Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Since he had to leave early the next day, Zhou Xu also consciously worked overtime today and notified the following departments to send over any important documents that he needed to review personally.

On this day, almost all departments in Black Moon City were working overtime.

Early the next morning, Zhou Xu's precise biological clock allowed Zhou Xu to wake up on time. Yesterday's overtime work had no impact on his mental state today.

This is one of the powerful advantages of spiritual attributes.

As long as the mantra power in Zhou Xu's body is not severely depleted, and as long as he doesn't work too much overtime the day before, his mental state will not be bad and his mind will be clear the next day.

After having breakfast with Xie Liancheng, for the sake of efficiency, Zhou Xu did not take the carriage and directly led the elf knights headed by Silk to the Prairie City at high speed.

In the past, when Zhou Xu arrived in Prairie City, he would definitely conduct an inspection first, but he was really not in that mood today.

Basically, as soon as he arrived at Prairie City, he took Xie Liancheng and Lord Ma to the racecourse outside the city.

The bad temper of Prince Ma is the best among all the horses that Ma Guotao has trained.

Normally, a horse with such a bad temper does not meet the requirements in terms of personality.

During the breeding optimization process, they will be directly screened out.

Even as a war horse, it is unqualified because its obedience is too poor and it is unfriendly to humans.

But this guy's physical fitness is surprisingly strong.

This made Ma Guotao extremely confused at the time.

He even asked Zhou Xu for his opinion specifically on this.

As one of the rewards he awarded to generals, a group of bloody horses happened to be sent to him at that time.

At that time, Zhou Xu asked Ma Guotao to send Lord Ma over for a look. As a result, after sending him, he was picked by Xie Liancheng and became Jie Liancheng's mount.

Counting the time, maybe we haven’t seen each other for a long time.

Although from Ma Guotao's perspective, Prince Ma was a typical brat with problems, when he saw him now, he still felt a bit emotional and kind.

Subconsciously, I wanted to go up and touch it, thinking that since I could be considered its 'adoptive father', it shouldn't be a problem.

Who would have thought that as soon as he got close, Lord Ma would let out a snort that sounded like a warning. At the same time, his front hooves would dig up the ground threateningly, and his eyes would be full of evil.

Ma Guotao, who noticed this movement, immediately stopped.

"Hey! This guy still has such a bad temper!"

Facing Lord Ma's warning, Ma Guotao laughed twice, but he was not upset in his heart.

After all, he had known for a long time that this guy had such a bad temper.

But I didn't forget to say a few words to Zhou Xu.

"Your Majesty, you have also seen that this guy has such a bad temper. Even if it succeeds, its offspring will most likely inherit its bad temper during breeding. As a war horse, this is not a good thing. ”

It was because of Lord Ma's bad temper that he was completely unqualified as a war horse. If Xie Liancheng hadn't been strong enough to subdue him, his fate would most likely have been to lie idle in the racecourse for the rest of his life.

Even if it is cold-blooded, considering the subsequent breeding costs, killing it directly is the most reasonable way.

Zhou Xude admitted that Ma Guotao's concerns were justified.

But the problem is that he has no choice now.

"Then we will slowly adjust the genes through later breeding."

In the early years, Zhou Xu was the person who took the lead in breeding wolves after all. On such matters, he could really have a few words with Ma Guotao.

Ma Guotao, who was a breeder during this period, could understand the meaning of Zhou Xu's words.

According to His Majesty's thinking, it should be based on the success of Lord Ma. When several batches of offspring are born, there should always be some with good character among the group of foals.

At that time, they will focus on breeding those with good personalities, and then use them to breed with good personalities. In this way, the bad genes will be eliminated and the good genes will remain.

"This method is not impossible, but the cultivation cycle may take longer."

If you think about it, you know that this is not something that can be solved in one or two rounds of breeding.

Zhou Xu nodded, indicating that he was mentally prepared.

"Anyway, let's see if Lord Ma is willing to eat this drop of blood."

If Lord Ma doesn't eat, then it's all in vain.

As Zhou Xu spoke, he took out the porcelain bottle containing blood essence.

The moment he uncorked the bottle, Zhou Xu could clearly feel that Prince Ma was becoming a little agitated, and his eyes were fixed on the porcelain bottle in his hand.

Zhou Xu, who noticed this situation, raised his eyebrows slightly.

【There is drama. 】

Thinking back to the past, when other horses in the racecourse smelled the scent of blood, this was not their reaction.

All of them wanted to run as far as they could.

But the bad-tempered Lord Ma in front of him felt like he wanted to rush in and fight.

This strong fighting spirit gave Zhou Xu some hope.

With this thought in mind, he directly held up the porcelain bottle and approached it.

I don't know if it was because Lord Ma was currently focusing all his energy on the porcelain bottle, but Zhou Xu easily approached it and at the same time put the porcelain bottle in front of its nose.

At that moment, Prince Ma's animal instinct seemed to have made him realize what was in the porcelain bottle. Then he opened his mouth and actually wanted to bite the porcelain bottle into his mouth.

Zhou Xu did not stop him when he saw this. He raised his hand and poured the drop of blood essence in the porcelain bottle into the mouth of the Horse King.

After the blood essence entered his mouth, it slid down the Horse King's throat.

At the same time, the Horse King took two steps back.

Zhou Xu also pulled away from him and observed the Horse King's every move. Once something unusual happened, he would immediately activate the mantra of "beast soldier control" and control him by force!

During this process, the blood essence that entered his abdomen should have begun to take effect. The Horse King was obviously irritated and stepped on his feet.

Then, waves of heat visible to the naked eye rose from his body.

This scene was the first time Zhou Xu had seen it, and it also made him excited quickly.

"It's done, it should be done!"

The sweat-blood horse that failed to absorb the blood essence before, after eating the blood essence, convulsed and spasmed all over the place, and then died suddenly with blood flowing from all seven orifices. There was no such scene before.

During this period, Xie Liancheng and Ma Guotao, who heard this, were both very nervous. For a moment, they didn't know what to do.

Just as they were at a loss, along with the rising heat from their bodies, gradually, some mud-like things began to overflow from the pores of the horse king.

It was unknown how long this state lasted. Halfway through, the horse king could no longer stand and lay directly on the ground.

Xie Liancheng was nervous and anxious, but he didn't dare to approach easily.

Until the heat stopped rising, he hurried up to confirm the situation.

Probably sensing Xie Liancheng's concern, the horse king moved his head. He originally wanted to rub him, but he really had no strength.

Later, he simply collapsed completely and fell asleep.
