Chapter 20 Taming Horses, Iron Smelting
"Su Yun, will you use a lasso around the horse's neck?" Su Yu handed the lasso to Su Yun.
"It's easy, patriarch, you can just set whichever one you want." Su Yun shook the lasso in his hand and looked at the herd of horses in the distance who had not yet noticed the danger.
"The most conspicuous one, the one that walks in the front, that one must be the king of horses."
"As long as you tame that horse king, the other horses will naturally not be able to run away."
"Okay, I'll meet him now." Su Yun grinned and quietly touched it. It's easy to catch and you have to get close to have a chance, but Su Yun is skilled and can be caught at a distance.
Several other people followed him, just in case.
Su Yun quickly touched the vicinity of the horses, and the horse king was still grazing slowly.
It seemed to see Su Yun, but Su Yun was still some distance away, so it didn't care.
In its impression, there were people who tried to catch it before, but none of them caught up with it.
Suddenly, it saw the man flick a strip of something over, and it instinctively wanted to dodge, but it didn't feel threatened, and when it dodged, it slowed down and was caught by the thing's neck.
"Boom~" it barked, and the horses of the surrounding herd heard the cry of their leader.
It wanted to run, but its neck was choked by the noose, and the harder it worked, the tighter the noose became.
Immediately afterward, several more nooses were placed around its neck. Five lassoes were pulled in five directions, immobilizing it.
Su Yu told Huimu to tame it, and now the other horses began to be restless, and they wanted to fight quickly.
When Huimu saw this King of Horses, he was very excited.
Su Yu asked him to go up and tame it, and Hui Mu was also a little apprehensive in his heart.
He took a deep breath and jumped onto his horse.
When he sat on the back of the horse, Huimu's heart suddenly calmed down.
Is this what horseback riding is like? It feels good to go back to wood.
Huimu jumped on the back of the horse, and the horse king began to struggle violently, trying to throw Huimu down.
Huimu hugged King Ma's neck tightly, and Su Yu also motioned for them to let go of the lasso.
All you have to do now is to believe in Huimu and let Huimu tame this unruly horse king.
The king felt the noose loosen from his neck, kicked his hind legs, and ran on the shore of the lake.
The other horses watched as their leaders competed with the men.
It was a stalemate for a long time, and the sun was about to set. Su Yu admired Huimu's endurance and persistence, although the endurance on the panel was not high, Su Yu felt that this panel could not measure a person's true potential, a person's potential should be unlimited, and no one knew if a miracle would happen.
The king of horses finally surrendered, but it couldn't survive the person on its back, and it failed.
Huimu seemed to feel it too, and untied the noose that was still on its neck with his hand.
Huimu got off the horse, and the king didn't run, but just stood quietly.
Huimu stroked its face and eyes, happy inside.
"Boom~" King Ma shouted twice and kicked the lasso on the ground, expressing his dissatisfaction.
"Patriarch, I succeeded." Huimu shouted to Su Yu happily, perhaps, from this moment on, he truly identified with Su Yu as the patriarch.
As the sun sets, one man and one horse embark on the way home.
Su Yu was driving these horses behind, he patronized and watched, but forgot that he didn't tame the horses, and he had to walk back.
"This kid, it's so majestic to ride a horse, I knew that I would also tame a horse to ride, save me and walk back now." Su Yun muttered beside him, he also patronized and looked back at the wooden training horse.
Fortunately, the greedy wolf tribe is not far from the shore of the lake, and it is only more than half an hour's walk.
The horses were brought back, and Su Yu asked people to collect hay, and they had to collect more.
Although there was still some grass in the camp, there were more than a hundred horses in the herd. However, Su Yu saw that there were mostly mares in this herd, and there were also underage ponies, and there were not many stallions. The horses have small groups, centered around the stallions, but these small groups are all under the command of a horse king.
Su Yu wanted to form a cavalry, but how to form this group of mares, there were only a few stallions.
It seems that the formation of cavalry will have to wait until later, at least if more horses are caught and returned, and the little stallions will have to wait for them to reach adulthood.
Fortunately, it only takes three years for a horse to become an adult, and these three years can still afford to wait, and now there are many ponies in this herd, and I believe that in a few years the tribe will be able to have cavalry.
Early in the morning, Su Yu asked Su Yun to stay and continue to help Huimu tame wild horses.
And he himself took Su Xun and Yang back together. The herd carried more than sixty baskets of iron ore and set out on the way back.
At this moment, Su Yu took away more than thirty young and middle-aged cattle for them, and now only half of the young and middle-aged cattle in the greedy wolf camp are available.
On the way, the cattle were not quite used to carrying heavy loads, but they were quiet.
The people who drove the cattle were originally from the greedy wolf tribe, Su Yu and they didn't know how to drive the cattle, more than thirty cows only needed five people to manage them, and the cattle kept on the way, and the team kept rushing at a uniform speed.
In the evening, rush to the big river.
Several earthen houses were built by the river, and Su Yu asked them to stop here to unload their things.
The river still has a great impact on the tribe, and if there is no raft, it is difficult to travel between the two banks.
These earthen houses were built here by Su Yu, and sooner or later the tribe will have to develop here, and building a few houses is also just in case.
"There aren't many beasts here at night, don't worry." Su Yu said to a few people who were driving cattle.
The beasts near the tribe were basically caught by Su Yun and them, and then few beasts dared to come over.
It was late at night, and there was definitely no way to row a raft to the other side at night, so we had to wait for tomorrow.
β¦β¦
The first dawn.
Su Yu came here with three clansmen with smelting talents. Among them, the most talented is called cycad, although Su Yu doesn't know how he took the iron word, but he doesn't care.
I took a look at his panel,
[Name: Cycad]
[Gender: Male]
[Age: 25]
[Force: β βββ]
[Intelligence: β β βββ]
γEndurance: β β β βββγ

[Perfect: A natural forging grandmaster, with superb skills. γ
[Loyalty: 100]
"It's time for you to come out, this is iron ore, you all know each other."
"Patriarch, as long as the conditions are ready, we guarantee that we can make the iron in three days, but there are still many things missing, such as crucibles and blacksmith furnaces, etc., and it will take a few days to prepare." Cycad patted his chest and said.
"Okay, I'll let them all cooperate with you, just mention whatever you need, and I'll definitely prepare it for you." Su Yu is not afraid that they will have requirements, as long as he can beat the iron out.
Soon, a brick house was built on this side, which was a blacksmith's shop, a workshop built especially for them.
