Chapter 135: The Authority of the Tiger King
More than 80 adult Eden tigers sit around the stone pier in the center of the cave, as if they are holding some meeting, and the "host" of the meeting seems to be the "juvenile" Eden tiger.
Joseph was silent for a while, then spoke: "Brain axe? Are you a brain axe? ”
When the "boy" Eden Tiger heard Joseph's words, he suddenly let out a "woohoo! This was followed by a "grunt" sound.
Some of the Eden Tigers who were originally sitting in front of the stone pier immediately gave way to a passage.
Then the "boy" Eden Tiger jumped up, rushed to Joseph's feet in an instant, walked around Joseph twice, and then rubbed his head against the other's calves like a kitten, and shouted: "Yes! Brain axe, brain axe! ”
Sahu's eyes widened at this time, and he said, "This, this guy can learn human words?" ”
Joseph put the gun back on his back, pinched his nose, squatted down and stroked the back of the neck of the brain axe, and said, "I don't know, I have never seen the brain axe before, and even the Eden Tiger I have encountered has this skill." ”
Next, the axe opened its four-petal mouth, tugged at Joseph's trouser leg, and turned to walk back.
The three of them hurried to follow.
After the Eden tigers in front of the stone pier got out of the way, Joseph was able to discover that a square groove more than a meter wide had been carved into the ground directly in front of the stone pier.
Inside the groove are some charcoal ashes from the burning, as well as a stone pot.
Nearby, there was a large pile of neatly cut wood and some branches with their leaves removed, as well as a wooden drill for making fire, and a backpack made of platypus hide, black on the outside and white on the inside.
Joseph looked at the simple fire-making tool he had made, as well as the backpack and other objects, and seemed to understand something.
Seeing Joseph looking at the above thing in a daze, the cerebellar axe shook his head and "purred".
After hearing this, the female Eden Tiger, who looked like an elderly woman standing on one side, hurriedly walked to the firewood pile, squatted down, and then raised her two front paws and began to "grab" the firewood one by one and throw it into the square groove.
Joseph squinted his eyes and looked closely, and it turned out that the Eden Tiger's sharp claws could move up and down freely, and combined with its thick forepaws, it could grasp some objects like a human.
After the elderly female Eden Tiger had thrown a dozen pieces of firewood and some branches, the head axe nodded, walked into the groove, used her mouth and claws together, carefully folded the branches into thin strips, and then stacked the firewood into a pile.
Then grab a piece of wood, use the bone spurs on your tail to cut it, cut out the thin wood chips, and use the bone spurs to slowly gather these wood chips onto a horizontal piece of wood.
Then he walked to the side of his backpack and picked up the drill wood fire tool and returned to the groove.
Sahu said at this time: "Let's go up and help, isn't there a ready-made lighter, it's so troublesome to drill wood and start a fire." ”
Joseph waved his hand and said, "No, the Brain Axe is so young, but why does it look like their leader?" There must be some background or reason for this. ”
Mike said, "Boss, you mean that this little guy can make fire, causing those Eden Tigers to crown him king?" ”
Joseph said: "It is very likely, so we need to maintain the absolute authority of the Brain Axe and stabilize this big gang of black guys. ”
Sahu said: "What's the use of that, we have all escaped safely, or is it the right thing to find a way to return to the base to seize power, what is the inside of the Eden Tigers, who is their boss, what do we care about so much?" ”
"The Eden Tiger is one of the more intelligent species I've ever seen on this planet, and there's no evidence that the Trojan has a higher IQ than theirs," Joseph said. ”
Mike said, "I see, if a large number of Eden Tigers join us, then..."
Sa Hu rubbed his hands and said: "I don't know if there are more of the same kind of these guys in other places, if it is thousands of Eden Tigers, then the combat power is not ordinarily strong!" ”
Mike said: "But we are facing a modern human army, so it is safer to take back the command of the advance army, or sneak back to the base to outwit it." ”
Joseph said: "I have always believed that the barrel of a gun is a source of power, and that the Eden Tiger could drill wood for fire, and that he could certainly use a gun or other modern tools. ”
Sahu said, "Can't you? Look at the limbs and the claws..."
Joseph said, "What if we made a gun specifically for their bodies? ”
Mike said: "Yes, the boss is a top scientist, mining and smelting iron here, it used to be just three of us, just brains, it was an impossible task." It's different now, you see, so many strong laborers! I think it's achievable to even build a computer. ”
At this time, the brain axe had already lit the pile of firewood, illuminating the cave more transparently.
All the Eden Tigers present saw the bonfire rise, let out a "grunt" sound in unison, and then bowed their heads to the Brain Axe.
With a smug look in his eyes, Brain Axe shook his head and tail, and made a "grunt" sound.
After the large group of Eden Tigers heard the command of the Brain Axe and bowed down to them again, most of the Eden Tigers walked out of the cave one after another, leaving only the six Eden Tigers who had gone to meet the three before, the elderly female Eden Tiger, and a few who seemed to be guards or slaves.
After a few more moments, a sturdy male Eden Tiger emerged from a dark corner deep in the cave with a Miti corpse in his mouth.
When it threw Mitti in front of everyone, the Brain Axe cried out in Joseph's tone: "Meat, meat, roast!" ”
Sahu said: "What a smart little fellow, I'm really hungry." ”
Mike drew his dagger and walked over to Mitti to begin peeling and cutting the raw meat, while Sahu walked over to the pile of branches and picked up long branches for roasting.
The brain axe bit Joseph's trouser leg again, and then returned to the stone pier and jumped up and squatted easily.
Joseph smiled, walked to the edge of the stone pier, climbed up with all his might, reflexively hung his legs outside the stone pier and sat down, and said while stroking the brain axe with one hand, "I have a bolder idea." ”
Sahu said as he broke the branches, "Boss, you don't plan to do any more adventures. ”
Mike skinned Mitti and said, "You coward, for the sake of the boss, we should go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire." ”
Joseph said, "I mean the invisible octopus. ”
Sahu said: "Boss, do you still want to co-opt those slippery and invisible guys? ”
Mike said: "When we rushed out of the gap in the green wall in the deep ditch, the Eden Tigers could rush out without hindrance with a roar, combined with the scene they just appeared in front of us when we were being chased by the beasts, it can be seen from a few points that those invisible octopuses are very afraid of the Eden Tigers, so it is not impossible to subdue those invisible guys for our use." ”
