Chapter 791 Everything Goes Well
At the same time, on the exploration team's side, the follow-up fuel for the hot air balloon had been delivered. After receiving the fuel replenishment, the hot air balloon soon took off again.
The hot air balloon operators are already very familiar with this kind of work, and with the power of mantras, there are naturally no accidents.
The hot air balloon flew fairly smoothly all the way to the front of the mountain on the opposite bank. The observer leaned out of the bamboo basket, activated the "Eye of Insight" and began to observe the situation below and even the surrounding area.
"No large forces were found, but there were signs of primitive tribes living near the foot of the mountain."
At this point, the observer paused.
"Primitive tribes were discovered in the coastal area."
Maintaining the 'eye of insight', the observer kept talking about everything he saw. At the same time, another observer in the bamboo basket took on the responsibility of recording, quickly writing down everything he discovered.
In order to cast the mantra with relative ease, the spiritual attribute must at least reach the three-star level.
But apart from the gifted people like the elves, this is not an easy thing for ordinary humans.
Under this premise, if the quality does not meet the standards, it can only be compensated by quantity.
The simplest way is to arrange two observers with "eyes of insight" and let them observe and record alternately.
There were trees in the mountains and forests blocking the view, so they could not see clearly even with the "Eye of Insight" turned on while flying in the air. Therefore, the observers' main observation location was still the coastal area. After scanning the area and releasing the mana, they turned back to look at the operator of the hot air balloon.
"Can we fly over this mountain now and take a look at the other side?"
Hearing this, the operator who had already checked the fuel shook his head.
"There's a risk that we won't be able to ensure we have enough fuel to fly back."
A hot air balloon is not a precise tool, and in order to avoid unexpected situations that may lead to insufficient fuel, they must ensure sufficient tolerance.
The observer, who was also aware of this, naturally would not continue to insist after learning the situation from the operator.
The hot air balloon returned quickly, and after landing, they immediately wrote a report and sent it to Xianyang City.
Inside the Qinzheng Hall, Zhou Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief as he flipped through the latest report sent by the exploration team.
[It would be nice if there weren't any troublesome forces. ]
In addition, the report sent back also included a report on the recruitment mission on the mountain.
It was quite good to get a group of cheap labor easily, which made Zhou Xu in a good mood.
Just at this moment, a bodyguard walked in with a document.
"Your Majesty, the report just came from the exchange group."
Zhou Xu took the report and started reading it.
From Zhou Xu's perspective, the work of the exchange groups on both sides was going extremely smoothly.
The wood elves who have been guarding the basin forest for many years have little knowledge, a casual lifestyle, and love to enjoy themselves. They are truly no match for them.
At this pace, the wood elves would soon become inseparable from their Great Zhou, and it would only be a matter of time before they were recruited by them.
Thinking of this, I feel relieved.
[Over at the exploration team, the hot air balloon has completed the exploration. The subsequent exploration can only wait until the large ship is built. As for the task of incorporating the primitive tribes in the mountains, judging from the latest report, the incorporation should be completed soon. By then, this batch of manpower will be freed up.]
Thinking about this group of manpower, Zhou Xu subconsciously thought of the mountainous areas where exploration work had been temporarily suspended due to the discovery of the existence of supernatural creatures.
"Speaking of which, is there still no news about that extraordinary creature in the mountainous area?"
In the Qinzheng Hall, Zhou Xu asked casually.
The deputy captain of the guard team beside him heard this and quickly spoke up...
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is no news from there today."
Zhou Xu nodded to indicate that he understood.
[Looking at the situation, I'm afraid that extraordinary creature has escaped into the mountains, and Qiansui can't find it now. ]
Just as Zhou Xu was thinking this, Qiansui said in the mountains that he was very irritable recently.
It's not that it can't find the guy opposite. The problem now is that it has found him, but there is no way to communicate with him, or the guy doesn't believe it.
Every time they see it, they turn around and run away. While running, they will occasionally look back at it as if it were a fool, which makes it very annoyed.
But it had no choice but to use the dumbest method, which was to chase it continuously until the opponent was exhausted.
Apart from being time-consuming and labor-intensive, there is no major problem with this method.
Long before Zhou Xu received the news, the extraordinary creature had been hunted by Qiansui for quite some time. Now it has been hunted for several days in a row, and its condition has been getting worse day by day.
One day, feeling the threat approaching from behind, the extraordinary creature fled all the way and escaped to a forest. At this moment, it was so tired that it was panting and drooling.
At the same time, his human eyes were filled with undisguised anger, and he roared at Qiansui who was chasing him from behind, as if to say, "Are you going to stop?!"
Although Qiansui was annoyed about this, considering his old father's instructions, he still patiently brought up what he had said before.
As long as the other party is willing to join Da Zhou, they can live in peace. The other party is not allowed to attack the people of Da Zhou, and when necessary, assist Da Zhou in resisting foreign invasion and protecting the safety of the residents here.
In contrast, it can survive freely in this mountain forest, and even the camps, villages and cities of the Great Zhou will provide it with food and even a place to sleep and rest.
As long as it wants, it doesn't mind living directly in the village camp.
When the extraordinary creature first heard the news from Qiansui, he thought Qiansui was crazy or had something wrong with his brain, which was why he said such an outrageous thing.
And now, it's kind of faltering.
The main thing is that if it continues like this, it will not survive more than a thousand years. It either has to leave this forest and find another place to live, otherwise it will die at the hands of a thousand years old sooner or later.
However, for them, leaving their familiar territory is also a very dangerous move.
Thinking of this, the extraordinary creature seemed to have some ideas in mind.
[No matter what, agree first. ]
With this thought in mind, the extraordinary creature agreed to Qiansui's proposal.
Of course, despite what it said, it still maintained a state of being ready to run away at any time, and it was obvious that it did not really believe Qiansui's words.
But Qiansui didn't think too much about it. He just wanted to get this matter over with as soon as possible.
Now, upon hearing the other party's agreement, Qiansui immediately stopped his actions, howled a few more times, reminded the other party of a few precautions, and then turned and left.
Even though the entire process was exactly as they had agreed, the extraordinary creature was still extremely confused when it saw Qiansui actually turn around and leave.
Obviously, he couldn't imagine that Qiansui was actually gone.
After being stunned for a while, he immediately went over quietly to confirm it, then he let out a long sigh, his legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground exhausted.
