Chapter 288: The Lord of the Great Zhou
"Our clan leader only allows each of you to send one representative to enter."
Compared to this small transaction, business is undoubtedly more important. Looking at the humans and centaurs standing outside, Silk returned to his original cold look.
Hearing this, Li Ce frowned.
Obviously, this was too risky for Li Ce. They didn't know anything about this group of "long ears". Even if they went in together, they would have to bear a lot of risks. Letting one person in? If the other party turned hostile, wouldn't that mean they were doomed?
[No, we can't let the leader take risks! ]
"leader……"
Thinking of this, Li Ce's first reaction was to go in instead of the leader.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xu, who had already guessed his thoughts, just waved his hand as soon as he opened his mouth.
"There are many matters related to cooperation here. If you take me in, it will be difficult to discuss it clearly. It is better for me to go in myself."
Having said that, Zhou Xu lowered his voice and gave Li Ce a warning.
"You remain alert outside and are ready to take action at any time."
After saying that, Zhou Xu looked at the worried-looking Li Ce, thought for a moment, then called him over and whispered to him.
"yes!"
After listening, Li Ce immediately nodded vigorously.
"I understand."
After giving all the instructions that needed to be given, Zhou Xu exchanged glances with Drogo, then turned to look at Silk.
"Lead the way!"
After hearing this, Silk didn't waste any words. He pulled the reins and took Zhou Xu and Drogo directly towards their camp.
The others continued to stay at the border, keeping an eye on Li Ce and the Centaurs.
The distance from the border to the other party’s camp is not too far, otherwise daily patrol work would not be possible.
With mounts to travel with, they arrived quickly.
Looking at the enemy's camp, Drogo remained expressionless the whole time.
For Zhuo Ge, he had even seen Zhou Xu's grassland village, so what was a normal camp in his eyes? Zhou Xu was different. He almost habitually observed and analyzed the other side's camp.
The other party's camp was built next to a hill. When it was windy and snowy, this hill became a natural shelter for them.
Under this premise, the construction work within the camp was better than those primitive tribes Zhou Xu had seen.
You know, those primitive tribes are still living in tents, but here they have built buildings similar to thatched houses.
At least that's what it looks like from the outside.
This made Zhou Xu ponder a question in his mind, which was...
[After winter comes, if a snowstorm blows up, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive it just by relying on the shelter of the hill, right? ]
Zhou Xu's doubt was answered after they arrived outside the camp.
[So that's how it is. They dug up the hills so that when they encounter extreme weather, they can hide directly in the caves.]
It’s not that Zhou Xu couldn’t think of this, but these days, under the premise of having to face survival issues every day, it is not easy to dig a cave of sufficient size. Even for Zhou Xu and his team who have developed to the current scale, it is a big project.
"We'll have to walk next."
Silk obviously had no intention of letting them ride all the way into the camp.
He had come here alone, so naturally he didn't care about this.
As for Drogo, the request made no difference to him.
In the camp, the thatched houses were located very randomly. It was obvious that no serious planning was done when they were built. They were basically just piled up here and there.
[Strange. Judging from the number of thatched houses, this camp has at least a hundred people, but why can't I see any fields nearby? And no livestock either?]
[With this scale, it's impossible to survive just by hunting and gathering, right? ]
Zhou Xu, who was observing the camp, was full of doubts.
Perhaps taking Drogo's size into consideration, Silk led them all the way to a thatched hut in the camp.
Even from a distance, Zhou Xu had already noticed the two figures sitting there.
This made him sigh that the genes of these people with long ears were indeed powerful. Even an old man with gray hair could still be a handsome old man.
During this time, Silk, who was leading the way, did not have so many thoughts. He walked forward and saluted respectfully towards the two figures.
"Chief, elders! I brought them here."
"Thank you for your hard work, Silk. Go to the side and have a rest first."
"yes!"
With a response, Silk obediently stepped aside to rest.
Then the middle-aged clan leader's eyes naturally fell on them. After a quick look, the clan leader raised his hand.
"Please take a seat."
In response to this, Zhou Xu simply walked into the thatched hut, pulled out a stool and sat down.
When the patriarch saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Zhou Xu was also surprised at this time. Although they were just simple tables and stools, this undoubtedly meant that the other party had mastered certain craftsmanship techniques. This alone was something that ordinary primitive tribes could not compare to.
At the same time, the clothes on the other person are also unusual.
Silk and his companions were wearing linen clothes and were already walking ahead of them, but he now discovered that the patriarch and the elders were wearing clothes that seemed to be made of "silk fabric"!
[Is it silk? Have they started using silk to make clothes? ]
This made Zhou Xu have more thoughts in his mind.
At the end, I couldn't help but try...
"The King of Heaven and the Tiger of Earth?"
“…”
Zhou Xu said this while glancing at Silk beside him and found that he had a confused look on his face.
Zhou Xu, who had no intention of stopping, spoke again...
"Madfake Baga Yaluasiba!"
“…”
At this moment, Zhou Xu clearly discovered that the expressions of the long-eared people in front of him changed, and they obviously began to doubt whether he had a mental illness.
“Ahem!”
Under this kind of gaze, Zhou Xu coughed twice with a little embarrassment.
"Don't worry about it, let's talk business."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu's expression straightened and he immediately became serious.
In response, the clan leader and elders on the other side did not say much, and spoke calmly...
"Before that, let me introduce myself first. You can call us the grassland elves. I am the chieftain Slavin, and this is Elder Clan."
After hearing this, Drogo stated his identity without hesitation.
"Drogo, leader of the Centaur tribe."
After he finished speaking, everyone's attention turned to Zhou Xu.
Zhou Xu was about to speak, but he was in trouble.
Saying that he is the leader of mankind? This is obviously not appropriate, and he cannot represent all mankind.
As for the tribe...
He now has five villages under his command, each with its own name, and his own power does not yet have a unified name. At the same time, he had not paid much attention to this issue before, and had never encountered similar things. This caught him off guard.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Xu slowly spoke...
"Human Zhou Xu, the Lord of the Great Zhou!"
