Chapter 153 Don’t Eat
The journey was safe and sound. Before dark the next day, the almost exhausted group finally returned to the grassland camp successfully.
Although they stopped briefly to rest and eat something, the quality of their rest was not good due to the presence of the three bison.
After the trip, everyone, including Zhou Xu himself, was exhausted and dizzy.
The patrol team outside the camp discovered them in time. When Zhou Xu and his companions saw the patrol members, they felt like they had seen their saviors and quickly handed the three bison to them.
After returning to the camp, we didn’t even have the energy to eat and we all fell asleep.
He was so tired that his biological clock failed to wake him up the next day. When Zhou Xu opened his eyes, the sun was about to set, and he was awakened by hunger...
Needless to say, the camp immediately prepared a sumptuous meal for them.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, although Zhou Xu still felt very tired, he had no intention of going back to the tent to sleep in the short term. Instead, he got up and walked towards the camp.
I saw that in this area, a number of thick pillars had been erected.
All of these pillars were made from the trunks of large trees after simple processing. Now, almost half of them were buried in the ground. The three bison that they had brought back with great effort were now tied to the three pillars.
Needless to say, these three pillars were ordered by Zhou Xu before he set off.
Whatever animals they caught could usually be used.
This is indeed the case.
Even a strong buffalo could not pull up this pillar that was half buried in the ground.
Because Zhou Xu fell into a deep sleep as soon as he came back, he did not teach them how to train the three wild buffaloes.
So throughout the whole day, the people at the grassland camp simply tied them there and ignored them.
"Has the food been fed?"
"No, Chief, you didn't tell us what they eat, so we don't dare to feed them casually."
After getting a general understanding of the situation, Zhou Xu nodded.
At this moment, in the area where the three bison were tied, there was no grass at all, only mud and gravel, because the land had to be dug up to bury the pillars.
In other words, these three bison have basically been hungry for a day.
But Zhou Xu didn't care. What could go wrong if he was hungry for a day? In fact, to some extent, according to his thinking, it was better to train on an empty stomach.
At least that was the case when he raised dogs and cats in the past. Only when the target was hungry enough could he establish a certain positive relationship with the target more smoothly through food.
"Go outside and gather some fodder. It doesn't need to be too much, just enough to fill up a backpack."
"yes!"
After receiving the order, the tribesman ran out of the camp with a basket on his back to collect fodder.
Zhou Xu, on the other hand, sat on a wooden stake nearby, looking at the three bison tied not far away while sorting out his thoughts.
According to his thinking, there are roughly two methods of domestication: one is taming by force, and the other is taming with "love".
Taming by force is simple to say, it just means beating it into submission and letting the target know clearly who is the boss.
Of course, this method is easier said than done, but it is not easy at all, especially when the combat power of your tamed target is quite fierce.
Zhou Xu didn't think that any of them could defeat the other party by force and make the other party completely convinced without harming the bison's life.
Although he had never understood cows, he had heard the term "bull temper" and could more or less feel from it that it was definitely not a good idea to tame this species by force.
So Zhou Xu's choice was the second method, using "love" to influence the other party.
The first step is to let the three bison know that not only will I not harm them, but I will even give them food.
Just as Zhou Xu was thinking about this, the tribe member had already returned carrying a basket of fodder.
The workload was indeed not huge. There was fodder everywhere outside the camp, and it wouldn't take much time to fill a basket and go back and forth.
"Divide this basket of hay into three portions, one with more and the other two with less, and put them in three baskets respectively."
Under Zhou Xu's command, the preparations were completed quickly.
The existence of bison poses a relatively large threat to them.
Zhou Xuke had no intention of letting his tribe members get close to the bison easily. What if the bison suddenly attacked because of being too nervous, and knocked one of their tribe members into paralysis? That would be really terrible.
[Controlled by Skeleton Soldiers! ]
As soon as he spoke the truth, Zhou Xu directly pulled up three skeleton soldiers, and asked them to pick up the baskets of fodder respectively, and walked slowly towards the three bison not far away.
During this process, the bison became visibly nervous and began to back away until the noose around their necks began to tighten.
During this time, Zhou Xu ignored the reactions of the three bison. Due to his previous frequent use of mantras, he now had very little mantra power left. After a whole day's sleep, he did not recover much and did not have the energy to fight with the bison.
After calculating the distance accurately, Zhou Xu controlled the skeleton soldiers to place the fodder at a specific distance.
He did not let the skeleton soldiers put the fodder directly in front of the three bison.
On the one hand, the distance was too close, which might make the bison more nervous and cause him some unnecessary trouble.
On the other hand, it was because of his little method of domestication.
That is, if the bison wants to eat grass, it must move closer to him.
And now, he was sitting at a safe distance that was relatively close to the bison, but not threatened by the bison.
This step requires patience.
Zhou Xu, who was sitting on a wooden stake, was holding his chin, waiting quietly.
Anyway, he is extremely tired now. He doesn't have the energy to work. He might as well stay here and fight with the buffalo. This is also a very important business.
There was no doubt that the three bison were hungry, but due to Zhou Xu's presence, they were wary and did not dare to get close to eat the grass in the basket.
Zhou Xu was not in a hurry about this and just rested there.
In this process, he fully realized how stubborn that "bull temper" was.
He sat there for at least an hour, but the three bison remained alert the whole time and did not come any closer.
"Chief, dinner is ready, would you like some more?"
He had just woken up and had a big meal about an hour and a half ago.
However, it was getting late at this point, and he had no intention of continuing to follow the three bison.
"You guys eat, don't worry about me."
Zhou Xu stood up as he spoke, then pulled up the three skeleton soldiers again and took the fodder away in front of the three bison.
Forget about eating. He’s not the one who’s hungry anyway…
The update is here, and I would like to thank my book friend '帝天半城残雪' for the reward!
