On the grasslands of the plateau, countless wild horses frolic and graze.
There were many animals around the herd of horses.
There are herds of cattle, sheep, and horses living in harmony, as well as packs of wolves eyeing the land covetously. And then there are three people and a dog harboring malicious intentions.
Chen Yang was now very close to the herd of horses, but the herd still hadn't noticed him because Chen Yang was covered in grass-green sap.
This completely concealed his scent, and he continued crawling through the grass, so the herd of horses didn't notice him at all.
Just then, the European Emperor roared and charged out.
The horses were immediately startled and began to run.
One small movement can have far-reaching consequences; the entire herd of horses was startled by the lucky horse and began to run.
The sheer force of the attack was truly awe-inspiring. The horses neighed and surged together like a torrent, causing the earth to tremble wherever their iron hooves pounded.
It's hard to imagine that this was all caused by a dog chasing a herd, but nature is truly amazing. Just like the lion chasing a herd of cattle that Chen Yang encountered, this lucky dog got the entire herd moving.
The moment the herd of horses started to move, Chen Yang charged out like a sharp sword, catching up with one of the brown horses, the very one that had his eye on as the lead horse.
He kept pace with the horse, constantly pushing it outwards.
The lead horse was pushed away by Chen Yang, and the herd of horses it led was followed by it.
A horse would occasionally gallop past Chen Yang, and he would weave through the herd, running close to the white lead horse.
If he were to fall by accident, or be knocked over by a horse, he would be trampled into a human meat patty in the instant, turning into spring mud to protect the flowers of the coming year.
However, Chen Yang was very agile and managed to stay close to the lead horse while dodging the herd.
After all, this is the second time he has done something like this.
That morning, he had already tamed the white horse that Hou Yu had his eye on. He had also harnessed several other horses along with it, and they were currently tied to trees in the woods.
The first time, there was a slight accident. He was grazed by a horse and almost fell, but he saved him with his light-footed speed.
The second time, Chen Yang was much more experienced. He gradually led the lead horse away from the main herd, and the small group it led was also led away.
Chen Yang swung the lasso in his hand, preparing to lasso the lead horse and then jump onto its back.
Jumping from flat ground onto a horse's back is no easy feat, but it wasn't a problem for Chen Yang.
The white horse was fast, but Chen Yang was even faster, making it easy for him to lasso it. Last time, he succeeded on just two tries.
However, just as Chen Yang was about to throw out the lasso, a loud neighing suddenly came from the herd of horses.
Upon hearing the neighing, all the horses gathered around the source of the sound.
Chen Yang's target, the white lead horse, was also converging on the herd, and Chen Yang couldn't stop it at all. If he tried to forcibly stop it now, he would definitely be the one knocked down.
After the herd of horses gathered, Chen Yang also squeezed into the middle of the herd, surrounded by several horses, including the brown lead horse he wanted to capture.
Xu Meng, who was watching from behind, was filled with doubt and surprise: "Is that the Horse King?"
"What is the Horse King?" Hou Yu asked, somewhat surprised.
Xu Meng hesitated for a moment and said, "I've only heard about it. It's said that the King of Horses is a natural king among horses, with a much higher status than the lead horse in the herd. Its abilities in all aspects are also far superior to those of ordinary horses."
Xu Meng continued, "Perhaps only a herd of this size can produce a champion horse. It's almost impossible for an ordinary herd to produce one."
Xu Meng had never seen the Horse King, and didn't even believe in the legends about him.
However, she couldn't think of any other way to command such a large herd of horses besides the Horse King.
"If we could tame such a horse king..." Hou Yu's eyes burned with desire.
Xu Meng shook her head and said, "The King Horse is almost never alone. In a herd, it commands thousands of horses. It's impossible for a normal person to have the chance to subdue the King Horse."
Hou Yu laughed: "You said yourself that you're a normal person, right?"
Xu Meng was taken aback, then looked towards the center of the herd of horses, a hopeful look appearing in her eyes.
Chen Yang, trapped deep within the herd of horses, had no idea that he was being given such high expectations; at this moment, he was focused entirely on surviving in the narrow space.
The herd of horses was so dense that he had no way to squeeze through; he was already doing his best just to avoid being knocked down by them.
Horses kept bumping into him, and one even kicked him, almost sending him flying.
"What's going on? Why did the herd of horses suddenly huddle together?"
Chen Yang was puzzled. The incident happened so suddenly that he didn't have time to react. By the time he came to his senses, he had already been pushed into the middle of the herd of horses.
The unusual movement of the horses came entirely from that loud neighing.
After that neighing sounded, all the horses gathered together as if they were soldiers obeying a command.
"Could this herd of horses have a leader?" Chen Yang thought in shock.
If such a large herd of horses had a leader, how outstanding would that horse have to be?
Chen Yang instantly became excited. If he could tame this horse, that would truly be considered excellent!
This is the king of horses, capable of commanding ten thousand horses; even Red Hare, the king of horses, is no match for it.
Chen Yang instantly lost interest in the lead horse and turned his attention to the king of horses.
But problems soon arose.
How can I find this horse?
Chen Yang was no talent scout; he could spot the King of Horses in a sea of horses at a glance.
Moreover, he is currently in deep danger; he was distracted by excitement and was almost knocked away by a horse.
Chen Yang felt that now was not the time to play the role of the "Horse King"; the priority should be to find a way to escape.
He ran alongside the herd of horses, with no chance to escape; the horses collided and rubbed against each other.
Chen Yang stayed close to the white lead horse because there were fewer horses around it; otherwise, he would have been squeezed into a meat patty long ago.
He knew that things couldn't continue like this, and he had to find a solution.
If the herd of horses were to make a sharp turn at this moment, it would become even more crowded, and Chen Yang would have no room to survive.
With a determined heart, he leaped onto a horse and, just like the martial arts masters with exceptional lightness skills in wuxia novels, soared across the herd of horses.
This looks cool, but only Chen Yang knows how difficult it is.
If the horses were stationary, it would be much easier for him to trot, but the horses were running at high speed, and he would fall if he lost his balance.
Chen Yang had to find a landing spot in mid-air before each jump, preferably landing on the horse's back.
A light breeze surrounds him, allowing him to jump much higher and farther than normal people, and at the moment of landing, he must use the light breeze to support himself.
In this way, he can jump up again immediately without causing the horse he is riding to fall.
If the horses were to fall at this moment, it would be like a chain reaction of crashes in a bicycle race, with a large number of them falling down.
The scene of Chen Yang leaping through the herd of horses was captured in full view of Xu Meng and Hou Yu.
Seeing this scene, which could only be seen in martial arts movies, the two were so shocked that they couldn't speak.
After a while, seeing that Chen Yang had successfully broken away from the herd of horses, Hou Yu swallowed hard and muttered to himself, "When will I be able to be that good?"
