Chapter 365 Thorough Verification
While Zhou Xu was sorting out his thoughts, Silk and the others had basically finished their work.
During this period, the Centaurs who had received the guard mission from Zhou Xu were certainly not idle. While patrolling and guarding, they discovered a pack of wolves following them like followers.
Drogo knew very well what these hungry wolves were thinking.
Wolves are smart animals. They know how to work in packs and weigh the pros and cons.
Generally speaking, wolves will not fight a battle they are not sure of winning, unless they are extremely hungry.
This is probably the situation of this wolf pack.
The other side knew that they were not easy to deal with and were very dangerous, but they were too hungry and were unwilling to let them go.
So I just followed from a distance and saw if I could find any opportunity.
In the past, according to Drogo's temperament, he would definitely rush up to give them a good beating, and at the same time collect some leather and meat.
Although wolf meat is not tasty, it is a hard time for everyone in this winter, so who has the energy to be picky? But now the situation is different. Since he followed Zhou Xu, he has no worries about food and drink. Looking at this group of hungry wolves, he really has no intention of eating.
“How annoying.”
After glaring at the hungry wolf in the distance, Drogo felt a little annoyed.
The hungry wolf was just here to explore the way; the main force was still behind.
If the wolves finally decide to take action, the opposing large force will begin to detour and prepare to surround them.
Although wolves are not a threat to them now, it would still be a problem if they were surrounded by them. Drogo obviously did not intend to give the choice to the other side.
"You, go report the situation here to the leader."
He casually pointed at a tribesman and asked him to go and report.
When Zhou Xu heard the report, he looked a little surprised. He didn't expect the wolves to be so persistent.
The distance from the place where they first encountered the wolves to here is quite far, and it takes a long time to ride on horseback. The wolves actually followed their footprints.
"Having reached this point, there is a high probability that we will have to take action."
Zhou Xu turned and looked at the followers beside him.
"Pass the order down and tell Li Ce and Zhuo Ge to strike first."
"yes!"
After giving this order, he no longer cared about the situation over there.
With their current strength, wouldn't it be easy to kill a pack of wolves? After the order was issued, within a short while, there was movement outside.
The war horses galloped wildly and the hungry wolves howled angrily. It all ended so quickly that even their return journey was not delayed. It could not even be called a battle, but only a hunt.
They are the hunters and the wolves are the prey!
Take all the corpses of the hungry wolves with you, and after processing them, you can use them as skeleton wolves. They are much more flexible and quicker in action than other skeleton units, and can greatly enrich the use of tactics.
Later, on the way back to the grassland village, Silk rode his horse closer after hesitating for a long time.
"leader."
"What's up?"
Zhou Xu glanced at him and could clearly see that something was wrong.
Seeing this, Silk didn't hesitate and asked him directly...
"Chief, I want to know if there is a suitable place for burial near the village, or how you deal with the bodies after the death of your tribesmen?"
Apparently, Silk was worried about the question of "how to deal with the bodies of the tribe members?"
He originally wanted to transport the bodies of his tribesmen to the grassland village and then find a place to bury them.
But after witnessing with his own eyes the wild beasts on the grassland digging up the soil and gnawing on the corpses of his tribesmen, he was undoubtedly shaken and began to become undecided.
Faced with this question, Zhou Xu gave a very straightforward answer.
"We usually choose cremation here."
"cremation?"
"Just burn the body."
Silk was obviously surprised to get this answer.
Zhou Xu was explaining things to him slowly and leisurely.
"You can see that if a corpse is buried in the ground, it will be dug up and eaten by wild animals."
"Even if we avoid the problem of wild animals eating the corpses, there is still a risk of disease and soil contamination during the decomposition process."
"Overall, cremation is the safest and most reasonable way to deal with the problem."
Silk didn't say a word during the rest of the journey, as if he was still struggling with the cremation issue.
The decision was not made until we were almost at the village.
"Chief, I have made up my mind. I plan to be cremated. I hope you can help us arrange it."
"Okay, after we return to the village, I'll let Ye Jinghong make arrangements for you."
"Thank you, Chief."
The journey back to the village was relatively safe.
After returning to the grassland village, Zhou Xu directly asked Ye Jinghong to help Silk and the others with the cremation, while he himself plunged into the office.
While his mind is still active, he plans to start follow-up research as soon as possible.
Now, it is easy for him to enter a meditative state, and he can easily find the new mantra sample in his sea of consciousness.
Compared with the 'Basic Weapon Blessing', this ball of light is much larger.
With Zhou Xu's deep perception, the information about the ball of light quickly emerged in his mind.
The name of this ball of light is very straightforward, it is called "Grassland Elf".
This also completely confirmed all of Zhou Xu's previous speculations!
Zhou Xu had always felt strange. The grassland elves clearly didn't have mantras, so why could they use methods similar to mantras? It was as if they were born with it.
At the beginning, Zhou Xu thought that the grassland elves were an alien race from other worlds. The systems of other worlds might be different from the one he lived in, so they could not be generalized.
But later, when he discovered the sample of the mantra combination on the silver steel sword, Zhou Xu sorted out a lot of clues.
He discovered that the elves possessed a method similar to 'endowment'.
This made Zhou Xu boldly speculate that the extraordinary abilities that seemed to be innate to the grassland elves might be the mantras bestowed upon them?
But according to his understanding, no one in the grassland elves' village had the ability to bestow the truth on others.
After all, if there really was a grassland elf with such strong power of truth, the elven village would not have been destroyed when the large army of lizardmen invaded.
Obviously, the matter of the grassland elves cannot be considered using conventional thinking.
After seeing the previous Mantra Group, Zhou Xu felt that his thinking could become more unconventional.
For example, there is a program that will be triggered whenever a spirit is born, and the corresponding "mantra" will be bestowed on the newborn spirit by default.
Now, isn't it much more logical? As for who did this?
Is he the god of the elves? ...
