Chapter 244: Face the Reality
The battle with the Barbarian Stone Tribe happened earlier than they expected.
Normally, they should have been caught off guard by this situation.
However, due to the personal involvement of their leader, the aggressive Barbarian Stone Tribe was defeated in a short period of time.
After receiving the order from their leader, Shi Lei quickly took on the task and mobilized people to capture prisoners.
The scene is chaotic right now, with those guys from the Manshi tribe all fleeing madly. All Shi Lei can do now is to capture as many as he can.
When Zhou Xu and Zhou Chongshan returned, outside the Red Stone Tribe camp, those from the Barbarian Stone Tribe had already been captured or escaped, and the rest were dealing with the corpses on the battlefield.
At this moment, the captured prisoners had been tied up and temporarily placed outside the camp. They looked at him as if they were looking at some horrible monster.
These people will probably never forget the scene of Zhou Xu driving two skeleton monsters to slaughter crazily on the battlefield.
This will become their lingering nightmare in countless late nights to come.
On the other hand, the subordinates headed by Shi Lei looked at him with nothing but admiration! Until now, they still clearly remembered what their leader said before the large army set out, "If the sky falls, I will hold it up for you!"
Now their leader has proved with practical actions that this is definitely not just a casual remark.
According to Zhou Xu's current strength, when he can bring along Da Gu and Er Gu, as well as his entire skeleton army, he will fight even if there is a team of a hundred people in front of him.
The most troublesome problem now is that it is really inconvenient to carry the big bones and two bones.
Especially in such mountainous areas where transportation is inconvenient.
As for asking him to use the power of mantra to move Big Bone and Two Bone, he would have already lost half of his strength before the battle even started.
"Shi Lei!"
"exist!"
Hearing Zhou Xu's call, Shi Lei, who had just arranged the work at hand, hurried over.
"Leave some people to watch over the prisoners, and the rest of you follow me. We must seize the camp of the Barbarian Stone Tribe before dark!"
They already knew the direction, and when Shi Lei gathered his men, their large force quickly reached the outside of the Manshi tribe's camp.
"This is the Barbarian Stone Tribe! Get out of here if you know what's best for you! Otherwise, when our leader comes back, you will all die!"
At this moment, the remaining personnel, who were obviously unaware that their main force had been defeated, stood outside the camp with weapons in hand and shouted.
Since some people were left behind to watch over the prisoners and handle some post-war work, the thirty people led by the rattan armor soldiers came to incorporate the camp at this time.
Although this number is still greater than the number of people left behind by the Manshi Tribe, as the local tyrants of this area, the Manshi Tribe has always been arrogant and naturally would not take the thirty people seriously.
Hearing this, Zhou Xu didn't waste any words. He waved his hand, and with a "bang", two soldiers immediately threw a tied-up figure to the ground in front of them.
"Is he the leader you are talking about?"
"!!"
When the tribe members who were still shouting just a moment ago saw the figure falling to the ground, their hearts skipped a beat.
No one had expected that their invincible leader would appear before them in this way.
In an instant, the eyes of the tribe members on the opposite side looking at Zhou Xu were filled with unspeakable fear.
"Put down your weapons, surrender and you will not be killed! If you resist, you will die!!"
With a loud shout, Zhou Xu waved his hand to signal the large troops to move forward.
The capture of their leader Manshi was a devastating blow to the members of the Manshi tribe. It instantly destroyed all their will to resist and allowed the large army led by Zhou Xu to easily move into the camp.
During this time, the soldiers' rude throw undoubtedly woke Manshi up.
But his head was dizzy at the moment, and when he regained consciousness, he had already been taken to the camp.
At this moment, he was kneeling in front of Zhou Xu, tied up with ropes and a sword was placed on his neck. The cold blade was directly against the skin of his neck, making him clearly aware that if he moved even the slightest, the blade would directly cut his neck.
"Are you awake? Are you familiar with this place?"
As soon as he woke up, Manshi had already glanced at his surroundings out of the corner of his eye. After hearing these words, his heart skipped a beat.
How could he not recognize his own camp? The scene before him undoubtedly told him that his camp was finished. At this moment, the anger on Manshi's face could not be concealed at all.
Seeing Manshi like this, Zhou Xu said lightly...
"Don't get excited, I just want you to understand your current situation."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu's expression became slightly more serious.
"There are only two paths before you now. One is to hand over the truth and submit to me. Since you have contributed the truth, I can exempt you from hard labor and send you directly to serve in the army."
"As for the other way, you should be able to guess it, that is death."
After briefly explaining the two paths left for Manshi, Zhou Xu spread his hands.
"Choose."
“…”
In this era, after defeating the enemy tribe, you either kill or capture the people on the opposite side. Manshi is no stranger to this process.
After all, their Barbarian Stone Tribe didn't have so many people at the beginning.
"I, I choose to kill you!!!"
At that moment, Manshi, who was kneeling below, suddenly stood up, kicked the ground with his feet, and pounced towards Zhou Xu.
At the same time, mantra characters came out of his mouth one after another. It seemed that he wanted to launch a mantra attack in a desperate fight.
Seeing this, the soldiers on both sides hurriedly pulled the ropes in their hands with all their strength.
Instantly, the noose around Manshi's neck tightened suddenly, dragging him down and making his face purple-red. He could no longer utter a single word! During this time, Zhou Xu, who was sitting not far away, did not seem surprised by Manshi's behavior. He just sat there calmly without moving.
It was not until Manshi collapsed to the ground due to the tightening noose that he slowly stood up and walked over at a leisurely pace.
“What a pity.”
As Zhou Xu spoke, he signaled the soldiers to loosen the noose.
Manshi, who was about to be strangled to death, quickly took a breath of fresh air. Just when he thought the other party wanted to say something to him.
The next moment, Manshi only felt a flash of cold light before his eyes. Zhou Xu walked forward, drew the sword from his waist, and stabbed it into his heart!
“What a pity.”
