Chapter 10 Horse Hunting
With a lot of things on their minds, Lu Chaohe and Lu Mingchao, with fifteen family monks, left Yuyan Mountain and headed north.
Their actions were purposeful, with the map clearly marking the location of the horses as they had been yesterday, and also plotting the routes of the horses.
Their distance from the herd was estimated to be about two hundred and forty miles. This distance is not far for the monks. Cultivators in the Qi refining period can travel at a normal speed and can arrive in half a day, while cultivators in the foundation building period can pass in a little more than an hour when they control the take-off sword or other flying props.
The Water Spirit Horse was also a first-order spirit beast, and its speed was even slightly faster than that of a monk in the Qi Refining Period.
However, it should be noted that the herd was on the move, but there were no strong enemies chasing after them. They also have to find water, food, and even time to rest and play as they walk. This way, the stop-and-go speed is not too fast.
Catching up in four days, especially if the goal is clear, is still not a big problem.
In fact, by the next morning, they had already found the horses.
It's pretty much the same as the route marked in advance.
By noon, they had officially met the herd.
There were twenty-four of them, including five young horses, twelve mares, and seven stallions. They were drinking and resting by a pool, and several ponies were chasing each other around the herd, as if they were fighting. These water spirit horses are blue and white, and there is a faint blue halo under the skin, which is very beautiful.
Lu Mingchao is a monk of the Shuimu Twin Spirit Roots, and the exercise she cultivates, called 'Shuiyun Crossing Spectrum', has a trick that is quite easy to use at this time.
Together with Seventh Brother, she first commanded all the monks to form an encirclement, and then she made the first move.
Pinching the spell in his hand, the 'Cloud Curse' was cast.
This spell can summon a dense cloud that envelops an area and obscures the body. In addition to this, the cultivator herself could sense the situation in the clouds, and at the same time, she could also synchronize this feeling to her companions.
As soon as the fog appeared, the horses had already reacted.
They themselves are water spirit animals, and they are very sensitive to changes in water aura.
At the neighing of the stallion, the whole herd moved, and they formed a herd, and all the adult water spirit horses formed a circle, protecting the young horses in the middle of the circle.
Under the agitation of the horses, three monks suddenly appeared in the west. They fought in open flames, approaching the horses from the periphery, and shouted menacingly.
Although the water spirit horse is a spirit animal with aura, they are peaceful and docile by nature, and they are not aggressive. After being intimidated, the first reaction of the horses was to run in the opposite direction.
This is exactly the trap of the monks.
Lu Chaohe was the only second-order formation mage in the family, and he was on the east side of the horse herd, and he had already arranged the formation in advance. As the herd of horses passed, he emerged from the fog, shook a bell in his hand, and with the help of four other Qi cultivators, activated the formation.
The aura surged, the ground rolled, and the horses couldn't stand on their feet in a roar, and they were overturned one by one.
This is a second-order low-grade earth formation called 'Inverted Earth Formation', and the effect is just like now, it can turn the ground, so that the target in the formation cannot move freely, so that it is trapped and squeezed by the earth. And, due to the heavy earth aura at work, flying spells will be restrained to a certain extent.
The water spirit horse can't fly in the first place, so it's useless to use this formation.
At this time, more than a dozen monks appeared in unison, surrounding the formation, and began to penetrate the prohibition inward.
"Uncle Seven, Uncle Seven, Uncle Seven, tap ......" A female voice sounded, speaking was a girl who looked quite young, her appearance was pretty, but she was already forty-five years old.
Monks, especially female friars, cannot judge age by their appearance. In the cultivation realm, except for a few cases, almost qualified female cultivators can be regarded as having the ability to rejuvenate their faces. Cultivation itself will keep the body in a youthful peak state, not to mention that there are some pills available.
Her name is Lu Xueting, the second generation of the Lu family, and she is currently in the sixth stage of Qi training, looking at the progress of this practice, the hope of building a foundation is relatively small.
But she is currently the only animal trainer in the family, and she has a first-order high-grade level.
Once, the family also had a small group of spirit beasts, raising some demon ducks, at first hiring people from outside to cultivate, but later felt that it was not a problem, and the family itself also cultivated a beast trainer, that is, Lu Xueting.
It's a pity that the people have been cultivated, and the demon duck flock is gone......
But now, it can finally come in handy again.
The water spirit horse herd is far more important than the kind of demon ducks that can only be raised and eaten, and at least a second-order beast tamer can be well managed. But there is no way, the family has this condition now, and it has to be hard-headed.
She herself also attached great importance to this mission, for fear that Uncle Seven's fallen earth formation would kill a few of these precious spirit horses. Even if you don't fall to your death, breaking two horses' legs is a big loss.
After receiving the call, she frantically began refining rune paper that could control spirit beasts, and she did not stop refining during the two days of tracking. Coupled with the previous inventory, he prepared forty or fifty first-order beast control talismans in one go and distributed them to other monks.
At this time, after the horses were controlled, she led the monks of the family to punch out the beast control talismans one by one.
Spirit beasts that are labeled with a beast control charm will be under the control of the beast trainer for a short time. This kind of control can't last long, and the follow-up still depends on the ability of the beast trainer to tame the spirit beast.
But now I don't have time to give her a horse-by-horse taming, first put on all the beast control charms, move the horses to the foot of Yuyan Mountain, and then think about slowly domesticating.
The first-order beast control talisman, for a first-order spirit beast like the Water Spirit Horse, the control success rate is still quite high, and it looks like seventy percent. After using up thirty-five Beast Control Talismans, all of the Water Spirit Horses were under control - except for the Horse King.
The horse king's personality was particularly fierce, he kept struggling in the earth-falling formation, and the aura of the water was surging, trying to stand up and rush out, but he was put down again and again. Four or five beast control talismans hit its body in a row, but it didn't have any effect, and in the end, there was no way, Lu Chaohe said:
"Kill it, it's okay to peel the skin and cramp and bring the spirit meat back. ”
"It's a shame. Lu Ming said, "I'll think of a way......
With that, she pinched the magic trick in her hand and made another move.
A line of water shot out of her hand and turned into a rope, entangled the trapped horse king.
"Ninth sister, do you want to drag this horse king all the way back?" Lu Chaohe's expression was a little worried, he was afraid that his young sister's spiritual power would not be able to hold it.
"Yes. Lu Mingchao said, "A water spirit horse is worth two hundred spirit stones, and this horse king is particularly majestic, I am afraid that it can be sold for three hundred prices." The family is not in a good situation now, and one more material is a lump sum. For those of us people, it's okay to work hard...... Brother Qi doesn't need to worry, I have the bottom in my heart and can hold on. ”
