Chapter 207 Pay attention to your image

In the split second between life and death, according to the normal reaction mode, it is definitely impossible to react. At that time, Zhou Xu could be said to have completely followed his instincts.

Don't forget that his upper limit of bravery has reached an excellent level of three stars. From the perspective of talent and potential, he is definitely not a hopeless loser.

But it has to be said that this result is still surprising, even Zhou Xu himself did not expect it.

It was as if the sword was slashed with divine help, accurately cutting the hyena man's throat. Even Zhou Xu himself didn't believe that there was no element of luck in this.

To be honest, in Zhou Xu's opinion, this strike of his was purely a matter of luck.

They never expected that this hyena man was so cunning that he could hold back his screams after being pierced through the body by the crescent halberd, and he collapsed to the ground pretending to be dead, trying to deceive them! A knife cut his throat! Hot blood splashed on his face.

The hyena man, whose chest was pierced by the crescent halberd, was already seriously injured. Zhou Xu's knife to the throat was undoubtedly a fatal blow to him.

At that moment, the hyena man's body lost its support and his huge body fell directly down, which shocked Zhou Xu.

After a near-death experience and the explosion, he now felt his hands and feet go weak. Looking at the fallen hyena man, he wanted to hide, but his legs and feet could not keep up.

Fortunately, the crescent halberd was still stuck in the hyena man's chest. As the hyena man's body fell forward, the handle of the crescent halberd inevitably supported the ground, causing the hyena man's body to fall directly to the other side, perfectly avoiding Zhou Xu who was still in the posture of drawing his sword and slashing.

This situation made Zhou Xu feel relieved. After taking a deep breath, he slowly stood up and sheathed his sword in a very cool manner.

There's no way, his subordinates are still here, and as a leader, he has to pay attention to his image.

At this moment, let alone the several cavalrymen who followed behind, even the extremely powerful Zhou Chongshan looked at him with a look of amazement.

[How come I didn't think of it before? You are worthy of being the leader!]

However, after coming to his senses, Zhou Chongshan hurried forward to apologize.

Without further ado, he knelt down directly.

"Please punish me, leader!"

On the one hand, he didn't expect that the hyena man was pretending to be dead. On the other hand, he actually wanted to kill him after seeing the hyena man "resurrecting from the dead".

But his crescent halberd was now stuck in the hyena man's body, and his wrist was twisted in the previous battle, causing him to be a beat slower and fail to successfully kill him.

There is no need to say more about what happens next.

"Well, this hyena man is cunning. Even I was fooled by him."

While speaking, Zhou Xu signaled Zhou Chongshan to stand up.

Zhou Chongshan has never been a talkative person, but he has a stubborn temper.

In Zhou Chongshan's opinion, Zhou Xu took the initiative to step forward to finish off the hyena man, which clearly showed that he realized that the hyena man might be pretending to be dead, but he neglected it, or he did not consider this issue at all.

From this point of view, he really cannot escape blame!

Zhou Chongshan was the subordinate who had been with him the longest, so it was impossible for Zhou Xu to be unaware of his stubborn temper.

Looking at Zhou Chongshan who was getting into a dead end again, Zhou Xu sighed.

"Then let's do this. I'll deduct one month's salary so that I can learn my lesson!"

"yes!"

"Take this hyena man's body and return to the village!"

While Zhou Xu was speaking, a cavalryman who was accompanying him had already brought his mount back.

After taking the reins, Zhou Xu jumped on the horse without saying a word.

While they were returning to the village, on the other side, Ye Jinghong had also gathered the cavalry team and returned.

As mentioned before, in their eyes, all hyenas look alike, and when all the hyenas are fleeing in all directions, it is difficult for them to know who is the hyena queen.

However, according to Ye Jinghong's personality, since he has set out, there is no reason for him to return empty-handed.

Find the two hyenas and win by overwhelming them with force! He directly brought back two hyena corpses to Zhou Xu.

In this process, Zhou Xu's skeleton soldiers also contributed a lot.

Even though he knew he couldn't catch up, Zhou Xu still didn't cancel the mantra. Why? To intimidate the hyenas who were trying to escape!

This is to tell those hyena people that as long as you dare to turn around and fight, my skeleton soldiers will immediately surround you!

It was this deterrence that made the hyenas only want to escape and had little desire to fight, which greatly reduced the difficulty of the battle.

"Jinghong, Li Ce, take care of the post-war work and report back to me."

After returning to the village, Zhou Xu, who had now been released from the true words, had an expression of fatigue that could not be concealed between his brows. He undoubtedly needed a good rest.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Don't worry, Chief. Leave the rest to me and Li Ce!"

After Ye Jinghong patted his chest and agreed to take the job, Zhou Xu nodded and went back to the room to rest.

He didn't fall into a deep sleep this time.

From midnight till now, he had used the mantra intensively twice, and although it had made him tired, he had not been completely exhausted.

There is no doubt that with the continuous use of mantras, his upper limit will continue to increase.

Dinner was delivered directly to his residence. While eating, Ye Jinghong told Zhou Xu about the deal he had made with Zhuo Ge during the day.

"I acted on my own, please punish me, leader!"

From Ye Jinghong's perspective, compared to food, the saber-toothed tiger was undoubtedly a greater threat to them.

Not to mention that according to the cooperation content he proposed, they were only giving the Centaurs a portion of food in advance. In return, after hunting the saber-toothed tiger, the saber-toothed tiger's body would belong to them.

The saber-toothed tiger was as big as a car. Even if it was starving to the point of skin and bones, it still had to produce meat.

From this point of view, they didn't actually lose much.

After helping Ye Jinghong up, Zhou Xu patted him on the shoulder.

"Since I have appointed you as the village chief of Grassland Village, you have sufficient power to make decisions. You did the right thing this time. Compared to that little bit of food, getting rid of the threat of the saber-toothed tiger is the top priority for our village."

When talking about this matter, Zhou Xu's expression seemed a little worried.

"The saber-toothed tiger benefited from us before. If we run out of food, I'm afraid it will come again."

Having said this, Zhou Xu paused.

"How about this, Jinghong? You set out early tomorrow morning and talk to Drogo. Suggest that the Centaurs rest in our village first. This will make it easier for us to move together during the day, and we can also ambush any saber-toothed tigers that might attack us at night."
