Chapter 363: The Savior Appears
Silk always thought that his savior was a person.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an extraordinary creature! The first time he met it, he was stunned.
He had never faced such a situation before, and at this moment, he really didn't know what to do.
At this time, Zhou Xu's voice sounded again...
"Come to think of it, I heard Jinghong say that when you fell in the snowstorm, it was Qiansui who picked you up?"
Hearing this, Silk couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Thinking about it now, he was somewhat courting death at that time. If Qiansui had not passed by, he would have probably died in that blizzard.
"Thank you, Master Qiansui, for saving my life during the snowstorm!"
Thinking of this, Silk looked at Chitose and couldn't help but feel a strong sense of gratitude in his heart. Then he expressed his gratitude to Chitose with a solemn face.
When Qiansui saw this, he showed a very human expression of "you're smart, kid", and then ran to Zhou Xu's side carelessly.
Zhou Xu smiled and touched Qiansui's head.
"I'll leave it to you to guard the village this time."
“Ouch~”
“…”
In Silk's impression, extraordinary creatures are powerful and ferocious, but also possess extremely high intelligence, and therefore are very dangerous.
However, at this moment, Qiansui's performance made it difficult for him to combine it with these words.
Fortunately, Zhou Xu didn't say much. After briefly instructing Qiansui, he got on the horse directly.
"Set off!"
Hearing this, Silk immediately put the matter behind him and hurriedly mounted his horse to catch up.
Before leaving yesterday, he mentioned something to Zhou Xu.
That is, he hopes to retrieve the bodies of his people and bury them properly.
After hearing this, Zhou Xu agreed without thinking.
Because he had originally planned to make this trip, but his main purpose was not to collect the bodies of those grassland elves, but to "check for omissions and fill in the gaps."
Under this premise, since it was convenient for him to do so, he had no reason not to agree to Silk's request.
Not only did he agree, he even wanted to bring all the grassland elves to help dig up the corpse.
Invisibly, while making them more aware of the reality, this move can also help them win over the hearts of the people and improve their favorability among the grassland elves.
With a clear purpose, the troops led by Zhou Xu moved quickly on the grassland.
During this period, two Centaur soldiers were responsible for exploring the way ahead, and now one of them ran back.
"Chief, we found a lot of footprints ahead. It looks like there must be a pack of wolves nearby."
After the snowstorm, many animals came out to look for food, which is completely normal in the grassland winter.
In the past, if he encountered a large wolf pack, Zhou Xu might have preferred to avoid it to avoid trouble, but now...
"Never mind, just keep going!"
You know, for this operation, he directly pulled out all their cavalry, including the centaurs and grassland elves led by Drogo and Silk.
With these forces gathered together, apart from the Lizardmen who had invaded from other worlds before, no one on this grassland could cause them any trouble.
During this process, a pack of wolves searching for food nearby unsurprisingly discovered their presence.
But the result was not beyond Zhou Xu's expectations at all.
Given their size, the wolves didn't dare to get close to them and could only observe them from a distance.
Zhou Xu didn't have the time to pay attention to them, so he let the entire team maintain their mobility efficiency and soon arrived at the elf village that had turned into ruins.
When they were still on the outskirts, they saw that the land near their elven village had been dug up, and a wild beast was gnawing on the corpses of their people.
Led by Silk, the grassland elves who saw this scene instantly had red eyes.
“Get lost!!!”
With an angry shout, Silk suddenly rushed forward on his horse, quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow at the beast.
The beast that was attacked failed to hit the vital points and let out an angry growl. However, when it saw their large army, it immediately became cowardly and fled away with its tail between its legs.
At this time, Silk was only interested in quickly confirming the bodies of his tribesmen and had no mood to give chase.
Riding his horse at full speed, Silk arrived at the front at the fastest speed and saw a terrible scene.
He arrived too late. Many corpses had already been dug out and eaten by wild beasts.
The grassland elves who arrived later, after seeing this scene, many of them even burst into tears on the spot.
After all, those buried under the ruins are their relatives and friends.
In a village with such a small population, how could everyone not know each other?
Compared to the tribesmen whose emotions continued to be out of control, Silk took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.
To be honest, he had anticipated this situation, but his mind was still clear, so at that time he chose to prioritize the survival of his tribesmen.
Although it may sound a bit cruel to say this, the dead are dead after all, and there is no point in doing anything. The living members of the tribe are the future of their tribe.
Not to mention that when he found them, he had actually buried all the bodies of his tribesmen.
But if wild beasts wanted to dig, they would dig out wherever he was buried. Unless someone was assigned to guard it around the clock, he would not be able to escape this disaster anyway.
So before coming, he had actually made this mental preparation.
However, even so, when Silk saw the wild beasts digging up and gnawing on the corpses of his people, he still lost his mind for a moment.
Silk took a few deep breaths and adjusted his mood. He did not urge those tribesmen who were out of control, but let them lie on the ground and cry.
He took a shovel from the ox cart and walked towards the place where he had buried the bodies before, intending to dig out all the bodies and take them away.
After the other grassland elves calmed down a little, they watched Silk's actions and silently joined the ranks without him saying anything.
"Drogo, be alert and watch your surroundings."
After making this simple arrangement, Zhou Xu directly activated the "Eye of Insight" and roughly scanned the elf village, and finally his eyes fell on the corpses of those grassland elves.
At that moment, Zhou Xu's heartbeat accelerated, as he had obviously discovered something. He took two steps forward, squatted down, and gently touched the body of the grassland elf in front of him.
