Chapter 155 Another Encounter
Zhou Xu rested for another night in the grassland camp. Although his mantra power has not yet fully recovered, at this time, the fatigue from before can no longer be seen from his body.
The matter of domesticating bison, after teaching members of the Ministry of Agriculture how to do it, actually did not require him to do it himself.
He had participated in the entire process and operated it himself, purely because he was exhausted during those two days and could not do anything else. Where is this person paralyzed but not paralyzed? Might as well consume the three bison along the way.
But catching bison is different.
Although he can use the zip line anytime and anywhere, the key lies in the other steps...
For example, scaring away the buffalo herd.
Unlike those particularly timid and weak herbivores, it doesn’t mean that the bison will scatter and flee for their lives as soon as you jump outside.
If you jump, you will probably lose your life.
For another example, after they throw the zip line and bring down the bison, they still need to consume the bison's strength. When the bison has no strength, they can put a noose on them and then slowly lead them back to the camp.
If Zhou Xu were here, he could directly use skeleton soldiers to scare away the buffalo herd and then consume them. This method would allow them to completely avoid casualties.
On the other hand, if Zhou Xu is not here, then the difficulty and risk of this matter will be at least ten times higher!
This is no exaggeration at all. Who dares to get close to a bison that is struggling crazily?
Just a kick or a bump will make you paralyzed!
This is also the main reason why Zhou Xu must go with him.
After breakfast, the prepared group set off quickly. Although the bison herd could move, at this time, they still moved to the place where the bison herd was discovered.
If the bison herd is not there, then they will have to search nearby. There is nothing they can do.
On the way, they encountered many scattered beasts on the grassland.
Some met them from a distance, while others hid in the nearby grass and did not show up throughout the process, but there was no armed conflict throughout the process.
This was different from what Zhou Xu expected at first, but then he thought about it and he understood.
In fact, wild beasts are inherently bully and fearful of the strong. Unless they are extremely hungry and have no other choice at all, otherwise they will definitely prefer to hunt soft persimmons that are easier to deal with.
For example, the hare that lives near the hay meadow, and the wild antelope that also lives in this area.
Compared with Zhou Xu and others who look quite large in scale and formation at first glance, the former is undoubtedly a safer target.
This is also the biggest reason why Zhou Xu and the others had no escapes along the way.
But they cannot relax and be careless.
Zhou Xu believed that once they slackened and exposed their flaws, these beasts that were eyeing them would definitely be killed as soon as possible.
Before arriving at the area where the bison were originally discovered, they took a full rest. After all, once the capture operation started, it would be impossible for them to have a good rest.
"Let's talk about the plan first. It's the same as before. We give priority to capturing the target with the bison."
Just like before, the bison is easy to subdue. As long as the bison is subdued, the bison will Mother is naturally controlled by them to a certain extent.
On the contrary, if they had captured three adult bison and there were no young bison to restrain their parents, the way back would have been more difficult.
The people who came out with Zhou Xu this time were all veterans who had participated in the previous operation. They were basically familiar with the process. Needless to say, after driving for a while, they quickly arrived at the place where the bison was discovered. group place.
But unfortunately, the bison herd is not here.
Faced with this situation, Zhou Xu waved his hand and motioned for everyone to spread out and search along the river.
On such a hot day, the bison will definitely stay close to the water source to escape the heat and cool down. Facts proved that Zhou Xu's idea was right. They didn't go too far and they quickly successfully locked the target.
Judging from the size, it should be the same herd of bison they encountered before.
Everyone quickly gathered over and hid in the dark to observe.
Zhou Xu directly opened his eyes to see if there were any other young bison in the herd.
As a result, the little bison was not found, but Zhou Xu first noticed something strange in the grass opposite.
Before he could think about it, in the next second, their 'old friend' rushed out of the grass on the opposite side with a roar.
The bloody mouth opened wide, and with the culling action, the sharp teeth like sword blades penetrated the neck of an adult bison on the spot!
It was the saber-toothed tiger they encountered at night!
“Good guy!”
There was no time to look for it slowly. The sudden appearance of the saber-toothed tiger forced Zhou Xu and the others to take action in advance. If they kept going, the frightened cattle would be All gone.
If you can’t find the baby bison, then go directly to the adult bison.
At this moment, while Zhou Xu was throwing the flying rope, he did not forget to quickly activate the mantra...
[Skeleton Soldier Summons! 】
During this period, the zip lines they threw quickly brought down four adult bison.
In an emergency, this is somewhat of an operational error.
After all, according to Zhou Xu’s previous expectations, if they were adult bison, catching two or three at a time would be enough. Otherwise, it would be too laborious to bring them back, and it would also increase the probability of accidents.
Unexpectedly, they did not determine the target in advance, and accidentally knocked down four heads, disrupting the original plan.
But at this time, Zhou Xu had no time to dwell on this issue, and his attention was focused on the saber-toothed tiger opposite.
At this moment, although the saber-tooth tiger's big mouth was still biting the bison's neck, his eyes were also on them.
Just like they did not expect that the saber-toothed tiger would target the bison herd and attack the bison here, the saber-toothed tiger obviously did not expect that Zhou Xu and the others would appear here.
For a while, although both sides were still doing their own things, their eyes were always wary of each other. To a certain extent, a stalemate was formed.
The ones who broke this situation during this period were undoubtedly the skeleton soldiers that Zhou Xu used to summon the skeleton soldiers!
This area is not far from where they last captured bison.
In other words, the five skeletons they lost at that time, as well as the skeleton soldiers summoned at that time, were all nearby.
With this as a premise, they brought ten more skeletons this time, bringing the total number of skeleton soldiers to fifty.
The saber-toothed tiger itself has obtained food, and its vigilance is mainly because it is worried that Zhou Xu and the others will snatch its food.
Now as soon as the skeleton soldiers gathered together, the saber-toothed tiger saw that he had no fighting spirit at all, and he dragged the bison's body and wanted to leave.
In this regard, Zhou Xu naturally had no intention of stopping it.
At the moment, capturing and domesticating bison is the top priority of their tribe. As long as the saber-toothed tiger doesn't provoke him, he has no interest in conquering the beast now.
