Chapter 164 Ouch~
Unexpected big business.
If you really want to talk about this, I am afraid that he underestimated the abilities of the centaur family.
He really didn't expect that the other party could be so efficient.
Previously, he advanced ten lassoes to Drogo in exchange for two wild horses. For the remaining eight wild horses, Zhou Xu still needed to pay Drogo forty arrows.
After receiving forty arrows, before leaving, Drogo, as an ally, habitually told Zhou Xu about the hyena man they had encountered on the grassland a few days ago.
"They didn't fight us. They split up and ran away as soon as they saw us. We brought the captured wild horses with us at that time, so it was not convenient for us to pursue them. How are you doing during this time?"
< br>After briefly explaining the situation on his side, Drogo asked the question to Zhou Xu.
In this regard, Zhou Xu also said casually...
"We have not found any traces of the hyena people recently. It is also possible that the other party deliberately avoided us. After all, although they are now elected The Hyena Queen is in trouble, but the internal situation is not good, so she probably doesn’t dare to conflict with us.”
Having said this, Zhou Xu changed the topic slightly...
“But the more this happens, the less we can let them live in peace!”
Zhou Xu’s words can be said to be It completely spoke to Drogo's heart, and he greatly agreed.
"Yes, we must not give them a chance to recover!"
After a group loses its population, there are basically two ways to recover or expand, either to annex other groups, Or have a baby.
As for the former, according to Drogo, there are no other hyena groups in this grassland area.
In other words, the hyena family can only use the second method.
But Zhou Xu obviously did not know this piece of information about the fertility of the hyenas, and could only hope in Drogo.
And Drogo really knows a lot about it. After all, they are sworn enemies who have lived in the same area for many years.
The two sides have been fighting for a long time, and it is impossible not to know some information.
Between questions and answers, after quickly sorting out the information provided by Drogo, Zhou Xu probably had a good idea of this piece of information.
[In other words, after a hyena is pregnant, it takes about ten months to give birth to a child, and one child is basically one or two. This is similar to humans, but what is different from humans is that the hyena’s As long as children grow up to two to three years old, they can quickly develop fighting strength, which is very tricky. 】
This information is too important for Zhou Xu.
Because this can basically be said to be the cycle for the hyena clan to regain their strength. Considering the pregnancy time, it will take three years no matter how soon.
Before that, although it cannot be said that the hyena clan is no longer a threat, the other party's actions will definitely be much restrained.
Not to mention that at this moment, Zhou Xu and Drogo have begun to work together to continue to suppress the hyena clan.
After all, none of them want the hyena man to really recover. On this matter, they hit it off.
After a brief discussion, Zhou Xu asked someone to lead the ten newly traded wild horses back to the camp.
This situation made the soldiers who were training in the camp quickly become excited.
With only three horses in the camp, there were too many of them, and they couldn’t even take turns to practice riding, which also made the daily training ineffective.
Of course, leaving aside the training issue, there is another very direct reason: they are a bit addicted to riding horses.
Even if you are just riding on horseback, you will be happy just taking a walk on the grassland.
Unfortunately, there are only three horses in the camp, and the horses also need to rest, which gives everyone less time. Before they can enjoy it, they have to come down.
But now, their leader turned around and brought ten more wild horses back. When these ten wild horses are trained, everyone can allocate more riding time.
Thinking of this, the soldiers hurriedly jumped out to help.
After all, they are all people who can get on a horse and have mastered riding skills to a certain extent. They can still do the simple work of leading a horse well. Zhou Xu no longer needs to worry about the placement of these ten wild horses.
The passing of midsummer has made the climate much more comfortable. Sleeping in a tent does not make you feel hot and uncomfortable anymore.
It was a new day, and Zhou Xu was sleeping in a daze. In his sleep, he only felt that his face was wet, as if something warm was scratching back and forth on his face.
His mind is now so dizzy and messed up that he can't even open his eyes. He just wants to hold his head and continue sleeping.
But the other party wouldn't let him go, and kept scratching his face.
It didn’t matter that it made his face wet. The most important thing was that it felt like a rubber brush was brushing against his face. It was not comfortable at all.
Afterwards, Zhou Xu couldn't stand it any longer. He used a strong willpower to forcefully open his eyelids.
The next second, in the dim tent, the first thing that caught Zhou Xu's eyes was a pair of eyes that glowed green in the darkness, and they were very close in front of him!
This situation made Zhou Xu's hair suddenly run cold, and he suddenly woke up.
His body instinctively used his hands and feet to get up as quickly as possible. At the same time, he took out the self-defense dagger placed under the pillow, and made a posture ready to fight with the opponent at any time.
At the same time, because of Zhou Xu's movements, a 'plop' sound was heard, causing the figure originally lying on him to fall directly to the ground.
Then, a soft cry of ‘Ouch~’ penetrated Zhou Xu’s ears.
That voice was full of milk, and somehow, he could still hear a bit of grievance in it.
It also made Zhou Xu, who had just woken up, his mind gradually turn around.
"You, you can't be..."
Zhou Xu, who seemed to have thought of something, quickly reached out to touch the swaddling clothes he put in the tent, and immediately discovered that the cub swaddled in animal skin was already No trace.
Looking at the figure with green eyes in front of him later, how could Zhou Xu not know who it was?
"Is it you? Holy shit! Finally woke up?!"
The longer the cub slept, the more he felt that this cub was unusual.
In other words, it is not usually the drop of hard work that the cub accidentally ate.
It is still very quiet at night in this camp. Even if you say something casually, your voice will be very clear.
The movement on Zhou Xu's side undoubtedly attracted the attention of the vigil members immediately, so they hurried over with torches.
"Chief? What happened?"
"You guys came just in time, give me some fire!"
"Yes!"
While speaking, the members of the night watch outside had already opened the curtain of the tent, and then lowered the torch to let the light in.
With the help of the firelight, at this moment, Zhou Xu could see the whole thing clearly.
Now this little guy, not including the tail, is already fifty centimeters in length. From birth to now, he has eaten nothing except that drop of hard work, and then slept several times.
All the lanugo hair on the body has faded away, replaced by long brown hair with some black patterns.
Under the illumination of the fire, the hair even had a slight golden light, and the tail was dragged behind like a big broom.
At the same time, the blue film on the eyes also faded away, revealing its true eye color, which was a pair of dark golden eyes. Even under the firelight, it still exuded a cold luster, invisibly, for It adds a lot of majesty.
"Ouch~"
If it didn't make a sound...
