Chapter 23: The Strange Beast Qimao
After a brief conversation with the group of people, Yang Tian decided to take a look at that so-called secret passage, and also to have some peace of mind.
Du Chaoyuan would not refuse, so he called a villager to lead the way for Yang Tian and others, and he himself did not plan to go. The reason was that he still had many things to deal with. But in Yang Tian's heart, he despised him, afraid of death is just afraid of death! What did he say about being busy?
Others were unwilling to go, so Yang Tian couldn't force them. Under the leadership of a villager from Tianhe Village, Yang Tian and Big Cow followed, while Wang Lao and another villager stayed behind in the village as they would only drag their feet.
It turned out that this so-called secret path was just behind Tianhe Village at the foot of the mountain.
The villager moved away a large pile of branches, revealing a large cave about 4 meters high and 7-8 meters wide, with an inky black interior that seemed bottomless.
The villager who led the way gave Da Niu a torch and turned to leave, throwing this mess completely to Yang Tian and the two.
He gave a villager's back a middle finger comparison, then Yang Tianya casually tilted his head and entered the cave.
After going in, the big cow walked ahead. In such a dangerous place, the big cow seriously took on the role of bodyguard.
Entering the cave for four or five hundred meters, nothing unusual was found.
But from here, it can no longer be called a cave, because looking up here you can see the sky, and the surroundings can also be seen clearly. The entire cave has become a fissure, extending to the distant horizon.
This crack is quite strange, with a width of 400-500 meters at the bottom, and only about 10 meters at the top. The steep cliffs on both sides are hundreds of feet high, making it impossible to climb up.
What's even stranger is that the ground below was covered with low-growing trees, a dark river flowed from the central fissure, and near the exit it all drilled into the ground. It's simply a rare wonder!
However, Yang Tian and the others had no heart to appreciate them now, because he saw that among these trees stood many things that were like horses but not horses. Except for the two curved horns on their heads, they were no different from ordinary horses. These horses were all crimson in color, which was a major feature.
What is this thing?
Yang Tian looked at it for half a day and still didn't understand. He had only heard that horses and donkeys interbreed to produce mules, could this thing be the offspring of a horse and a cow interbreeding?
Fortunately, Yang Tian also knew that many things in "Tian Xia" were not to be inquired into too deeply, so he directly ignored this issue. Looking at the hundreds of horned horses within his line of sight (temporarily referred to as horned horses), Yang Tian decided to go and try out their depth.
Yang Tian and the other two quietly approached a horned horse, and the bull raised his spear and stabbed at it.
But the result was not very satisfactory, that corner horse suddenly became alert and actually jumped away at an extremely fast speed, making Yang Tian's eyes wide with surprise. Not to mention ordinary wild horses, even a leopard would have been killed by this shot.
But now the facts are before his eyes, and Yang Tian cannot help but believe.
Suddenly saw this just jumped up horned horse kicking and whinnying, with great effort, soon, those horned horses around it that were leisurely eating also started whinnying...
"Not good! Run fast!" Yang Tian finally reacted, patted the big cow's shoulder, and then took off running! Immediately afterwards, all the corner horses around him charged over.
However, Yang Tian, this low-ranking martial general, seems to be unable to outrun the four-legged horned horse!
As the horse herd approached Yang Tian, a big cow that was just one step ahead of him couldn't bear to watch anymore. It grabbed Yang Tian with its mouth and carried him on its shoulders, galloping away...
After experiencing a thrilling and electrifying feeling, Yang Tian and the others finally ran out of the fissure area and into the mountain cave. The light here was dim, so they didn't have to worry about those cornered horses charging in. Moreover, the passageway was relatively narrow, even if they charged in, Big Bull could block them.
Looking at the dense horse herd outside the cave, Yang Tian's scalp felt a bit numb. He found that these guys had run for such a long distance and hadn't even panted. Fortunately, they didn't plan to drill in for the time being.
It was at this time that Yang Tiancai had time to think about some issues.
It stands to reason that if we're talking about sprinting speed, ordinary warhorses are only on par with sixth-tier soldiers or low-level martial generals. Of course, a horse's endurance is unmatched by humans; the average person can only sprint for 400 meters before becoming exhausted. However, at this moment, these horned horses seemed to be moving at an abnormal speed. According to Yang Tian's estimate, these horned horses were basically able to keep up with mid-tier martial generals' speeds, which was 40% to 50% faster than ordinary warhorses. This was a terrifying statistic; in the game data compiled later on, Yang Tian found out that even the best mount for light cavalry, the superior Wuhuan horse, only had a speed 40% higher than an ordinary warhorse.
Yang Tian's eyes began to shine as he gazed at the horned horses wandering not far ahead. If they could form a cavalry of archers riding these horned horses, it would be quite perverted.
In the game, wild monsters like cows and horses were originally tamable. The probability of taming a wild cow was about 1%, while that of taming a wild horse was less than 0.1%. If the taming failed, it would starve to death. Fortunately, ordinary wild horses only belonged to level 20 monsters. If you were lucky, when building a village, the large camp spawned would be a wild horse camp. As long as someone had a hand, almost every day, you could get an ordinary warhorse. When the territory level was upgraded and the spawn points increased, you could also get more warhorses. This was also the way most players obtained warhorses in the following year.
Although Yang Tian knew that war horses could also be raised, due to the lack of herdsmen, Yang Tian couldn't play any tricks. Now? He can only tame the war horse honestly, but Yang Tian has an advantage that others don't have, that is, the beast enclosure. As long as Yang Tian can catch these horses back, there will always be a time when these guys will be tamed.
It's still a bit difficult for Yang Tian to catch the horse now. The situation just now is still vivid in my mind! Although the big cow's shot didn't use its full strength, it can be seen that the reaction speed of these horned horses is much stronger than other 60-level monsters. Even if all other attributes are very poor, just looking at their reaction ability, the basic level of these horned horses is above 40 levels.
Moreover, these horned horses seem to be exceptionally united, pulling one hair and moving the whole body! The main reason is that this horned horse group was produced by a hidden task of the system, that is, after these horses were killed, they could not be refreshed again, killing one would lose one! Otherwise, relying on Yang Tian's team of five or six-level soldiers, it's estimated that they could still exhaust these horned horses to death.
Helpless, Yang Tian had no choice but to return to Tianhe Village with Big Cow. It was already past noon at this time, and after arranging for Big Cow, Yang Tian also went offline to eat.
Yang Tian went online again and didn't stay in Tianhe Village for long. He still had to go back and kill the bandits...
