Chapter 147 Killed with One Arrow
Above the grassland, along with the rising dust in the sky, bursts of rumbling sounds came from the distance, breaking the tranquility of the morning.
In the rolling dust, a herd of antelopes came running wildly.
Needless to say, this area is the main activity area of the antelope group.
Wild antelopes on the grassland generally will not run like this unless they are chased by hunters!
Unsurprisingly, behind the antelope herd, the hunters chasing after them soon appeared. It was the centaur they had observed.
At this moment, the centaurs chasing behind did not seem to be in a hurry to attack, as if they were consuming the antelope herd's physical strength.
When the time was almost up, they pulled out an arrow from the quiver while exploding and accelerating, just as they were preparing to bend the bow and nock an arrow to shoot at the prey.
Suddenly! There was actually an arrow flying from another direction, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and it went directly into the neck of one of the wild antelopes!
In an instant, blood flowers bloom!
The running wild antelope fell to the ground on the spot and was killed with one arrow!
This situation not only frightened the surrounding antelope herds, but also frightened the centaurs chasing behind.
In this fierce hunting process, it is very difficult to kill the running wild antelope with one arrow.
On the one hand, it is because the wild antelope is moving at high speed, and on the other hand, the performance of the bow and arrow weapons of this era is still very limited.
The centaurs who were shocked by the arrow stopped their pursuit, and then looked in the other direction with solemn faces.
That arrow was not shot by any of their clansmen.
Looking across, they saw a group of people headed by Zhou Xu on the grass in the distance, and soon broke into their field of vision.
Seeing that he and others had successfully attracted the attention of the centaurs, Zhou Xu directly raised his voice and shouted...
"We have no ill intentions towards you, we just want to find your leader. Let’s talk!”
While speaking, Zhou Xu waved his hand.
When Zhou Chongshan saw this, without saying a word, he directly motioned to the soldiers behind him to push up the wooden cart containing the body of the Hyena Queen.
Then he threw the body of the Hyena Queen directly on the ground.
"This is the body of the Hyena Queen! This is also the sincerity of my conversation!"
Obviously there is no language barrier between them and the centaurs. After understanding Zhou Xu's shouting, the group The expressions of the centaurs changed obviously.
My eyes subconsciously focused on the hyena corpse, which had begun to rot, smell, and was beyond recognition.
The Hyena Queen was completely unrecognizable, and Zhou Xu and the others had a share of the credit.
After all, the original wound could be seen at a glance that it was bitten to death by some beast, which would not achieve the effect Zhou Xu wanted.
For this reason, Zhou Xu specially asked people to use a crescent halberd to process the body of the Hyena Queen. At the same time, he destroyed the wounds that were originally bitten by the fangs. Coupled with the decomposition of the body, it is now completely I can’t see how the Hyena Queen died.
Looking horizontally and vertically, one can only see that the hyena queen died miserably.
In this grassland area, the centaur clan and the hyena clan can be said to be mortal enemies.
On weekdays, battles frequently broke out between the two sides around various food resources, during which many members of both sides suffered casualties, which also caused the hatred between the two sides to accumulate.
The centaurs never expected that one day, the body of the hyena queen would be thrown in front of them by a group of humans.
The centaur is not stupid either. The other party said that this was the sincerity of the conversation, but the body of the hyena queen represents more of the other party's strength!
"Chief, is this really the body of the Hyena Queen?"
One of the centaurs asked their leader in a low voice.
"It should be true."
Hearing this question, the centaur leader moved his eyes away from the body of the hyena queen, and then fell on the human leader opposite, while following in a low voice the The tribesman said... "Although this corpse is rotten and smelly, the shape cannot be faked. It is definitely the Hyena Queen. And haven't you noticed that there has been no movement from the hyena people in the past few days?"
Hearing this, the surrounding centaurs suddenly realized.
"I wonder why those guys have been so honest in the past two days. It turns out that the Hyena Queen is dead! The Hyena people are probably busy choosing a new queen now and have no time to care about other things."< br>
Listening to the discussion of the tribesmen around him, the centaur leader answered directly and loudly...
"I am the leader, what do you want to talk to me about?"
After hearing this, Zhou Xu didn't respond. Don't let it go, just get straight to the point...
"Cooperation! I want to discuss cooperation with you Centaurs. We both have issues with the hyenas and have a common enemy, so I hope that we can join forces. While allowing us to develop better, we can work together to deal with the hyena clan! "What do you think?"
Zhou Xu's words were not too much beyond his expectations.
After all, if the other party wants to fight them, they don't need to do that.
Under this premise, the centaur leader had to admit that what the other party said was reasonable.
The body of the Hyena Queen and the arrow just now are enough to prove the opponent's strength and qualifications to join forces with them.
On this grassland, if the centaur clan faced the hyenas alone, the overall strength of both sides could only be said to be evenly matched. It is difficult to say who is better.
But once we join forces with the group of humans in front of us, the threat from the hyenas is no longer something to be afraid of.
Thinking of this, the centaur leader spoke up again...
"I have a question. Did you shoot that arrow just now?"
"I shot it. It's such a small thing. , there is no need for our leader to take action personally."
Zhou Chongshan stood up calmly, with a very calm expression, as if he had just done a small thing that was not a big deal.
This situation shocked the centaur leader.
In this era where the strong are respected, whether it is a tribe or an ethnic group, the strongest one is the leader. This concept can be said to be deeply ingrained in the indigenous people.
The centaur leader thought that even he might not be able to achieve that arrow just now.
In the end, the person who shot the arrow was not the leader on the opposite side. Wouldn’t the leader be stronger? !
Thinking of this, the centaur leader suddenly felt a wave of panic in his heart, and even the look in his eyes towards Zhou Xu changed.
In response, Zhou Xu just smiled slightly.
How could he not know what the other person was thinking? He did it on purpose.
The purpose is to exert psychological pressure on the other party invisibly.
Looking at the Centaur leader's obviously tense expression from a distance, Zhou Xu asked quite casually...
"Have you thought about it? Should we join forces?"
As for this, how can there be other answers?
"Okay! I promise to join forces!"
An update is here, thank you to book friends 'Named by' and 'Xiao Xi' for the reward!
