Chapter 245 Find out
Manshi is the local emperor of this area. Maybe 99% of the people in the Manshi tribe cannot have enough food to eat every day, but Manshi himself certainly can.
You can tell this by looking at his size.
After solving the most basic problem of food and clothing, people are likely to develop some additional spiritual needs, such as dignity.
But once a person has dignity, it is not so easy to bend the knees.
You might even risk your life for it.
Zhou Xu didn't dislike people with backbone, but what Manshi had was more than just dignity and backbone. What he had was actually his inability to let go of himself and his status, and his obsession with his own power.
He could see that Manshi was indeed a talented person. If he could be tamed, he would at least be a three-star player.
But the other party's temperament is a trouble for him, and may even bring some instability to his internal affairs, which he does not want to see.
Talent is hard to find, but if this talent is obsessed with treason, then there is no point in trying.
Drawing out his sword, Zhou Xu shook off the blood on the blade. After confirming that Manshi was dead, he spread out his palm and reached out to Manshi's body.
This time, the power of the mantra in Manshi's body was smoothly transformed into a stream of energy, which flowed into Zhou Xu's body through his palm.
[System prompt: Congratulations to 'Zhou Xu' for obtaining the mantra 'Flying Stone Attack']
It was the first time for him to obtain the mantra with direct attack capability, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
As for the effect of this "flying stone attack", he had fully experienced it on Manshi in the previous battle, and he had a basic idea of its capabilities.
Later he also planned to make various attempts combining the mantras he had already mastered, but before that, he had to recover his strength first.
Although the battle ended quickly, the consumption of manipulating the big bone and the second bone was still relatively high.
At the same time, the most important thing for him right now is not to test the mantra combination, but to search for talents with the "Eye of Insight".
"Chief, all the prisoners this time have been gathered together."
Just as Zhou Xu was thinking this, Shi Lei had already run over to report the situation.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
After saying that, Zhou Xu lowered his head to glance at Manshi’s body on the ground.
"Cut off his head and hang it on a pole outside the camp. Let it hang for two days, then send the head back to the village along with the news of victory."
"yes!"
This is probably the easiest way to intimidate prisoners.
The weather is still cold now, so the head won't rot even if it hangs for a while.
The soldier who received the order acted quickly. He chopped off Manshi's head in front of Zhou Xu, and then walked out carrying the bloody head.
At that time, the captives of the Barbarian Stone Tribe were outside. A soldier came out with his head held up. They couldn't help but notice it.
When they saw clearly whose head it belonged to, the captives outside felt a chill all over their bodies.
Although the lives of the other party were no longer in their own hands from the moment their leader was captured, they still couldn't help feeling terrified when their leader's head was carried out.
At the same time, Zhou Xu's appearance made them even more terrified.
"Behave yourself. If you're lucky, some of you might not have to be slaves anymore."
Regardless of whether what the soldier said was true or false, they didn't dare to move now.
Zhou Xu didn't care about that. He walked forward, opened his "Eye of Insight", and started his work.
After you finish looking at one, let someone take one away.
After looking around, Zhou Xu couldn't help but sigh in melancholy. Wow, the entire legion is two-star.
The reason why the Manshi tribe can become the local tyrants in this mountain range is entirely due to the individual combat power of the Manshi.
But think about it, in this era, a strong individual combat power is enough to determine the outcome of a battle.
Not to mention that Manshi's flying stone attack is quite powerful. To put it in a rounded form, it is like a mobile rock cannon.
With that destructive power, if Da Gu and Er Gu hadn't directly destroyed the battle situation, if the two sides had fought seriously, even if they could win in the end, they would probably have to suffer quite painful losses.
Of course, if you think about it from another angle, they didn't suffer any losses in this wave of troops. Under this premise, they were able to capture this "rock cannon", which was already a huge profit.
Not to mention that he also recruited so many prisoners and a three-star talent.
Zhou Xu, who had just finished the battle, calmed down and used the "Eye of Insight" to look at the panels of forty or fifty prisoners one after another. He was really tired at this moment, and the fatigue on his face was almost to the point where he could not hide it at all.
Fortunately, Shi Lei was here at the moment, so he didn't have to worry about other things. After looking at the panel, it was getting late, so Zhou Xu just leaned aside and closed his eyes to rest.
After dinner, Shi Lei came again to report the casualties.
"Chief, the people of the Barbarian Stone Tribe were fleeing frantically, and the scene was in chaos. Seven of us were accidentally injured while trying to capture the prisoners, but none of them were seriously injured..."
Just as Zhou Xu was listening to the report, a soldier ran over.
"Chief, we found this when we were searching the Barbarian Stone tent."
While speaking, the soldier presented a package of animal skins to Zhou Xu.
After opening the package, he saw a fist-sized piece of gravel lying there quietly. One side of the gravel was flat, and there seemed to be a character engraved on it. Above that character, there was a finger-sized ball of light condensing, quietly emitting a faint light, which made Zhou Xu's heart beat faster.
Needless to say, this is a true character.
Zhou Xu really didn't expect that this wave would bring such an unexpected gain.
[The Manshi hid the mantra characters but did not absorb them directly. It should be because they were not compatible with the mantra characters and could not be absorbed.]
As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu stretched out his hand towards the ball of light.
The next second, the mantra characters seemed to have received some kind of summons, and suddenly turned into a ray of energy and poured into Zhou Xu's palm.
【System prompt: Congratulations to 'Zhou Xu' for obtaining the mantra 'Yu'. 】
Along with the system reminder, the stones that lost their power instantly weathered and turned into dust.
Zhou Xu, who had successfully obtained another mantra character, seemed to be in a very good mood.
Zhou Xu slept well all night without saying a word. Just as he opened his eyes, Shi Lei brought him another good news.
"Chief, the 'Old God Altar' has been found."
When Zhou Xu heard the news, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Okay! After we finish breakfast, we'll go check it out!"
