Chapter Thirty: A Bitter Victory and Reflections

  At this time, he couldn't afford to divide his attention elsewhere and could only focus solely on King Kong. Even when faced with King Kong's massive palm that was close at hand, it was still the same!

  At this time, what he was competing with Jīn Gāng (Kim Gang) was not only endurance but also luck.

  A moment later, Chen Xu's eyes suddenly lit up, the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived. With a light flick of his fingers, three wolf-toothed arrows shot out without reservation and plunged into Jīn Gāng's only remaining left eye, instantly bringing out a gleam of crystal tears, as well as Jīn Gāng's earth-shattering wail.

  "It turns out that luck is still on my side!"

  With a light exhalation of breath, Chen Xu completed the finishing move and suddenly leapt open.

  Immediately afterwards, King Kong's palm, like a grinding wheel, fell on the spot where he was originally standing, and the soil there was directly patted down to a thickness of at least half a meter.

  Just a little bit more and King Kong would have completed the reversal.

  Unfortunately, a difference of one hair can lead to an error of a thousand miles! King Kong forever lost the opportunity to turn defeat into victory. Victory belongs to Chen Xiu, who has good luck!

  The blind Kongo began to panic, manifesting in the outside world as a terrifying scream and frantically dancing limbs.

  In the midst of flying dust, King Kong seemed to have forgotten the simple method of running out of the pit first. In this pit, he began to struggle violently like an old ox plowing the land!

  After a moment, a rustling sound came from the woods, and then the bushes parted to reveal Ape Number One and Captain Ape leading a troop of elite ape warriors bursting out of the dense forest.

  It's clear that the apes are collectively stunned by what they're seeing!

  "Take action on the wound in the morning, but be careful!"

  With a loud shout, Chen Xu quickly drew the attention of the crowd of apes over to him, pointing at King Kong who was panicking in the pit, and gave an order.

  He took out the remaining thirteen long arrows on his body, held the longbow, found a suitable position, and quietly aimed at King Kong's vital point.

  Several loud bows burst, the mortal wounds on King Kong's body were further expanded. After an hour, this four-meter-high jungle overlord was like a porcupine, with bamboo spears inserted all over his body.

  And the pit beneath it, under the moonlight, was also completely dyed a deep red by the blood.

  The reddish-brown soil, under the gentle breeze, continuously emitted a nauseating bloody smell.

  As Chen Xu's last bamboo spear struck, the sharp bamboo spear whizzed in and completely penetrated into Jīn Gāng's eye socket, directly entering without a handle, taking away Jin Gang's last bit of strength.

  Let out a cry of unwillingness, the diamond palm probed forward, then weakly fell down, the huge body swayed several times, and with its full body bamboo spear thoroughly fell into the pit, stirring up a sky of dust!

  "Hah! Finally died, this really isn't a human's job. Cheating the minority is the essence of human development. One-on-one duel is really too disadvantageous!"

  He fell to the ground with a thud, Chen Xu let out a long sigh, his tense body relaxed, but found that he could hardly even hold the longbow in his hand at this moment, his whole body feeling languid and weak, without any strength to move.

  The true energy in his body was completely exhausted, without a single thread left, and after the intense battle, all the sequelae emerged.

  At this time, he was in pain all over his body, and his left arm, which had been directly hit by the golden rod, had completely lost its feeling. He didn't even know how he had managed to draw his bow and shoot an arrow just now.

  The feeling of being burned to the core did not disappear, but instead became more severe. Without the aid of internal breath therapy, it was already a good thing that he didn't directly pass out at this point.

  "Geez, these apes are really something!"

  Compared to Chen Xu's depression, the other apes in the hunting team were full of energy, each one excitedly circling around the golden monkey in the pit and making low-pitched whooping sounds. It was clear that they could kill this kind of jungle overlord, and some proud thoughts emerged in their simple minds.

  Taking a deep breath, Chen Xu blinked his eyes and immediately shouted several times, calling over the apes that were circling around Jīn Gāng. He directly ordered the leader of the ape team to carry him on his back, then quickly retreated from the area.

  He didn't forget that it was nighttime now, and he believed that before long, large ferocious beasts would be attracted by the smell of blood.

  At this point, with their current state, the golden prey will definitely not be kept safe. If they are too greedy, they might even risk their own lives.

  Although the crowd of apes were somewhat reluctant to give up such a huge prey, Chen Xu, the fire god, had given the order, and they naturally did not dare to disobey.

  After this battle, Chen Xu's prestige in the tribe was even higher.

  Although the apes have simple brains, it doesn't mean they can't even tell the difference between strength and weakness. In this battle, Chen Xu's contribution was the greatest. It can be said that without his restraint as the Fire God, even sixty more apes would not be enough for Jin Gang to kill.

  Following Chen Xu's instructions, the apes carried him on their backs and quickly retreated along the original route, leaving behind only the giant corpse of Jīn Gāng in the pit.

  A bleak night wind blew by, and a small mountain-sized flower-spotted leopard emerged from behind the forest, somewhat hesitantly scanning the direction in which the apeman had departed.

  Then, the giant leopard's head shook slightly, let out a low growl, and its eyes showed some movement of intent. The terrifying giant leopard's attention was attracted by King Kong who was trapped in the pit.

  It seems that in its eyes, this giant King Kong in front of it is more attractive than those few toothpick-like apemen.

  As the Terror Flower Leopard appeared, the trees shook and the nearby startled beasts reacted one after another. The masters of the forest, with light footsteps, walked out. This was their hunting ground, and obviously, the Kong Gang in the pit was a very good prey!

  The night's revelry has begun!

  On the cliff, Chen Xu, who was almost overturned, took a long breath with a mood of escaping from death, and ordered the leader of the ape men to put him beside the bonfire.

  Forcing himself to sit cross-legged, he felt the stench of the night wind and looked at the excited crowd around him, their faces filled with terror. Chen Xu couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth, revealing a wry smile.

  Before that, he had also expected the power of these jungle overlords, but he hadn't thought that their true strength would actually reach this level, far exceeding his estimates.

  It's likely that if it weren't for tonight, with all the luck on his side, not to mention this golden opportunity, it would be enough to completely wipe out their newly-born tribe.

  "It seems I still don't have a clear concept, lacking the awareness of being in the Stone Age!"

  Taking a deep breath, Chen Xuan slowly sensed the internal energy emanating from his body, feeling an itchy sensation spreading throughout. He lifted his head and looked around, counting the number of apes, only to discover that thirteen of them had been completely annihilated in the battle. Under King Kong's absolute power, some were crushed into small pancakes, while others were slapped into portraits.

  Gathered the apes around the bonfire, took a closer look, fortunately, the warriors in the hunting party were not seriously injured, only three died, and among the other ten apes, there were three sturdy female apes, and the other seven were some weak apes.

  "It's okay, it's okay, the loss isn't that great, but this can't go on. It seems we need to find out the locations of other tribes as soon as possible. This is the Stone Age, indeed, not an era for humans like us. It looks like it'll be tough for us to establish ourselves here with our current strength."

  Deep in his heart, Chen Xuan was constantly feeling a sense of awe at this moment, and he had truly gained the realization of crossing over to the Stone Age. Everything before that had only given him the feeling of playing a game, without any real challenge.

  Even the terrifying saber-toothed tiger only brought him mental pressure, and without displaying its true enemy-killing skills, it couldn't make him truly fearful.

  Next, successfully resisted the jackal pack, killed the argali, roasted bird eggs, made stone tools, refined bamboo spears, subdued another tribe, greatly increased internal energy, successfully set up traps, and hunted more than 20 saiga antelopes in one go, successfully crafted the world's first bow and arrow.

  Having a strong inner power and a broad prospect for development, no matter how you look at it, this stone age seems to be the place where he gets his points.

  Gradually, he felt a sense of pride rising in his heart, looking down on the Stone Age, thinking that it was nothing more than that.

  But this time, King Kong's counterattack was a very good lesson for him, waking him up from this dreamlike dream.

  The severe injuries on his body kept reminding him that this was the Stone Age, and it was far from a place where humans could run wild. Compared to those powerful jungle overlords, although they had thinking brains and great development prospects, for now, they were still weak and small.

  His proud inner strength, his supposedly invincible personal combat power, is so laughable in front of these jungle overlords. At least, before obtaining enough tokens, personal heroism is simply not feasible!

  Blinking his eyes, Chen Xu calmed down and ordered the apes, who were shocked, excited, and nostalgic at the same time, to clean up the battlefield.

  Soon, the corpses of other apemen on the cliff were collected and buried in a corner at the top of the mountain, covered with stones, which is considered to be the first tomb in history.

  After sweeping away the scattered corpses on the field, the terrified apes gathered around the bonfire and soon fell asleep. Chen Xu, however, began to slowly regulate his breathing, making an effort to gather the dispersed internal energy in his body's meridians, condensing them into a single flow, as the circulation of each meridian resumed.

  Can't help but say, this time he was undoubtedly lucky, the diamond's palm hit off, almost ruining his inner strength. If he had been hit squarely, even if he could have escaped with his life, this hard-won inner skill would have been completely ruined.

  Gradually, under his wholehearted efforts, the internal energy in his body that had been broken into segments gradually connected and circulated smoothly. Gradually, the internal energy harmonized and flowed freely within his twelve regular meridians.

  As a large cycle of heaven and earth was completed, the hazy rainbow shadow in his dantian suddenly jumped, and the scattered inner energy ball recondensed.

  It was like an engine, the rainbow shadow in his dantian began to jump and produced a driving force. Under the guidance of his intention, it slowly pushed the inner breath in his meridians towards a fixed direction.

  A surge of intense pain came, and the internal energy flowed through the various meridians in his body, nourishing each part of his body, restoring his nearly battered body!

  Slowly, the moon rose into the sky, and the flames on the mountain top gradually dimmed. Everything became quiet once again. In this peaceful atmosphere, Chen Xuan also slowly fell into a state of emptiness and clarity.

  Recommend and collect.
