"Fuck! Centaur?!"

Although Zhou Xu has long accepted the reality that this is a magical world, so far, all he has seen are human beings.

Even these skeletons were still human beings when they were alive, right?

Suddenly, such a group of special creatures that were obviously not human broke into his field of vision. The impact on him was quite big, and he couldn't hold it back for a while, so he uttered curse words.

[After all, what race do centaurs belong to? Orcs? No, this should be regarded as a mythical creature...]

Just as Zhou Xu was thinking this, the centaurs, who were obviously hunting, were already running wildly, quickly bending their bows and setting arrows.

The next second, an arrow was shot out. The arrow cut through the air and sank directly into the hind leg of an antelope!

This arrow obviously had an impact that could not be ignored on the running antelope, but the pressure of survival made it still run wildly there, not daring to stop at all.

For this situation, the centaurs chasing behind seemed to have expected it.

While continuing to maintain their running posture, they swiftly pulled out an arrow from behind and bent the bow again.

In the process of running wildly, the antelope's wounds were constantly torn, and the blood that continued to overflow soon completely stained the entire hind leg of the antelope.

Gradually, the speed of the antelope began to slow down, and it could not continue to keep distance from the centaur hunters chasing behind.

Almost at the same time as they completely caught up, several centaurs holding spears on the side thrust out the spears in their hands.

Several powerful thrusts with momentum easily penetrated the antelope's skin and flesh, and at the same time forced the antelope to the ground.

At this moment, the antelope, already covered in blood, was still struggling to stand up from the ground, but the passage of life quickly deprived it of all vitality.

Looking at the antelope's body, one of the centaurs quickly inserted his spear into the antelope's body, picked it up, and put it on his horse.

Watching this whole process, Zhou Xu was horrified.

It wasn't because the Centaur hunted the antelope so ferociously and terrifyingly. In fact, he had already adapted to this type of scene.

What really shocked Zhou Xu was the strength displayed by the centaurs!

[Due to its special shape, the centaur possesses strong mobility and can be said to be a natural cavalry unit. 】

[In addition, judging from the hunting performance just now, this centaur seems to have no shortcomings in speed, endurance, and even strength. It is indeed a mythical creature. 】

Of course, if it was just cavalry, Zhou Xu could also choose to lengthen the bone spears and use spearmen to contain the cavalry.

But the problem now is that they not only have cavalry, they also have bows and arrows!

The combination of bows and cavalry, isn’t that a cavalry archer with the ability to mount and shoot?!

Good guy, in this era and environment, just having a cavalry is already very buggy, but it also has the combat capabilities of a cavalry? Isn’t this a proper dimensionality reduction attack?

Following this line of thinking, Zhou Xu really had no idea when facing this group of centaurs.

At the moment, his first reaction is to avoid it. He doesn't want to have an armed conflict with these centaurs at all. If they really fight, he feels that there is little chance of winning.

Fortunately, the group of centaurs were probably just chasing the antelope herd passing by.

After finishing hunting, they carried the prey on their backs and walked in another direction, with no intention of approaching Zhou Xu and the others.

Keeping a safe distance is not a big problem. Of course, the more important reason is that if they give up this resource-rich land, the development of their tribe will be restricted.

At the same time, what is even more fatal is that with limited land and limited resources, even if they invest more development time, it will be difficult for them to make new breakthroughs.

Take the stone tools in front of him as an example. If he can't find copper-iron ore, how can he advance from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, or even the Black Iron Age?

And if he wants to find these ores, he has to keep exploring outside to find precious resources hidden throughout the world.

"Jinghong, have you found a suitable camping spot nearby?"

According to Ye Jinghong's work efficiency, he must have explored the surrounding environment before returning to Black Moon Camp to report to him.

Now facing Zhou Xu's question, Ye Jinghong quickly said...

"There is a river near here."

There is no need to say too much, it is enough to know this.

In this era, the only hard condition for setting up a camp in the wild is that there must be drinkable fresh water resources nearby.

On this basis, other resources are additional.

Of course, the more additional resources, the better. After all, who would dislike this?

Let Ye Jinghong lead the way, and the group quickly moved to the river.

Their arrival surprised some small animals that were drinking water by the river. They quickly ran into the nearby grass and disappeared.

Zhou Xu and the others have no interest in pursuing him. At the same time, in this situation, it is generally impossible to pursue them.

"Everyone, let's take a short rest."

Zhou Xu hasn't made any plans to set up a camp here, but they have traveled a long way and they really need to stop and rest for a while.

During this rest process, Zhou Xu habitually relied on his 'eye of insight' to observe the surrounding situation.

With the blessing of the power of the mantra, his powerful insight allowed him to notice some little guys hiding in the grass, and then directly chose to ignore them.

These little guys had already noticed their arrival, and Zhou Xu was sure that as long as they made the slightest move, the bodies of these little animals would immediately burst out with astonishing speed and escape from their eyes.

It is unrealistic to capture them without any preparation, no advance deployment, and no corresponding hunting tools.

"It's almost time to rest, it's time for us to set off."

Under the observation of the 'Eye of Insight', there were no special discoveries nearby.

Originally, if the centaurs had not appeared before, then this area would have been a qualified camping location, but now...

In order to ensure the safety of their camp, Zhou Xu just wants to stay away from the group of centaurs that may appear!

Even the further away the better.

After confirming the direction where the centaurs left at that time, after everyone finished resting, Zhou Xu led everyone in the opposite direction along the river without hesitation.

Before the sun sets in the west, we find a reasonably suitable spot...

"Well, this is it, we'll camp here!"

After going deep into the grassland, the surrounding environment was actually mostly monotonous. The reason why Zhou Xu chose this location was because there was a nice mound nearby.

After the camp is set up, this mound can be used as a watchtower to warn enemies who may approach their camp. It can also be regarded as an innate security facility.
