Chapter 126: "Understanding"

In the primitive tribe under the banyan tree, most of the apes returned to their homes to rest.

The so-called home is just a small grass hut woven between the "air roots" of the banyan tree with branches and weeds, and it is not separated from the rain or the wind, but even so, the apes are very satisfied.

Near each simple thatched hut, there are scattered large and small rocks and branches, and there is rarely a shadow of food.

"Don't snap your fingers, you'll never be able to count them, can you remember the names of all the people?"

Li Hang inadvertently asked about the number of apes in the tribe. This was so bad that Ah Yan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, counting his fingers and toes, and he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"This, I, I, I remember!" Hearing that there was no need to count, Ah Yan immediately wiped his sweat and got up from the ground. Stumbling and stumbling, he began to read, "Well, there are leaves, flower branches, rotten skins, vines, bats, green roots, ........"

Silently counting in his heart, after the ape leader read more than a hundred names, Li Hang relaxed slightly, at least the minimum number of people needed to complete the task has been reached, then he only needs to protect these apes.

“...... There are also sand, big flies, well, the five little cubs have no names yet. ”

"Well, is that all?" Li Hang paused, looked at him and said, "Is there anything missing or anything else that doesn't have a name?"

"Definitely not, everyone in our Banyan tribe has a name when they grow up, and I remember all of them!" Ah Yan straightened his waist and said proudly, as if he was very proud that he could remember these names.

The last light on the horizon gradually disappeared, replaced by the clear stars, the vast grassland, the inverted night sky, the howl of wild beasts, strange but magnificent.

Li Hang walked unhurriedly in the tribe, and could vaguely hear the sound of snoring coming from the grass huts, and the apes who had to face the crisis all the time knew the importance of recovering their strength, so they basically developed a good habit of sleeping when they said they were sleeping.

After being introduced by the leader A Yan, Li Hang also roughly understood the survival status of the ape tribe.

Prior to this, with the protection of the guardian beast lion king, the new grass huts in the tribe were about to fill the entire banyan forest, and the corresponding increase in population was the increase.

But this kind of seemingly gradual prosperity, in fact, is like the ebb and flow of the tide, if it develops according to the normal situation, the tribe loses the guardian beast, they have to face all kinds of malice in the grassland, and the huge group will inevitably decline in the battle for survival again and again, to the point that only the strong can survive, until the new guardian beast who accepts the inheritance is found.

At that time, they will usher in a new round of prosperity.

In the canopy of the banyan trees on the outskirts of the tribe, there were several ape-men, who stared vigilantly at the grassland at night, even if they were protected by guardian beasts, they did not dare to relax their vigilance at all.

Li Hang turned around a few times, making sure that he had walked through all the corners of the tribe, and then returned to the dwelling place that the apes had prepared for the guardian beast, that is, the earthen platform.

The platform is a gray-red semicircle against the trunk of the banyan tree, where the branches and leaves are the most luxuriant, and even if it rains heavily, it will not be drenched.

It can be seen that when the apes piled up this earthen platform, they took care of it, and there were no too regular stones on the grassland, so they used a few large stones as the base, and then mixed clay with animal fat, bone meal, etc.

Lying on the earthen platform, Li Hang leaned against the banyan tree, the remains of the lion king who had been left on it not long ago had been buried under the tree by the apes, and in their ancestral teachings, even if they starved to death, they could not eat the flesh and blood of the guardian beast.

"Old Banyan Tree, are you there, come out and talk!" the tail patted the bark slightly, such a large banyan tree must know something of interest to him.

But after waiting for a long time, he didn't receive a response from the banyan tree, Li Hang didn't know why, guessing that maybe it was unwilling to communicate.

If you don't want to communicate, forget it!

Rubbing along the trunk of the tree a few times to climb up to the canopy, Li Hang found a thick branch, squatted on it, and began to cultivate in the moonlight.

Silk Yuehua is integrated into the body in cultivation, and every time the "Moon Guiding Thunder Decision" runs for a week, you can feel that the demonic energy is growing at the same time, ** is also faintly increasing, even if the amplitude is very small, but it is also a progress that can be felt.

Nothing was said all night.

In the early morning, Li Hang woke up to a roar, but his keen perception did not indicate danger.

His hazy eyes didn't hurry to open them first, he shook off the dew on his body, supported his paws on the canopy, and moved his muscles and bones for a while before climbing down the tree.

"The Guardian Spirit Beast is here?"

"Look, he's not leaving!!"

"Chief, stop screaming, look there!"

“.......”

Under the tree, the desolate apes saw Li Hang appear, and they seemed to have a backbone and surrounded them one after another.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!!"

The leader, Ah Yan, struggled to break through the crowd around him, and after squeezing out a few feathers on his head, he finally walked to the front.

"Ah Yan, who are you?" Li Hang, who was still confused, saw their leader appear, and hurriedly asked.

"Your Excellency, you are still here, we all thought that you would leave after getting the inheritance. The young leader laughed.

"Why should I leave?" Li Hang jumped on the earthen platform and chose a comfortable lying position to lie down. "I remember you said that at this time of day, don't you have to go to gather and hunt, and what are you doing here?"

Ah Yan was stunned for a moment, looked at the clansmen on the left and right, and saw that they were also looking at him, so he had to step forward.

"Well, in the past, now, we can only leave the tribe after the Lion King's guardianship shocks the Quartet, so ......" He said cautiously for fear that the smaller Li Hang would not know how to deter.

"Shock the Quartet, how to deter, how did that lion do it?" Li Hang didn't remember that there was such a thing as "shock" in the memory contained in the blood-colored demonic qi.

Sure enough, won't it? Ah Yan's heart sank, but then he felt that he was too greedy, and he could have a guardian appear so soon, even if he was weaker, it was much better than nothing.

"Roar! After the lion king's roar, the beasts that hear his voice will leave the vicinity, and then we can safely go out of the tribe to hunt and gather. ”

Hearing the leader Ah Yan say this, Li Hang suddenly realized, "Oh! So that's the case, isn't it just to declare the ownership of the territory, you stay away!"

Without waiting for them to say anything, Li Hang stood up from the earthen platform, his body suddenly swelled and twisted, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a colorful tiger.

"Hmm~~~"

The apes who were a little farther away saw the guardian beast change in an instant, and they all exclaimed in surprise, although they had never seen this kind of beast, but the tiger's body was imposing, exuding a powerful aura from head to toe.
