Chapter 962 New Discovery
Meditation cannot replace sleep.
Using meditation also requires some small state. Lack of sleep will cause the state to decline.
Knowing this, Zhou Xu had a simple dinner and went to bed early after the sky darkened.
This night, Zhou Xu slept very soundly.
The fact that this primitive tribe can survive here means that there are no strong forces nearby.
The black ferocious beast during the day should be the biggest threat in the area. Now that this threat has been solved by him, what else does he have to worry about?
Early the next morning, Zhou Xu's biological clock made him wake up on time. When he walked out of the tent, the elf knights, including Silk, were already doing morning exercises. The skeleton of the black beast beside them Put it there.
As early as yesterday, after completing the disembowelment and taking out the blood essence, they also disposed of the corpse of this ferocious beast.
Zhou Xu now has two ways to deal with the bones of this extraordinary creature.
One is to turn it into a skeleton beast soldier, which provides combat power on the battlefield as a unit.
The second is to give this skeleton to the lizard people. The craftsmen on the lizard people side can use the bones of this extraordinary creature to make a beast bone staff.
Facing these two options, Zhou Xu thought about it for a while.
In the end I chose the latter.
“When you send the captured and wounded back later, take this skeleton with you and send it to the rainforest, where it will be given to the lizardman craftsmen to make animal bone staffs.”
"Yes!"
From the perspective of Zhou Xu, the ruler, their Great Zhou Dynasty is no longer short of such a skeleton beast unit at this stage.
Not to mention the ferocious beast that turned into a skeleton beast, its combat power is completely inferior to what it was in life.
In addition, its body length is only four meters, and it is not a qualified giant unit. It is better to make it into an animal bone staff.
At least the beast bone staff is much more durable than the skeleton beast.
As long as the skeleton beast has fought a few tough battles, its bones will become more and more brittle due to damage in the battle, and its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
In the end it was reduced to broken bones and completely scrapped.
Looking at the animal bone staff, as long as it is properly maintained, it can almost be used as a semi-permanent piece of equipment and can be passed down from generation to generation.
From a long-term development perspective, isn’t this price-performance ratio higher than that of a skeleton beast whose combat power cannot reach an extraordinary level?
After briefly giving instructions on this matter, Zhou Xu himself also played Tai Chi for a while to stretch his muscles.
During this process, he was also thinking about things in his own mind.
He did not expect that things would go so smoothly, and now he has obtained the essence and blood of extraordinary creatures.
In this case, there is really no need for him to stay here any longer. The rest of the work can be handed over directly to the exploration team and completed slowly.
Of course, before leaving, he had to find Chitose and Xuanyu first.
Thinking of these two guys who had gone somewhere, Zhou Xu really had a headache at the moment.
"Silk, have you found any traces of Chitose and Xuanyu?"
"Not found yet."
Silk shook his head.
"Chitose and the others are extraordinary creatures. They should not encounter any great danger in this area. Your Majesty does not need to worry so much."
Facing Silk's comfort, Zhou Xu nodded, not intending to dwell on this matter any longer.
After breakfast, Zhou Xu continued to use meditation to restore the power of the mantra in their frontline camp. The task of subsequent exploration fell entirely on the exploration troops here, and basically he did not need to worry about it. Maintaining this state, half a day passed quietly. Just when Zhou Xu was wondering when Chitose and the others would come back, a black shadow passed by in the sky.
Then, the familiar weight on the top of his head made Zhou Xu very clearly aware that his traitor was back.
"You rebellious son, where have you been for such a long time?"
Hearing the question, Xuan Yu tilted his head, then flapped his wings and took the initiative to fly from Zhou Xu's head It flew down and landed on a shelf nearby, then pointed again and again in one direction with its wings.
Then it flapped its wings and flew up again, hovering over the camp.
“Are you asking me to follow you?”
Understanding Xuan Yu’s meaning, Zhou Xu didn’t hesitate at all. He immediately summoned Silke and the others, got on his horse and rode on. Rushed out of the camp.
Maintaining a certain speed, they covered a distance of about twenty or thirty kilometers. At the end of the field of vision, a camp directly broke into Zhou Xu's eyes.
Outside the camp, a group of tribe members wrapped in animal skins were holding weapons such as bone spears and stone axes, confronting a mighty-looking beast.
That beast is Chitose!
Looking at the roaring humans not far away, Chitose's eyes flashed with a trace of speechlessness.
Chitose, who was raised by Zhou Xu and lived in the human community since childhood, has no bad feelings towards humans.
Under this premise, Chitose, who is quite intelligent, also knows in his heart that these guys who are making noise in front of him will be their labor force in the future.
From this perspective, it has no plans to take action for the time being.
During this period, Zhou Xu, who was riding on horseback in the distance, had a wider field of vision and basically saw the situation here clearly.
【Did we discover the primitive tribe living here? 】
After confirming the situation, Zhou Xu felt a little disappointed.
For him now, the integration of primitive tribes is just a trivial matter. Why does he need to personally lead the team?
But now that he is here, let’s get things done quickly.
Just as Zhou Xu was thinking this, a dozen adult men rushed out from the camp opposite, each carrying a wooden barrel containing something unknown.
When he saw Chitose, he immediately threw the contents of the barrel towards Chitose.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu opened the 'Eye of Insight' instantly and saw clearly what was spilled in the bucket.
What was spilled was a slightly light yellow, but almost transparent liquid.
At the same time, Zhou Xu clearly saw that one of the men raised a torch and made a motion to throw it out.
Zhou Xu's expression changed instantly when he saw this.
“Stop him!!!”
Zhou Xu didn’t know who he was shouting to. He just hoped that someone would hear it and react immediately. , to stop the other party.
Almost at the same time that Zhou Xu made this sound, Xuan Yu, who was flying in the air, his eyes suddenly became sharp, his wings flapped, and he burst out at an astonishing speed.
Grab the torch before it hits the ground, flap your wings, and fly away with the torch, out of this area!
