Chapter 7 Kara Dezi-1

There is a wood on the terrace a mile from the sea.Old Ape Kochak is furious with his "subjects". The younger and more agile members of his tribe fled to the taller branches of the tree in a hurry to escape his punishment.They would rather risk their lives to climb a branch that could barely support their weight than to see old Kochak look fierce when he ignited such an uncontrollable anger. The other males also fled in all directions, but only when the enraged beast felt he had to open his foaming jaws to bite someone's spine off. An unlucky little female ape missed the falcon for a moment and fell from a very high branch, landing right at Kochak's feet.

He threw himself on her with a loud cry, bared his sharp and powerful teeth, tore a piece of flesh from her stomach, and beat her head and shoulders viciously with a thick branch until her head was cut off. The child was beaten badly. Then, he found Kara.She had just returned from foraging with her baby, and had no idea that the strong male ape was throwing a tantrum until she heard his companions screaming to warn her, and then ran frantically to safety . But Kochak was on his way, and if she hadn't leaped into the air and jumped desperately from one tree to another, he would have grabbed her by the ankle.This is a risky move that apes rarely take unless they are desperate and desperate.

She jumped over successfully, but just as she grabbed the branch of the tree in front of her, her body shook violently, knocking off the little ape who was desperately grabbing her neck.She watched helplessly as the little thing tumbled, twirled, and fell to the ground from a height of thirty feet. Kara exclaimed in pain, completely ignoring Kochak's threat to her.By the time she hugged the bloody little thing to her chest, he was dead. She sat there holding the little ape's body and whimpering, and Kochak didn't bother her anymore.The death of the little monkey made his sudden thunderous rage suddenly a thing of the past.

Kochak was a very massive king of apes, weighing three hundred and fifty pounds. His forehead was unusually low and sloped back.On either side of the flat nose, the small bloodshot eyes were set close together.His ears are large and thin, smaller than most of his kind. Extremely bad temper and incomparable strength made him a superior position in this small tribe.He was born here about twenty years ago. Now, he was in his prime, and no other ape dared to challenge him for the throne in this jungle army where he could roam.Other animals that were bigger than him did not dare to harass him.

In this savage world, only Old Tant the Elephant was not afraid of him, and only Old Tant the Elephant made him fear.When Tante was victorious, the giant ape and his companions hurriedly fled to the "second platform" formed by the higher branches. The tribe of apes that Kochak ruled with an iron fist and teeth consisted of six or eight "families."Each "family" consists of an adult male ape, several female apes and their offspring, totaling about sixty or seventy apes. Kara is the youngest mate of a male monkey named Tabrant - which means "broken nose".The little ape she fell to her death was her first child.She was only nine or ten years old.

Although she was young, she was big and strong, a rather beautiful ape with well-proportioned limbs.She was round and tall, which meant she was more intelligent than most of her kind, and he was also more capable of expressing maternal love and grief. But she was only an ape after all, a monstrous animal species related to the orangutan.She's big and fierce, but a little smarter.Combined with the powers of their "cousin, cousin" the gorilla, this race became the scariest of humanity's formidable ancestors. Now, when the members of the tribe saw that Kochak had calmed down, they all descended from the tree, and each continued to do what they had been interrupted.

Smaller apes played in the trees and bushes, and some great apes lay prone on the soft dead leaves that covered the ground, while others searched for beetles and reptiles in the branches and clods of soil, which was part of their food. . Others went to the surrounding trees to find wild fruits, nuts, small birds and eggs. After about an hour of this, Kochak called them together, and at a word they all followed him to the beach. When they go hiking, they have to walk on the ground most of the time, because there are no trees in these places.They followed the path blazed by elephants.Only these giant pets can make their way through the maze of tangled bushes, vines and creepers.

Walking back and forth in this way will open up paths.They walked awkwardly, as if rolling forward.The clenched fists hang down on the ground, and the bulky body moves forward. But when they came to the woods, they walked much faster.They swung from branch to branch with the agility of their tiny cousins, the monkeys.Along the way, Carla held her dead baby close to her chest. Just after noon they climbed a hill overlooking the beach.Below that is the destination of Kochak's trip - the neat little house. He had seen more than once a strange "white ape" living in this comfortable "nest". The little black stick in his hand could burst out with deafening noises, and many of their kind had died in that noise.The vicious Kochak has long made up his mind to take this thing that made his friends die for himself, and to investigate in that mysterious "cave".

He wanted very, very much to feel what it would be like to have his teeth on the neck of the monster he hated and dreaded.Therefore, I often lead my subordinates to scout in this area, waiting for the time when this "white ape" relaxes his vigilance. Recently, they dared not attack the hut, not even showing their heads.Because when the little black stick saw them, it roared angrily, and then some of its companions were sent to death. On this day, there was no one around the hut.From the ridge where they were sheltered they could see the door of the hut was wide open.Slowly, carefully, and noiselessly, they made their way through the dense forest to the hut.

No one howled, or howled in anger—the little black stick had taught them to keep quiet so as not to "wake it up." They got closer and closer, and Kochak had sneaked to the door, looking inside.Behind him came the two male apes, and then Carla, still clutching her dead baby in her arms. They saw that in the hut, that strange "white ape" was lying on a table, with his head resting on his arms, and there was something vaguely lying on the bed, covered with a tarpaulin.From a rusty cradle came the plaintive cry of a baby. Kochak walked in silently, crouching down to pounce.Startled, John Chleton rose abruptly, and looked at them face to face.
