Chapter 209: No Benefit, No Early Rising
The drop of "heart blood" found in the thousand-year-old mother's heart made Zhou Xu curious about the animals in this world.
He began to pay attention to whether there was similar "heart blood" in the hearts of other animals.
So far, Zhou Xu has looked at the hearts of a range of animals, including cows, horses, antelopes, rabbits, etc., but has found nothing.
This situation gave Zhou Xu a new idea.
[Is there something wrong with my thinking? Not every animal has that kind of "heart blood", but only sufficiently powerful beasts can produce it? ]
Zhou Xu thought that his guess was somewhat based on facts, so he told his subordinates to pay more attention to the traces of ferocious beasts when they were outside.
This is also the main reason why Ye Jinghong gave all the bodies of other hungry wolves to Drogo and his men, but only brought back the body of the wolf king.
Leaving their residence, they have special people in the village who are responsible for skinning and meat removal.
However, because of the fighting during the day, the internal post-war work was so busy that everyone in the village was mobilized to help. At this moment, neither the bodies of the hyena men nor the body of the wolf king had been dealt with in time.
They had just finished dinner and were not sleepy yet. They were thinking about which one to deal with first, when Zhou Xu came.
"Deal with the wolf king's body first."
"yes!"
After receiving a response, two skilled workers started working efficiently.
During this process, Zhou Xu subconsciously looked for Qiansui's trace.
After all, the first drop of "heart blood" he discovered went into the little guy's stomach.
If he could find a second drop, Zhou Xu had not yet decided whether to feed it to Qiansui, so he still had to be cautious.
But I don't know if it's because he's gradually reaching the age of being 'wild', but recently Qiansui hasn't been as clingy as he was when he was a child. He's started to let go of his nature and run wild everywhere, and I don't know where he's gone now.
However, Zhou Xu was not worried. The little guy was smart and knew where his home was. He estimated that he would come back to sleep in about an hour.
Cut open the belly and take out the internal organs first as usual.
After what happened before, their entire action seemed much more cautious.
"Chief, do you want to cut it open?"
After carefully taking out the wolf king's heart, the villager who was responsible for dealing with the prey's corpse asked.
"Cut it open."
Without hesitation, Zhou Xu gave the answer directly.
The villager nodded after getting permission and took a ceramic bowl from his side to catch the water.
Then he held the heart with one hand and carefully cut it open with a knife in the other.
A lot of blood spilled during this period, but it was not the "heart blood" he had seen before.
That 'heart blood' was said to be blood, but in fact it gave Zhou Xu a completely different visual sensation. It was closer to the texture of a liquid gem, like a drop of flowing ruby.
[It seems that this wolf king is gone. ]
[But it is true. The beast was so strong that it was beyond the level of ordinary wild beasts. Only one drop of 'heart blood' was left. This wolf king obviously did not reach that level.]
After confirming that the Wolf King had no "heart blood", Zhou Xu undoubtedly lost interest in it all of a sudden.
By the time they finished dealing with the wolf king's body, the day's work was basically over.
When he returned to his residence, the little guy Qiansui had already crawled into the bed, but he was not asleep. He was looking at him with his big round eyes.
"You kid, didn't you know that the wolf king had nothing on him, so you didn't go there at all?"
“Ouch~”
Faced with the question, Chitose rolled over on the bed, not knowing whether he understood it or not.
It cannot be said that Zhou Xu was wrongly blaming it. Recently, he has increasingly discovered that this little guy is the typical one who will not get up early unless there is benefit.
But on second thought, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong.
Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is the instinct of all living things. Not to mention that Qiansui is just an animal, even humans are no exception.
Under this premise, it is very simple and clear to do things that are beneficial and not do things that are not beneficial.
"Forget it, let's go to sleep."
After lighting the stove and raising the temperature in the house, I prepared to go to bed.
Lying on the bed, Zhou Xu let out a long breath.
He felt that this day was really too long. From the time he was attacked by the saber-toothed tiger in the middle of the night to now, only one day had passed.
Fortunately, no accidents happened that night, allowing Zhou Xu to sleep until dawn.
After waking up early in the morning and having breakfast, their village quickly became busy.
There are still too many things to do. Because Zhou Xu has consumed a lot of mantra power, he should focus on resting for now. The work in the village basically falls on Li Ce's head, leaving him completely busy.
As for Ye Jinghong and Zhou Chongshan.
Ye Jinghong followed his instructions and went to contact Drogo to ask them to move the Centaur tribe to the grassland village and station there first.
Zhou Chongshan was taken by another soldier to Black Moon Village to recuperate.
During this time, although Zhou Xu, who had just woken up, was mainly resting, he would definitely not be able to fall asleep if he continued to sleep at this moment.
So he brought the two of them to the frozen river.
"You guys, use rocks to break up the ice on the river."
According to the news that Ye Jinghong brought back earlier, if the conditions on their side are reached and the Centaurs come to their village to settle down, then at that time, they will definitely need to supply the other party with food.
Under this premise, food, which was already scarce in the village, undoubtedly became even more scarce.
Taking this into consideration, Zhou Xu would undoubtedly have to think of some way in advance to add some food supplements to the village.
The fish in the nearby river became his first choice.
After breaking up the frozen river surface, the villagers cast their fishing nets and he didn't have to worry about anything else.
Half a day passed quietly, and in the snowflakes drifting in the wind, Ye Jinghong, leading the Centaur tribe led by Drogo, appeared on the outskirts of their village.
After receiving the message from the sentinel, Zhou Xu rode his horse directly to the outside of the village to greet them in order to show his importance to the Centaurs.
"Drogo, welcome to our village."
Drogo actually had a rough idea of the location of the grassland village, but considering the relationship between the two sides and some common sense issues, he had always consciously avoided this area to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings between them.
This is the first time I've been so close.
At first glance, I was immediately shocked by the scale of the grassland village.
Obviously, in the context of this primitive era, the scale of the grassland village can only be described as incredible in the eyes of primitive people.
They couldn't imagine that the camp could be in such a state.
What Drogo didn't know at this time was that in terms of scale alone, the Grassland Village, which basically only existed as a military stronghold, could not compare with the Black Moon Village and the Desolate Mountain Village, which were seriously developing, and it was not even as good as the Salt Lake Village!
It is the least developed village among the villages under Zhou Xu.
