Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 2081 Lack of Knowledge

The opponent was willing to tear off a piece of his own flesh to escape, and faced with this situation, Badler and his team lost all means of pursuit.

Then, they contacted the naval base by radio as quickly as possible and reported the situation to Zhou Xu.

It's not uncommon to encounter extraordinary creatures in newly discovered sea areas.

What's strange is that the other party actually crashed into him.

As previously mentioned, supernatural beings basically possess intelligence similar to that of humans. They know how to weigh the pros and cons, and generally choose to avoid forces of their size rather than charging directly into them.

Because they know very well that once you provoke them, or even just reveal your whereabouts to them, you may attract endless trouble.

This is also the fundamental reason why it is difficult to encounter extraordinary beings under normal circumstances. Before you even reach that area, they have already discovered your presence and left in advance, so of course you won't encounter them.

In this situation, Badler judged that supernatural beings like these, who would charge straight at them and attack, were either strong or stupid, and ultimately concluded that they were stupid.

However, there is another possibility regarding Zhou Xu: that he is 'inexperienced'.

This sounds a bit ridiculous, but it actually reveals a message.

That is, the other side may have never encountered ships before, so they did not know what the existence of ships represented. After discovering that outsiders had invaded their territorial waters, they launched an attack without hesitation.

Of course, to some extent, this can also be considered foolish.

But if that's really the case, then it's actually a good thing for their Great Zhou.

This means that there are likely no large-scale forces in the area where they are located, and the extraordinary creatures they encountered earlier have been successfully repelled.

This time, the other party narrowly escaped death from their clutches. Anyone with a brain wouldn't dare to provoke them again.

During this time, Zhou Xu did consider dealing with or even incorporating the other party into his ranks.

But this is not a good thing. Unless the other party comes to him on their own initiative, even if he, a Nascent Soul stage mage, takes action, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Of course, they actually had another option: to transfer their sea beast troops stationed on Dark Spirit Island and Elf Port.

The problem now is, how do he get transferred here?

Ideally, we would travel by sea, but that's not possible at the moment.

As early as when the fragments of this world were first pieced together, Zhou Xu had already confirmed that the fragments of the world at the Elf Port had not been pieced together and that the pieces that were pieced together were not the same.

Given this premise, from a geographical perspective, the Elf Port and the Northeast Port are not located in the same direction.

Since the sea route is currently impassable, the only option for relocation is by land.

Krakens are purely marine creatures and cannot be brought ashore, so they cannot be moved at this stage.

Hydra Delar is amphibious, but given his mountain-like size, the goblin airships simply can't carry him, so he has to cross the desert on his own.

"Crossing the desert?"

Zhou Xu began to have doubts.

This idea does seem outrageous, but in practice, it's not entirely impossible.

Extraordinary beings at the Vajra Realm level possess extremely strong adaptability and vitality.

If we provide Delar with enough fresh water, it doesn't seem like a bad idea to let him cross the desert.

But how much fresh water would that require? Not even enough for a whole fleet of vehicles, right?
The transportation costs for this trip are likely to explode.

Regarding this issue, Zhou Xu planned to reconsider it later. Until then, he quickly ordered the Northeast Navy, led by Badler, to continue their mission, and the piece of flesh was directly awarded to them. The flesh of extraordinary beings contains energy; generally, the stronger the extraordinary being, the more abundant the energy contained within its flesh.

Considering that the opponent is most likely to be at the Transcendent Realm, this level of flesh and blood, while far from being a panacea, is definitely high in nutrition and protein for martial artists.

Of course, more importantly, when flesh and blood are torn off, or when a supernatural being dies, the energy contained within the flesh and blood will rapidly dissipate over time.

In other words, they were basically given directly to the soldiers on the spot.

Badler was clearly aware of this as well. They had already lit the fire, and after confirming the arrangements via radio, they immediately began to cut the huge piece of meat into pieces, briefly roasted it over the fire, and then stuffed it into their mouths.

There's no way around it; the slower you handle the meat, the lower its value.

To be honest, this stuff isn't tasty.

Just by thinking about the physical strength of that extraordinary creature, you can tell how tough its flesh is to bite.

Given this premise, they haven't had time for meticulous processing, so the taste is naturally worse.

A martial artist at the Hundred Refinements Realm has a large appetite. When he eats freely, without counting vegetables and carbohydrates, Badler can eat six or seven pounds of meat a day.

But after eating two pounds of the flesh of this extraordinary creature, he felt he couldn't eat anymore.

This stuff is really filling, and after eating it for a while, his cheeks were sore from chewing so much.

He knew this from the beginning, so he generously distributed it to his soldiers.

The piece of meat looked quite big, but when everyone shared it, each person only got about a bite or two.

It's just a token amount. Like I said before, this stuff isn't some kind of magic pill. Don't expect to break through anything by eating a couple of bites.

After eating, at most you won't need to eat dinner, and you'll also have something to brag about when chatting with others later.

Thinking about this, the soldiers ate with great enjoyment.

During this period, the Northeast No. 1 ship, which had not even officially set sail yet, undoubtedly had to return to port ahead of schedule.

Although the shipwrights found no damage to the inside of the cabin after inspection, they still had to go back and inspect it as a precaution.

Meanwhile, inside the Hall of Diligent Governance, Zhou Xu, having issued the orders, began to seriously consider the matter of transferring the Hydra Delar over.

The crux of the matter is that the cost is a bit outrageous, and at present, it is even somewhat impossible to estimate.

After much hesitation, Zhou Xu finally decided to abandon the idea for the time being.

On the one hand, the cost is indeed high. Their internal development efficiency has already decreased, and if they were to do something like this, it would be even more troublesome.

On the other hand, it's because in two or three years at most, the fragments of the world on the Shadow Isles will be pieced together.

Who knows, once the fragments of that world are pieced together, the two seas might connect?

Even though it's a long distance, it's still easier than crossing the desert.

As for what if the connection fails...

If it doesn't connect, then we'll see.

With so many things in the world, how could he possibly consider them all?
As for the problems in the northeastern sea area before that, there were actually solutions, and Zhou Xu already had an idea in mind.
