Chapter 185 - The Ape King’s Abilities (1/2)

Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but grab onto Parker’s fur as she looked at Vincent with fear and suspicion.

Vincent quickly reassured her, saying, “I don’t know why you’re hiding your identity, but I won’t tell anyone. The ape tribe’s capabilities are different from those of other tribes. Their level isn’t related to their armed strength. It’s related to this.”

Vincent pointed at his head.

“The higher their level, the smarter they are?” Bai Qingqing then coughed, feeling that she sounded like a country bumpkin who lived deep in the mountains.

Vincent didn’t detect anything unusual and didn’t seem to find Bai Qingqing strange. He explained, “It’s somewhat related, but what’s more important are their mental powers. They can use them to do many things.”

“Such as…?”

“Communicating with the gods.” Vincent’s facial expression changed to one of fear as he said this.

Bai Qingqing was shocked. If she wasn’t already sitting down, she would be scared into sitting down.

“That’s why the ape king has a higher status than the other three beast kings?” Bai Qingqing averted her eyes and mumbled. “He’s a swindler.”

The ape tribe was so smart. It was completely possible that they lied about their connection with the gods to gain the trust of the beastmen—just as humans in primitive societies did. If the ape king could truly communicate with the gods, why hadn’t he noticed her origins after all this time?

As for their mental powers, Bai Qingqing knew nothing about them.

“What’s a swindler?” Vincent had a curious look on his face—something Bai Qingqing rarely saw. “Is it something that swings in the wind?”

“Pft!” She covered her mouth and laughed. “No. I’m just spouting nonsense.”
