated with it a little, and then rode on.

The unicorn has a fierce temperament and constantly jumps in place, trying to throw him off.

However, he still has a lot of means, and uses brute force to suppress the unicorn and force it to accept himself.

Soon, the unicorn succumbed and became extremely docile.

He tried to ride it and it was perfect.

The endurance of the unicorn is very good, and the speed is not bad, even if it carries a Xuanhuang person, it can easily run for hours on end.

Soon, he promoted the unicorn among the Xuanhuang people, and with the help of the unicorns, the Xuanhuang people hunted and ran errands much faster.

The only trouble is that the unicorn needs to be supervised, and after a little carelessness, it returns to its own herd.

No way, in this era, the Xuanhuang people haven't invented ropes yet, and it's still quite difficult to tie a living thing to a vine.

However, for the sake of cavalry, it is not difficult to send someone to take care of the tamed unicorn, and in this way, the Xuanhuang people have animal husbandry in the true sense.

Since there was a unicorn to replace the wolf, the meeting with the wolf became awkward, the yellow man looked at him with a face, the wolf hurriedly walked in front of the wildebeest with his head down, only the unicorn struck the ground with his hooves on his toes.

The wolves looked a little lonely, as if they had lost something, but they couldn't figure out what they had lost.

The Xuanhuang man looked at the back of the wolves, sighed, and clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and the unicorn understood the meaning of this action, let go of the four hooves, and ran forward.

Time flies, and the three populations of blue fox, ancient wolf, and monkey-faced leopard have passed another five years in trembling.

In the past five years, the green-skinned dragon has only moved its power to the east a little, and does not seem to have the slightest interest in the land on the other side of the Suyu River, neither sending spies to make a test, nor taking advantage of the winter when the river is frozen to take a look.

This is perfect for the three races, which have quietly developed their strength and live together in great harmony.

This relationship is very delicate, without the existence of the green-skinned dragon, the three races are only afraid that there will be several large-scale battles every year, but with a stronger enemy, the three races are like a family, with the meaning of advancing and retreating together, and the meaning of not doing unnecessary consumption.

Winter came early this year, the temperature was unusually cold, and the herbivores migrated early to places where water and grass were abundant, and they crossed mountains and rivers to reach places where the sun was still warm.

In the same way, all the carnivores did a great hunt, and they feasted for several days, leaving a skeleton with a white forest in the wilderness.

In the days that followed, they had to dig gophers or catch other small animals to survive.

Of course, they can also challenge other carnivores by killing them and filling their bellies.

However, the two animals with equal strength, it is not certain who will kill the deer, so this behavior has a certain degree of danger.

At this time, the benefits of the population are realized, they go around searching for large lone animals, and then surround them, kill them, and in addition to a meal, they can hide each other's meat in the ice cave and drag it out to eat when it is the coldest.

In the second month of the extinction of herbivores, the first snow fell in the middle and lower reaches of the Suyu River.

Snowflakes fell on the surface of the river, and then they were swallowed up by the churning waves, and the eastward water had no intention of stopping.

But after a day and a night, a thick layer of ice had formed on the surface of the river.

Dozens of blue foxes stood on the bank of the river in the first snow, looking at the snowflakes still flying in the air, and then at the completely frozen river, their crimson eyes showing a faint sadness.

This year's ice is exceptionally thick, and the army has no problem walking on the ice, if the green-skinned dragon comes from the north along the river, then what should it resist? The blue foxes were so worried.

It's not just the blue fox that's worried, but also the ancient wolf, the monkey-faced leopard, and the Xuanhuang people further south.

The Xuanhuang people have been preparing for this for five years, and they feel that this battle will not be able to escape, and sooner or later the greenskin dragon will set its sights on this great south, where there are many races, the territory is huge, and all of them are mammalian populations.

Lao Fang shook his head, feeling that these guys were worrying about nothing.

Because these green-skinned dragons are hibernating underground at the moment, they don't pay attention to the other races at all.

Although the Greenskin Dragon did not invade, during the second snowfall of the year, another race wandered to the middle and lower reaches of the Suyu Plains and established a power in the western forests of the Xuanhuang people.

The iron-backed ape, an ape that rises nearly five meters, has been defeated in the battle for territory in the western highlands and has to move east.

Speaking of which, this animal should not be a carnivore, but their individual strength is very strong, and general carnivorism is completely vulnerable in front of it.

For the arrival of the iron-backed ape, the Xuanhuang people did not show any hostility, and at this stage, they were unwilling to make extraneous branches, and they were not willing to easily lose their strength to start an unprovoked war.

The iron-backed ape is also very satisfied with this forest, trees with a diameter of more than ten meters abound, rats and birds that are not afraid of the cold, jumping on the branches non-stop, and in spring, this place will definitely be more beautiful.

The leader of the ironback ape looked at the sparse team, in the war in the west, they had lost tens of thousands of their strongest warriors, and now there were only more than 3,000 people left in front of them, and it was too important for them to have such a forest to live in.

The ironback ape settled down in the forest, and the leader of the Xuanhuang people pondered for a moment and decided to divide the collected fruit into 10% and give it to the ironback ape as a way to establish a friendship.

The collection ability of the Xuanhuang people is particularly strong, although it is only a fruit, but when it is transported, it is enough to send three hundred unicorns.

They made pockets out of soft, dried animal skins, stuffed the fruit into them, and then sat down on their unicorns, and the remaining four hands carried a bag in each hand, and set out for the territory of the iron-backed ape.

This was the first diplomacy of the Xuanhuang people, and it was not recorded in the annals of history, but it did happen.

The leader of the ironback ape was very touched by this friendship in the snow, and it was the first time that anyone had done so after surviving in this world for so long.

They remembered the little man with six arms and a unicorn in front of them, because they had brought enough food for them to survive the winter.

Throughout the winter, they have a good time and food, so they instinctively feel that they should develop and develop their population.
