Chapter 284 Family Wolf Optimization
"Thousand Years Old?! You've grown so big?!"
Zhou Xu looked down and saw that the person who appeared beside him was Qiansui, whose height was as high as his waist. As for the length...
"If you stand up, wouldn't you be taller than me?!"
Although Qiansui had grown quite big when he left the grassland village, he was much bigger now. It was hard to hold him in the first place, and now he couldn't hold him at all.
However, Zhou Xu had a general idea of the situation.
This animal has a specific period of growth, and during this period, their body size grows very quickly, and it can even be said that they change once a month.
It was like this when he had cats before he traveled through time. It seemed that the cats grew a little bigger every month, especially after three or four months, when it seemed to grow even faster. It was not until after one year old that the size gradually stabilized.
“Ah~”
Having not seen Zhou Xu for a long time, Qiansui rubbed him gently and acted coquettishly towards him.
At the same time, a pair of dark golden eyes opened slightly and glanced at the wolf with its belly exposed not far away.
Sensing Qiansui's gaze, the wolf shuddered and turned upside down to pee...
When the trainer noticed this, the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched violently, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do.
At this moment, a snow-white figure jumped out and roared at the wolves, as if scolding them.
After doing this for a while, it ran to Qiansui, wagging its tail, as if asking for credit.
After seeing this scene, Zhou Xu suddenly understood the feelings of Ye Jinghong and the trainers.
[What a lackey. ]
He remembered that when the little white wolf was a child, it liked to sneak attack Qiansui. Now it seemed that it had been completely defeated.
Just as Zhou Xu was thinking this, the little white wolf, who had obviously noticed his presence, ran up to him happily, as if trying to show goodwill to him.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu was about to reach out and rub its "dog head", but Qiansui was a little unhappy and glanced directly at the little white wolf.
The little white wolf, who was acting as a lackey, immediately understood and ran to the side with its tail between its legs. Zhou Xu was confused about whether to laugh or cry, and then he touched Qiansui's head.
"You~"
Touching Qiansui's head, Zhou Xu casually discussed with the trainers about the problem that had just occurred.
"Reporting to the leader, although we raised these five guys since they were young, they are wolves after all, and they are still wild in their bones. Apart from the few of us who are responsible for feeding them and training them every day, they are still very wary of other people. If you approach them easily, you will probably be attacked by them."
At this point, the trainer paused.
"But please rest assured, Chief. Under normal circumstances, they will not be aggressive when they see people in the village. Just don't approach them suddenly or touch them."
Listening to the trainer's words, Zhou Xu nodded.
"I understand the situation."
As it stands, these wolves are too wild, and even if they are domesticated, they will only get appropriately close to their trainers.
Unlike animals like bison and wild horses, which tend to be gentle in nature, after being successfully domesticated and trained, basically anyone can be controlled after a simple run-in.
This is undoubtedly the effect Zhou Xu wants to achieve, but now it seems that he is still far from it.
What they need to do now is to further eliminate the wildness in their bones.
But this is probably not something that can be achieved through simple training.
"Among these five wolves, which ones have relatively good personalities?"
Hearing this, one of the trainers raised his hand, indicating that the wolf he was training had a relatively good character.
"Very good. Then we will choose a female wolf with a similarly good character to breed with it and the white wolf."
At this moment, Zhou Xu's idea was very simple. He basically applied the breeding strategy of pet cats.
An animal's personality is determined half by heredity and half by acquired factors.
The group in front of us, including the little white wolf, is a typical generation of domestic wolves.
Choose two first-generation domestic wolves with good personalities to breed offspring, and the wolf cubs born will most likely have much better personalities.
Then, these second-generation domestic wolves with good personalities can be bred with second-generation domestic wolves with equally good personalities to produce the third generation with more stable personalities.
By continuously optimizing genes from generation to generation like this, sooner or later he will be able to train a dog! As for those with bad personalities, there is no need to breed them.
As for the question of combat effectiveness...
To be honest, he really didn't expect the domestic wolves to provide him with any combat power. In Zhou Xu's opinion, skeleton wolves were more useful than living ones.
After briefly explaining the breeding idea to the trainers and keepers, Zhou Xu turned and looked at the four first-generation domestic wolves that had already been eliminated.
"As for these four, they will be sent to Black Moon Village, Salt Lake Village, Desolate Mountain Village, and Iron Mountain Village with their trainers to carry out their work."
I don't mean to kill them directly. After all, they have achieved certain results in training.
After feeding them so much meat and investing so much time and energy, they must have played some role in their lives, right? In this primitive era, there were still many wild beasts in the wild. Some wild beasts would even sneak into villages at night to eat poultry, or steal vegetables and fruits in the fields.
Not to mention Huangshan Village and Tieshan Village, the situation is particularly serious in the mountains.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
As for Salt Lake Village, it was indeed a deserted place in the past.
But now that chicken farms and rabbit farms have been established, places with plenty of food are easy targets for thieves, and these places just happen to need domestic wolves to guard the homes.
On this side, Zhou Xu had just arranged the distribution and arrangements of these first-generation wolves. Li Ce, who had just returned on horseback, heard that the leader had arrived outside the village, and immediately came over breathlessly.
"Chief, Chief!"
Seeing Li Ce like this, Zhou Xu's heart sank.
"Why are you so anxious? What happened?"
At this moment, Li Ce didn't even have time to catch his breath before he told Zhou Xu about his discovery.
After listening to this, Zhou Xu frowned and then glanced at the sky.
"It's getting late now. We're running out of time. We'll leave early tomorrow morning."
"yes!"
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Li Ce had already assembled fifteen cavalrymen and was ready to go.
"Li Ce, you lead the way, let's go!"
At the command, the cavalry immediately filed out.
After moving for a morning, gradually, a streak of black came into Zhou Xu's sight at the end of the grassland.
This discovery made Zhou Xu subconsciously look up at the sky. The bright blue sky and white sun were dazzling! It formed a sharp contrast with the black in the distance.
"That's it!"
Hearing Li Ce's call, Zhou Xu opened the "Eye of Insight" without saying a word.
In an instant, his entire vision was completely opened up. Unlike the bright blue sky above his head, the sky in the distance was somehow pitch black, and it was so dark that it seemed like a void that could swallow people! It felt like there was a disconnection between them and the sky above their heads.
The closer they got, the more 'black' he saw, until it completely filled his entire field of vision.
Zhou Xu was determined to find out what was going on, so he rode his horse closer and closer. The scene before him soon made him stand still.
At this moment, within Zhou Xu's field of vision, the world in front of him seemed to be completely broken. He seemed to have reached the end of this world, and could no longer see any road ahead.
I stuck my head out and looked down, and there was endless dark void below!
"What the hell is going on?!"
