Chapter 146 Journey

"What the hell?!!"

At that moment, Zhou Xu felt numb all over. He picked up the little guy lying on the ground, and regardless of its struggle, he used his fingers to pry open its mouth.

However, that drop of blood that looked like a ruby ​​had completely disappeared.

This made a vein pop up on Zhou Xu's forehead.

He had a hunch that the reason why the hyena people were unwilling to leave was probably because of that drop of "blood in their hearts".

But he never expected that this drop of blood would be swallowed by this "filial son".

If I were to cut it open right now...

Just as Zhou Xu was thinking this, the baby animal he was holding in his hands suddenly tilted its head and fell asleep with its arms and legs spread out.

After confirming the other person's breathing, Zhou Xu's eyes were full of speechlessness.

[This little guy is so heartless, isn't he? That drop of blood is also its mother's "blood and effort", it just eats it. ]

At this moment, Zhou Xu's mind was full of thoughts, and the look in his eyes when he looked at this "filial son" was also uncertain.

[Forget it, forget it, it's already been eaten, it's all in its stomach, even if we cut it open we may not be able to get it out, so we might as well use it as an experiment to see what this drop of 'heart blood' actually does.]

The little guy, unaware that he had just had a close call with death, is still sleeping soundly.

Zhou Xu sighed, picked up the animal skin beside him, wrapped the little guy up again, put it aside, and then his eyes fell on the body of the beast again.

Not to mention mammals, even for humans who call themselves primates, if a child has never seen his or her biological mother from the moment he or she is born, then he or she will basically have no feelings for this biological mother.

After realizing this, Zhou Xu naturally had no thoughts about the young animal's "filial" behavior just now.

After this, they found nothing more from the beast's body.

After the dissection was completed, they were given a pile of skins and bones, as well as a large amount of meat.

In this kind of weather, meat is not easy to preserve. After directly allocating a sufficient amount for today's dinner, the tribe members hurriedly pickled the remaining meat with salt to prevent it from spoiling and being wasted.

At dinner time, thanks to the meat provided by the beast, each member received a generous portion of meat.

But to be honest, the meat doesn't taste that good, or it's difficult to make it delicious with current cooking utensils.

The meat fibers are too coarse, and there is too little fat, so it is all lean meat, and the taste is very rough and sticky.

[This meat is good for making jerky to grind your teeth. ]

Fortunately, the tribal members were not picky. After a tiring day, they wolfed down their meal and sat in front of the fire. While enjoying the night breeze, Zhou Xu arranged tomorrow's affairs with Ye Jinghong and Li Ce.

During this time, Zhou Xu's eyes occasionally swept over the baby animal that was sleeping soundly in the cradle nearby.

This little guy has been sleeping for nearly four hours since he took the 'heart blood', and he shows no signs of waking up.

Although judging from the time, it doesn't seem to have slept for long.

But the problem is that it basically sleeps the entire day.

Encountering this situation, Zhou Xu had no experience at all, so he simply let nature take its course and let the little guy continue to sleep. What would happen next depended entirely on the little guy's own luck.

After a night's rest, Zhou Xu woke up on time the next morning at the reminder of his biological clock.

Even though he had used the mantra intensively in yesterday's battle, he was not as exhausted today as before.

Zhou Xu guessed that after experiencing so many battles, the power of his mantra became stronger, and he was no longer exhausted after a single battle like before.

There is no doubt that his strength is gradually getting stronger, and this feeling makes Zhou Xu more motivated.

As for the little guy, it was still sleeping, and he didn't know whether it woke up in the middle of the night.

[It can really sleep, it can sleep, but doesn't it feel hungry? It has been sleeping for so long? Or is it related to that drop of blood? ]

Thoughts flashed through his mind, but Zhou Xu did not dwell on it too much and quickly put the question behind him.

After breakfast, the grassland camp quickly became busy, and the post-war work was far from over.

Let's take the traps outside for example. As important defense facilities in the grassland camp, the pit traps that were stepped on must be redeployed? This workload is quite large.

At the same time, Ye Jinghong also took quick action early in the morning after receiving Zhou Xu's order.

As for Zhou Xu himself, he is currently in charge of staying in the camp and recuperating.

"Chief, should we leave these hyena bodies alone or dispose of them?"

In that battle, because of the existence of the Crescent Halberd, many hyena people on the opposing side were undoubtedly injured, but only four were killed.

Two of them died in their pit trap, while the other two were killed by Zhou Chongshan and Li Ce.

From this point, it can also be seen that there is still a big gap in actual combat power between them and the hyena people.

However, this gap will begin to narrow rapidly from today, because he will have four more hyena skeletons under his command, not counting the hyena queen.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Apart from the hyena queen who was not dealt with for the time being, the bodies of the other four hyena men should have been disposed of yesterday.

But due to the urgent need to deal with the beast's carcass, it was postponed to today.

Originally, there was no need to ask about such things, but because their leader ordered yesterday to keep the body of the hyena queen first and did not say what to do with the other four hyena bodies, they were a little unsure.

That's why I came here specifically to confirm it.

"Get rid of it."

"yes!"

After receiving the order, the relevant staff in the camp quickly got busy.

It was almost noon when Ye Jinghong rushed back to the camp and reported to Zhou Xu.

After listening to this, Zhou Xu nodded.

"Rest early today and get enough rest. We will set off tomorrow morning."

"yes!"

After a night, Zhou Xu woke up from his sleep again. After a day and a night of sufficient rest yesterday, his mental state became better than before.

He could now feel that he had recovered at least 60% of his strength, enough to handle a small-scale battle.

After breakfast, eleven soldiers, led by Zhou Chongshan, were ready to go.

Although their injuries from the battle the day before yesterday were not serious, there were many shocking claw marks on their bodies. Each of them had skin torn and flesh exposed. It was definitely impossible for them to recover in this short period of time.

But after hearing about the mission, except for the two who were still lying down with broken bones, the remaining eleven soldiers stood up without saying a word.

Looking at their determined expressions, Zhou Xu nodded with satisfaction.

"Set off!"

With Zhou Xu's order, this action, which will definitely affect the future development of the tribe and even the situation in some grassland areas, officially began!

With determination, the group set out on their journey accompanied by the rising sun!
