Chapter 10 Catching Horses
With great worries, Lu Chao and Lu Mingchao and fifteen family monks left Yuyan Mountain and headed north.
Their actions were very purposeful. The map clearly marked the location of the horse herd yesterday, and also drew the route of the horse herd to migrate.
Their location is about 240 miles away from the horse tribe. This distance is not far away for the monks. Cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage can reach it in half a day at a normal speed; for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, they can pass by a little more than an hour by driving a takeoff sword or other flying props.
The water spirit horse is also a first-level spirit beast, and its speed is even slightly faster than that of the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.
But it should be noted that this herd of horses is on the way to migrate, but no strong enemies are chasing them. They also have to look for water, food while walking, and even have time to rest and play. In this way, the speed of stopping and stopping will not be too fast.
It’s still not a big problem if you catch up within four days, especially if your goals are clear.
In fact, they had already found the trace of the horse herd the next morning.
Almost the same as the pre-marked route.
By noon, they officially met the horses.
This group of water spirit horses counted twenty-four, including five young horses, twelve mares and seven stallions. They were drinking and resting by a pool, and several ponies were chasing and running around each other, as if they were fighting. These water spirit horses were all blue and white, and a faint blue halo from the skin, which was very beautiful.
Lu Mingchao is a cultivator with the double spiritual roots of Shuimu. The technique she practiced is called "Shuiyun Du Su". There is a trick that is quite useful at this time.
Together with Brother Qi, she first directed all the monks to form a circle, and then she started to do it first.
The technique of pinching hands and the "Cloud and Fog Curse" was cast.
This spell can summon a thick cloud and mist, covering an area and covering her body. In addition, the practitioner can sense the situation in the cloud and mist, and at the same time, she can also synchronize this feeling to her companions.
The horses had already reacted when the fog first appeared.
They are water spiritual beasts themselves and are very sensitive to changes in water spiritual energy.
As the stallion neighed, the entire horse herd moved. They formed a horse herd, and all the adult water spirit horses formed a circle to protect the young horses in the middle of the circle.
As the horses were restless, three monks suddenly appeared in the west. They were fighting openly and approaching the horses from the outside, and shouting intimidatingly.
Although the water spirit horse is a spirit beast with spiritual energy, they are peaceful and docile by nature and are not aggressive. After being intimidated, the horse's first reaction is to run in the opposite direction.
This hit the trap of the monks.
Lu Chaohe is the only second-level formation master in the family. He has already arranged the formation in advance to the east of the horse tribe. When the horse tribe passed by, he appeared from the fog, shook a bell in his hand, and activated the formation with the help of four other Qi training monks.
The spiritual energy surged, the land rolled, and the horses couldn't stand firmly in amid the roars, and they were all let down one by one.
This is a second-level low-grade earth formation called "Inverted Earth Formation". The effect is just like now. It can turn the ground, making the target in the formation unable to move freely, thus being trapped and squeezed by the earth. Moreover, because the heavy earth spiritual energy is working, the flying spell will be restrained to a certain extent.
The Shui Ling Horse can't fly at first, so it's useless to use this formation.
More than a dozen monks appeared together at this time, surrounded the formation and began to penetrate the restriction inward.
"Uncle Qi is gentle, Uncle Qi is gentle..." A female voice sounded, speaking to a girl who looked quite young, with a pretty face, but she is already forty-five years old.
Cultivators, especially female monks, cannot judge age by their appearance. In the world of cultivation, except for individual circumstances, almost all female cultivators with conditions can be considered as having the skills to maintain their appearance. Cultivation itself will keep the body at its peak of youth, not to mention that there are some elixirs available.
Her name is Lu Xueting, the second generation of the Lu family, is currently in the sixth stage of Qi training. Judging from the progress of this practice, there is little hope for foundation building.
But she is currently the only animal trainer in the family, and she is at the top level.
Once upon a time, the family also had a small group of spiritual beasts. They raised some demon ducks. At first, they hired people from outside to train them. Later, they felt that it was not a problem, so the family itself also trained a beast trainer, Lu Xueting.
Unfortunately, people have been trained, and the demon ducks are gone...
But now, it can come in handy again.
The Shuiling Horse Herd is far more important than the kind of demon duck that can only be raised for food. At least a second-level animal trainer can be well managed. But there is no way, the family has the conditions now, and they can even get it even if they bite the bullet.
She also attached great importance to this mission, for fear that Uncle Qi's downward earth formation would kill several of these precious spirit horses. Even if she didn't die, breaking her legs would be a great loss.
After receiving the conscript, she began to refine talisman papers that could control spirit beasts. During the two days of tracking, she did not stop refining. With the previous inventory, she prepared forty or fifty first-level beast control talismans in one breath and distributed them to other monks.
At this time, after the horse tribe was controlled, she led the monks of the family to beat the beast talismans inwards one by one.
The spirit beasts that are labeled with the beast control talisman will be temporarily controlled by the beast tamer. This kind of control cannot last long. The subsequent depend on the ability of the beast tamer and whether it can tame the spirit beast.
But now I don’t have time to tame one horse after another. I first used the beast control talisman to move the horse herd to the foot of Yuyan Mountain, and then considered slowly taming herd.
The first-level beast control talisman, for a first-level spirit beast like the Water Spirit Horse, has a high control success rate, which is 70%. After using thirty-five beast control talismans, all the water spirit horses were controlled except the Horse King.
The horse king had a particularly strong personality. It struggled constantly in the earth-falling formation, and the water-moving spiritual energy surging, trying to stand up and rush out, but was knocked down again and again. Four or five beast-controlling talismans hit it, but there was no effect. In the end, there was no way out. Lu Chaohe said:
"Kill it, you can peel and cramp and bring your spirits back."
"What a pity." Lu Ming said, "I'll think of a solution..."
After saying that, she pinched the magic tricks and used another move.
A waterline shot out from her hand and turned into a rope, entangling the trapped horse king tightly.
"My sister, do you want to drag the horse king back all the way?" Lu Chaohe looked a little worried. He was afraid that his young sister would not be able to hold on.
