Chapter 206 Przewalski's Horse
The scorching sun poured down on the Gobi Desert like molten gold, its steaming heat distorting the outlines of the distant dunes. Jiayao stepped deeply and shallowly on the scorching gravel.
The woven basket distributed by the program team was dangling in his hand, with two shriveled mushrooms lying alone in it.
His points were still at a glaring -5. If he didn't find more, he might not even be able to exchange for compressed biscuits or sleeping bags tonight.
"What kind of mushrooms can there be in this damn place..."
Sweat dripped down his jawline, burning tiny pits in the sand.
Oh my god, it’s so hot that my makeup is going to come off.
He kicked a piece of gravel in annoyance, and the gravel startled several sand lizards as it rolled down.
At this moment, the sand under his feet suddenly shook slightly.
At first he thought it was an illusion, until the vibration became more and more obvious -
“Boom—”
On the distant horizon, dust rose like waves.
A group of brown and yellow figures came galloping with thundering hooves, their manes flying in the hot wind and their muscles looking like they were coated with bronze in the sun.
Przewalski's horse!
The only truly wild horse species left in the world, a desert elf even rarer than the giant panda.
Their ancestors once roamed the grasslands of Eurasia, but now only their last bloodlines remain deep in this Gobi Desert.
These horses retain their most primitive wildness - no domesticated docility, no human marks, and every inch of muscle is forged for survival.
They can reach speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour, and even wolves have to retreat when they sprint.
And now, this group of desert overlords are heading straight for Jiayao!
The barrage exploded instantly——
[Fuck, this is a real wild horse! It wasn't arranged by the production team!]
[Science Popularizer Online: There are less than 2,000 Przewalski's horses in the world! Jiayao was so lucky to encounter a Przewalski's horse while picking mushrooms!]
[This is seriously lucky! Jiayao, run! This thing can break your ribs with one kick!]
Jia Yao had already felt the pressure from these desert kings at this time. His pupils suddenly shrank and his idol image was instantly shattered.
He turned and ran, sending his woven basket flying and his limited edition sunglasses shattering on the sand.
A leading stallion had approached within ten meters. It was snorting, and its amber eyes reflected Jia Yao's staggering back.
"Help!"
The shrill screams echoed over the Gobi Desert.
The cameraman's legs gave way, and the walkie-talkie fell into the sand. "Director! Jiayao is being chased by a herd of wild horses! The coordinates are 2.5 kilometers northeast!"
Director Shao, who was leisurely eating jelly under a parasol, was so scared when he heard the photographer's cry for help that he immediately sat up!
He quickly used the intercom to call the security team responsible for the program's safety, and finally immediately raised a loud speaker to call Xu Ying: "Master Xu, we need you!!"
"Jiayao is being chased by a herd of Przewalski's horses. Someone's going to die!"
Xu Ying was already eating the crew's lunch. The stir-fried chicken with mushrooms was quite fragrant. Upon hearing this, she dropped her chopsticks in shock: "Ah? Przewalski's horse?"
This endangered species, which is rarer than the giant panda, let Jiayao encounter a group of them?
This Jia Yao, if you say he is not good enough, he can deviate 2 kilometers from the recording site while picking mushrooms, and he was lucky enough to encounter a rare species. If you say he is good enough, he will look like a weakling.
Xu Ying jumped onto the dune scooter, checked the reins on the scooter, and followed the off-road vehicle of the security team arranged by the director, speeding towards Jia Yao.
In her previous life, Xu Ying participated in global rescue activities organized by an international wildlife rescue organization and received training in large animal control, including horsemanship and horse roping.
Professional coaches will teach the mechanics of lassoes and ropes, safe distance control, and animal behavior prediction to ensure efficient and harmless control of the target in emergency situations.
When Xu Ying was working in South America, he learned equestrianism and horse training from the locals in the nomadic areas of the Pampas. Although it was hard and tiring, and life was inconvenient, he learned a lot of real skills.
Just in case, Xu Ying asked the system to understand horse language while driving.

The scorching sun made the Gobi Desert hot, and Jiayao's breath smelled of blood.
He had never been so miserable in his life - his pants were torn in three places by the bushes, his carefully groomed silver-gray bangs were covered with sand, and one of his right shoes had flown off.
“Click!”
There was a crisp sound of dead branches breaking behind me.
The leading stallion was less than five meters away from him, his staggering figure reflected in his amber eyes.
Jiayao made a sharp turn and rushed towards the dead poplar tree, but heard the wild horse snorting - this guy can actually drift!
Yellow sand flew all over his head, and he tasted the bitterness of the sand rubbing against his teeth.
"Help!"
Jia Yao's shrill scream scared away the sandgrouse in the distance.
At this time, all the audiences on the Internet were paying attention to Jia Yao's situation. Jia Yao finally got the attention he wanted from the entire network, and the ratings exploded!
Netizens' comments flew over like snowflakes:
[Oh my god, I don’t dare to watch this anymore. Is there really going to be a fatality?]
Why did Jiayao go so far away from the main group just to pick mushrooms? When he got into danger, there was no timely rescue.
[Let's stop blaming the victim at this time. Let's all pray together that he doesn't die in my phone!]
[Oh shit, Jiayao fell down! Help!]
Jiayao ran too fast and lost one of his shoes, falling directly into the sand.
Just as the stallion raised its front hooves, a black shadow cut through the blazing white sunlight.
“Whoosh!”
The lasso soaked in tung oil came through the air, wrapped around the stallion's neck three times, and then suddenly tightened.
The dune bike's engine was still roaring, and the sand waves kicked up by the tires splashed into the sky like a golden rainstorm.
At this moment——
Xu Ying leaped up.
Time seemed to be stretched out.
Her figure drew a sharp arc under the scorching sun, and the flap of her denim jacket fluttered in the wind like a battle flag.
The flying sand formed a flowing golden curtain behind her, and every grain of sand burned in the sunlight.
Drone footage captured this epic moment -
The noose left bright red marks on Xu Ying's forearm.
The cowboy hat covered half of her face, half in shadow and half in sunlight.
The most shocking thing is those eyes - bursting out from the shadow of the hat brim is an ambition and desire for conquest that is more scorching than the Gobi sun!
The barrage paused for three seconds, and then exploded!
[This legendary shot will go down in the history of the entertainment industry! ]
【I cried so hard after watching this】
[What kind of real-life version of Wild Valkyrie is this!]
[This is what it means to be an idol! Wow, Xiao Xu is simply glowing.]
[Fuck, the screen is cracking for me!]
The stallion was pulled upright by the reins, and its iron hoof, as big as a bowl, was less than thirty centimeters away from Jiayao's head.
Xu Ying's feet sank into the sand, and his whole body leaned back at a 45-degree angle. The taut rope made a teeth-grinding creaking sound.
