Chapter 213 Rare Skin
After scratching Chitose's chin and soothing Chitose's emotions, Zhou Xu's eyes fell on the three little guys again.
Just like what he said, these little wolf cubs are still weak in their legs and feet at the moment, and they seem to be trembling when they move.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m too young and my legs and feet haven’t fully developed yet, or because the temperature is too low and I’m frozen.
Or it may be malnutrition.
When he held the little wolf cubs in his hand just now, he had clearly felt that these little wolf cubs were basically in a state of being starved to the skin and bones.
Think about it. In this season, even the adult wolves in the wolf pack may not have enough to eat. These small ones are not even considered to be fighting power. It is strange that they can eat enough.
With an idea of comparison, Zhou Xu's eyes swept over the three wolf cubs of different colors.
During this period, he soon discovered that the gray-white and brown-haired wolf cubs all had yellow eyes. Only the little white wolf had a very pure ice blue eye. .
In the world before he traveled, white wolves themselves were not rare. There were many white wolves among Arctic wolves.
But the situation of this little white wolf is different, because it is obviously a prairie wolf.
Normally speaking, where does the white wolf come from among the prairie wolves?
From Zhou Xu's point of view, using science to explain, this little white wolf should have an albino gene, and then some atavism phenomena occurred.
To a certain extent, it can be regarded as a ‘rare skin’.
Of course, Zhou Xu is not particularly concerned about the rarity of this skin. In this era, the most important thing is combat effectiveness.
But judging from their previous battles with the wolves, there was no need to have high expectations.
In terms of combat power, it should be at the level of an ordinary wolf.
The reason why Ye Jinghong brought this litter of wolf cubs back to him was simple.
Because since Zhou Xu became the leader, he has raised rabbits, chickens, cows and horses. At the same time, he has picked up the cubs from the belly of the beast and raised them himself.
So Ye Jinghong was wondering if their leader would also be interested in this little wolf cub, so he came up with this matter.
Don't tell me, he really got it right!
Zhou Xu is indeed interested in this little wolf cub, but his interest is not in combat effectiveness.
[The ancestors of dogs are wolves, which is the result of long-term domestication by humans. These six wolf cubs are still small now. If they are domesticated from an early age, can they also have some effects? 】
【Then let them breed offspring within the tribe. If they continue to be trained from generation to generation, they will be domesticated into dogs sooner or later. 】
Compared with wild and untamable wolves, dogs still have many uses in human society, and various working dogs can be cultivated in due course.
After accidentally thinking too far, Zhou Xu quickly brought his thoughts back.
"Ask the breeders to build a nest for them with straw, and take care to avoid the wind and keep warm. Let them raise these six wolf cubs first, just like Chitose, and feed them with meat."
< br>Although food is not abundant in their village right now, how much can these six little wolf cubs eat in one meal? At this level, he can still afford it.
"Yes."
With a response, the soldier retreated with the six wolf cubs.
The sky was getting dark, and among the falling snowflakes, Zhuo Ge and Ye Jinghong came back.
Needless to say, they found nothing else except the litter of wolf cubs in the past half day.
This made Zhou Xu really feel a little melancholy.
Originally, he thought that with Drogo and the others here, they would be able to easily find the saber-tooth tiger soon and deal with it.
Now it seems that he thought too beautifully.
On the other hand, Drogo's entire state was much calmer.
"Drogo, you seem to have been mentally prepared?"
"That's right." Drogo admitted generously.
“Compared with ordinary beasts, these extraordinary creatures have stronger strength and are often smarter. Take the footprints as an example, ordinary beasts walking in the snow, They must leave footprints, but these extraordinary creatures know how to hide their footprints..."
"Wait a minute, did you just say extraordinary creatures?"
At this moment, Drogo was describing the cleverness of extraordinary creatures to Zhou Xu, but Zhou Xu's focus was obviously not on this matter. superior.
Faced with Zhou Xu's question, Drogo paused for a moment, not understanding what Zhou Xu meant, and finally could only nod.
“Yes, I said it.”
“Can you tell me what this extraordinary creature is?”
"..."
Zhou Xu's request made Drogo express a subtle expression, as if to say, 'You actually don't even know what extraordinary creatures are? ’
But then I thought about it, they didn’t seem to have much communication with other tribes before, and they really didn’t know what the other tribe was like.
I wanted to explain, but when I opened my mouth, I found that I didn't know what to say.
The existence of extraordinary creatures is more like common sense to them. How do you ask him to explain this kind of thing?
In the end, I could only hold back one sentence.
"In short, extraordinary creatures are existences that are obviously different from ordinary beasts. They are stronger and smarter."
"..."
Now , that subtle expression fell on Zhou Xu's face, as if asking him, 'That's it? Gone? ’
In response to this situation, Drogo held it in for a long time and then said another sentence.
"There are also corpses of extraordinary creatures, which are more valuable. Take the saber-toothed tiger we are looking for now. Its two sharp teeth can definitely be made into powerful weapons. At the same time, the most important thing is definitely the spirit in its heart. Blood'."
"! "
At this moment, Zhou Xu finally heard what he wanted to hear.
"Essence and blood?"
"Yes."
Drogo nodded.
“Essence and blood will condense in the heart of extraordinary creatures. According to the saying handed down from our clan, that essence and blood is condensed by the extraordinary power of extraordinary creatures. Through the beating of the heart, extraordinary creatures will contain the essence and blood. The power in the essence and blood is transported to all parts of the body."
At this moment, Zhou Xu understood a little bit.
[To put it simply, the heart of the extraordinary creature is equivalent to an engine, and the blood essence is the fuel. 】
“How to use the blood essence?”
"Eat it directly."
"..."
"After eating the essence and blood, you will feel miserable. It is the power in the essence and blood that is tempering your body. After it passes, the physical strength will become higher."
At this point, Drogo paused.
“In addition, there is another saying that after eating blood essence, you may be able to obtain some of the abilities of that extraordinary creature, but I don’t know whether this is true or not.”< br>
"So is it true that eating blood essence can temper the body and increase body strength?"
"Of course it is true, I have eaten it once."
"... ”
