Chapter 88 Interest in the Corpse
The death of his companion made the centaur furious. He waved the war spear in his hand, locked on the hyena man who had succeeded in the sneak attack, and rushed over.
The other party took action with anger, and the speed at which it exploded was simply astonishing.
The hyena man, who one moment thought he had succeeded in the sneak attack and was showing off his power, was frightened by the centaur that burst out at supernormal speed and rushed in front of him the next moment.
The astonishing momentum of the charge was combined with the sudden thrust of the war spear in his hand. The blow came too fast. Although the hyena man made an emergency evasive action, he could not completely avoid it. The sharp blow The spearhead sank directly into the opponent's shoulder.
In an instant, blood spattered, and the hyena grinned in pain. At the same time, he grabbed the handle of the war spear with both arms and tried to break free.
When the centaur saw this, he became furious and held the spear in both hands, intending to lift the hyena's entire body just like he had used the war spear to pick up the antelope.
But this time, things did not go smoothly.
During the strength contest between the two sides, only a crisp sound of 'click' was heard. Along with scattered wood chips, the war spear broke on the spot. The hyena man who received the spear quickly moved toward him with his hands and feet. Escape far away.
But how could the centaur be willing to just let it go?
With his backhand, he took off the bow and arrows on his back and prepared to pursue them with bows and arrows.
But during this period, other hyenas around them were already attacking.
There are more people on the opposite side. The centaur companions want to support them, but they are unable to escape in a short time because of the entanglement of other hyena people.
The change in the situation forced the centaur to give up the pursuit and choose to retreat.
During this period, Zhou Xu, who was watching the whole process, was also filled with thoughts in his mind...
[After the hyenas succeeded in the sneak attack, they took the initiative to provoke the centaurs. It was definitely not just a bad character. Their behavior was somewhat similar to Li Ce. They wanted to use this method to make the centaurs lose their minds. 】
【However, the hyena man probably didn’t expect that the centaur would explode at such an alarming speed after being angered. Even though it had been prepared to avoid the attack, it could not completely dodge it. open. 】
【At the same time, the centaur was still calm. He may have been blinded by anger for a moment and launched an attack, but after realizing that the situation was not right, he immediately calmed down. Angry, he made a relatively rational response. 】
Through observing the battle in the distance, Zhou Xu was undoubtedly fully aware that the centaurs and hyenas were not easy to deal with.
Just when Zhou Xu felt that his tribe had a "no bright future" because of the existence of these two "neighbors", the hyena man in the middle of the chaos had already taken advantage of the chaos and made off with the prey of two antelopes.
After receiving the signal, the other hyenas did not entangle with the centaurs at all and dispersed on the spot.
Obviously, the hyena people's top priority goal has always been only one, and that is to take away the prey snatched from the centaurs.
But if they just pick up the prey and run away, they will definitely be pursued by the centaurs.
In terms of speed, they are no match for the Centaurs.
So if you want to take away the prey smoothly, you must first entangle the centaur.
Only then did the battle break out later.
Of course, they don't mind killing a few centaurs in battle to reduce the threat the other party brings to them.
It was an unexpected situation to sacrifice the life of a hyena man.
But it doesn’t matter, hyena people are cunning and cruel by nature, and they don’t care much about the life and death of their own people.
In their opinion, if a hyena man dies, there will be one less person to share the food with.
So when they evacuated, they didn't care about the bodies of their clan members and ran away.
On the other hand, after watching the group of hyenas flee in all directions, the centaurs knew that continuing to pursue them was just a waste of time. They surrounded the bodies of their companions with grief and anger on their faces, as if in silent mourning. Then the two centaurs leaned over and lifted the body of their companion and placed it on the horse of another companion.
With a loud roar, he left the area with his companion's body.
Watching the two groups of people move away, Zhou Xu, who had released his 'Eye of Insight', couldn't help but blink his eyes fiercely.
If you use the 'Eye of Insight' for a long time, in addition to consuming the corresponding mantra power, your eyes will also become sore and swollen due to excessive use of your eyes.
At this moment, Zhou Xu could hardly keep his eyes open.
Because he was so sore and swollen, he could only relieve it by blinking constantly.
"Zhongshan and Jinghong, there is no need to bring anyone else with you. You two get ready and we will go there."
At this moment, the idea in Zhou Xu's mind is very simple, then I just wanted to see if I could retrieve the body of the hyena man.
After all, he possesses the mantra of "Skeleton Soldier Control", which makes him particularly interested in all kinds of corpses.
【The body of a hyena man? If this can be controlled using the mantra of 'Skeleton Soldier Control', is it considered a special unit? No, no, really speaking, the skeleton soldiers themselves are already a special unit, right? 】
With this thought in mind, the three of them took action quickly.
Originally, Zhou Xu wanted Zhou Chongshan and Ye Jinghong to do this.
However, considering that there is a certain risk in getting close to that side, after all, he still has a 'speed enhancement' mantra on him.
He followed. If the crisis really came, he would tell everyone the truth and help them run away faster.
This is also the main reason why he only brought Zhou Chongshan and Ye Jinghong with him. Not only because the two of them have excellent combat power, but more importantly, he will activate the mantra and only give three of them acceleration. Consumption will be smaller.
The distance was still quite far, and it took them a lot of time. Before they were completely close to the scene, Zhou Xu gently raised his hand to signal Zhou Chongshan and Ye Jinghong to wait a moment.
【Eye of Insight! 】
Out of caution, he opened the 'Eye of Insight' again and scanned the surrounding area.
After confirming that both the centaur and the hyena man had indeed completely left, and that there were no other potential threats around, they felt relieved and led Zhou Chongshan and Ye Jinghong towards the body of the hyena man.
While checking the surroundings with the 'Eye of Insight' just now, he also locked the position of the hyena corpse, and now he is heading straight for the target.
After getting closer, Zhou Xu discovered that the hyena man's death was like bleeding from all his orifices, and his entire chest was exaggeratedly sunken, and he could clearly see the horse's hoof prints on it.
Looking at the body of the hyena man, Zhou Xu did not hesitate and directly activated the mantra...
[Skeleton Soldier Control! 】
However, the body of the hyena man lying on the ground showed no reaction.
This situation made Zhou Xu frown, and a new suspicion arose in his heart.
“Zhongshan, put the body on your back, let’s leave here first!”
Update is here, thank you book friends for the reward of ‘never lose’!
