Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 221 Choice
Zhou Xu, who was struggling with who to concentrate resources on cultivating, suddenly came back to his senses at the shouts of his subordinates, and subconsciously looked at the saber-toothed tiger's corpse.

At this moment, the sun was shining down, making people wonder if it was the reaction of the sun shining on the saber-toothed tiger.

This is also the main reason why the subordinates raised their heads and lowered their heads for a while, confirming back and forth several times.

[Eye of insight! 】

In order to make sure, Zhou Xu directly activated the 'Eye of Insight'.

After looking at it, I saw that the saber-toothed tiger was indeed emitting a layer of faint fluorescence, and that layer of shimmering light was still warm yellow, almost blending with the winter sun. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to distinguish it at all.

Zhou Xu, who caught this layer of twilight, couldn't help but speed up his heartbeat.

"Good guy, is this..."

While muttering to himself, Zhou Xu stepped forward quickly, and stretched out his hand towards the glowing corpse.

In the next second, as if drawn by some invisible force, the shimmering light turned into a wave of energy and directly penetrated into Zhou Xu's body.

[System Reminder: Congratulations to 'Zhou Xu' for obtaining the mantra 'Beast']

Zhou Xu never expected that there was a mantra in the saber-toothed tiger's body.

Compared to this, he wasn't surprised at all that he didn't notice the existence of this mantra last night.

As an important force lurking in this world, Zhou Xu has undoubtedly done enough research on the "truth". While collecting information from his subordinates, he also made many reasonable speculations and analyzes based on the information.

Now he has a certain degree of understanding of the 'truth'.

This symbolizes the light of the power of the mantra, whether it will appear or not depends on two aspects.

One is the strength of this 'mantra'.

Simply put, the higher the intensity, the brighter the light.

To give a simple example, when the 'eyes of insight' were attached to the eye sockets of the skull, they were completely two flickering fireflies, which anyone could clearly see.

On the other hand, some of the mantra characters encountered later had a faint light, so faint that if he hadn't opened the "eye of insight" to improve his insight ability, he might not have noticed it.

Another aspect is time!
This refers specifically to creatures that have absorbed the power of the mantra.

Once the power of mantra is absorbed, it will be integrated with the host, the higher the fit, the more thorough the fusion.

Under this premise, if the host dies, the thoroughly fused mantra will not come out immediately, but will slowly gather over time and then come out.

As long as the time is long enough, even a faint mantra can form a light cluster, which can be seen by anyone.

As for the mantra on the saber-toothed tiger, it is clear that it has a high degree of fit, but it hasn't been long enough, and it is basically fused into the saber-toothed tiger's body. At this moment, it has not yet reached the point where it can gather into a light ball and then escape.

However, the mantra power itself will attract each other. When the original host is dead, Zhou Xu, who has stronger mantra power, is like a huge magnet. As long as he gets close, the mantra power in the saber-toothed tiger will be attracted to him.

Of course, what happened this time was a bit unexpected for Zhou Xu.

He didn't expect that extraordinary creatures could also carry mantras.

In any case, Zhou Xu already had some thoughts in his mind about the newly obtained mantra.

But right now, his main attention is still on the blood essence of the saber-toothed tiger.

"continue."

After absorbing the power of the mantra, Zhou Xu raised his hand, signaling his subordinates to continue working.

With previous experience, the person in charge of the dissection is quite nimble. He directly cut open the saber-toothed tiger's belly, pulled out all the internal organs, and then took out the heart that was still alive!
This heart looks unusual, which makes Zhou Xu more convinced that there is something in it!

While this thought flashed through his mind, he quickly glanced at Chitose beside him, and as expected, at this moment, the little thing Chitose stopped licking his paws, and his eyes were fixed on the heart that was held out.

"Chitose?"

Zhou Xu tried to call its name.

Chitose is very smart, able to understand his own name, saw its ears move, then opened a pair of eyes like copper bells, tilted its head and looked at Zhou Xu, as if asking 'what are you calling me for? '

Zhou Xu didn't speak, just reached out and touched its head.

Regarding this, Chitose rubbed against him habitually, and then quickly shifted her attention to the sabre-toothed tiger's heart.

During the period, the anatomy personnel cast a questioning look at Zhou Xu.

After all, they also knew that Chitose had eaten that drop of blood before, and now that Chitose was sitting beside him staring at him like a tiger, they couldn't decide whether to do it or not.

Seeing the planner's thoughts, Zhou Xu nodded and signaled them to do it.

The approved planer didn't hesitate any longer, and after getting a person ready with a pottery bowl, he swiftly cut open the saber-toothed tiger's heart.

At that moment, along with the overflowing blood, Zhou Xu clearly saw a drop of blood slowly falling down like a ruby.

At the same time, he also clearly felt that Chitose's body tensed up quickly, as if he was about to rush out at any moment.

"Chitose?"

Zhou Xu called it out again, interrupting Chitose's movements, and Chitose turned his head again and focused on him.

During this process, the drop of blood essence had been firmly received into the pottery bowl.

Turning his head, Chitose looked at the blood essence that had fallen into the pottery bowl, and then at Zhou Xu who was standing beside him.

I don't know if this little clever ghost realized that the key was on Zhou Xu, so it simply rubbed against Zhou Xu and acted coquettishly.

This situation made Zhou Xu dumbfounded for a while.

He had thought about the situation where Chitose suddenly rushed out to swallow that drop of blood, but he never thought that things would turn out like this.

This little guy really doesn't talk about Wude.

The saber-toothed tiger's blood, like a liquid ruby ​​the size of a soybean, flowed slowly at the bottom of the bowl as the pottery bowl shook.

Looking at this drop of blood, and then looking down at Chitose who was acting coquettishly, Zhou Xu sighed.

"Forget it, here you go."

While speaking, Zhou Xu squatted down and put the bowl in front of Chitose.

At that moment, Chitose's state can be described as his eyes shining, and he couldn't wait to lick that drop of blood into his mouth immediately.

To make this decision, Zhou Xu actually thought about it a lot.

Under the circumstances at that time, if Chitose disregarded his wishes and directly robbed him, then he would definitely not give it.

But the fact is that under the circumstances at that time, when he called it, Chitose would still turn his head to confirm his situation first, which showed that his status in Chitose's heart was higher than that drop of blood.

This is one of the most core reasons.

As for other additional reasons, of course there are.

For example, Chitose has already swallowed a drop of blood essence. Instead of spreading resources, it is better to concentrate resources to cultivate Chitose.

For example, compared to Zhou Zhongshan who is a human being, the compatibility between Chitose and this drop of blood should be higher, and the effect may be better...
