Chapter 2: The Legendary Dogshit Luck
It turns out that his crossing was somewhat dramatic, or it can be said that it was a coincidence in a series of coincidences!
That time, Chen Xu just accompanied his heartbroken friend to relax and listen to a lecture by an internationally renowned physicist. As a result, after listening to a bellyful of absurd logic, Chen Xu tragically verified this absurd logic!
That's when spacetime has instability, just like anything can't be perfect in general. What is called spacetime also has its own defects, which can be called wrinkles. If at a specific point in time, spacetime happens to wrinkle and you happen to be at that point, then congratulations, you will enter another spacetime represented by the wrinkle.
That's what they call crossing over.
According to the professor, the universe is so vast that it can be said to have no bounds. The probability of such a wrinkle occurring is one in billions and billions, infinitely close to zero. And the probability of it landing on Earth is even smaller.
So if you're sure your dad isn't some kind of creator god or something, then he definitely won't be able to travel through time. But the fact is that experts' words are not always trustworthy.
Chen Xu had just left the house and hadn't walked far, still hugging a bucket of popcorn in his arms. He suddenly felt dizzy and when he opened his eyes again, everything around him had changed!
He was honored to have obtained this honor that even the son of the creator god could not obtain, successfully crossing through time and space, entering the earth one million years ago.
Of course, this time the professor said something right, in the space-time fold, only the spiritual consciousness in the human body, that is, the soul has this traversing characteristic, and nothing else does.
So, Chen Xu gloriously crossed over and coincidentally possessed the body of a roughly fifteen-year-old erectus, which was also considered great luck! After all, according to the professor's words, being able to cross over was good luck, and crossing over to coincidentally encounter an object to possess wasn't dispersing into thin air, that was even greater luck!
However, at this time, Chen Xu didn't have the time to think about anything else, because the fresh blood of the deer on the ground had already been sucked dry, and what was left was just transporting the prey, borrowing the help of the great God Fire, roasting the prey and other follow-up work.
At the leader's beckoning, Chen Xu and four others took a step forward, carrying this cumbersome elk, leading several tribesmen who were drooling with desire, quickly rushing into the dense forest, dashing towards one corner of the forest.
A column of over a dozen people marched forward, making almost no sound. In this dense forest, these apes were far from being the rulers; they were just a group of lower-class citizens!
In this ancient forest, any sound could trigger a fatal attack. Unless it was some larger tribes, no one had the qualifications to hunt in this forest. It was obvious that Chen Xu and his group did not have this qualification.
Under the leader's lead, a dozen or so people carefully bypassed several dangerous areas, crossed over several small hills, bypassed a cliff area, and climbed down through countless thorns at one corner of the cliff to reach a suspended cave, only then completing this expedition!
It's clear that this expedition was a relatively successful one, having only paid the price of a few minor injuries to the elderly and weak, they managed to hunt down a double-antlered deer. For this small tribe, for the next seven or eight days, they can take it easy!
After that, it was clear that Chen Xu had nothing to do with the matter. The five-person hunting team of theirs belonged to the ruling class in this tribe. Among the remaining ten people, six female apes, two young apes, and two weak apes were all subordinate classes, being ruled!
This batch of deerskin, the task of roasting deer meat relies on the labor of those ten people. After it's done, they wait until Chen Xu and his five companions are full before they have the qualification to start eating. Among them, two children and six female apes were treated slightly better, but still found it hard to eat their fill.
As for the remaining two weak apes, they were completely left with gnawing bones, this is the survival law of primitive society, the strong prey on the weak!
Some amusingly watched these people reverently roasting the beast meat with red-hot stones in front of the dark red flames, Chen Xu slightly shook his head, not only ridiculing the ignorance of the primitives, but also sighing at his own fate.
However, he soon leaned against a flat stone on the mountain rock, laid his body flat, and quietly constructed the meridian circulation route in his body while digesting the deer blood in his abdomen.
The bonfire in the cave was naturally made by Chen Xu. After he crossed over, this group of apemen had just collected some wild fire and only a few sparks were left before it went out.
After slightly adapting to his own identity, Chen Xu immediately understood how important these wild fires were to him. In the primitive society where he lived in his previous life, everything else might not matter, but there was one thing that was absolutely unacceptable - he couldn't stand eating raw meat.
Fortunately, Chen Xu had some knowledge of wilderness survival in his previous life and was slightly familiar with these wilderness survival skills. Therefore, Chen Li timely rescued the wildfire and preserved the fire seed, gaining a place in the hunting team for the first time.
However, this is certainly not the fundamental reason why Chen Xu can stand firm. To stand firm in a tribe where beastization is more than humanization, one must rely on absolute power!
The ape-like body occupied by Chen Xu is not sturdy, but it's not weak either. Having survived the perilous years before the age of thirteen, it possesses a certain amount of strength, thus providing Chen Xu with good innate conditions and ensuring his survival in this world!
But these are just guarantees, compared to other apes in the hunting team, especially with the robust leader, Chen Xu's strength is somewhat insignificant.
He was able to join this hunting team and become a member of the tribe, second only to the leader, thanks to his family's traditional Taoist internal energy cultivation method, which is similar to Shaolin's ultimate skill in martial arts, called "Yi Jin Jing"!
However, the effect of this qigong method is not great, it's not the legendary Shaolin Easy Tendon Changing Classic that can do anything, but rather a manual on the law of five grains transportation, even if Chen Xuan practiced it from childhood to adulthood, he only managed to produce qi sensation and possessed some true qi.
These true energies are of no use in actual combat, and what's even more bizarre is that the more one practices, the weaker their body becomes. At least, this was the case in his past life. As a result, for some time, Chen Xu had almost formed the idea of abandoning these techniques altogether.
It's just that after years of practice, Chen Xu's internal energy circulation has formed a conditioned reflex, and even if he doesn't want to cultivate, he can't stop it!
So after going to college, Chen Xu worked hard to exercise his body, but because of this true energy, he could only maintain a physique similar to that of an ordinary person.
Chen Xu did not expect that after crossing into the Stone Age and entering the body of an ape-man, his usual cultivation route was still not abandoned, and with his awakening, it naturally ran on its own. What he didn't expect even more was that this ape-man's body was also suitable for this technique!
