Chapter 51 Defense Facilities
Author: flying de lazy cat
It was approaching evening, and the exploration team headed by Ye Jinghong, who set out early in the morning, successfully returned to the Black Moon Camp before dark.
The exploration teams of this era are limited by various conditions and basically cannot go far.
In addition, it takes time to go back and forth. In fact, you can't explore much area in one day.
However, Ye Jinghong's efficiency still satisfied Zhou Xu. According to the latest report, they had almost explored one-third of the circle outside their camp today.
After that, it will take at most two days to complete the exploration of the remaining areas, and then move forward further.
In this era, this efficiency is definitely extremely fast.
After dinner, Zhou Xu started to activate the mantra as usual, pulled up the skeleton soldiers, and tried various possibilities.
By the way, through this kind of appropriate consumption, you can exercise your own mantra power.
When I have almost consumed everything, I go back to the tent to sleep, and the day is over.
On a new day, Zhou Xu cheered up and devoted himself to reinforcing the original two rafts early in the morning.
Of course, it is said to be reinforcement, but in fact it is not much different from dismantling the entire raft and rebuilding it.
At the same time, this is not a question of something that happens once or twice, but a matter of serious physical work.
During this period, Zhou Xu thought about letting the skeleton soldiers carry these tree trunks to reduce their work burden.
But it turned out that they couldn't carry it, and even when they got to the back, because the skeleton soldiers were really not smart enough, they seemed to be a bit in the way, so in the end they had to do it themselves.
After spending a whole morning's work to strengthen the two rafts, Zhou Xu slumped on the edge of the lake and swayed for a few minutes. After he was out of breath, he slowly sat up.
In the past, when he was still in his original world, after being so tired all morning, he would definitely be a useless person in the afternoon.
But now, he has no such option at all.
Waiting for a long time? It doesn’t exist.
How can there be half a day in this world for him to mess up?
He returned to the camp first, drank some water to fill his stomach, and alleviate the hunger in his belly. According to the plan, he was going to the outer area in the afternoon that Ye Jinghong and the others had explored to conduct a 'check for leaks and fill in the gaps'.
After all, with his 'eye of insight', he can sometimes discover things that ordinary people cannot discover at all.
But following the exploration team throughout the whole process was too time-consuming for him, so he made this arrangement.
After taking a proper rest, Zhou Xu set off quickly.
After walking a few steps along the way, they could see a skeleton lying around. Along the way, the number of skeletons they noticed was no less than ten.
It was obviously broad daylight, but the presence of these skeletons made the whole atmosphere a bit gloomy.
But Zhou Xu and the others were very calm.
Because these skeletons were thrown there by people from their tribe, and this was what Zhou Xu meant.
To put it simply, this is the ‘defense facility’ of their Black Moon Camp.
In order to make his "skeleton soldier control" mantra show value at any time when needed.
Compared to asking people to carry a bunch of skeletons for him to use anytime and anywhere during the move, Zhou Xu is undoubtedly more inclined to arrange the skeletons in various areas around the camp in advance.
In this way, near their territory, with a little manipulation, he could pull up a force from the skeleton soldiers for him to drive at any time.
As for where did they get so many skeletons?
This thing is equally simple, that is, it was found from the grassland where Zhou Xu discovered the mantra characters.
He found that there were a large number of skeletons buried in the grass and under the soil of the grassland, making it look like a mass grave.
This made Zhou Xu wonder whether this grassland was an ancient battlefield, which was why there were so many bones buried here.
Of course, he was too lazy to delve into this issue at the moment. Anyway, he would just use the skeleton.
The job of deploying the skeletons mainly falls on Ye Jinghong and the others. They just throw the skeletons wherever they explore.
Skeletons have been placed in the areas they have explored before, directly forming special areas that are beneficial to him, allowing Zhou Xu to carry out activities in these areas with more peace of mind.
【Eye of Insight!】
When you reach the place, directly activate the power of the mantra.
Compared with Ye Jinghong and the others who spent a lot of time exploring every area out of caution, Zhou Xu's exploration method was much simpler and rougher thanks to the power of the 'Eye of Insight'.
At the same time, the efficiency is naturally incredibly high.
This also allowed Ye Jinghong and the others to spend a day exploring the area, but Zhou Xu could complete it in just half a day, most of which was spent on the road.
Unfortunately, there was nothing gained after this round.
[This mantra character is indeed not that easy to find. I don’t know how long it will take to come up with a complete and effective mantra. 】
Needless to say, what Zhou Xu, who came to 'check for leaks and fill in the gaps', wanted to find most was the missing mantra characters.
As for other resources and the like...
To be honest, this area is not too far from their tribe's camp. If it were, they would have noticed it long ago.
Zhou Xu, who returned without success, was not in a very depressed mood.
After all, he knew from the beginning that mantra was not something that could be found everywhere.
I quickly picked up my mood and sorted out tomorrow's arrangements in my mind.
As for what will happen tomorrow, Zhou Xu is most looking forward to it...
I'm afraid that starting from tomorrow, their tribe will officially implement the arrangement of two meals a day!
When he thought of this, Zhou Xu was filled with joy.
To be honest, he never thought that one day, being able to eat two meals a day would make him so happy.
But this is exactly the reality he needs to face.
In this era when people don't have enough to eat, it's not easy to eat one meal a day, but it's even more luxurious to have two meals a day!
When Zhou Xu said this in front of all the tribe members in Black Moon Camp after dinner, the entire camp exploded.
For a moment, everyone was doubting their ears, wondering if they were too tired from work today and had auditory hallucinations.
Until their leader gave them a serious look on his face.
"You heard it right, starting from tomorrow, we will have two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening!"
At that moment, violent cheers flooded the entire camp!
That night, many tribe members were so excited that they couldn't sleep, thinking about the day when they could have two meals a day.
Fortunately, they were already tired enough during the day. When their excitement slowly subsided, their physical and mental exhaustion soon dragged them into sleep.
There was no talking all night, but early the next morning, Zhou Xu was woken up on time by his biological clock as usual.
On this day, he got up a little more efficiently than usual.
Obviously, he had been looking forward to the upcoming breakfast for a long time.
However, before he could walk out of the tent, a sudden 'sneeze' came from outside the tent, causing Zhou Xu to freeze in place...
