One Hundred and Fifty-Three: Our Mounts

As I told you, a normal warhorse worth two hundred gold coins can only increase the rider's level mobility by sixty percent, and a beast tamed by an adventurer's own hands will have some special skills depending on its race and level, in addition to a certain increase in mobility. Not only does the snow increase my mobility by 100 percent when I ride it, but it also has two skills: "tenacity" and "leaping". As we all know, these mounts tamed by the Magic Reins will instantly enter your Adventure Backpack in the form of a Magius when you abandon your mount, enter the room, use various combat techniques, and be attacked by magic, and the "Tenacity" skill ensures that the rider will not be shot down when riding the mount three times; The "Leap" skill, on the other hand, allows the mount to cross a distance of seven feet tall and fifteen feet long at a time, and this skill can be used every five minutes.

Having tamed a good mount, I happily rode my horse to the riding training ground, and successfully sold the remaining two dozen magic reins along the way. In this way, although I spent thirty or forty magic reins on the mountain snow, I didn't lose much money when I got in and out.

When I returned to the training ground, our leader, Lord Fei Yin, the elven archer Xian Yayi, and the beast tamer Yan Formation had already arrived one step ahead of me, and the Yangtze River Delta and Longbow Shooting Sun had received news that they would have to wait a little longer. Surprisingly, our Minotaur Paladin Bull Million is also capturing the mount at this moment, and after hearing about our whereabouts, he also came to meet us immediately.

At the sight of my mount, the Elder expressed great indignation: she thought that it was a waste for me to pay several times the price to tame a horse that could be bought at will, and that wasting was, in her opinion, the greatest crime against humanity, against society, against the independence and liberation movement of the continent of Teremaia.

I painstakingly explained to her that the horse was only somewhat similar to the tamed horses in the training ground, and that it was very different in terms of both love and function, and she told me that for a woman, the difference in appearance was the biggest difference, and that in her opinion there was no difference between these big animals with a long face and four hooves and a mane on their necks, and that there should be no difference in their prices—and her words were very convincingly supported by the Elven Beast Tamer Wild Goose Array, And the view supported by the wild goose array, the spineless string song Yayi, of course, voted in favor without any opinion. With the democratic resolution passed 3 to 1, President Fei Yin decided to raise my guild debt by 100 gold coins, so that my guild debt has increased to 32,000 gold coins, 50 silver coins, and 30 copper coins.

I asked if I could deduct the arrears from next month's paycheck, but our elder strongly disagreed, reasoning that it was fun to have the money in her hands, but it would make her happier to know that someone still owed her so much money, so she planned to make us a bunch of coolies in debt to earn money for her to die......

Although I had a different opinion on which was more important, the shape or the function, the Elven Beast Tamer Goose Array could clearly see at a glance the huge difference between this horse and the ordinary war horses that were sold at random on the training ground, and she commented on it like this:

"This Oddhoofed Equine subgenus is supposed to belong to the improved hot-blooded horse species, with more erect and short lumbar vertebrae, plump and heavy carapace, long and strong flexure, metacarpal bones, tibia, and extension bones, and thicker carpal bones and tarsal joints, which can support stronger limb muscle groups, thick hip bones and femurs, but not too broad and thick biceps, superficial tún, tún medius and semitendinosus muscles, more rounded costal arches, and higher tail base, which not only maintains a straight body shape but also ensures flexibility when running......"

The gap between the "......" people is reflected at this time, and it is very different from a mysterious woman who is full of copper, flashy and vain, and the evaluation of the wild goose array is obviously more professional and more pertinent, providing me with a lot of highly valuable and gable professional advice on how to domesticate and train mountain snow in the future, which will help me a lot - of course, after I figure out what she is talking about, it may help me even more.

"Yes, yes......" Different from my ignorant and naïve expression, the string song who was standing on the side nodded again and again, and from time to time there were some voices of admiration and echoing, as if he was very knowledgeable about it, "...... That's true...... Have you noticed such a subtle difference...... That's right......"

Despite the confidence of the elven marksman's every exclamation, his twinkling gaze looked suspicious.

"Can you explain to me what she means?" I asked him maliciously.

"This ...... In other words...... Anyway......" he stammered for a long time, and then suddenly became angry...... Won't you ask her yourself? ”

"To put it simply...... "Yan Zhen glanced at us two unlearned guys with great dissatisfaction, and explained reluctantly, "...... It means that the horse is very tall, strong, and beautiful. ”

"......" The two rude and ignorant men looked at each other speechlessly, and bowed their heads in shame.

……

After introducing me to the beginning, my friends also showed me what they had learned. The mount captured by our Wizardess is a "Clawed Woodland Spotted Leopard", a level 58 rider with two skills, "Climbing", which means that it can expand its activity space in many jungle terrains such as huge trees and vines, and "Dash", which allows it to run for 30 seconds every 10 minutes with a 150% degree value.

To be honest, it really surprised me to see the elder choose such an out-and-out fierce beast, in my opinion, in addition to the desire for money and the exploitation of subordinates, this mysterious woman who can't tell how old she is from the outside is really a stuffy and smelly beauty deep down, and her resistance to all cute creatures is really stronger than the wild goose array. According to her xìng grid, it is more normal to choose a colorful "green feather 6 rowed bird" or a holy and elegant "jungle unicorn".

However, as far as I can see, the speckled circular pattern on this leopard's body is very similar to the shape of the gold coins we have on hand, and when I think of this, I am immediately relieved of the choice of the eldest sister Fei Yin.

Oh, I forgot to tell you that the name of the Elder's mount is simple and to the point: "Money Hug" - well, this thing is and can only be Fei Yin's mount.

The mount chosen for himself by the Wild Goose Array is a "juvenile tooth-rushing boar", and this guy has unrelentingly implemented the unique aesthetic that the elven animal trainer has always had: it has a huge, round head, a fat neck that is completely gone, a round belly that always makes people want to go up and bounce twice, and a tail curled up behind the butt is cute. Honestly, if you don't count its four short legs, which look like it's a lot of effort, it's just a pink ball of meat, and the only thing that highlights its "fang-punching boar" pedigree are the two fangs on its side that aren't as long as my two knuckles - honestly, if you call them "fangs" I guess they'd be ashamed of themselves, and that's just two tiger teeth that are a little longer at most.

This cute guy named "Pig Dudu" appeared not long after the geese entered the jungle, and as I expected, our elven female animal trainer didn't have to fight with the mountain snow like I did to crush her whole body to tame it - she almost threw a rein in it and caught it. Given that this goose formation requires much more from the appearance of the mount than it actually does, and that this is only a "juvenile" boar, I estimate that it will have a popular skill such as "rushing" or "sprinting" at most - of course, if "selling cute" can also be regarded as one of the mount skills, then its effect of this skill is quite powerful, for example: our elders are immediately overjoyed when they see it, scratching its belly and teasing it endlessly.

"Can't you catch an animal that looks more powerful?" She counted her animal trainer friend duplicitously, but before she could finish speaking, she couldn't help but chuckle out loud, "...... Oh, you see the meat on its belly is still rippling...... Guys, it's time for you to lose féi, you know? Then he pinched the pig's fat face and twisted it around very affectionately, until one of its faces was pulled like a jack-o-lantern with a big mouth. The fat pig looked back at his master very aggrievedly, and then helplessly let his face be ravaged by the demonic woman in front of him.

When I brought it up to see the mount of the String Song Yayi, the xenomorph elf, who had always been unashamed of his words, showed a very rare appearance. Apparently the two ladies present had already seen his mount, and if it weren't for the two of them coaxing and coercing the elven shooter to release his mount, I'm afraid he would have really passed away.

When String Ge Yayi finally released his mount, I understood the reason why Fei Yin and Yan were laughing. Although I know that there are hundreds of riding beasts that can be caught in the Unzeklal Mountains, and many of them like to hunt some strange animals as mounts, it is still too rare to have a terrifying riding beast like this: a hard carapace, stubby limbs, rough skin, and a clumsy appearance—the mount that String Ge Yayi released was a huge tortoise.

This is a "stupid Zedi elephant-legged turtle", level fifty-six. It's not as clumsy and sluggish as it seems, but like a publicly sold warhorse, it only increases the most basic 60 percent of its flat ground movement - honestly, I really suspect it's not that much at all, and the only thing it's a little better than the basic warhorse is that it has a skill called "Swimming", which allows it to ride in water for long periods of time, and is as fast as it is. String Ge Yayi gave this unusual mount a name "I can do it".

At our insistence, we had to ride this mount around the circle. Once it runs, the turtle struggles with all its might, stretches its neck, shakes its head, and struggles desperately. This in itself was a gimmicky spectacle, not to mention that the elven master sitting behind it was blushing and stretched his neck almost longer than it was because he thought it was running too slowly.

"How did you come up with the idea of catching such a guy as a mount?" I forced myself to laugh and gently stroked the head of the turtle he was riding.

"Actually, I chose it as a mount after careful consideration...... Hey, I said can you stop laughing......" Sayi explained as she tried in vain to stop the evil smile on my face, "...... The mounts that can be caught here are generally a little taller than the average person, and the faster you run, the more bumpy it becomes, that ...... You know my problem, I've got a little bit of a fear of heights, and a little bit of motion sickness, and this turtle happens to be the shortest and smoothest mount I've ever found. After catching it, I realized that it had a skill that could go into the water, and I just didn't know how to swim, so I ...... Hey, is this that funny? ”

After that explanation, we realized that this turtle was indeed the most suitable mount for the String Song Elegance - not only that, it was simply the only mount in the world that was suitable for the String Song Elegance. It is the only mount we have ever seen that sits on it and is a head shorter than it stands, which is a godsend for the severe acrophobia who faints on tiptoe and faints on the spot; And when it comes to handling and riding smoothly – you know, it's really hard to tell whether it's easier to ride on its back or crawl on the ground yourself.

It didn't take long for the Yangtze River Delta and Longbow to shoot the sun and rush back. As soon as these two people appeared at the door of the training ground, they immediately attracted the attention of most people. Under everyone's attention, the happy couple chattered endlessly.

"Can't you run faster if you're a dead fat man? Don't keep in front of me, I can't see the way! The dwarven priest longbowed and shouted in a loud and rude voice.

"Do you think you'll be able to see the way when I walk behind you? Even if you stand on the back of a camel, you are not as tall as the hump, and from the front you look like this camel is not driving at all! You can see a fart! The half-orc shadow thief Yangtze River Delta retorted viciously.

"Hmph, you're jealous that my mount is taller than you! You still have the face to say that I am unmanned, and you don't know how to be ashamed! Look at yourself, and when you look closer, you can barely see that you are riding a donkey, and when you look at it from a distance, you think it is a piece of féi meat floating in the air! ”

"You dwarf with a twisted soul, even if you ride a tall mount, you are still a dwarf!"

"You psychopathic fat man, even if you ride the skinny mount, you are still a fat man!"

"You're endangering traffic safety!"

"You affect the appearance of the city!"

"You're driving illegally!"

"You abuse animals!"

"Shame on you!"

"You're ridiculous!"

"You are pathetic!"

"You are pathetic!"

“……”

“……”

I have to say that such a pair of knights will be the center of attention wherever they go, and I really can't say which of the mounts is more striking than theirs - and given the contrast between the two men's size and their mounts, the turtle doesn't seem so unacceptable.

The longbow is mounted on a giant Bactrian hump known as the "Full-Time Four-Hoofed Drive", which is not universal, but is quite common. But the problem is that most of the people who choose this kind of mount are tall and powerful races like minotaurs and half-orcs, and at least they should be relatively tall adventurers among humans or elves. Because this mount is so majestic—my mountain snow is already considered a strong horse, but it is two heads shorter than this camel, and a slightly shorter rider would be very uncoordinated to ride on it. The obvious problem is that this is a "Bactrian camel", and its full name is "Bactrian Humpeda", just by the name you should be able to imagine how majestic and tall the two humps behind it are, if the rider is shorter, the huge hump in front of him will undoubtedly obstruct the view.

And now its rider is a dwarf.

As the Yangtze River Delta said, even if the dwarven priest stood behind it, he was probably shorter than the hump in front of him, let alone riding on it. If you hadn't heard their voices, it would have been clear from the front that there was no one behind the camel.

On top of that, a beast tamed by the magic reins will automatically spawn a saddle and a pair of pedals, which are undoubtedly superfluous for the longbow to shoot the sun - even the saddle is so big that neither of its feet can reach the edge of the saddle.

Aside from the 100% mobility bonus, the camel's two abilities have little to do with haste. One of its skills is the "double ride", that is, it can carry an additional passenger in addition to the rider; Another ability is "Weight", which provides an additional magical luggage space after summoning a camel, and the items stored in this space are not affected by the effects of theft or other lost items - a useful skill for people who travel all over the world.

Compared with the embarrassment of "seeing the mount but not the rider" of the longbow shooting the sun, the Yangtze River Delta is indeed diametrically opposed to "seeing the rider but not the mount".

He caught a "woodland striated wild ass", judging from the name, probably there should be some variegated striated stripes on its back, but at the moment we really can't verify this: because this wild ass is too short and thin, only half a man tall, probably less than the distance of my arms outstretched, I am afraid that it is not much stronger than a goat, and its rider is too bloated, riding on its back is like putting a meat blanket on it, not to mention the horizontal stripes on its back, Even the color of the hair on the donkey's belly is rarely seen, and even the neck is mostly covered, and only a donkey's head and half of the donkey's tail can be barely exposed.

The desolate donkey, who was in a desolate state that made people cry, had a strange name called "25 twin-cylinder four-stroke", and his owner had a very bad habit: the Yangtze River Delta didn't seem to like holding the reins in his hand, and his hands always couldn't help but want to hold the donkey's two long ears horizontally, and he always wanted to twist it subconsciously from time to time.

This donkey also has two skills, one is "rock climbing", which is somewhat similar to the "climbing" skill of Fei Yin's "money holder", except that "climbing" is aimed at huge trees, while "rock climbing" is only suitable for steep cliffs where rocks are piled up; The other is "Run", which allows it to move at a high rate of 200% for 30 seconds, at the cost of only gaining a 60% bonus for the next 10 minutes.

While we were laughing at each other at how badly our mounts had chosen, our Minotaur Paladin Bull Million was finally overdue.

To be honest, when Niu Million appeared, it took us a long time to tell which one was Niu Million and which one was his mount.

Did you know that the mount chosen by this minotaur who likes to brag is actually a cow; Not only a cow, but a black cow with long curved horns, a large mouth, and a nose ring on its nose, and a whole face that looked like a million cows in a mirror; And the most cheating thing is that the name of this cow is called: "Ancient and unparalleled, earth-shattering, unparalleled in the world, invincible desire tree, Linfeng Xiu, Wai Huizhong, loyal liver, bare courage and righteousness, thin clouds, full belly, economic and brave, brave crown, three armies, resourceful, young and golden, punching Nanshan, colorful tiger kicks, North Sea, black scale dragon, can go up to the nine days, the moon can go down, the five oceans catch turtles, the world is beautiful, the world is beautiful, the world's first hero, the hero, the great grandmaster, the cow is angry, the cow is full of sweat, the cow is full of strength, the bull knife is strong, the bull is strong, the cow is like a bull and a tiger, the tiger is on the bull plate, the cow is falling, the wild goose is flying, the cow is dancing, the giant cow is a million, the cow is a million... …

Well, when I have two almost identical-looking faces shaking in front of my eyes, and both of them have two flickering talismans on their heads, you have to forgive me for having them both of them in the first place - in fact, it wasn't until five minutes later that I realized that I had been talking to a million cows, and I was able to do that because he had finally put his mount away......

Like most captured mounts, the Million-Dollar Cow has a 100% bonus and has both the "Ramming" and "Tenacity" abilities. Tenacity, like my mountain snow, can withstand three enemy attacks on a ride; "Ramming" is a skill with an attack xìng that allows it to hit a target at a very high degree within its attack range every five minutes.

In this way, our group gathered in the riding training ground, and the excitement of getting the mount was overflowing. Everyone isn't content to just "get" their mount, just like when we just got a new weapon or a new piece of equipment, we all want to have a place where we can experience the power of our mount.

"Let's go to the cross-country racing field!" Suddenly, Fei Yin proposed.
