Chapter 231 Entering the Village
Since we set off early, we were not pressed for time.
While passing by Black Moon Village and Salt Lake Village along the way, he also briefly inspected the situation in the two villages.
Compared with before winter, if there is much change, it can only be said that it is more dilapidated than before winter.
Because this winter has brought certain losses to each of their villages, several villages are currently busy with reconstruction projects while maintaining normal operations.
The damage to Black Moon Village and Salt Lake Village was relatively small, and it is expected that reconstruction will be completed in early spring.
As for Prairie Village, which was severely damaged, it is estimated that it will be busy until early summer.
Because they need construction teams to do a lot of reconstruction work, and the current construction team has relatively limited manpower, it is destined to be difficult to improve efficiency in this area.
This time we rushed to Huangshan Village. Except for Zhou Xu and Zhou Chongshan who were riding horses, all the other soldiers' horses were left at the Prairie Village and were temporarily given to the new soldiers.
No way, after experiencing that blizzard, they lost nearly half of the horses in the prairie village, and it was no longer possible for the soldiers to have one horse.
Under this premise, the battles in Huangshan Village are mainly inside the mountains, and there are no paved mountain roads here.
Zhou Xu and Zhou Chongshan rode over, but in the end they could only place their horses at the station at the foot of the mountain, and then hike up the mountain.
In the subsequent battles, the war horses were basically useless, and they had known this for a long time.
The reason why they still choose to come here on horseback is mainly just in case. If something happens over there in Prairie Village, they can rush back as quickly as possible.
There were no accidents along the way. The soldiers led by Zhou Xu successfully arrived at the post station at the foot of Huangshan Village.
Since the team transporting combat supplies set off early, they had already arrived earlier.
And Shi Lei had already asked people to move everything up. What was left at the foot of the mountain yet to be moved were the skeletons of the two extraordinary creatures.
For convenience of naming, Zhou Xu casually named the two skeletons 'Big Bone' and 'Second Bone' respectively.
The former is Chitose's biological mother, and the latter is the saber-toothed tiger.
Considering the size and weight of the two skeletons, as well as the steepness of the mountain road, Shi Lei and the others had no choice but to wait for their leader to come over and take care of it.
[Skeleton Beast Soldier Control! 】
Zhou Xu's mantra was activated, and the next second, with the will-o'-the-wisps igniting in the skull's eye sockets, Big Bone and Two Bones stood up from the ground unhurriedly.
[The speed of the skeleton beast soldiers is enhanced! 】
In order to improve efficiency and win the battle quickly, Zhou Xu directly turned over and climbed onto the back of the big bones to sit firmly. At the same time, he strengthened their speed with his backhand and immediately controlled them to rush towards the mountain. .
As a four-legged extraordinary creature during his lifetime, although his flexibility has dropped significantly after turning into a skeleton beast soldier, he still has an advantage over two-legged humans when climbing mountains.
After seeing their leader sitting on Big Bone's back and controlling the two skeleton beasts to start climbing the mountain, Zhou Chongshan and the others also started climbing with the members of the Barren Mountain Village who came to rescue them.
To be honest, they are now taking a route that is often taken by the villagers here. It has been vaguely trampled on a path. It is definitely less laborious than the route of Da Gu Er Gu.
But the reality is that they simply cannot catch up with Da Gu Er Gu.
Big Bones and Two Bones climbed up the mountain, basically ignoring the terrain and directly relying on their strength to force their claws into the mountain and hook them up. They just kept climbing towards the top of the mountain without fear of falling. fall.
On the other hand, even if there are villagers leading the way, they have to brace themselves and move carefully step by step. They dare not relax and be careless, otherwise they will fall down the mountain if they make a mistake.
At this speed, within a short time, he was swept away by Big Bone and Two Bones.
At the same time, in Huangshan Village... the news that the leader was coming today had already spread internally, and many villagers were talking privately.
The situation in Black Moon Village, Salt Lake Village and Prairie Village is different. Half of the population in Barren Mountain Village are prisoners taken in from the tribe they attacked from the opposite side.
For these people, they didn’t get along with Zhou Xu for a long time. Because it was too far away from the other three villages, Zhou Xu made arrangements for things here. I left and never came back again.
As time went by, their impressions of Zhou Xu, the leader, gradually became blurred.
Until the two giant figures appeared from the mountain forest, they jumped into the open space outside their village.
“Ah——”
A terrified scream broke the tranquility of the village.
"Monster! There is a monster!!"
Although Dagu and Ergu have been placed in the inn at the foot of the mountain for some time, the villagers on the Huangshan Village mainly live in the village on the other side of the mountain, leaving aside the personnel on duty and related staff. Not everyone will come to the inn here.
During this period, even though I heard from the relevant personnel that two huge skeleton monsters were transported from the inn, but listening to their descriptions lacking in vocabulary, how could I be as shocked as seeing them with my own eyes? !
Not to mention that these two skeleton monsters are still alive!
At this time, many villagers who had not reacted were frightened, and screams suddenly broke out.
At the same time, the guards outside the village also heard the noise and rushed over.
But the closer they got, the more they could feel the hugeness of the skeleton monster. The terrifying pressure almost swept over them, making their bodies stiff. For a moment, they didn't know what to do.
At this moment, a voice came from the monster.
"Where is Shi Lei? Where is he?"
While speaking, Zhou Xu stepped on Da Gu's body and stood up.
The winter sunshine fell on him, making him look like a god.
"This man seems to be the leader?"
It was at this time that someone finally recognized him.
At the same time, Shi Lei also heard the noise and hurried out.
Shi Lei, who had already seen Big Bone and Two Bones when they were first transported here, was still shocked.
The skeleton monster was indeed different when it moved and when it was lying still, but it was still able to control its emotions. He had already recognized Zhou Xu and quickly stepped forward to salute.
"Shi Lei, see the leader! There have been too many things going on in the village recently. It takes too much time to go back and forth. I can't go to the foot of the mountain to greet you. Please forgive me, the leader!"
"It doesn't matter."
In Zhou Xu While speaking, the power of the mantra was released, and Da Gu and Er Gu fell to the ground without any support. Zhou Xu jumped off Da Gu.
"Lead the way, I will go into the village to see how you have done with the village."
How dare Shi Lei dare to complain about this? He hurriedly led Zhou Xu into the village.
