Chapter 214 The Meaning of Life
There was no doubt about Drogo's strength when he killed a hyena man with one hoof, not to mention that Zhou Xu had seen his panel. Excluding his potential, he was the only one whose bravery level had reached three stars.
He is most likely the strongest individual known so far! Zhou Xu was originally curious about how he trained to that level. After all, he had seen that not every centaur's bravery level reached three stars.
Now it seems that it is most likely because he has eaten the essence and blood of extraordinary creatures and used the extraordinary power contained therein to temper his body!
At this moment, Drogo, who said this, seemed quite proud.
And this is indeed something he should be proud of. After all, for a hunter, what could make him more proud than hunting down an extraordinary creature? However, looking at the complacent Drogo, Zhou Xu thought of another question.
[Zhogo said that after eating the essence and blood, one would feel extremely painful. But the Thousand Years Old swallowed the essence and blood when it was just born, but I don't think it felt any pain either? Not only did it not feel any pain, it even slept like a dead pig.]
With this question in mind, Zhou Xu asked the question in his heart.
"Drogo, you said that consuming the essence and blood would be extremely painful. How painful is that? Does everyone who consumes the essence and blood feel this way?"
"What kind of pain is that?"
To Drogo, Zhou Xu's question was indeed a bit strange, but he still subconsciously recalled it, and then a look of fear appeared on his face.
"At the time, I felt like my whole body was being torn apart. I almost passed out from the pain. As for whether this happens to everyone, at least that's what I know."
After getting the answer, Zhou Xu nodded.
[There is no need for Drogo to lie to me about this matter, but according to Drogo's description, it does not match his condition at the time when he was a thousand years old...]
As his thoughts raced, a new guess emerged in Zhou Xu's mind.
[Could it be that this blood essence also has the same compatibility problem as the mantra? ]
The emergence of this idea gave Zhou Xu some new ideas.
[The drop of blood that Qiansui ate at that time was from his biological mother. Theoretically speaking, both from the perspective of species and bloodline, they are completely consistent, so the compatibility with Qiansui is very high. After eating it, there was no rejection reaction? ]
For now, his speculation makes perfect sense.
Of course, more proof is needed in the future.
Just as Zhou Xu was thinking about this, the aroma of food began to waft through their village. A gurgling sound came from the side, pulling Zhou Xu back to his senses.
He subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction where the sound came from, and just happened to see Drogo sniffing violently.
Feeling Zhou Xu's gaze, Zhuo Ge showed a slight embarrassment on his face, but the fragrance hooked him and he sniffed again unconsciously.
"Is it time to eat?"
In this era, it is considered good to have one meal a day, and the Centaurs are no exception.
By this time, they were already starving.
Zhou Xu laughed when he saw this and waved at Drogo.
"Come on, I'll take you to dinner."
"Then my people..."
"Don't worry, someone will take them there."
Zhou Xu said as he led Zhuo Ge towards the cafeteria.
The cafeteria in Caoyuan Village consists of two parts.
One part is the place for cooking and storing rice, and a special house was built for this purpose.
The other part is the dining area.
There were no supplies in the dining area, just a big shed.
After all, if so many people gather together to eat, it would be very difficult to build a house, but it is simpler to build a shed.
At this moment, a line has formed outside the room where meals are served.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu led Zhuo Ge to the queue, saying as he walked...
"We distribute food here in a centralized manner. When the time comes, just come here and line up to receive it."
When the villagers who were queuing at the time saw Zhou Xu coming, they wanted to make way immediately, but were stopped by Zhou Xu.
"You guys line up and follow the rules, don't bother with me."
There were only a dozen people in front of them at the moment, so it wouldn't take long for it to be their turn.
Originally, Zhou Xu's meals were delivered directly to his residence by Zhang Xiaoshan or Li Shitou.
After all, as the leader, he is very busy on weekdays, and he usually doesn't need to do trivial things like serving meals himself.
This time, his main purpose was to lead Drogo and familiarize himself with the procedures on their side, so he came here in person.
In the grassland village, since it is close to the military stronghold, there is no need for any trade. It is basically the same as a military camp, with unified distribution of resources and food.
Anyway, these expenses are included in their salaries.
It was their turn in the team soon. Since the food was arranged uniformly, there was no room for selection of dishes. Basically, you ate whatever the kitchen cooked.
Picking up their plates, Zhou Xu and Zhuo Ge quickly prepared their meal and sat down at the dining table in the dining area nearby.
The Centaurs' bodies are not similar to humans, so they cannot sit on these benches.
But Drogo didn't care. He just bent his knees and lay down. Compared with the dining table in front of him, the height was just right.
At this moment, looking at the plate that was almost piled high with food, Drogo resisted the urge to reach out and grab it, swallowing his saliva continuously.
In the past, they basically ate with their hands.
But after coming here, while waiting in line, he noticed that the humans here were using some strange things.
At this moment, Zhou Xu was introducing himself to him.
"This is chopsticks, and this is a spoon. For chopsticks, you can pick up food like this. If you are not used to using them, just use a spoon."
The spoon was very easy to use. After failing to use chopsticks, Drogo, who had been starving for a long time, finally succeeded in scooping up food with a spoon and stuffing it into his mouth.
At that moment, Drogo's eyes widened unconsciously, and then he subconsciously glanced at the food on the plate.
From the moment the aroma wafted away, he realized how tempting the food on the plate was.
However, at this moment, Drogo clearly discovered that his previous awareness was not deep enough.
The moment he put the food into his mouth, he was even in a trance for a moment.
[Who am I? Where am I? What am I eating? Holy shit, how can this be so delicious?! ]
He couldn't control his strong desire at all, and kept putting food into his mouth spoonful by spoonful until he had eaten all the food on the plate! It's no exaggeration to say that at this moment, he seemed to understand the meaning of life! (End of this chapter)
