Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Since it is an early departure, the time is not tight.

While passing by Heiyue Village and Salt Lake Village along the way, he also briefly inspected the situation of the two villages.

Compared with before winter, if we want to say how much it has changed, it can only be said that it is more dilapidated than before winter.

Because this winter has brought certain losses to each of their villages, while maintaining normal operations, several villages are also busy with reconstruction projects.

Those with less damage, such as Heiyue Village and Salt Lake Village, are expected to be rebuilt in early spring.

As for grassland villages like the ones that were severely damaged, it is estimated that they will have to be busy until early summer.

Because they need a construction team to do a lot of reconstruction work, and the current construction team has relatively limited manpower, it is doomed that it is difficult to improve the efficiency of this area.

This time when they rushed to the barren mountain village, except for Zhou Xu and Zhou Zhongshan who rode horses, all the other soldiers' horses were left at the grassland village and temporarily handed over to the recruits.

No way, after the blizzard, nearly half of the horses in their grassland village were lost, and it was no longer possible for the soldiers to have a single horse.

Under this premise, the battle on the barren mountain village is mainly inside the mountain, and there are no paved mountain roads here.

Zhou Xu and Zhou Zhongshan rode over, but in the end they had no choice but to place the horses at the post station at the foot of the mountain, and then hike up the mountain.

In the ensuing battles, the war horses were basically useless, as they had known for a long time.

The reason why they still chose to come here on horseback was mainly just in case, if something happened to Grassland Village, they could rush back as quickly as possible.

There were no accidents along the way, and the soldiers headed by Zhou Xu arrived at the post station at the foot of the barren mountain village smoothly.

Since the team transporting combat supplies had set off ahead of schedule, they had already arrived at this moment.

And Shi Lei had already had all the things that could be moved up, and the ones left at the foot of the mountain were the bones of the two extraordinary creatures.

For the sake of convenience, Zhou Xu casually named the two skeletons 'big bone' and 'two bones' respectively.

The former is Chitose's biological mother, and the latter is the saber-toothed tiger.

Considering the size and weight of the two skeletons, as well as the steepness of the mountain road, Shi Lei and the others had no choice but to wait for their leader to come over and take care of it.

[Skeleton Beast Soldier Manipulation! 】

Zhou Xu's mantra was launched, and in the next second, with the will-o'-the-wisps igniting in the skull's eye sockets, the big bones and two bones stood up from the ground unhurriedly.

[Skeleton beast soldier speed enhancement! 】

In order to improve efficiency and make a quick decision, Zhou Xu turned over and climbed onto the back of the big bone to sit firmly. At the same time, he backhanded them to increase their speed, and immediately controlled them to rush towards the mountain.

As a four-legged extraordinary creature during his lifetime, although his flexibility decreased significantly after becoming a skeleton beast soldier, he still had an advantage over two-legged humans when climbing mountains.

After seeing their leader sitting on the back of the big bone and controlling the two skeleton beasts to climb the mountain, Zhou Zhongshan and the others also followed the members of the barren mountain village who came to meet them and began to climb the mountain.

To be honest, they are now taking the route that the villagers here often take, and they have vaguely stepped on a road, which must be less laborious than the big-boned route.

But the reality is that they simply can't catch up with the big bones and two bones.

The big bones and the two bones climbed up the mountain, basically ignoring the terrain, and relying directly on their strength, they forcibly inserted their claws into the mountain to hook them, and just kept climbing towards the top of the mountain, not afraid of falling at all.

On the other hand, even if there are villagers leading the way, they have to cheer up and move carefully step by step. They dare not relax at all, otherwise they will fall down the mountain if they make a mistake.

With this speed, within a short while, he was swept away by the big bones and two bones.

At the same time, in the barren mountain village...

The news that the leader is coming today has already spread internally, and many villagers are talking about it in private.

The situation in Heiyue Village, Salt Lake Village, and Grassland Village is different. Half of the population in Barren Mountain Village is the captives they brought in when they attacked the tribe on the other side.

For this group of people, they didn't get along with Zhou Xu for a long time. Because of the distance between this place and the other three villages, Zhou Xu left after arranging things here, and never came back.

As time went by, their impression of Zhou Xu, the leader, was gradually blurring.

Until those two huge figures appeared from the forest, and then jumped into the open space outside their village.

"ah--"

A terrified cry broke the tranquility of the village.

"Monster! There are monsters!!"

Although Dagu and Ergu have been placed in the post station at the foot of the mountain for some time, the villagers on this side of the barren mountain village mainly live in the village on the other side of the mountain. Leaving aside the on-duty personnel and related staff, not everyone will come to the post station here.

During the period, even if I heard from the relevant personnel that two huge skeleton monsters were transported from the post station, but listening to their poor descriptions, how can I feel the shock of seeing it with my own eyes? !

Not to mention that these two skeleton monsters are still alive!

At this moment, many villagers who hadn't reacted in their minds were frightened, and screams were heard in an instant.

At the same time, the guards outside the village heard the movement and rushed over.

But the closer they got, the more they could feel the hugeness of the skeleton monster, and the terrifying oppressive feeling almost swept over them, making their bodies a little stiff, and for a moment, they didn't know what to do.

At this moment, a voice came from the monster.

"Where's Shi Lei? Where is he?"

While speaking, Zhou Xu stepped on Dagu's body and stood up.

The winter sun shone on him, making him look like a god.

"This person seems to be the leader?"

And it was at this time that someone finally recognized him.

At the same time, Shi Lei also heard the movement and hurried out.

Shi Lei, who had already met Shi Lei when the big bones and two bones were first brought here, was still taken aback.

The skeleton monster was really different when it was moving and when it was lying still, but it still managed to control its emotions, and saw that he had already recognized Zhou Xu and hurried forward to salute.

"Shi Lei sees the leader! There are too many things in the village recently, and it takes too much time to go back and forth. There is no way to meet him at the foot of the mountain. Please forgive me, the leader!"

"No problem."

While Zhou Xu was speaking, the power of the mantra had been released, and the big bones and two bones without the support of their strength just fell on the ground, and Zhou Xu jumped off the big bones.

"Lead the way ahead. I'll go into the village to see what you've done to the village."

How could Shi Lei dare to complain about this? He hurriedly led Zhou Xu into the village.
