Chapter 151: Training the Buffalo
The mother buffalo’s fall does not mean the end of the matter.
The four legs of the cow were entangled by multiple flying ropes, making it unable to stand up again, but it was still struggling, and the noise was quite loud. While raising a lot of dust, Zhou Chongshan and his companions did not dare to get close at all.
This bison is very strong. If they approach it rashly, even if they are hit by it, they will suffer.
"Just keep a close eye on it. Just make sure it doesn't get up and run away."
While informing one of his soldiers to pay attention to the movements of the mother bison, Zhou Xu's eyes quickly fell on the two bison calves.
The height of the two bison calves was only about his waist. With a swing of the zipline, it was much easier to knock them down or subdue them than to deal with the mother bison.
At this moment, he was completely subdued by them.
This is one of the main reasons why Zhou Xu targeted them, because they are easy to catch.
In addition, another reason was that in his opinion, young bison were easier to tame than adult bison.
But the bison mother obviously didn't care about all this. When she saw what happened to her child, she became more and more agitated.
Zhou Xu didn't care about this at all. He continued to let the surrounding skeleton soldiers surround her and consume the mother bison's energy.
The most difficult part of this matter is that they need to capture the bison alive, which can pose a considerable threat to them.
Compared to killing, capturing someone alive is undoubtedly twice as difficult.
Fortunately, he has skeleton soldiers to use, so he just needs to let the skeleton soldiers go up and consume the enemy's energy.
During this time, the surrounding bison had all run away, which allowed them to further concentrate their attention on dealing with the mother bison and her two calves.
Compared with the mother bison, the two little bison were undoubtedly much easier to deal with. After a few rounds of fighting, they were soon exhausted and out of breath.
Seeing the opportunity, Zhou Xu quickly signaled Zhou Chongshan and others to go up and put on the cow rope.
It is called a cow rope, but in fact it is a lasso made by Zhou Xu, which can be used to hook around the neck and head of an animal. The lasso is made up of multiple live hooks and can be adjusted to a certain extent according to the size of the target's head and the thickness of the neck.
After the lasso is successfully put on, the more the target struggles, the tighter the lasso will be. When the target relaxes and stops struggling, the lasso will loosen a little.
This also avoids the situation where the target struggles frantically and tries to break the noose by force. After all, if the target uses too much force, there is a high probability that he will strangle himself to death.
Although animals don't have high IQs, they are not stupid and can still tell the difference between pain and pleasure.
When he was a child, his grandfather used this to train Dahuang, and it worked very well.
After putting on the leash, without them taking any further action, the two bison calves broke free from the ziplines one after another, climbed up from the ground, and their first reaction was to run away.
Before that, out of caution, Zhou Xu directly assigned three people to each side and asked them to hold the cow rope tightly in their hands.
As soon as the little bison ran away, they caught it immediately.
Under the pulling force from both sides, the lasso tightened quickly and strangled the little bison's neck.
The two little bison were stupid and didn't know what went wrong. The tighter they were strangled, the more they struggled.
However, this situation did not last forever, because after the noose was tightened to a certain point, the little bison could not breathe.
Lack of oxygen directly leads to exhaustion, causing the young bison's front legs to go limp and collapse directly to the ground.
With this collapse, after the little bison stopped struggling, the lasso loosened slightly and he was able to breathe again.
The young bison, having taken a breath, stood up timidly from the ground, and then suddenly tried to escape again as if launching a surprise attack.
Unfortunately, Zhou Xu had already reminded them that this animal had limited intelligence and it was impossible for it to learn its lesson so quickly, so the person responsible for holding the lasso did not let down his guard the entire time.
As the bison escaped, the rope became tight and the noose was tightened again.
I'm afraid I'll have to go through this process several times.
During this process, the mother bison was angry and anxious when she saw the two little bison falling into their hands.
But Zhou Chongshan and his men kept attaching flying ropes to its legs and feet, preventing it from getting up smoothly. In addition, the surrounding skeleton soldiers kept besieging it. The more agitated the mother bison became, the faster she consumed her energy.
After the energy was consumed to a certain extent, they soon seized the opportunity and successfully put the lasso on.
Next, things became easy, just like dealing with the two little bison, all you had to do was hold the lasso tightly.
Considering that the mother bison was far stronger than the two buffaloes, Zhou Xu sent more people to pull the rope.
The person in charge of holding the leash should also pay attention to whether the mother bison or the baby bison will suddenly rush towards them.
But in fact, the probability is still relatively small.
Because these animals are not that smart, in their opinion, they now have room to escape.
Unless they are particularly ferocious carnivores, they will choose to escape if they can, rather than pounce on humans holding a leash.
Next, their job, to put it bluntly, is to keep working with them, and when they get tired, find someone to take over.
The bison were not that stupid. After nearly strangling themselves to death five, six, seven or eight times, they gradually realized that as long as they didn't run, they wouldn't feel uncomfortable.
This time, although the vigilance in their eyes remained the same, at least they didn't run away.
And although the bison stopped running, they were about to start walking.
They must be trying to capture this bison and bring it back to the camp to tame it. They can't just leave it here forever.
Under this premise, considering the size and weight of the bison, and the fact that they are still alive, it is simply unrealistic to transport them back using a wooden cart.
So they had to let the buffalo walk back to their camp on its own.
Let's start with the little bison. Under Zhou Xu's instructions, several tribal members who were responsible for holding the rope walked slowly. They moved, but the little bison didn't move, but the noose would still tighten in the process.
Feeling the noose tightening, the bison started struggling again out of nervousness and fear.
In response, Zhou Xu quickly spoke up.
"Just stand there and don't move. Just like before, let it stop when it feels uncomfortable."
Following their leader's instructions, the little bison, having experienced before, quickly stopped after feeling uncomfortable.
Zhou Xu saw this and spoke again...
"Pull it over there again. You don't need to use too much force. Just tighten the noose a little bit so that it feels a little uncomfortable."
After receiving the instructions, they took action again. Anyway, they did whatever their leader said.
Soon, they found that the little bison started to walk towards them.
This scene made everyone look happy, and Zhou Xu was no exception.
This is the first time they have done something like training wild beasts.
In fact, isn’t this the first time for Zhou Xu?
He is now simply using the same training methods he used to train dogs to train cows.
His first step was to make the bison realize that as long as you don't struggle, you won't feel uncomfortable.
The second step is to let the bison know that as long as you follow me, you won’t feel uncomfortable.
With patience and effort, and taking it step by step, the two little bison gradually learned to follow them.
Under this premise, the mother bison was very worried about her two children. When she saw her children followed them, she quickly caught up with them without any need to pull them...
