Chapter Eleven: The Unexpected Appearance of the King of the Jungle

  Taking a glance at the small river in front of him, Chen Xu couldn't help but hold his breath for a moment. He had to say that the scene before him was exceptionally beautiful, something he had never seen in his past life.

  All that could be seen was a jade belt of water about ten meters wide in front of him, with sparkling ripples and huge waves sweeping out from time to time.

  The river water on the riverside is very shallow, and from time to time you can see groups of small fish swimming in the clear water. The soft white sandy beach stretches all the way to the entrance of the forest, where it meets the long grass beautifully.

  Not far from Chen Xu and others, there is a small sandy area. In this area, the forest's sphere of influence has slightly retreated, forming a wide platform.

  A familiar little path winds out of a gap in the forest, trodden by countless wild beasts every day, and stretches across the white sandy beach to the shallow water area.

  In the middle of the river, amidst the azure water flow, segments of dark wooden sticks occasionally flip over, as if they were still alive.

  But after seeing these things that looked like tree trunks, Chen Xu's eyes suddenly narrowed, as if he had seen something wrong, and these should be the kings of this river.

  "Are there alligators here?! And look at its size, it's at least 500-600 pounds heavy. This guy is not to be trifled with! It seems my plan to catch fish in this river will have to be put on hold for now."

  "But crocodile skin is a good thing! If it can be used as armor, wouldn't that be much safer?"

  In his mind, Chen Xu's eyes were fixed on the killer crocodile that occasionally rolled over in the middle of the river, constantly thinking about this hunting action.

  At this time, a sudden sound came from the vast riverbank. Chen Xu heard the sound and looked over, only to see that the original drinking water at the river's edge, the horned horses and the bifurcated deer groups all got up, while in a corner of the forest, three fierce beasts with long fangs jumped out.

  At this sight, Chen Xu couldn't help but take a cold breath and muttered to himself "Sword-toothed tiger? Damn it, so the sword-toothed tiger really lives in this era, but how can they be so big?"

  Looking at the saber-toothed tiger, which seemed to be a giant elephant in its previous life, Chen Xu couldn't help but think of the king of beasts in the zoo in his previous life, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed for them.

  I wonder what those tigers would think if they saw this saber-toothed tiger that's comparable to an elephant?

  Shaking his head, Chen Xu swept away the boring thoughts and saw that the few apes behind him were already breathing heavily, their long hair standing on end. He hastily waved his hand, signaling them not to make any sudden moves.

  The fire god was lying steadily in the grass, and there was no panic at all. These monkey people who lacked a screw in their heads soon calmed down as well.

  In their hearts, Chen Xu was the representative of the Fire God. Since Chen Xu wasn't afraid of these three old tigers, they naturally didn't need to be either. Blind trust and worship gradually took root in this team of Chen Xu's at this time.

  Staring intently at the three oversized saber-toothed tigers, Chen Xu involuntarily took a deep breath. The muscles on these tigers' bodies were tightly coiled, and at first glance, their entire being seemed to exude an intimidating aura, as if they possessed a hint of the unstoppable momentum of a steel torrent - that of a tank - from a past life.

  Although they had never clashed before, Chen Xuan could sense the ferocity emanating from the sword-toothed tiger's body and knew that these people were absolutely no match for the three sword-toothed tigers.

  Even if they were to encounter one of them, it would be a disaster for this small tribe of fifteen people.

  It's likely that except for him, the one with the extraordinary inner energy, who can utilize the complex terrain of the primeval forest and his incredible lightness skill to perhaps escape with his life, all others would have no chance of survival at all, and would surely die if they encountered it.

  As he saw the saber-toothed tiger walking on the soft sandy beach, its wide paws rose and fell, leaving only faint footprints on the sand, as if it was a light-footed kung fu from past lives. Chen Xu's heart trembled, and he was no longer as sure as before that he could escape.

  Looking not far away, unhurried and unafraid, like a king, the saber-toothed tiger strolled casually on this beach. Looking at the muscle ripples on its body, as well as the footprints under its feet that were extremely inconsistent with its actual weight, Chen Xu felt his scalp numb, and even his breathing was a bit awkward.

  Even if he didn't know what species these three tigers in front of him were, Chen Xu understood their power at this moment.

  Because from the movements of these tigers, Chen Xu suddenly associated them with the stories of pingshu he had heard in his past life, especially the story of Li Yuanba in "The Heroes of Sui and Tang".

  At that time, Li Yuanba and Yuwen Cheng were competing in strength, both of whom could lift the two thousand-jin stone lions in front of the door. However, after Li Yuanba lifted the stone lion, he was as light as a feather, and the soft soil under his feet didn't sink at all.

  Yuwen Chengdu could also lift the two stone lions, but his feet sank deep into the ground due to the weight, all the way up to his ankles!

  At the sight of this, Li Yuanba was certain that Yuwen Chengdu was absolutely not his opponent. According to Li Yuanba's words, Yuwen Chengdu was someone who could release but not retract, and couldn't even control his own strength, so he wasn't worth fearing at all.

  A true master should be able to lift a thousand catties and ride a bamboo raft across the river, and fundamentally cannot leak power outward. If so, it is just brute force, and in real combat, all the strength cannot be exerted at all, even if two or three tenths can be exerted, it is already a great achievement.

  Yuwen Chengdu is an example, his actual strength is not much inferior to Li Yuanba, but unfortunately he can't control his own power at all, it's just a brute force, so he's not even a match for Li Yuanba.

  Three saber-toothed tigers, as big as those in Bangkok, stepped lightly on the soft sandy beach, their movements as agile as a young girl's. Chen Xu couldn't help but take a deep breath and thought to himself, "Good grief, are these really saber-toothed tigers? In this state, I estimate that if they were to attack with full force, they could leap out of the entire thicket in one bound."

  "These guys have all reached the pinnacle of martial arts, as described by Li Yuanba - effortlessly lifting heavy weights! If I were to fight them, I'm not even sure if I could run away myself!"

  "Good grief, if my guess is correct, within a radius of ten thousand miles, these three saber-toothed tigers are probably the kings. If there's anything more formidable than them out there, then this world is too dangerous!"

  He swallowed his saliva, Chen Xu's arm moved slightly, and the four apemen behind him were pressed down firmly. At the same time, he himself held his breath and remained still, not daring to move a little, lest he startled these three saber-toothed tigers.

  After seeing the terrifying combat power of the three saber-toothed tigers, Chen Xu had no more doubts about their king-like identity, and therefore had no worries at all about the subsequent hunt.

  With these three tigers' terror, if one wants to hunt and kill animals, before the emergence of gunpowder, it's probably a state of having me as invincible.

  So Chen Xu was certain that the three tigers were just out patrolling their territory and had no intention of going out to hunt, because with their combat power, if they wanted to hunt for prey, it would be simply too easy, without any problem at all.
