"Gone to sleep."
Seeing Xie Liancheng's tense expression, Zhou Xu explained.
"Back then, after Qiansui consumed the vital essence, it also slept for a long time before waking up. Based on my guess, they should be absorbing the power contained in the vital essence while they sleep, thereby completing their evolution."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu reached out and touched the fluid oozing from the surface of Horse King's skin.
It was sticky. He brought it to his nose and sniffed.
"Urgh—"
How should he put it? It was thoroughly horse-flavored.
Qiansui had never been like this after consuming the vital essence.
Zhou Xu gave the matter some thought.
This should be something like impurities inside Horse King's body. The heat that kept rising earlier was probably expelling the impurities. Qiansui had just been born back then, so its body was extremely clean and had no need for this?
Just as Zhou Xu was pondering this, Xie Liancheng's voice rang out.
"Hong, His Majesty, how long will this kind of sleep last?"
Xie Liancheng was so anxious that, for a moment, he failed to notice he had nearly called Zhou Xu by name in front of Ma Guotao.
After hearing him, Zhou Xu casually replied...
"Qiansui slept for roughly two or three months before waking up. You can use that as a reference."
As for how long Horse King would sleep, he truly had no idea.
During this time, Ma Guotao had already begun rubbing his hands excitedly at the side.
After dying and transmigrating, he had been delighted simply to open an even larger horse ranch here, raise more horses, and even breed warhorses.
But now that they had actually produced a warhorse of the exotic-beast level, one that might even be supernatural, and would later breed more horses
