Chapter 157: Show your presence
This grassland is the hunting ground of the Centaurs. They have been hunting and surviving here for a long time, so they must be familiar with this place.
Ever since the Centaur leader Drogo learned the news of the Hyena Queen's death from Zhou Xu, their Centaur tribe would go out in full force after hunting in the morning and search for any traces of Hyena people in the entire area.
After all, unlike Zhou Xu who knew he couldn't win and didn't want to get involved, Drogo really wanted to take advantage of this "leaderless" moment to kill all the hyenas! Of course, as the mortal enemy of the hyenas on this grassland, the two tribes had fought for so many years, and Drogo knew very well that it was unrealistic to completely kill all the hyenas.
The grassland is so vast, and there is nothing they can do even if the other party wants to hide or escape.
But after finally getting such an opportunity, Drogo must severely inflict heavy damage on the Hyena Tribe, at least to make them unable to compete with them in the future! With this mentality, the Centaurs relied on their excellent mobility to demonstrate a very powerful search and capture ability.
Hyena people cannot hide forever, they need to eat, and for this they must come out to hunt.
As excellent hunters on this grassland, the Centaurs know very well where the prey is.
They just need to pay more attention to the areas where prey appear, and sooner or later they will be able to wait for the hyenas to appear.
This day is like this!
This was not the first day that they had discovered the hyena man and started hunting him down.
Similarly, it was not the first time that the hyena people were being hunted by them.
The Centaurs were coming with great force. The leaderless hyenas were unable to form an effective group and fought in groups of two or three. They did not dare to fight them head-on. When they realized their whereabouts were exposed, they immediately turned around and ran away.
Of course the Centaurs wouldn't just let them go, so they drew their bows and arrows and started chasing them.
For a moment, all you could see on the grassland was the centaurs and hyenas chasing each other, and the situation was extremely intense.
"Strange, given the speed of the Centaurs, they shouldn't be able to catch up with the Hyenas, right? Why haven't they caught up yet?"
At this moment, somewhere on the grassland, a pair of eyes are secretly observing the situation in the distance.
After seeing this scene, Zhou Chongshan next to him couldn't help but feel a little confused.
“That’s their strategy.”
Faced with this question, Zhou Xu said without turning his head...
"According to the speed of the centaurs, they can certainly catch up with the hyenas. However, in the current situation, the hyenas are in good condition. Although the centaurs are outnumbered, once they catch up, the hyenas will definitely fight back desperately. At that time, the centaurs cannot guarantee that they will not be injured."
Having said this, Zhou Xu paused.
"Drogo now wants to ensure that his side can kill the hyenas more easily, so they deliberately don't chase after them, but use bows and arrows to consume the hyenas. When they have consumed almost all of them, they will give them a fatal blow!"
In the bushes, Zhou Xu calmly analyzed the situation, then waved to Zhou Chongshan and others.
"Let's go and get involved."
"Ah? Aren't you going to catch the buffalo anymore?"
As Zhou Chongshan spoke, he turned his head and glanced behind him.
They have found a herd of bison, resting behind this patch of grass.
But Zhou Xu's attention at this time was obviously no longer on the bison.
"We'll talk later, Bison."
After all, he had reached a cooperation agreement with the Centaurs on the premise of jointly dealing with the hyenas.
From then on, they started paddling the whole time.
Although he also came out to catch bison this time, since he had witnessed this incident, Zhou Xu thought that he should show up appropriately.
Of course, the more important reason was that he had already made a simple analysis of the situation.
There were only six hyenas on the opposite side, but there were eleven centaurs! The individual strength of the centaurs was stronger than that of the hyenas, and now the numbers were completely suppressed, so it was a sure win.
He just had to go up and show his presence appropriately to let Drogo know that he was not slacking off.
At the same time, this time, he might be able to bring back six hyena skeletons! When Zhou Xu thought of this, he was really a little excited.
Accompanying Zhou Chongshan and others, Zhou Xu moved quickly.
Based on his simple judgment just now, the hyena people who were being chased should run past them from the outer side.
As long as he has determined the route, he only needs to take the shortest straight route to the flank to intercept.
As long as the Centaurs could accommodate the Hyenas' speed, they would have enough time to reach the ambush position.
But his interception was not just a foolish rush to intercept...
"Bow and arrow ready!"
"put!"
At the command, a round of arrows flew out.
Among them, Zhou Chongshan relied on his archery skills to launch precise sniping!
The pursuit of the Centaurs had already made them feel extremely anxious.
The sudden attack from the side at this time scared the hyenas to death.
All their attention was focused on the hyenas behind them, and they had no time to react as a round of arrows immediately fell on them.
Among them, Zhou Chongshan's arrow even pierced through the hyena man's neck.
But I don’t know if it was because the arrow didn’t hit the vital point, or because the structure of the hyena man’s neck is different from that of humans, the arrow didn’t kill him immediately.
But even so, Zhou Chongshan's archery skills were enough to make Zhou Xu applaud.
Zhou Chongshan's talent in the use of weapons is simply amazing. The first time he bent the bow and drew the arrow, he could hit the target from fifty meters away. Now, after a long period of practice, his archery skills have undoubtedly been honed to a higher level.
The first arrow failed to kill him, so Zhou Chongshan bent his bow and drew his arrow again without saying a word.
During this period, other tribal members were not idle either. They did not intend to rush up to intercept the hyenas head-on, but they were still happy to provide long-range support like this.
Realizing that the situation was not good, the hyena people wanted to escape separately, but the Centaurs were chasing them, and Zhou Xu and his men blocked one direction, forcing them to flee in other directions.
On the other side, seeing this, Drogo didn't even bother to bend his bow and draw his arrow. He immediately gave orders, asking his tribesmen to put away their bows and arrows, pick up their spears, and start charging.
When Zhou Xu saw this, he quickly asked the tribal members to stop attacking to avoid accidental injuries.
There is no need to say much about what happened next. The hyenas, who were already covered in wounds from arrows, were no match for the centaurs.
After a chase, they were soon killed one after another by the Centaurs' spears.
During this process, Zhou Xu also led the tribal members to walk forward and greet the other party.
To be honest, I had a bit of heat stroke. After taking medicine, I wanted to write after waking up, but I was so sleepy that I woke up in the middle of the night. But don't worry, I will make up for the missing update yesterday. Thank you for your understanding and support! (End of this chapter)
