Chapter 51: Defensive Facilities
It was getting close to evening, and the exploration team led by Ye Jinghong, who had set out early in the morning, successfully returned to the Black Moon Camp before dark.
The exploration teams of this era were restricted by various conditions and basically could not go far.
Plus, the going back and forth takes time, so in a day, you can’t actually explore much of the area.
However, Zhou Xu was still satisfied with Ye Jinghong's efficiency. According to the latest report, they had explored almost one-third of the area outside their camp today.
After that, in two days at most, we will be able to complete the exploration of the remaining areas and then advance further outward.
In this era, this efficiency is definitely considered fast.
After dinner, Zhou Xu began to use the mantra as usual, pulling up the skeleton soldiers and trying various possibilities.
By the way, through this appropriate consumption, you can also exercise the power of your mantra.
When we have consumed almost all the energy, we go back to the tent to sleep and the day is over.
It was a new day. Zhou Xu cheered up and started reinforcing the two original rafts early in the morning.
Of course, although it is called reinforcement, in reality it is not much different from dismantling the entire raft and rebuilding it.
At the same time, this is not a matter of getting familiar with it the first time, but a serious physical job.
During this period, Zhou Xu had thought about letting the skeleton soldiers carry these tree trunks to reduce their workload.
But it turned out that they couldn't carry it. In fact, at the end, the skeleton soldiers were not smart enough and seemed a bit cumbersome. In the end, they had to come on their own.
After spending a whole morning reinforcing the two rafts, Zhou Xu collapsed on the edge of the lake, fiddling around for a few minutes, and then slowly sat up after catching his breath.
If it were in the past, when he was still in the original world, after being so tired for such a morning, he would definitely be a useless person in the afternoon.
But now he doesn't have this option at all.
Tanking for a long time? Not happening.
How could he afford to give up in half a day in this world? He returned to the camp first, drank some water to fill his stomach and relieve the hunger in his stomach. According to the plan, he was going to the outer area that Ye Jinghong and his team had explored in the afternoon to conduct a "leakage check".
After all, he possesses the "Eye of Insight" and can sometimes discover things that ordinary people cannot discover at all.
But it would take up too much of his time to follow the exploration team throughout the entire process, so he made this arrangement.
After a proper rest, Zhou Xu set off quickly.
Every few steps along the way, they could see a skeleton around them. Along the way, the number of skeletons they noticed was no less than ten.
It was broad daylight, but the presence of these skeletons made the entire atmosphere somewhat eerie.
However, Zhou Xu and the others were very calm.
Because these skeletons were thrown there by people from their tribe, and this was also what Zhou Xu meant.
Simply put, this is the "defense facility" of their Black Moon Camp.
In order to enable his mantra of "Skeleton Soldier Control" to demonstrate its value at any time when needed.
Compared to asking people to carry a bunch of skeletons for his use at any time during the move, Zhou Xu is undoubtedly more inclined to arrange the skeletons in various areas around the camp in advance.
In this way, near their territory, he could always mobilize the power of the skeleton soldiers to drive him at any time with just a little operation.
As for where did they get so many skeletons? This was also simple. They were found on the grassland where Zhou Xu discovered the mantra characters.
He discovered that there were a large number of skeletons buried in the weeds and under the soil of the grassland, which looked like a mass grave.
This made Zhou Xu wonder if this grassland was an ancient battlefield, which was why there were so many corpses buried here.
Of course, he was too lazy to delve into this issue for the moment. He would just use the skeleton anyway.
The task of deploying the skeletons mainly falls on Ye Jinghong and his team. They now throw the skeletons wherever they explore.
Skeletons have been placed in the areas that they had explored before, directly forming special areas that are beneficial to him, allowing Zhou Xu to carry out activities in these areas with greater peace of mind.
【Eye of Insight! 】
When you get to the place, just activate the power of mantra.
Compared with Ye Jinghong and his team, who spent a lot of time exploring each area out of caution, Zhou Xu's exploration method was much simpler and more brutal, thanks to the power of the 'Eye of Insight'.
At the same time, the efficiency is naturally extremely high.
This also meant that an area that would take Ye Jinghong and his team a whole day to explore could be completed by Zhou Xu in just half a day, and most of the time was spent on the journey.
Unfortunately, however, after this round, there was nothing to gain.
[This mantra character is really not that easy to find. I don’t know how long I will have to wait to put together a complete and effective mantra. ]
Needless to say, Zhou Xu, who came here to 'check for omissions and fill in the gaps', wanted to find the lost mantra characters the most.
As for other resources and stuff like that...
To be honest, this area is not too far from their tribal camp, and if it were there, they would have definitely noticed it long ago.
Zhou Xu, who returned empty-handed, was not in a very low mood.
After all, he knew from the beginning that truth was not something that could be found everywhere.
I quickly calmed down and started to organize tomorrow's plans in my mind.
As for what will happen tomorrow, that is what Zhou Xu is most looking forward to...
That means starting from tomorrow, their tribe will officially start implementing the two meals a day arrangement!
When he thought of this, Zhou Xu's heart leaped with joy.
To be honest, he never thought that one day, having two meals a day would make him so happy.
But this is exactly the reality he needs to face.
In this era when people are not getting enough food, it is not easy to have one meal a day, and having two meals a day is even more of a luxury!
When Zhou Xu told this story in front of all the tribal members of the Black Moon Camp after dinner, the entire camp was in an uproar.
For a moment, everyone was doubting their ears, wondering if they were too tired from work today and had auditory hallucinations.
Until their leader gave them affirmation with a serious look on his face.
"You heard it right. Starting tomorrow, we will have two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening!"
At that moment, loud cheers flooded the entire camp!
That night, thinking about being able to eat two meals a day, many tribal members were so excited that they couldn't sleep.
Fortunately, they were already tired enough during the day, and when their excited emotions gradually subsided, the physical and mental exhaustion soon dragged them into sleep.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Zhou Xu was awakened on time by his biological clock as usual.
That day he got up a little more quickly than usual.
Obviously, he had been looking forward to the upcoming breakfast for a long time.
However, before he could walk out of the tent, a sudden "A-sneeze" came from outside the tent, causing Zhou Xu to freeze in place...
