Chapter 529 Don't Ask Me Why
The dinner was tasteless.
Compared to when the Centaurs lived on their own before, this meal was definitely good.
But everything is afraid of comparison. When they were in the opposite world before, after they joined forces with the Great Zhou army, the food problem had always been solved for them by the Great Zhou army.
Even though they were on the front line, according to the standards of the Great Zhou army, in addition to dry rations, each meal would also include two hot dishes and a soup.
Not to mention the two days we spent in grassland village afterwards.
Comparing the before and after times, the psychological gap is extremely huge, and even Diak, the patriarch, is no exception.
After finishing his meal, Diak briefly arranged the night watch tasks and went back to the tent to sleep.
The bedding Zhou Xu sent them was very dry and warm.
But even so, they still didn't sleep very well that night.
They had always lived in tropical areas and had never tried sleeping in a tent in such snowy and icy conditions.
For the past two days, they slept in a mud house with better insulation and windproofing, with beds underneath and quilts wrapped around them.
And now, all that's left is a quilt.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frug
The Centaurs, who have experienced a better life, cannot help but make comparisons in their minds. The gap between the two really makes them uncomfortable.
The next morning, they could tell from each other's faces that the other did not sleep well the previous night.
The cold wind howled on the grassland all night long, and there was no way they could sleep well.
Joseph came out of the tent with dark circles under his eyes and yawning, ready to have breakfast.
After a round, he found that no one in the camp had made a fire to cook. This confused him, so he quickly found Diak to ask the reason.
"Why don't you have breakfast?"
Hearing this, Diak wanted to slap Joseph on the back of the head, but he held back.
During this time, Joseph didn't know if he sensed anything. He covered the back of his head with his hands and jumped back to create some distance.
"You can talk, but don't do it!"
“…”
Diak was speechless, but he still explained it anyway.
"Food is limited, so we have to save some for now. We'll send out a hunting team later to go around the grassland and see if we can catch any prey."
Having said that, Diak added another sentence.
"You should come with us, so that the tribesmen won't accidentally shoot and kill the sheep or cattle of Da Zhou."
Diak and his friends, who had lived in the grassland village for quite some time, knew that there was an activity called "grazing" in the grassland village.
They don't want to have any conflicts with Da Zhou because of their momentary carelessness.
Although Joseph looks like he does nothing but work all day long, he is still quite reliable when something really happens.
After briefly understanding the situation, he didn't say anything more and agreed directly.
If you think about it carefully, they only had one meal a day before, but ever since they met Da Zhou, they have been led astray.
Now it's not just Diak and Joseph, but other tribesmen as well.
Suddenly there was no breakfast, and now they were really hungry as if they hadn't eaten a meal.
Touching his hungry stomach, Joseph felt like his soul was about to drift away.
"Come to think of it, didn't we agree before that we would cooperate with the Great Zhou to exterminate the rat people? By then, the Great Zhou should provide us with food, right?"
As he spoke, Joseph's eyes began to light up.
Joseph's reaction seemed a bit embarrassing to Diak, but this time he surprisingly did not slap him on the back of the head.
Because he thought so too...
After the Centaurs left the grassland village and successfully built their own tribal camp, a new day began.
During this time in the grassland village, Drogo and his companions had a new mission. After breakfast every day, they went straight to the tribal camp of the Centaurs to learn the inherited skills of the Centaurs from Diak.
Diak certainly would not forget what he had said yesterday. After sending the hunting team led by Joseph off, he took a team of tribesmen and patrolled outside while waiting for Drogo and the others to come.
"Chief Diak!"
Seeing Diak coming out to greet them, Drogo and the others were a little surprised and quickly greeted him.
"Have you had breakfast?"
As Diak asked, he casually glanced at Drogo and the others.
Drogo didn't notice Diak's little action and didn't think much about it.
"We've eaten, shall we get started?!"
“…”
"Chief Diak?"
Looking at Diak who had been motionless for a while, Drogo gave him a strange look.
In response, Diak coughed twice.
"Well, let's get started."
Like the grassland elves, their abilities are actually contained in their blood.
Although some top-notch abilities are not excluded and they have extremely high requirements on themselves, they generally tend to be basic abilities. As long as they master the techniques, that is, the "mantra", they can perform them smoothly.
Of course, the "mantra" itself is not easy to recite, and after performing it, it also requires a lot of practice to better control it.
"We have two inherited skills, but they can actually be counted as one."
At this point, Diak paused. He was not very eloquent and he didn't know how to say this.
"In short, these two inherited skills are 'High-Speed Assault' and 'War Charge'."
While Diack was organizing his thoughts, he introduced them to Drogo and the others.
"The effect of 'High-Speed Rush' is very simple. It increases our running speed. After you have fully mastered this inherited skill, you can start learning 'War Charge'."
"'War Charge' is the move we used in the previous battle. It can increase our charge speed and advance ability, and convert these into impact. Every step we take will form a shock wave that spreads out and repel the enemies that are besieging us. The faster the speed, the stronger the power!"
"Here, the effect of 'High Speed Rush' can be perfectly replaced by 'War Charge'. It is a higher-level skill of 'High Speed Rush'. So if we have already mastered 'War Charge', most of the time we will directly use 'War Charge'. There is no need to use 'High Speed Rush'."
Listening to Diak's story, Drogo roughly understood the relationship between the two inherited skills, and also came up with a new idea.
"Since the faster the speed of 'War Charge', the stronger its power, can we first use 'High-Speed Sprint' to increase the speed, and then launch 'War Charge' to gain stronger power?"
Faced with this question, Diak smiled.
The idea itself is not complicated. Could it be that they have not thought of it?
Even the last person who asked him this question was that kid Joseph.
"I can tell you the answer directly, but I can't."
"Why?"
"Because 'War Charge' itself already includes the effect of 'High-Speed Rush'. You cast two inherited skills one after another, which is equivalent to casting 'High-Speed Rush' twice. Using it twice will not make you run faster."
Having said that, Diak seemed to have remembered something and quickly added another sentence.
"Don't ask me why, it's just the way it is."
