In the early morning, the well-fed and well-fed Vulcan tribe warriors woke up from their deep sleep, opened their eyes one by one, and moved in this strange land.

In the center of the place where the warriors were, in a patch of artemisia grass, Chen Xu also recovered from his meditation, and let out a long breath of white mist like a smoking gun, gathering the rapid flow of true qi in his body into the dantian, feeling that this seemed to be equipped with wings, there was a vigorous agitation aura, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"The barrier between the second layer and the third layer is really too strong, after such a long period of cultivation, I still don't have the slightest certainty of breaking through, it seems that if you want to reach the third layer of cultivation, you still have to rely on the inheritance crystal. ”

With his mind moving, Chen Xu stood up from the invisible place, and while thinking, he looked at the people of the surrounding Black Rock tribe, only to see that after a night's rest, these people also woke up.

Many apes had already come out to fetch firewood for cooking, the curling smoke was rising, and the entire Black Rock tribe was a busy scene, and by the huge bonfire, the leader of Black Rock was already seated, holding a clay bowl at this time, savoring the rich broth inside, and his face showed a little pleasant.

Next to the leader of the Black Rock were the captains of the apemen who were unusually strong, and of course, there was the skinny tribal witch doctor, who was tinkering with something in his small pottery bowl at this time, and his expression was very focused, and he didn't pay attention to the apemen of the Vulcan tribe.

It's just that the sturdy hunting captains looked in the direction of the Fire God tribe from time to time, and their eyes flashed with a glittering light from time to time.

Although the Stone Age ape man may not understand the meaning of this gaze, Chen Xu, a modern person, can feel something strange from it, which is a strong hostility.

"It's time to go, I'm sure they won't be kind enough to leave us for breakfast!"

Pinching his nose and muttering a few words in his heart, Chen Xu stepped out of the range of his tribesmen, walked into the Black Rock tribe, and came to the largest bonfire.

As he approached, the other Black Rock people didn't do anything, but the sturdy apes all looked nervous, and their muscles tensed up, looking a little defensive, and they probably wanted to kill him.

After a night of thinking, several experienced ape-man captains finally came to a conclusion that the dead Black Rock ape-man was not bitten to death by a wild beast, because he did not have even a flesh or two on his body except for the two holes in his neck, so there was only one conclusion, and that was that he died at the hands of the Vulcan tribe ape-man.

Combined with the power of the god of fire described by the Black Rock ape-man, several ape-man captains were eighty percent sure in their hearts that it was the seemingly harmless god of fire in front of them who killed the Black Rock ape-man!

However, with a reprimand from the leader of Black Rock, these hunting captains could only disperse helplessly, and reluctantly left the huge campfire, not knowing what to prepare.

"Great Chief, thank you for your hospitality, but we have been away from the tribe for a long time, and since the transaction has been completed, it is inconvenient to stay longer, I have come to bid you farewell, this transaction is very pleasant, and when we return to the tribe, we will definitely send someone to continue the trade with you. ”

Pretending not to see this scene, Chen Xu smiled, and directly spoke in simple ape-man language, laboriously expressing his meaning to the leader of Black Rock.

Hearing this, the Black Rock Leader's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he didn't mention the death of the Black Rock Ape Man, so naturally he would not stop the Fire God Sect from leaving, and he had already made up his mind that Chen Xu would leave early.

The leader of Heiyan, who had not yet learned the hypocritical etiquette of the later generations, did not even pretend to invite Chen Xu and them to eat before leaving, so he nodded directly and agreed.

Later, Chen Xu gathered the warriors of the Vulcan tribe and escorted the twenty apes of the Black Rock tribe who had been traded, and set out on the road.

When he walked to the place where he had encountered the saber-toothed tiger before, Chen Xu's heart moved slightly, and he ordered the team to pause and wait for him in the same place, while he set off to the place where the saber-toothed tiger was buried, wanting to see the final appearance of this jungle overlord, so that it could be regarded as a tribute.

Just the sight he saw startled him and made his heart flutter and beat non-stop.

"How is this possible? It's gone?!"

Looking at the chaotic pile of stones in front of him, Chen Xu couldn't help but rub his eyes fiercely, turned left and right, and even directly lifted all the thatch on it with his hands, but he still didn't find the huge body of this saber-toothed tiger.

It seemed that the behemoth had disappeared in such an inexplicable manner, leaving only a pile of stones and weeds in its place.

Reaching out and squeezing the red blood stains on the rock, he took it to his nose and smelled it, Chen Xu frowned and muttered, "That's right, this is the blood of that overlord saber-toothed tiger, why is the body gone now? Could it be that it was taken away by some kind of large beast? Or was it taken away by its companions?"

After turning around a few more times, seeing that there was no other gain, Chen Xu could only put the matter aside and ignore it for the time being, he hadn't forgotten that he was still followed by a group of deadly things on this trip.

"I hope you don't get me in trouble, grandma, is this guy really not dead?"

After walking a few steps in place, Chen Xu really couldn't find any trace of other beasts coming here, as if this saber-toothed tiger had disappeared out of thin air.

Unable to help but shake his head, he quickly flashed out of the jungle and joined the large army.

Somehow, this suddenly reminded him of the ghost movies of later generations, although humans have not yet appeared, ghosts should not have been born yet, but this mysterious phenomenon always makes people's hearts chill.

With a few shouts, the entire ape-man queue regrouped and continued in the direction of the Vulcan tribe.

Chen Xu led the warriors of the tribe to quickly advance towards the position of the Vulcan tribe, and among the Black Rock tribe, led by the strong captains of several hunting teams, more than two hundred strong ape warriors had also gathered, and at the front of them was the great Black Rock leader.

At this time, these apes were holding sharp stone tools one by one, and they were murderous, but they did not set off, as if they were waiting for something.

In a short time, a dark shadow flashed in the jungle, the branches parted, and a sturdy ape-man sprang out, approaching the leader of the Black Rock in a few steps, and whispered a few words to him.

After the ape-man finished speaking, the Black Rock Leader's eyes flashed, and with a wave of his big hand, he strode towards the jungle in front of him.

Behind him were several hunting captains who followed closely, and beyond that, there were more than 200 strong ape-man warriors who walked with tigers.

Needless to say, they naturally went for the Vulcan tribe.

After going deep into the dense forest, after walking for a distance of several miles, the warriors of the Black Rock tribe turned left and right, and stopped at the intersection of a beast path.

The leader of Black Rock waved his hand to halt the troops, and a lean ape-man sprang out of the queue behind him, none other than the ape-man witch doctor.

The witch doctor walked to the fork in the road, turned around the big tree at the intersection, as if looking for something, suddenly, a pungent smell came out, his eyes flashed, he lowered his head and touched the tree on the left, and then took a few steps to the black rock leader, and snorted a few times excitedly, and pointed straight to a road on the left.

Nodding in satisfaction, the Black Rock leader let out a low roar, and the entire army moved forward again, pointing to the path pointed out by the witch doctor.

And there, it was the route that Chen Xu led the people of the Vulcan tribe to walk.

When night fell, and in the midst of the firelight, one by one the sturdy apes sat down vigilantly on the ground, and raised the piles of bonfires, and built a place to rest temporarily in the dense forest.

This is the expedition team led by Chen Xu, up to now, they have been walking for a day, and it is already night, and they can't continue to walk at all, so the team stopped.

In the middle of the firelight, surrounded by the apes, was Chen Xu who closed his eyes and meditated.

With a frown, Chen Xu turned around from his contemplation, opened his eyes, waved his hand, and called the super ape-man over and commanded, asking him to pay attention to the fire, no matter when, the fire must not be extinguished.

After the super ape-man understood what he meant, Chen Xu got up and ran into the jungle, this time he wanted to see if the people from the Black Rock tribe had followed.

Although Bai Yueli had rushed out of the team several times, and had already seen several trackers sent by the Black Rock tribe in secret, he was still a little uneasy if he didn't see the large army coming up with his own eyes.

The light work was fully unfolded, and Chen Xu's figure was like a gentle catkins, swaying between the branches, almost not touching the ground at all, and not making any sound, in this dark night jungle, as if a gust of wind was blowing through the trees.

By the time the beast in the jungle reacted, he was left with only a shadow of his back, and his true body was already far away.

An hour later, on a recess in the jungle, Chen Xu stopped his steps, and not far from his hiding place was an open place in the forest, where several bonfires were lit, and faintly human figures were shaking around the bonfires.

By the flickering light of the fire, counting carefully, these figures may be as many as one or two hundred, and those hidden in the darkness have not yet appeared, but I don't know how many there are.

The firelight danced, and the figures were revealed one by one, all of them were stone apes standing on two legs, with a body shape tending forward, and thick body hair, with Chen Xu's eyesight, he could faintly see the conspicuous feather crown among the figures through the cracks in the trees.

That was the emblematic attire of the Black Rock Chief, and naturally, combined with the fact that this place was the path they passed through in vain, the identity of these ape-men was obvious, and they were the trackers of the Black Rock Tribe.

"Sure enough, I caught up, but I didn't expect this Black Rock leader to have such a big hand, the entire Black Rock tribe has more than five hundred apes, including more than two hundred elite warriors, now look at this situation, just in the firelight has reached more than a hundred, plus in the dark, hehe, this time, I'm afraid all of them were sent out. ”

"Even the leader of the Black Rock himself has come out, and the allure of the pottery is really not small, but perhaps, he is also for the inheritance crystal, right?"

Blinking his eyes, Chen Xu thought about it, and did not continue to approach, such a tribe that has lived in the jungle for a long time, there must be more than one sentry in the dark night, if it alarms them, let them take precautions, or let them have scruples and do not continue to chase, it will not be good.

Now that the fact that the Black Rock Tribe had caught up, Chen Xu, who had achieved the expected goal, did not stay longer and returned to the team's settlement according to the original route.

Along the way, he even took the time to check on the poor individual trackers, and even strangled a faint leopard, freeing one of the trackers from the leopard's mouth.

It's just that all this happened quietly, and the trackers were still trembling in the jungle, unaware that their lives had circled in front of the Hades Palace.

There was no word all night, and after dawn, Chen Xu continued to follow the road with the ape-men of the expedition and the twenty ape-men exchanged, and the individual trackers who had been in the jungle all night also regained their strength and continued to get up and track as the morning sun shone down.

With the help of the traces they left behind, the apes of the Black Rock tribe also followed the right route.

In this way, the two troops walked along the same path with an hour's distance from each other, one after the other, and they cooperated quite tacitly, gradually approaching the Vulcan tribe, and of course, gradually approaching the lion and tiger territory!
