Chapter 21 Return and New Plan
The way back was quite smooth. Apart from encountering a few wild beasts that Chen Xu called the arrow pigs, which brought them some gains.
Along the road I had known before, this vast army had been trekking for three hours and finally left the dense forest when it was getting dark and approached the hill.
Separating the dense forest, Chen Xu took the ape men to the top of the mountain, allowing the ape men to stay on the top of the mountain, and he himself climbed the rope and entered the cave.
Seeing Chen Xu return, the apes left behind in the cave naturally came out to greet him. After checking, Chen Xu found that these ten apes were doing well. Not only did they collect a large amount of firewood, but they also picked many unknown wild fruits.
In addition, the jackals were all roasted, just waiting for their return.
After passing the apes and coming to a corner of the cave, where lying was the bamboo spears refined by the apes today. Although there were not many, there were still hundreds of them. It seemed that these apes were not lazy at all.
After picking up a bamboo spear, Chen Xu looked it carefully and bent it hard, and found that although the bamboo spear was rough, it was hard enough to be used.
Put down the map on his body and hide it. Chen Xu shouted and ordered the apes in the cave to move out some prey and take some burned firewood as a fire-driven item.
Although this cave is not small, it can only be inhabited by thirty apes. No matter how many there are, it will be enough space and the sanitary conditions will not meet Chen Xu's requirements.
Even when he came to this Stone Age, he did not want to live in the pit every day.
In fact, with the addition of more than thirty apes from this new tribe, including the ten warriors of the new tribe, the number of people in this tribe has reached 60. This cave is far from enough for them to survive and it is urgent to open up new living space.
Besides, although there are many people and the power is great, the food consumption will naturally be greater. Although the amount of prey that Chen Xu and others went out to hunt a few days ago was very large, it was only for the original number of more than a dozen apes.
With the current number of tribes of 60 people, including the three or four pigs killed today, the remaining food in the tribe is not enough to last for two days, so a new hunting plan is imminent.
After the ape man in the cave took out the food and torches and climbed to the top of the mountain, Chen Xu picked up the firewood beside him. The knowledge of his previous life annihilated the flames in the cave, maintaining a dark burning state, so that the open flames were extinguished and the dark fire lurked for later use.
The geographical location of this cave is unique, and Chen Xu did not intend to give up. In fact, he had already planned to build the cave into a tribal holy land.
After dealing with the bonfire problem, walking a few steps to the edge of the cave, looking at the forest below the hill under the hazy night, Chen Xu's eyes flashed and he whispered to himself, "The jungle below the hill is a very suitable location."
"This jungle is very close to the river and is convenient to get water. If it can be opened into a tribal territory, it can also start fishing on a large scale. In this way, the food problem can be temporarily solved!"
"Just look at the attitude of No. 1 Ape Man and Captain Ape Man, there should be a powerful group living in this jungle, occupying this territory, making wild beasts and humans dare not get close. It seems that this matter needs planning!"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Xu looked at the jungle on the east side and the jade belt river on the edge of the jungle, and his eyes were flowing, obviously moved!
He reached out and grabbed the rope hanging from the entrance of the cave. Chen Xu thought for a while, then carried a jackal from the cave and quickly rushed up the cliff.
On the top of the mountain, according to his order, the bonfire had risen, and fresh prey had been put on the bonfire. The rich fragrance emanated and continued to attack the taste buds of the apes.
Especially the thirty apes who have recently joined, they have been hungry for a few days and are almost red in their eyes as they look at the oil flowers that keep flashing on the bonfire.
If they had not been instructed by Captain Ape Man, they might have come forward to fight for it this time. However, in this new tribe, no one would dare to act rashly without the permission of Chen Xu, the God of Fire.
As soon as Chen Xu appeared, all the ape people looked at him, with a hint of desire in awe, and it seemed that they were really hungry!
Seeing this, Chen Xu smiled slightly and threw the jackal boss on his shoulder to the Ape No. 1. After No. 1 quickly took it to bake it, Mance took out the wild fruits collected by the Apes and distributed them to everyone.
However, this distribution method is that there are more strong people and fewer weak people, Chen Xu himself occupied one tenth. The remaining ones are divided into more strong soldiers in the hunting team, and those female apes are also assigned, and some of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled are very rare.
No one of the apes had any objections to this distribution method. Unconsciously, with the Fire God Chen Xu as the leader, a vague superior and subordinate emerged in this tribe.
Not long after, the beasts were roasted, and Chen Xu was still the one who performed the distribution. However, considering that today is the day when the new tribe was officially established, Chen Xu, who still could not wake up from the civilized life of his previous life, felt a celebration in his heart, and distributed the food generously and relatively fairly.
This made the sixty apes in the tribe, although not every one could be full, but it could ensure that every one would not be hungry!
For a moment, the newly joined ape people cheered, and their desire to accept this new leader was stronger, as if they had seen a better life in the future.
That night, the apes on the top of the mountain were happy. On this steep mountain wall, few wild animals could climb up, and coupled with the huge bonfires lit around them, they were very safe.
After eating the barbecue, Chen Xu cooked a few fried eggs with stone slabs. He sat on a huge rock on the top of the mountain and began to practice quietly.
While other strong apes were busy looking for spouses and enjoying their own fun, Chen Xu quietly ran his inner breath, hoping to go further. Although he seemed very powerful at the moment, he knew in his heart that he was just at the bottom of this Stone Age.
Not to mention the mysterious Overlord Sabre-toothed Tiger, even if he comes to a group of jackals, if he is really hungry and has red eyes, he will not be able to gain any advantage, and he may be seriously injured!
And here, Chen Xu is very clear about what a serious injury means!
Not only that, he has absorbed two gold crystals and has confirmed the existence of aliens. If he cannot have enough self-protection before the aliens arrive, perhaps he will be even more miserable than other apes.
At least, other apes do not have his rich wisdom, so they have relatively fewer choices, while he is different. Just like the saying goes, the ignorant is fearless, and if you know more, you will naturally be more afraid.
What's more, there are no medical conditions in the Stone Age. Being sick means death, and being injured means death. Chen Xu didn't want to die before he could succeed. At least he traveled through time. At least he had to see what the alien looked like, kill at least one before he could be content.
Therefore, this could bring him powerful strength and resistance to internal breath, which became his primary choice. Although he was at the late stage of the second level of heaven at this time, his progress was very slow based on his hard work alone, this did not become a reason for his laziness. In this Stone Age, this was his capital to settle down.
Chen Xu's actions made the boundary between him and the apes and men more clearly. Unconsciously, the name of the Fire God was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the apes and men.
