Shennong Sequence

Chapter 23 The Background of the Guard: War Beast, Battlefield Meat Grinder
On the other side, Butcher Liu was also very efficient and quickly got on the horse that Old Man Sun chose for him.

"Our Yanshan County is located in a remote area with a vast territory and few people. We can go anywhere if we go out to graze the horses and don't eat the food from other people's farmland. We can return to the garrison before the sun sets."

Old man Sun spoke loudly, pulled the reins in his hand, and rode the horse king to the front.

Zhao Yun rode on the mare and galloped happily along with the large group of wind-chasing horses.

At the beginning, Zhao Yun was still a little uncomfortable. After all, the shaking back and forth was so severe that it made him feel a little uncomfortable.

But then he imitated Old Man Sun's posture, and moved his body up and down with the horse's motion. Gradually, he learned some skills and found some pleasure in riding.

Even the horsepower of the Wind Chasing Horse, which could travel a thousand miles a day, was particularly strong, giving him a refreshing feeling as if he was galloping on a highway.

When you reach out and touch the surroundings and the green wind that naturally arises as the mare gallops, you can even feel the shape of the green wind.

It seemed to allow him to break through the numerous sound barriers between heaven and earth and achieve an incomparable sense of wonder.

How refreshing!

In addition, when riding a horse, the whistling green wind is like a lively elf, happily shuttling around the body, making the whole body of the horse become extremely light.

Therefore, Zhao Yun concluded that the green wind generated by the running of the Wind-Chasing Horse seemed to contain some magical power!
As for Butcher Liu who was lying behind, his whole body was shaking violently. He was crawling on the big mare and could only let her jump and swim. He could only passively endure it silently and did not dare to make any extra movements.

The horse that Old Man Sun rode was leading the way, along with a group of handsome wind-chasing horses. After half an hour, they arrived at a wide grassland.

It was not until here that Zhao Yun discovered that there were not only the Wind-Chasing Horse in the grassland, but also other fine horses such as the Fiery Horse, the Red Blood Horse, the Snow-Leaving-No-Trace Horse, and so on.

Then, when he went a little deeper into the grassland, Zhao Yun saw some armored monsters from afar!

Those were giant elephants that were at least 10 meters tall!

In addition, as they went deeper into the grassland, the herd of Wind-Chasing Horses dispersed a little.

Zhao Yun communicated with the mare through the psychic seal and asked it to move closer to the war elephants.

He wanted to see the giant elephants up close.

Zhao Yun still remembered that in his previous life, he had seen elephants in the zoo, but those elephants were only one or two stories tall.

But the war elephants we see now are all tiny... young ones.

When the mare carried Zhao Yun quickly past a war elephant, Zhao Yun also looked up.

Experiencing these behemoths, which are as tall as four or five stories high, up close, I was impressed that humans can tame such powerful creatures... and also felt that this world is extraordinary.

In addition, the long white tusks of these war elephants are inlaid with iron rings, and the war elephants also have a thin layer of golden armor that can protect several specific vital parts...

"A war monster!"

Zhao Yun seemed to see these giant beasts charging into the battlefield, leaving shocking scenes of bloody corpse pits one after another.

Then the mare carried Zhao Yun through the group of war elephants, and with a clattering sound, they caught up with the original herd of horses and continued galloping deeper into the grassland.

Along the way, Zhao Yun also saw the iron bulls of the Iron Ox Prison.

Each of those dark black iron cows was wrapped in dark brown iron armor!

One or two, maybe that's all it looks like.

But when tens or hundreds of armored iron bulls gathered together, the scene was terrifying.

And when hundreds or thousands of iron bulls stand together and launch a charge, the scene is simply unimaginable. It is probably the most ferocious meat grinder on the battlefield!

After going a little deeper into the grassland, Zhao Yun thought he would see some more powerful war beasts. But he didn't expect that...

He saw a wild boar king with two sharp fangs over one meter long and covered with golden hair. It was taller than those iron bulls and was a full five meters tall!

Of course, maybe that pig-like thing is called the Wild Boar King...

Anyway, Zhao Yun was a little uncertain.

Because when the golden-haired wild boar king walked leisurely across the grassland, the grass it was walking on seemed to have been charged with a nitrogen accelerator... Everything was growing rapidly, and the grass that was originally only able to cover the horse's hooves suddenly grew about fifty or sixty centimeters taller and became extremely lush, plump and juicy.

In fact, many Iron Bulls were chasing after the golden-haired wild boar king, chewing on the lush grass...

Hiss, hiss!
The little mare turned her head and called out to Zhao Yun, indicating that she also wanted to eat some tender grass.

Zhao Yun patted the mare's firm buttocks, then jumped off and walked quickly to Old Man Sun who had also jumped off the horse king.

"Old man Sun, that thing is called a pig, right?"

Zhao Yun asked curiously.

"Yes, it's a pig! But it's not an ordinary pig. It contains some of the blood of the 'auspicious beast Dang Kang' and is the mount of Li Sinong of our garrison!"

"Besides, when you see him, just be respectful and call him Master Golden Hair. You don't need to be too nervous about the rest."

Old man Sun answered slowly, and his expression showed awe for the wild boar king named "Golden Hair".

At this time, Butcher Liu grabbed a handful of tender grass that grew even more rapidly than the grass fertilized with urea and manure, and hurriedly ran to the two men.

Then he slapped himself hard on the face, and only after feeling the clear pain did he become sure that this was not an illusion.

Then he asked Old Man Sun in confusion:

"Old man, why is the grass growing so fast? Can the wheat also grow so quickly?"

"Of course. Study hard and comprehend the book on basic horse training that I gave you. Then you can eat food however you want."

“Is that book really that magical?”

Butcher Liu looked back at the large patches of rapidly growing green grass after the Golden-haired Wild Boar King passed by. He was still in a state of disbelief and doubt about his life.

"Zhao boy, aren't you curious about what's going on?"

Old man Sun withdrew his gaze from Butcher Liu and turned to Zhao Yun with a bit of inquiry.

Zhao Yun entered Old Man Sun’s Horse Prison No. 14, and naturally his background was investigated clearly by Old Man Sun.

The fact that a person who had hardly ever left the village could remain so calm after seeing this scene made Old Man Sun look at him with higher regard.

Of course, the fact that he could quickly comprehend the true meaning of the Psychic Seal contained in "Basic Horse Taming" and condense the Psychic Seal made Old Man Sun even more surprised!

And Zhao Yun, a man of great talent and intelligence, also made Old Man Sun feel as if he had seen a rising star in the farming family.

By the way, if Zhao Yun could rise to prominence, he would also be able to teach those who rejected him and exiled him from the academy to this state a lesson...

In addition, Old Man Sun brought the herd of horses here for other plans.
