Chapter 12: Overbearing and Arrogant, Asking for Death!
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, three giant saber-toothed tigers slowly approached, and all creatures that had not managed to scurry into the thicket, whether it was a wild boar with gleaming tusks, or a leopard with spots, or a massive rhinoceros with a single horn, or packs of hyenas, or herds of zebras and deer, all trembled with fear, their heads hung low.
These creatures didn't dare make a single move, only crouching on the soft sandy beach, their whole body trembling with fear, waiting for fate's decision.
Chen Xu even saw a few lurking on the shore, originally preparing to ambush the wild horse group's killer crocodile, and now dare not move, as if it had really become a lifeless wooden stick.
Three saber-toothed tigers slowly stepped onto the beach, not even glancing at the animals crouching around them, apparently having no desire to eat.
For some reason, the saber-toothed tiger walking on the edge seemed to have taken an interest in the giant man-eating alligator lying flat in the river water. Chen Xu only felt a sudden gust of wind by his ear, and five silver lights flashed by, as if lightning had appeared. When he looked again, the original giant man-eating alligator that was about 5-6 meters long on the riverbank had instantly been split into four pieces.
As the tip of the saber-toothed tiger's claw slightly lifted, a crocodile corpse flew up from the riverbank and was directly picked up in mid-air. The saber-toothed tiger accurately pounced forward, swallowing this huge block of flesh into its mouth.
After a very human-like moment of chewing, the saber-toothed tiger spat out the remaining alligator meat in its mouth. The fluffy face scrunched up, revealing an adorable expression of distaste, as if it was not to its taste at all.
Similar to this unlucky alligator, in the next short moment, more than a dozen animals were fortunate enough to enjoy the favor of the saber-toothed tiger and were chosen as food objects.
However, it is clear that the three tigers are really full, and they do so only to pass the time. For the vast majority of selected animals, these three tigers simply bite and tear at them casually before abandoning them.
Just as the three tigers were slowly pacing, Chen Xu's eyes flashed, and on the other side of the forest path, in a thicket, he saw something that made his eyes light up.
Looking at the few rough stone cores scattered on the ground over there, Chen Xu's heart moved slightly, and his internal energy slowly circulated, infusing it into his own eyes.
In an instant, Chen Xu felt a coolness in his eyes, and his vision, which had already reached its limit, advanced another four or five meters under the support of his internal energy.
At this time, the situation in the thicket on the other side of the mountain pass clearly fell into Chen Xu's eyes. In the dense underbrush, under the cover of leaves, a black coat appeared in Chen Xu's field of vision after internal breath strengthening.
That hair was exactly the same as Chen Xu and others' hair on their bodies, and it was also the body hair that only belonged to the ape people!
"It's no wonder that in this region, there are not only a small tribe of 14 or 15 people, but also other tribes. This can also explain why these erectus humans were able to evolve into wise men - their population base was too large!"
After confirming that there was another group of primitives in the forest opposite, Chen Xu looked again and found that he could understand the situation in the forest by relying on the physical characteristics of the apemen.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Xuan found that in the grass thicket opposite him, at least eight apemen were hiding. This number was not accurate, but eight should be the minimum!
Relying on the unique oppressive features formed by the apes in the grass, Chen Xu carefully distinguished and confirmed the minimum number of opponents. Unconsciously, he had a thought, and some thoughts arose.
"Good guys, I wonder if these apemen knew that the saber-toothed tiger was coming at this time and came to take advantage of it? Or are they just coincidentally here?"
"No matter what, now that I've found this group of apemen, I won't let them go. At my current rate of internal energy cultivation, who knows how long it'll take to reach the second level of the middle stage? But if I had that mysterious crystal, everything would be much simpler!"
Moreover, in this world, the power of numbers is still very strong. As long as there are more people in the tribe, some actions can be much more convenient.
"If I can find copper ore and smelt bronze ware, even these three guys in front of me won't be a threat."
He carefully observed the situation on that side for a few moments, Chen Xu covered his breath and calmed down to avoid attracting the attention of the sword-toothed tiger, while thinking in his mind, guessing the intentions of those newly appeared apes.
In this Stone Age, the number of people is a standard for whether a tribe is prosperous, and it is also the basis for Chen Xu to show off his past life experience. In this era, apart from increasing automatically through blood ties, there is only one way left, that is, by plundering.
Just as Chen Xu was concentrating, a saber-toothed tiger seemed to have discovered something and suddenly turned its massive head in the direction where Chen Xu was, their gazes meeting instantly.
At this moment, time seems to have frozen.
At the same time that Chen Xu's heart skipped a beat, he also clearly saw the change in the expression of the sword-toothed tiger's eyes. Although he didn't know why, Chen Xu was able to see from the sword-toothed tiger's eyes that it felt stunned, surprised, excited and amused.
That look in his eyes was very familiar to Chen Xuan, because it was the same expression he had when he got a long-awaited toy as a child. At that time, Chen Xuan had even looked into the mirror to confirm what the excited expression written in the book looked like.
It turned out that the eager eyes he had at that time were exactly the same as those of this damned saber-toothed tiger, and if there was any difference, it would be that Chen Xu's eyes weren't as big as this saber-toothed tiger's.
As a loud buzzing sound echoed in his mind, Chen Xu quickly shifted his gaze away, but at this moment, he knew it was already too late. The sword-toothed tiger had definitely noticed him.
At this time, Chen Xu only thought of what mistake he had made, but it was already too late. A creature like the sword-toothed tiger is extremely powerful, and its spiritual power is also very strong. Its reaction to the outside world is very sensitive. At this time, if you say that it didn't discover Chen Xu, that's absolutely impossible.
Coming back to his senses from the great shock, Chen Xu's mind turned rapidly and he quickly thought of the fundamental reason why this sword-toothed tiger would notice him, which was that he had not retracted his strong aura.
He did not converge his spiritual sense, and instead actively infused his inner energy into his eyes, invisibly increasing his already exceptionally powerful spiritual force by another notch.
What's the point of this?
Chen Xu's mental strength was originally like a firefly in the dark night, or lice on a bald head, very obvious to Sword Toothed Tiger who could rely on his air machine to detect his opponent's strength.
