Chapter 503: War Horse
Under the jurisdiction of Longcheng, there are three satellite cities in Mongolia. Helan City is one of them, with the strongest heritage.
The lord of the city, Ilad, was a famous hero on the steppe before the end of the world. Awaken the ability after the end of the world and become a gifted evolutionary. Under his leadership, the Mongolian tribes were gathered and the corpses were cleared. At the foot of Helan Mountain, a settlement city was established, with a population of nearly two million, making it the largest settlement city in Mongolia. Its own strength is unfathomable, and it has the title of the first master of the Mongolian nationality, and its prestige is extremely high.
The Zhuoligtu family, to which Ilad belongs, has many people and a large number of people, but his own blood is very thin, with only one son and one daughter. The eldest daughter, Nuo Min, is twenty years old, talented, and an eighth-level mutant evolutionary, and is his most powerful helper.
The youngest son, Bagen, is just nine years old this year, the heir of the Zhuoligetu family, and is the most favored by the elders of the clan.
Now, the little Mongolian boy who was rescued by Li Ba from the zombie minions is Ilad's youngest son Bagan. As for the Mongolian girl who fought with him for most of the day, it was Ilad's daughter, Bagen's sister Nomin.
Nuomin is a Mongolian language, which translates into Chinese to mean jasper, or the pearl of the palm.
After confirming that Li Ba and the others were not sand thieves, Nuo Min immediately apologized. She has the heroic side of Mongolian children, love and hate, frank and straightforward.
"He who does not know is not guilty!"
It's all a misunderstanding. Of course, Li Ba won't bother with her.
After apologizing, Nomin immediately went to check on his brother Bagan's condition. At the sight of the striking laceration on Bagen's back, Nomin was full of distress. At the same time, after seeing that the wound was cleaned and medicated, the scab began to heal. She looked at Li Ba's gaze, full of gratitude.
"Your brother's injuries are out of the way!"
Li Ba arrived. A brief explanation of the situation. Later, he exclaimed: "He is young. When stimulated by a slight corpse poison, it enters a state of awakening...... Such an evolutionary talent. Rare! ”
Of course, Nomin also saw that his brother's body was hot, which was a sign of awakening. With joy in her heart, she once again expressed her gratitude to Li Ba. Then, he stood up and made a gesture at the giant eagle that was flying low in mid-air.
"Woo ......"
The flock of eagles seems to have received an order and immediately spread their wings and fly away. At the same time, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry around. Under the command of Nomin, they also began to spread out in formation, forming two columns along the north and south.
The siege was gone, and the two sides turned enemies into friends, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
"Distinguished guest, your great kindness, I will never forget!"
When he summoned a team of men and horses and took his younger brother Bagan away. Nomin extended an invitation to Li Ba. Her father's royal tent was thirty kilometers away, and she hoped that Li Ba and others would come to visit. Say thank you.
"It's better to be respectful than to obey!"
Li Ba smiled and nodded. He also wanted to see the demeanor of this Mongolian No. 1 master.
Subsequently, the Mongolian cavalry divided into two teams. A team of men escorted Bagan into a coma and returned first. The remaining team was led by Nomin. Lead Li Ba's team to the northeast.
The mutant tigers and leopards were put away, and one by one the mutant camels were released. The magic of the Soul Talisman. It was an eye-opener for Nomin and amazed. Fortunately, she is also an eighth-level evolutionary. Experiencing all kinds of incredible things in the last days, for the scene in front of you. Although it was shocking, it could still withstand it.
The Mongolian people are martial. For the strong, even the enemy will be respected from the heart. Not to mention, Li Ba and others are also great benefactors of Bagen.
Therefore, whether it was Nuo Min or the Mongolian men around him, when they accompanied him, they all cast admiring glances at Li Ba and the others.
The team galloped through the grasslands. Although the foot strength of the mutant camel is not slow, it is still too far behind the Mongolian cavalry. Nomin accompanied Li Ba, deliberately slowing down. Not time, but also chatting with Li Ba. Li Ba is talkative. Nomin is straightforward. The two talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Sister Nomin, you're a good horse!"
Li Ba smiled and looked at Nomin's mount, a horse with a mane as red as fire, and his tone was full of admiration. He had a keen eye and could see at a glance what was so extraordinary about this mutant horse. Its bones are thick, its head is large and its neck is short, its body is strong, and its spirit is extraordinary. In particular, this horse's body faintly exudes the breath of fire-based Yuan Force, which is furious and vigorous, showing that the evolutionary strength is extremely strong.
"This is Chihua!"
Nomin introduced with a smile. Her mount, Chihua, also known as the Fire Cloud Beast, is one of the three pure-blooded horse kings in the Mongolian realm.
At the same time, the Mongolian girl also explained why she had mistaken them for sand thieves before. The reason is simple, the horses ridden by the sand pirates belong to the meandering horses, which are small, medium in speed, and durable. From the outside, it looks similar to a Mongolian horse, but it can be recognized by an insider, and it is very different from a Mongolian horse.
Regarding the appreciation of famous horses, Li Ba doesn't know anything. Under the enthusiastic guidance of Nuomin, he carefully distinguished, and really saw the difference between the Mongolian horse and the Hequ horse.
"Mongolian horses are one of the oldest horse breeds, hardworking, not afraid of cold, extremely vigorous, able to survive in difficult and harsh conditions, and have always been the favorite military horses of our Mongolian people."
At this point, Nuo Min pointed to Li Ba's 100 iron cavalry guards, and said: "Whether it is the Hequ horse or the European horse ridden by these big brothers, the auxiliary ability that can be played on the battlefield is inferior to that of our Mongolian horses!" ”
Li Ba does not deny this. The Mongolian people are good at riding and shooting, known as the people on horseback, and the iron horse is famous, and once swept across the Eurasian continent. Among them, in addition to the Mongolian people are martial and the folk customs are fierce, the effect of the Mongolian horses is also great.
"Sister, are you selling the mutant horses in Helan City?"
Li Ba has always wanted to form a cavalry brigade under his own. It's just that good horses are hard to find. Although the southwest Miao area is rich in mutant horses, the Yunnan horse belongs to a small mountain horse breed. Sensitive and tame, suitable for mountain transport, not suitable for war horses. Although the European horses in Wujiabao are suitable for war horses, they are too small to be able to form a scale.
Entering the Mongolian realm, I saw the Mongolian horse, with a strong physique, fast running speed, and good at fighting, which is really the best choice for war horses. Li Ba's heart was itching, and he spoke tentatively at this moment, wanting to learn from Nuomin, a Mongolian girl, about the sale of mutated Mongolian horses raised in Helan City.
"Sell! However, the target is limited to Dragon City! ”
From Nuo Min's mouth, Li Ba learned that Helan City, a Mongolian autonomous city under the jurisdiction of Dragon City, would sell a batch of mutated Mongolian horses every month, and the cooperation objects were limited to a few large merchants in Dragon City. The mutant war horse is an indispensable and important strategic resource in the north, and Longcheng does not interfere in the military and political affairs of Helan City, but in terms of materials, it is also given a lot of restrictions.
The mutated Mongolian horses raised in Helan City are not allowed to be easily sold to the outside world. This is one of the agreements reached between Longcheng and Helan City.
Of course, this is only a gentleman's agreement between the two sides, and the autonomy is still in the hands of the Mongolian people in Helan City. Nuo Min has a straightforward personality, like a man, but he is thoughtful, and sees that Li Ba has the will to buy a mutated Mongolian horse, and gives a promise with a smile.
If he wants, everything is negotiable.
Li Ba was overjoyed when he heard this. Then he started asking for the price. According to Nuo Min, Helan City sells mutant Mongolian horses and adopts a barter method, and there is only one kind of material they need, which is the elixir.
The major merchants in Dragon City also used elixir to trade war horses with Helan City. As for other living materials, Helan City is basically self-sufficient, and there is no need for anything.
Elixir!
This is very difficult for others, and for Li Ba, his bracelet space stores a large number of elixirs, which were originally intended to be used and traded in Dragon City.
From Nuo Min's mouth, I learned the general situation of the transaction between Helan City and the merchants of Dragon City. An ordinary mutant Mongolian horse can be exchanged for a four-grade elixir. Mongolian horses have a strong bloodline, and they basically have a fifth-level evolutionary strength when they are adults. As for the fourth-grade elixir, it has the effect of assisting fourth-level evolutionaries to break through to the fifth level. Compared with the two, it seems that the value is about the same. But Li Ba knew in his heart that in a strict sense, the function that a mutated Mongolian war horse could play was far more precious than an elixir.
Obviously, this business is absolutely lucrative for those big merchants in Dragon City.
Judging from Nuo Min's statement, as long as he can come up with the elixir, Helan City should sell him the war horse. Elixir, Li Ba has a lot of it. Not to mention the fourth grade, even if it is a fifth, sixth, or even seventh-grade magic medicine, he can get it.
"Sister, do you sell this red horse?"
Since you buy, you have to buy the best. For the famous Chihua horse ridden by Nuomin, Li Ba was very greedy.
Nuo Min smiled slightly: "Brother Li doesn't know, the number of pure-blooded Chihua is extremely rare, and there are only a dozen in the entire Helan City, but it is the treasure of my Zhuoli Getu family, even if there are more elixirs, they will not be exchanged!" ”
Her meaning is obvious, Chihua is not for sale. After Li Ba heard this, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Seeing this, Nomin pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't say much.
As they walked along, the hairy monkey somehow slipped off the humpback and rode onto the back of Bagan's little red horse. Bagen is the heir of the Zhuoligetu family and the young master of Helan City. His little red horse is, of course, the Chihua foal that the Zoligetu family considers to be the most treasured. Although it has not yet grown, it is about the size of a horse before the end of the world. The hairy monkey rode it, without the slightest sense of disobedience.
Nomin saw this, and his face was amazed. She knows best Chihua's temper, and her temperament is as fierce as fire, and she will never allow anyone to ride except her master. It was surprising that this monkey was able to ride the mount of his younger brother Bagan.
Although, this monkey is unusual, and before turning into a giant beast, Nomin has also seen it with his own eyes. However, even if this monkey is a king-level mutant beast, if there is no special means, it is extremely difficult to get the horse king Chihua to submit to the recognition.
When Nomin's gaze turned to look towards Li Ba. Li Ba smiled and gave a sentence directly: "My monkey brother is the reincarnation of Bi Ma Wen, and subduing the fierce horse is his best ability!" ”
Perhaps it was because he heard Li Ba praising himself, and the hairy monkey was triumphant, leaning down and muttering in the ear of the little red horse. After that, the little red horse's front hooves were raised high, and after a neigh, it galloped away like a sharp arrow.
The speed was so fast that everyone saw a red shadow streak across the vast grassland.
"Let's go!"
I'm worried that this monkey will cause trouble. Li Ba hurriedly beckoned his companions, sped up his speed, and chased after him. (To be continued.) )
