Chapter 61: Horse Farm

Du Xuan rode the purple dragon scale horse king on the grassland for a few hours, almost running most of the grassland, and became more harmonious with the purple dragon scale horse king. This is mainly due to the fact that Du Xuan practiced his self-created sage visualization technique from time to time, constantly gathering the Haoran Righteousness between Heaven and Earth, although most of the Haoran Righteousness was replenished into Du Xuan's literary heart, slowly replenishing the Haoran Righteousness Qi that Du Xuan had lost before, and a small part would dissipate around Du Xuan. A very small part of them was absorbed by the purple dragon scale horse. Du Xuan had previously used the holy light generated by the visualization technique to open the spiritual wisdom of the purple dragon scale horse, and with these heroic righteous qi, the spiritual wisdom of the opening could be stabilized. Naturally, the extremely faint thought that Du Xuan left in the purple dragon scale horse soul was slowly becoming stronger.

A few hours later, Du Xuan got down from the back of the purple dragon scale horse king, and re-sat on the small maroon red leader from before and left the group with the purple dragon scale horse king with attachment eyes.

"Third prince, that horse king is so intimate with you, why don't you just domesticate it?" Yang Wancai couldn't wait for Du Xuan to pocket all the dragon scale horses in the grassland in one go. There are tens of thousands of dragon scale horses in this entire grassland. If all these dragon-scale horses are collected into the possession of Black Bear Castle, tens of thousands of dragon-scale horse cavalry will be created in the future, which can directly sweep the barbarian cavalry. Even if the dragon scale horse cannot become the most critical factor in the victory or defeat of the war, it will inevitably change the victory or defeat of the local war.

"This purple dragon scale horse king is different from ordinary dragon scale horses, it has already opened its spiritual intelligence, and it is counterproductive to act in a hurry. My goal is not to turn these drakescale horses into cavalry mounts. Rather, we want to turn this dragon scale horse pasture into our horse farm. The Purple Dragon Scale Horse King will soon be able to be promoted to a spirit beast. With it guarding here, even if the barbarians find out about it, they can't take a dragon-scale horse from here. Du Xuan patiently explained to Yang Wancai this time.

Yang Wancai's face showed joy: "Third Prince, if this becomes our horse farm, then in the future, won't our dragon scale horse cavalry gradually expand? 10,000, 20,000...... Even 100,000 is possible!"

Du Xuan laughed: "One hundred thousand, you dare to think that there are only more than 10,000 dragon scale horses in this dragon scale horse pasture, and if you want to become one hundred thousand dragon scale horses, who knows when." ”

Yang Wancai has his reasoning: "We can have more than this one horse farm! If this purple dragon scale horse king becomes our horse king, we can let it divide some small leaders to take a group of dragon scale horses to other pastures." The third prince can make the purple dragon scale horse king become a spirit beast, and he can also make other dragon scale horse leaders evolve into spirit beasts. "If there are ten such horse farms, 100,000 dragon scale horses will not be a problem. Last time, we took nearly 100 dragon-scale horses, but this time, the number of dragon-scale horses here has not decreased, but increased, and I have seen a lot of dragon-scale horses in the herd. It shows that the reproductive ability of the dragon scale horse is not weak. It may be that this pasture limits their total number. ”

Du Xuan had seen such a statement in miscellaneous books. It's like an acre of Chiyang rice, no matter how intensively you cultivate, the yield will always have limitations. This dragon scale horse grassland is only so large that it can only accommodate so many dragon scale horses. Either a new dragon scale horse king leaves the pasture with a group of dragon scale horses, or these dragon scale horses slow down the breeding rate.

"That's a long way off. Not to mention 100,000 dragon scale horse cavalry, even if we bring all these 10,000 dragon scale horses back, with the situation of our Black Bear Castle, we will equip one or two thousand dragon scale horses at most. These dragon-scale horses eat a lot of food, and we can't afford to feed them when we bring them back. Du Xuan said.

"That's right. Yang Wancai said very frustratedly. It's a frustrating topic.

The dragon scale horse is very tall and large-bellied, and it eats at least three times as much as an ordinary war horse. Like the maroon dragon scale horse king that Du Xuan brought back last time, the amount of food eaten was at least ten times that of ordinary war horses. However, the dragon scale horse also has a huge advantage, that is, it has a good appetite and is not a picky eater. After the harvest of Chiyang rice, there is a large amount of Chiyang rice straw. Ordinary war horses don't like it very much. But the dragon scale horse is not picky at all, as long as it is full.

But even so, the appetite of the dozens of dragon-scale horses brought back last time still startled Du Xuan. If he really brought back thousands of dragon scale horses, Du Xuan really couldn't afford to raise them. Therefore, Du Xuan did not plan to bring all these dragon scale horses back, but built this place into a horse farm.

"By the way, Third Prince, the dragon scale horses are in this grassland, what do they eat in winter?" Yang Wancai suddenly thought of a question.

Du Xuan was also surprised: yes, in another two or three months, after the last harvest of Chiyang rice, the Chiyangwei area will enter a relatively long winter. In two or three months, the land will be covered with snow and ice. The grass in the pasture will be covered with a thick layer of snow and ice. Black Bear Fort dried all the red sun straw and stored it as rations for the dragon scale horses in winter. In addition, with some food, the ration of the dragon scale horse for the whole winter was solved. However, here in the pasture, the dragon-scale horses do not store their own forage for the winter, and once the pasture is covered with snow and ice, they have to migrate.

"I don't think so. Hu Benrui on the side said suddenly.

Du Xuan and Yang Wancai immediately set their eyes on Hu Benrui.

Seeing Du Xuan and Yang Wancai's gaze, Hu Benrui cleared his throat: "I mean, the dragon scale horses here don't necessarily need to migrate. The lake over there, I don't know if the third prince has seen it in the past?"

"After looking at it, is there anything strange about this lake?" Du Xuan asked puzzled. Although he had seen it in the past, he had only sat on horseback and watched from afar. The matter of fetching water will not be let him do it himself.

"The brother who fetched the water told me that the water in that lake was very hot. Near the foot of the mountain, it was like it was boiling. The water here is so hot, and this pasture is much warmer than Black Bear Fort. The grass in Fort Black Bear has begun to wither, but the grass is still so green. Hu Benrui said.

"Let's go, take me to the lake. Hu Benrui, you have made a great contribution this time. Du Xuan said excitedly.

Hu Benrui immediately took Du Xuan to the lake he was talking about. There is more than one lake here, some large and some small, the small one is only about a dozen acres in size, and the big one is endless. Looking over, the lake is filled with smoke. Before he reached the lake, Du Xuan felt a hot air rushing to his face. Before, Du Xuan sat on the back of the purple dragon scale horse king, allowing the purple dragon scale horse to gallop at will. When the purple dragon scale horse drank water, it chose those relatively small lakes, and the water temperature should be close to normal temperature. Du Xuan naturally didn't feel the heat here. If it weren't for the cleverness of the people under Hu Benrui's hands who explored all the lakes here, Du Xuan wouldn't have been able to discover the special place for a while.
