Chapter Thirty-Eight: Annexation
"Roar!"
The super ape who was beaten and dazed quickly came to his senses, starting to struggle constantly. The terrifying giant palms kept flipping, causing the ground nearby to shake violently. The hard earth road surface beneath him was directly pulled out of a large pit, as one can imagine, how great his strength was.
But all of this seemed to be in vain, under Chen Xu's forceful trampling, he only felt as if there was a huge mountain pressing on his body, not to mention standing up, even moving slightly required great effort.
As he shook more violently, the big pit under him grew bigger and bigger. Gradually, his entire body sank into the ground, yet he still couldn't get free.
In an instant, the rabbit rose and fell, with extraordinary speed. The mountain valley tribe's crowd of apes had just finished cheering and hadn't even had time to let out a second cheer when their super warrior was smashed to the ground and couldn't get up again.
Naturally, their voices disappeared all of a sudden.
And seeing the Fire God so brave, although they had already seen this scene before, but the people of the Fire God tribe couldn't help but cheer up, and the attitude of the people in the Valley Tribe began to change, looking at Chen Xu's gaze also revealed a hint of fear.
Even the old ape man who was originally full of complex colors is like this. The strong, no matter where they are, are respected by people.
"Grandma's, it has actually grown into such a big lump, purely in terms of strength, it's almost comparable to when I first promoted to the early stage of the Second Heaven. If not careful, it won't be easy to take down this big lump!"
On the surface, a calm and composed appearance, but secretly Chen Xuan let out a sigh of relief. This ape's strength was extremely formidable, its body nearly over two meters tall, with muscles that were sturdy and compact, full of terrifying explosive power.
If it weren't for the assistance of his inner energy, relying solely on physical strength, Chen Xu really didn't have the confidence to defeat this big guy, let alone pin him down with just one foot.
But things didn't go as expected, at this moment, it was clear that Chen Xu had won the challenge and also won the hearts of the captured warriors. Perhaps in their simple minds, losing to such a strong opponent and joining a tribe with such a powerful leader wasn't an unacceptable thing.
Soon, the super ape stopped struggling, and Chen Xu naturally saw fit to stop, he didn't want to suffocate this powerful fellow to death.
If it were in the jungle, if everyone's mind wasn't already clouded with anger, he wanted to subdue him so simply, that was a pipe dream, utterly impossible!
Wiping the mud off his face, he let out two grunts and Super Ape got up from the ground, took a couple of deep breaths, stared at Chen Xu's calm face for a moment, then lowered his head and walked over to the two waiting soldiers, letting them bind him up.
Faced with the formidable Chen Xu, the last bit of stubbornness in his heart was crushed to dust. At this moment, he had already surrendered!
"Anything else?"
He ordered the crowd to take these thirty-odd elite warriors into the dense forest, Chen Xu patted the old ape man's shoulder in approval, and then asked about the hunting team.
Although the old ape had no concept of numbers in his heart, he also knew how many, nodded suddenly, and began to gesture towards Chen Xu.
After a strenuous analysis, Chen Xu finally understood that there were five hunting teams in the tribe, one of which was captured in the valley, two were captured here, and the other two had not returned.
And now the two captured ones are the strongest two hunting teams in the tribe, and the super ape is the real leader of the mountain valley tribe, while the old ape is just a shaman.
Having learned this, Chen Xu suddenly had complete control over the remaining two hunting teams of the captives, believing that with the fact of the tribal leader's surrender, things would be much simpler.
It wasn't until then that Chen Xuan had the time to go take a look at the prey of these two hunting teams. He couldn't help but say, their hunting abilities were quite good, they caught seven prey with blood and flesh all over them.
This prey was all black, about two meters long and short, and did not belong to any species that Chen Xu recognized. Moreover, it looked like a carnivore with sharp teeth.
"Does this count as an unexpected gain?"
After a few rounds, Chen Xu ordered his men to collect the spoils of war and clean up the battlefield, continuing to wait for the next wave of apes.
About half an hour later, the moon gradually rose from the horizon, and the dense stars in the sky also lit up one by one. The forest was once again quiet, and the other two groups of apes returned under the starry night sky.
Before they arrived, Chen Xu had already received the report of his subordinates, so he was well prepared. As soon as these thirty or so apes appeared, he surrounded them with absolute numbers near the mountain valley entrance.
Everything is not much different from before, if you must say that there is, then it's just that these two teams of apemen are not as strong as the previous two, and this hunt seems to have suffered some losses, with several apemen covered in blood and looking extremely dejected, unable to maintain their standing posture.
Facing the powerful tribe led by Chen Xu, these two teams of apemen were quite hesitant under the persuasion of the old apeman. However, after seeing the robust super apeman among the captives and his two formidable hunting teams, the last bit of stubbornness in the apemen's hearts was dispelled.
By now, the Fire Tribe had successfully annexed the Valley Tribe, and it only took an afternoon at that. The efficiency was so high that it probably broke all records in the Stone Age.
At this time, the sky was already late and it was not suitable to return immediately. The mouth of the valley was also because of the heat wave, and there were no beasts that dared to approach, so Chen Xu decided to rest here for a night.
The bonfire was lit, and some of the most elite warriors from five hunting teams in the mountain valley tribe were also released. Under the guidance of the old ape man, they sat down beside the bonfire with Chen Xu's men.
As for the more than 100 mountain valley tribesmen left, in order to avoid trouble, Chen Xu did not untie their restraints and could only temporarily inconvenience them for one night.
The strongest warriors of more than a dozen mountain valley tribes led by the Super Ape, who were released by Chen Xu, saw this scene and didn't say anything.
As long as Chen Xu does not resort to murderous means, the grievances of these ordinary clan members are all disregarded. What's more, now that they have joined a new tribe, they must prioritize the interests of this new tribe.
Although they haven't yet developed the obvious class consciousness of the old apemen, in their subconsciousness, they also know that their future status will be entirely determined by the fire god's decision.
In matters related to their own interests, they soon became familiar with Chen Xu under the introduction of Lao Yuanren, especially Super Ape II.
He seems to possess wisdom no less than that of the old ape man, and is a rather special existence in the entire mountain valley tribe.
Adding to that his fighting power, which is not much inferior to the Super Ape, in fact, in the original mountain valley tribe, he was the real core. The Super Ape was just a fighter, and the old ape was just a doctor.
This time, in the entire mountain valley tribe, Super Ape II was the second person to realize that life might undergo tremendous changes afterwards. He was also the second ape to fawn on Chen Xuan after Old Ape.
As for this Super Ape No. 2, Chen Xu was not unfamiliar with it. As early as when he entered the mountain forest, he was the first ape to react from the raging sea of fire.
After a few simple conversations, Chen Xu found that the tone of this ape's speech was also very clear, even if it wasn't as good as the old ape, it wasn't far off either.
"Is this the flash point in the course of evolution? Humans emerged from a small number of special apes, gradually spread and eventually evolved into a magnificent civilization?"
An idea flashed through his mind, Chen Xu was naturally more delighted with such a clever subordinate, after all, only with more people like this could he better implement his plan and greatly change the world.
"The old ape can help other apes to enlighten, this super ape number two can become a lone leader of the wise general, from now on it will be called Ape General!"
While getting information about this place from these apes, Chen Xu planned out the future use of these apes. Soon, Old Ape and Super Ape No. 2, also known as General Ape, had their own destination.
And that super ape is directly classified as a fierce general in the charge of Chen Xu, if not used like this, wouldn't it be a waste?
Soon, the prey on the bonfire was cooked, and Ape No. 1 brought the prey in front of Chen Xu, while the leader of the ape team waited beside him, waiting for Chen Xu's distribution.
In front of the new recruits, Chen Xu distributed the prey they had hunted, first showing his unique authority in the tribe, and secondly, he refined the differences among them, thoroughly implementing the law of survival of the fittest.
Of course, as the first meal, every ape on the field can eat enough, and the difference is only whether they can eat happily or not.
As for those captives, they naturally had nothing to eat and could only stare blankly at their fellow countrymen who were originally just like them, squatting by the bonfire and devouring the food that should have also belonged to them.
Unconsciously, differentiation gradually emerged. The class consciousness that should have been slowly incubated in the long era was pulled out of people's hearts by Chen Xu in advance.
At this moment, the Mountain Ape Tribe was completely annihilated, not only in reality but also in the minds of all apes. After Super Ape and General Ape swallowed their first mouthfuls of meat, the Mountain Ape Tribe had already perished in the hearts of those captured apes.
Under the temptation of food, they just know now that they belong to the Fire God tribe.
