Chapter Seventeen The Second Golden Crystal

  A helpless smile spread across his face, and he saw the leader of the ape men's body about to rush forward. The boulder that was stirring up a loud wind sound was also about to hit him. Chen Xuan's true energy suddenly circulated, and a massive force burst out from his legs in an instant. At this moment, he moved!

  A dark figure flashed by, Chen Xu's body was like a swooping eagle, carrying the momentum of a wildfire, and suddenly shifted to the side, coming face to face with the leader of the ape men.

  His six bamboo spears in his hand were all controlled by his right palm, and his left hand quickly adhered to form a combined force. With the axe-chopping Huashan style, he suddenly struck out with the six bamboo spears in his hand, forming a bamboo army that roared out, bringing out a sharp, ear-piercing whine, as if an endless stream of ghosts and monsters had been released from hell.

  "Boom!"

  A huge stone tool slammed heavily onto the sandy ground, stirring up a burst of sand and gravel. The terrifying force even crushed the pebbles beneath it, but nothing was gained from this. Chen Xuan, who had originally been standing there, had vanished without a trace.

  Like a tank, the ape-man captain charged forward, but before he could even make a move, he felt a sudden flash in front of his eyes, and a black shadow suddenly appeared in his field of vision, carrying a whirring wind sound, fiercely slapping him in the face.

  In the flurry, the captain of the ape-man only had time to cover his face with his hand, and suddenly felt a severe pain coming from his palm. The pain was so intense that even with his strong physique, he could hardly bear it, and his arm dropped instantly.

  A loud wail, the ape-man captain's terrifying advancing speed was abruptly blocked, but before he could catch his breath, Chen Xuan standing in front of him had already launched an attack.

  First was a side-body triple kick, followed by an Eagle Claw fist, plus a Xingyiquan Iron Mountain Collapsing Fist and a Xingyiquan Cannon Fist. The Ape King had not yet recovered from the severe pain in his hands when he received Chen Xiang's stormy attack.

  With the support of internal energy, Chen Xu's moves from his past life perfectly combined together. After a few breaths, Chen Xu paused for a moment, then presented a horse stance, with both fists drawing a circle at his sides, suddenly shaking, and withdrawing in front of him, forming the starting move of Shaolin Wu Xing Quan. His palms joined together, completely ending this attack.

  With a flick of his arm, the massive force generated by the rotation of his muscles, under the blessing of internal energy, directly threw out the bewildered ape man captain.

  A huge force came out of nowhere, and the terrifying weight of the ape-man captain seemed to suddenly disappear by half. His body suddenly became light, like a leaf, and under this great force, he rolled over in mid-air.

  The dizzying rotation of 360 degrees in the air, the captain of the ape team finally heavily smashed onto the sandy ground, making a loud noise. Although the sand was soft, the splashing sand grains still made him almost vomit last night's dinner.

  What's even more deadly is that the arm he used to cover his face just now suddenly lost all sensation, as if it had been disabled in an instant. At the same time, the parts of his body that Chen Xu had hit began to transmit a scorching pain, as if they were being roasted by fierce flames. The captain of the ape team didn't know what endurance was, so he immediately let out a mournful howl.

  "Grandma's, the internal energy consumption is too severe! Just this time, one-fifth of my internal breath has been consumed. Without the support of internal breath, my current strength is only that of two ape leaders!"

  "Unexpectedly, the people of the Stone Age are so resilient. It seems that collecting gold crystals needs to be put on the agenda. If an ordinary ape-man is like this, what about those fierce beasts?"

  "It's a good thing those apemen were frightened off; otherwise, if they had scattered in all directions, I wouldn't have been able to stop them except by killing them, given my current abilities!"

  Feeling the depletion of his internal energy, Chen Xu stood still, holding six thick bamboo spears in his hand, coldly staring at the monkey leader who was constantly rolling around not far in front of him.

  Although it didn't move, a fierce and overwhelming aura caused the apes charging from the opposite side to collectively stop in their tracks and retreat once again.

  At this time, the crowd of apes behind Chen Xu let out a cheer, and they all took out their bamboo spears, baring their teeth and advancing forward, quickly grasping the essence of beating a fallen man.

  The courage that the apes had accumulated was quickly dissipated as their leader was knocked down by this clean and efficient blow.

  They realized that although the apes in front of them seemed to be just like them, their ferocity might not be much less than that of the giant man-eating crocodiles in the river ahead.

  The last bit of courage lost, Chen Xuan's performance during the hunt earlier couldn't help but surface in his mind. These apes didn't dare to move slightly, lest they provoke this jinx and completely lose their chance at escaping with their lives. One by one, they cowered together, their eyes constantly darting between the captain who was wailing on the ground and Chen Xuan who stood opposite them, spear in hand.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  All this said and done, in reality it only took a few moments. By now the stones thrown by the other apemen had barely hit the ground.

  Have to say, these apes' aim is really good, all the stones were thrown at the place where Chen Xu was originally standing, but now they are all empty.

  Gently swinging the bamboo hair in his hand, he felt the explosive power contained in his body. After exerting a lot of effort, he finally solved Chen Xiu's problem. He waved his hand to signal No. 1 Ape to come forward and ordered: "Tell them to join us immediately, otherwise this big guy will be an example!"

  After being with Chen Xu for a long time, the No. 1 Ape quickly understood his not-so-standard Ape language, took a step forward, and began to communicate with the desperate Ape in front of him in pure Ape language.

  "Grandma's, indeed, language is the most powerful weapon for unifying the world!"

  As the first ape spoke, the other apes looked at him with eyes gradually filled with fear, and slowly put down their weapons, spat a mouthful of saliva, and Chen Xu couldn't help but make a sound.

  With his powerful military might intimidating them in front, plus the first chirping and chattering about his fire god exploits, these apemen, who were likely often below the poverty line, surrendered very readily.

  A moment later, after Chen Xu had circulated his true energy to rescue the ape-man who was flipped over by him and had a swollen arm like a wild boar's leg from pain, his prestige in this newly joined team was thoroughly established, reaching an all-time high in an instant!

  Chen Xu only wanted to see the ape-man captain as a talented individual, not wanting him to die from arm pain, and also to test the true effect of his inner energy, so he treated him.

  But this attempt brought Chen Xu a great benefit.

  Whether it was the respectful attitude of the newly joined apes around him, or the gold block pulled down from his neck by the ape captain in front of him, none of them failed to make Chen Xu understand that this time he had made a big profit!

  "This is really 'with heart, flowers don't bloom; without heart, willows shade', I didn't expect it to be so simple to get the second crystal, and this guy, if I don't treat him, would he secretly transfer the crystal?"

  Looking at the ape-like captain's eyes with a respectful expression, Chen Xu weighed the crystal in his hand, secretly thinking to himself with a hint of playfulness.

  Although he really wanted to absorb the crystal now, Chen Xu still gave up this idea as he looked at the darkening sky.

  This Stone Age is not an era where humans are the main characters, especially in the jungle at night, it's even more so the era of fierce beasts. Even with his current cultivation, if he dares to move around at night, what awaits him will only be the fate of becoming a pile of wild animal dung.

  He hung the crystal around his neck, and put the original one that had been used up with it. Chen Xiang hastily asked the leader of the Ape Men a few questions about his tribe.

  It's possible that the captain of the ape team was really convinced, and he cooperated very well. However, he didn't have any mathematical concepts, and his geographical concepts were also quite poor. After listening to a few sentences, Chen Xu had no idea what he was saying.

  "It seems it's time to put the invention of numbers on the agenda, this won't do!"

  With some advanced ideas in his mind, Chen Xu had no choice but to temporarily give up investigating another tribe's situation. As the sky was already late and soon to be dark, the top priority now was to move today's gains back to the cave and absorb the energy from that crystal.

  As for the others, it can only be said later!

  Ordered other apemen to pick up the meat torn apart by the saber-toothed tiger, led ten new ape warriors who had recently defected, and merged with the original 14 ape men in the tribe. Chen Xuan, this fire god, successfully brought back a full load of prey on his first hunt as leader.
