Chapter 32: New Discoveries
Under the vicious coercion of Chen Xu and other apes, the two lone apes followed the law of the law of the jungle and led them through the grassland and through the dense forest.
After about half an hour, they were out of the forest and into a valley.
"This is it?"
A strange light flashed in his eyes, looking at the strange scenery of this place, Chen Xu couldn't help frowning slightly, and ordered his subordinates to bring up the two captives!
"This is it!"
When the two apes heard this, they hurriedly agreed with trepidation, but no matter how they looked at it, Chen Xu seemed to see a hint of excitement in their expressions, as if they were not worried about their tribe at all.
Although he knew that the ape-man at this time had just escaped from the category of beasts and did not have much concept of loyalty, the performance of the two ape-men in front of him was still too much.
In any case, after all, the people who live in it are the compatriots they have been fighting with, and they are people who are connected by blood, even those famous Han anniversaries in history will shed a tear or two when they encounter such a situation, let alone these primitive people with rough and intelligent intelligence!
What's more, with the previous captain of the ape-man team, Chen Xu understood that if he was not cornered, he would only starve to death if he did not surrender, and it would not be so easy for him to subdue the previous tribe.
Combining these signs, the faintly excited expressions of the two apes in front of him are very unusual, and the other apes can't see it, which doesn't mean that Chen Xu can't see it either.
"Is there any danger here? Or is this tribe not a weak tribe as I imagined, but a very powerful tribe, and these two ape-men are just the ones who are left behind in a certain hunting party?"
With a move in his heart, Chen Xu, who was carefully observing the traces of the valley, couldn't help but have a bad guess.
The mouth of this valley is very dangerous, and there are high cliffs thirty or forty meters high on both sides, and the high cliffs are covered with dense jungle, except for the empty space between the forest and the valley, which shows a glimmer of skylight.
And the mouth of the valley is extremely narrow, in which from the exit outside, to the open place inside, there is a narrow passage of more than ten meters, which can only be used by one person, as if it was directly split by a great god with an axe, and the cliff wall seems to be a clamp that gathers up, extending upwards at an oblique 45 degrees.
And more than ten meters away from the mouth of the valley, it was suddenly empty, and enough light shone into it, as if it had changed another world, even in the dense forest dozens of meters away, Chen Xu could see that place clearly.
"His grandmother's, what a place where a husband is a pass, and ten thousand people can't open it, it seems that this tribe is not simple!"
His eyes narrowed slightly, Chen Xu's mind turned, and he directly put the dagger made in a hurry on the necks of the two captives, and asked in a cold voice, "Are there more people in your hunting team than our people?" Tell the truth, otherwise I will kill you!"
After Chen Xu finished speaking, all the ape-men shouted one after another, and showed their fangs at the two captives on the ground, making the two ape-men who had originally shown joy tremble for a while, and couldn't help but lie on the ground again.
However, this intimidation is useful, although the ape does not have the concept of quantity in his heart, but he also knows how much it is.
At the critical moment of life and death, two captives who were not influenced by the slightest concept of loyalty did not hesitate to betray the tribe, but because of the simple relationship of language, they did not really reveal much information.
However, from this, Chen Xu still got the information he wanted, that is, the number of hunting team warriors in this tribe was much more than he imagined, so that the more than twenty of them could not be compared with the number of warriors in this tribe at all, which could be judged from the gestures of the two captives from time to time.
"Good guy, I caught a big guy, I just lack manpower, I'm really sleepy and someone sent a pillow, just in time!"
With a low chuckle, Chen Xu questioned the two captives carefully again, and confirmed that there were indeed several of their hunting teams, but the team where the two captives belonged was the one that harvested the King Kong that was torn to pieces and returned to the tribe early.
The two captives were separated from the team because they were carrying King Kong's head, which made it difficult to walk, and because they wanted to step on some wild fruits in the jungle.
As a result, they were unfortunately caught by Chen Xu's men, and I have to say that their luck is indeed not very good!
According to their confessions, the direction of hunting to the west was not in their plan, and according to the wise men of their tribe, the jungle to the west was full of jungle lords, not a place where they could hunt.
Usually they come out of the valley and walk through the jungle to the north, where their main hunting ground is.
It was now that a rare wind blew in the jungle, and the smell of blood spread to the mouth of the valley, and it was because of the smell of blood in the wind that the captain of their hunting party decided to go and investigate, and found the pit, and the King Kong torn to pieces in the pit.
So, there is the current scene!
"The place where I came from is still a relatively dangerous place, no wonder there are some terrible things around, it turns out that this is not a place where normal people should stay!"
Nodding a little suddenly, Chen Xu finally found a reason for the existence of those terrifying jungle overlords, perhaps, it was not that the Stone Age was too terrifying, but that he came to the forbidden area.
Of course, now this idea is just a guess, and it is not accurate, because, even that kind of overlord saber-toothed tiger has appeared, what can a little jungle overlord represent?
Throwing these thoughts out of his mind and thinking about it, Chen Xu quickly judged that for a long time, the people of this tribe would not come to this dense forest, because this valley was heading south, and from this place, all the way to the south, was the dense forest where they were now.
Passing through this dense forest, bypassing several areas, there is the meadow between the jungles, and from the meadow belt to the east, you can see that they have arranged traps, and from the pits, through several dense forests, until the west, is their base hill.
According to the two captives, they would not have gone to the pasture at all, because from time to time there would be a terrifying presence there.
This solved a question in Chen Xu's heart, and at the same time, it also made him see an opportunity, of course, that question is that for so long, the people in the two tribes have not discovered each other's existence, and now it seems that it is a little passing by.
However, what made Chen Xu happy was that fortunately the two tribes did not meet each other, otherwise the tribe he was currently in would be devoured without any resistance, and at that time, what was waiting for him, the traverser, might not be the body of an ape, but a stinky and hard stone!
A chuckle appeared at the corner of his mouth, and with a greeting, Chen Xu called the ape-man captain in front of him and ordered him to lead half of the warriors in the hunting team to the hill of the tribe's base and bring all the ape-men on the mountain over.
He also instructed the captain of the ape-man to pay attention to all the bamboo spears and stone tools on the mountain, and bring some roasted horned antelope, because there would be a big battle to be fought later.
Ape Man No. 1 was responsible for leading the rest of the hunting team of warriors, holding two captives, waiting for the arrival of the tribesmen on the edge of the pasture, taking a rest by the way, and recuperating for the future battle.
As for himself, he has more important tasks to do.
The ape-man language is too simple, although he got some news about this tribe from the mouths of the two captives, but it is very vague, he is always relieved if he does not investigate it himself, all kinds of signs show that although this tribe cannot be said to be very strong, but it is not weak!
To tell the truth, this is the first formed tribe he has encountered since he crossed over, and the other tribes, whether they are the tribes he crossed over, or the tribes of the ape-man captain, who almost all starved to death, in the true sense, are not ape-man tribes at all, at best, they are just some survivors who have fled.
Naturally, Chen Xu didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, this time, he was more cautious than fighting against that King Kong, he understood that if he used it well, this was an excellent opportunity to expand his strength, and when the time came, with sufficient manpower, he didn't need to be so careful about what he did, and if he didn't use it well, it was likely that he would even have to get in.
Straighten up his body and hand over bulky and inconvenient things such as bamboo spears and stone tools to Ape Man No. 1 to carry, while Chen Xu was carrying a long bow on his back, a long arrow across his waist, and two scimitars made of King Kong canine teeth in his hand.
Almost in a few breaths, Chen Xu passed through the crack more than ten meters long and came to an open place, from here, the cliffs on both sides began to expand to both sides.
The open canopy also appeared in front of him, and the dense forest on both sides of the cliff was also revealed, but at this time, Chen Xu didn't dare to look more, lest the ape tribe find his traces.
He quickly lowered his body, his internal breath circulating in his body, and the whole person flashed into the long group of artemisia grass in the valley like a hunting lynx.
Maybe it's because it hasn't rained for a long time, or maybe it's because this place is constantly exposed to the sun, as soon as he enters the long group of artemisia grass, there is a slight creaking sound from the soles of Chen Xu's feet.
After a moment's pause, he was surprised to find that the ground of these artemisia grasses was covered with dry branches, and most of the parts on them were dry, but they only retained a trace of freshness at the top, which seemed to still prompt life to continue to extend into the sky to touch the sun's glory.
Standing in the group of artemisia grass, with a place to hide, Chen Xu was no longer busy moving forward, but poked his head out and carefully checked the surrounding situation.
There is no trace of the ape-man tribe here, only a vast artemisia grass, it is estimated that there are no herbivores to arrive here, and the artemisia grass here is a little too dense.
Starting from the opening of the valley, it stretched to the extreme distance, even at the end of Chen Xu's sight, it was still a gray patch, full of the territory of the Artemisia grass group.
