"Living creature!"
Looking at the black shadows that flashed past like apes, Jiang Xuan did not expect that there were any living beings on this island far away from the continental shelf.
What is it?
He is dark and not very big, he should be a monkey or an orangutan.
Jiang Xuan didn't see it clearly either, but after thinking about it for a moment, he decided to follow up and take a look.
"Zhizhizhi..."
The black shadow is running in front, and Jiang Xuan is chasing behind.
Although the black shadow is very flexible and can leap back and forth between trees, Jiang Xuan's speed is not slow. With the blessing of Qinggong movement, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can run as fast as a cheetah.
That's it.
The two chased each other and walked into the depths of the jungle together.
"Squeak..."
It seems that he is aware that he is being chased.
As soon as he took off, the black shadow suddenly turned around and bared his teeth at Jiang Xuan.
Enter the eyes.
What kind of ape is this? It's clearly a three-foot-tall little monster with a green face and fangs.
Jiang Xuan was startled.
The little monster didn't, but stood proudly on the branch, making a weird squeaking sound.
Swish, swish...
As the sound passed, there were also squeaking responses from all around.
For a time, the whole island was filled with cries from all over the place, as if they were responding to the call of their companions.
One.
Two.
Three...
There were dark shadows in the jungle, and little monsters appeared in Jiang Xuan's sight one after another.
Jiang Xuan looked up.
These green-faced and fanged little things, as ugly as yakshas, ​​actually have weapons in their hands.
It was a kind of throwing spear made of branches, and some of the spear tips had wild fruits and sea fish skewered on them.
For a while.
Jiang Xuan stood on the ground.
The little monsters stood on the tree in twos and threes, surrounding him and throwing spears.
Eyes facing each other.
Jiang Xuan couldn't help but wonder whether these were a group of monsters or a tribe of ugly and short savages. After all, they could make and use tools.
"Zhizhi..."
More and more monsters gathered together, and soon there were two to three hundred of them gathered here.
They looked at Jiang Xuan with bared teeth, as if they were protesting against his uninvited guest.
Whoosh...
Led by a monster that looked like an older man, countless spears flew towards Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan mobilized his zhenqi instantly, and all the spears that were thrown at him were stopped by the body-protecting zhenqi.
See this scene.
The screams of the little monsters became more and more crazy, and some couldn't help but jump down from the trees, holding stones, wooden sticks, fish bones of large sea fish, or some rattans full of thorns.
Rushed up.
"Fire sets a prairie fire..."
Jiang Xuan clenched his hands, and his true energy was released from himself, like a dam bursting.
The next moment.
The little monsters who rushed in front bore the brunt of the impact. Under the impact of the infuriating air waves, they screamed and flew back as if they had been hit by a car.
Just this time.
Twenty or thirty little monsters were stunned on the spot. When other monsters saw it, they all looked frightened, dropped their weapons and ran away.
"Has its own language and can use tools easily."
"The IQ is higher than that of monkeys, but not up to human standards. They look like a group of short savages. Apart from their green faces and fangs, their physical strength is actually very average..."
Jiang Xuan assessed the strength of these little monsters.
They are short in stature, flexible and quick, but their strength is also weaker than that of normal people, roughly equivalent to that of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.
Taken together.
They can still fight against ordinary pirates, but when faced with elite border troops from various countries wearing heavy armor, the damage these little monsters can cause is probably worse than that of peasant rebels holding hoes.
Zhizhizhi...
The little monsters fled in all directions, wishing their parents had more legs.
Jiang Xuan did not chase after him, because he knew from the sound that there were at least one or two thousand of these little monsters living here. Catching and killing them all over the jungle would definitely be a big project.
And there’s no point in killing them.
Just don't disturb his schedule. After all, Jiang Xuan came here not to look for savages, but to look for traces of immortals.
"Fairy!"
I thought of a fairy word.
Jiang Xuan was suddenly curious again. If this island was really a resource point of an ancient fairy sect as he thought, then where did these little monsters come from?
Are they servants and coolies of immortals?
Or are they just a batch of experimental products, used as living samples for the immortals, a group of monkeys used to test medicine?
Too little information.
He also knows little about it.
But it can be expected that these little monsters must be related to the ancient immortal sect.
With this thought.
Jiang Xuan continued to search on the island.
This time, after knowing how powerful he was, the little monsters no longer dared to cause trouble. They only dared to follow him from a distance, jumping on the branches from time to time, as if to declare their sovereignty.
Jiang Xuan doesn't care about this.
Even when a little monster fell from the tree and landed in front of him because of excitement, Jiang Xuan did not attack it when he saw the monster's dull look.
So.
Perhaps aware of his kind nature, these little monsters who defended their homeland no longer roared at him. Instead, after a while of muttering to each other, a thinner-looking little monster jumped down from the tree.
, presented him with an unknown red mulberry fruit.
"For me?"
Look at the ape offering peaches, holding a handful of mulberry fruits, like a little monster trying to feed him.
Jiang Xuan was also dumbfounded: "If you are strong, you will surrender, if you are weak, you will conquer the superior. You guys know the current affairs."
"Zhizhizhi..."
Don’t eat when you see him.
The little monster who presented the gift thought that he would not eat it, so he threw a mulberry fruit in his mouth and then made an expression of enjoyment towards him.
"It's delicious and not poisonous, right?"
Jiang Xuan tried to pick up a mulberry fruit, then put it in his mouth and took a bite.
Hmm.
The entrance is green and slightly sweet, and tastes just like ordinary mulberries.
And anyone who has eaten mulberry fruit knows that it is edible, but it is not very delicious. Especially some mulberry fruits in the wild are astringent than sweet, and can only be regarded as inferior among many fruits.
"Squeak!"
See Jiang Xuan eating the gift.
The little monsters cheered and raised their hands to point to the mountains to the north, as if they wanted to take him somewhere.
Jiang Xuan did not refuse and allowed these little monsters to lead the way.
That's it.
After traveling for about a mile or two, Jiang Xuan was brought to the foot of a large ancient tree.
Enter the eyes.
An old and frail monster that looked like a leader was sitting under the tree, writing and drawing on the ground with a branch.
"Zhizhi..."
See it.
All the little monsters bowed down and worshiped, as if they were surrendering to the leader.
Where is Jiang Xuan?
Not that I care about the social attributes of these little monsters, but I am very interested in the gesture of the monster leader holding the branch.
Because when the monster leader holds the branch, he does not hold it, but uses his thumb, index finger, and middle finger to sandwich the branch like a human would, just like holding a pen.
"Hello..."
Look at Jiang Xuan.
The leader-like monster tilted his head and wrote on the ground: "I'm happy to see you..."
"Can you write?"
Jiang Xuan was very surprised.
"The wise...teach me..."
The monster leader writes very slowly: "I can write...not much..."
Wise man!
Jiang Xuan thought of Shen Zu, who visited this island ten years ago.
The wise man here must be none other than Shen Zu.
"I...the tribe...the wise men..."
The monster leader tried hard to express what he meant: "Are you... a descendant of a wise man..."
"No."
"I am not a descendant of the ancestor of Shen, I am just a person who follows in his footsteps."
Seeing the monster leader looking confused, he couldn't understand.
Jiang Xuan said again: "I, the wise man, my friend..."
"Friends!"
The monster leader looked very happy, pointed at himself, and wrote the word "friend" on the ground, as if to say: 'I am also a friend of the wise.'
"Loneliness..."
Finished.
The monster leader showed a sad look: "I miss...the wise man..."
Jiang Xuan can understand.
Although the IQs of these little monsters are not low, as can be seen from their ability to make and use tools, their IQs must be higher than those of orangutans and dogs.
And it's obvious.
The monster leader has a higher IQ. Under the guidance of Shen Zu, it even learned to listen to human language and read and write characters.
But this is not luck.
After Shenzu left, there was no one who could talk to it or communicate with it through words.
Its tribesmen only use different squeaks to express their meaning, which makes it feel that it is out of tune with the tribe.
Compare.
This feeling is like a time traveler who has traveled to the body of an orangutan. He has no contact with humans and can only live with the orangutans in the community.
Lift your eyes and look around.
Surrounded by orangutans just like me.
But it does not regard itself as a gorilla, but as a lonely person.
