Chapter 491 New Thoughts
After eating the food and reading the report sent by Li Ce, I briefly asked about the situation in the camp. As time passed, I was already in poor condition. Zhou Xu looked sleepy again.
He has no intention of fighting against this feeling of sleepiness. He goes straight to sleep when he feels sleepy. His first priority now is to have a good rest so that the previously consumed mantra power can be better restored. .
When I opened my eyes again, it was already seven o'clock the next morning.
Not to mention the power of the mantra that was consumed, the full rest of the day and night at least allowed Zhou Xu's mental state to recover a lot.
After breakfast, Zhou Xu arrived outside the camp.
At this moment, the corpses of the four Ankylosaurus were piled there like four hills, and each corpse was filled with giant crossbow arrows.
From facing the giant armored dragon, not knowing where to start, to now completely hunting it down, Zhou Xu took the greatest credit.
If he hadn't relied on the method of 'beast soldier control' to directly cause the opponent's internal disintegration, considering the environment at that time, if the crossbow troops wanted to completely destroy it, the success rate could only be said to be 50-50.
Of course, earlier, the attrition war led by Li Ce allowed the crossbow troops to disintegrate the outer carapace of the four-headed armored dragon in advance, which also played a crucial role.
At this moment, the logistics force was recovering their giant crossbow arrows from the armored dragon.
This is a fatal job. The size of the giant crossbow arrows and the design of the arrowheads mean that these giant crossbow arrows that are embedded in the body of the armored dragon are not easy to pull out.
As far as the current situation is concerned, they need to take a machete and cut the armored dragon's skin and flesh like sawing wood to reduce the wrapping of the arrowhead by the armored dragon's flesh as much as possible, and then use it to cut the arrowheads. A strong enough hemp rope was tied to the end of the giant crossbow arrow, and a team of people were arranged below to pull out the giant crossbow arrow in a tug-of-war manner.
This job sounds simple, but it is actually very labor-intensive. Whether it is cutting the skin and flesh of ankylosaurus or pulling out giant crossbow arrows, they are so tired that they have backaches, backaches, and hand cramps, but this job has to be done. Do.
After all, every giant crossbow arrow is an important resource for them. It goes without saying that the intact giant crossbow arrows can continue to be put into use.
Even those arrowheads that have been extruded and deformed must be recycled as much as possible, because the iron as the raw material itself is valuable and can be recast.
The Tieshan mine discovered so far does not know how much iron ore it can produce. Limited resources must be used sparingly.
"Has this big guy's heart been confirmed?"
Walking to the side, Zhou Xu asked the person in charge of the logistics team.
Obviously, Zhou Xu wanted to confirm whether this armored dragon was an extraordinary creature. If it was, the opponent's heart should contain 'hard work'.
Faced with the question, the person in charge shook his head.
“As you can see, we are still in the stage of recovering the giant crossbow arrows, and have not yet begun to dissect this big guy. But judging from the current situation, if we want to dissect this big guy, I am afraid it is not possible. So easy.”
After speaking, the person in charge had a bitter smile on his face.
You know, they have already spent a lot of effort just to cut open the skin and muscle tissue of this big guy. If they were to dissect this big guy, the person in charge would I really can’t imagine how big the workload would be.
After understanding the situation, Zhou Xu didn’t say anything more.
In fact, he didn't have high expectations for this four-headed ankylosaurus. One of the irrefutable proofs is that Chitose is still sleeping in the tent, too calm.
That kid Chitose has always been very eager for the "hard work" of extraordinary creatures. Although he will not directly rob it, if these four-headed armored dragons really have "hard work", That kid Chitose is most likely already waiting here for 'dinner'.
In this way, the boy is not here now and is still sleeping, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.
However, this also proves that just because you are big and destructive, you must be an extraordinary creature.
According to this logic, weren't the giant whales in his original world that could knock over ships before the time travel also extraordinary creatures?
Or maybe the large dinosaurs of the Jurassic era were all extraordinary creatures?
So this idea is inherently problematic.
Looking at destructive power is indeed a simple and crude measure, but it is too one-sided.
This incident gave Zhou Xu new thoughts on the special category of ‘extraordinary creatures’.
[Lingzhi, Lingzhi! The key characteristic of extraordinary creatures should be their intelligence far exceeding that of ordinary creatures! 】
Previously, Zhou Xu also fell into the misunderstanding of combat power, simply and crudely equating powerful special beasts with extraordinary creatures.
But after seeing the Armored Dragon and thinking about it just now, he came up with new standards. Compared with simple and crude judgments of combat power, Zhou Xu felt that the characteristics of extraordinary creatures were more important. It should be spiritual intelligence, or a smart mind.
To give an extreme example, it is like a bug with a highly developed brain, autonomous consciousness and independent thinking ability, and is smarter than humans.
It itself has no fighting power and is only about the size of a fingernail. Let alone a human being, any small creature such as a chicken, duck, or even a bird or a toad can easily take away its tiny life.
But can its existence still be classified as an ordinary bug?
There is no doubt that it is an extraordinary creature.
Even after it grows up, the impact it can have will most likely exceed those extraordinary creatures that can simply fight.
Following this line of thought, Zhou Xu could clearly discover that whether it was the big bone and the second bone during his lifetime, or the thousand-year-old, they all showed quite high intelligence.
Dagou did something like diverting trouble to the east during his lifetime, while Ergu had limited contact with him during his lifetime. Zhou Xu did not make any assumptions, but Chitose was raised by him.
Therefore, Zhou Xu was almost 100% sure that Chitose could understand what he said without any hindrance, understand his meaning, and even effectively execute some of the complex orders he issued.
On the other hand, the armored dragon on the opposite side can only understand some simple signals and follow the signals to perform some simple tasks.
No matter which angle you look at it, its intelligence is not very high. It is estimated that it is at the same level as cats and dogs at most.
In the case where Zhou Xu uses ‘spiritual intelligence’ as the core basis for judging whether the target is an extraordinary creature, there is no doubt that the armored dragon’s spiritual intelligence is unqualified.
As his thoughts flew, the new ideas in his mind had been completely sorted out by him.
