Chapter 38 Hunting on Warhorses

On this day, the primitive tribe's public hunting grounds witnessed a rare sight: a horse hunt.

Members of the Black Deer tribe's elite armed forces practiced their horsemanship by hunting alongside the tribe's hunting team.

This series of actions significantly improved the hunting team's efficiency!

The elite armed members of the Black Goose tribe chase their prey on warhorses and then attack them from a distance with bows and arrows!

When prey is injured, the tribal hunting team and elite armed members work together to drive away and surround the prey, a process that achieves twice the result with half the effort.

The hunting party had a bountiful harvest, and they quickly completed their hunting mission for the day! They then returned to their tribe.

Ji, the chieftain of the Black Goose tribe, was deeply moved as she watched the Black Deer tribe's hunting team use their warhorses for the hunt: "Why didn't I think of taming these captured wild horses first, so the hunting team could use them to hunt and greatly improve efficiency! But getting an adult to ride on the back of these wild horses is no easy task! How did the Black Deer tribe manage to do it? Their members' warhorses carry something like a stone bench on their backs! I guess that thing ensures that while the horse is running, the rider can also work!"

The Falcon Tribe chief, observing the Black Deer Tribe's elite armed members and hunting team's incredibly efficient hunting, couldn't help but admire the Black Deer Tribe's culture and technology—a top-tier existence among all primitive tribes! The Black Deer Tribe was paradise in the eyes of primitive people! A place every primitive person dreamed of going to.

The Falcon tribe chief decided to exchange the fresh game his tribe had accumulated over this period for the Black Deer tribe's bows, arrows, bridles, and saddles!

Their Falcon tribe desperately needs cavalry like the Black Deer tribe!

In the primitive world, the midstream tribes now drive the animals they catch during their hunts to the Black Deer tribe to exchange for the equipment that matches their warhorses.

After this warhorse hunt, the Black Deer tribe has become famous!

The hunting party and elite armed members returned to the tribe not long ago.

Most of the tribes in the middle reaches drove the prey they had captured in their respective tribes into the Black Deer tribe to exchange for all sorts of things they needed!

"Our tribe is in dire need of live warhorses of various breeds, and this has come to our doorstep!" Xu Que said to the Black Deer tribe, and then went to see how many warhorses these primitive people who were clamoring to exchange items had brought.

At this moment, Xu Que had arrived at the entrance of the Black Deer tribe, which was surrounded by primitive people.

He glanced casually at the animals being herded by the primitive man: "With a little effort, the elite armed forces' hundred warhorses will be ready!"

Xu Que prioritized the tribes with horses and cattle.

Hou helped him take out the saddle, stirrups, bit, reins, and other items that had been carved inside the cave beforehand, and exchanged them for warhorses with the primitive people at the entrance of the Black Deer tribe.

He quickly and successfully traded for thirty warhorses! Five of them were zebras, and twenty-five were other warhorses!

Before long, the Black Deer tribe had acquired over a hundred warhorses! This was more than enough for the tribe's elite armed forces members.

Xu Que looked at the many mid-level primitive tribes, and the chieftain, holding various parts for his warhorse, approached all the members of the Black Deer tribe with a sense of responsibility and said, "Do you know how to use the things you just exchanged? If not, let me explain it to you again in a simple way."

"OK!"

Xu Que stood on a large blue stone in front of the tribe's gate, holding the essential warhorse bridle, bit, reins, and saddle, and began to teach the group of members from other tribes one by one!

"Did everyone see that? This bridle is placed at the horse's mouth and head, and it's used to easily tie the reins! It also prevents the bit in the horse's mouth from falling out! The bit in the horse's mouth is mainly to prevent the horse from being distracted by other things when it's doing something important!"

"Did you all see that? What I'm holding is called a stirrup. There's one on each side of the stirrup, which makes it easier for the rider to get on and off the horse! It also allows the rider's legs to stretch out comfortably after getting on the horse! But I still have a little thing to say, I just feel uneasy if I don't."

"I hope that the primitive tribes that receive the warhorse armor will not easily put the saddle on their horses. It may seem safe, but it is actually full of dangers! If the saddle is put on the horse easily, most people will not be able to resist and will try to ride it! If the horseman's riding skills are not good, the wild horse will run away in fear as soon as he gets on the horse's back. If the rider cannot escape on the horse's back at this time, he will face serious consequences!"

"At best, you'll fall off your horse and suffer a hundred days of broken bones. At worst, it's hard to say! The horse might rub off your scalp or skull while it's running fast... So everyone should act according to their own circumstances."

After Xu Que looked at the tribe and saw that they had gathered enough warhorses of various kinds, he called Ha Gang over.

"Should I use the same method as before to tame these proud and wild horses again?" Ha Gang asked Xu Que confidently.

Xu Que nodded: "That's right! Now's the time to test your true skills! Begin the beast taming!"

Hagang did the same thing as before: he went into the primitive tribe, grabbed the wild horse that was about to kick him, pressed it to the ground and rubbed it until it was exhausted, and then released it as appropriate.

As time ticked by, Hagang had tamed dozens of warhorses in just a few minutes!

With the help of Hou and other elite armed forces members, Xu Que quickly tied the bridle and reins to the warhorse! After tying it up, he led the warhorse outside for a walk, and when the opportunity was right, he took out the bit and let it bite into its mouth. He and Hou quickly secured the bit to prevent it from falling off.

Xu Que and Hou carefully and meticulously tied the saddle to the horse's belly, and thus a fully armed warhorse was born!

Xu Que used the same method as before to quickly tie the bridle, reins, and bit to Ha Gang, the wild horse he had just tamed!

For a time, members of all the tribes in the primitive world—upstream, midstream, and downstream—gathered in the overgrown weeds at the entrance of the Black Deer tribe, forgetting even their hunting, watching as Ha Gang forcibly dragged one tamed warhorse after another from the enclosures where wild animals were kept.

Xu Que, Hou, and some elite armed members quickly and skillfully fitted the bridles, reins, bits, and saddles onto the warhorses.

The primitive people stared in disbelief.
