Chapter 222: Steed Like a Spreading Wildfire
Luo Ji himself wasn’t a horse lover, but this fiery red wild horse was different.
When it galloped, it had an unstoppable momentum.
That wild and dominant feeling made Luo Ji fall in love with it at first sight!
It was so fast.
Luo Ji, as the tribal chief, was riding a warhorse that was already one in a hundred, yet the distance between them grew wider and wider.
Seeing this fiery red wild horse about to run far away, he couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.
When it came to things he liked, he was the type of person who absolutely had to get them.
His personality was surprisingly very strong.
It was fortunate that he didn’t like many things, otherwise, he would definitely be a very troublesome person.
But from another perspective, perhaps it was precisely because he liked very few things that he became so assertive when facing the few things he did like?
He whipped his horse repeatedly.
After forcing his warhorse to gallop for a certain distance, Luo Ji, who usually disliked risks, suddenly gritted his teeth.
He jumped directly onto the back of the fiery red wild horse, regardless of the consequences!
This action terrified Bai Ze, who was chasing behind.
His heart practically leaped into his throat in an instant.
Then, what he expected happened…
“Hee–!!!”
The fiery red wild horse, sensing someone on its back, let out a warning neigh.
Then its strong body began to buck and struggle wildly, trying to throw the human off its back!
But having reached this point, how could Luo Ji be so easily defeated by it?
He gritted his teeth, clutched the fiery red wild horse’s neck tightly with both hands, and pressed his body as low as possible, practically sticking to the horse’s back.
No matter how the wild horse bucked and struggled, he just wouldn’t let go.
At this time, it was a battle of physical strength and willpower.
The wild horse’s constant wild thrashing and struggling clearly hindered its speed increase.
Its overall running speed noticeably decreased.
Seizing the opportunity, Bai Ze decisively led the cavalry squad behind him in pursuit.
And facing this scene, the guard unit, whose first consideration was Luo Ji’s personal safety, reacted by wanting to kill the horse to save the person!
As if seeing their intention, Luo Ji, who was currently lying prone on the horse’s back, suddenly shouted loudly.
“No one is allowed to act!”
“This is my order!!”
Luo Ji’s order put the few accompanying guards who were about to act in a difficult position.
On one side was the Chief’s order, and on the other was the Chief’s safety.
How were they supposed to choose?
Disregarding the order and killing the wild horse might lead to blame, or even punishment, from the Chief.
But if they didn’t kill the wild horse, the Chief’s safety was unknown.
What if he got injured, or even something worse happened?
Thinking of this, their eyes simultaneously fell upon Bai Ze…
Feeling everyone’s gaze, Bai Ze’s mood was also delicate.
Anyone could see that this fiery red wild horse was definitely a good horse, and killing it would be a shame.
Moreover, Luo Ji himself had given the order not to act.
Thinking of this, Bai Ze simply went along with Luo Ji’s wishes.
“Everyone follow the Leader’s order, do not act!”
“Then everyone spread out and surround this area!”
Not acting was one thing, but if this wild horse ran further away, it would also be a troublesome matter.
Bai Ze’s action was undoubtedly wise.
Silently giving Bai Ze a thumbs-up in his heart, Luo Ji, who no longer had the energy to be distracted, quickly concentrated on taming the fiery red wild horse before him.
“Huh? Is it my imagination?”
“It seems that since a while ago, it hasn’t been bucking as violently as it was initially…”
As this thought flashed through his mind, feeling his body, which was almost falling apart from another thrashing motion, Luo Ji decisively stated that was his imagination!
However, in reality, it wasn’t so.
Horses are emotional and delicate animals.
Luo Ji’s actions just now made it feel his goodwill.
Perhaps it was still thrashing and struggling, but compared to the beginning, it had lost some of its desperate struggle.
After who knows how long, probably finally tired, the fiery red wild horse, which had been wildly bucking and struggling, gradually calmed down.
But Luo Ji, lying prone on the horse’s back, didn’t move.
He needed to catch his breath.
Honestly, his entire body was almost losing sensation.
This sudden impulse today really brought him trouble.
Then, after taking a slight breath, Luo Ji asked in a weak voice.
“Well? Are you convinced now?”
The fiery red wild horse, hearing Luo Ji’s words, blinked.
Then it suddenly snorted. It wasn’t clear if it was responding to Luo Ji’s words, or if it simply wanted to sneeze
[System notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for successfully taming the treasured steed ‘Unnamed.’]
[System notification: Would you like to name the treasured steed?]
“Huh?”
Luo Ji was startled by the series of system notifications ringing in his mind.
“There’s this too?”
“Why didn’t I get this notification when I obtained a mount before?”
But no matter what, this system notification undoubtedly confirmed that this wild horse had been tamed by him.
Luo Ji, relieved, sat up with some effort from the horse’s back.
Then he reached out and stroked its mane.
As for the name, he had thought of it the moment he first saw this wild horse, Liaoyuan Huo!
“From today onwards, you shall be called Liaoyuanhuo!”
“Hee-!!!”
It seemed to really like its domineering new name, letting out a joyous neigh on the spot.
And a window similar to an attribute panel quickly popped up in front of Luo Ji’s eyes…
[Name: Liaoyuan Huo
Type: Mount
Description: A magnificent steed that, when galloping wildly, resembles a spreading wildfire…
Effect: When riding this mount, movement speed increases by 40%, Bravery-type skill effects increase by 30%, and Leadership-type skill effects increase by 60%.]
“Bravery-type skill effects increase by thirty percent, Leadership-type skill effects increase by sixty percent?!”
After reading Liaoyuanhuo’s attribute panel, Luo Ji almost gasped on the spot.
This treasured steed’s buffs were truly powerful!!
At this moment, he finally realized what a treasured steed was.
He instinctively looked at his original mount.
Then he found that his original mount didn’t have an attribute panel that could be opened.
In other words, only warhorses that reached the level of a treasured steed would have an attribute panel.
His original mount, although a good horse, seemed to be some distance from being a treasured steed, which is why he received no system notifications when he acquired it.
