Chapter 261: Unscientific! Unreasonable!

"Huh——"

He let out a long breath and glanced at Li Ce, who was sitting opposite him with his eyebrows twisted into a ball. Zhou Xu ignored him and went to the side to take a deep breath.

Judging from Shi Lei's previous experience, this seems to be a normal phenomenon.

You can think of the mantra as a string of information. A mantra of just a few words can contain just as much information.

This information is injected into the brain, and it takes a certain amount of time for the brain to receive it. During this process, it feels like a tangible substance is being forced into the brain, which doesn't feel good.

As for him, he should have benefited from some of his abilities as an 'evolutionary leader' and was able to escape danger and not suffer this sin.

At the same time, unlike the previous time when he gave Shi Lei the mantra ability of "Skeleton Soldier Control", this time, Zhou Xu felt that he still had some spare strength.

After all, he didn't think that this mantra would consume so much energy at that time, so he started testing it when his mantra power had recovered about 70% to 80%, which was not the true peak state.

Having learned his lesson before, he undoubtedly waited until he was fully recovered and mentally prepared before using the mantra again this time.

Even after the severe exhaustion before, his mantra power should have increased a little after recovery this time.

As it turned out, he was indeed a little more relaxed this time.

While Zhou Xu was adjusting himself, Li Ce's brain had apparently also completed digesting those mantra characters, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhou Xu directly signaled...

"Try using it and see how it works."

To be precise, Li Ce, who had already integrated the mantra for the second time, was not unfamiliar with the whole situation. After hearing Zhou Xu's words, he nodded and began to try to speak the mantra.

As someone who had used mantras before, he had some experience with these difficult and obscure mantras.

But even so, faced with the new mantra characters, after slowly pronouncing two sounds, Li Ce still couldn't avoid the embarrassment of having a tangled tongue and stuttering. Not to mention saying it fluently, he couldn't even finish it.

"I'm afraid I still need to practice for a while."

This situation was completely within Zhou Xu's expectations. Even Li Ce, the person involved, was not surprised at all. He was neither anxious nor impatient, and his mentality was very calm.

"Okay, practice more often and don't slack off."

After giving this instruction, Zhou Xu, whose mantra power had been greatly depleted, went back to his residence to rest early.

After taking a short nap, I got up to have dinner, and went back to sleep. When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.

Since Zhou Xu's mantra power was not seriously depleted yesterday, after such a good rest, his mental state has recovered quite well.

Of course, it will take a long time for the power of truth to recover, but it does not affect his daily work.

Because of Zhou Xu's instructions yesterday, after breakfast, Li Ce took the cavalry out to look for traces of bison and wild horses. Once found, they would be captured immediately.

At the same time, Zhou Xu himself maintained a slow pace, leisurely inspecting the daily work in Caoyuan Village.

"Jinghong, speaking of which, after I left, have you heard any news about Drogo and the others?"

Zhou Xu is still quite concerned about the Centaurs. If he can recruit them for his own use, they will definitely be a force that cannot be underestimated.

But according to the current situation, if you want to conquer the Centaurs, using force is obviously the worst option, so you have to take it step by step.

Faced with Zhou Xu's question, Ye Jinghong shook his head.

"I haven't seen them since winter left."

This answer made Zhou Xu a little distressed. If he took it step by step, he would have to find someone who could do it.

Now we don’t even know where the Centaurs have gone, how can we take our time?

[Drogo said he had something to do? Could it be related to this matter?]

[Forget it, let's not dwell on this matter for now. Now that the forces in the mountains have been wiped out, in addition to building a new village in the mountains, expanding the territory and obtaining more resources, the next target should be the group of long-eared guys that Drogo mentioned earlier, right? ]

As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu looked into the distance.

"Have you seen the group of long-eared guys that Drogo mentioned before?"

"No."

Ye Jinghong shook his head again.

"Chief, you have recruited people over in the mountains. We only have a group of new soldiers left in our grassland village. We dare not run too far, fearing that we will cause trouble that we cannot solve."

“You did the right thing.”

Zhou Xu affirmed Ye Jinghong's concerns.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"We have just completed the incorporation of the population over the mountains. The training of the new recruits is not yet complete, and the follow-up troops have not yet been recruited."

"From what Drogo said at the time, those guys with long ears might not be easy to deal with. We'd better not provoke them for the time being. The most urgent thing now is to transform the people we have recruited into strength!"

Although at this time, the newly recruited population are still doing hard labor in various places, the addition of these hard laborers has greatly expanded their labor force, the work pressure of the villagers has been reduced, and he can recruit soldiers from the villagers.

According to Zhou Xu's current plan, he intends to start recruiting soldiers after the spring plowing is completed. This time, he will recruit another twenty people.

For Zhou Xu at the moment, labor is the most important, and as for soldiers, quality is more important than quantity.

In this tribal era, each tribe has such a small population that soldiers are generally enough. Too many soldiers are not good for development. Having more people working is the right thing to do.

"I understand what you mean, Chief."

After explaining the future development strategy of Caoyuan Village to Ye Jinghong, Zhou Xu, who had been busy for a while, found a place to take a rest.

But his mind was not idle, he was thinking about his own mantra combinations.

['Stone Soldier Control' seems like a pretty reliable mantra combination, why doesn't it work? ]

He was unwilling to give up and tried the mantra he had tried before again.

According to Zhou Xu's imagination, with this mantra, he should be able to pull up a group of puppet soldiers made of rocks to help him fight.

As a result, this combination of mantras did not show any effect except for consuming his mantra power.

At this time, Zhou Xu was wondering where the problem lay.

During this time, Zhou Xu looked at the skeleton beside him. After a moment of daze, he seemed to realize something and slapped his forehead.

"I understand, I understand! The reason why the concept of the combination of 'Stone Soldiers' cannot be established is because it is unscientific! It is irrational! So that's how it is, hahaha! So that's how it is!"
