Chapter 962 New Discovery
Meditation cannot replace sleep.
Meditation also requires a certain state of mind, and lack of sleep will cause the state to decline.
Zhou Xu was aware of this, so after it got dark, he had a simple dinner and went to bed early.
Zhou Xu slept soundly that night.
The fact that this primitive tribe can survive here means that there are no powerful forces nearby.
The black beast during the day should be the biggest threat in the area. Now that this threat has been solved by him, what else does he have to worry about? The next morning, Zhou Xu's biological clock woke him up on time. When he walked out of the tent, the elf knights, including Silk, were already doing morning exercises. The skeleton of the black beast was placed next to them.
As early as yesterday, after they had opened the beast's belly and extracted its essence and blood, they also cleaned up the beast's body.
Zhou Xu now has two ways to deal with the skeleton of this extraordinary creature.
One is to turn it into a skeleton beast soldier, as a military unit to provide combat power on the battlefield.
The second is to hand over the skeleton to the Lizardmen. The craftsmen there can use the skeleton of this extraordinary creature to make animal bone staffs.
Faced with these two options, Zhou Xu pondered for a moment.
In the end I chose the latter.
"When you send the captives and wounded back later, take this skeleton with you and send it to the rain forest. Give it to the lizardman craftsmen to make an animal bone staff."
"yes!"
From the perspective of ruler Zhou Xu, their Great Zhou no longer needs such a skeleton beast unit at this stage.
Not to mention the ferocious beast that turned into a skeleton beast. Its combat power is completely not up to the level it was when it was alive.
In addition, its body length is only about four meters, which is not a qualified giant unit. It would be better to make it into a beast bone staff.
At least the animal bone staff is much more durable than the skeleton beast.
Once a skeleton beast has fought a few tough battles, its bones will become increasingly brittle due to damage in the battle, and its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
In the end, it turned into a pile of broken bones and was completely scrapped.
On the other hand, as long as the animal bone staff is properly maintained, it can almost be used as a semi-permanent equipment and passed down from generation to generation.
From a long-term development perspective, isn't this cost-effectiveness higher than that of a skeleton beast whose combat power does not reach the extraordinary level? After simply giving instructions on this matter, Zhou Xu also practiced Tai Chi for a while to stretch his muscles.
During this process, he was also thinking about things in his mind.
He didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and now he has obtained the essence and blood of the extraordinary creature.
In this case, there was really no need for him to stay here any longer. The rest of the work could be handed over to the exploration team to carry out slowly.
Of course, before leaving, he had to find Qiansui and Xuanyu first.
When Zhou Xu thought about these two guys who had disappeared, he felt a bit of a headache.
"Silk, have you found any traces of Qiansui and Xuanyu?"
“Nothing has been found yet.”
Silk shook his head.
"Qian Sui, they are all extraordinary creatures. They shouldn't encounter any major dangers in this area. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry so much."
In response to Silk's comfort, Zhou Xu nodded and didn't intend to continue to dwell on this matter.
After breakfast, Zhou Xu continued to use meditation to restore the power of mantras in their front-line camp. The task of subsequent exploration fell entirely on the shoulders of the exploration team here, and he basically did not need to worry about it.
Maintaining this state, half a day passed quietly. Just when Zhou Xu was wondering when Qiansui and the others would come back, a black shadow flashed across the sky.
Then, the familiar weight on top of his head made Zhou Xu realize very clearly that his rebellious son had returned.
"Where have you been for so long, you rebellious son?"
Hearing the question, Xuan Yu tilted his head, then flapped his wings and flew down from above Zhou Xu's head, landing on a shelf nearby, then pointed in one direction with his wings again and again.
Then it flapped its wings and flew up, circling over the camp.
"Are you asking me to follow you?"
After understanding Xuan Yu's meaning, Zhou Xu did not hesitate at all. He immediately called Silk and the others over, rode out of the camp on fast horses.
Maintaining a certain speed, they traveled about 20 to 30 kilometers. At the end of their field of vision, a camp came into Zhou Xu's sight.
Outside the camp, a group of tribesmen wrapped in animal skins, holding weapons such as bone spears and stone axes, were confronting a mighty-looking beast.
That ferocious beast was Qiansui!
Looking at the noisy humans not far away, a trace of speechlessness flashed across Qiansui's eyes.
Qiansui was raised by Zhou Xu and has lived among humans since childhood. He has no aversion to humans.
Under this premise, Qiansui, who was quite intelligent, knew clearly that these noisy guys in front of him would become the labor force of their Great Zhou in the future.
From this perspective, it has no plans to take action for the time being.
During this time, Zhou Xu, who was riding on a horse in the distance, had a wider field of vision and basically saw the situation here clearly.
[So we discovered a primitive tribe living here? 】
After confirming the situation, Zhou Xu felt a little disappointed.
To him now, the matter of incorporating primitive tribes is just a trivial matter that cannot be any smaller. Why does it require him to lead the team personally?
But now that he's here, let's get things done quickly.
Just as Zhou Xu was thinking this, more than a dozen adult men rushed out from the opposite camp, each carrying a wooden barrel filled with unknown things.
When he saw Qiansui, he immediately poured the contents of the barrel towards Qiansui.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Xu immediately opened his "Eye of Insight" and saw clearly what had spilled from the bucket.
What spilled out was a liquid with a slightly yellowish color but close to transparent.
At the same time, Zhou Xu clearly saw that one of the men raised a torch and made a gesture as if to throw it away.
When Zhou Xu saw this, his expression changed instantly.
“Stop him!!!”
Zhou Xu didn't know who he was shouting to. He just hoped that someone heard it and could react immediately to stop the other party.
Almost at the same time when Zhou Xu made this sound, Xuan Yu, who was flying in the air, suddenly became sharp in his eyes, and he flapped his wings, bursting out at an astonishing speed.
Before the torch hit the ground, he grabbed it tightly, flapped his wings, and flew away with the torch, leaving this area!
