Chapter Eighty-Four: Catching Horses

Rosewood was in charge of extinguishing the campfire she had just used, and now her stomach was still rumbling, which made her really uncomfortable, and she had to blame herself for being blind and strong.

It was not clear when the three people who entered the ruins of the laboratory would return from the investigation, Ling Wenxuan instructed her and Youna to catch a few wild horses, and joked that Yuna's horse taming skills were very high, but Gui Xun'er didn't see how powerful the weak woman of the Wai clan around her could be.

"By the way, what spells do you use, or what kind of combat skills do you have? After cleaning up the bonfire, she turned to face Yuna, and she pulled out the magic sword at her waist, wanting to see how much Yuna was capable of.

"Sister Xun'er, what are you doing here?" Yuna took a few steps back in shock.

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to talk to you. Gui Xun'er hunched over, clenching the magic sword with both hands in a fighting stance, "Summoning your weapon, or do you want me to make the first move." ”

"I don't understand what you mean. ”

"Then Hugh blames me for being rude. ”

As she spoke, she swung out two sword qis, but Yuna didn't have the slightest blocking action and defensive posture, she quickly withdrew her hand when she saw the situation, and with a wave of one hand, the sword qi deflected, and then left two deep marks on the tree behind Yuna.

"Are you a Salo?" Seeing that Yuna closed her eyes in fright, Gui Xun'er quickly put her sword back into its sheath and walked in front of Youna, "I'm sorry, did I hurt you just now?"

Yuna shook her head and asked, "Sister Xun'er, what do you mean by Salo?"

"It's a term for people who don't know how to spell or fight, and who don't practice to improve their combat power for reasons like their own or their families. "Why don't you know these two necessary skills?" I really don't understand why, with the wisdom of the priest, I trust you, a woman of unknown origin and no combat power, so much. ”

"What exactly are spells and combat skills?" Yuna blinked in confusion.

"I almost forgot that you lost all your memories. So Rosewood patiently explained to Yuna in detail about spells and combat techniques.

Yuna nodded and said, "I see, that's the case! Wouldn't it be a great disadvantage for those who fought with pure body skills or only with weapons, dealing with spells or combat skills." ”

Gui Xun'er shrugged and said, "So you have to learn the combat skills and spells as soon as possible, otherwise you will only become a burden to us in the next journey." ”

Yu Na put her index finger to her lips and smiled: "But how bad it is to fight and kill! I believe that as long as the two sides can calm down and talk, there is no contradiction that cannot be resolved." ”

"You, you're really ......," Rosewood sighed helplessly, "It's not too early, we should set off to find some wild horses in the nearby forest, and then it's time to show you how to train horses." ”

"Just call me Xun'er in the future, I'm not much older than you. After just a few steps, Gui Xun'er turned her head and said.

The forest is quieter during the day than at night, but it is not lifeless, the birds sing on the branches, the cicadas perched on the trunks of the trees make loud noises, and when the skirts of the two of them brush the grass, frightened flying insects will fly into the sky in swarms, their posture like scattered dandelions, mixed with real dandelion seeds, real and fake.

With a flash of shutter, butterflies resting on the flowers, dead leaves dotted with the fields, and valleys connecting the peaks and peaks like rainbow bridges will all be transformed into perfect images of the photo, and of course, the horses in the low bushes not far away.

Horses are social animals, with their instincts to gallop across the endless wilderness, and it is rare to find horses in the mountains, and she guesses that these horses may have gradually adapted to mountain life in the harsh environment of survival of the fittest, which is good news for them, ordinary horses are easy to stumble on the way down the mountain, causing the rider to fall off the horse. This horse has four large soles of feet, and when running, it has a large contact surface with the ground, so it is not easy to slip.

The two men, about fifty miles from the herd, in the cover of the towering trees, looked like about twenty horses, all gathered together, some grazing quietly, some standing and napping, some neighing at their companions, and most importantly they were standing too dense for her to start.

"Hey, what method did you use to tame that white horse? Gui Xun'er took out a long rope that was set into a rope loop and asked Yuna in a low voice.

"I didn't do anything in any particular way, but a strange white bird was willing to help me, so he stopped on the back of the white horse and chirped a few times, and the white horse was willing to let us ride it. Yuna crouched down and smiled, "I also made friends with the white bird, named it 'Xiao Jiu', and the white horse is also a girl." ”

"Don't tease me, who would believe such a bizarre thing. Gui Xun'er smiled bitterly twice, "I see, I still have to rely on my magical 'horse rope', I have put a binding spell on the rope, even if the fierce horse encounters this rope, it has to surrender obediently." ”

Yuna worriedly advised, "Don't do this...... You're going to hurt them. ”

"Rest assured, the effect of the binding spell is only to reduce the speed of the horse's movement, and the horse that is trapped will only feel weak and unable to exert its strength. "This is the target, this stallion must be very unsociable if it is so waddling, and it is much easier to catch this short man." ”

With that, she adjusted her posture so that the leash on her head moved in a circular motion, and then rushed over with a lunge and threw the leash at the brown horse's neck.

The brown horse was startled, kicking its hooves and neighing violently, but the binding spell began to take effect, and its movements gradually slowed.

The surrounding horses were indifferent to the terrible cry of the brown horse, but looked at Rosewood with wary eyes, and it was not long before they scattered and ran away.

"It's pitiful, you've been abandoned by your companions. Seeing that the brown horse was no longer able to move, Gui Xun'er boldly stepped forward and stroked its sideburns, the frightened eyes of the brown horse were like a child who had just lost his parents, "I said earlier, the matter of catching the horse still depends on me, and the priest asked you to come just to act as a 'drag oil bottle'." ”

"No, you see how pitiful this horse is, let's let it go and catch another one. Yuna stepped forward nervously with her fingers together.

"How can that work, I promised the priest at least two horses, and now I have only caught one. "And the horses were scared away, it's very difficult to find their traces again, the horses have a very good memory, they all recognized our faces when they caught the horses just now, do you think they will let me succeed a second time?"

"You mean to take this horse and give it to the priest?"

Gui Xun'er spread her hands and said, "What else can you do? ”

Yuna also came to the other side of the horse's body and stroked the brown horse's sideburns: "Okay, we already have a horse, let's hand over this horse to Brother Mu and Sister Liu." ”

"Hand it over, what else am I riding your sister?" "You and the priest are riding the same horse, is it possible that I can't chase after you, how can the speed of a person be compared to a horse?"

"Isn't this unfair to Brother Mu and Sister Liu?"

Father Priest was so dark that I guess he didn't plan to catch those two horses in the first place. ”

Yuna stomped her feet, and her head seemed to be filled with anger: "I'm so angry, how can he be so selfish? I thought he was a kind and good person, but I really lost my eyes." ”

Gui Xun'er looked up to the sky and smiled: "This is the way of the priest's existence, otherwise why do you think he became a hero, as his student, I couldn't understand it at first, but now I think about it, his words are quite reasonable." ”

"Hmm...... Since Sister Xun'er believes in Father Priest, Yuna also chooses to believe in you. Yuna pondered for a moment, then whistled loudly at the brown horse.

"Hey...... Hey, what are you doing?" "You said don't call me Sister Xun'er, really, do you think that if you whistle, this horse will let us ride it?"

"I just tried to soothe it. ”

"Well, whatever you want, if you find it useful......"

Before she could finish her sentence, the sound of flapping her wings came from the sky, and a large white bird hovered down from above and landed on Yuna's shoulder.

"This ...... Is that the white bird you're talking about?" was so surprised that she almost couldn't speak.

"yes! It's just a little chirp, I didn't expect whistling to really work. Yuna happily stroked Shiratori's jaw, "If I have something to look for you in the future, I will whistle to indicate that I understand?"

"Chirp...... Chirp...... Chirp. The white bird called three times in a row, making Gui Xun'er a little curious about how the man and the bird were talking.

"Can it understand what you're saying!"

"I don't understand, but at least it understands what I'm trying to do. Yuna smiled and raised her hand, and the white bird flew out, and docked on the back of the brown horse, chirping like a song.

With the call of the white bird, the brown horse fell silent, its eyes returning to its original luster, and it was no longer hostile to the two.

"Chirp...... Chirp" The white bird that flew back to Yuna's shoulder chirped briskly.

"It means to tell us that the horse has agreed to let us ride it. ”

"It's really a divine bird!" Looking at Yuna's crimson face, Gui Xun'er couldn't help but sigh, "Maybe this bird knew you before, otherwise why would he want to help you for no reason?"

"I don't know, I'm weird, but Xiao Jiu is really good, isn't it?" Yuna raised her arms and let Shiratori fly off into the distance.

"Well, the horses are here, it's time to get back to the camp, and the two officers want to ride and let them catch them themselves. She unleashed her horse, tied the reins to the brown horse, and led the horse back the way she came.

But as soon as she stepped into the woods, she heard sparse footsteps, and she quickly tied the reins of the horse to a tree next to her, pressed Yuna's head to make her lie down, and made a gesture of low motion.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Gui Xun'er estimated that there were at least about 100 people on the other side, and it must be the maritime supervisors who found out where they were and surrounded them. Now we must return to the camp immediately and inform the priest who is still investigating in the Jialian Mountain laboratory.
