Chapter 158 Do you want it?
Ever since they reached the cooperation agreement, the two sides have often met in this area.
However, Zhou Xu and the others had not made any move for a long time, which inevitably made Zhuo Ge have some thoughts in his mind.
And now this wave of joint efforts, while successfully hunting down six hyena people, has undoubtedly dispelled all his doubts.
Drogo is not a man who is particularly eloquent or good at speaking.
When I saw them before, they basically just said hello from a distance and left. There was no communication throughout the whole process, and there was no need for communication.
But this time it was different. In order to hunt the hyena people, both sides shot a lot of arrows.
Throughout the entire cold weapon era, arrows have been a very important resource. On the battlefield, all arrows that can be recovered must be recovered.
At this moment, the men under both sides were collecting arrows.
So, after a simple greeting, the two of them, as leaders of the two sides, stood there without saying a word to each other, which was very awkward.
In the end, Zhou Xu started chatting with Drogo casually, mainly wanting to find out about the situation of those hyena people.
Even though he has been paddling since the alliance agreement was reached, he was paddling because he couldn't stand the interference, and it was definitely not because he wanted the hyena people to survive well.
If possible, he also hoped that the Centaurs could seize the opportunity and beat the hyena people half to death.
As for completely destroying it...
Not to mention that Zhou Xu also thinks this is impossible, let's just look at the current situation. Once the hyena people are completely wiped out, the only forces entrenched in this grassland area will be them and the Centaurs. Is this really a good thing for them?
Therefore, considering the situation, Zhou Xu hoped that the hyena people would be beaten half to death, but not killed.
When it came to the topic of hunting hyena people, Drogo undoubtedly opened the conversation.
From Drogo's words, Zhou Xu learned that there were probably about twenty to thirty hyena people occupying the grassland.
But even Drogo didn't know exactly how many there were, because both sides mainly engaged in hunting, and most of the time, they would not all gather in one place.
Under this premise, from the time the agreement was reached to now, including this time, Drogo and his men have fought the hyenas three times...
"These guys are very cunning. Once they see something is wrong, they will scatter and run for their lives. In the previous two times, we only killed four people in total."
When talking about this, Drogo's tone was a little annoyed.
But there is nothing we can do about it, we can only say that the tactic of escaping in all directions is indeed effective.
He was forced to gather most of his tribesmen to act together. He made up his mind that if the other party played the same trick on him again, he would disperse and chase after them one by one, killing those hyena people to death!
Unexpectedly, I met Zhou Xu and others this time.
And judging from the results, this is undoubtedly a good thing.
"This time, thanks to you guys for blocking one side and blocking their escape route, otherwise they would be completely scattered and it would take us a lot of effort to chase them down."
Having said that, Drogo changed the subject.
"How about you? How many hyenas have you hunted down during this period of time?"
Zhou Xu could be said to have been mentally prepared for the question thrown by Drogo.
"We have fought twice, including this time. The last time was similar to what you said. The other side just fled in all directions."
Zhou Xu didn't explain the words in detail, he just said it casually.
According to his thinking, Drogo and his men only fought three times, so it was normal for them to fight twice.
Sure enough, Drogo nodded without any suspicion.
During this time, Zhou Xu glanced at his subordinates who were collecting arrows. Since the arrows were shot rather scattered, it would probably take some time to find them all.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu simply spoke again.
"Drogo, you centaurs should be more familiar with this area. I want to know where you encountered hyenas the last two times. This way, we can use it as a reference when we hunt for hyenas in the future."
What Zhou Xu said made sense and there was no reason for Zhuo Ge to refuse. In fact, in his opinion, this was a sign that Zhou Xu was very concerned about this matter, so he pointed out the direction to Zhou Xu very straightforwardly.
And during the time they were talking, both sides finally packed up their arrows.
During the process, it was inevitable to pick up the opponent's arrows. A centaur quickly ran to Drogo's side, and after looking at Zhou Xu, he handed one of the arrows to Drogo with a little embarrassment.
"Chief, look at this."
As soon as Drogo saw the feathers, he knew they were not his.
[Zhou Xu is standing next to me now. What does this guy mean by handing someone else's arrow to me? ]
As this thought flashed through his mind, Drogo's brows unconsciously frowned.
According to the situation at the time, the arrows of both sides were mixed together, and it was inevitable that they would pick up each other's arrows, but considering their current relationship, if they picked up each other's arrows, they would definitely have to return them.
Drogo felt somewhat embarrassed by his own people's behavior.
But then he took a quick look and saw the arrowhead emitting a metallic luster, and Drogo's eyes widened.
Taking the arrow, Drogo gently touched the arrowhead with his fingertips, feeling the coldness and sharpness of the arrowhead, and a surge of shock rose in his heart.
The Centaurs have ancestral skills in the use and making of bows and arrows, which can be said to have been passed down from the previous civilization.
When time travelers like Zhou Xu were still using slingshots, they were already using bows and arrows.
But even so, the changes of the times and the transformation of civilization will still cause many skills to be lost.
What Drogo and his men are using now are the stone arrowheads that Zhou Xu and his men have already eliminated. In terms of power and durability, they are far inferior to the copper arrowheads that Zhou Xu and his men are using now.
Although Drogo didn't know what material it was made of, as a skilled archer, he could tell at a glance that the arrowhead was extraordinary.
This made him extremely troubled.
Even though they had joined forces, he still couldn't bring up the matter of the arrowhead.
Seeing Drogo's dilemma, Zhou Xu grinned.
"This arrow was made by a craftsman from our tribe."
“…”
Zhou Xu's sudden words made Zhuogo stunned for a moment. He obviously did not expect that the other party would take the initiative to tell him about this matter when he did not know how to start.
And what Zhou Xu said next undoubtedly surprised him even more.
"Want some? I can sell some to you."
“…”
