I raise furry animals and fly them to my motherland.

Chapter 206 Przewalski's Horses
The scorching sun poured down on the Gobi Desert like molten gold, and the rising heat distorted the outlines of the distant sand dunes. Jia Yao trudged through the burning sand, his feet sinking deep into the sand.

The woven basket provided by the production team swayed in his hands, with two withered mushrooms lying forlornly inside.

His score is still stuck at a glaring -5. If he doesn't find more soon, he might not even be able to exchange for compressed biscuits or a sleeping bag tonight.

"What kind of mushrooms could possibly grow in this godforsaken place..."

Sweat dripped down his jawline, scalding the sand and leaving tiny dents.

Oh my god, it's so hot my makeup is going to come off.

He kicked a pebble in frustration, which startled several sand lizards as it rolled away.

Just then, a slight tremor came from the sand beneath his feet.

At first he thought it was his imagination, until the vibration became more and more obvious—

"Rumble--"

On the distant horizon, dust rose like waves.

A group of brownish-yellow figures galloped in with thunderous hoofbeats, their manes flying in the hot wind, their muscles gleaming like bronze in the sunlight.

Przewalski's horse!

The world's only remaining truly wild horse breed, a desert spirit even rarer than the giant panda.

Their ancestors once roamed the grasslands of Eurasia, but now only their last bloodline remains deep in this Gobi Desert.

These horses retain their most primal wildness—untamed and unmarked by humans, every muscle forged for survival.

They can reach speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour, and even wolves have to give way when they sprint.

And now, this group of desert overlords is heading straight for Jiayao!

The barrage exploded instantly——

[Holy crap, this is a real wild horse! It wasn't arranged by the production team!]

[Science expert here: There are fewer than 2000 Przewalski's horses left in the world! Jia Yao is incredibly lucky to have encountered a Przewalski's horse while picking mushrooms!]

[This is incredible luck! Jia Yao, run! That thing could break ribs with one kick!]

Jia Yao could feel the oppressive aura of these desert kings at this moment. His pupils shrank sharply, and his idol image shattered instantly.

He turned and ran, the woven basket flew out, and the limited edition sunglasses crashed to the sand and were crushed to pieces.

A lead stallion had closed to within ten meters, snorting, its amber eyes reflecting Jia Yao's staggering figure.

"Help—me—!"

A piercing scream echoed across the Gobi Desert.

The cameraman's legs buckled, and the walkie-talkie fell into the sand: "Director! Jia Yao is being chased by a herd of wild horses! Location: 2.5 kilometers northeast!"

Director Shao, who was leisurely eating cold noodles under the parasol, was so frightened by the cameraman's cry for help that he immediately sat up!

He immediately used his walkie-talkie to call the security team responsible for the program's safety, and finally shouted through a megaphone to Xu Ying: "Station Chief Xu, we need you!!"

"Jia Yao is being chased by a herd of Przewalski's horses; it's going to be fatal!"

Xu Ying was already eating the production crew's boxed lunch; the stir-fried chicken with mushrooms smelled quite good. Upon hearing this, she was so shocked that she dropped her chopsticks: "Huh? Przewalski's horse?"

Jia Yao encountered a group of this endangered species, which is even rarer than the giant panda?

This Jia Yao, if you say he's no good, he can stray 2 kilometers from the recording site while picking mushrooms and even stumble upon a rare species; if you say he's good, he looks like a weakling.

Xu Ying jumped onto the dune buggy, checked the reins, and sped off in the off-road vehicle arranged by the director's security team, racing 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 equestrian skills and lassoing.

Professional instructors will teach the mechanical principles of lassoing poles and lassos, safe distance control, and animal behavior prediction to ensure efficient and harmless control of the target in emergency situations.

When Xu Ying was active in South America, he learned horsemanship and horse training from the nomadic people and locals in the Pampas. Although it was tough, tiring, and inconvenient, he learned a lot of real skills. Just in case, Xu Ying had the system redeem the ability to understand horse languages ​​when he was driving.

The scorching sun baked the Gobi Desert until it was burning hot, and Jia Yao's breath smelled of blood.

He had never been so disheveled in his life—his pants were torn in three places by bushes, his carefully styled silver-gray bangs were covered in sand, and one of his right shoes had been blown off.

"Click!"

A crisp sound of a dry branch snapping came from behind me.

The lead stallion was less than five meters away from him, its amber eyes reflecting his staggering figure.

Jia Yao made a sharp turn and lunged at the withered poplar tree, only to hear the wild horse snort – this guy can actually drift!
A cloud of yellow sand lashed at him, and he tasted the bitterness of the grit grinding between his teeth.

"Help! I need help!"

Jia Yao's piercing scream startled the sand grouse flying away in the distance.

At this moment, the entire internet audience is focused on Jia Yao's situation. Jia Yao has finally gained the attention he wanted from the entire internet, which has caused the ratings to explode!

The comments from netizens flew by like snowflakes:

[Oh my god, I can't watch anymore, will someone really die?]

Why did Jia Yao stray so far from the main group while picking mushrooms? He encountered danger, and there was no timely rescue.

Let's stop blaming the victim now. Let's all pray together, and hope they don't die on my phone!

[Holy crap, Jia Yao fell down! Help!]

Jia Yao was running too fast and lost another shoe, tripping and falling in the sand.

Just as the stallion raised its front hooves, a dark shadow cleaved through the blazing sunlight.

"Whoosh!"

The lasso, soaked in tung oil, came flying through the air, wrapping around the stallion's neck three times before suddenly tightening.

The engines of the dune buggies were still roaring, and the waves of sand kicked up by their tires poured into the sky like a golden rainstorm.

At this moment——

Xu Ying leaped into the air.

Time seemed to be stretched.

Her figure drew a sharp arc under the blazing sun, and the hem of her denim jacket tore and fluttered in the wind like a battle flag.

The swirling dust formed a flowing golden curtain behind her, each grain of sand seemingly burning in the sunlight.

The drone's camera captured this epic moment—

The lasso left bright red marks on Xu Ying's forearm.

Her cowboy hat covered half her face, half in shadow and half in sunlight.

What's most striking are those eyes—bursting forth from the shadow of the hat brim with an ambition and desire for conquest more intense than the scorching sun over the Gobi Desert!

The barrage of comments paused for three seconds before exploding!
This iconic scene is destined to go down in entertainment history!

I cried so much watching this!

This is like a real-life version of Valkyrie in the Wild!

[This is what you call an idol! Wow, Station Master Xu is practically radiating light!]

Holy crap, this is so cool it's making my screen explode!

The stallion reared up, its large hooves less than 30 centimeters from Jia Yao's head.

Xu Ying's feet sank into the sand, and she leaned back at a 45-degree angle, the taut rope making a creaking sound that made your teeth ache.
