Chapter 85: Chapter 71: Survival of the Fittest, Capturing Male Rock-Horned Horses (Part 2)

“There’s no problem with the bloodline potential.”

“Following that, the ones full of confidence will soon challenge the herd leader, but the first attempt often doesn’t go smoothly…”

“Young male Rock-Horned Horses need to go through at least a dozen failed challenges to gain the experience to win.”

“What we have to do is wait until they are disheartened and approach to capture the weakest one among them.”

Lisa, who had recovered by the side, spoke slowly.

Over the years, under Old Duncan’s careful guidance, Lisa’s familiarity with the wild Rock-Horned Horse Herd was no less than the Li Family of Nongzhuang Village.

Handing the woven rope, twice as thick, to Old Duncan, Lisa continued seriously:

“I want to participate in this operation.”

Old Duncan stared at her for a moment and nodded:

“Let’s go, we need to stealth in advance.”

“This is the leeward slope, our scent won’t be detected by the Rock-Horned Horse Herd, but we need to keep our bodies concealed and not make any noise.”

“Follow behind me and step in the same footprints.”

Lin Feng and the two nodded.

This operation is about quality, not quantity; the more people, the more likely the Rock-Horned Horses will be startled, causing more male Rock-Horned Horses to gather and charge.

So there are only four people in total.

Old Duncan was responsible for lassoing and confining the target, Chen Shanshan moved in to suppress it, Lin Feng assisted the two, and at the same time wielded his gun to suppress the incoming male Rock-Horned Horses.

Lisa, who joined temporarily, was responsible for stepping in when Old Duncan missed, and observing the situation.

The experience of capturing a Tier One Rock-Horned Horse is extremely valuable.

Even with numerous dangers, Old Duncan needed Lisa to have these experiences, which would absolutely benefit her future immensely.

With the operation starting, the group of four circled around avoiding the gathering of Rock-Horned Horses, cautiously heading towards the target’s location.

The monsoon blowing from the dried seabed carried moist air, blowing east to west into the bay canyon, then rushing down into the rift valley before finally landing on the back slope by Lin Feng’s side.

Forming a recirculating cyclone that resulted in today’s Wild Rift gathering place.

The moisture in the airflow condensed into water droplets.

Not only forming pools in rift valley caves but even the bottom of the slopes at the rift’s edge were covered in wild grass, vibrant with life and greenery.

The young, solitary stallions occupied this precious land.

They were in no hurry to leave.

This was where they changed their fate against the heavens.

The countless Rock-Horned Horse Herds coming and going were their lifelong struggle’s goal.

And now, a Five Horse Alliance comprised of five young Tier One male Rock-Horned Horses had defeated other peers and had become the controllers of this little oasis.

Full of confidence, they decided to take a crucial step in their horse lives:

Defeat the leader, start a family, and achieve success.

Two of the strongest leaders set their sights on a herd leader who had just finished a fight.

Its tribe had already drunk their fill and was preparing to leave.

The leader stepping out of the rift not only had scars on its face but also had the rock armor on its chest punctured, blood covering its body, yet with a strong self-healing ability, the six or seven centimeter wound had scabbed over and stopped bleeding.

However, it had long lost its former splendor, fully showing fatigue and weakness.

The Five Horse Alliance, under the call of the two brothers, immediately approached the target herd.

They first approached the mares in the group, showcasing their youthful vigor to attract their attention.

The herd leader, upon noticing this, immediately became furious, panting heavily as it charged over.

The two sides were about to set up a confrontation line.

But the herd leader, not speaking any words, launched a surprise attack first, using its power advantage at an evolution level to charge at one of the strongest challengers.

Weighing three tons, with a speed of over sixty kilometers and paired with a pair of giant horns, the impact was no less than a small truck.

It immediately knocked the target to the ground.

The other young Rock-Horned Horse, seeing this, launched an attack, but without adequate preparation, the collision only caused the leader to shudder violently without knocking it down.

But the herd leader did not stop, instead continuing to charge the fallen opponent, fiercely using its horns to press against the challenger’s chest and horse head.

Until it was completely unconscious, did it then raise its head to face the next challenger.

At this moment, it was covered in blood.

Not only its own blood but also that of the fallen opponent, appearing grim and fierce.

This scene directly shocked the other three companions in charge of the lineup who were at Level 11 and Level 12.

They were just teasing the mares not moments ago, not expecting that in just five or six seconds one brother was already down.

Another brother, though still confronting, had also lost the courage to continue the attack.

In the subsequent frontal duel, it was also knocked flying by the leader, dizzy and unable to get up again.

The blood-covered herd leader looked viciously at the remaining three young stallions, who were directly frightened into retreating, hiding aside.

After dealing with the challengers, the herd leader let out a long howl towards the sky, announcing its victory.

Then led its herd away from the rift valley.

Soon after, the two male Rock-Horned Horses that regained consciousness dragged their differently injured bodies back to a corner at the edge of the oasis, pondering their horse life.

And while they were licking their wounds, resting and recovering…

A group of human figures had quietly snuck close, gripping tightly the noose in their hands, preparing to put a shackle on one of them.

Old Duncan, with keen eyes, quickly identified the Rock-Horned Horse with the more serious injuries, though its strength was the strongest, it was also the most vulnerable.

Having been rammed by the herd leader, with its rock armor shattered, it still hadn’t fully regained consciousness.

As they closed in to within less than twenty meters of the target, Old Duncan, hiding behind a giant rock, decisively threw the noose in his hand.

Since the target was lying on the ground in a stationary state, there was no difficulty in aiming, practically a surefire shot.

But the real challenge was how to subdue it.

A Tier Eleven male Rock-Horned Horse could burst with over three tons of power when struggling, even if the reinforced woven rope could withstand it, the steel grappling hook would deform under such force.

Fortunately, the other end of the rope was already secured by Old Duncan around a giant rock, though still fixed by the grappling hook, the pulling force transmitted through the rope was largely offset by the friction when the rope was tightened through several loops.

Next, Chen Shanshan, who was already eager to try, took a leap and pounced fiercely.

While the male Rock-Horned Horse was getting up and dragging, taking advantage as its forelimbs lifted off the ground, she vigorously tackled it to the ground, and pressed her Titanium Gun against the Rock-Horned Horse’s throat, preventing it from standing up.

Old Duncan followed closely, taking out another rope to bind and secure the target’s hind limbs.

But the violently struggling Rock-Horned Horse was not so easily subdued, continuously kicking its hind legs.

The kicks were as powerful as a punch weighing several tons.

If kicked carelessly, one would be severely injured and half-crippled.

Lin Feng wanted to step in to help, but the cries of the male Rock-Horned Horse had already attracted its four brothers.

And the nearby other male Rock-Horned Horses also heard the noise and were converging towards here.

There was no way, Lin Feng could only draw the Level 10 Bomb Gun to suppress the oncoming Rock-Horned Horse herd.

At this moment, Lisa stepped up!

Taking the risk of being stomped to death, she helped Old Duncan press down the flailing horse back, securing the hind limb direction.

And Chen Shanshan also swung a fist, striking the hard horse head to try to knock it out directly.

With everyone’s help, successfully tying up the two hind legs, the capture was more than halfway done.

With the close cooperation of everyone, Old Duncan successfully completed the binding of both pairs of horse legs within a minute, capturing and securing the Rock-Horned Horse underneath.

Meanwhile, the Explosive Gun in Lin Feng’s hand also played a huge role, repelling the Rock-Horned Horse companions that were about to charge forward.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The gunfire and the impact of the blast bullet made the Rock-Horned Horses instantly surrender, skulking away.

A few minutes later, Lin Feng and three others lifted the hefty two-ton male Rock-Horned Horse and climbed up the slope.

The first capture operation ended with thrills but no danger.
