The mountainous area is quite beautiful, but there are basically no people in sight. Except for Ma Wencai, Hu Wei and his party are all coming for the first time. Hu listened attentively for a while, and seemed to faintly hear the sound of horses running. But I didn't hear it so really, and when I asked Yaya, Hu Wei wasn't sure.

Among the 100 people brought by Hu Wei this time, there are also masters of Soma. When Hu Wei made a move, they also crawled on the ground, put their ears close to the ground, and listened quietly to the movement. But they also didn't have anything to gain.

"Young master, the wild horses don't play horseshoe, it's far away here, I'm afraid it's hard to hear the movement, we might as well go deeper. One soldier reminded.

Because it came out this time, with a sense of secrecy, when he was outside, everyone was called Young Master Hu Wu instead of Young Marshal.

That's exactly what Hu Wei thinks. Horses with horseshoes have stiffer feet, and the sound of stepping on the ground will be more brittle, and it can be transmitted farther. And if you don't hit the iron horseshoe, it's relatively heavy, and the sound of hitting the mud is not small, and sometimes it doesn't have the same as the original. It's normal not to hear any movement.

This time into the mountain, Hu Wei was ready to suffer a little, it was good to find it at the beginning, but it was acceptable for Hu Wei not to find it. As long as there are wild horses here, they can always be found.

"That's right, let's take a break from the spot, and let's go deeper. ”

Hu Wei said and turned his head and asked Ma Wencai: "Old Ma, go in over there, what is the place?"

Hu Wei's title for Ma Wencai has been changed several times in the past two days, and this will be called Ma Wencai's old horse, which is more cordial.

Marven has only been here once, but unfortunately he is not a military officer, and he has no habit of drawing maps, and there are too many mountains here, so he really can't remember what place is behind him when he wants to think about it. After recalling for a long time, I can only tell sù Hu worry, the other side of the mountain is still a mountain. made Hu Wei really speechless for a while.

After a short rest, the group continued on their way. What Marven said is really good, the other side of the mountain is really a mountain. Fortunately, the mountain is not very large, whether it is turned over or bypassed, there is no big problem.

"Young master, there seems to be a valley behind that mountain. "Hu Wei has a talented person in geography around him, and looking at the trend of the mountain, he can roughly guess the geographical situation behind.

Of course, this is just conjecture, and whether this is the case or not will be known in the past. Speaking of which, Hu Wei is also a little depressed, and the map of the Mandala Empire is also quite good, but in this area, there is no detailed map. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to walk so hard.

However, Hu Wei is just depressed, so that it is understandable why there is no map here. The military role here is almost zero, and Hu Wei has been in charge of the mandala for so many years, so he also didn't send someone to make a map about this side.

People are very realistic, useless will spend time and energy in useless places, if it weren't for Marven to find out that there are wild horses here, Hu Wei doesn't know when he will step into this land.

Hu Wei thought for a while and said, "The valley is not important, there are so many mountains here, and the valley will naturally not be less." Our focus is on water. The action is all about drinking water, and as long as we can find a water source, we can find out the news. ”

The soldier had a little effort, but behind the hill was a valley, but unfortunately there was no water source here. Not only is there no water source, but there is very little grass, and there are stones everywhere, which is not suitable for horses.

At this time, it was getting dark, and Hu Wei and his party did not gain anything on the first day.

"Young master, I've really seen wild horses here, but I can't remember where they are. But if I could see that place again, I would recognize it. ”...,

It was only when he set up camp that Marven found Hu Wei. He was a little apprehensive about what he hadn't discovered today. Although Hu Wei said that no matter whether he can find the horse or not, he will give him a sum of money. But it is common for soldiers to turn their faces ruthlessly, and if they not only do not give him at that time, or give him not money, but knives, then his life will be in danger.

It's not impossible. In Ma Wencai's opinion, Hu Wei is so young, and his status in the army is afraid that it will not be very high, and if he doesn't suppress it when the time comes, then Hu Wei can't protect him even if he wants to protect him.

The more Marven thought about it, the more scared he became, and he would already regret his big mouth. If he hadn't been talking nonsense in the bazaar, he would still be doing his own little business, how could he have come to this place.

Hu Wei patted Ma Wencai and said with a smile: "Caima, let me ask you, how many days did you find a wild horse in the mountains?"

This Marven remembered it very clearly, and replied, "The fourth day." I found out on the morning of the fourth day. After that, I wanted to chase it, but unfortunately I couldn't catch it. ”

"That's not right. You've been walking for four days before you realize that we've only been walking for a day, and we're far away. I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about. Don't think about it so much, let's set up camp in a while, let's have a drink. The scenery here is very beautiful, I really can't find it, so let's just come to play. ”

If Marven knew Hu Wei's true identity, this sentence would be enough for him to sit on the ground happily. Although he didn't know that Hu Wei was the young marshal of the Immortal Bird Legion, Hu Wei said such a thing, which was enough to reassure him.

Early the next morning, the crowd continued on their way. Although Ma Wencai can't say a specific place, he still remembers the general direction, which also saves a lot of worries, otherwise he, a hundred people, want to find this mountain forest, I'm afraid that it won't take a year, but half a year.

"I remember, there used to be a waterhole here!" Marven suddenly shouted happily when it was almost noon.

"Old Ma, is there really a waterhole over there?" Hu Wei was also in good spirits. Although the scenery here is beautiful, after two days of viewing, the attraction is greatly reduced. Being able to spot a wild horse a day earlier and leave here a day earlier has slowly outgrown the attraction of this place.

"Yes, I'm sure there's a waterhole over there. That time my kettle had a hole, and if I hadn't found the pool, I wouldn't have had any water to drink. Just ......"

"Just what. Hu Wei frowned. Generally speaking, it is not a good word, and there is a chance that there will be any problems after that. ”

"It's just that the road is not so easy to walk, and there are a lot of poisonous snakes. Marven recalled that experience, and his little face turned a little pale.

He dared to run into the mountains alone to fight wolves, but that was not a big deal. But that time when he strayed into the snake area, every time he thought about it, it made him palpitate.

"Poisonous snakes, are there a lot?" said Hu Wei in a deep voice. Hu Wei's subordinates have snake catchers, a few or even a hundred or ten poisonous snakes, which are nothing to them. But if it is hundreds of thousands, even mountains and valleys, it is not a joke, the medical skills here are not very good, it is very troublesome to be bitten by poisonous snakes, Wang Fugui almost died back then, it was Hu Wei who passed by inadvertently, so he did not die.

"A lot, it almost didn't scare me to death that night. Marven recalled the events of that day.

It turned out that when Marven came here that day, it was only noon, it was still too early to set up camp, and the kettle didn't know when it broke a hole, so he decided to walk a little longer and look for a water source by the way.

But who would have thought that the experience of that day almost made Marven lose his life. Marven found a water source, but when he slept until midnight, he was woken up by a burst of cold, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the tent was full of poisonous snakes, and the urine really came out directly. ...,

After listening to Ma Wencai's story, Hu Wei's face became heavy. After recruiting his soldiers, they discussed for a while, and after making sure that more than half of the soldiers were good at catching snakes, they decided to go to the waterhole. You must know that the water in the mountains is basically connected, and with the clue of the waterhole, it is easy to find wild horses.

"There are no snakes here. ”

According to the direction pointed out by Ma Wencai, Hu Wei and his party really found the waterhole, but Hu Wei turned around for a long time, and there was not even a shadow of a snake.

"It's strange, how could it be gone. Could it be that it will come out at night. Ma Wencai was also quite puzzled.

"Young master, there should indeed be a large number of snakes living here, but I don't know where they have gone, it feels like they have moved out temporarily. The soldier carefully inspected the area and found a lot of snake holes and snake eggs, but none of the snakes were shadows, let alone big snakes, nor small snakes.

"Strengthen vigilance, add double posts at night, and change every hour. ”

Hu Wei also thinks that there is something strange about this place, and it is not clear that those snakes who don't know where to hide will really come out at night.

Hu Wei didn't know that he had absorbed the red essence of the snake king's blood, and he had the breath of the snake king on his body, an ordinary poisonous snake, and when he felt this breath from afar, he ran away, where did he dare to stay here.

Because he was worried about the snake, Hu Wei didn't sleep very well, and in the middle of the night he faintly heard a sound, so he opened his eyes and got out of the tent.

"Young master, is there something wrong?" the soldier who was on the night vigil looked worried and hurriedly asked.

"Have you found any poisonous snakes?" Hu Wei glanced at it cursoryly, very satisfied with the soldier's deployment. In his army, there were very few cases of standing guard and dozing off.

"Nothing was found. The soldier shook his head, for he had heard that there were a large number of poisonous snakes here, but the eyes of those who stood guard widened, and the weapons in their hands occasionally stirred at the thicker grass. But so far, there has been nothing missing.

"That's fine, but don't be careless, I'll look around, you don't need to pay attention to me. ”

Hu Wei glanced at Yaya's tent, there was Xiaobai on her side, and Hu Wei didn't need to worry. Xiaobai, this guy is very smart, not to mention a poisonous snake, even a mosquito can't hide from its eyes.

After sitting by the waterhole for a while, Hu Wei remembered the sound he heard faintly when he was sleeping just now. I listened carefully for a while, but I didn't find it. Hu Wei shook his head, he didn't pay much attention to it, there were many animals in the mountains, and it was not very strange to hear any sound.

The night passed so peacefully, with no snakes, no horses, nothing to be seen. Although Hu Wei thought this thing was very strange, he didn't bother to think about it, wouldn't it be better if he didn't, and it would take a lot of effort to save it.

After breakfast, a soldier reported to Hu Wei that the grass on the road ahead began to become more and the terrain was flat, believing that if there were really wild horses, it should not be too far away.

"Uh-huh, I remember that too. It's not too far, it's nearby. Ma Wencai was frightened that night, and many memories were confused, and he would revisit the old place, and he found a lot of memories again.

Hu Wei scolded with a smile: "Your guide is really a failure, everything was found out by others, and you only remembered it." ”

Ma Wencai laughed with him, his eyes were a little different from the day before yesterday. He didn't believe there were no poisonous snakes here, but he hadn't seen one last night, and he thought about it and thought of a legend, so he explained it to himself. And Marven felt that Hu Wei was the legendary cowman who even avoided the poisonous snake for ten miles.

Boom Boom Boom ......

While he was talking, a muffled thunderous voice suddenly sounded in the distance. Hu Wei was stunned for a moment, and jumped up in surprise. This time there is no need to lie on the ground and listen, it is obvious that it is the sound of thousands of galloping horses. ...,

"Young master, there are really wild horses. The soldiers also looked surprised. Although I haven't seen a herd of horses yet, this sound is enough to prove it.

It wasn't until this that Hu Wei confirmed the sound he heard yesterday, which was the sound of horses running. No wonder it can travel so far, there are really a lot of horses here.

"Xiaobai, go and take a look. Yaya reacted the fastest, patted Xiaobai's head, and shouted coquettishly.

The wolf is the king of the mountains and forests, and Xiaobai is the king of the wolves, and it is unceremonious to say that this is its territory. Here, its energy is more than that of a soldier, and even more than Hu Wei.

Xiaobai has been by Yaya's side for more than ten years, so he naturally knows what Yaya means. I saw it roar lowly, as if in response, and in a blink of an eye there was no shadow.

Hu Wei is also very clear about Xiaobai's ability, and there is no hurry when this comes. The company asked the soldiers to dial the camp, and the company waited for Xiaobai to come back. At this point, Marven is basically useless, and Xiaobai can bring back the information they need.

Xiaobai went for a long time and didn't come back until noon. Look at its wolf head raised high, you don't need to ask to know that he must have made a discovery.

"Do you want to rest for a while?" Hu Wei threw a piece of raw meat to Xiaobai. Although it also eats cooked food, it prefers to eat raw.

Xiao Bai Sansan solved the piece of meat in two bites, glanced at Hu Wei, ignored Hu Wei, and trotted in the direction he came back just now.

Hu complained to Yaya unhappily: "That Xiaobai actually dares to show me a face." ”

Yaya giggled: "You deserve it, who told you to underestimate Xiaobai." I tell you, don't say it's just a morning, Xiaobai can run at high speed for a day without any problems. ”

Yaya's words are not bragging. At the time of Hu Wei's disappearance, Yaya had led soldiers on the battlefield. At that time, Xiaobai had been running with Yaya's horse, even if it was running for a day, it didn't have any breath.

"Come on, I know your little white is amazing. Let's go and see what Xiaobai finds. ”

Xiaobai's ability is much stronger than Ma Wencai. With it leading the way in front, Hu Wei and his party were not afraid that they would go the wrong way, and when the sun was about to set, they came to another valley.

"It's so beautiful!" Hu Wei took a deep breath and said refreshedly.

There are mountains, water, and most importantly, nearly 10,000 wild horses, so it's strange if it's beautiful.

"I said, I'm not lying. Ma Wencai also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Finding a mustang means that his bounty can't run away. Nearly 10,000 horses, the bounty shouldn't be too small.

"Daddy, there are so many horses, we are only more than a hundred people, can we catch so many?"

After Yaya's joy, she became worried again. Before, she thought that it was just a few hundred or thousand horses, and a hundred people came, and each of them caught seven or eight horses. But there are nearly 10,000 horses here, and each person is in charge of 100 horses, which is a bit difficult.

Hu Wei listened to Yaya's words and laughed: "I thought you were very smart, how could you become stupid." We don't need to catch all of them, as long as we catch the first horse, we can let them all go with us.

Through Guò Hu Wei's explanation, Hu Wei knew. It turns out that the wild horse herd, like the army, has a leader. Among the wild horses, this leader is called the head horse, also known as the king of horses. As long as the king of horses is subdued, then all the horses will not be able to escape.

Xiaobai listened to Hu Wei's explanation and rolled his eyes. Why did it bring back a group of horses when it found them, but when it found it, it only brought back one. If Hu Wei had brought back all the wolves under his command back then, then it wouldn't need to run away in person now, and if there were a few roars, the wolf cubs below would naturally do it for it.

Xiaobai has lived for hundreds of years, and he can be regarded as familiar with human nature, but he doesn't want to think about what will happen if Hu Wei brings all his subordinates back to the army. I'm afraid that the barracks have become a wolf's den.

It only took three days to find the herd, and Hu Wei was still very happy. But happy to be happy, Hu Youping did not take any action immediately. What he has to do now is to take a good look and find out who is the king of horses.

Someone said: Then you have to find it, naturally which horse is the biggest, that is it.

This is very wrong. King Ma is not about size, but about blood, just like Xiaobai, a bright wolf in the night, when Hu Wei caught it, it was only a medium size in the wolf pack.

"Xiaobai, do you want to perform again this time?" Hu Wei laughed at Xiaobai. Don't let it go if you can use it, borrow Xiaobai, the wolf king, isn't it easy to find the king of horses.

Xiaobai rolled his eyes, and just wanted to say something, when suddenly the hairs on his whole body stood up. At the same time, the smile on Hu Wei's face froze, and a chill instantly crossed his heart!
