Chapter 18: Chapter 15 Let Her Ride You Home_2
“A horse?”
The other party was quite fast. Standing on high ground, Bailuo discovered that the pointer was indeed pointing directly at it.
The distance between them was about seven or eight miles. The white horse had already reached the edge of the valley and then burst into the forest.
“Let’s go take a look.”
“Wooo~~~”
Just as Bailuo was about to head over, a wolf howl made Bailuo quicken his pace, “That sound, it’s the forest wolves that are unique to the south!”
“And there’s more than one.”
Realizing that the white horse was in danger, Bailuo immediately leaped from rock to rock, dashing toward it.
In the forest, a white horse was surrounded by six or seven forest wolves.
Two forest wolves each bit onto one of its front and back legs, while another wolf continuously lunged at its neck but was alertly dodged.
“Roar!”
The forest wolf lunged, its forelimbs landing on the back of the white horse, its immense force as if it wanted to press it to the ground.
The white horse seemed to realize that once it fell, there would be no chance of escape, only a dead end ahead.
Therefore, it struggled desperately, and enduring the severe pain, its hind legs kicked fiercely, trying to shake off the forest wolf.
“Huff.”
Two sharp axes flew through the air, landing precisely on the necks of two of the forest wolves.
“Wooo!”
The sudden attack disrupted the rhythm of the wolves, which in great panic, gave up on the white horse and turned towards a certain direction, baring their teeth and growling softly.
“Finally caught up.”
Bailuo did not take these forest wolves seriously.
They were not any formidable monsters, just wild beasts.
“Scram.”
Bailuo unslung his bow and arrows and shot out in rapid succession. In just an encounter, he had killed four forest wolves, with only one escaping in a panic.
“…”
Bailuo wanted to pursue, knowing that wolves, creatures that hold grudges, are likely to come back for revenge.
But looking at the ground covered in blood, and the white horse now lying in pain, he put away his weapon and cautiously approached it.
“Hmm?”
Bailuo was somewhat surprised, as the white horse did not show any wariness.
This meant it was not a wild horse, but very likely someone’s domesticated animal.
Only a horse accustomed to humans would be so calm and not view humans as enemies.
After all, in this world, humans hardly ever eat horse meat.
Horses are an important strategic resource, being suitable for travel, combat, or tilling the fields, so they are extremely expensive.
Even if a wild horse is encountered in the wilderness, humans would only capture it, not kill it.
“Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you.”
Bailuo didn’t know if it could understand, but he still approached with care.
At the same time, Bailuo glanced at the Black Leather Book.
Indeed, the text on it had changed.
[You have found her, but she does not belong to you, so what to do? Perhaps you should try to heal her.]
“Heal her?”
When Bailuo set out, he naturally brought along bandages, which he now took out. He fetched some clean water and carefully cleaned the white horse’s wounded areas.
During this process, Bailuo also noticed its gender; it was a mare.
“Strong girl.”
Throughout the process, the mare docilely accepted Bailuo’s treatment without any resistance.
Clearly, the Miracle Power was already taking effect.
‘Mostly superficial wounds, but the back leg was injured down to the bone; it’ll probably take some time to recover and won’t be able to walk for a while.’
“Hiss~~”
The mare was intelligent enough to know that Bailuo had saved her and was now rubbing her head against Bailuo’s body as a gesture of closeness and gratitude.
“This step should be done, what’s next?”
Bailuo looked at the Black Leather Book again, but the next sentence completely stunned him and left him dumbfounded.
“Damn! Are you kidding me?”
[She does not like to be ridden, hence she escaped her shackles.]
[But she is a grateful girl, so why not show her what fairness is? Since you want to ride her, let her ride you home instead.]
“`
“…”
“Are you fucking kidding me?”
Bailuo examined the white horse, which wasn’t very robust and looked quite young, probably just over a year old, about as tall as Bailuo.
Uncle had taught Bailuo how to judge horses, and Bailuo could tell that, given the breed of the white horse, it could grow over two meters tall and weigh more than 900 kilograms when fully grown.
But even though it wasn’t fully grown, it wasn’t small at all!
It must weigh at least five hundred kilograms!
“Brother! I call you brother!”
Bailuo muttered to the Black Leather Book, “You want me to carry a five-hundred-kilogram horse over mountains and ridges, are you trying to kill me?”
What kind of international joke is this, has he gone mad?
A person carrying a 500-kilogram horse, just this task alone would almost be the end of the entire Iron Eagle Kingdom.
Who could do that?
You should know that a bag of rice only weighs 18 kilograms, 500 kilograms is nearly 30 bags of rice!
And the distance from here to Yatun Village is, at the very least, across twenty mountains.
The road is rugged and winding, with countless jackals, tigers, and leopards lurking, danger lurking at every turn.
“This task isn’t on the same level as the pocket’s, is it.”
“Speaking of which.”
“Whose business have I cut into?
Bailuo looked outside the forest, there might be a horse farm nearby where the white horse had escaped from: “If that place is considered the destination, carrying her back is just a few kilometers away.”
“That’s too easy.”
These were words that Bailuo said that would make countless ordinary people curse.
Bailuo was a person of Yatun, a mere five hundred kilograms was naturally something he could carry.
But the difficult part was, carrying such a large horse, how was he going to return?
Compared to taking the valley route to Yatun Village, for Bailuo, it truly was the difference between easy mode and hell mode.
But Bailuo had no choice.
The attainment of a miracle was definitely not easy.
Expecting to easily obtain something like the Initial Sprout Holy Pouch was nothing but a pipe dream.
Compared to those who have no way to yearn for strength, Bailuo was already infinitely better off.
At least he knew what he had to do. Follow the latest novels 𝒐𝒏 n𝒐/velbin(.)com
All he needed was to put in sweat and effort.
“I hope your Miracle Power is somewhat effective.”
Bailuo made up his mind, he was determined to obtain this miracle, no matter how hard it was, he had to try.
Before admitting defeat, Bailuo would never give up lightly.
“Come on, good girl, don’t fuss, I’ll take you home.”
As he spoke, Bailuo lifted the white horse, startling the young mare as no one had ever done this to her before.
They had seen it, for sure.
Occasionally some hunters would carry wild boars like this.
“Hiss~~”
The young mare was terrified, fearing Bailuo wanted to slaughter her, and so she emitted frightened neighs.
“Don’t move, don’t move! I’m not going to eat you!”
Bailuo didn’t care whether she understood, but he explained anyway.
Seeing the young mare gradually calm down, Bailuo breathed a sigh of relief, then steadily walked away on the road he had come from.
[Then let her ride you home]
This sentence had not changed, indicating that Bailuo had not completed the task: “Really have to carry it back?”
“Alright then.”
Bailuo took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and made a decision: “I’ll carry it!”
Before long, a group of people arrived at the spot, they noticed the bloodstains on the ground.
“Was it eaten by wolves?”
The young mare wasn’t any rare breed, she was just a very ordinary domestic horse, and to enter the mountains for a horse, especially one that was wounded and had almost a one-in-ten chance of surviving, simply wasn’t worth it.
“Forget it, let’s go back.”
The leader turned his horse around, unwilling to take the risk, and the others naturally didn’t care either.
After all, it wasn’t their horse.
