Chapter 220:
As if in another world Even though Zhou Xu hoped that Drogo and his men would stay and serve as his thugs, Drogo had clearly made up his mind to leave. If he tried to keep them at this point, it would not only be a loss of face for his side, but it would also easily destroy the friendship that they had already established.
After leaving the village, Zhou Xu rode his horse and accompanied them for about one or two kilometers.
"That's it."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu reached out and took off the quiver hanging on the side of his saddle and handed it to Drogo.
"A parting gift, please accept it."
Looking at the tube of arrows that Zhou Xu handed over, Drogo couldn't help but show a trace of surprise on his face.
Obviously, this was not included in the deal they had agreed upon before, which made Drogo subconsciously want to refuse. However, after looking into Zhou Xu's eyes full of sincerity, he swallowed back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.
"Thank you."
After taking the arrow handed over by Zhou Xu, from that moment on, the friendship between them had a little more affection than the pure transaction at the beginning.
After watching them all the way, Zhou Xu was about to go back when Drogo and the others had completely disappeared from his sight.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the light snow that had been drifting in the sky stopped at some point, and a ray of golden sunlight sprinkled through the gap in the clouds, falling on Zhou Xu’s body, while also illuminating the white snow, so dazzling...
At this moment, Zhou Xu couldn't help but look up at the sky, as if he was in another world.
After a chuckle, he pulled the reins in his hand.
"Let's go, let's go back!"
The day was finally clear, and the village was bathed in sunshine that had not been seen for a long time. Everyone felt as if they had come alive, and the whole village felt more lively.
After returning to the village, Zhou Xu first solved his breakfast problem, and then went to the cafeteria to check the situation.
In the morning, in order to cook, the kitchen simply dealt with the surrounding ruins to make room for their work.
The subsequent reconstruction work is still troublesome.
At this moment, looking at the ruins of the kitchen, Zhou Xu still found it a little unbelievable.
Although the walls they used to build the house were not bricks or stones, they were definitely strong. No one had expected that the saber-toothed tiger could actually smash the wall with one claw, and even broke the frame of the house and the load-bearing columns buried in the ground.
With this kind of power, basically whoever he hits will die. If he hadn't happened to catch the Centaurs to use as thugs and let them fight on their own, I'm afraid they would have to pay a heavy price.
"Oh my goodness, we need to call a construction team to dig up the foundation and rebuild it."
Before winter, in order to get through the winter safely, he led his construction team to work hard to build a house, thinking that with the house to shelter from the wind and snow, there would be no major problems this winter.
As a result, before the winter was even halfway through, nearly half of the houses in the grassland village had collapsed.
If it continues at this pace, won't it all collapse after the winter?
At this moment, Zhou Xu was really feeling melancholy.
However, when he thought that the saber-toothed tiger's body was buried in the snow pile nearby, waiting to be dissected, he felt a little better.
Quickly call people over and get ready to run over and start working.
He had been looking forward to seeing the corpse of this extraordinary creature for a long time, but he was too tired last night, so he had to wait until now.
As a result, as soon as I got there, I found that the little thing Chitose was sitting on the snow pile next to him and licking his paws, and his eyes occasionally glanced at the snow pile where the saber-toothed tiger's corpse was buried.
It can be said that Zhou Xu saw this scene clearly.
This reminded him of the time when they dissected the wolf king's body. At that time, the little Qiansui had already curled up in the quilt, which formed a sharp contrast with the situation in front of him.
As early as that time, Zhou Xu suspected that this little thing knew from the beginning that there was nothing good in the wolf king's body, so it was too lazy to move.
And now, before he arrived yet, Qiansui had already arrived. This made him even more convinced that the saber-toothed tiger was most likely filled with essence and blood.
The reason why he thought so was because before, he had taken the opportunity to have a good chat with Drogo about the topic of "supernatural creatures".
One of the questions he asked was, "Does every 'supernatural creature' have essence and blood?"
Drogo’s answer was not necessarily.
Because there is a stage where the goal has already surpassed the level of ordinary beasts, but has not yet condensed its essence and blood to become an extraordinary creature.
If these special creatures continue to grow, there is a chance that they will become extraordinary creatures, but there is also a possibility that they will remain at this level for their entire lives.
When Zhou Xu heard these words, he immediately thought of the spider monster he had hunted.
In fact, he had been thinking about this question as early as when he discovered the first drop of essence and blood.
However, the spider monster was basically eaten by them at that time, and its intelligence and strength were relatively limited. During the dissection process, no essence or blood was found.
It should be the special creature that Drogo mentioned, stuck in the middle.
"What evil ideas are you planning again, little thing?"
While signaling his subordinates to dig out the saber-toothed tiger's body, Zhou Xu walked up to Qiansui and rubbed its head.
“Ah~”
Qiansui took the opportunity to rub his palm.
Looking at Qiansui who was acting like a spoiled child, Zhou Xu fell into deep thought.
[This fellow Qiansui is clearly eyeing the blood essence of the saber-toothed tiger. Should we give it the blood essence? ]
Zhou Xu already had a rough idea of the value of the essence and blood. If he gave it to Zhou Chongshan, he might be able to obtain a powerful general with three stars of bravery.
But if you think about it from another angle, giving it to Qiansui might also be an option.
Qiansui's mother is a supernatural being. As the offspring of a supernatural being, Qiansui was destined to have a higher starting point than ordinary beasts from the moment he was born.
Not to mention that it swallowed its mother's essence and blood just after it was born, and now it has demonstrated some extraordinary abilities.
If it were to swallow the blood of the saber-toothed tiger, it would surely become even more powerful when it grows up to be a thousand years old.
So the question before him now is who to cultivate with this drop of essence and blood?
Is it Qiansui or Zhou Chongshan?
Just as Zhou Xu was struggling with this, his subordinates had already dug out the saber-toothed tiger.
Before they began to dissect the body, they couldn't help rubbing their eyes, then looked up at the sun in the sky, then looked down at the body lying in the snow, and after several confirmations, they uttered a slightly high-pitched voice.
"The saber-tooth tiger's body is glowing!"
“…”
