Chapter 216 Lost and Found
Everyone on Zhou Xu's side was busy with their own things. Of course, he was worried about the saber-toothed tiger. As long as the saber-toothed tiger was not eliminated, it would always be a hidden danger that could not be ignored for their grassland village. He was destined to never be able to put his mind at ease.
But there was no point in him worrying about this matter.
Zhuo Ge, Ye Jinghong and others have led a team to look for it, but they just can't find it. What can he do?
In this regard, Zhou Xu could only keep a calm mind and do the things at hand first.
Meanwhile, on the grassland...
Drogo, Ye Jinghong and others were leading their team to search for the saber-toothed tiger.
It was getting late, and Ye Jinghong, who had gained nothing that day, felt a little annoyed.
"I'm afraid this saber-toothed tiger is hiding from us!"
This grassland area is neither big nor small, and with the help of mounts to increase their mobility efficiency, they estimated that they have searched most of the area throughout the day, including half a day yesterday, but they have not found any trace of the saber-toothed tiger at all.
Drogo wasn't surprised at all to hear this.
"That's normal. The saber-toothed tiger is not stupid. It knows we are looking for it, and it also knows it cannot defeat us. We are moving, and it is also moving. It will not be so easy for us to find it."
Hunting supernatural creatures is difficult not only because they are powerful, but also because they are smarter.
Sometimes you can't even find it when it's deliberately avoiding you.
Just when it seemed that he would return empty-handed again today, at this moment, a figure appeared in Ye Jinghong's sight at the end of the distant field of vision.
"That is..."
Thanks to the vision bonus brought by Zhou Xu, Ye Jinghong's field of vision is much wider than that of ordinary soldiers, and he can see more clearly now.
At this moment, in the distance in the snow, there was a yellow horse digging the snow on the ground with its front hooves, as if looking for food in the snow.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that this yellow horse is wearing their harness! [Could this be...]
As his thoughts raced, Ye Jinghong shouted out.
"Stupid horse!"
The horse's hearing is quite developed. When it heard the noise, it immediately looked over here.
Just when Zhuo Ge thought that the yellow horse was going to be scared away by Ye Jinghong's shout, he heard the yellow horse suddenly let out a "hiss" and then ran towards them quickly!
In a short while, he ran in front of them.
At this moment, it was still emotional, and its hooves kept stamping, giving people the feeling that it was very excited. It looked like a lost child who finally saw his family, and Drogo, who was standing next to it, was stunned.
There is no such thing as domestication among the Centaurs. To them, all wild beasts are their hunting targets and also potential threats to them.
I never thought that one day the beast would make such a gesture in front of me.
Although this gesture was not directed at him...
On the other hand, Ye Jinghong was much calmer.
In Ye Jinghong's opinion, it was completely normal for the yellow horse to behave like this.
Because these are the war horses that were domesticated in their grassland village. They have been trained with their soldiers for a long time, and trust has long been established between them.
Of course, in addition to this, these horses have regular meals for a long time and do not need to find their own food.
Under this kind of breeding conditions, the horse's wildness and ability to survive in the wild will continue to decline over time.
It's hard to believe that it can have an easy life in this icy and snowy weather.
Grabbing the reins, Ye Jinghong touched the yellow horse's body. As expected, the horse was already skin and bones from hunger.
Looking at Huang Ma's appearance at this moment, Ye Jinghong felt both angry and amused.
"You stupid horse, I told you to run around? Now you know how powerful I am, don't you?!"
But think about it from another perspective: in that kind of snowstorm, it is not easy for the yellow horse to survive after getting lost.
"Captain Drogo, I think it's getting late. Let's stop here today and return to the camp first."
"good."
After reaching a simple consensus, the group quickly set out on their return journey.
This day they returned earlier than usual.
At the desk, Zhou Xu was cheered up when he learned that Ye Jinghong and the others had returned early. He thought that they had successfully hunted the saber-toothed tiger and therefore finished the work early.
But after learning that this was not the case, I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
But generally speaking, it is a good thing that the lost warhorse has been found again.
After dark, the grassland village in the snow and wind soon fell into silence, until the sound of the bronze bell, which touched every nerve of theirs, woke them up in the middle of the night!
With a roar, the saber-tooth tiger's burly body appeared in the night.
The saber-toothed tiger, which had tasted sweetness in the grassland village before, now comes again. Its purpose is self-evident: it is hungry!
But things are different now. The decision to successfully allow the Centaurs to settle in the village at the cost of providing food and accommodation has finally shown its value at this moment.
The Centaurs have very sensitive hearing and sense of smell. Their vision is not better than that of humans, but they have night vision.
Zhou Xu, who understood this ability at the time, was quite envious.
Some races really win at the starting line as soon as they are born, even without any effort.
At this moment, the Centaurs' super senses were undoubtedly fully utilized. Basically, as soon as there was any movement, they woke up immediately! "Night attack!!"
At Drogo's shout, the Centaur warriors put on their weapons as quickly as possible and rushed out of the shed.
Inside the village, torches were quickly raised, illuminating the village that was originally shrouded in darkness.
Drogo and his companions already had the ability to see at night, and now with the light of the fire, they could undoubtedly see even more clearly.
Vision, hearing, smell! Drogo quickly mobilized his senses and soon locked onto the saber-tooth tiger's trail.
Then, without saying a word, he shot an arrow! Drogo's arrow came fast and fierce. The saber-toothed tiger had just rushed in when it was hit by an arrow. It was immediately shocked and angry, and roared frequently, as if to intimidate the villagers and soldiers who rushed out.
At this time, Drogo was not ambiguous at all.
After all, he is a down-to-earth person. Since I have eaten your meal, I will naturally do what I promised! "All of you, get out of the way!"
He knew that humans would be at a disadvantage when fighting at night due to limited vision, so he simply took the responsibility himself.
On the other side, Zhou Xu, who also heard the call, did not hesitate and quickly gave the order...
"All villagers should evacuate and soldiers should stand by on the outskirts. Leave the main battlefield to Drogo and his men!"
