Chapter 403: Ten Thousand Horses Galloping
Day 3.
The team dismantled all the tents.
With endless reluctance, they left this comfortable resting place, and once again burrowed into the waist-high dense grass, and hurried to the road one foot at a time.
Dark clouds lingered in the sky, and heavy rain poured down from the sky. The green prairie is shrouded in a hazy layer of rain and mist, and the beauty of the past is intoxicating at a glance.
But being in the middle of it is not a wonderful thing.
It forced more and more animals in the prairie to hide in caves, making it less and less prey, it made everything so wet that the bonfires could not be lit, and everyone had to devour raw meat and let the parasites multiply in their bodies, and it made the grassland muddy and made it more difficult to walk.
Most people have no mounts and can only walk on their feet, so the speed of the procession through the vast grassland can be called slow.
This kind of hard and boring life is repeated day by day.
Day after day.
There seems to be no end to it.
The team had accidentally sunk into a muddy wet soil.
The wet soil was covered with turf and lush weeds, and when you stepped on it, it felt like any other ground. But when hundreds of war beasts stepped on it, the whole piece of turf suddenly collapsed.
A large number of war beasts and men fell defenselessly, all of them into the muddy and sticky wet soil like a swamp.
The moa birds were covered in mud and trampled in the mud in terror, desperately trying to climb to the shore, and the brutes mooed and screamed, but their huge bodies sank deeper and deeper. Burrowing rabbits are short, and the sticky mud is the first to drown them......
The people standing in safety made a concerted effort to drag them out.
The situation was chaotic, the torrential rain blurred their vision, and at this moment, no one cared who they were saving, and they all dragged the people closest to them, and they were all focused on rescuing.
Everyone's faces were red and their necks were protruding, dragging the people and war beasts in the quagmire, and they pulled up vigorously with enough strength to feed. Silk spread out from the tree people, and under Ye Xi's suggestion, they tied up the people and war beasts in the center of the quagmire to prevent them from sinking.
The rescue lasted for half a day.
To everyone's pride, this time there was no one without a single war beast casualties, and the hearts of the people seemed to have become closer.
There were many other difficulties along the way.
When the candles ran out, and when the ticks got into the flesh again, they burned the skin with lit flints. Ticks treat men and women equally, so women are also exposed to the flame.
But the people who have survived until now, even if they are women, are also strong women, even if their skin is scorched by the fire, they grit their teeth and do not say a word.
Once again, we are experiencing food shortages.
In the most difficult times, they lay on the muddy loess, digging the ground and digging grass roots to eat. But even nibbling on the grass roots that have been drenched in the rainstorm, everyone can laugh and say to each other - it tastes so sweet!
Everyone gathered together to overcome the difficulties one by one, and the team continued to walk firmly towards the east.
In the endless grassland.
There is a loud singing voice that pierces through the endless rain curtain and penetrates the clouds—
"Looking for a hometown in the vast wilderness, where is the direction of the vast world
I'm not afraid of how depressed the road ahead is, I have a strong heart
I finally understood that hope was still ahead, and I didn't want to stay where I was
I'm going to take a step to find my dreamland, and the boiling never gets cold!
No matter how rough the road is, I will not give in!
I don't care if I fall
Roar! Roar!
No matter how much wind and rain there is in the world, I am unswerving!
Face it bravely and never run away
Roar!Roar!!"
The rainstorm was hard to cool and hot, and the difficult environment did not defeat everyone, and the more they walked, their morale became higher and higher, and they even shouted and sang while trekking.
"W-"
The giant buzzard spreads its wings and skims low over the savannah.
On its back, Ye Xi also sang in a low voice, echoing with each other below.
Because of the speed of the buzzard, the raindrops of soybeans smashed down like bullets, making his clothes crackle.
——This song is exactly what Ye Xi taught everyone.
When he was free, he wanted to inspire everyone, so he picked a song that he found more inspiring in his previous life, adapted the lyrics a little, and sang it to everyone. I didn't expect everyone to like it very much, and after learning it, they shouted it at every turn, so that the atmosphere is always impassioned now.
It's a long way to go, but we're all together, so it's not hard.
At this time, in the roar of everyone, there was suddenly a faint sound of horses.
Ye Xi's ears moved slightly, and when he looked back, he blocked the rain from his eyes with his hands, looking for the source of the horse's chirping.
The rest of the people did not notice the sound of the horse, and continued to roar excitedly.
Gradually, there was a dense drum beat in the distance, or the rumbling of thunder seemed to come from behind him. Louder and louder, louder and louder.
Now everyone heard it.
The team stopped singing and looked warily towards the place, raising their weapons in vigilance.
In the eyes of everyone, a majestic mist suddenly rose in the distance, like billowing monstrous dust.
And in this mist in the sky, I saw thousands of horses galloping towards here!
Between the four hooves flying, countless horses stepped on the torrential rain, proudly raised their heads, stretched their graceful postures, like the tide of the sea! so wanton, so free!
Ye Xi's body was shocked, and he finally knew what the shock of ten thousand horses galloping.
"The horse that started at the head...... It seems to be the king of the one-horned scale horses!"
The Ye tribe chief exclaimed.
As the distance narrowed, the others recognized the One-Horned Scaly King and lowered their weapons.
Seeing it, Chief Ye was very surprised, but he was also puzzled: "How could the one-horned scale horse herd suddenly become so large?"
She was also very excited, she clenched her fists and squinted her eyes, and saw through the majestic mist to distinguish them: "It's not just a one-horned scale horse, there are two more horses of other breeds in the herd!"
Ye Xi jumped off the back of the big buccard and said with a smile: "This one-horned scaly horse king has a long ability, where did he get such a huge herd of horses?!"
The huge herd of horses is getting closer.
With the exception of the one-horned horses, the horses they found were all oily black and shiny when they ran. Some of them are pale golden, and their brilliant sideburns are flicked with the run, and they are chic to the extreme, just like the nobles in horses.
Both of these horses are no less fast than the one-horned scale horse, and even when running in the savannah in the rainstorm, their posture is still fluttering out of the dust.
Under the excited gaze of the crowd, the horses stopped near them.
And the one-horned scaly horse king walked in front of Ye Xi with a kick.
"Phew—"
The One-Horned Scaly King threw his head up at him and let out a distant neigh.
Ye Xi was also pleasantly surprised to see it again, touched its mane and said, "It seems that you are doing well in this grassland......!
The One-Horned Scaly Horse King nodded, suddenly picked up Ye Xi's clothes, threw it on his back, and then ran wildly forward.
As if pressing a play button, all the horses rushed forward, picking up those who had no mounts one by one, and throwing them on their backs. And then, as before, the king who followed them ran forward.
"Hahahaha!!"
The Uighurs sat on the back of a black horse, their legs tightly clamped between the horse's belly, and they were so ecstatic that they could not control themselves, and could not believe that such a good thing could happen.
The others who did not have mounts were so stunned by this sudden surprise that they hardly knew how to react, but just hugged their horses by the necks with stupid expressions, and let the horses of these divine horses carry them towards the east at the speed of the wind.
