The civilization of the Vulcan Kingdom was completely established, and the rest of the development and conquest did not need Chen Xu to worry more than that, and the Vulcan Kingdom began to move forward in this boundless land, and launched a crazy expansion.

One tribe after another fell under the iron hooves of the Vulcan Kingdom, and countless inheritance tokens frantically gathered towards Chen Xu, in this case, Chen Xu began to shift his attention from the development of the tribe to the increase in cultivation, and began to work hard to cultivate and strive for further progress.

With the Overlord Sabertooth Tiger by his side, Chen Xu has a very mellow control over the realm in front of him, and by competing with the Overlord Sabertooth Tiger from time to time, Chen Xu's combat power has made great progress compared to before.

Moreover, Chen Xu found that it seemed that in the fierce battle, his absorption of those golden energies would be much faster than in the meditation state, that is, in the battle, his cultivation actually increased faster than when he was not fighting.

This discovery immediately made Chen Xu excited, so the bitter words of the overlord saber-toothed tiger Dabai and the fire lion Dahong came.

Da Bai actually doesn't care, after all, it is it who abused Chen Xu, and the fire lion is a little sad, because compared with Chen Xu, it is obviously it who has been abused.

During this time, the fire lion was in dire straits, but under Chen Xu's tempering, the strength of the fire lion has also made great progress, and it has gone beyond the scope of the jungle overlord and advanced to the level of the jungle guardian.

On its neck, a ring of golden hair appeared, and from a distance, it looked like an unknown wreath.

However, it is unknown how much of this is due to the relationship between the aura vortex of the Fire God Kingdom.

With continuous tempering, Chen Xu's own cultivation also began to improve by leaps and bounds, and soon reached the edge of the Gangqi Dacheng, and it only took an opportunity to reach the point of the Gangqi Dacheng and enter the eighth-layer realm of the True Qi.

Just when Chen Xu wanted to retreat and practice penance, the Toba Ape Man suddenly visited, and Chen Xu was a little strange about the Toba Ape Man who suddenly came.

After the Vulcan Kingdom was completely established, the Toba Ape Man, as the patriarch of the Toriyama Branch canonized by the kingdom, had a variety of affairs, responsible for the development of the Toriyama Branch of the Vulcan Kingdom, and cooperated with other branches in the kingdom, etc., the time was very tight, and it could be described as the word busy and unable to find the north.

It can be said that the Vulcan Kingdom is in a period of rapid development, and the various branches that make up the Vulcan Kingdom are also in a state of intense development, and every ape has a complicated matter, eager to break a time in half to use, whether it is an army or a locality.

In the current Vulcan Kingdom, only Chen Xu, the shopkeeper, is relatively leisurely.

The rest of the ape, from the most basic miner to the top ape-man aristocracy who oversaw the affairs of a branch like the Toba ape-man, were busy on all fours, wanting to make some achievements in order to gain further qualifications.

Chen Xu didn't expect that at such a busy time, his old subordinate would have time to come to him, which made him a little curious.

After giving a brief salute, the two sides sat down, Chen Xu first looked at the expression on the face of the bird feather ape, but did not find any anxiety, but there was a little doubt and hesitation in it.

Expecting that it was not a big deal, Chen Xu also relaxed, waved his hand, and asked with a smile, "How are the affairs of the Bird Mountain Branch progressing?

"Great God of Fire, everything is fine with the Toriyama Branch, and all affairs have made great progress, and I am not here for the Toriyama Branch, but for some strange apes who have appeared in the Branch. ”

The Toba ape-man immediately replied.

Although Chen Xu did not set any bowing ceremony, but only stipulated the bowing between the upper and lower levels, but the bird feather ape man did not dare to slack off, now he seems to be in power, in fact, he only needs Chen Xu's words, and his position as the head of the branch will be lost.

In the entire Vulcan Kingdom, it is neither the head of the military nor the local dignitaries who controls all the power, but the great Vulcan Chen Xu.

As a founding father, his majesty is untouchable, and although he doesn't show it in ordinary times, it doesn't mean that apes don't need to be respected.

"Oh!?strange ape-man?"

Raising his eyebrows, Chen Xu did not explore the Tao in this, but quickly shifted his attention to the question itself, and said, "Is it an ape man from other tribes who came to take refuge? Isn't there a lot of precedent before?

"I understand all this, but the problem is that there are too many apes who have come to take refuge recently, and what is even more strange is that these apes do not seem to come from the tribes of the infinite earth, they seem to appear on this land out of thin air. ”

His face changed, and the bird feather ape man seemed to have thought of something terrifying, looked at Chen Xu, and said with a wry smile, "Great fire god, I always feel as if something is going to happen, there are too many of these apes, there used to be only a few dozen apes a day, but now it's good, they have become hundreds." ”

"If it continues to develop like this, I'm afraid it won't be long before my Bird Mountain branch alone can receive thousands of ape-men every day, and you also know that there is not much food in the boundless land this season, so the question is, so many apes, what do they usually eat?!"

If Chen Xu was a little relaxed when the bird feather ape man said it at the beginning, then after he finished speaking, Chen Xu was a little frightened.

Through the words of the Toba Ape Man, Chen Xu suddenly thought of a question that he had long been aware of, but had been avoiding intentionally or unintentionally, that is, is there too many apes on this boundless land!?

Yes, what frightened Chen Xu was not the situation that the Toba ape man said, but the current tribal situation in this boundless land, not to mention the far away, just talk about this marginal area, just talk about this area within a radius of a hundred miles under the control of the Fire God Kingdom.

Although he had not done a detailed census, according to the approximate population of each tribe, Chen Xu could still deduce how many apes there were in the territory of the Vulcan Kingdom.

According to his estimates, even if the number of apes in the entire Vulcan Territory did not reach 100,000, it would not be much worse.

So the question is, there are 100,000 apes gathered in a radius of 100 miles, is this population density too great?

Even in the great China of later generations, a population gathering place like this was already able to constitute a county seat.

Don't forget, this was in the Stone Age, and the standard of production and living of the apes here was very low, or even none.

In this era, the mortality rate of newborn apes is very high, even in the current Vulcan Kingdom, the mortality rate of newborns can only be limited to about 30%, and there is no way to reduce it.

In this case, coupled with the reasons of various diseases and dangerous living environments, counting the terrifying jungle overlords, the loss rate of the apes is so high, even in the Vulcan Kingdom, which has a perfect bronze civilization and even reached the feudal civilization in some places, it is a bit shocking.

Although he didn't calculate it in detail, Chen Xu also understood that the Vulcan Kingdom could develop to this point, and all the bones of the apes were buried under its foundation.

If you count the dead enemies, if nothing else, it is estimated that the loss rate of five or six thousand apes is quite normal, and it is even likely to reach the 10,000 mark.

Even so, the Vulcan Kingdom has now reached the point where the population is almost 100,000, with the consciousness of Chen Xu's post-modern people and the emergence of various industries, the Vulcan Kingdom can barely feed these people with a radius of 100 miles, so what about the other tribes?

According to the information obtained by Chen Xu, the tribes in the Boundless Land will only be larger, but they do not have the corresponding productivity.

Their production and living capacity is simply equivalent to nothing compared to the Vulcan Kingdom, in this case, how can they support such a huge ape tribe?

It seems that all the problems are connected, and they are completely connected to what the Toba ape-man is talking about now.

In the Stone Age, where the rate of damage was extremely high, if you wanted to maintain such a huge number, there was only one way, and that was to constantly replenish new blood to maintain the balance between death and survival.

"Grandma, how do I feel like I'm entering a farm, is it really a clone!?"

Let the bird feather ape man leave first, Chen Xu frowned, but he was really a little surprised when he sat on the wooden bed, this situation was obviously beyond his expectations, and at the same time solved some doubts in his heart.

After all, according to the historical records of later generations, the survival time of ape-man has lasted for millions of years, and its footprints have spread all over the world.

Chen Xu, who had never experienced the life of the Stone Age before, did not understand the hardships involved, but after personally experiencing a small beast tide and seeing the jungle overlord and the jungle guardian and the power of those terrifying insects, Chen Xu understood how difficult it was to maintain a million years of survival with the strength of an apeman, and how exaggerated.

For these ape-man tribes, in the Stone Age, even tens of thousands of people could not change anything, and if they were accidentally targeted by a jungle guardian, it would only disappear.

In this way, the fundamental reason why the apes can survive for millions of years and even become more and more prosperous is that they have a big hand behind them to help them, otherwise it only takes a little accident to completely wipe out the entire ape class.

It seems that now Chen Xu has seen the traces of this big hand.

Thinking of that weird and mysterious person, Chen Xu couldn't help but move again in his heart, and secretly shook his head and said, "I just don't know if all this has anything to do with him, maybe he is the one who knows everything." ”

"Or is he one of the participants!?"

Standing up, Chen Xu immediately left his residence, took the Overlord Sabertooth Tiger and the Fire Lion, and set out on the journey to the Bird Mountain Branch, this time, he had to check it himself. If things are really as Toba Ape Man said, then it is really serious, and he must make due preparations as soon as possible.
