Chapter 165: Ride the wildest horse
Two herds of horses--if they really could be called horses-- were fighting hard by the lake, ramming and biting each other, ramming each other with their burly bodies, biting each other with their sharp teeth, and soon enough. More than one horse was injured, and blood stained the ground and a lake.
Panda watched from a distance, not intending to intervene.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest, this is the law of nature. He is just a traverser, and he is a relatively powerful paladin. Why should he intervene in the natural competition?
What's more, these two groups of horses... really don't look like a good thing.
If nothing else, just by looking at their sharp teeth and their skilled biting movements, you can tell that they are definitely not vegetarian animals.
The fight between beasts and beasts may be the fight between beasts and beasts, others just watch the fun.
Panda just watched silently. After a while, he posted a message in the group chat, roughly introducing the scene he saw, and asking if anyone knew what the two types of horses were.
His question was quickly answered, and Harmony, like a two-legged bookcase, knew the names and habits of these two monsters.
Their names really have the word "horse", but one is called "Qingya Ma" and the other is called "Water Horse".
Well, they are all monsters, the kind that eat people.
Both the blue tooth horse and the water horse are magical beasts of the dragon genus. It is generally believed that the blue tooth horse is a branch of the land dragon, and the water horse is a branch of the water dragon. Between Lu Xinglong and Shuilong, there was already racial hostility, and the territories of these two groups of monsters overlapped with each other. Naturally, water and fire were incompatible.
However, whether it is a blue tooth horse or a water horse, there is a rather embarrassing problem.
Their bodies are strong enough, but relatively, their offensive abilities are not very good.
The body of the blue-toothed horse is covered with thick scales, which are stronger than ordinary full-body armor, and cannot be pierced by ordinary swords, spears, swords, and halberds. This huge monster is accustomed to using charge and impact to knock down the enemy and make the enemy lose the ability to resist. As for the sharp teeth in the mouth, most of them are only used to complete the final blow and enjoy the prey.
The scales of water horses are weaker than that of blue-toothed horses, but they have a slippery mucus on their bodies. These greasy mucus can effectively reduce the damage caused by the collision, which greatly weakens the power of Qingya's usual methods. But the water horse's attack method is actually not as good as the blue tooth horse. The way they hunt is generally to lure the enemy first, wait for the enemy to approach the water's edge, then grab the enemy violently, drag it into the water to drown and then eat it. Qingya horses are generally larger than them, and at the moment it is a melee between two groups of monsters. In this kind of battle, they can't find the opportunity to use their best attacks.
The two groups of powerful monsters were torn apart like this. Although they were both aggressive and fiercely trying to deal a fatal blow to each other, they fought for a long time. Although they both suffered a lot of injuries, not even one of them was killed. No.
After a while, the sky gradually darkened, and the water horses retreated into the lake. The blue tooth horse temporarily prevailed, neighing happily by the lake, as if celebrating a victory.
Although... this victory is really meaningless.
The panda watched the battle with great interest, and then retreated to a place about three hundred paces away from the lake, ready to camp.
It is absolutely impossible to camp by the lake. Generally speaking, the area within a hundred paces from the shore is the area where aquatic monsters—such as water horses—may attack. And 300 paces is a relatively safe distance.
After cutting down and removing the grass around the camp, Panda took a little time and made a simple haystack for himself - this is his bed tonight.
The thorns and firewood that had been collected early were taken out from the props, and the thorns were surrounded by a circle to act as a fence; the firewood was lit to provide lighting and warmth.
Of course, what's more important is the magic that surrounds the entire camp.
The panda didn't cast any special spells, but just channeled the divine energy out and focused on the thorn fence surrounding the camp. These energies can last all night. Before the energy dissipates, all kinds of monsters will stay away from this area because they hate the sacred energy that is incompatible with them.
The panda lay on the hay next to the bonfire and fell asleep peacefully.
He wasn't at all afraid that something would attack him at night, and if there was someone who didn't hate divine energy, he would welcome it. Of course, he would welcome those who would be provoked by divine energy to attack.
The former is a good travel companion, and the latter is a good source of experience points.
As for the stronger ones, they were too powerful for him to deal with.
It's nothing more than a free return to the city, what's there to worry about?
The panda slept until the middle of the night, suddenly startled, woke up suddenly, and sat up.
There was a sense of danger in his heart. This feeling was not strong, but it was enough to wake him up.
Standing up and looking around, he saw the group of blue-toothed horses during the day.
These guys are sneaking close to the lake and don't know what to do.
According to Harmony, Qingya horses are able to move in the water. Although they are descendants of the ground dragons, there are many people who can swim in the ground dragons, but there are only a few land ducks.
Seeing them quietly underground water one by one, toward the middle of the lake, the water horses who were lying in the aquatic grass nest approached, the panda immediately understood what they meant.
This is to play night raid!
(I can't believe that a mere group of monsters would even play the night attack...)
Watching them swimming in the water almost silently, like shadows, the panda couldn't help squinting and laughing.
He was a little curious.
Will the water horses be defeated by Qingya Ma Kui Yeqi? What will they do if they are defeated? Will it fight to the end? Or will it run away?
Panda is looking forward to seeing the results.
But the development of the matter was completely contrary to his guess. When the blue tooth horse approached the lair of the water horse, the lake water suddenly shook violently, as if the whole lake was being shaken by someone, causing layers of waves.
The panda didn't expect this kind of thing, and the blue-toothed horses obviously didn't expect it. They let out short neighs in panic, then turned and backed away, trying to escape.
Obviously, although they are just a group of monsters, they are well versed in the truth that thirty-six strategies are the best strategy, and they can practice them well.
But it is not so easy to escape at this time!
Relying on the traps arranged around the lair, the water horses saw through the conspiracy of Qingya Ma's night attack. They were awakened without the slightest hesitation, and immediately rolled over into the water, and launched an attack on the blue-toothed horse who was also in the water.
As aquatic monsters, water horses are much stronger in the water than on the shore. On the contrary, Qingya Ma suffers very much in the water, and the usual collision skills cannot be used, and only 50 or 60% of the combat power of 100% is left.
This long and the other disappeared, and the water horse quickly took the advantage, and the blue tooth horse was in a terrible state. The panda even noticed that a smaller blue-toothed horse was entangled by several water horses with tentacle-like manes, some bit their heads, some bit their legs, and dragged them to the bottom of the lake.
Obviously, there will be only death waiting for it.
It's a pity that the number of water horses was not enough after all, and the blue-toothed horses retreated decisively enough, so only this one was dragged under the water in the end.
One is enough, and there are only ten Qingya horses in total, which is a loss of nearly one-tenth of the troops. To put it in an ancient war, it is simply enough to cause a great defeat!
Panda thought nonchalantly like this, watching Qingya Ma fled ashore in embarrassment, but was chased and killed by Shuima all the way.
Although the combat effectiveness of the water horse will be significantly weakened after the shore, but against the completely defeated Qingya horse, it is an advantage no matter what.
As soon as the two sides fled and chased, they quickly moved away from the lake and gradually approached a small wood not far away.
At this moment, a blue-gray figure rushed out of the woods like lightning.
It was a particularly majestic blue-toothed horse. It was at least two heads taller than ordinary blue-toothed horses. The burly body was full of strength, and the blue-gray scales reflected the cold light in the moonlight. It looked very vicious.
It jumped high, jumped from the air to the front of a water horse, its iron hooves larger than the palm of an ordinary person fell heavily, and with just one foot, the head of the water horse burst into bloom!
And its attack didn't end there, instead it jumped up again with the power of this step, showing extraordinary agility and lightness.
This time it jumped higher, and when the iron hoof fell, it was even heavier.
The sound of broken bones could be clearly heard hundreds of steps away.
What followed was a low whine.
The leader of the water horse, a particularly strong water horse, was trampled and his brain burst, and it seemed that he could not survive.
The blue-toothed horse jumped up again and stomped hard.
A series of movements were as smooth as running clouds and flowing water, but also short-lived as lightning bolts. It only took a few blinks of eyes before and after. The water horses that were aggressively chasing the blue-toothed horses just now fell to the ground. Except for the last two who ran fast and finally escaped into the water in time, all the others died under the hooves of this burly and light blue-toothed horse.
After defeating the old opponent in one breath, the blue-toothed horse did not stop there, but let out a loud neigh at the other companions.
Although pandas do not understand animal language, they can understand its meaning.
Come with me, attack!
Along with the neighing, this particularly majestic blue-toothed horse jumped into the water, and other companions jumped into the water one after another, chasing and killing the fleeing water horse.
The panda watched all this from a distance, watching the last few water horses fled to the shore in a panic, but were chased and killed by the blue-toothed horse, and in the end not one of them survived.
He couldn't help shaking his head in admiration.
The particularly majestic blue-toothed horse is obviously the king of the herd. It specially arranged such a plan to deceive and lure the enemy, just to use a decisive battle to completely eliminate this group of old opponents.
As it turns out, its plan worked.
In other words, as long as a suitable opportunity is found to allow its powerful power to be fully exerted, this war between the two species can be brought to an end.
Looking at Ma Wang who cheered, Panda smiled slightly, and couldn't help but have a wonderful idea.
If you can tame this guy and make it your own mount, then you must not only be mighty and domineering, but also be able to help a lot!
At this time, he couldn't help but think of a companion's catchphrase.
To be human is to climb the highest mountain and ride the wildest horse!
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, laughed loudly, and rushed towards Ma Wang.
