Chapter 786: Unexpected Things
The garrison camp in the mountainous area quickly received Zhou Xu's follow-up orders. After reading the content, the person in charge here had an indescribable subtle expression.
Go talk to that extraordinary creature? The moment he saw this instruction, the person in charge felt that their Majesty was also quite whimsical.
But then, as he thought about it, he suddenly felt that this method was not impossible, or it was completely feasible.
Extraordinary creatures are not ordinary beasts, they are highly intelligent and are units capable of effective communication.
But before that, they have to find Chitose first.
Their Majesty has already written it clearly in the order, telling Qiansui to make contact with the extraordinary creature.
After all, if they were allowed to come into contact with the extraordinary creature right from the start, not to mention the risks involved, it would be highly unlikely that they would be able to find it.
For them, finding Qiansui was actually relatively simple. They just needed to send out small teams to spread out and shout Qiansui's name in the mountains and forests.
Qiansui has sharp ears and eyes, and will come over quickly when he hears any noise.
And this is indeed the case.
After meeting Chitose and explaining to him their Majesty's next arrangements, Chitose's face showed a very human look of confusion.
Obviously, this is something it had never imagined.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Qiansui's idea at the beginning was very simple, which was to kill the opponent and then swallow the opponent's essence and blood to strengthen himself.
In nature, the strong prey on the weak, and this is normal for them.
However, it also has to admit that the specific implementation process was not as smooth as it had initially expected.
That guy not only ran very fast in the mountains and forests, but was also very cunning, especially his farting trick, which sounded funny but was quite tricky to deal with.
Even at that time, when it was attacked by the stench, its sense of smell lost its sensitivity for a while, and it took a long time to recover.
Although it was able to capture the scent and follow it later, the guy escaped every time, which made Qiansui's mentality a little bad recently.
But even so, it never thought that its old father was actually planning to recruit the other party.
Faced with this situation, Qiansui was silent for two seconds.
It doesn’t seem to be impossible.
Thinking of this, Qiansui nodded, then turned and left.
As for finding the guy on the opposite side, the soldiers arranged by the Great Zhou here can basically not help.
However, it has temporarily lost the other party's trace at this moment, and it is not an easy task to find the other party all of a sudden later.
Before this matter is resolved, for safety reasons, the exploration work in the remaining areas of the mountains cannot be continued and must be temporarily shelved.
In order to explore this area, Zhou Xu had specially dispatched additional manpower.
Now that this mission could not be carried out for the time being, he obviously did not want to waste the additional manpower, so he transferred them to Green Forest City to assist the Green Forest City's exploration team in carrying out outward exploration.
As early as when Zhou Xu had a conversation with the Wood Elf Chief Locke, he mentioned that, while avoiding the forest, their Great Zhou exploration team would be allowed to explore the surrounding areas and even more peripheral areas.
Although judging from the geographical location of that area, even if a powerful enemy attacks from the outside in the future, the first to bear the threat of invasion will be the wood elf village.
But from Zhou Xu's perspective, he at least had to know what was going on outside so that he wouldn't be completely in the dark.
Locke agreed to this request quite readily.
After all, Zhou Xu and the others had mentioned that their exploration team would not enter the forest.
They had already started this exploration work when the two parties first reached an agreement.
After several days of exploration, we found that the basin, centered on the forest where the wood elves live, was surrounded by steep cliffs. Not to mention going up the mountain, even with climbing tools, climbing from the inside of the basin is very dangerous.
Fortunately, they found a similar canyon road on the other side of the basin.
While reporting this discovery, the exploration team at the front line had already built a simple camp outside the canyon and began to stockpile daily necessities here.
Now that the order had been given from above, they did not hesitate at all and immediately headed into the canyon.
The road here is far less smooth and flat than the canyon road on the other side connecting to Green Forest City. It can even be said to be rugged.
Inside the canyon, perhaps due to previous landslides, several roads were blocked, forcing them to climb over them. Even if they explored the entire route on foot, it would not be easy.
However, the length of this canyon is not as long as the other side. After climbing over many huge rocks that blocked the way, the exploration team crossed the canyon and reached the end. The scene in front of them suddenly became clear, and then what came into their eyes was a sparkling lake!
Looking further into the distance, you can see rolling mountains.
Just as the members of the exploration team were sighing at the scene before them, two figures wrapped in animal skins and with dishevelled hair and faces entered their field of vision at the lake in the distance in front of their left.
At that moment, the other party obviously discovered them, and then ran towards the mountains behind them, and disappeared into the forest in an instant.
“Those should be members of the tribe living in this mountain.”
Faced with this situation, the members of the exploration team were not in a hurry.
The primitive tribes pose basically no threat to them, and they are now focusing more of their energy on observing the surrounding environment.
"The flat area between the lake and the mountain is too small. It's hard to set up a camp. There's not even a flat area at the foot of the mountain in some areas. The mountain falls directly into the lake. The tribes here should all live in the surrounding mountains."
As they talked, they turned their eyes to the surrounding mountains.
"Compared to the time when we were inside the basin, the slope of the mountain outside is much gentler."
After a brief comment, the captain's eyes fell on the mountains across the lake.
"From the current situation, if we want to go to the other side, we have to go over the mountains and we may not know where to go. If there is no road in the middle or we get lost in the mountains, it will be troublesome."
Having said this, the captain paused.
"Xiao Li, hurry back and apply for the hot air balloon, and report the situation here."
"yes!"
After receiving the order, Xiao Li left quickly.
The captain's gaze once again fell on the mountains in the distance.
If the hot air balloon arrives, it can at most fly over for some reconnaissance, but it won't be able to take them all over.
"If you want to get to the other side, you still have to row a boat."
"That mountain looks close, but it's actually very far away. It will take more than two or three days to row there. A small boat can't carry much supplies. We need a big boat!"
