Chapter 150 Locking on the Target
At this moment, Zhou Xu discovered that the herd of bison had at least several dozen heads. It looked like a huge mass of black, and the scale was not small at all.
Some of the bison were eating grass with their heads down, while others waded directly into the river nearby, apparently trying to use the flowing river water to cool themselves down and escape the heat.
To be honest, bison is not Zhou Xu's most desired target. If possible, he still hopes to find a herd of wild horses.
In this way, they can not only solve the problem of transportation efficiency, but also their tribe can start to train cavalry units.
But bison are not bad either. Although the cavalry is gone, bison have better endurance than wild horses. After proper training, they can also be used for farming and plowing the fields. Compared with horses, they are more conducive to their internal development.
These two options have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Zhou Xu is now eager to improve his military strength, which is the main reason why he hopes to find a herd of wild horses and unlock the cavalry unit.
But since he couldn't find it, he naturally wouldn't keep worrying about it and soon turned his attention to the herd of bison in front of him.
The bison basically meet the current needs of their tribe, but that doesn't mean that the next things will be easy.
Although it is a herbivore, the bison's physique is there. According to the body size of a normal human, if it is hit, it will be disabled if not killed...
"There are too many bison. If we start to capture them and scare the herd, they will rush forward and we will be in danger."
Obviously, too many numbers may not be a good thing for them now.
As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu came up with an idea after pondering for a few seconds.
"I will use the skeleton soldiers to scare the cattle and make them flee in all directions. While they are fleeing, we will take advantage of the chaos to see if we can knock down one or two of them and capture them later."
If a herd of bison like this went crazy and charged forward, not to mention the few people like them, even an entire camp would be razed to the ground.
Trying to catch a group of them directly is simply wishful thinking.
Look for opportunities to catch one or two first, and then proceed step by step. This shows that Zhou Xu's mind is still very rational.
After confirming the plan with Zhou Chongshan and Ye Jinghong, Zhou Xu did not waste any time and quickly activated the power of truth.
[Skeleton Soldier Summons! ]
Taking into account the special abilities of their leader, they decided to bring a group of skeleton soldiers with them for their leader to use in this operation.
At the same time, there are always various skeletons on this prairie. Zhou Xu directly sent out a "Skeleton Soldier Summons" to see if he can gather some skeleton soldiers from the wild.
As the power of the mantra spread, some of the soil within the coverage area suddenly loosened, and skeleton hands began to stretch out from the ground. The skeletons that had been buried for who knows how long saw the light of day again! This time, they brought ten skeletons with them. What was unexpected was that their leader summoned 20 to 30 skeletons. Including the ten they brought with them, the number of skeletons suddenly reached 40.
This time, even Zhou Xu himself was surprised and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Because at this moment, he realized that in this era when the wild may be scattered with corpses, the value of the mantra "Skeleton Soldier Summons" is probably greater than he had previously expected!
Without any delay, after the skeleton soldiers gathered together, the movement of the surrounding skeleton soldiers had already attracted the attention of the bison to a certain extent.
However, these skeleton soldiers did not pose a threat to the bison for the time being, so the bison were still waiting and watching.
But one can feel that vigilance has risen.
[Skeleton soldiers strengthened! ]
[Skeleton soldiers' speed is enhanced! ]
Since the goal is to disturb the bison herd and make it flee in all directions, the skeleton soldiers must be given a certain level of strength in order to increase their deterrent effect.
Its usual shaky and slow appearance undoubtedly lacks intimidation.
It would be ridiculous if the skeleton soldiers went up and were crushed by the bison's hooves without achieving any effect.
With the help of Zhou Xu's multiple mantras, the skeleton soldiers charged forward fiercely. Coupled with their large numbers and numbers, it can be said that they successfully scared the cattle and caused them to flee quickly.
Obviously, as a herbivore, although bison has good fighting ability, its fighting consciousness is not that strong. When encountering things, its first reaction is to escape.
During this process, Zhou Xu, who had his "Eye of Insight" turned on, saw at a glance that there was an adult bison in the herd, with two young bison following at its feet, whose height was only about the base of its legs.
At this moment, the bison herd fled quickly because of the approaching skeleton soldiers. The two little bison were confused and didn't know where to run. The adult bison, who was suspected to be their mother, was anxiously protecting the two little bison, wanting to escape with them.
In this chaotic situation, Zhou Xu locked onto them at a glance, and at the same time the skeleton soldiers also approached them.
"See that bison with two calves? Those are the ones!"
Following Zhou Xu's order, everyone responded.
During this time, the mother bison discovered the skeleton soldiers approaching her and her child, and immediately burst out with her aggressiveness.
The cow dug its hooves into the ground a few times, then lowered its head and charged! At that moment, in front of the mother bison, the skeleton soldiers that rushed towards her were as fragile as thin paper. The interception net composed of nearly forty skeleton soldiers was instantly penetrated. The skeleton soldiers that were hit head-on were smashed to pieces on the spot, and Zhou Xu and others in the distance were shocked.
Of course, now is not the time to be surprised. The intensity of the bison's attack was within Zhou Xu's expectations. Although many skeleton soldiers were knocked to pieces, some of them still took the opportunity to entangle the mother bison.
Some of them hugged the cow's legs, while others simply hugged the two horns and hung on the mother bison.
After all, a bison is just a bison, and its intelligence is limited. Its horns and legs are entangled by the skeleton soldiers. The feeling of foreign objects on its body makes the mother bison extremely anxious, and it shakes its head and tail, swinging it around in an attempt to shake the skeleton soldiers off itself.
During this process, Zhou Xu controlled the skeleton soldiers with one hand, pulling up the skeleton soldiers that were knocked apart, while commanding the surrounding skeleton soldiers to entangle them from all directions.
During this period, Zhou Chongshan seized an opportunity and quickly swung out the flying rope in his hand.
This was the weapon they had used earlier to deal with spider monsters, and later they also used it in hunting.
The zipline flew along the grass, tangling around the mother bison's legs and feet several times, making her even more panicked.
Seeing this, other people around, including Ye Jinghong, also threw out flying ropes.
The zipline kept entangled with the mother bison's legs and feet, finally causing her to completely lose her balance. Her heavy body fell to the ground with a bang.
