Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

The heavy snow did not stop for a whole day and night. After the snow stopped, Ning Yuan began to take people to clear the snow in the camp. When several human soldiers opened the gate of the camp and were about to push the snow out, they suddenly froze. Then came the inexplicable ecstasy.

"My lord, my lord, come and see, the white horse... the white horse, the herd of horses has appeared."

Seeing the herd of wild horses playing and rolling on the snow beside the small river in the distance, the soldiers shouted excitedly.

After hearing the word Ma Qun, Ning Yuan rushed out of the camp immediately, and then he saw a scene that haunted him in his dreams.

Hundreds of wild horses are chasing and playing in the snow. They are not afraid of the winter cold at all, and some half-sized foals are still rolling excitedly on the snow.

I roughly counted them with my eyes, and there are about 320 wild horses, but because many wild horses are constantly chasing and running, this number is not very accurate, and there will be great fluctuations up and down.

After seeing the horses, Ning Yuan did not rush to capture them, but hid in the distance and observed them quietly.

Through observation, Ning Yuan found that this group of wild horses is composed of more than a dozen small groups of horses. They all seem to have their own social status and social circle. Many horses are neither too far away nor too close to each other. Very strict.

Most of the more than 300 wild horses are white, a small part is gray, and some are brown.

The white horses are all very handsome, their muscles are bulging, and they look full of strength.

The golden mane and horse tail swayed with the wind, looking so free and easy, full of wild charm, watching Ning Yuan, who was secretly watching from a distance, jumping around, he simply loved these white horses to death.

No wonder people always like to use Prince Charming to describe the ideal young man in the minds of young women. Looking at the shape of these white horses, can men not get points for riding them?

Although the gray wild horses are similar in size to the white horses, they are obviously more immature, while the brown wild horses look like young horses no matter how they look, because they are too small after all.

After some careful observation, Ning Yuan found that although the gray wild horses like to play, their status in the horse herd is not very high, and they only play with the same gray wild horses.

As for the tan ponies, they are inseparable from some white horses, and those white horses look like their parents no matter what.

Seeing this, Ning Yuan suddenly realized, and suddenly understood.

In nature, there are some animals whose cubs are obviously different in color from their parents when they are born.

In fact, this is a kind of protective color, which can allow animal cubs to blend into the surrounding environment and avoid being attacked by some carnivores. When the cubs gradually grow up, they will take off this protective color and become more like Parents are exactly the same.

Ning Yuan remembered that he once watched a documentary in which the baby seal was all white except for the eyes when it was just born.

The baby seals will stay on the ice obediently alone when the seal mother goes out to hunt. Looking from a distance, you will find that there is only a piece of white snow and nothing.

You can't find the static pups at all, because their snow-white coat allows them to naturally blend into the surrounding ice and snow.

So although there are now three wild horses of different colors in the herd, they should all be white horses.

The reason why the young horses are brown when they are first born should also be a kind of protective color, because when they are born, it is still summer here, and the brown color can better allow them to blend into the surrounding environment.

And as they grow up and have good running ability, it will be difficult for predators to threaten their lives.

At this time, they will slowly remove their brownish-yellow coats, and the color of their hair will be closer to their parents, that is, the gray wild horses in the herd.

When they are really adults, the gray will turn into white, and they will become real white horses. (Do not accept doubts, if you are not clear, you can search for the Marsh Mustang, the French Camargue Swamp, of course, the author just borrowed it.)

After understanding all this, Ning Yuan had even higher expectations for these white horses. Thinking that he would have a cavalry regiment all riding on white horses under his command in the future, Ning Yuan's heart became even hotter.

But such a large group of white horses is not easy to catch.

Although Ning Yuan had already made a large number of lasso ropes and lasso poles in advance, and practiced continuously for a long time.

But because there are no horses in the Condor Eagle Tribe, they only practice bison and wild deer, so when faced with a real herd of wild horses, Ning Yuan actually has no idea.

With so many wild horses, it is definitely impossible to trap all of them one by one, so if you want to win all of them without falling, you must find the horse king in the wild horse herd.

Horses are amazing animals, they live in groups and are very social.

The chief male stallions have their own harem, they are very possessive, and they absolutely do not allow other stallions to touch their concubines.

However, they will not reject the existence of other stallions in the herd, so the male horse that can become the horse king is often the most majestic, powerful, and domineering male horse in the wild horse herd.

The horse king has absolute dominion over all the wild horses in the wild horse herd.

When grazing, it eats the freshest piece, and when drinking water, other wild horses must wait until it finishes drinking. It is the emperor of the entire herd, and no one dares to challenge its authority easily.

After careful observation for most of the day, Ning Yuan found several candidate horse kings that fit this characteristic.

Why do you say they are the horse kings?

The main reason is that Ning Yuan discovered that they all have their own harem, and other wild horses are very afraid of them.

Ning Yuan guessed that this might be a group of wild horses.

The so-called gang nature is that a group of stallions defeated other stallion leaders through collective strength and snatched their mares harem.

After the male horses reach adulthood, they will leave their parents to go out to venture outside, and they will form a male horse herd with other male horses that have just grown up.

After forming a herd of male horses, they will wander around and gather some female wild horses they encounter.

When they encounter large-scale herds, they may challenge some old chief stallions. As long as they can win, the old chief stallions will be expelled from the herd, and the winner will become the new one. The leader of the horse herd, and receive all the harem of the old leader.

At this time, the other stallions in the stallion group will continue to follow their leader, and as the group grows, they will gradually get their own mare harem.

After all, there is only one leader of the stallion, no matter how strong his "ability" is, there will always be a limit, so when the number of the leader's harem reaches the upper limit, opportunities for other stallions will come.

This should be the case with the group of white horses in front of me, so Ning Yuan must find the real horse king. Only when the horse king is caught, other wild horses will bow their heads obediently, otherwise they will continue to follow the horse king's footsteps everywhere vagabond.

Soon, Ning Yuan locked on a target, which was a big stallion with a strong physique, its white fur glowed silver under the sunlight, and its golden mane danced lightly in the wind. The wild is vividly set off.

Of course, the most important thing is that it has a big harem, and all the white horses are instinctively afraid of it. Wherever it passes, the white horses show a gesture of submission.

After locking the horse king, Ning Yuan approached quietly with a small group of horsemen.

The group of white horses also quickly found Ning Yuan and his party, but judging from their expressions, it was obvious that they had never seen humans before, so they did not show any fear, but looked at Ning Yuan and the others curiously.

Seeing that the horses did not choose to run away after their whereabouts were exposed, Ning Yuan finally let go of his tightly hanging heart. In order to prevent the horses from becoming hostile, he asked people to throw all the weapons on the ground, holding only a holster in his hand. Suo carefully approached Ma Wang.

Eighty meters, sixty meters, fifty meters.

When he was only 50 meters away from the wild horses, Ning Yuan waved his hand to make everyone stop, and all sat on the snow, watching the wild horses quietly.

After sitting for ten minutes, he led the people forward ten meters cautiously, and then sat down again.

Ten minutes later, Ning Yuan advanced ten meters in the same way.

At this moment, the herd of wild horses became vigilant. The mares and ponies retreated into the herd, while the leader of the stallions snorted and pawed the ground with his horseshoes, warning Ning Yuan and his party.

The distance of 30 meters was already very close, so after seeing Mawang starting to become hostile to his group, Ning Yuan quietly ordered his horse handlers to charge together according to his order, and everyone's target was Mawang.

"rush."

Ning Yuan let out a low growl, and rushed directly to King Ma.

"Xi Law Law."

Seeing that someone dared to challenge his authority, Ma Wang immediately became angry. While roaring, he rushed towards Ning Yuan.

"Damn, everyone pay attention to dodge."

Seeing the horse king rushing over, Ning Yuan was shocked.

Ma Wang's reaction was completely different from what Ning Yuan expected. In his prediction, seeing them rushing over, Ma Wang should start to escape with the horse herd, and then they took the opportunity to trap Ma Wang with a lasso.

But what's the situation now, this horse king actually launched an attack on his own initiative, it must be too wild.

Fortunately, they only came here with ten people this time, and only one horse, Ma Wang, rushed over to the wild horse group. The other wild horses were in a wait-and-see state. It seemed that they had absolute confidence in their leader.

Ma Wang rushed in front of Ning Yuan as soon as he accelerated, then he raised his front hooves high and stomped fiercely towards Ning Yuan.

"I rely on."

Seeing the rapidly growing horseshoe, Ning Yuan rolled over with a lazy donkey, avoiding the horse king's attack.

Although he dodged the attack in time, the danger was still there. As soon as he got up, Ma Wang's next attack came immediately.

This time Ma Wang didn't use a trample attack, but opened his mouth wide and bit Ning Yuan fiercely.

Looking at the big white teeth exposed in Ma Wang's mouth, Ning Yuan had no choice but to continue rolling on the snow to avoid Ma Wang's attack.

Wild horses generally have three moves when attacking the enemy, trampling on the front hoof, stamping on the back hoof and biting the horse's mouth.

At this time, Ma Wang only used his front hoofs to trample and the horse's mouth to bite to force Ning Yuan into a mess, rolling on the snow non-stop.

Let alone arresting the horse king now, if there is no support, Ning Yuan will probably be tortured to death by the white horse king without weapons, because facing the powerful attack of the white horse king, he has no There is no chance to fight back.

Fortunately, he didn't come alone this time, he also brought a small group of Condor fighters. Although Ning Yuan ordered everyone to throw away their weapons just now, the soldiers still had lassoes in their hands.

Although Ning Yuan himself was in danger of being attacked by the King of the White Horse, he won a precious opportunity for the other fighters of the Lama Squad.

When other members of the lasso team saw that their lord had attracted the white horse king, they all threw the lasso in their hands at the white horse king.
