Chapter 967 Test Begins

With the tribal population as a stable channel for obtaining high-quality members, the expansion of the state religion has been going quite well recently.

Branches of the national religion were established one after another in Black Moon City, the grasslands, the mountains, and even in the rainforest area.

Not to mention other places, in the rainforest area, the whole work went very smoothly.

After all, blessed by the rank of 'Dragon Lord', the lizardmen in the rainforest are all his most loyal believers.

In terms of loyalty alone, they are truly the most loyal group of people within the Great Zhou.

When he arrived there, as soon as the state church branch was established, Bo Levin was directly promoted to branch bishop on the spot.

However, Zhou Xu actually had some concerns about these lizardmen.

Why are the lizard people loyal to him?

To put it bluntly, it is because of his rank of 'Dragon Lord'.

Deep down, they are loyal to the dragon clan and believe in Ceylon, the dragon god who created them, rather than Zhou Xu.

After sorting out his thoughts and realizing this, it was hard for Zhou Xu not to think too much.

After all, with this kind of belief system, who knows when it will become unreliable?

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about Bam, the son of the Dragon God.

Zhou Xu was not clear about what his relationship with the Dragon God Ceylon was in the past.

But no matter how strong the relationship is, can it be stronger than that of one's own son?

Zhou Xu didn't believe that the Dragon God Ceylon left nothing for his own son.

Even if it's really not good.

Bam's ancient dragon bloodline and his identity as the son of the Dragon God are enough to make the lizard people bow down to him.

If Bam gave an order to the lizardmen in the future, and that order was contrary to his order, who would the lizardmen listen to? To be honest, Zhou Xu thought that Bam's authority was likely higher than his.

In this way, from Zhou Xu's perspective, the Lizardmen can be used, but he cannot rely on the Lizardmen for everything, and it is even more impossible to put the focus of development on the Lizardmen. He must be prepared for some worst-case scenarios.

Of course, before the worst happens, Zhou Xu doesn't mind making a few more attempts.

The state religion was undoubtedly an attempt on his part. He wanted to see if he could transfer the lizard people's belief in the Dragon God to his state religion.

If the Lizardmen no longer believed in the Dragon God, but instead believed in the state religion and were baptized by the state religion's ideology, could he completely transfer the Lizardmen's loyalty to the Dragon God to himself?

At this stage, this is just an idea, and the specific implementation needs to be carried out slowly.

Back to the topic, in just a few words, Zhou Xu had already arranged everything here.

After that, he didn't have time to rest. He turned around and went to the horse farm outside the city to discuss with Ma Guotao about breeding new war horses.

Looking at the porcelain bottle handed over by their Majesty, Ma Guotao was stunned after learning that the bottle contained a drop of blood essence of an extraordinary creature.

Damn! Extraordinary creatures! He originally thought that if His Majesty wanted to obtain the essence and blood of extraordinary creatures, he would have to wait for several months, right? If things didn't go well, it might even take a year or two, or even longer.

Who could have imagined that in less than half a month, their Majesty brought back the essence and blood of this extraordinary creature.

"Luckily, I ran into an extraordinary creature as soon as I got there."

“…”

Ma Guotao was speechless. What kind of luck did their Majesty have? He had been on this grassland for so long and had never seen any extraordinary creatures. But their Majesty encountered one when he went there? But in fact, Ma Guotao's idea was wrong.

When he arrived, this grassland had already been completely occupied by their Great Zhou. In this case, even if there were extraordinary creatures originally, they would definitely choose to leave.

Apart from a few particularly ferocious ones, under normal circumstances, extraordinary creatures with high intelligence are unlikely to come into conflict with large forces, because they know that this will bring trouble to themselves.

With this in mind, they often choose to avoid it.

On the other hand, in the new area, they have not found any traces of any large forces so far.

The existence of general primitive tribes not only poses no threat to extraordinary creatures, but can even be said to provide them with a relatively stable hunting channel.

At that time, the primitive tribe was the hunting ground of the black beast. They broke into each other's hunting ground and would run into each other. Isn't that natural?

"Then your majesty, shall we start right away?"

Zhou Xu nodded.

“Just start!”

Even if a warhorse of exotic or extraordinary level is successfully evolved, subsequent reproduction will require a lot of time. Therefore, in Zhou Xu's opinion, the sooner this work is started, the better.

Ma Guotao, who received a positive answer, did not show much excitement, but instead had a serious look on his face.

Every single horse in this horse farm is the result of his hard work.

Normally, if any of the horses were injured, he would feel uncomfortable for a long time.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

If the test fails this time, there is a high probability that everyone will die immediately, and there is a high possibility that more than one person will die.

When he thought of this, Ma Guotao felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

However, he also knew that the results of this training were directly related to the growth of their Great Zhou's military strength, and he had no room for refusal.

Walking into the stable and looking at the fine horses he had raised, Ma Guotao felt even more pained.

"Your Majesty, just pick the best one directly?"

“Just pick the best!”

Compared to Ma Guotao who was feeling heartbroken, Zhou Xu's tone was full of determination.

Zhou Xu was not sure what the key factor affecting the success rate was.

Then just choose the better one. The better the quality of the Arabian horse, the higher the success rate. This idea is not wrong, right?

According to Zhou Xu's idea, if even the best Ferghana horse in the stable cannot successfully absorb this drop of essence and blood, then the other Ferghana horses will probably be useless.

At that time, he might consider the situation and think of other ways.

While he was thinking, Ma Guotao had already personally led out a yellow horse.

In the sunlight, the yellow fur exudes a metallic luster, and the beautiful muscle lines are even more dazzling.

When Zhou Xu made the decision before, he didn't feel anything.

After seeing this horse, he suddenly understood Ma Guotao's feelings.

Not to mention Ma Guotao, who had trained him, even he felt a little reluctant at this moment.

[How about keeping this horse? Or getting another one?]

This thought only flashed through his mind for a moment, and was quickly thrown out of his head.

At the same time, his eyes became firm.

Compared with the great cause of their Great Zhou, these are nothing! In order to avoid affecting other horses in the stable, they led the horse to a separate stable next door.

Then after a brief discussion, it was decided to let Ma Guotao do the operation personally.
