Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 791 Everything goes well

At the same time, on the exploration team's side, the hot-air balloon's follow-up fuel had been delivered, and with the fuel replenished, the hot-air balloon quickly took off again.

Hot air balloon operators are already familiar with this aspect of the job, and with the blessing of mantra power, there are naturally no surprises.

The hot air balloon flew smoothly to the mountains on the other side. The observer took out the bamboo basket and activated the 'Eye of Insight' to observe the situation below and even around it.

"No large-scale forces were found. There are traces of primitive tribe survival near the foot of the mountain."

At this point, the observer's voice paused.

"Primitive tribes found in coastal areas."

Maintaining the 'Eye of Insight', the observer kept talking about everything he saw. At the same time, another observer in the bamboo basket took on the responsibility of recording and quickly recorded everything he discovered.

If you want to cast the mantra with relative ease, your mental attributes must reach at least three stars.

But leaving aside the extraordinary talents of the elves, this is not an easy thing for ordinary humans.

Under this premise, if the quality is not up to standard, quantity can only make up for it.

The simplest way is to arrange two observers with 'eyes of insight' and let them observe and record alternately.

There are trees in the forest blocking the way. They are flying in the air and can't see clearly even with the 'Eye of Insight'. Therefore, the observer's main observation location is the coastal area. After scanning in a circle, after removing the mantra, they look back at the hot air balloon. operator.

"Can we fly over this mountain now and see the other side of the mountain?"

Hearing this, the operator who had already confirmed the fuel shook his head.

"There is a risk. We will not be able to ensure that we have enough fuel to fly back by then."

Hot air balloons are not an accurate tool. In order to avoid unexpected situations that may lead to insufficient fuel, they must ensure sufficient error tolerance.

The observer, who also knew this in his mind, would naturally not continue to insist after learning the situation from the operator.

The hot air balloon returned quickly. After landing, they immediately wrote a report and sent it to Xianyang City.

In the Qinzheng Hall, Zhou Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief as he looked through the latest report sent by the exploration team.

[As long as there are no troublesome forces. 】

In addition, the report sent back also included a report on the collection mission on the mountain.

It was good to get a group of cheap labor easily, which made Zhou Xu feel good at the moment.

At this moment, a soldier walked in with a document.

"Your Majesty, the report just came from the exchange group."

After receiving the report, Zhou Xu flipped through it.

From Zhou Xu's perspective, the work of the exchange groups on both sides was going extremely smoothly.

The wood elves who guard the basin forest all year round are too ignorant, live a careless life, and like to enjoy themselves, so they are really no match for them.

If this pace continues, those wood elves will soon be inseparable from their big Zhou, and it will only be a matter of time before they can recruit them.

Thinking of this, I feel relieved.

[As for the exploration force, the hot air balloon has completed its exploration, and subsequent exploration can only wait until the big ship is built. As for the task of recruiting primitive tribes in the mountains, judging from the latest report, it should be almost completed. By then, this A batch of manpower will be freed up. 】

Thinking of this group of manpower, Zhou Xu subconsciously thought of the mountainous area where exploration work had been temporarily suspended due to the discovery of the existence of extraordinary creatures.

"Speaking of which, is there no news about that extraordinary creature in the mountains area?" Zhou Xu asked casually in the Qinzheng Hall.

The deputy captain of the nearby guard team heard this and hurriedly spoke...

"Reporting to your Majesty, there is no news from there today."

Zhou Xu nodded, indicating that he understood.

[Depending on the situation, I'm afraid that the extraordinary creature escaped into the mountains, and Chitose was nowhere to be found. 】

Just as Zhou Xu was thinking this, among the mountains, Chitose expressed that he had been very irritable recently.

It's not like it couldn't find the guy opposite. The problem now is that it found it, but it couldn't communicate, or the guy didn't believe it.

Every time I see it, the other person immediately turns around and runs away. While running, I occasionally look back at it like a fool, which makes it very annoying now.

But it has no choice but to use the stupidest method, which is to chase it until the opponent is exhausted.

Apart from being time-consuming and labor-intensive, there is no big problem with this method.

Long before Zhou Xu received the news, the extraordinary creature had been chased by Chitose for quite some time, and now it was being chased for several days, and its condition had been deteriorating day by day recently.

On this day, feeling the threat that was approaching from behind, the extraordinary creature fled all the way to a mountain forest. By now, it was panting from exhaustion and drooling.

At the same time, a pair of eyes full of humanity showed an undisguised annoyance, and he roared at Chitose who was catching up from behind, as if shouting, 'Are you finished? ! '

Although Chitose was also annoyed about this, considering his old father's instructions, he still had the patience to put forward what he had already said before.

As long as the other party is willing to join the Great Zhou, they can live in peace. The other party is not allowed to attack the people of the Great Zhou, and when necessary, assist the Great Zhou to resist the invasion of foreign enemies and protect the safety of the residents here.

On the contrary, it can survive freely in this mountain forest, and even the camps, villages and cities of the Great Zhou will provide it with food and even places to sleep and rest.

It doesn't matter if it wants to live directly in the village camp.

When he first heard the news from Chitose, the extraordinary creature only thought that Chitose was crazy or had something wrong with his brain, so he would say such outrageous things.

And now, it's a little shaken.

The main thing is that if it continues like this, it will not survive more than a thousand years. It either needs to leave this forest and find another place to live, otherwise it will die at the hands of a thousand years old sooner or later.

But for them, leaving their familiar territory is also a very dangerous move.

Thinking of this, the extraordinary creature seemed to have something to worry about.

[No matter how you say it, agree first and then say it. 】

With this thought in mind, the extraordinary creature agreed to Chitose's proposal.

Of course, after all, it still maintains a state of being ready to run away at any time. It is obvious that it does not really believe Chitose's words in its heart.

But Chitose didn't think so much, she just wanted to get this matter over with quickly.

Now that he heard the other party's agreement, Chitose immediately stopped moving, howled a few more times, and asked the other party some precautions before turning around and leaving.

Although the whole process was exactly as they promised, when seeing Chitose turning around and leaving, the extraordinary creature was still extremely confused.

Obviously he couldn't imagine that Chitose was really gone.

After being stunned for a while, he immediately quietly went over to check it twice, and then he took a long breath of relief, his legs went weak, and he collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.
