Chapter 24 The Young Man Who Lassoes Horses (Please Collect and Recommend)
After bidding farewell to the Tree Tribe, Luo Chong once again embarked on an exploration journey to the northeast.
It was not easy to keep walking in a straight line in the dense black forest. The surroundings were all the same environment. Luo Chong had to take out the bark rope and tie it around his waist.
When moving forward, he dragged a long rope behind him and looked back from time to time. As long as the rope remained straight, his direction was not biased. If the rope was bent, it meant that he had gone astray.
Relying on this stupid but very practical method, Luo Chong walked for two days, cutting some branches and sticking them in the ground as marks, and finally walked out of this dark forest.
The black forest disappeared, and the front became a sparse forest, bushes and wild grass, and some footprints of even-toed ungulate herbivores appeared on the ground.
The tree elder really didn't lie to me, Luo Chong muttered to himself, took out the bow and arrow and groped forward carefully.
After walking for about 20 minutes, Luo Chong finally saw the animals that Elder Shu had mentioned. They were a group of blue antelopes that were about the same size as domestic donkeys. They were about 1.2 meters tall at the shoulder and nearly 3 meters long. They had a pair of half-meter-long sharp horns on their heads that curved backwards.
They had sheep faces, donkey ears, horse bodies, and cow tails. They were blue-gray all over, with slender limbs and an inch-long mane behind their necks.
Tsk tsk, it would be no problem to take them back and use them as donkeys. Luo Chong immediately thought of catching them alive, but it was not easy.
Donkeys are very docile animals, but blue antelopes are different. Just looking at the pair of sharp horns on their heads, you can tell that they are not easy to mess with. Blue antelopes are aggressive by nature. Even females will occasionally fight alone to compete for territory. If Luo Chong runs over, they will attack in groups, and then Luo Chong will be finished.
This is a small group of only 17. Herbivores usually gather in large groups in summer. Now is autumn, which is their mating season, so there is only one adult male antelope in the whole group. This is easy to distinguish. The largest one is it.
There are 8 adult female antelopes and 8 young antelopes. This is relatively simple. As long as most of the adult blue antelopes can be controlled, the young ones will follow. The young ones will not leave the group alone. After a little thought, Luo Chong came up with a plan and quietly retreated.
Put the backpack aside first. Luo Chong wanted to make a simple slingshot, but there was not even a stone in this unfortunate place. There was no choice but to take two small snakeskin bags, fill them with soil, and tie them to both ends of the rope as counterweights.
A bundle of bark ropes, make a retractable noose for use. Now is the mating season. As long as the adult male antelope is controlled first, I don’t believe they will not be obedient. Otherwise, who will I find to mate with? Humph, Luo Chong crooked his head in a wretched manner and touched it again.
Hiding quietly behind a bush as high as his chest, Luo Chong peeked out and immediately grinned.
Emm, it was so eye-catching. The male blue antelope was riding on the female blue antelope and singing happily. This was a great opportunity.
Taking two steps back, Luo Chong quickly swung the slingshot. The whistling sound startled the blue antelopes. They gathered together vigilantly, with their heads facing outward and their horns facing forward, protecting the young blue antelopes behind them. Only the male and female were unaware and were trapped in the G-spot.
The propeller-like slingshot suddenly flew towards the male and female with the sound of wind. "Ah,
ugh
, huh, huh, huh."
The slingshot instantly wrapped around the hind legs of the two blue antelopes. The male and female shivered all over, and fell to the ground with a thump. Then they howled, and it was unknown whether they were happy or hurt by the fall.
Luo Chong swung a rope loop in his hand and rushed out quickly like a cowboy in a movie. The blue antelopes were in a commotion. Seeing that there was only one enemy in front of them, not a wolf pack, they immediately took a fighting stance, with their heads forward and their horns extended.
Thank you so much, sticking your head out for someone to hook. Don't be too polite.
In line with the idea of not taking advantage of an opportunity, Luo Chong swung the rope loop violently and hooked it on the horns of the two female antelopes. Oh, shit, what a mistake, he actually missed the head.
The two antelopes obviously didn't expect that the two-legged beast in front of them didn't come to bite them, but just threw a rope loop from a distance. One of them rushed over suddenly, intending to pierce Luo Chong like a candied haws. As a result, as soon as he took a step, he was pulled back by the one next to him.
Luo Chong quickly tightened the bark rope and tied the long horns of the two antelopes together tightly. The other female antelopes also rushed over quickly, their sharp long horns flashing coldly in the sun, and rushed towards Luo Chong at a high speed.
Luo Chong quickly moved horizontally, jumping up and down flexibly among several female antelopes. In a few moves, he entangled three antelopes together, then pulled the rope hard and fell down with the power of his whole body.
There were several consecutive sounds of falling to the ground. Luo Chong lay on the ground and pressed the rope desperately. Some of the five female antelopes were entangled by the neck, and some were entangled by the legs. They all fell to the ground, howling and struggling.
When the remaining two female antelopes saw this, they took their eight young antelopes and ran away. It would be stupid to rush up at this time.
"Hey, don't run, come back." Seeing the group of antelopes running away, Luo Chong was very anxious. This was different from what he expected. There were only a few young ones left, and they shouldn't leave the group.
Damn, Luo Chong was speechless watching the ten antelopes running away. He had no way to deal with it. He got up helplessly and prepared to vent his anger on the seven left.
First, he walked over carefully to tie up their legs, and then went to see the situation of the male and female. The male and female had not separated because their hind legs were entangled together. They were still lying on the ground twitching.
This is a real stallion, no, it's a stud. Tsk tsk, he must be a playboy even if he dies.
It is very difficult to completely subdue wild animals, especially those that have grown up. It is not that once you burst out your domineering spirit, they will be honest and hardworking. That is just wishful thinking.
For a species like the blue antelope that is unruly and aggressive by nature, its self-esteem must be destroyed first.
The ancients had a saying about keeping the eagle awake. In order to tame the fierce wild eagle, when it was just caught, the eagle was not allowed to sleep for several days and nights, making it very sleepy until its wildness was worn away. In short, in one sentence, do you obey or not? If not, I will not let you sleep.
But Luo Chong obviously did not want to use that much time. He simply and roughly used a stone axe to break all the horns of the blue antelope, and
then used red-hot charcoal to burn the cross-section of the broken horns to death, so that it would no longer grow. You know, beautiful and strong horns are their powerful characteristics, and they are also weapons for courtship and protecting territory. Now that their horns are broken, it is like taking half of their lives. The seven antelopes have gone from struggling violently at the beginning to becoming listless quails, which is a manifestation of losing their sense of security.
If Luo Chong hadn't wanted to keep the male antelope for breeding, he wouldn't mind castrating it. He didn't need the wild blue antelopes. He just wanted them to be his slaves. Even the ancient war horses were mostly castrated to make them obedient.

A new day is coming soon. I hope everyone can give me a recommendation vote at 00:00. I'll be very grateful. Thank you.
