Throne of Vientiane Civilization

After eating the food and reading the report sent by Li Ce, he briefly asked about the situation in the camp. As time passed, Zhou Xu, who was already in poor condition, once again looked sleepy on his face. color.

He had no intention of fighting against this sleepiness, and went straight to sleep when he felt sleepy. His first priority now was to have a good rest, so that the power of the mantra that had been consumed before could be better restored.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already seven o'clock the next morning.

Not to mention the consumed mantra power, a full day and night of rest at least allowed Zhou Xu's mental state to recover a lot.

After breakfast, Zhou Xu arrived outside the camp.

At this moment, the corpses of the four-headed Ankylosaurus were piled there like four hills, and each corpse was filled with giant crossbow arrows.

From facing the giant armored dragon, not knowing where to start, to now completely hunting it down, Zhou Xu took the greatest credit.

If he hadn't used the method of 'beast soldier control' to directly cause the opponent's internal disintegration, considering the environment at that time, the success rate of the crossbow troops could only be said to be 50-50 if they wanted to completely destroy it.

Of course, earlier, the attrition war led by Li Ce allowed the crossbow troops to disintegrate the outer carapace of the four-headed armored dragon in advance, which also played a crucial role.

At this moment, the logistics force was recovering their giant crossbow arrows from the armored dragon.

This is a fatal job. The size of the giant crossbow arrows and the design of the arrowheads mean that these giant crossbow arrows that are embedded in the body of the armored dragon are not easy to pull out.

Judging from the current situation, they need to take a machete and cut the armored dragon's skin and flesh like sawing wood, reduce the wrapping of the armored dragon's flesh on the arrowhead as much as possible, and then tie it to the end of the giant crossbow arrow. With a strong enough hemp rope, a team of people were arranged below to pull out the giant crossbow arrow in a tug-of-war manner.

This job sounds simple, but it is actually very laborious. Whether it is cutting the skin and flesh of ankylosaurus or pulling out giant crossbow arrows, they are so tired that their backs hurt and their hands cramp, but they have to do this job.

After all, every giant crossbow arrow is an important resource for them. It goes without saying that the intact giant crossbow arrows can continue to be put into use.

Even those arrowheads that have been extruded and deformed must be recycled as much as possible, because the iron as the raw material itself is valuable and can be recast.

The Tieshan mine discovered so far does not know how much iron ore it can produce, so limited resources must be used sparingly.

"Has this big guy's heart been checked?"

Walking aside, Zhou Xu asked the head of the logistics team.

Obviously, Zhou Xu wanted to confirm whether this armored dragon was an extraordinary creature. If it was, the opponent's heart should contain 'hard work'.

Faced with the question, the person in charge shook his head.

"As you can see, we are still in the stage of recovering the giant crossbow arrows, and have not yet begun to dissect this big guy. But judging from the current situation, it may not be that easy to dissect this big guy."

Speaking of the latter, the person in charge had a bitter smile on his face that could not be concealed.

You know, just to cut open the skin and muscle tissue of this big guy, they have already spent a lot of effort. If they were asked to dissect this big guy, the person in charge really wouldn't dare to think about it. , how heavy the workload must be.

Zhou Xu, who understood the situation, didn't say anything more.

In fact, he didn't have high expectations for this four-headed ankylosaurus.

One of the irrefutable proofs is that Chitose is still sleeping in the tent, too calm.

That kid Chitose has always been very eager for the "hard work" of extraordinary creatures. Although he will not directly rob it, if these four-headed ankylosaurus really have "hard work", there is a high probability that that kid Chitose is already waiting here. 'dinner time.

In this way, the fact that the boy is not here now and still sleeping is enough to explain a lot of problems.

But this also proves that just because you are big and destructive, you must be an extraordinary creature.

According to this logic, before the time travel, weren't the giant whales in his original world that could knock over ships also extraordinary creatures?

Or were the large dinosaurs of the Jurassic era all extraordinary creatures?

So this idea is inherently problematic.

Looking at destructive power is indeed a simple and crude measure, but it is too one-sided.

This incident gave Zhou Xu new thoughts on the special category of 'extraordinary creatures'.

[Lingzhi, Lingzhi! The key characteristic of extraordinary creatures should be their intelligence far exceeding that of ordinary creatures! 】

Zhou Xu had also fallen into a misunderstanding about combat power before, simply and crudely equating powerful special beasts with extraordinary creatures.

But after seeing the Armored Dragon and thinking about it just now, he came up with new standards. Compared with the simple and crude judgment of combat power, Zhou Xu felt that the more important trait of extraordinary creatures should be intelligence, or Talk about a smart mind.

To take an extreme example, it is like a bug with a highly developed brain, autonomous consciousness and independent thinking ability, and is smarter than humans.

It itself has no fighting power and is only about the size of a fingernail. Let alone a human being, any small creature such as a chicken, duck, or even a bird or a toad can easily kill it.

But can its existence still be classified as an ordinary bug?

There is no doubt that it is an extraordinary creature.

Even after it grows up, the impact it can have will most likely exceed those extraordinary creatures that can simply fight.

Following this line of thought, Zhou Xu could clearly discover that whether it was the big bones and the second bones during his lifetime, or the thousand-year-old, they all showed quite high intelligence.

During his lifetime, Da Gu had done something like diverting troubles away from him, while Er Gu had limited contact with him during his lifetime. Zhou Xu didn't make any assumptions, but Chitose was raised by him.

Therefore, Zhou Xu was almost 100% sure that Chitose could understand what he said without any hindrance, understand his meaning, and even effectively execute some of the complex orders he issued.

On the other hand, the armored dragon on the opposite side can only understand some simple signals and follow the signals to perform some simple tasks.

No matter which angle you look at it, its intelligence is not very high. It is estimated that it is at the same level as cats and dogs at most.

In the case where Zhou Xu uses 'spiritual intelligence' as the core basis for judging whether the target is an extraordinary creature, there is no doubt that the armored dragon's spiritual intelligence is unqualified.

As his thoughts whirled, the new ideas in his mind had been completely sorted out by him.
