Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 160: One-star demon pet, Snowland Warhorse
Tang Zheng went back to the inn to pack his luggage and immediately met Xu Qingyan again.
Xu Qingyan still held the box with "special residual star power" in his hand and followed Tang Zheng without saying a word.
"Don't you ask where we are going?" Tang Zhengdao said.
"Didn't you say that?" Xu Qingyan looked calm. Tang Zheng said that they would proceed to the second step immediately, which was to turn the crime scene upside down. What else did he need to ask?
"Aren't you curious about which crime scene I'm going to? And why do I have to take you there?" Tang Zheng felt that he had had enough of having such a boring person around him.
"Oh, then go ahead." Xu Qingyan spread his hands.
Tang Zheng suddenly had a feeling that Xu Qingyan had no interest in where to go, but he was determined to tell Xu Qingyan.
In his previous life, he would definitely kick such a teammate who didn't like to communicate out of the team!
But at this moment he had no choice but to ignore those details and said, "Since you can't see Pan Yu's current location from the remnant of star power, then, let's go back... Let's go to the inn where Ban Yilou and Hua Yingxiu and the others stayed all the way from Yaoshan tribe !"
"Inn?" Xu Qingyan raised his eyelids. He originally thought that Tang Zheng was going to the willow grove where Pan Yu had an appointment with Hua Yingxiu seven days later.
"Inn!" Tang Zheng nodded and walked towards the East Street where he hired a carriage.
Since Tang Zheng clearly stated that he wanted to go to the inn, Xu Qingyan didn't ask why.
He turned around and said, "Don't go to the carriage company. It's impossible for you to take a carriage to and from Yaoshan Tribe in seven days."
"I don't need to go back and forth to the Yaoshan tribe, and I don't have seven days." Tang Zhengdao.
"So what's your plan?"
"Within three days, I must return to Wulong Town, no matter where I go."
Xu Qingyan did not ask why Tang Zheng only used three days when there were clearly seven days. He turned around and headed in another direction: "Then there would be even less time to ride in a carriage, not even enough time to ride a horse..."
Tang Zheng watched him take him to the alleys of West Street: "How long will it take?"
"Buy a demon pet." Xu Qingyan walked away without looking back, "Wulong Town is close to the border, there are captured snow-covered war horses!"
"Snowland Warhorse..."
"The quantity is small and the price is high. But I think this is not something you would consider." Xu Qingyan proposed this plan because he knew Tang Zheng was rich. What he meant was, of course, that Tang Zheng would buy it and he would use it.
…
West Street is very large, and it has been destroyed and rebuilt several times. Even Tang Zheng can't figure out some of the streets.
However, Xu Qingyan led the way and brought Tang Zheng to a horse shop with great skill.
"You two, it's so late, what would you like to order?" Of course the shopkeeper knew Xu Qingyan and Tang Zheng.
"Horse." Xu Qingyan walked straight in and entered the stable.
It was not the first time that Tang Zheng had seen a monster beast, but unlike the six-eared white deer he had seen that already had a bit of spirituality, the Snow Region War Horses did not look like monster beasts at all. Apart from being taller and prettier than ordinary horses, there was not much difference between them.
However, Tang Zheng was about to go in to take the horse, but was stopped by the shopkeeper with a pale face: "No, be careful, the Snow Region War Horse is a BMW captured on the battlefield. I only have two of them, and they have very bad tempers... Even for a warrior above three stars, it will take a few days to tame it..."
Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, Xu Qingyan reached out and gently touched the head of one of the Snow Region War Horses. Then, he smoothly added the saddle, stepped on the pedal, and climbed onto the horse's back.
The shopkeeper glared: "Uh, this..."
Xu Qingyan extended his hand to Tang Zheng, indicating that he could give the money, and then he went up and set off.
But Tang Zheng did not get on the horse, he just asked: "How much is this horse?"
"Twenty-five taels of purple gold. Hmm, twenty-five taels..." The shopkeeper quoted the price with a guilty conscience. Although he quoted a real price, it was still too high.
Unexpectedly, Tang Zheng directly threw fifty purple gold coins to him, and then walked towards another snow-covered warhorse.
Xu Qingyan frowned when he saw the direction he was going, "Below three stars, it's impossible to tame..."
"Let's try it first. Riding together will reduce the movement speed!" Tang Zheng replied to Xu Qingyan.
The setting that reduces the movement speed when two people ride together has almost penetrated into Tang Zheng's subconscious mind.
Another subconscious thought is - how can a man and a man ride together? It doesn't fit the setting!
Xu Qingyan stopped talking, but the owner of Ma Xing was very anxious.
The Snow Warhorse is the mount of the alien cavalry, a thing on the battlefield, is it a joke?
Even though it is only one star, if something unexpected happens during the taming process, it may even crush a two-star warrior into a pulp!
If something happened to Tang Zheng here, even if just a few hairs fell off, he couldn't imagine how many people would tear his entire body into pieces.
Da da da…
As soon as Tang Zheng approached another Snow Region warhorse, the horse began to snort and move around restlessly in the stable. In Xu Qingyan's right hand, the star power had already extended into the sword. If the warhorse made any unusual movements, he could kill it at any time.
Tang Zheng stood in front of the warhorse without any concern, staring closely at its huge eyes.
Look at each other...
The Snow Warhorse's tail began to swing.
A demonic fire behind it has been rising gradually, becoming brighter and brighter as it gets more angry!
The owner of the horse shop nearby was sweating in his palms.
However, Tang Zheng still just looked into its eyes. The killing intent in that moment was so intense that even Xu Qingyan couldn't help but frown and took a half step back...
In Tang Zheng's mind, various ferocious beast elite monsters, ferocious beast leader monsters, and those domineering bosses that he had killed in his previous life kept flashing through!
The murderous intent that burst out from his eyes made the snow-covered warhorse even more restless.
"It's over, it's over..." The horse shop owner could also feel that the atmosphere between Tang Zheng and the Snow Region Warhorse was becoming more and more tense, and the warhorse was becoming more and more irritable and uneasy under the pressure of his murderous intent.
Then, the eyes of the Snow Horse suddenly turned into a dazzling bright red!
The shopkeeper Ma Xing cried out "Oops" in his heart, and finally couldn't help but say: "Run!"
But at the same time when the horse shop owner shouted this, Tang Zheng not only did not retreat, but took a step forward, went straight into the stable, and pulled out the dagger with a "swish".
In his previous life, he had pulled out the dagger like this countless times.
When facing those vicious big bosses, he used this look and this dagger repeatedly.
bite……
He unsheathed his dagger and looked into the red eyes of the Snowy Warhorse for the last time.
Just when the horse shop owner thought he was going to kill the Snow Warhorse, the warhorse suddenly lowered its head and fell to the ground!
"Uh..." The shopkeeper Ma Xing's eyes were about to fall out.
"..."The star power on Xu Qingyan's sword was also slowly retracted.
Without saying anything, Tang Zheng buckled the saddle, stepped on it, climbed over and pulled the reins: "Go!"
The owner of the Ma Hang shop had already received the money, so of course he wouldn't stop it.
However, his eyes remained as wide as a horse's.
Snow Region Warhorses are very difficult to tame. It would have been fine if Xu Qingyan tamed one very quickly, but there was also Tang Zheng...
"How did you do it?" Xu Qingyan asked as the two men on two horses rode out under the cover of night.
"There are only two ways to tame a horse. You get close to it and gain its trust, and I... just scare it." Tang Zheng's voice drifted in the night wind.
…
The speed of the Snow Region Warhorse is indeed fast, because it uses its demonic power to travel, so it is not comparable to that of ordinary horses.
Riding a warhorse in the snow is like a person driving a martial arts vehicle, so naturally it goes very fast.
"We're here. This is the Lai Fu Inn!" Tang Zheng stopped his horse.
Xu Qingyan, who had been following closely behind him, also jumped off the horse.
Two men led the horses and ran straight to the entrance of Lai Fu Inn.
The waiter who was greeting customers at the door of the store was just about to come up to help the two men tie up their horses when he was suddenly hit right in the face by the fishy wind that came out of the mouths and noses of the two evil horses.
He looked up and saw the two demon horses with demonic fire on their heads in the night. Their copper-bell-sized green eyes were staring at him.
"Oh my god, a monster... a demon beast?!" the waiter screamed.
That expression was exactly like the parking boy in his previous life who saw someone driving a Lamborghini or Ferrari drifting directly in front of him, full of awe and awe.
In fact, there is even more fear.
After all, Lamborghinis may look cool, but at least they won’t bite people…
The waiter hesitated, looking at Tang Zheng and Xu Qingyan with an apologetic smile, and didn't dare to go up to hold the horses for a long time: "You two, your mounts are too majestic, I dare not touch them, how about..."
Tang Zheng looked at the waiter's timid look, laughed and scolded him, then he and Xu Qingyan led the demon horse to the stable and tied it up.
There were mostly ordinary horses in the stable. When they saw the Snow Region War Horses led in by Tang Zheng and Xu Qingyan, they all shrank into the corner spontaneously.
Tang Zheng shook his head and smiled, then turned and walked into the inn.
"Boss, room number three!" Tang Zheng was brought in by the waiter. After taking a quick look, he threw out two Liuyin Tongbao coins.
"Sir, Room No. 1 is also vacant now, and the price is not much different. How about you open another Room No. 1?" The shopkeeper saw that Tang Zheng and Xu Qingyan were well-dressed and had outstanding temperament, so he recommended it.
"No, it has to be number three!" Tang Zheng affirmed.
"Just one room, number three?" The shopkeeper glanced at Tang Zheng and Xu Qingyan.
"Yes!" Tang Zheng said impatiently.
"Okay." The shopkeeper lowered his head and wrote two strokes while giving the two of them a subtle look.
After entering room number three, Tang Zheng slowly poured himself a cup of tea, held it in his hand, but his eyes did not stop, and he began to observe his surroundings carefully.
As for Xu Qingyan, without saying a word, he raised the star image and started to check the remaining star power inch by inch starting from the door.
This is an inn, with various people coming and going, and the remaining star power is also very complex.
For Xu Qingyan, sensing star power in a place like this is also a huge test.
Half an hour later, Xu Qingyan was sweating all over and looked exhausted. He said to Tang Zheng, "There are the remaining star powers of Hua Yingxiu and Madam Zhao. Then, there are the remaining star powers of the Zhao family man and Manager Ban at the door. The rest... there are no special star powers like the ones on the box."
Tang Zheng thought for a moment, then said, "Okay. Check out and go to the next inn!"
