Chapter 968 New Possibilities
During this process, the Ferghana horse showed some resistance.
However, as the best Arabian horse in their stable, its own character and obedience undoubtedly meet the requirements, and it must have enough trust in humans.
In addition, Ma Guotao is the one who is usually responsible for taking care of it, which makes the Arabian horse have more trust in Ma Guotao.
Even though he resisted in his heart, he finally let Ma Guotao feed him that drop of essence and blood.
Ma Guotao, knowing this, couldn't help but feel even more upset, but he had no choice.
After watching his beloved horse swallow that drop of blood, Ma Guotao took two steps back and began to observe the changes in his beloved horse with a nervous look on his face.
With a snort, he soon found that his beloved horse became anxious.
Ma Guotao subconsciously wanted to go over and comfort her, but was held back by Zhou Xu.
"Don't get close, it might be dangerous."
Almost at the same time when Zhou Xu said this, blood foam began to emerge from the mouth of the Ferghana horse, and its muscular body began to spasm uncontrollably.
Less than two seconds later, it fell to the ground with a thump. During this process, its body continued to twitch, and the situation became more and more serious.
Later, blood began to ooze out of the nostrils, eyes, and even ears.
In a violent convulsion, a large amount of blood spurted out of its mouth.
The sharp-eyed Zhou Xu noticed at a glance that the blood was mixed with the drop of essence blood that was fed to him before!
That drop of essence blood seemed to be repelling the original blood of the Arabian horse. Those bloods could not get close to each other at all, as if they were pushed away by an invisible force, making them look clearly separated from each other.
Zhou Xu didn't need to say much, Silk beside him quickly took the porcelain bottle to recover the essence and blood.
They originally thought that after failing, they would need to try to extract the essence and blood from the body of the Ferghana horse, but they did not expect that the Ferghana horse would directly spit out the essence and blood.
They were really scared just now, for they were afraid that this drop of blood would be spit out on the ground and be wasted.
Although it was not difficult for them to obtain this drop of essence blood, it was obviously not so easy to get another drop.
They finally breathed a sigh of relief until Silk successfully collected the drop of blood into the porcelain bottle.
At the same time, after this incident, they also clearly discovered that although this essence blood looked like a drop of bright blood, its texture was actually quite different from ordinary liquid.
It is more like some kind of liquid gem that is not compatible with other liquids. Even if it is mixed in a pool of blood, it can be easily taken out.
During this time, along with the spitting out of this drop of essence and blood, the Ferghana horse that fell to the ground also completely lost its life.
Its body seemed twisted due to the violent convulsions and spasms, and the bleeding from all seven orifices made its death even more miserable.
At this moment, looking at such a tragic death, even Zhou Xu felt a little uncomfortable, not to mention Ma Guotao who raised him.
Ma Guotao's eyes turned red almost instantly.
He squatted down and gently touched his beloved horse's head.
"Do you want to continue?"
At this moment, his voice was already hoarse.
Hearing this, Zhou Xu hesitated a little.
Theoretically speaking, if the Ferghana horse in front of you is the best one in the horse farm, and it has already failed, it would probably be in vain for other Ferghana horses to try.
Or in other words, his thinking was wrong from the beginning.
As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu tried to mobilize his limited knowledge of essence and blood, trying to find the answer in it.
He really didn't know much about essence and blood. The only experience he had was that when Qiansui was just born, he ate his mother's essence and blood in a daze. Later, he ate the essence and blood of a saber-toothed tiger. Both times, Qiansui took the initiative to ask for the blood.
[Wait! You want to eat it? ]
Zhou Xu suddenly felt as if he had grasped a key point.
As we all know, animals have strong wild instincts. They know what is good for them and what is harmful to them, what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten.
This powerful instinct born out of the desire for survival is unmatched by any other species.
"Maybe, we can try to let them choose for themselves."
Hearing this, Ma Guotao, who was still immersed in the grief of losing his beloved horse, was unable to react for a moment.
Zhou Xu was not surprised when he saw this and directly told Ma Guotao his thoughts.
After hearing this, Ma Guotao didn't know what to say for a moment, but he still expressed his agreement, thinking that it was better than directly feeding them the essence and blood.
As always, let’s start with the Arabian horse.
Let Ma Guotao take the porcelain bottle containing essence and blood and try them one by one.
Faced with the porcelain bottle handed over, the horses subconsciously came over to smell it, and then they retreated in panic as if they were frightened by something.
After a round of trials, almost all the horses in the stable, without exception, adopted a state of escape.
Later, Zhou Xu simply conducted the same test on ordinary war horses in the stable.
Needless to say, they were all afraid of this drop of blood.
At this moment, Zhou Xu probably felt that these war horses were probably all useless.
The reason is simple. If you want a soldier to fight the enemy, and you hand him a knife, but he doesn't even dare to take it and runs away when he sees it, what else can you expect from him? This is basically the case with these war horses, in Zhou Xu's opinion.
He could understand that, after all, the specifications of extraordinary creatures were far beyond those of ordinary animals. It was the instinct of living things to seek benefits and avoid harm. It was completely normal for a war horse to feel afraid.
But if they chose to escape, how could they possibly withstand the baptism of blood essence? Zhou Xu told Ma Guotao about his new idea.
Ma Guotao fell into deep thought.
"The horses in the stable are all trained to be war horses, so their personalities are very important. As long as their quality meets the requirements, I will basically choose horses with good personalities and high obedience for breeding. And according to what you just said, Your Majesty, perhaps some more unruly horses may meet this condition."
"Does that mean we have to catch wild horses now? Or should we wait for the next foals to be born to see if there are any suitable ones?"
For Zhou Xu, this efficiency was undoubtedly too low.
But when Ma Guotao heard this, he shook his head.
"In fact, there is a Ferghana horse that should meet this requirement."
Having said that, Ma Guotao looked towards Zhou Xu.
"That horse has very high physical qualities, but a very fierce personality. It is impossible to train it..."
Hearing this, Zhou Xu already remembered.
"Lord Horse!"
He was deeply impressed by this horse at the time. It was really handsome and really wild. Its unruly nature was visible to the naked eye.
Later, Zhou Xu gave it to Jie Liancheng, who tamed it.
