Yuan Zhan was not very surprised and eager to hear the bad news about the hunting team.
"Every year the original hunting team goes out and it is impossible for all members to return. They may encounter any situation, powerful beasts, ferocious savages, including weather, terrain, insects and ants, etc. may take away some soldiers. This time our hunting The team consists of ten blood warriors and 150 fighters, plus the 200 fighters sent by the Yuanji tribe, even if there are not as many fighters as Yuanji originally sent, the combat effectiveness will not be much worse."
Seeing Yuan Zhan's calm expression, Yan Mo also gradually calmed down. This is also the difference between him and Yuan Zhan, he doesn't want to hurt anyone, and he has a headache when he hears that someone is injured, but Yuan Zhan feels that it is normal for any travel to have some casualties.
"When they set off, I told Jiong that this hunt would be very dangerous. Because the places they are going to go are all roads that have never been traveled. What kind of ferocious beasts will be there along the way, what terrible terrain will be there, what will they encounter, We don't know, they all know how dangerous this hunt will be. Mo, we are the leaders and priests, and it is impossible for us to block anything that happens, so that the other warriors of the tribe will never change. They need to be strong, and they are different from the Awu people, so they don’t need us to teach them how to do things, especially in fighting and hunting.”
Yan Mo exhaled lightly. In fact, he still doesn't believe in the abilities of the primitive people here from the bottom of his heart. He thinks that he is the best, and that the people of Jiuyuan can't do anything without him, so whenever something happens, he thinks about how to solve it, and completely ignores these primitive people. human ability.
In fact, compared to their survivability in this world, not to mention the experienced fighters of Ji and Zhe, even Sand Wolf can beat him by a block. What he has more than them is not survival experience, but the knowledge accumulated in the original world for thousands of years.
But having this knowledge doesn't mean he is better than these people, don't you believe it? Just find a college student from his original world and throw him into the deep mountains and old forests. Without any modern tools, he can survive for a week and he will be considered a strong man.
Once people calm down, they can see more facts, "You are right, I should believe them. Since they didn't blow the horn for help or light the smoke, it means that they don't need our help."
"I'm glad you can worry about them." After Yuan Zhan said this sentence without end, he sent someone to shout.
Yan Mo pursed his lips, are you worried? Well, he does worry. Compared with the previous attitude of being able to withdraw at any time, he has indeed devoted more and more affection to this tribe that has cost him a lot of effort and is still under construction.
Meng set off again with a pile of dried meat on his back. This time his task was to find the hunting team and see if they needed support.
Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo still stayed in the tribe to handle various affairs of the tribe, both of them wanted to make all the preparations for the winter before the hunting team came back.
Yan Mo went to communicate with the leader of the wildebeest. Yuan Zhan reminded him: "We have caught wildebeest before. Adults are very difficult to catch, and cubs will die within a few days. They... in your words It’s just that they have a very strong temper. It’s best if you can communicate with them, otherwise those wildebeests will keep trying to jump out of the pit, even if they are bumped to death, starved to death, or exhausted, I think they will not be able to persuade them.”
As Yuan Zhan said, Yan Mo lost the first communication.
The wisdom of these wildebeests is not as high as that of Jiufeng, but their thoughts are much stronger than the vague consciousness of plants, and they are easier to communicate, but it is also more difficult to speak.
They may not yet understand the concept of freedom, but when they hear that they will be ridden by people, help people carry things, etc., none of them are willing. Even if Yan Mo said that he would provide them with winter food.
Seeing that persuasion failed, he had to resort to threats of force. Yan Mo strongly stated that unless they are willing to leave a hundred obedient ones, the whole wildebeest herd cannot leave. Whether the whole herd should be killed for meat or be friendly and cooperative depends on their choice.
But that horse was more sexual than Yan Mo thought, and he would rather bend than bend.
After starving the group of wildebeest for a day, Yan Mo came to talk to the leading horse again, saying that they could take a step back, as long as some of the wildebeest were grown up, and the rest could be filled with foals.
"You also know that winter is coming. Once there is no rich grassland, your adult horses can survive on grass roots and other omnivores, but what about your young horses? Even if you don't leave them to us, they can survive after a winter How much down?"
"We can take care of your cubs, and we won't abuse them. Every Jiuyuan person will regard them as their partners. If there is a bite of our food, there will definitely be them." Yan Mo said solemnly: "Here , I can give you a promise, as long as you are willing to stay and help us, I will never take the initiative to kill wildebeests even if I starve to death in the future!"
The toast horse was finally willing to look at Yan Mo again, and those eyes that could be called pure were fixed on him.
Yan Mo persisted, "I can't guarantee that each of us will treat you like brothers, but I will write the rule of cherishing the wildebeest as my own brothers into the military regulations, and try my best to ensure that I will not hurt you."
The first horse didn't know if it fully understood the passage, moved its hooves, snorted at Yan Mo, and made a "Herod" sound.
Yan Mo understood, "Do you think it's a humiliation to be trapped in a pit? It's also a humiliation to take the initiative to leave your offspring? Don't you believe that the soldiers of Jiuyuan will treat you as brothers? Okay, I'll let you out! Besides, let's have a Let’s go to a blind date meeting, and I’ll let you choose your own future partners.”
The Jiuyuan people, dwarves, and mermaids, who were not threatened by war, heard that there was going to be a blind date meeting between the Jiuyuan people and the wildebeest. Many people came out to watch the fun, even the Yuanji and Granma people heard the rumors. .
"What is a blind date?"
"I heard that it means looking at each other. If you see each other, you will become a pair."
"Huh? Humans want to mate with wildebeests?"
"What? Humans want to have babies with wildebeests?"
"I heard that a group of wildebeests will join Jiuyuan, and there will be horsemen in the future!"
After only half a day, the rumors spread to Yan Mo's ears and turned into: I heard that the wildebeest will give the most beautiful mare to the chief of Jiuyuan...
In the afternoon, the weather was fine. On the edge of the moat outside the west city, a group of more than 400 wildebeest formed a big circle and watched the humans on the opposite side vigilantly.
There were more and more humans and dwarves crossing the river, and there were also many mermaids crowded here to watch the excitement, and many mermaids and mermaid cubs also came.
Nine Wind and the Iron-backed Dragon squeezed to the innermost circle and leaned against the river bank. No matter how frightened the nearby creatures were by their huge body and ferocious appearance, they happily planned to watch the excitement of humans and wildebeest .
Jiuyuan warriors appeared one after another, and finally the leader and priest of Jiuyuan also came out.
Yan Mo looked at Yuan Zhan's lower body, and said seriously: "Maybe you can indeed satisfy a full-grown wildebeest."
Yuan Zhan turned his head and smiled wildly at his priest, "I want to ride you even more."
Yan Mo waved his hand, "Come on, the first batch of third-level fighters, it's up to you whether you can subdue the wildebeest. Remember, no blood is allowed!"
Yuan Zhan laughed, but Yan Mo didn't hear it, so he wouldn't be stupid enough to continue teasing a cattle man who was so energetic that he had nowhere to vent, let alone give him any excuse to tease him.
The first batch of third-level fighters selected were very nervous, and the wildebeest was even more nervous. The two sides stared at each other like enemies.
Jiufeng let out a strange laugh of "Jie Jie", which attracted Yan Mo's sideways glance, this silly bird can still laugh
Jiufeng called Yan Mo and wanted to introduce him to his good friend Tiebeilong's family.
"I'll leave the rest to you." Yan Mo left Yuan Zhan very irresponsibly, and joined the Four Evil Clan in full view.
"Jie, Mo Mo, what are you going to do with the wildebeest? Wildebeest meat is delicious."
"Ang Ang, eat meat, eat meat!" This is the iron-backed dragon cub, it has been salivating for a long time looking at those plump wildebeests, although it has already gnawed on one of them on the way.
The iron-backed dragon's parents were very calm, lying on the ground calmly, and calmly gnawed together a mad cow not much smaller than them, which was their prey today.
There was an open space around the four evil parties, no one dared to approach them, and no mermaids dared to stay on the river bank behind them, but many people were watching them secretly.
When they saw that Yan Mo was not afraid at all, and swaggered into the four evil parties, everyone was surprised, admired and even slightly jealous. Everyone in Jiuyuan is extremely proud. Look, this is our priest!
When Yan Mo approached the iron-backed dragon father, the iron-backed dragon father suddenly raised his head and sniffed at him, and let out an angry snort: Bad boy!
Yan Mo broke into a cold sweat, this big guy still remembered him.
Jiufeng let out a "Jie-" sound, and the iron-backed dragon father roared at it with an "ang--".
The herd of wildebeests was in chaos, and Yuan Zhan stared at this side.
Yan Mo coughed, took out a piece of bacon the size of a fist from his pocket, and handed it to Father Iron-backed Dragon.
The iron-backed dragon father sniffed, and even opened his mouth to eat the bacon.
Yan Mo thought to himself, you are not afraid of me being poisoned.
"Is it delicious? Do you want another piece?"
Jiufeng is jealous, I want it too!
"You can't eat too much salty food." Yan Mo pushed away Jiufeng's bird's beak, and took out another piece of bacon.
This time, before the iron-backed dragon could open his mouth, he was snatched away by the iron-backed dragon cub rushing over, "Ang Ang, it's delicious, I want more!"
A stone hit Yan Mo, and Yan Mo turned his head.
I saw Ramon lying on the bank of the river and waving his hands at him, "Lord Xiao Mo."
Jiu Feng followed and turned his head, his eyes brightened, "Jie! Fat fish!"
Ramon's movements froze.
Yan Mo laughed, and walked to Ramon's side, "What's the matter?"
"Uh, I originally wanted to ask you, should those wildebeest be changed?" Ramon tried to calm down under the pressure of Jiufeng.
Jiu Feng strolled over, aiming at Ramon with a pair of sharp and shrewd phoenix eyes.
Ramon suddenly fell into the water, and after a while he brought out two big fish and respectfully lowered them to the shore.
The big fish was still alive, struggling and slapping the ground to jump back into the river. Jiufeng stepped forward and knocked the two big fish unconscious with one paw.
The iron-backed dragon cub thought it was something delicious, but seeing it was a fish, he immediately turned his head and slapped Yan Mo with disgust, "Ang Ang! Give meat, give meat!" The fish is not tasty, it smells bad and the fishbone will hurt its mouth And throat, it never wants to touch it once.
While digging out meat to feed the iron-backed dragon cub, Yan Mo asked Ramon with a smile, "What do you want wildebeest for?"
Ramon wiped off the non-existent cold sweat, and said as a matter of course: "Eat meat, we have never eaten it."
Yan Mo, "... this batch of wildebeests is not good, I promise them that as long as they are willing to keep some of them, we will not harm them."
"You don't eat meat, why do you want wildebeest?" Ramon wondered.
"ride."
Ramon's expression became a little subtle, "You want to ride a wildebeest?"
"Yes."
Ramon said tactfully, "Even if you have few women, how about riding wildebeest? Will they give birth to you?"
Yan Mo, "..." Why did everyone think that Jiuyuan was looking for wildebeests to mate? Is his thinking too conservative, or is this world too wonderful
"I heard from our big witch that there seems to be a group of intelligent creatures with human heads, but horse-like intelligent creatures from the neck down. They also have scales and wings on their bodies, and their fighting power is very powerful. That race is called the Qilin tribe."
In fact, he has come to a more bizarre world of Shan Hai Jing.
"If you can have offspring with wildebeests, maybe we mermaids can try to mate with you, at least our upper body looks the same." Ramon said very seriously.
The corner of Yan Mo's mouth twitched, and he quickly changed the subject, "What will you bring for the first market transaction in winter?"
"What do you want?"
"Plants, fruits, fish, anything is fine." Yan Mo took a fancy to the sea-buckthorn fruits of the mermaid clan, and planned to get more of them this year, and plant them in large quantities inside and outside Jiuyuan City next year.
Yan Mo and Ramon were talking about something, when Yuan Zhan's voice suddenly came: "Mo!"
Yan Mo and Ramon turned their heads to look at Yuan Zhan.
Yuan Zhan pointed to the wildebeest herd.
When the pit became flat, the herd of wildebeests wanted to run away, but the leading horse was irritable and hesitant after seeing the four murderous parties drooling at them, and finally had to choose to be a trustworthy wildebeest , led the wildebeest herd to stay where they were and did not run away. In fact, they were starved for a day and a half, and they did not have much strength and confidence to escape from the encirclement.
The poor wildebeests lowered their heads to eat grass as soon as they were released, and even ran to the river to drink water, watching the mermaids and being watched by the mermaids.
Later, more and more humanoid creatures came out, and the herd of wildebeests quickly formed a big circle, surrounding the cubs in the middle.
After the first batch of Jiuyuan warriors who wanted to choose the wildebeest as their partners came out, both sides were very nervous, and no one moved after a long confrontation.
Seeing this, Yan Mo had no choice but to come over and said to both parties: "You look at each other, if the warriors in Jiuyuan look at a certain wildebeest, but that wildebeest doesn't like you, you can go forward and challenge it, try Can you ride on it? Let me tell you first, this is a very dangerous thing. If you fall off, you may be injured, disabled or even die. If you don’t have the courage, don’t challenge it. But if anyone can tame a certain wildebeest, That wildebeest will be that person's best partner in the future!"
Later, Yan Mo said his promise to the wildebeest herd.
The wildebeest group relaxed a little, and no longer glared so hostilely at the Jiuyuan warrior standing in front of them.
Sand Wolf was the first to hit the ground running.
Yan Mo smiled when he saw the big bag of wild alfalfa that he said could be used as pasture on the sand wolf's back. Who said that primitive people can't use their brains to do things? Some primitive people can create a miracle with just a little tweaking!
