Chapter 52 Horses in the Wild Land Eat Meat

The chicks of wild birds, also wild animals.

The wild animals that have not been domesticated seem to have a kind of wildness and arrogance in their bones, and in one night, half of the chicks brought back by Mo Ren yesterday died, all of them crashed into the wall and died, and they died very heroically.

As a result, early in the morning, Mo Ren's eyes were red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or crying.

"Trials are all attritional, and not all wild animals are as stupid as this group of roe deer, so what you need is patience and look for the commonalities of these birds." Wang Xu put down the roast pigeon and said to Mo Ren, who was kneeling on the ground and pleading guilty, "Get up." ”

"I beg the Emperor to let me go again today." Mo Ren glanced at Wang Li and the others, who were happily roasting the chicks on the other side, and knocked on the ground with one head and said in a muffled voice.

"Not today, I don't have time to catch birds with you today." Wang Xu shook his head, "That's it, do you remember the situation in the wetland yesterday?" You can start by designing your aviary like that. ”

"Then the chicks won't die?" Mo Ren's eyes lit up.

"I don't know, you can try, how do you know if you don't try." Wang Xu shrugged his shoulders: "By the way, take someone to lay a wooden track below." ”

Mo Ren happily received the order to go to work.

"It's okay for this fool to raise roe deer and pigs, but it's not okay to meet such a wild bird, I think you should find another bird." Wang Li scoffed.

"Although the art of domestication is different, it is the same way, as long as you find the law. It was because the roe deer and the mountain were so easy to raise that he tried to tame chickens and ducks. Wang Xu shook his head, "Let's travel lightly today, and try to take a look around that side, I think there may be other animals on the other side." ”

"Waiting for the rabbit?" Wang Li raised his eyebrows and said.

"If a rabbit shows up, it will knock itself out under the tree." Wang Xu chuckled and pulled out a piece of white war horse, which was Tu Tan's mount.

Wang Xu can ride a horse, and he rides well, but he rides a horse with a saddle and stirrups, and there was no such thing as stirrups during the Qin Dynasty, and even the saddle was sackcloth tied to the horse.

The significance of stirrups and saddles for cold weapons is that the significance of cavalry is earth-shattering, and before he is ready, Wang Xu is not ready to take out these two things, but he wants to ride a horse, so he can only secretly hang two pieces of leather on both sides of the horse mat to make a simple and unnoticeable horse ring, so that he can control the horse normally.

If you don't look closely, it's hard to find Wang Xu stepping on a leather ring with two feet.

Although Wang Xu was not injured yesterday, it still caused the worries of Mo Kui and others, so today Tu Tan is responsible for protecting Wang Xu's safety.

There were still forty horsemen, but today everyone was dressed in thin wooden armor and wooden armor, boasting a bow and a sword and preparing to go.

When he came to the wetland, the wetland had regained its vitality from yesterday, and it was the first time to see such a huge flock of birds, Tu Tan said he was shocked.

"Let's take a detour." Wang Xu smiled and led the way towards the forest.

"That's what you fought with these flat-haired beasts yesterday?" Tu Tan asked the Zhu family with a smile.

"We've annihilated a lot." The Zhu family's face was not red, and he said with his ears not red.

"It's a fierce battle." Tu Tan laughed and said, "But this is indeed a treasure land of feng shui, Emperor, why don't we set up a grazing area here?" The water and plants here are abundant. ”

"It's a bit far away, even if the wooden track is paved, it will take half an hour to get there." Wang Xu shook his head, "But if there are more of us in the future, we can consider setting up a small town here to specialize in grazing." ”

"The tree here is not as tall as next to Chaoge City." Tu Tan looked at the trees around him and said.

"That only shows that this land is not as old as that over there." Wang Xu smiled: "The vicissitudes of life." ”

"You mean, this land used to be the sea?" Wang Li raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I guess so." Wang Xu nodded.

"Are we really living on the back of a giant tortoise?" Wang Li asked curiously.

"The turtle carrying the mainland was killed by Nuwa to make up for the sky." Wang Xu chuckled, and before he finished speaking, a guard in front of him suddenly stood up with a war horse under his crotch, causing panic in the team.

"What's that?" Wang Xu clamped the horse's belly, grabbed the reins, and frowned at an animal that came out of the bushes in front of him.

A cub with dark brown fur and the size of a goat stood up and roared at the group.

"Wild bears?" Wang Li's eyes lit up, and he was about to shoot with his bow, and an arrow pierced the bear's chest.

"Mink bear." Wang Xu looked at the little bear that Mo Ding had brought over, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It seems that this side has indeed entered the territory of the beast's breath, since there are mink bears, maybe there are other fierce beasts, everyone be vigilant." ”

"This thing isn't going to be in droves too, is it?" The Zhu family, who suffered a big loss yesterday, asked cautiously.

"No, this thing basically lives alone, but it can't be ruled out that other animals don't live in groups." Wang Xu smiled and took the lead in riding his horse and continuing to walk.

Ten minutes later, through the forest, the field of vision became wider, and a larger plain wetland appeared in front of everyone, along with a herd of red deer, yellow sheep, and even a herd of wild horses roaming above, in short, at a glance, the wetland is simply a natural pasture rich in species, conservatively counting, these herbivores are at least more than 2,000.

Even a herd of deer and horses is far more intimidating than the flock of birds next to it.

Everyone subconsciously slowed down their horses, and they didn't dare to get out of the forest easily.

"It is indeed a blessed land." The Zhu family chuckled.

"How can there be wild horses here?" Wang Li took the binoculars and looked over, and asked, "And I feel that the wild horses here are taller than those in Qindi." ”

"The birthplace of wild horses is on the other side of this land, in the direction of Liaodong County, 17,000 years ago, the primitive people there relied on hunting this kind of wild horses, and they were called Dalian Horse Hunters." Wang Xu's eyes flashed with a different color.

It was really a huge surprise to find a herd of wild horses, originally he thought that the wild horses in the northeast should have been eaten by the early Yin merchants to the Far East of Mongolia and even Xinjiang, after all, the primitive people in the eastern Liaodong region have been eating horse meat for more than 1,700 years.

But I didn't expect that there was a small population here, although it seemed to be less than a hundred, but it was also a very important strategic resource, especially since there were more than a dozen foals among them.

Adult wild horses are basically impossible to tame, and can only be used to breed to optimize genes.

However, wild horses are fierce, and they don't have to be bad for moose at all, and if you want to capture these little wild horses, you may pay a lot of price.

"Want? Leave it to me. Obviously feeling Wang Xu's greed for the wild pony, Wang Li said with a smile.

"It's definitely not going to work, you may not believe it, these deer and horses who can live in peace here will fight the enemy together when they are in danger, and that leopard is an example." Wang Xu shook his head, and as soon as he finished speaking, there was a dull cry like a cow mooing in the distance.

A leopard with fur as bright as brocade and shining like gold in the sun attacked a lone takain, and was found by the cow, frantically driving out the leopard.

The takin is a large bovid, but it looks more like an antelope, but it is huge, the male can weigh up to a ton, and although it looks bulky, it can run very quickly.

Of course, there can't be any faster than the Golden Leopard.

More than a dozen huge takins chased and intercepted the leopard, staging a wonderful wild chase battle.

However, the leopard is obviously experienced, relying on its dexterity to sneak the takin around.

"Is this beast sperm good? There will even be a war of attrition? Wang Li's eyes widened in surprise.

"What's even stranger is that not a single wild deer or wild horse escaped." The Zhu family also sighed.

"Because these animals have formed a sense of territory here, they are the masters here." Wang Xu smiled.

Although the chase between the takin and the leopard attracted the attention of the other animals in the wetland, everyone seemed to be surprised, and they stopped paying attention to it and continued to do their own thing.

If it is an ordinary herbivore, even if the group is large, it will be born with a genetic instinct for predators, and flee in all directions.

But the performance of the herbivores here is obviously that they have formed a sense of territory, and can even ignore the invading beasts, so it can be seen that this wetland should be the ancestral land where they thrive.

More than a dozen male takins were exhausted by the leopard, and their speed had already slowed down, and the little takin, which had been bitten and retreated, lay helplessly on the ground and wailed, but no other takin went up to help.

Because in the consciousness of the animals, the injured cubs cannot survive, and the male takin's attack on the leopard is not to take revenge, but to defend their territorial rights.

However, there are exceptions, if the mother of this poor little takin is a sentimental takin, it is possible to stage a touching, never abandoning the mother's love plot.

But unfortunately, the mother of this little takin seems to be a little indifferent.

Just when the golden leopard's claws grasped the little takin's body again, and the sharp teeth were about to pierce its tiny neck veins, a hiss like a tiger's roar sounded, and a brown-black figure rushed towards the golden leopard like a cannonball, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed to the side of the golden leopard, and the big hooves of the bowl stepped on the head of the golden leopard.

The golden leopard, who had no time to react, instinctively dodged the fatal hoof, but was still kicked in the shoulder, let out a miserable and sharp roar, rolled twice on the ground, and struggled to crawl into the forest to escape.

But the brown-black mustang was not ready to let it go, and one turned and flicked its tail, and kicked the leopard away with its hind hooves.

The body of the golden leopard of more than 200 catties was kicked into the air like a leather ball, and this time it didn't even make a sound, and what was even worse was that after falling to the ground, it was run over by the takin that rushed over like a road roller.

Even at a distance of 100 meters, Wang Xu still saw that the leopard was stepped on like a balloon that exploded.

The sound of gasping cold air in his ears told Wang Xu that he was not the only one who was shocked.

"Look, let's just say that it can't be hard, now do you feel the danger in the wild?" Wang Xu looked at Wang Li and the Zhu family, who were pale, and said with a smile, "This is a real wild land, and the wild horses here sometimes do not eat grass, but eat meat, which is different from the prey you hunted before." ”

"How can ye be afraid of these herbivorous beasts!" Wang Li was furious when he heard this, feeling humiliated by Wang Xu, and commanded with a red face, "You guys, dig a pit for me, dig more!" ”
