Chapter 10: The Hunting Party, Go!
Calling No. 1 out, Chen Xu spoke an ape-man language that gradually became fluent, and asked him to point out the specific path from this hill to the river bend.
After some careful consideration, for his first hunt as the leader, Chen Xu chose a school of fish that had never been hunted on a large scale in this world.
Looking from the top of the hill where he was standing at the moment, he could clearly see that not far from the hill there was a continuous water belt, this jade-colored water belt meandered through the dense primeval jungle, like a spiritual snake, it was the mother river on which all the beasts in this area depended.
As for whether this river is the Yellow River in the future, Chen Xu has no specific concept, but this small river is not very big, so the possible surname of the Yellow River is relatively small.
Although looking down on this small river from the cliff, the distance does not seem to be far away, but Chen Xu understands in his heart the truth of running a dead horse from Wangshan, and the primeval jungle is full of dangers, and there are many areas that cannot be crossed at all, so it is necessary to detour a considerable distance.
So, in fact, if you want to reach this small river, you don't have three or four hours, don't even think about it!
Speaking of which, this group of apes is also very lucky, the cave they found is not only very safe, but also there are some mountain streams in the cave to seep water, although it is not wide, but it is enough to solve their drinking water problem, which is also the fundamental reason why they can leave the river and survive here.
After receiving Chen Xu's signal, although No. 1 did not understand why his new leader wanted to go to the river where there were many dangers and beasts, he did not dare to express his dissenting opinion.
Through this series of mysterious actions, and Chen Xu's ability to control the flames, this group of apes has gradually connected Chen Xu with various mysterious phenomena in nature.
In other words, Chen Xu has gradually been deified in their hearts now! Chen Xu's title is just like those famous ancestors in ancient China back then, and it is associated with something mysterious.
If Chen Xu inquired carefully now, he would find that in the hearts of these apes, he was already revered as the god of fire, and he had broken away from the category of a simple hunting party leader and became a belief in the hearts of these apes.
As a result, awe gradually permeated the ape-man ranks.
For the first time in this primitive society, Chen Xu penetrated the concept of class into the hearts of these apes, and they understood that the fire god in front of them was essentially different from them, and that was the object they needed to look up to.
No. 1 spoke in a simple ape-man language, and explained to Chen Xu for a long time, and then held a few rough stone tools in his hand and opened the way first.
Compared to the awesome bamboo spears he was carrying behind him, No. 1 still liked the previous weapons in his heart, those were passed down from their ancestors after all, and they had even penetrated into their bones.
If it weren't for the prestige of Chen Xu, the god of fire, who was too high, these apes might not have used more convenient bamboo spears at all, which was a quaint conservative concept.
But now, with the intervention of Chen Xu, the god of fire, this ancient concept is being changed little by little, and I believe that as the power of the bamboo spear is gradually revealed, these people will gradually accept this new thing.
Following No. 1 down the hill cautiously, Chen Xu used this hill as the direction, constantly identifying the surrounding environment and his distance from the hill, and by the way, marked the surrounding danger areas in his heart.
In this vast forest, Chen Xu is already planning to build a map, as long as he has a topographic map, I believe that everything will be simpler, and the dangerous hunting operation will be much safer.
Therefore, every time No. 1 showed a dignified look on his face and cautiously bypassed an area, Chen Xu would ignore No. 1's anxious expression and carefully ask what was here and what was the territory.
Not only that, whenever he left the hunting area of a fierce beast and entered the area of another fierce beast, Chen Xu always used his internal qi, stepped on the towering wild tree of several people's thickness, and rushed directly to the top of the giant tree, standing on the treetops.
There, centered on the hill where everyone started, Chen Xu kept adjusting the shape of the map in his mind while observing, outlining the pieces of land in his heart, and annotating it in his mind to explain what was entrenched on it.
In this way, under the frightened gaze of Ape No. 1, the group of them bypassed the forbidden area infested by several fierce beasts at an extremely slow speed, and after spending four or five hours, they finally heard the sound of rushing water.
At this moment, Chen Xu, who was struggling to memorize the map, suddenly raised his head and looked at the dense forest in front of him, in his senses, a stream of water vapor rushed to his face, and his heart moved, he knew that the river had arrived.
Waving his hand to signal the ape-men to stop, Chen Xu took out the bird eggs he had picked up on the trees along the way from the deerskin package beside him and placed them in the hands of the ape-men, allowing them to hold them alive.
These eggs are all the size of a fist, covered with colorful patterns, Chen Xu, who was a science student in his previous life, could not identify which bird these eggs belonged to, but in his general impression, this kind of bird eggs must not be poisonous.
Along the way, because Chen Xu has light skills, as long as he urges the eagle to soar, even if it is a tall and steep old tree, he can climb it, so after many thefts, the package composed of the huge deer skin taken from the dead deer in the cave around Chen Xu has been completely filled.
Counting the number of bird eggs, the corners of Chen Xu's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, there are a total of ninety-eight of these bird eggs, each of which is the size of two eggs, which can be described as a very rich ingredient.
Thinking of the fried eggs in his previous life, Chen Xu couldn't help swallowing his saliva and licking his tongue, but he missed it very much!
Therefore, Chen Xu carefully instructed the ten assistant apes to take care of the eggs, and then led the four apes in the hunting team to dive into the jungle of Xiaohe Zhizhi.
Arriving here, Chen Xu will not slack off at all, it has been proved that a small river is the lifeline of an ecosystem, and countless wild beasts exist around this small river.
This is especially true in this primitive Stone Age, where many wild beasts roam the river, drinking water, resting, or looking for hunting planes, and in short, the river is the most dangerous area in the whole jungle.
Carefully brushed aside the grass and came to the edge of the river, led by Chen Xu, the five ape-men quietly poked their heads out and watched cautiously.
The four apes such as No. 1 didn't know what the fire god Chen Xu was doing, but this did not prevent them from faithfully carrying out Chen Xu's orders, carefully looking around, alert to imaginary dangers.
