Chapter 153: Falling down if you don’t eat
This journey can be said to have been smooth sailing. Before dark the next day, the almost exhausted group of people finally successfully returned to the grassland camp.
Although they stopped briefly to rest and eat something, the quality of their rest was not good at all due to the presence of three bison.
After the trip, everyone, including Zhou Xu himself, was already tired and dizzy.
The patrol outside the camp discovered them in time. When Zhou Xu and the others saw the members of the patrol, it was like seeing a savior, and they quickly handed over the three bison to each other.
After returning to the camp, I didn't even have the energy to eat, so I fell asleep.
He was so tired that the biological clock failed to wake him up the next day. When Zhou Xu opened his eyes, the sun was almost setting, and he woke up from hunger... …
Needless to say, sumptuous food was immediately prepared for them at the camp.
After eating and drinking and having a good meal, although Zhou Xu still felt very tired, within a short period of time, he had no intention of going back to the tent to continue sleeping. Get up and walk towards the camp.
I saw that thick pillars had been erected in this area.
These pillars were all made from the main trunks of big trees after simple processing. Now almost half of them are buried in the ground. The three bison they had spent so much effort to bring back were tied up separately at this moment. On three pillars.
Needless to say, Zhou Xu ordered these three pillars before setting off.
No matter what animal they catch, they can usually use it.
This is indeed the case.
Even a buffalo with all its strength cannot pull the pillar half buried in the soil.
Because Zhou Xu fell asleep as soon as he came back, he didn't teach them how to train the three bison.
So throughout the whole day, the people at the grassland camp simply tied them there and left them alone.
“Have you fed them food?”
“No, leader, you didn’t tell us what they eat, and we don’t dare to feed them casually.”
Get a general understanding. Zhou Xu nodded.
In the area where the three bison were tied, there was no grass at all, only dirt and gravel, because the ground needed to be dug up to bury the pillars.
In other words, these three bison have basically been hungry for a day.
But Zhou Xu doesn’t care. What can he do if he is hungry all day? Even to a certain extent, according to his way of thinking, it is better to train a little if you are hungry.
At least that's how he used to raise dogs and cats. Only when the target is hungry enough can he establish a certain positive relationship with the target more smoothly through food.
“Go outside and collect some fodder. It doesn’t need to be too much, just fill a basket on your back.”
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, the tribe member hurriedly ran outside the camp to collect fodder with a basket on his back.
As for Zhou Xu, he was sitting on a wooden stake nearby, looking at the three bison tied not far away, while sorting out the thoughts in his mind.
According to his thinking, there are roughly two methods of domestication, one is to tame by force, and the other is to use 'love' to influence.
Taming by force is very simple, just defeat it and let the target know who is the boss.
Of course, this method sounds simple, but it is not easy to do at all, especially if your domesticated target is quite fierce in combat.
Zhou Xu didn’t think that any of them could defeat the other party with force and completely convince the other party without harming the life of the bison.
Although he has never known about cows, he has heard the term "cow temper", and he can feel from it that it is definitely not a good idea to tame this species with force.
So Zhou Xu’s choice is the second way, to use ‘love’ to influence the other person. The first step is to let the three bison know that not only will he not hurt them, but he will even give them food.
While Zhou Xu was thinking about this, the tribe member had already returned with a basket of fodder.
This workload is indeed not big. There are fodder everywhere outside the camp. It doesn’t take much time to load a basket.
“Divide this basket of fodder into three parts, one part more, the other two parts less, and put them in three baskets respectively.”
Under Zhou Xu’s command, prepare Work done quickly.
The existence of bison is still a relatively large threat to them.
Zhou Xu had no intention of letting his tribe members get close to the bison easily. What would happen if the bison suddenly attacked due to being too nervous and knocked their tribe members to paralysis.
【Skeleton soldier control! 】
After speaking the truth, Zhou Xu directly pulled up the three skeleton soldiers and asked them to pick up the baskets containing the fodder and walk slowly towards the three bison not far away.
During this process, the bison became visibly nervous and began to back away until the noose around their necks began to tighten.
During this period, Zhou Xu ignored the reactions of the three buffaloes. He had used the mantra so frequently that he now had very little mantra power left. After sleeping for a day, he did not recover much, but he did not have the energy to fight with the bison.
Calculating the distance accurately, Zhou Xu controlled the skeleton soldiers to put down the fodder at a specific distance.
He did not let the skeleton soldiers put the fodder directly in front of the three bison.
On the one hand, the distance is too close, which may make the bison more nervous and cause him some unnecessary trouble.
On the other hand, it is because of his small domestication method.
That is, if the bison wants to eat forage, it must move closer to him for a certain distance.
And now, he was sitting at a safe distance that was relatively close to the bison, but not threatened by the bison.
This step requires patience.
Zhou Xu, who was sitting on the wooden stake, was holding his chin and just waiting quietly.
Anyway, he is very tired right now, and he doesn’t have the energy to work if he is asked to do it. He might as well spend time with the bison here, which is also a very important business.
The three bison were undoubtedly hungry, but due to Zhou Xu's presence, they were wary and did not dare to get close to eat the fodder in the basket.
Regarding this, Zhou Xu was not anxious at all and just rested there.
During this process, he fully realized how stubborn that ‘cow temper’ really was.
He had been sitting there for at least an hour, but the three bison remained vigilant the whole time and did not get even half a step closer.
"Chief, dinner is ready, do you want some more?"
Almost an hour and a half ago, he just woke up and had a full meal.
However, at this time, it was getting dark, and he had no intention of continuing to follow the three bison.
“You can eat and don’t worry about me.”
As he said this, Zhou Xu stood up, then casually pulled up the three skeleton soldiers again, facing the three bison. In front of him, he took the fodder away.
If he doesn’t eat, he’s not the one who’s hungry anyway...
Here’s the update, and I’d like to thank the book friend ‘Emperor Bancheng Canxue’ for the reward!
