Chapter Thirty-One: The Big Head That Was Lost and Then Found Again

  A night of silence, the moon moves and the sun rises, a new day has begun. The apes on the mountain ridge also woke up from their intoxicating dreams. The golden sunlight shines, casting a layer of golden yellow across the sky and earth. At this moment, the mountains and forests are filled with serenity and harmony, as if yesterday's bloodshed was just an illusion.

  He let out a yawn, and Chen Xuan slowly brought the unceasing flow of true energy within his body to a stop, making a gathering gesture, using his mind to guide it to the Dan Tian, feeling a warm sensation, a hint of a pleased smile leaked from the corner of his mouth, and he thoroughly ended this round of cultivation.

  Slowly waving his arms, Chen Xiu felt the recovery of his robust body and couldn't help but throw his head back and let out a triumphant whoop. It had to be said, this inner energy was really too powerful.

  As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from an injury that affects the tendons and bones. But his body, which was almost shattered by the Golden Arhat's blow, was completely restored overnight by the power of true energy. It has to be said, this is a miracle.

  What made Chen Xu even more excited was that after experiencing a dispersal of his true energy, it seemed as if he had been reborn. When he re-condensed his true energy, there seemed to be some inexplicable changes in his inner breath, and compared to before, there was an additional mysterious feeling.

  In a daze, Chen Xu had a feeling in his heart that the day when he would break through to the Three Heavens Realm from the Two Heavens Realm was not far off.

  A new day begins, Chen Xu gathers the remaining forty-seven people in the tribe together and quickly assigns the morning's tasks.

  Although yesterday's action of throwing the haystack down the mountain attracted a golden rooster, causing great casualties to this small tribe, it did not make Chen Xu retreat.

  The ferocity of the ape, on the contrary, only strengthened his determination. So, the first command was to let the apes in the hunting team throw wood down the mountain, and as for the other apes, except for those who were cooking food, they all went to find new wood to ensure that the throwing activity proceeded smoothly.

  Although thirteen apes were injured, under the three circulating production lines, the efficiency of throwing firewood did not decrease much.

  One team of apes was in charge of collecting firewood, one team of apes was in charge of throwing the firewood, and one team of apes was in charge of bundling the firewood. The three teams worked together seamlessly, switching roles every half hour, and were having a great time doing it.

  Naturally, the Jīn Gāngs at the foot of the mountain roared again, surrounding the cliff below, howling and jumping, fully venting their anger.

  Having gone through the battle last night, the apes had already overcome their fear of King Kong in their hearts, so King Kong's roar not only didn't make them retreat, but instead made them even more energetic.

  Thus, the whole morning passed, and countless dry firewood was thrown into the dense forest at the foot of the mountain. At this time, looking down from the top of the mountain, you can vaguely see some traces of withered firewood piles.

  However, Chen Xu understood that this amount was still not enough. To force the Golden Roosters to leave, they would need to throw more firewood, but this was a relatively long-term project, and at least today it couldn't be done.

  In order for the apes to have enough physical strength to defend against other beasts, and also to collect more firewood, this activity of throwing firewood can only be carried out in the morning. The rest of the time, everyone has other things to do.

  To know, this was in the Stone Age. Here, food was first and foremost. Although they already had a stock of eighteen antelopes, it could only guarantee their food source for six or seven days.

  At this time, it was at the junction of spring and summer, the temperature was not high, but not low either. There were no refrigerators here, let alone cold storage, so even if there was enough food, they could hardly eat for many days.

  So, finding food was the first priority for survival in the Stone Age and a task that had to be done every day without any slack.

  After spending the whole morning, throwing countless wooden firewood down the mountain, the crowd of Vajras at the foot of the mountain jumped non-stop. When the meat food on the bonfire emitted a fragrance, the morning's activity ended.

  After everyone shared the food, the old, weak, women and children were left behind by Chen Xu to watch the house and continue making bamboo spears and stone tools. The hunting team went with him to the grassland in the dense forest.

  Although the possibility of preserving the Golden Roc's corpse was extremely small, Chen Xu still had to try his luck. At least in his heart, the hard fangs on the Golden Roc's body could be preserved.

  In the eyes of other beasts, it may not be something fun, but in Chen Xu's eyes, it was an existence that could rival the sharpest knives of later generations.

  The sharp fangs that Jīn Gāng had been gnawing on for years, tempered to a hardness comparable to the fine steel daggers of later generations. If he had such a bone knife, everything would be much more convenient from now on.

  Circling through the dense jungle, Chen Xu led a group of apes cautiously to the edge of the clearing, and upon slightly raising their heads, they saw a scene that seemed as if a tornado had passed through.

  Only the long grass around the original pit was sprinkled with dry blood, and under the gentle breeze, a strong bloody smell was emitted.

  The originally tidy thatch on the ground also seemed to have been trampled by an old cow, with patches scattered all over the place, and from time to time, there were large pits dotting the area.

  As for the massive diamond in the pit, it completely disappeared without a trace, leaving only one vertebra, lying alone at the bottom of the pit, as if telling an endless sorrow.

  "This is also too exaggerated, right? What exactly happened here last night?"

  Looking at this tragic scene, even Chen Xuan, who had experienced a life-and-death struggle the night before, couldn't help but blink his eyes slightly, and it was really hard to believe what kind of fierce beast had fought here.

  "Hiss, these jungle overlords are too powerful, this is even more formidable than the armored vehicles of later generations! Look at these marks, tsk tsk!"

  Speechless, Chen Xiu bowed his head and stroked the large pits that had risen one by one, and he could almost imagine the terrifying scene of a majestic wild beast's paw rising into the air.

  "But where did Kong's head go?"

  After standing still for a while, Chen Xuan was stunned and had to admit that the golden head of the dagger, which held his hope, was gone.

  Although he didn't quite believe that these jungle overlords still had the habit of collecting heads, the scene on the field told him that his hopes were really gone. King Kong's head was indeed gone without a trace, and it wasn't just that, except for one spine, it seemed that all parts of King Kong's body were gone.

  "Huh? Something's off!"

  His eyes rolled around, and he let out a startled cry. Chen Xu suddenly jumped down into the pit, next to the spine that Jingang had left behind. He looked at the footprints in the mud soaked with fresh blood and couldn't help but blink his eyes rapidly.

  The size of these footprints is not much different from that of the apemen, and what's more, their shape is also similar to that of the apemen.

  Looking again at the ground, there wasn't a single shred of meat left. Thinking about those tyrannical forest overlords who were like diamonds, carefully scraping out scattered flesh and blood from between the rocks, Chen Xu couldn't help but shake his head, throwing this ridiculous scene out of his mind.

  Thinking carefully, this is simply impossible.

  "Could it be that another group of apemen had been here?"

  A spark flashed in his eyes, Chen Xu carefully measured the depth of the footprints in the blood mud, then stepped on it himself, leaving a footprint in the blood mud. After pulling out his foot, he carefully compared the two, and found that they were surprisingly similar.

  "The footprints are similar, and the weight is also similar. It seems that the creature that left the footprints has a weight similar to mine, and it also has evolved feet. If this isn't an ape-man, then what is it?"

  A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. At this point, Chen Xuan was completely convinced of the existence of another group of apes. It was clear that the area where these apes lived was not far from here, perhaps just on the other side of the grassland, and maybe it was the bloody smell in the early morning that led them to this place.

  Just as Chen Xu was secretly measuring, he suddenly heard a whistle sound coming from around him. Listening carefully, Chen Xu's heart moved instantly, and this was the hunting team that came with him.

  "Was there really something discovered?"

  After he jumped into the deep ditch, he issued an order to let Ape No. 1 and Captain Ape divide the hunting team into two groups, each leading a team to check the nearby woods to see if they could find any other traces of the forest overlord.

  It was originally just out of caution, and I never thought that now it seems there really is a discovery.

  Chen Xu's eyebrows rose, and he exerted a slight force under his feet. His body suddenly shot up, and he leaped directly out of the pit.

  At this time, Ape No. 1 and Captain Ape led their subordinates, the ape warriors, out of the forest, and among them, two apes that should not have appeared at all appeared.

  Of course, Jin Gang's big head, which made Chen Xu quite resentful, also appeared in the team and was carried out by the warriors in the hunting team.

  As soon as Chen Xu appeared, the Ape No. 1 and the Ape Captain let out an excited roar, the latter directly stretched out his sturdy arm, knocked down two strange apes in the team to the ground, rushed forward, chattered a lot, and occasionally pointed at King Kong's big head.

  A moment later, Chen Xu waved his hand, indicating that he understood. Looking at the two terrified apemen on the ground, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of expectation on his face.

  According to the leader of the ape men, these two apes should be from the same tribe that swept away the scattered meat on the ground. They were just carrying King Kong's big head and couldn't walk well for a while, got separated from their companions in the jungle, and happened to be caught by the hunting party of ape men.

  And so, there is now this scene.

  "It's truly a case of 'breaking iron shoes without finding a place', yet coming here is effortless!"

  He chuckled and Chen Xu directly picked up the stone axe in his hand, pried open King Kong's big mouth, mobilized his internal force, and knocked down the two largest canine teeth inside. Only then did he begin to interrogate the two captives while examining the sharp and sharp canine teeth.

  It has to be said that the primitive humans of the Stone Age, who had just given birth to spiritual intelligence, saved Chen Xu a lot of trouble once again. At this time, humans did not have the concept of loyalty and integrity.

  Not even using the threat of death, these two apes quickly confessed in the midst of a group of elite warriors' loud roars, and they were considered to be quite sturdy men on this land, clearly revealing their true nature.

  Things turned out as Chen Xu had expected, their tribe was not far from here, just on the other side of the grassland, along the edge of a dense forest, near a narrow valley.

  According to them, the valley seemed to be very long, with towering forests on both sides, and a grassland in the middle that stretched out to infinity, and they didn't know what was at the other end.

  "Could it be that the other end of the mountain valley is actually a grassland? Where on earth have I ended up?"

  In the blink of an eye, Chen Xu used his golden canine teeth to tear off some of the deerskin that was covering his body, then made it into a knife handle. Holding it upside down, he grabbed one of the apemen and shouted in a stern voice: "Those who don't want to die, immediately take us to your tribe! Being able to join our Fire God Tribe is an honor for you!"
