Chapter 164: Horse Taming Set!
Wind God!!!
Movement speed increased by 10 times!!!
Godspeed!!!
Movement speed increased by 100 times!!!
The two stacked, a thousand times movement speed!!!
Li Xiang's figure was like a phantom, instantly rushing to the front of the Crimson Flame Steed.
The Crimson Flame Steed was dumbfounded. Seeing Li Xiang standing in front of it with a smile, it immediately turned its head and rushed in another direction.
After it had rushed out dozens of meters, Li Xiang chuckled and lifted his foot.
His whole person was no different from flying out, instantly arriving in front of the Crimson Flame Steed.
The Crimson Flame Steed looked at Li Xiang who had rushed in front of it again, turned its head again, and rushed in another direction.
This time, Li Xiang let it sprint for a hundred meters, then lifted his foot.
The next second, Li Xiang appeared in front of it.
The Crimson Flame Steed was stunned...
It stared blankly at Li Xiang.
Li Xiang looked at it happily, "I'll let You run for a while longer..."
The Crimson Flame Steed seemed to understand Li Xiang's words, turned its head again, and quickly rushed out.
This time, its speed was even faster.
Li Xiang let it run for two hundred meters, still without moving.
The Crimson Flame Steed had run such a long distance and, seeing that it hadn't been caught up to, happily looked back.
Huh?
Where's the person?
Turning its head back, bang!
It collided with Li Xiang.
However, Li Xiang's body remained motionless, while its body was directly knocked down to the side.
Although it was level 30 and Black Iron quality with decent attributes, compared to Li Xiang, who was level 46 with amazing equipment, there was still too much difference. The collision of pure strength plus inertia still couldn't move Li Xiang.
Li Xiang yawned, glanced at the duration of the two skills, his gaze falling on the Crimson Flame Steed, and spoke with full chuunibyou flair.
"You are the fastest horse in L烈马平原, and I am the fastest Human in the entire World. Surrender to me, let us join forces, and save this 'slow' World!!!"
The Crimson Flame Steed's pupils flickered, and it quickly rushed to the side.
This time, it ran very, very far, a full thousand meters before Li Xiang moved.
In the time it takes for a breath, Li Xiang's figure appeared lightly in front of the Crimson Flame Steed.
At this moment, the Crimson Flame Steed was breathing out hot air from its nostrils, clearly exhausted.
Constant short-distance sprints and acceleration were also a huge drain on its stamina.
"How about this, we have a race. Whoever reaches that big tree first wins. If I win, You surrender to me. If You win, I'll let You go."
The Crimson Flame Steed raised its head and neighed, directly rushing towards the place Li Xiang pointed to.
Meanwhile, Li Xiang didn't move.
More than ten seconds later, the Crimson Flame Steed was less than a hundred meters from the big tree. Seeing that it was about to win, it glanced back. Seeing that Li Xiang still hadn't moved, it neighed in dissatisfaction.
At this moment, Li Xiang moved.
His entire body moved rapidly, leaving a trail of afterimages. Almost instantly, he surpassed the Crimson Flame Steed and reached the big tree.
The Crimson Flame Steed stared blankly at Li Xiang, trotted over to Li Xiang, and lowered its two front legs.
【Ding! Mission "Crimson Flame Steed's Pride" completed.】
【Ding! Obtained mission reward "Crimson Flame Steed's Loyalty"】
Seeing these two system prompts, Li Xiang understood the Crimson Flame Steed's meaning. It was lowering itself, meaning it wanted him to ride on it.
Immediately, Li Xiang directly rode on it.
With Advanced Horsemanship, even without a saddle or other tools, Li Xiang could sit steadily.
"Giddy up!!!"
Instantly, the Crimson Flame Steed carried Li Xiang and rushed back towards the previous spot.
Upon arrival.
The NPC Horse Ranch Owner was still sitting there resting.
Seeing Li Xiang return riding the Crimson Flame Steed, he was stunned and immediately trotted over to salute.
"Royal Guard, I am Zhang Shihao, the Horse Ranch Owner of Wu Shuang City."
Zhang Shenhao?!
What kind of name is that?
Just as Li Xiang was feeling puzzled and curious, two system prompts appeared.
【Ding! "Wu Shuang City Horse Ranch Owner - Zhang Shihao" Favorability +10, current value: 10】
【Ding! Relationship with Wu Shuang City Horse Ranch Owner - Zhang Shihao reached: Friendly】
Looking at the favorability that increased for no reason, Li Xiang also knew the exact name of this NPC.
But...
Why did this guy look like he had a guilty conscience...
Little did he know that NPC Zhang Shihao was panicking immensely right now. He had only secretly sold a few horses to line his own pockets and kept a mistress. It shouldn't be enough to alarm the Royal Guard, right?
This Royal Guard was also a bit too formidable...
As soon as he arrived, he subdued the Crimson Flame Steed, which was very difficult for him to subdue.
That speed just now was more ghostly than a ghost. Luckily, he didn't think about running, otherwise, he would probably be a corpse by now.
But another problem arose.
What did this Royal Guard come to find him for?!
On this side, Li Xiang thought for a moment and decided to get straight to the point, "Horse Ranch Owner Zhang, I came to see You this time because I want to get some guidance on taming horses."
Taming horses? Guidance?
Zhang Shihao breathed a sigh of relief, he wasn't here to arrest him...
He cleared his throat, "Of course You can..."
After speaking, he looked at Li Xiang and tentatively asked, "Um... Royal Guard, many people have come to ask me about matters related to taming horses recently. Could they be your subordinates?"
Li Xiang nodded directly, "Indeed, they are my subordinates. However, they did not receive your guidance, so I came myself."
After hearing Li Xiang's words, NPC Zhang Shihao wanted to slap himself a few times. If he had known, he would have taught them. It wasn't anything difficult, and he even made this person come personally.
He almost thought he was going to be exposed...
"That's easy to say... That's easy to say..."
"It's just that your subordinates should have the technique for taming horses, but the tools require a little money. What do You think..."
Li Xiang waved his hand, "How much? I won't short You."
Zhang Shihao wanted to say 10,000 gold coins, but when the words reached his mouth, his gaze met the royal guard badge Li Xiang was wearing, "10 gold coins will do..."
This price didn't even cover the cost. He was trying to do Li Xiang a favor and quickly send him away.
Only 10 gold coins?!
Li Xiang was stunned for a moment and immediately gave him the money.
Zhang Shihao didn't hesitate either and quickly gave the items to Li Xiang.
"Horse Taming Set: Contains various tools for taming horses."
Clearly, this was only usable by the Beast Tamer profession.
Li Xiang looked at Zhang Shihao, "One set isn't enough. I have many Beast Tamers among my subordinates. Give me a hundred or two hundred sets first."
Zhang Shihao was stunned.
Not to mention that he didn't have that many Horse Taming Sets at all, even if he did, selling them at 10 gold coins a set, the little money he had embezzled wouldn't be enough to fill the gap even if he spit it all out.
"Um... Ro... Royal Guard... The situation is like this..."
...
Finally, Li Xiang purchased 14 sets of Horse Taming Sets at a price of 140 gold coins, and happily crushed the Return City Stone, returning to the Guild Residence.
