Chapter 48: The Stranger Visitor

  In this process, the first small wooden house of the Stone Age was erected on the blank land in front of a small hill under Chen Xu's guidance. Although the wooden house is relatively simple and only about two meters high, the original wood joints on the roof are also quite rough and have no aesthetic appeal, but a wooden house is just a wooden house.

  After covering the roof with thick thatch, paving the ground with several pieces of glossy stone slabs, and hanging a coarse curtain made of tree branches at the door, an ideal place for leisure and summer resort was created.

  Entering the wooden house, Chen Xuan turned around casually, feeling the thrill of being isolated from the outside world. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and smiled, saying "No matter how simple it is, a house is still a house, it's the best place for people to take shelter from wind and rain. With this house, we can finally be considered as real humans, before that, we were just a group of savages."

  "Hmm, here we can pile up stones, put some wooden boards on top, and cover them with dried animal hides. Five or six layers like this, and isn't it just like the carpets of later generations?!"

  A hint of excitement flashed in Chen Xu's eyes as he paced back and forth in the room, tapping on the wall beside him, muttering to himself "Not bad, digging a hole here can directly see the distant woods, it'll become a small window, this way the house won't be too stuffy, damn it, I haven't slept on a real bed for ages!"

  He couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, Chen Xu rushed out of the wooden house and ordered the surrounding apes to find stones. He himself took up a knife and started chopping, selecting several suitable woods, starting to chop, striving for his future beautiful life.

  At this time, the old ape was serving his cave, after a period of learning, the old ape perfectly understood the technique of burning pottery and making pottery, but he didn't have Chen Xu's vast knowledge, so the success rate of the pottery he made was very low, most of them were full of cracks.

  But that's okay, after all, a cracked ceramic is still a ceramic, it just has some problems with solidity, and can still be used for a short time.

  After several attempts, Chen Xu made up his mind to let the old ape continue to refine this inferior pottery and planned to use it as a commodity to pry open the doors of other tribes.

  At that time, this inferior pottery may be just right. After all, if the pottery is solid, the other party's demand will be small, and who has the desire to buy new ones?

  Now everything is on track, and all the Fire Tribe needs is just one opportunity.

  Just as Chen Xu had made a bed in the small wooden house, spread a blanket on it, and was about to fall asleep, an opportunity suddenly presented itself.

  Chen Xuguang had just lain down on the bed, feeling the softness of the quilt, when suddenly a loud crash was heard and the wooden door of the house was violently kicked open.

  Then a dark shadow flashed by, and the super-ape's body, which was like Schwarzenegger among humans, burst into his line of sight.

  "Grandma's, you'd better have a good reason, otherwise I'll starve you for a day!"

  Listening to the excited roar of Super Ape, Chen Xu didn't have time to distinguish what he was saying. Suddenly, he sprang up from the bed and grabbed Super Ape's arm, like an eagle catching a chicken, and pulled him out of the thatched cottage horizontally. At this moment, Chen Xu's mood was extremely unpleasant!

  However, this mood did not last long, and soon Chen Xu threw his previous annoyance to the ninth cloud!

  In front of the thatched hut, not far away on the empty land, a ape man was sitting on the ground surrounded by several other apes, his eyes were rolling around, constantly looking around in all directions, with a sly and cunning appearance.

  Looking at this disheveled and unfamiliar ape, looking at this robust ape who is almost as strong as a super ape, Chen Xu dares to guarantee that in the Fire God tribe, there is no such person!

  As soon as Chen Xu appeared, the ape-man quickly looked over and also showed a hint of curiosity on his face. He began to size him up from head to toe, seemingly deep in thought.

  "This guy's IQ isn't low, at least he's on par with General Ape!"

  At the thought, Chen Xu involuntarily followed the gaze of the ape-man and looked around in all directions.

  If he had guessed correctly, previously, the attention of the apes was attracted by all these new and strange things around them, whether it was the dense fence, or the long bamboo spears in the hands of the apes, or this exquisite little house, which made the eyes of this stranger wide with wonder, almost not enough to look at.

  It wasn't until he appeared that the other party seemed to realize his special status and came back to their senses.

  "That's something!"

  "What's going on?"

  He slightly furrowed his brow, and Chen Xu's eyes slanted to the side, looking at the super gorilla next to him. He understood that this was probably what the super gorilla wanted to tell him.

  As expected, upon hearing this question, Super Ape suddenly hummed and began to carefully recount the journey's experiences.

  It turned out that not long ago, the Super Ape was leading a small team of hunting teams to the north forest to escort the tribe members to pick fruit and hunt for fresh prey. As a result, they accidentally discovered this strange ape while passing by the edge of a dense forest.

  At that time, the ape-man was already dizzy and confused, almost unable to distinguish east, south, west, and north. He lay slantingly at the foot of a tree, constantly humming, looking like he hadn't eaten for many days and was somewhat exhausted.

  Out of curiosity, the super ape took out the dried meat he was carrying with him and gave this ape a few pieces to eat.

  After eating something, the strange ape-man also recovered his energy, but he refused to say anything more and insisted on seeing the leader of the tribe.

  Having followed Chen Xu for so long, the Super Ape also learned some of his ways of doing things. Knowing that things might be a bit tricky, he took the initiative to bring this strange ape back.

  And so, there is this scene in front of us now.

  After introducing Chen Xu's past, the Super Ape turned his head and shouted at the ape on the ground, roughly introducing Chen Xu's identity, and letting the ape speak directly if he had anything to say.

  After listening to the Super Ape's words, this ape who had regained his energy looked at Chen Xuan with an unusual gaze, sizing him up from head to toe. Then, with great effort, he crawled and sat up from the ground, beginning to recount his own experiences.

  After a while, Chen Xu touched his chin and ordered the super ape beside him. Suddenly, this distant guest was taken away.

  What awaits him is naturally the best treatment.

  "Some of them are actually from the scattered hunting teams of the Blackrock tribe, the Blackrock tribe, in the north? I didn't expect that just as I finished making pottery, a tribe would come to my doorstep, but I wonder what their actual strength is?"

  His eyes narrowed slightly, and Chen Xu couldn't help but say that he was shocked by what the ape-man had said. This ape-man wasn't even from this region.

  According to him, he was dispersed by a sudden appearance of beasts during a grand hunting event. Unable to distinguish the direction and with beasts chasing behind, he had no choice but to keep walking towards the sun's zenith for several days.

  In the end, he got rid of the beast and was so hungry that he almost fainted. He then encountered a group of super apes who were out picking wild fruits and was brought here.

  "So, the Kuroiwa village is roughly in our northern direction, several days' journey away. That's quite far! The beast attack he mentioned, won't it be because of me driving out the Kongou with fire that day? Did Kongou move to that side?"

  Chen Xu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed after careful consideration, his guess was indeed somewhat possible, if that's the case, then all of this would be really too coincidental!

  Thinking of the ape-like man's expression when he saw the wooden house, as if he had seen a ghost, and then thinking of the ape-like man's excitement when he saw the blazing bonfire and the rolling pottery on it, Chen Xuan quickly threw away these miscellaneous thoughts.

  A sudden movement in his heart, thinking "It seems that this Blackrock Clan is also a clan that can use flames, but these ceramics, they can't possibly have!"

  "This ape-man seems to be quite moved, which means that the possibility of a transaction has arisen. I just don't know if there is a legacy crystal in this Blackrock tribe. My cultivation is stuck on the last step of the second heavy sky, and no matter what, I can't reach the realm of the third heavy sky. I hope it won't disappoint me!"

  A gleam flashed in Chen Xu's eyes, and he shouted loudly, summoning the ape-man general who was working outside to prepare the tribe's weapons and call back all the warriors in the tribe. Perhaps, there was something to be done.

  On the other side of the tribe, the black rock tribe's ape man was not polite at all. Except for being slightly guarded at first, when the super ape man presented him with meat soup, he completely relaxed himself.

  At this time, he was holding a ceramic bowl, facing the meat slices inside and eating with gusto, his face filled with an intoxicated expression.

  Moreover, if it weren't for the surrounding apes watching closely, he might have swallowed the ceramic bowl in his hand whole, thinking it was a divine artifact bestowed upon him by heaven.

  Even in the great Blackrock Chieftain's place, he had never seen such a divine artifact.

  It has to be said that the sights and experiences on this journey have broadened the horizons of this ape who thought he had seen it all. What civilization of such grandeur had he ever witnessed? What exquisite artifacts had he ever experienced?

  Compared with them, those originally exquisite stone tools in the Kuroiwa tribe seemed like grains of sand that were hard to bear.

  As for the jealous glances of those apes who were envious of the Fire God tribe, this black rock ape who was immersed in a wonderful fantasy naturally filtered them out. Unbeknownst to him, a great idea rose up in his heart.

  "If I could bring back this wonderful vessel, what reward would the Black Rock leader give me? The right to rule a small tribe, or that female ape-man I've been coveting for so long?"

  Unconsciously, as he swallowed the delicious food he had never tasted in his life, this black rock ape man was drawing a beautiful future in his heart. It seemed that he thought of a certain beautiful female ape in the tribe, and his lower body hardened involuntarily!
