Chapter 121: Seeking War and Windfall
"Did you find out?"
In the wooden house, Chen Xu slowly opened his eyes from the meditation, looked at the somewhat restless Toba ape man in front of him, and asked directly.
"It's clear, the sulfur was indeed obtained from the core clan land of the Red Dragon Tribe, but there were some mistakes in the previous exploration, this sulfur was not mined by them from other places, but dug out of the cave in the core clan land, but it is said that it is the living area of the Red Dragon, and we dare not enter it. ”
The Toba ape people hurriedly replied, after the class was clarified, while they realized the benefits of their status, they also wanted to go further more attentively, and pleasing Chen Xu and letting Chen Xu appreciate it became the only channel for upgrading.
"Where does the red dragon live, and is there a hot spring?"
Frowning, Chen Xu let out a sigh of relief, and then asked, since he ordered people to track down the source of the sulfur, the news that the ape-man got has been relatively vague.
For a while, the apes found that the apes of the Chilong tribe who had returned from a distant region were carrying sulfur, so they judged that the sulfur came from the depths of the vast earth, but after checking it, they found no trace of the sulfur, but were almost dumplings made by another group of apes.
At this point, the investigation has reached an impasse, and Chen Xu has been focusing on the development of the tribe during this time, but he has put this matter aside for the time being.
Moreover, he had a strong feeling that his cultivation was about to break through the fourth-layer realm and reach the fifth-layer realm, so most of his energy was put on cultivation, and he paid much less attention to the matter of sulfur.
He didn't expect that after the tribe had developed thoroughly, the Toba ape people would bring this news, which could be regarded as a surprise.
"I don't know this, these tribes regard their core clan land as very important, even if they traded in the past, they can only walk according to their arrangement, otherwise they will definitely be killed by all the apes, but it seems that in the depths of the Red Dragon Tribe, there is often hot steaming out, I don't know if it's a hot spring. ”
The Toba ape-man thought for a moment, then told what he knew.
"Well, it looks like there's a hot spring, but is it really an active volcano?
With a slight brow, a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Xu's mouth, confirming that the sulfur was from the Red Dragon Tribe.
It's just that thinking of the fire lion group of the Fire Lion Tribe, Chen Xu couldn't help but think of the Red Dragon of the Red Dragon Tribe, pursed his lips, and said, "After such a long time of communicating with each other, have any clansmen ever seen the so-called Red Dragon?"
Scratching the hair on his neck, the Toba Ape Man thought for a while, and replied with some uncertainty, "As far as I know, it seems that there is a squad leader in the army who accidentally saw the Red Dragon in the Red Dragon Tribe, but what he saw was a red flesh-crowned snake, but according to him, as soon as this snake came out, all the Red Dragon Ape People fell to the ground." ”
"Afterwards, the team leader got a lot of news from the mouths of several red dragon apes around, they said that this is the red dragon, has been guarding the underground of the core tribe, is the messenger of the gods, has infinite divine might, and even the apes said that although the great fire god can defeat the fire lion, but he will definitely not be able to defeat the red dragon. ”
After speaking, the bird feather ape man glanced at Chen Xu quite carefully, after all, words like this sometimes shouldn't be said, but he and Chen Xu have known each other for a long time, but they don't have to scruple.
"I see!"
Nodding, Chen Xu thought for a while and said, "In this way, you immediately pass on my order, go down and mobilize the troops, and let the ones on the Red Dragon side also start to act." ”
"Yes!"
The Toba ape-man quickly stood up, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and quickly turned away.
"Red Dragon Tribe, something interesting!"
Seeing the bird feather ape man leave, a smile flashed in Chen Xu's eyes, and he walked out of the wooden house in a flash, and began to arrange the next action with his own hands.
In the area of the Red Dragon Tribe area, a thin ape-man was wandering boredly on the grassland, glancing in the direction behind him from time to time, where several fierce ape-men were lying in ambush.
It's winter, and almost all beasts are lurking, but there are exceptions, not all beasts can store enough fat to survive the winter, so they can only desperately hunt for food before the harsh winter comes, and sometimes they have to rush out even if they know it's a trap.
At this moment, this poor weak ape-man is a bait to tempt the beasts, the bait of the strong hunting party behind him, after the germination of the class, these already weak ape-men are even more pitiful, in order to be able to get a piece of food, in order to survive, they have no choice but to act as bait.
The emaciated ape-man walked tremblingly on the prairie, looking around vigilantly from time to time, praying in his heart not to touch the beast, and at the same time, praying that he would be able to meet the beast.
This mood is contradictory and complicated, not being able to touch the beast means that he does not have to risk his life, but it also means that this trip will be empty-handed, I believe that not only will there be no food at that time, but the hunting captain, who is desperate to exchange a sharp weapon from the Vulcan tribe, may even tear him to pieces.
"It would be nice if I could be replaced into the Vulcan tribe!"
A hint of longing flashed in the eyes of the thin ape-man, but unfortunately, he just thought about it, and now, the class system of the Vulcan tribe has been completely established, and the leaders of other tribes have competed to follow suit, and the result is that the tiger cannot become an anti-dog, causing a series of problems, the most important problem is that the ape-man with power is crazy to use the power in his hands to make profits for himself.
One of the most important is the ape-man trade, and the leaders only feel that one is in a trance, good fellow, and when they look at it again, the people in the tribe are reduced by one-fifth, and all of them have been exchanged for pottery and salt, and have become the private property of those in power.
This really frightened them, so they immediately issued a new order, without the permission of the tribal leader, those who dared to trade apes without permission would be besieged by the six tribes.
As soon as this order came out, the Vulcan tribe also adjusted its policy one after another, and no longer accepted the trade of apes who did not belong to the tribal organization, which made these apes who had just risen to nobility cry out for pity.
However, at this time, the Vulcan tribe was equivalent to the United States in later generations, and even much stronger than the United States, and in the face of the Vulcan tribe's orders, they did not have the courage to disobey them, so they could only exchange other ideas for what they wanted.
As he was walking, the thin ape-man suddenly stumbled and fell directly to the ground, and then his eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost, he looked at the things in front of him, rubbed his eyes fiercely, and after making sure that he was not dreaming, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but shout loudly.
At this time, the other apes, who thought that there were wild beasts, ran out in a few steps, and the first one was a strong man with a hideous expression, and it was the leader of this team who controlled the twenty-five apes in the team.
"What's going on? Huh, what is this?"
The sturdy ape-man squad leader did not notice the existence of the beast, and was frowning when he suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood, and when he looked further, he found more than two dozen ape-man corpses.
"This is the Vulcan apeman, huh, this is a caravan!?"
The team leader recognized the identities of these apes at a glance, because in the entire Stone Age, only the Vulcan apes seemed to be fully clothed in leather armor, and then the team leader noticed the huge packages that these apes were carrying, as well as the bronze weapons in their hands that glowed with blue light.
"What's going on?"
Picking up a bronze combat knife, the look of surprise on the squad leader's face faded, and gradually flashed with ecstasy, you must know that this is what he dreamed of, with this, his combat power will be greatly improved, and it is completely possible to go one step further and become the deputy captain.
"Team, captain, so many good things, what should we do?"
The other apes were also stunned, and one by one they circled around these dead Vulcan apes, although they really wanted to hold those elite bronzes in their hands, but before the team leader spoke, none of them dared to do so.
Once the class is generated, among the ignorant primitive tribes, they will only come more crazy and cruel than the civilized Vulcan tribes, and after they enjoy the benefits of privilege, they will go crazy and use all means to maintain this privilege, of course, the most effective means is iron-blooded killing.
Like this ape squad leader, there are not ten restless people who have died at his hands, but eight.
"This group of Vulcan apes must have been killed, and when the other party saw someone coming, they fled before they had time to grab the spoils, which is exactly what cheapened us. ”
The team leader grinned excitedly, and quickly made a seemingly correct judgment, in the face of the huge gain, he simply put aside the doubts that these apes were too thin and did not meet the characteristics of the ape warriors of the Vulcan tribe, and began to seize these good things with one mind.
With these good things, as long as they are delivered to the hands of the people concerned, not to mention the deputy captain, it is the position of the captain, and he can also compete for it.
The team leader thought about it, and made a gesture behind him slightly, and an ape warrior was stunned when he saw this, and then immediately sneered, took a step forward, and slammed down the stone axe in his hand, directly slashing the thin ape-man who was still immersed in surprise to the ground.
"Now, the rest is our own people, strip all these things, and with these, we don't have to worry about it at all this winter. ”
With a smile, the squad leader gave an order, and the surrounding apes pounced like wolves and tigers, and took off all the leather armor on the Vulcan ape.
"Be careful, these things are precious, and if they are broken, you can't afford to take your head!"
In the shouts of the team leader, these apes quickly snatched up the good things, and then quietly returned to the Red Dragon Tribe with the team leader.
Not long after they left, an elite ape-man team of fifty people emerged from behind the grass, and the first brown-haired ape-man spat fiercely and scolded in a low voice, "Rabbit cubs, it's good luck, Lao Tzu has been mixed for so long, and he has a bronze axe of his own, enjoy it, you guys are just a few days." ”
"Let's go, let's tie up some apes, today's mission is not yet complete!"
With a shout, the ape-man team quickly disappeared into the grassland, and night fell, leaving only more than twenty corpses on the field, and the dead eyes of the emaciated ape-man.
