Chapter 149 New Stage and New Discovery

Take the hyena queen and the wild antelope carcass with you and go back to the camp first.

Zhou Xu returned to the camp and directly called people over.

"The body of the Hyena Queen can be processed, and the body of the wild antelope can also be processed together."

After finishing the matter, Zhou Xu turned around and returned to his animal skin tent here.

At this moment, the cub was still sleeping soundly in its swaddling clothes in the tent.

Zhou Xu was also very evil in his heart.

After getting into the tent, Zhou Xu sat cross-legged in front of the cub and unfolded the swaddling clothes. From birth to now, for almost two days, the hair of the cub that had been sleeping became a bit thicker.

Zhou Xu tried to fiddle with it a few times to see if he could wake it up. In the process, his movements became larger and larger. In the end, he simply grabbed one of the cub's hind legs and lifted it up.

But it was of no use at all. This little guy slept like a dead pig, no! He slept even more dead than a dead pig!

If he couldn't still hear the gentle breathing, he would have doubted whether the little guy was dead.

"Forget it, keep sleeping."

Zhou Xu muttered with a speechless expression and swaddled the little guy back into his swaddling clothes.

"I want to see how long you can sleep. Does this newborn cub really don't need to eat?"

After getting out of the tent, it was just past noon. Although a battle had just ended and the Centaur had just negotiated a joint alliance in the morning, Zhou Xu had no intention of relaxing this afternoon.

As said before, this situation is too rare and hard-won. He must seize the time to develop himself and improve the strength of the tribe at the same time!

On the pretext of hunting down hyenas, Zhou Xu arranged for Li Ce to sit in the grassland camp and coordinate matters in the camp, while he personally led Zhou Chongshan, Ye Jinghong, and a group of tribal members who were still able to move on the grassland.

Exploration started.

After all, there was nothing going on in the grassland camp at the moment that required him to stay in the camp. With Li Ce in charge, it was more than enough.

Under this premise, having him personally lead the team, with his 'eye of insight', and it can clearly improve the exploration efficiency, is currently the optimal solution.

The core purpose of this operation was of course not to find the hyenas, but to find livestock for their tribe to improve transportation efficiency.

In this area, the wild antelope is considered a grassland animal that they have discovered, and it has a certain size and size.

But Zhou Xu's goal this time was not on the wild antelope.

Although the speed of wild antelopes is good, their endurance and strength are not good at all. Let alone letting them haul goods, even if they are allowed to carry a person, they probably won't be able to run for a few steps without gasping for air.

Of course, this does not prevent Ye Jinghong and others from hunting them.

This is not only to obtain the skin and meat from the wild antelope, but more importantly, their leader is interested in the pair of long horns of the wild antelope.

When he discovered the centaurs before, Zhou Xu had already noticed that the bows and arrows in the hands of the centaurs were horn bows made of antelope horns.

The antelope horn is strong and strong, which is a good material for making the bow body.

Now that the material is in front of him, Zhou Xu certainly doesn't mind getting some back to study.

If nothing else, the performance of this animal horn bow is definitely better than that of a bamboo bow.

It's just not as cheap as bamboo bows and easy to mass produce.

As for whether we should capture a few of these wild antelopes and raise them artificially...

Zhou Xu had no such idea at all.

On the one hand, the reason is that he currently has limited manpower. He wants to use his limited breeding manpower to raise livestock to improve transportation efficiency. Wild antelopes do not meet his needs.

On the other hand, because raising wild antelopes, in Zhou Xu's opinion, the price/performance ratio is very limited.

Simply speaking, if the meat is edible and the hides and bones can be used, most animals in the world meet this requirement.

As for, apart from these common basic values, what value does the wild antelope have?

That's the pair of ram's horns that can be used to make the horn bow.

But Zhou Xu had already thought about this clearly before.

If he had the materials, he wouldn't mind making a few animal horn bows, but they couldn't be as cheap or mass-produced as the bamboo bows.

In the future, if he wants to form a troop of hundreds or even thousands of archers, can he use an animal horn bow?

For now, I definitely have to use bamboo bows. After upgrading, I will also choose to use wooden bows with suitable materials.

In this way, the value of the wild antelope's horns in Zhou Xu's eyes was far from enough.

Under this premise, it is troublesome to raise it.

It definitely can’t be grown indoors, but as for outdoors…

This wild antelope is also very good at jumping. It usually circles a fence and jumps out casually.

If they want to get artificially raised mutton sheep like those before time travel, they must first find a good breed and then domesticate them for a long time. Wild antelope is not a good choice no matter how you look at it.

If you encounter them in the wild, you can just shoot a few and get some related resources. There is no need to waste energy and go out to get them.

In the process, Zhou Xu and the others would inevitably have several encounters with the Centaurs.

There is no way, the wild antelope on the grassland is the main source of food for the centaurs.

Although they had already negotiated a cooperation before, this cooperation itself had no binding force and basically depended on the ideas and character of both parties.

Now that they bumped into each other again, Zhou Xu also calmly signaled to Zhou Chongshan and the others to tighten their nerves.

Fortunately, the centaurs headed by Drogo had no intention of going back on their word. After seeing Zhou Xu and the others, they just nodded and said hello from a distance, and then continued to pursue their prey.

During this period, they did not touch the wild antelope that Zhou Xu and the others shot. The overall performance was very harmonious, which also made Zhou Xu feel more at ease.

"Okay, everyone, please move quickly and try to explore more areas before it gets dark."

After watching the centaurs chasing the antelope herd away, Zhou Xu also led his men to continue exploring.

【Eye of Insight!】

When entering a new area, with Zhou Xu around, they would naturally open the 'Eye of Insight' and scan around it first, which would be enough to greatly improve their exploration efficiency.

But even so, they basically found nothing new in the first three days, until noon on the fourth day...

At this time, the exploration team headed by Zhou Xu had already traveled quite a distance.

Under the glance of Zhou Xu's "Eye of Insight", through the thick grass, a group of creatures covered in black fur, with broad chests, thick limbs, and a pair of curved horns on their big heads broke into the surrounding area.

The sight of emotions made his heart beat faster...

[Found, a herd of bison living on the grassland!]

Due to unexpected circumstances, it was delayed for some time, and an update will be sent.
