Chapter 220: It’s like a world away
The last thing to do is to retain him. Although Zhou Xu really hoped that Zhuogo and the others could stay and work as his thugs, Zhuogo made it clear that he had already decided to leave. At this time, If you insist on staying, you will not only lose your own face, but it will also easily destroy the friendship that they have already established.
After leaving the village, Zhou Xu rode a horse to see them off for almost one or two kilometers.
"Let's stop here."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu reached out and took off the quiver hanging on the side of the saddle, and handed it to Drogo.
"Please accept the parting gift."
Looking at the tube of arrows handed over by Zhou Xu, Drogo couldn't help but show a trace of astonishment on his face.
Obviously, this was not included in the deal they agreed on before, which made Drogo subconsciously want to refuse, but after looking at Zhou Xu's sincere eyes, it was already done. The words on his lips were swallowed back by him.
"Thank you."
Taking the arrow handed over by Zhou Xu, from this moment on, the friendship between them became more than the pure transaction at the beginning. So kind of sentimental.
Watching them all the way, Zhou Xu was waiting to go back after Drogo and the others completely disappeared from his sight.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the light snow that was constantly floating in the sky stopped at some point. A ray of golden sunshine fell through the gap in the clouds and fell on Zhou Xu’s body. Reflecting on the white snow, it was so dazzling...
At this moment, Zhou Xu couldn't help but look up at the sky, as if he was in another world.
After a chuckle, he pulled the reins in his hand.
“Let’s go, go back!”
It was finally a sunny day, and the village was bathed in sunshine that had not been seen for a long time. Everyone felt like they had come to life, making the whole village feel a little more alive.
Zhou Xu, who returned to the village, first solved the breakfast problem for himself, and then came to the canteen to confirm the situation.
In order to cook in the morning, the surrounding ruins were simply dealt with in the kitchen to make room for their work.
The subsequent reconstruction work is still troublesome.
At this moment, looking at the ruins of the kitchen, Zhou Xu is still a little unbelievable.
Although the wall they used to build the house was not made of masonry, it was definitely strong. No one thought that the saber-toothed tiger could smash the wall with one claw, and even the frame of the house and the ground. The load-bearing columns inside were all broken.
With this power, he can basically shoot anyone to death. If he hadn't happened to be able to catch the centaur clan as thugs and let them fight on their own, I'm afraid they would have to pay a heavy price.
“Good guy, we have to call the construction team to dig out the foundation and re-build it.”
Before winter, in order to survive the winter safely, he led the construction team to I worked very hard to build the house, thinking that with the house sheltered from the wind and snow, there would be no big problems this winter.
As a result, half of the houses in Prairie Village collapsed before the winter was over.
If we continue at this pace, after one winter, everything will collapse to him?
At this moment, Zhou Xu felt really melancholy.
But when he thought that the body of the saber-toothed tiger was buried in the snowdrift nearby, waiting to be dissected, he felt a little better.
Hurry up and call people up, ready to run over and start tossing.
He has also been looking forward to the corpse of this extraordinary creature for a long time, but he was too tired last night, so he waited until now.
As a result, as soon as I got there, I found the little thing Chitose sitting on the snowdrift next to him, licking his paws. During this period, his eyes occasionally glanced at the snowdrift where the body of the saber-toothed tiger was buried.
It can be said that Zhou Xu saw this scene clearly.
This couldn't help but remind him of the time when they dissected the corpse of the Wolf King. At that time, the little thing Chitose had already curled up in bed and lay down. It was in sharp contrast to the situation in front of him. As early as that time, Zhou Xu suspected that this little thing knew from the beginning that there was nothing good in the Wolf King, so he was too lazy to move.
But now, Chitose has already arrived before others have arrived, which makes him even more convinced that there is nine out of ten blood essences in the body of the saber-toothed tiger. .
The reason why he thought this was because he had taken the opportunity to have a good chat with Drogo about the topic of 'extraordinary creatures' before.
One of the questions he asked was, 'Does every 'extraordinary creature' have blood essence? ’
Drogo’s answer is not necessarily.
Because there is still a stage where the target has broken away from the level of ordinary beasts, but has not yet condensed its blood essence and become an extraordinary creature.
If this kind of special creature continues to grow, there is a chance that it will become an extraordinary creature, but it is also possible that it will remain at this level for a lifetime.
When Zhou Xu heard these words, he immediately thought of the spider monster he had hunted.
In fact, he was thinking about this issue as early as when he discovered the first drop of blood.
However, the spider monster had basically entered their stomachs at that time, and its intelligence and strength were relatively limited. During the dissection, no blood or essence was seen.
It should be what Drogo said, the special creature that happened to be stuck in the middle.
“You little thing, what bad idea are you planning?”
While signaling his men to dig out the saber-toothed tiger's body, Zhou Xu walked up to Chitose and rubbed its head.
“Ouch~”
Chitose took advantage of the situation and rubbed it into the palm of his hand.
Looking at the coquettish Chitose, Zhou Xu fell into deep thought.
[Chitose, this guy, has clearly set his sights on the saber-toothed tiger's blood essence. Do you want to give it this blood essence? 】
Zhou Xu already roughly knew the value of blood essence. If Zhou Chongshan could take it, he might be able to obtain a three-star warrior.
But if you think about it from another angle, giving it to Chitose might not be an option.
Chitose's mother is an extraordinary creature. As the offspring of an extraordinary creature, Chitose was destined to start at a higher starting point than ordinary beasts from the moment she was born.
Not to mention that it swallowed the essence and blood of its mother as soon as it was born, and now it has shown some extraordinary abilities.
If it swallows the essence and blood of the saber-toothed tiger, the grown Chitose will definitely become more powerful.
So the question before him now is who will this drop of blood be used to cultivate?
Is it Chitose or Zhou Chongshan?
While Zhou Xu was so entangled, his men had already dug out the saber-toothed tiger.
Before they started to dissect the body, they couldn't help but rub their eyes, then looked up at the sun in the sky, and then looked down at the body lying in the snowdrift. After several confirmations, They made a slightly high-pitched voice.
"Light, the body of this saber-toothed tiger is glowing!"
"..."
