Chapter 36: The Old Ape-Man

"It's this old guy, it seems that he really has some weight!"

With a moving expression, Chen Xu dragged the panting ape-man aside and threw it to the left, and suddenly the three ape-man warriors who had been preparing for a long time immediately pounced, pulling the arms, pulling the legs, and locking the throats, and soon, they dragged the somewhat dazed ape-man to the left.

There, a group of apes were waiting with ropes, and when they saw the prey coming, they immediately followed Chen Xu's instructions, and several people moved together, tying him up in a knot and even stuffing a few rotten leaves in his mouth, which was of course taught by Chen Xu.

The moment the ape man was swept out, Chen Xu clearly saw the appearance of the first prey, he was the pampered old guy in the previous tribe.

As the old ape-man roared excitedly, the other apes in the crevice of the mountain moved faster and faster, and they had no idea that the old man had been reduced to a prisoner after the excitement.

The second ape-man walked out, took a greedy breath, and was thrown to the left by Chen Xu, and the three warriors who had been prepared for a long time immediately rushed over, dragged it to the back, and tied it up.

Along with the second ape-man, there was another ape-man, who was thrown to the right by the force of the ape-man one, and there, naturally, there were also three warriors waiting for him, quickly dragging him to the right and tying him up.

After that, the assembly line was completely operational, and one by one, ape-men threw themselves into the cracks of the mountain, and were constantly thrown to the sides, tied up, and gagged.

In the end, the terrifying waves of fire almost completely submerged the valley, and even the temperature in the cracks of Taniguchi, where no artemisia grass grew at all, was terrifyingly high.

Even if an ape man finds out that something is wrong, he has no choice at this time, he can only run out as soon as possible, just like Jiang Taigong fishing in his previous life, everyone is willing to take the bait!

Half an hour later, counting the members of the fifteen hunting parties, all the one hundred and ten ape-men of the new tribe had been captured, divided into two parts, and piled up on the clearing between the valley mouth and the dense forest.

At this time, the fire in the valley is getting bigger and bigger, and there is no other scene except for a fiery red, and the black smoke on the valley is also completely shrouded in the entire valley floor, I believe that even if any living beings survive and are not burned to death by the fire, they will be suffocated to death by the black smoke.

Seeing that there were no more ape-men coming out, Chen Xu understood that there should be only one hundred and ten ape-men in this tribe, and even if there were any more, they would not be able to live at all, so he ordered the ape-men in his tribe to leave the mouth of the valley.

As time passed, the temperature here became higher and higher, and now it was estimated to be forty or fifty degrees, and the ape-men had been scratching their ears and cheeks uncomfortably, and this time they had an order, so they naturally quickly withdrew.

Ordered people to get one hundred and ten apes with a look of joy and horror on their faces, and put them in the open area on the edge of the valley mouth, Chen Xu arranged for more than a dozen apes to guard them with weapons in hand, and then ordered the ape-man No. 1 to bring the old man over, and he was now a little interested in this old man.

The old fellow was obviously different from the other apes, and when he was brought to him, he quickly understood the identity of the man in front of him, and his eyes were rolling wildly, and he did not know what he was thinking.

Untying the old ape's body and taking away the rotten leaves from the old man's mouth, Chen Xu instructed the others to go to the side to be on guard, while he looked the old ape man up and down quite playfully, and gradually, a smile appeared on his face.

Under Chen Xu's forced gaze, shrouded by an aura like a jungle overlord, the old man seemed quite uncomfortable, and his whole body began to tremble constantly, as if he didn't know where to block his body with his hands, and escaped the little sheep under the persecution of a big bad wolf, full of powerlessness and weakness.

"Okay, let me introduce myself, I'm the leader of the Vulcan tribe, Vulcan! What is your tribe called? What's so special about you?"

Looking at the trembling old ape-man with a smile, Chen Xu directly pulled out a vajra dagger from his waist, put it on the old ape-man's neck, and said, "See, this is a weapon made of the teeth of the jungle overlord, I can even kill the jungle overlord, what is your tribe?"

"Say it, or I wouldn't mind killing you!"

With a slight force on his arm, the tip of the sharp vajra dagger sank into the old ape-man's neck, and a trace of blood flowed straight down the ape-man's thick hair.

With a frightened wail, a sense of fear instantly burst out in the old ape-man's eyes, and he shouted and shouted in a simple ape-man language, answering Chen Xu's question one after another.

Obviously, this old ape-man is different from the other apes, and his answers are very methodical, unlike other apes, if you can't get to the point, they don't know how to answer at all.

In about a quarter of an hour, under the threat of the dagger in Chen Xu's hand, the old ape-man roughly explained the situation in the tribe, although because of the ape-man's simple language, many things were plausible, but the general meaning was clearly conveyed.

This tribe may have survived thanks to the valley, and in the vague expression of the old ape-man, it may be called the valley tribe.

The tribe has been living here for many years, and speaking of which, Chen Xu's tribe and the tribe of the ape-man captain are the outsiders here, while the valley tribe is the natives of this area.

After countless years of exploration, they knew more about the local terrain than the other apes, so they were able to know where the danger was, where it was safe, where it was the hunting ground of the jungle lords, and where the jungle could survive.

The old ape man himself is a wise man in the tribe, because his ancestors have mastered a little knowledge of herbs, he can relieve the pain of an injured person, and he can be regarded as a witch doctor in the tribe.

Because the custom of totem worship in the Stone Age had not yet arisen at this time, or because the valley tribe was too closed, the old man's identity in the tribe was only a little unique, and he did not become the spokesman of the gods, but he could obtain prey without going out to hunt.

Other than that, there is nothing special.

However, as a wise man, in the hunting activities, he gradually mastered the right to arrange the hunting range of the hunting team.

And because he lived the longest and knew the most about the surrounding jungle, the hunting team he arranged was able to obtain the most prey with the least damage almost every time.

Over time, his prestige gradually increased, and because he knew a few medicinal herbs, his status in the tribe was able to reach his current status.

"I didn't expect it to be a witch doctor, it looks like my IQ is quite high!"

With a glimmer of light in his eyes, Chen Xu's heart moved, and he realized that maybe he had found a talent, a talent who could take on teaching knowledge to other apes.

Just compared the old ape-man with other ape-men, but Chen Xu felt a little strange in his heart, because the difference in IQ between the two was really big.

If the IQ of the old ape-man has reached the level of a child of twelve or thirteen years old, then the other apes have only reached the level of a child of ** years old.

In addition, Chen Xu also found that although the ape people in his tribe may not be as good as the Upper Valley tribe, they are much stronger in wisdom.

"Is there anything else in there that can't be said?"

His mind moved slightly, looking at the old ape man in front of him, Chen Xu had an idea in his heart, but whether it was correct or not, he would only know if he tried it.

Thinking of this, Chen Xu directly took out two gold crystals from his neck, and in front of the old ape-man, he fully displayed it, and said, "Your tribe also has a long history, then, I believe you must know this thing, don't you know that there are inheritance crystals in your tribe?"

As soon as these words came out, combined with the flickering crystal in Chen Xu's hand, the old ape-man immediately understood what Chen Xu meant, and when he saw it like this, he couldn't take his eyes off anymore, only to see his eyes glare, revealing a look of disbelief, and then trembling and stretching out his hands, as if he wanted to touch this crystal.

However, because of Chen Xu's existence, after this old ape-man stretched out his hand several times, he shrank back tremblingly, with his IQ, it was obvious that he was now a prisoner, and the one in front of him could control his life and death at any time, so he didn't dare to go too far.

"It seems that you are gone, and sure enough, evolution really has something to do with this crystal!"

With a sigh, the palm of his hand was withdrawn, and the crystal was brought to his neck again, Chen Xu slapped the old ape man who was in confusion to the ground, made him sober up for a moment, and asked, "Say, tell everything you know about the inheritance crystal, otherwise, you know." ”

This time, the old ape-man was much more active, and after looking at Chen Xu's neck several times, and being knocked to the ground by Chen Xu mercilessly, the old ape-man finally realized who was the boss here, so he honestly began to compare.

However, in Chen Xu's opinion, this old guy's expression was very different from just now, just now it was completely the standard demeanor of a captive with intelligence, but what is it now?

The demeanor of a traitor, a captive who saw hope?

Regarding the old guy's suddenly positive attitude, as well as the excitement on his face, Chen Xu, a person with a sound mind, had long been suspicious in his heart.

After a while, the old ape-man told him about the crystals, which was similar to what Ape One and Captain Ape had said, except that the old ape-man knew a little more.

It turns out that in this jungle, if there are a small number of apes, it doesn't matter if there are inheritance crystals or not, but if the number of tribes expands and reaches a specified limit, if the leader does not have inheritance crystals, then it will encounter a catastrophe and unpredictable dangers will come.
