Chapter Sixteen Playing the Lute to a Cow

  Gently tap the bird egg, open the eggshell on it, Chen Xuan raised his hand to signal the monkeys to pay attention, in front of everyone, pour the liquid inside into his mouth, as if eating ice cream in summer, finally with a sip, a sucking sound, the bird egg in his hand became an empty shell!

  He smacked his lips, savoring the smooth sensation in his mouth, and Chen Xuan couldn't help but think of when he was a kid and went on outdoor picnics with his friends, eating those raw eggs.

  A faint sense of melancholy, soon, the breath unique to the primeval forest would recall his spirit, making him realize that this time he was no longer the original Chen Xu.

  He let out a sigh in his heart, and with some emotion picked up another bird egg, pointing to the remaining eggs. Chen Xu indicated for the crowd of apes to follow his example and eat together.

  After that, he didn't care about them and just focused on eating bird eggs to recall a bit of his past life. After eating more than 20 bird eggs, Chen Xu finally touched his stomach and stopped moving. At this time, a strong wave of nausea suddenly rose up in his stomach, almost making him bend over and throw up.

  Knowing that he was still not very used to this blood-sucking life, Chen Xu let out a light sigh and waved his hand to signal the other apes to start!

  At this time, the other apes dared to start eating. With Chen Xu's more than 20 demonstrations before, they already understood that the thing in front of them was also a kind of food that could be used to fill their hunger. Therefore, except for being a bit flustered at the beginning, afterwards, they also slowly got used to eating this thing.

  Although the raw bird eggs were nutritious, eating too many was quite greasy. Moreover, in front of Chen Xu, they didn't dare to eat freely, so the group of apes only ate more than sixty bird eggs and left over ten.

  Chen Xu saw the situation, grabbed a few handfuls of soil with his hands, and buried the bird eggs in the soft soil to prevent them from being dug up by other wild beasts after they left. Afterwards, he roughly described the events of this trip to the apes, preparing them that there might still be a big battle ahead, and at that time, they would have to exert their strength.

  After eating and drinking enough, Chen Xuan explained the situation. He was no longer prepared to stay for long. Otherwise, if they waited until those apes left, it would be much more troublesome to find them again. Now that Chen Xuan's food was sufficient, developing the tribe's members and increasing the number of tribal members had become a top priority.

  In fact, this period of rest was also in Chen Xu's calculations. According to his estimates, by now those apemen should have put down their guard and started searching for leftover prey on the riverbank, thus giving him a chance to catch them all at once.

  Chen Xu believed that the methods he used to deal with those jackals earlier, those apemen should have also seen and understood, while the other members of the hunting team did not take action.

  In this way, even if the apes are all somewhat dim-witted, they should still be able to perceive some subtle differences in meaning.

  Analogy is originally one of the innate abilities of animals that can think!

  So this time, Chen Xufang let the remaining ten apemen who had no fighting power carry bamboo spears and set off. To put it bluntly, this was just a simple psychological tactic he employed!

  However, for these apemen, this psychological tactic is extremely advanced, so advanced that it cannot be understood by their cognitive concepts at all!

  But since Chen Xu, the fire god, has spoken, his subordinates naturally would not have any objections, after all, they had personally witnessed Chen Xu's prowess.

  With Chen Xu as the leader, accompanied by four hunters from the hunting team, and followed by ten apemen in a single file, the encirclement battle formation was fully formed.

  According to Chen Xu's orders, the ten people on the periphery didn't need to take action at all, nor were they allowed to. They just held bamboo spears and made threatening gestures, but remained motionless.

  The four hunters inside are slightly better, with the autonomy to take action, but those who can refrain from taking action should try not to reveal their true nature.

  Leave everything else to Chen Xu to handle, of course some communication problems still need to be handled by No. 1, after all, for these ape languages, Chen Xu understands a lot, but is still somewhat unfamiliar.

  At this critical moment, any misunderstanding of a single word could easily lead to bloodshed.

  They set off soon, Chen Xu led the crowd, carrying thick bamboo spears, pushing open the thicket, and quietly came to the beach through the small path trampled by wild animals in the gap of the thicket.

  Facing the faint sunset in the afternoon, the situation on the beach was clear at a glance. Chen Xu brushed aside the branches and took a look, and indeed, within his line of sight, ten apemen holding stone weapons were collecting the carcasses of wild beasts torn apart by the saber-toothed tiger, searching for parts that were still edible.

  Perhaps they were too familiar with this matter, and the group of apes didn't worry about external enemies at all. They didn't even have a lookout, and all ten apes, without exception, were fully engaged in harvesting activities!

  Look at their extremely skilled movements, I reckon they've done this before!

  At this time, these apes were all in a state of excitement about the harvest, completely ignoring their surroundings. From their excited expressions and the slightly withered color on their faces, Chen Xuan estimated that they probably hadn't had enough food for a long time.

  In this way, Chen Xu was even more confident in his purpose for this trip.

  It's clear that being able to obtain food so easily has almost completely made this group of apemen lose their vigilance, or perhaps they also know that after the arrival of the saber-toothed tiger, there are no other ferocious beasts that dare to come on the same day, at least for now they are safe.

  So this group of apes had no guard against Chen Xu and others' arrival.

  When they found Chen Xu and others, Chen Xu and others were only five or six meters away from them. At this time, Chen Xu's left hand had already appeared with five bamboo spears, and his right palm was also holding a bamboo spear, forming a posture of gathering momentum for the attack, his whole body seemed like an unsheathed treasure sword, emitting endless aura.

  Of course, this is one of the effects of having a strong mental power in battle.

  Although the ape-man opposite him couldn't understand the concept of aura, he could clearly feel a breath similar to that of the previous Sword Toothed Tiger constantly emanating from this ape-man in front of him.

  Adding to Chen Xu's previous display of killing the jackal pack, for a time, these apemen who had recognized his identity did not dare to make any rash movements. One by one, they surrounded him with faces full of terror, forming a sharp knife-like formation.

  The first one was a sturdy ape with bulging muscles, whose aura was not as strong as Chen Xu's, but stronger than the No. 1 Ape, and should be the leader of their hunting team.

  Whether he was the chief of their tribe is hard to say!

  At this time, behind Chen Xu, according to his command, the four hunters also made a show of taking out their bamboo spears and assuming a throwing posture. Behind the four hunters, ten elderly, weak, sickly and disabled people also brandished their bamboo spears, putting on a fierce appearance, and making "heh heh" sounds with their mouths.

  No need to say, as soon as this formation was established, the ten apemen who were forced to the corner of the riverbank became even more tense. They couldn't help but let out wave after wave of howling cries. Except for the captain who still stood firmly at the front of the formation without moving, the other apemen involuntarily took a big step back!

  It was at this time that the giant crocodiles, like rotten wood, appeared in the river. They may have escaped the pressure of the saber-toothed tiger or been less shocked by the water, so they soon floated back to the surface, staring intently at the apes nearby, waiting for their next move.

  Although they floated on the surface of the water, these man-eating crocodiles did not dare to crawl onto land. As long as the aura of the saber-toothed tiger existed for a day, they did not dare to come ashore for a day.

  But for prey that has entered the water, these starving and dizzy crocodiles will not let go.

  It's clear that these apemen also knew the ferocity of these crocodiles, perhaps they had been hurt by them before, or perhaps it was an innate fear in their genes. Seeing a few dark brown logs floating up, they all let out a startled cry, but then didn't dare to retreat any further!

  They then entered a dilemma, wanting to move forward, in front of them was Chen Xu with a terrifying aura, wanting to retreat, behind them were countless man-eating crocodiles.

  As Chen Xu began to move forward, their living space was further compressed, making the situation of this group extremely severe.

  Eyes saw Chen Xu leading the crowd of apes continuing to approach, the leader of the team, Dog Tooth, suddenly let out a long hiss, and with a loud shout, he swung his hand and threw a rough stone tool directly at Chen Xu's face.

  At this moment, the body of the ape man also burst out instantly, like a fierce tiger out of its cage, and with a tiger pounce, it rushed towards Chen Xu and the others.

  However, it is clear that this ape also knows Chen Xu's ferocity. His simple brain does not affect his judgment. This ape knows that the result of going up against Chen Xu will be very miserable. Therefore, the object of his attack is not Chen Xu, but other apes beside Chen Xu.

  This attack was very clear in its intent, but it was simple and effective, fully demonstrating the survival ability of ancient apemen. The leader of the ape men attempted to take advantage of Chen Xu's evasion of the stone tool to tear open a path for himself. This ape man had enough reason to believe that as long as he could enter the forest, he would be like a dragon swimming in the ocean, free and unencumbered!

  As for the tribes behind him, he obviously couldn't care less about them at this moment.

  As the leader of the apes moved, the apes behind him also shouted in unison, as if they had burned their boats.

  Chen Xu only felt a sudden flash before his eyes, and when he looked again, countless stones of various sizes were carrying a low humming sound, attacking him at an extremely fast speed.

  At the same time, those apes also rushed towards this side with loud shouts and cries. It seems that compared to the man-eating crocodile and the infinitely dangerous river, these apes quickly made their choice!

  "Grandma's, it seems that the art of borrowing power is still too profound for these apes. Since this method doesn't work, let's come up with something everyone understands and settle the outcome with strength!"

  Noticing the movements of the crowd, Chen Xu couldn't help but feel a sense of futility, like playing the zither to a cow.

  It's obvious that the profound meaning of his actions this time was completely beyond their comprehension, and for these apes, it was still too profound!
