Chapter 70: The Herd

The convoy drove on the vast grassland, dragging a long line.

At the suggestion of the crow, after a detour of dozens of kilometers, the convoy passed safely through the area infested by giant earthworms. However, the convoy did not stereotypically detour back to the original route, in fact, in the grassland where there is no road, there was no established route, as long as you keep walking in the direction of the Jiaoli corridor, no matter which road you choose, you can reach the destination.

In the afternoon grassland, the sun is raging, the temperature is getting higher and higher, looking up, the sky is still so blue, but the scorching temperature makes the light begin to distort, adding a hazy color to the blue sky and white clouds.

Sheep and deer were leisurely bowing their heads to water by the pond that could be seen from time to time, and the convoy passing in the distance did not startle them, only a few strong males raised their heads and watched the convoy away with wary eyes.

Under the lonely prairie trees, carnivorous beasts lie on the edge of the bushes, lazily hiding in the shade, squinting and enjoying the afternoon, these beings at the top of the food chain are still hungry, and do not want to hunt down their prey in the hot weather, which will only make their situation more difficult, it is better to take a nap in the shade comfortably, and wait until the evening for the second round of the day. When the convoy passed, the beasts only moved their ears and did not even open their eyes, but a few curious cubs chased the back of the convoy and let out childish howls.

A black cloud came from afar against the ground, accompanied by the shaking of the ground and the louder and louder roar, and in the blink of an eye, a herd of hundreds of members of the horse had appeared in front of him, these wild horses were much taller than the pre-disaster era, at least about three meters, it was clear that they were not ordinary wild horses, but alienated beasts. The leading black horse was tall and strong, its supple mane fluttering in the wind, its oily skin glowing golden in the sun, and behind it, hundreds of wild horses galloped across the steppe with neat steps, like a well-trained army, invincible.

The sound of hooves sounded, the herbivores had already given way to the path of the horses, and the carnivorous creatures had to avoid it, even the brave lions and the cunning steppe wolves did not dare to fight the horses at will.

The head horse suddenly raised his front hooves and raised his head with a long neigh, and then his four hooves began to accelerate violently, and the horses followed closely behind, diagonally towards the convoy and chased after them. This is the bad habit of this kind of wind chasing horses, there is nothing faster than them, once they find the existence of faster speed, they will be unremittingly chased, do their best to surpass the opponent to be satisfied, some people once described, even if they encounter the wind, they will chase to their heart's content, so they are named the wind chasing horses.

One of the easiest ways to deal with this herd is to slow down a little and let the herd overtake you, they will lose interest in the convoy and turn in other directions, if they refuse to slow down, then wait for a long race with the herd, and the small vehicles in the convoy can be knocked over by the surrounding mustangs at any time, which is extremely dangerous.

The horses quickly caught up with the convoy, separated left and right, and on both sides of the convoy and the convoy went hand in hand, and the mercenaries on the cart could see that the horses and their manes were everywhere under the car, and the thunderous hooves were all around.

A shadow suddenly appeared in the sky above the horses, and a crow dressed in black fell from the sky, circled around the horses for a while, and then rushed to the leading black horse, standing firmly on the back of the black horse.

On the ground, between the staggered hooves of the horses, a black shadow deftly shuttled and ran, and the constant trampling of the horses' hooves did not pose a threat to her at all, so she could only watch her shuttle among the horses unharmed. The running female leopard suddenly jumped high, borrowed strength from several horses in succession, and finally rushed forward, and in the blink of an eye, she crossed the head horse and ran recklessly at the front of the herd, leaving only a mocking back to the horses behind.

Sure enough, the head horse was so furious that he didn't even bother with anything more on his back, and increased his speed again, and chased the female leopard's back frantically, and the same kind of people behind him followed him inch by inch, and had already left the decelerating convoy behind.

"Uh, Sister Rose. Mi Xin stood on her SUV and used her binoculars to observe the behavior of the two madmen in front of her. In fact, there are not many people who are willing to play with the wind chasing horses like this, they are strange beasts after all, and they instinctively carry the power of source energy in their gestures, and it is not easy to be trampled by their iron hooves, not to mention being trampled by a group of wind chasing horses, which is not only uncomfortable, but also very likely to endanger life. Even if it is a quasi-first-class powerhouse, the protection is relatively strong, and it will not be trampled to death, but if you are not careful, you may be injured. Therefore, in the eyes of Mi Xin and the other mercenaries, the two people who were molesting the wind chasing horses were simply two crazy people, so much so that Mi Xin couldn't help but ask over the radio, "What is Mr. Raven doing?"

"Play. Rose's answer was simple and straightforward, "And it was a lot of fun." ”

"Well, not really. With Mi Xin's cultivation, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and he coughed dryly, "My impression of Mr. Crow these days, but every thing I do, every word I say, has a meaning, is he really playing?"

"You subconsciously ruled out Xiaohuo, which means that you have believed that Xiaohuo is playing, which is good, indicating that you already know her. Rose was merciless in her assessment of her closest female companion, "As for the crow, he does have a purpose, you are not mistaken. ”

"Well, that's true. Mi Xin knew that Rose couldn't see it, but she nodded subconsciously, "But, do you have to use such a strange way to achieve your goal?"

"Yes, definitely. Rose said as a matter of course, "This is his characteristic, just get used to it." ”

"However, if you do so, you will likely be injured or even killed. Mi Xin said uneasily, "This is too dangerous." ”

"That's exactly what he wants. Rose showed her feelings rarely, sighed faintly, and said softly, "Don't ask, Boss Mi, it's inconvenient for me to tell you other things." ”

Although she didn't say it, Rose felt inexplicably sad for the crow, she knew that since the incident five years ago, the crow had been living in depression and madness, so much so that he had developed a very unique habit. He will not deliberately seek death, but among several options, he will firmly choose the one that is most likely to hurt himself, and the more he is accompanied by danger, the more everyone focuses on him alone, the more satisfied he is.

Although he had been covering up with wealth and danger in words, Rose knew that everything was only because his self-destructive tendencies were quite serious, and as a fellow struggling in pain, Rose had a kind of sigh in her heart, so that she couldn't control her emotions for a while, and showed a faint sadness.

"I see. Although Mi Xin didn't seem to understand, she didn't ask any more in-depth questions, but changed the topic, "Then tell me, what is his purpose?"

"Didn't you notice? Oh, I see. Rose thought that Mi Xin was just an ordinary person, and her dynamic vision was not as sharp as that of the capable person, and the two people around her, Old Man Lu closed his eyes all the year round to recuperate, and Xiaodouzi's personality jumped out like a female leopard, and the two capable people probably didn't notice it, "Okay, in fact, we found that this group of wind chasing horses has a master." ”
