Chapter 365 Thorough Verification
While Zhou Xu was sorting out his thoughts, Hilke and the others had basically finished their work.
During this period, the centaurs who received the security mission from Zhou Xu were certainly not idle at the moment. While patrolling and guarding, they discovered a pack of wolves following them like followers.
Drogo knows very well what these hungry wolves think.
Wolves are smart animals, they know how to stay in groups and weigh the pros and cons.
Under normal circumstances, wolves will not fight an uncertain battle unless they are hungry and impatient.
This is probably the case for this wolf pack.
The other party knows that they are not easy to mess with and are very dangerous, but they are too hungry and are really unwilling to let them go like this.
So I just followed him from a distance to see if I could find any opportunities.
In the past, according to Drogo's temperament, he would have rushed directly to give them a good look, and also collected a wave of leather and meat along the way.
Although wolf meat is not delicious, in this winter, life is difficult for everyone, so how can you have the energy to be picky?
But the situation is different now. Since he started hanging out with Zhou Xu, he has no worries about food and drink. Looking at these hungry wolves, he really has no idea of eating.
"It's so annoying."
Glancing at the hungry wolf in the distance, Drogo was a little upset.
The hungry wolf is just here to explore the way, the large army is still behind.
If the wolves finally decide to take action, the large forces on the opposite side will start to circle around and prepare to surround them.
Although wolves are not something to be afraid of for them now, if they are surrounded by wolves, it will be a troublesome thing. Drogo obviously has no intention of leaving the choice to the opponent.
"You, go and report the situation here to the leader."
He pointed at a tribesman and asked him to report.
After hearing the report, Zhou Xu looked slightly surprised. He did not expect that the wolves would be so persistent.
The distance from where we first met the wolves to here was already quite far, and we had to ride for quite a while on horseback. The wolves actually followed their tracks and came after them.
“After reaching this point, there is a high probability that we will take action.”
Zhou Xu turned to look at the followers beside him.
“Send the order and tell Li Ce and Zhuo Ge to strike first.”
“Yes!”
After giving this order, he no longer cared about the situation over there.
According to their current strength, wouldn’t it be easy to kill a pack of wolves?
After the order was issued, within a short time, there was movement outside.
The horses galloped and the hungry wolves howled. It all ended very quickly, and their return journey was not delayed. This could not even be called a battle, it could only be regarded as a hunt.
They are the hunters, and the wolves are the prey!
Bring all the corpses of the hungry wolves with you. After processing, they can be used as skeleton wolves. They are much more flexible and faster than other skeleton units, which can greatly enrich the use of tactics.
On the way back to Prairie Village, Hilke rode his horse closer after hesitating.
“Leader.”
“What’s the matter?”
Zhou Xu glanced at him and clearly saw that something was wrong with him.
Seeing this, Hilke didn't show any pretense and asked him straight to the point...
"Chief, I want to know if there is a suitable burial place near the village, or how you dispose of the corpses after the death of your clan members. "
Obviously, Hilke is thinking about 'how to deal with the bodies of the tribesmen? ’ This question worries me.
He originally wanted to transport the corpses of his clan members to the grassland village and then find a place to bury them.
But after witnessing the beasts on the grassland digging up the soil and eating the corpses of the tribesmen, he was undoubtedly shaken, and it also made him undecided. Faced with this question, Zhou Xu gave a very straightforward answer.
"We usually choose cremation here."
"Cremation?"
"Just burn the body."
Get this answer Silk was visibly taken aback.
Zhou Xu, on the other hand, was explaining to him unhurriedly.
“You have also seen that if a corpse is buried in the ground, it will be dug up and eaten by wild beasts.”
“Even if the problem of wild beasts being eaten is avoided, the corpse will be decomposed during the process. , there is also the risk of disease and land contamination.”
“Generally speaking, cremation is the safest and most reasonable way to deal with it.”
The next step is. Silk said nothing, as if he was still struggling with the matter of cremation.
It wasn't until we were almost at the village that we made a decision.
"Chief, I have thought about it. I plan to cremate it. I hope you, chief, can help us make arrangements."
"Okay, after returning to the village, I will ask Ye Jinghong to give it to you. Arrangements.”
“Thank you, chief.”
The journey back to the village was quite safe.
After returning to Prairie Village, Zhou Xu directly asked Ye Jinghong to help Hilke and the others with the cremation matters, while he dove into the office.
While his mind was still active at the moment, he planned to quickly start follow-up research.
Now, it is easy for him to enter a meditative state, and he can easily find the new mantra sample in his sea of consciousness.
Compared with the 'Basic Weapon Blessing', this light group is much larger.
Under Zhou Xu's in-depth perception, the information about the light group quickly appeared in his mind.
The name of this light group is very straightforward, it is called 'Prairie Elf'.
And this also completely confirmed Zhou Xu’s previous speculations!
Zhou Xu has always felt strange before. The prairie elves obviously do not have mantras on their bodies, so why can they still use methods similar to mantras? It's almost like you were born with it.
At first, Zhou Xu thought that the prairie elves were extraterritorial races from other worlds. The systems of other worlds might be different from the world he lived in, so they could not be generalized.
But later, he discovered the sample of the mantra combination on the silver steel sword, which made Zhou Xu clear up a lot of clues.
He discovered that the elves possess a method similar to 'endowment'.
This made Zhou Xu boldly guess that the extraordinary means that the prairie elves seemed to be born with were the mantras they were given?
But according to his understanding, no one in the village of prairie elves has the ability to give the mantra to others.
After all, if there really was a prairie elf with such powerful mantra power, the elf villages would not have been destroyed when the lizardman army invaded.
This matter of the prairie elves obviously cannot be considered using conventional thinking.
After seeing the previous mantra group, Zhou Xu felt that his thinking could become more out-of-the-box.
For example, there is such a program that will be triggered whenever an elf is born, and by default the corresponding 'mantra' will be blessed on the newborn elf.
Does this make things much smoother?
As for who did this?
Is he the god of the elves?
