Chapter 213 Rare Skin
After scratching Qiansui's chin and calming him down, Zhou Xu's gaze returned to the three little guys.
Just like he said, these little wolf cubs' legs and feet are not yet in good working order, and they are a bit shaky when they move.
I don’t know if it’s because he was too young and his legs and feet were not fully developed, or if it was because the temperature was too low and he was frozen.
Or it could be malnutrition.
When he held the wolf cubs in his hands just now, he had clearly felt that these wolf cubs were basically in a state of being starved to the point of being skin and bones.
Come to think of it, at this season, even the adult wolves in the pack might not have enough to eat. These little ones are not even considered as fighting forces, so it would be strange if they could eat enough.
With the idea of making a comparison, Zhou Xu's eyes swept over the three little wolf cubs of different colors.
During this time, he quickly discovered that the eyes of the gray-haired and brown-haired wolf cubs were all yellow, except for the little white wolf, whose eyes were a very pure ice-blue.
In the world before he traveled through time, white wolves were not rare, and there were quite a few white wolves among Arctic wolves.
But the situation of this little white wolf is different, because it is obviously a prairie wolf.
Normally speaking, where do white wolves come from among the prairie wolves?
From Zhou Xu's perspective, using scientific explanation, this little white wolf should have an albino gene, and then some atavism phenomena occurred.
To some extent, it can be considered a 'rare skin'.
Of course, Zhou Xu is not particularly concerned about the rarity of this skin. In this era, the most important thing is combat effectiveness.
But judging from their previous battles with wolves, there is no need to have too high expectations.
In terms of combat power, it should be at the level of an ordinary wolf.
The reason why Ye Jinghong brought this litter of wolf cubs back to him was simple.
Because since Zhou Xu became the leader, he started raising rabbits, chickens, cattle and horses, and he also picked up the cubs from the bellies of wild beasts and raised them himself.
So Ye Jinghong was wondering whether their leader would also be interested in this little wolf cub, which is why this happened.
You know what, he was right!
Zhou Xu was indeed interested in this little wolf cub, but his interest was not in its fighting ability.
[The ancestor of dogs is the wolf, and they are the result of long-term domestication by humans. These six wolf cubs are still young. If they are domesticated from a young age, can they also achieve some results? ]
[Then let them reproduce in the tribe, and train them generation after generation, and sooner or later they will be domesticated into dogs.]
Compared to wild and unruly wolves, dogs still have many uses in human society, and various working dogs can be trained in the future.
Zhou Xu accidentally let his thoughts wander and quickly pulled himself back to his senses.
"Have the breeder build them a nest with straw, and make sure it's windproof and warm. Let them take care of these six wolf cubs first, just like Qiansui, and feed them with meat."
Although their village was not well-off in terms of food at the moment, how much could these six wolf cubs eat in one meal? He could still afford to feed them at this level.
"yes."
With a response, the soldier retreated with the six wolf cubs.
The sky gradually darkened, and amid the falling snowflakes, Zhuo Ge and Ye Jinghong returned.
Needless to say, in the past half day, they did not find anything else except the litter of wolf cubs.
This really made Zhou Xu feel a little melancholy.
Originally, he thought that with Drogo and the others around, they would be able to easily find the saber-toothed tiger and then kill it quickly.
Now it seems that he was just dreaming.
On the other hand, Drogo was much calmer.
"Drogo, you seem to be prepared for this?"
“I guess so.”
Drogo admitted graciously.
"Compared to ordinary beasts, these extraordinary creatures are more powerful and often smarter. Take footprints for example. Ordinary beasts will definitely leave footprints when walking in the snow, but these extraordinary creatures know how to hide their footprints..."
"Wait a minute, did you just say extraordinary creatures?"
At this moment, Drogo was telling Zhou Xu about the intelligence of extraordinary creatures, but Zhou Xu's focus was obviously not on this matter.
Faced with Zhou Xu's question, Zhuogo paused. He didn't understand what Zhou Xu meant, and finally could only nod.
"Yes, I did."
"Can you tell me what this extraordinary creature is?"
“…”
Zhou Xu's request made Drogo's expression look strange, as if to say, "You don't even know what a supernatural creature is?"
But on second thought, they didn't seem to have much communication with other tribes before, so they really didn't know what the other side was like.
I wanted to explain, but when I opened my mouth, I found that I didn't know what to say.
The existence of extraordinary creatures is more like common sense to them. How do you want them to explain such a thing?
In the end, he could only utter one sentence.
"In short, extraordinary creatures are a kind of existence that is obviously different from ordinary beasts. They are stronger and smarter."
“…”
At this moment, that subtle expression fell on Zhou Xu's face, as if asking him, "That's it? That's all?"
In response to this situation, Drogo held it in for a long time before finally uttering a sentence.
"Also, the corpses of extraordinary creatures are even more valuable. Take the saber-toothed tiger we are looking for now, for example. Its two sharp teeth can definitely be made into powerful weapons. At the same time, the most important thing is definitely the 'essence and blood' in its heart."
"!!!"
At this moment, Zhou Xu finally heard what he wanted to hear.
"Essence and blood?"
"Um."
Drogo nodded.
"Essence and blood will condense in the heart of a supernatural creature. According to the saying passed down in our clan, that essence and blood is condensed from the supernatural power of the supernatural creature. The supernatural creature transmits the power contained in the essence and blood to various parts of the body through the beating of the heart."
At this moment, Zhou Xu understood a little.
[To put it simply, the heart of the extraordinary creature is like an engine, and the blood essence is the fuel. ]
"How do we use the blood essence?"
“Just eat it.”
“…”
"After you consume the blood essence, you will feel unbearable pain. That is the power in the blood essence tempering your body. After you endure it, your body will become stronger."
At this point, Drogo paused.
"Besides that, there is another saying that after eating the essence and blood, it is possible to gain some of the abilities of that extraordinary creature, but I don't know whether this is true or not."
"So it is confirmed to be true that eating essence and blood can temper the body and increase physical strength?"
"Of course it's true. I ate it once."
“…”
