Chapter 161: Happy
"The wild horse you mentioned before, it must be this one."
When the two sides met and briefly greeted each other, Drogo quickly waved his hand, signaling his people to bring up the three wild horses.
Although he knew about wild horses, they had only described them verbally at the time. In order to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, Drogo still confirmed it.
During this process, Zhou Xu had already looked these three wild horses up and down several times, and he was almost using his "Eye of Insight".
To be honest, he really didn't expect Drogo to bring him three horses at once.
Now the joy in his heart was about to overflow, but on the surface he still looked calm. After looking at the three wild horses, Zhou Xu nodded.
"That's it, can I check it?"
"Can."
Drogo readily signaled his people to lead the wild horse over for Zhou Xu to examine.
Most of Zhou Xu's knowledge about animals comes from the various homework he did to raise pets and from watching various documentaries including "Animal World".
He had never seen a living horse like this before, so he was a little nervous.
However, he couldn't let Drogo see his nervousness. As the leader of the tribe, he still had to maintain his dignity and image.
With this mentality, Zhou Xu completed the inspection of the three wild horses carefully.
Of course, it was called an inspection, but in reality he was just checking to see if the three wild horses were injured or disabled or anything like that. He couldn't see anything else.
To be honest, he had a better understanding of the hemp rope around the wild horse's neck.
The Centaurs had probably never caught a living thing before, so the hemp rope was simply and roughly put around the wild horse's neck.
The restraint of this kind of harness is very limited and the horse can easily break free if you are not careful. At the same time, it will be very difficult for the person leading the horse once the wild horse starts to struggle.
It must have taken them a lot of effort to lead these three wild horses here using this method.
Even Zhou Xu couldn't help but think about it.
[On the way here, they must have subdued these three wild horses, right? ]
But no matter what he thought, Zhou Xu was still very efficient when it came to doing things.
"No problem. According to what we agreed before, one wild horse has five arrows, so three wild horses means fifteen arrows."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu signaled his subordinates behind him to take out fifteen arrows and hand them over to the Centaurs. At the same time, he signaled several subordinates to put their lassoes on the wild horses to prevent them from escaping.
Although they had never used this lasso to lasso wild horses before, the whole method was basically the same. As long as one was not too stupid, one would be able to figure it out.
The three tribal members quickly lassoed the wild horse and then untied the hemp rope that the centaurs had tied around the wild horse's neck.
During the whole process, the three wild horses just snorted a few times, shook their heads, and symbolically took a few steps back.
This made Zhou Xu, who was standing nearby and watching all this, even more convinced.
[This definitely made them subdue, but think about it, given the situation of the Centaurs, it would be extremely difficult to lead the wild horses over without hurting them by using such a simple hemp rope without first subduing them.]
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
In this case, they were doing all the horse training for them! This deal was really a bargain for him.
During this process, Zhou Xu noticed that the attention of the centaurs, including Drogo, was obviously attracted by the lasso they were using.
You know, it really took them a lot of effort to catch the three wild horses without hurting them.
Drogo felt that it would not be that difficult to go out and fight with the hyenas.
But Zhou Xu and his men just used the lasso to put it on the wild horses' heads, and they easily controlled the three wild horses. How could Drogo not be surprised? "Why? Are you interested in our lasso?"
Looking at Drogo and the others, Zhou Xu smiled like a businessman.
Hearing this, Zhuo Ge looked at Zhou Xu, then at the lasso, and then spoke uncertainly...
"This. Can it be traded?"
"Of course."
Zhou Xu smiled and gave an affirmative answer.
"With this lasso, you can catch more wild horses more easily, and more wild horses can be exchanged for more arrows from us. Do you consider it?"
Just a few simple words made Drogo's heart beat fast.
"How do I change this lasso?"
Zhou Xu just smiled and stretched out five fingers.
"This lasso is reusable and very durable. One wild horse for five lassoes. But I trust you, so I can give you the lasso first. How many do you want?"
[You can actually give it to us first?! ]
This was something that Drogo had never expected, and it made him feel much better. He felt even more that Zhou Xu was a good person worth making friends with.
So without thinking, he said, "Give me ten of them! I'll catch a wild horse for you next time!"
Zhou Xu was very straightforward about this. Considering the backup, each of them had at least two lassoes, so it was easy to take out ten.
And to put it simply, this thing is made of bark rope. The materials are everywhere and it is not difficult to make.
Five lassoes for a batch of wild horses, this is a huge profit! After handing over ten lassoes to Zhuo Ge, Zhou Xu tried hard not to laugh out loud.
Taking the lasso, Zhuo Ge looked at Zhou Xu seriously and said, "Thank you."
He has to thank us!
Picking up the ten lassoes and the fifteen arrows, Drogo was fascinated by the sight of the arrowheads emitting metallic luster under the sunlight.
At this moment, the strength in his heart to catch the wild horse suddenly became stronger.
Of course, he did not forget the other purpose of coming here this time...
"Recently, the frequency of hyena people appearing on the grassland has decreased. The last time I encountered them, there were more than a dozen hyena people on the opposite side. They have already formed a preliminary scale..."
As soon as the topic started to emerge, Zhou Xu's expression quickly became serious.
"You mean, the new Hyena Queen has been chosen?"
"I'm afraid so."
To be honest, the reason why the Hyena Queen was chosen only now was thanks to Drogo and his men who had been hunting down the Hyena people all over the grassland, making them live in unrest.
But even so, it is only a matter of time before the other side chooses a queen.
At this moment, looking at Zhou Xu with a frown on his face, Zhuo Ge spoke again...
"But don't worry too much. Our previous actions have already greatly reduced the combat power of the hyena tribe. In the short term, they will not pose much of a threat to us."
What Drogo said made sense, but it was said from the perspective of the Centaur people.
For their tribe, this threat is not small at all!!
Here is the update. Thanks to the book friend 'this name is named' for the tip!
