Chapter 334: Here and Gone
“Is it okay to let them roam freely like this?”
Zhang Mu was curious. He never had the chance to interact with the mutated warhorses that had all been taken away and abandoned in the past life.
Hachikuju looked at this serene and peaceful world and said, “Perhaps it’s because the horses have a spiritual connection, and they have nostalgic ties. Even if their original owners turned into zombies and either became a member of the zombie horde or turned into fertilizer for this vast grassland, they chose not to leave.”
We can communicate with the leader of the mutated horse herd. Each capital city’s horse ranch has one horse.
We marked out this area in the capital city for these warhorses. In exchange, we can also take along the warhorses that are willing to go with us, including on their own will.
Of course, the leader of the mutated horse herd is not like the grassland eagle. It stays separate from the herd and usually rests in a quiet place. Normally, no first-tier mutated warhorse would dare to approach it.
Zhang Mu looked at Hachikuju and asked, “Isn’t that the King of Warhorses? It seems like it’s not interested in being the leader. Could it be the Red Blood? I remember you mentioning, Brother Hachikuju, that only the Red Blood dares to challenge the King of Warhorses head-on. It should be the Red Blood.”
Unexpectedly, Hachikuju shook his head at Zhang Mu, explaining, “Red Blood has been with me since I was little. In my tribe, when we become adults, we are given our own little horse as a gift, so we have a special bond.”
When fighting alongside Red Blood, it’s no exaggeration to say that it was like an extension of my body.
Even after the apocalypse, although Red Blood’s appearance has changed and it’s become a bit wilder, it has never left me. It couldn’t possibly be one of those mutated warhorses without an owner.
Usually, only the people originally from Inner Mongolia’s ancient capital come to the horse ranch to find good horses.”
The bond between Hachikuju and Red Blood wasn’t formed overnight; the experiences he occasionally mentioned were already very close to the kind of connection Zhang Mu had heard about before.
Unity between man and horse!
Suddenly, Zhang Mu recalled the last thing Hachikuju emphasized and blurted out, “We original Inner Mongolians only come here. Could it be the leader of the mutated warhorses from before?”
Hachikuju looked somewhat conflicted and said slowly,
“Yes, it’s Green Sky.
Su Rui’s warhorse, Green Sky.”
Zhang Mu looked at Hachikuju, “Can Green Sky still command the group of mutated warhorses here after leaving?”
Hachikuju thought Zhang Mu was worried about something and burst into laughter.
“I say, Zhang Mu, if that were true, Su Rui would have been riding on our necks by now.
Here, there are nearly five thousand ownerless mutated warhorses. If Green Sky can still command them, won’t Su Rui’s power increase several times, making them the dominant force?
You are overthinking, my friend. Even if Green Sky has not been tamed by Su Rui, it cannot force its own kind to be tamed by others.
Choosing a partner is like choosing a mate, you have to see eye to eye to be together, outside pressure is basically useless.
If the leader of the warhorse group is tamed by someone, it will no longer be recognized by the entire group. In that case, a new leader will naturally come forward to take its place.”
Zhang Mu felt relieved after Hachikuju teased him like this.
If Green Sky could command all the warhorses here, the danger would be huge.
But he was also worried for no reason. How could other warhorse leaders not have thought of such an obvious thing?
If the leader who took away the warhorses could also take away these five thousand first-tier mutant warhorses, they would definitely not let anyone touch this horse.
Only when the strength is evenly distributed can everyone be temporarily satisfied. Once this balance is disturbed, unless an overwhelming force appears, the situation will occur.
Otherwise, if the remaining people unite, no one would dare to underestimate their strength.
“Hey, Brother Hachikuju, hurry and call someone, we can almost eat lunch!”.
Zhang Mu urged repeatedly, he was eager to see that divine horse.
“I almost forgot about the important matter, look at my memory.”
Hachikuju slapped his head and led Zhang Mu towards the watchtower beside the huge wall.
At the entrance of the watchtower, there was a man standing bare-chested, bowing respectfully, waiting for Hachikuju and the others to arrive.
Hachikuju regained his composure, feeling like they had wasted enough time, so without further ado, he called out directly.
“Activate the Gold Silkworm Matrix, summon the other three warhorse leaders.”
The man looked troubled, fearing to anger Hachikuju, carefully said, “City Lord Hachikuju, the city is not currently under threat from mutant beasts or large zombie hordes. What you’re doing is against the rules, it’s difficult for me to comply.”
Hachikuju opened his eyes wide, stared at the man and said, “I didn’t say the city is under threat now. Did you forget the other purpose for the Gold Silkworm urgent signal?”
“Are you suggesting…?”
The man’s face was filled with disbelief, showing that it had been a long time since he had used this method to urgently summon the warhorse leaders.
Hachikuju grunted and nodded lightly.
“I understand, please wait here with your friend.”
The man was clever and knew that the two people brought by Hachikuju were the main characters today, so he spoke more respectfully.
As the man rushed into the watchtower, Hachikuju held up the giant axe and said, “It will be ready soon.”
After about five minutes, Zhang Mu suddenly noticed a very obvious energy fluctuation in Hachikuju’s chest.
The largest Hachikuju then took out the small box that Zhang Mu had seen before, which contained the young silk worm, and showed it to the two of them.
“When the mother is threatened, the young silk worm keeps hitting the walls of the special material box, causing energy fluctuations.”
“How amazing!”
Yuan Rui, who was standing aside exclaiming in surprise, wanted to open the black box to see, but Hachikuju took it back.
He smiled and said, “It’s fine to open it just now, but if the silk worm jumps out in this state, it will bite you and never let go.”
After hearing this from Hachikuju, Yuan Rui became even more curious.
Zhang Mu once saw this special communication tool in Era Universal Merchandise, but it didn’t mean much to him. He always overlooked it, but he remembered that the Golden Silkworm was also quite valuable.
On the other side of Ordos City, Su Rui sat in a small tavern that he had already rented out, surrounded by the soldiers of the Grey Wolf Riders.
He held a jade bowl filled with freshly warmed wine.
He took a slight breath, the jade bowl just touching his lips, when suddenly a strong energy wave shook violently in his chest.
Su Rui set down the jade bowl and took out a black box from his pocket, his expression instantly becoming more intense.
Three waves, is he seeking trouble with the Grassland Eagles?
Seeing Su Rui stand up, a confidant nearby asked in confusion, “My lord, what’s wrong?”
Su Rui chuckled, picked up the jade bowl he had just set down, drank all the wine inside, left a few words, and then walked out of the small tavern alone.
“You guys continue drinking, make some extra money, I’ll be back soon.”
