Chapter 104 Hurry up
Lin Yuan waved his hand, called Jiu Yao and the oil bottle, gave a few words, and then pointed to the deep ditch not far to the west, Jiu Yao was stunned for a while, Lin Yuan said a few more words in her ear, and then Jiu Yao reluctantly led the oil bottle to run away, they found a way, and carefully slid along the steep mountain wall into the deep ditch.
This loess plateau, if you stand on a high place, at first glance it looks like a plain covered with thin grass, but when you get closer, you will find that on this loess plateau, there are countless thousands of ravines, as if it is like the wrinkles on the face of a centenarian, one after another.
Lin Yuan was at the height of the wrinkles at this time, and the group of wild horses were in the folds of the wrinkles.
"Are you crazy? Do you want to catch wild horses? Don't be silly! That would be a wasted effort! ”
Yu Zha hugged his arms, stood in the distance and said coldly to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan shrugged his shoulders and didn't look back, just said:
"How do you know if you don't try? Do you want us to go on for a few more months? It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity once we had horses......"
"Hmph......" Yu Zha snorted coldly and interrupted Lin Yuan's words:
"This animal is not as easy to tame as you imagined, you people of the plains and mountains, you don't know how fast the animals on the loess can run, just on your two legs? Hehe, I think, Fu Xi's bow and arrow may be able to catch up, but that is just a corpse, maybe we can have a few full meals, but tame? Haha......"
Lin Yuan sighed, he turned around and said to Raza:
"Strong man Raza, I know you have a lot of ideas, if you don't help, forget it, don't talk cool on the side, when we get back to catch a wild horse, don't expect us to let you ride!"
When Ganzha just wanted to say something more, Hou Yi rushed over, snorted, and stood between Lin Yuan and Ganzha, and he said loudly to Ganzha:
"Brother Raza, you may not know my King Yan, I promise you, he said that it can work, then it will definitely be done, brother, I promise you with my life!"
Yu Zha looked at Hou Yi's sincere eyes, sighed, and said:
"Okay, forget it, since you've all decided to do it, okay, I'll join, but before I said it, this animal is very strong, you are injured, don't blame me! As a guide, I have warned you beforehand. ”
Lin Yuan patted Hou Yi's shoulder, and then casually dropped a sentence: "It's okay, I don't need you to do anything too dangerous, you just need to follow my plan and run back and forth......
"Run?" He was stunned for a moment, he originally thought that this group of weak people in front of him would need him to take the lead or something, but now, Lin Yuan only let him run? This was really unexpected.
"Hou Yi, come here, your position is very critical, let me tell you about it......"
Lin Yuan put his arm around Hou Yi's shoulders and walked to the cliff, looking at everything under the deep ditch, Lin Yuan patiently and carefully instructed for a long time, and then Hou Yi began to prepare, he took out three different bows and arrows, large and small, from his luggage, and then sorted the various arrows into categories, placed them on the ground, and put them in a pile every ten steps or so.
He couldn't tell what kind of medicine Lin Yuan was selling in the gourd, he wanted to ask, but he was embarrassed to ask, so he hugged his arm, took a dry grass in his mouth, and looked at the sky in a daze.
"Strong man! Well, it's your turn! ”
Lin Yuan interrupted the closed eyes of the Worm Zha and handed the three torches to the Worm Zha Tree.
"It's ...... What's going on? He looked puzzled, "Do you want to make a fire?" It's not dark yet......"
"No, I'm asking you to take a torch and run around underneath......"
……
About half an hour later, at the bottom of the loess valley, a knee-high river flowed slowly into a pond near the mouth of the valley, surrounded by tall and juicy green plants, and a large herd of wild horses regarded this place as a stopover on their migration, stopping here to drink and eat.
There are not many animals on the high slopes of the loess, except for this group of wild horses, there are no large animals near the pond, only the occasional small bird that flies by, and the unknown lizard that crawls on the ground.
A few wild horses chased the young emerald green grass by the pond, and as they ate, they walked forward, and before they knew it, they were far away from their own group.
Suddenly a breeze blew, and a group of young wild horses raised their heads in confusion, and then lowered their heads indifferently, greedily munching on the tender grass by the pond.
The mother of the foal, a brownish-red mare, was visibly vigilant, and she raised her head, sniffed vigorously in her nostrils, and looked around vigilantly with her two big eyes.
The grass is slightly moving not far away, and there is a situation!
The mare neighed, and with the foal she turned and ran towards the herd, and behind them, the grass moved, and in an instant a man of five big and three thick jumped out, with a flaming torch in his hand, and let out a strange roar of madness, and rushed towards the herd.
The originally peaceful herd of horses was instantly frightened! The neighing, the roar, and the sound of horses' hooves were thought of everywhere, and the horses were thrown into disarray, and a puff of dust rose from the edge of the pond.
He lit another torch, one in each hand, and he raised his arms and roared loudly, and went crazy along the path between the cliff and the pond at the mouth of the valley.
The frightened horses instinctively ran in the opposite direction, but soon they found that in front of them was a muddy pond, although this pond was not large, but it seemed that the middle place was bottomless, and several brave stallions rushed in, and after walking two steps, suddenly their feet were soft, and the water instantly flooded the horses' chests, and they screamed and neighed, and hurriedly retreated.
The roar of the worm was getting closer and closer, and there was no way out in front of them, so the horses had to turn around and run beyond the depths of the canyon behind.
Wild horses are worthy of being creatures that live by speed, don't look at them so quiet when they eat, once they are frightened, the speed of running, far beyond the limit of humans, and these dozens of wild horses run together, the scene is huge.
With the dust in the sky and the slight tremors on the ground, Lin Yuan, who was lying on the ground, and knowing that his prey had fallen into a trap, he couldn't help but get excited.
You know, when he stood on the top of the canyon before, he had been observing this canyon for a long time, this is a typical canyon in the shape of an inverted pocket, a dead end, and the more you go inside, the narrower the passage becomes, and in the end, there is only a very narrow creek washed out of the groove to pass on, and that groove, people are very difficult to pass, not to mention the horses, it is impossible to pass at all.
So, it's a canyon that never goes back.
"Attention everyone! The beast is coming! Come on!! Ready to get started! ”
Lin Yuan stood on the side of the canyon and shouted loudly, then he jumped up, climbed the cliff wall of the loess, climbed to a depression that he had found in advance, and squatted there quietly observing below.
Gradually, the roar in the distance got closer and closer, and Lin Yuan and the herd of wild horses that could be seen galloping from a distance, led by a wild horse with a pitch-black body, its long mane fluttering in the wind, which was majestic.
That might be the King of Horses? An idea appeared in Lin Yuan's heart.
The group of horses that were running quickly came to the front in an instant, and saw wild horses galloping past Lin Yuan's feet, 23, 24, 25......
…… 31, 32 horses! There are 32 wild horses in total!
Lin Yuan counted carefully, until the last wild horse galloped past, and then Lin Yuan jumped off the cliff, he quickly turned out the dry grass that had been prepared long ago from both sides, and desperately pushed and pulled into the middle of the canyon.
Be quick, get this dead grass in place before the wild horses turn around!
Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart, he had already sent Jiu Yao and the oil bottle to the end of the canyon, and asked them to block the path at the end with stones, so that there would be no desperate wild horses from stepping on the corpses of their companions and rushing over.
So right now, he was the only one left, Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and tried his best to pile up the dead grass and dry wood he had just collected in the middle of the road.
Gradually, a barricade made of firewood and hay was formed in the middle of the road, Lin Yuan looked at it, and still shook his head, no, there is still too little firewood, so it is easy for wild horses to step over!
Suddenly, a hurried whistle came from the top of the mountain, which came from Hou Yi, who stood on a high place and could observe everything around him.
Lin Yuan hurriedly lay on the ground again, and heard a sound of running from far and near.
They're running back again!
Sure enough, as Lin Yuan expected, Jiu Yao successfully completed the task he assigned with the oil bottle, blocking the road to the canyon, and the group of wild horses saw that there was no way out, so they turned around and rushed back.
Fast! Be sure to be fast!
Lin Yuan went crazy, desperately searching for hay everywhere, and piled it up in the middle of the road.
This road must be blocked! Otherwise, all the work will be wasted! This herd of wild horses has been very seriously frightened, they have already begun to fight desperately, once they break through here, they will not be able to scare these wild horses again by just one person!
It has to be done!
Lin Yuan didn't have time to wipe the beads of sweat off his forehead with his hands, allowing the sweat to flow down his head and into his eyes, and he couldn't open his spicy eyes.
His hands and feet did not stop in the slightest, and he kept piling up the dry wood higher and higher......
It's almost done......
Suddenly, a puff of dust rose in front of his eyes, and then a deafening sound of horses' hooves was heard......
Broken! The wild horses have rushed to the front of them.
Lin Yuan looked up, and he found that the group of pitch-black horse kings were only 20 steps away from him, and he could even see the blood vessels bursting out of the wild horse's body.
Fire!
Lin Yuan suddenly felt stunned, his flint was still on the side of the cliff, and it was too late to run over now anyway!
Broken!
An idea popped into Lin Yuan's mind, he greatly underestimated the speed of this group of wild horses running, he didn't expect them to rush in front of him so quickly......
Just at the last moment, a "......swish" sound of breaking the air came, and an arrow was firmly pierced a step in front of the black horse king, shooting a stone, and with a snap, the stone exploded.
The king of horses was obviously startled, and he hurriedly turned around the exploding stone, but before he could think of it, there were more stones beside him that were broken by the bow and arrows, and there were also stones on the cliff wall of his face, which were shot to the bottom of the valley by the bow and arrows, and snapped...... Countless stones, large and small, rolled down and smashed into the herd.
The pace of the horses was slowed down.
This is the time!
Lin Yuan had already rushed to the side of the cliff, he took out the flint two or three times and lit the fire-starting withered grass that had been prepared in advance, and in an instant, a gust of wind blew, and the pile of dead wood in front of him ignited a raging fire.
But the wind was still not strong enough, and the fire spread too slowly, and seeing that the fire could not reach another part of the valley, the Mustang King seemed to see a way out, and he roared loudly, leaped, dodged Hou Yi's arrows, and rushed towards the gap that had not been ignited with a few horses.
Lin Yuan secretly said in his heart that it was not good!
"Wow, ahhhh......hh
Seeing the appearance of the canaper, Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh, he promised that if he had a camera in his hand now, he would take a photo of the cana, and it would not need to be enlarged, which was enough to make every child who saw it cry for three days and three nights!
That's just a vicious ......
"Worm! Throw the torches! Lin Yuan roared.
He shook slightly, and then saw Lin Yuan pointing to a section of dead grass in front of him that was not burning, he instantly understood, and threw it hard, and the blazing torch crossed the air and landed steadily on the dry grass.
There was a lack of water on the high slopes of the loess, and a large number of dead grass could be seen everywhere, which itself was extremely flammable, and coupled with the grease soaked in the torches, sparks flew everywhere, and suddenly, the dead wood burned.
Countless wild horses that had been running towards the gap stopped in an instant, afraid of the flames, which was the instinctive reaction of all living beings.
But the horse king seemed to be an exception, only to see the pitch-black horse king roar, leap forward, dodge a few arrows from Hou Yi, and run wildly in the direction where the horse was standing, and seemed to be getting faster and faster.
Dry! This beast is not afraid of fire??
Lin Yuan gritted his teeth, and at the same time rushed over.
He was still proud of the fire he had lit, and he crossed his waist and admired his masterpiece with satisfaction, the raging fire mixed with black smoke in the sky, so that he did not notice the king of horses galloping behind the fire.
"Be careful!! Lin Yuan roared, jumped up, and threw the worm to the ground, and the place where the worm was originally standing had been stepped out of a deep pit at this time.
It was the deep pit that the king of horses stepped out of when he crossed the fire fence, and the king of horses, full of sparks, had already run away without a trace, leaving only a smell of burnt fur in the air......
"I'm rubbing! Brothers! You just saved my life! ”
Yu Zha grabbed Lin Yuan's arm and said gratefully.
Lin Yuan nodded, didn't say anything, he looked at the direction of the horse king's escape, sighed, turned to a smile, split his mouth, and said with a smile behind the burning wall of fire:
"Forget it! After running away from the horse king, we still have more than 30 wild horses left in our hands! Haha......"
