Chapter 376 Hunting?
In fact, if it was just the competition itself, Duanmu Huai would not have a hard time. After all, as long as there were no other rules, he could just jump on his opponent and tie him up at the start of the race, and then walk all the way to the finish line.
Anyway, Duanmu Huai's fighting power is here, and this group of horse girls can't be his opponent even if they rush up.
But... the problem lies after that.
After all, fighting is just a means, and the purpose is to make the girl monsters obey, just like the snow girl before. Seeing Duanmu Huai, she was so scared that she almost showed her belly to show her friendliness, but Duanmu Huai spent a lot of effort and couldn't get her.
"Then... are there any rules?"
Duanmu Huai decided to ask clearly first, and then consider it.
"Yeah."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, the horse girl nodded.
"1200 meters, 1500 meters, 1700 meters, 2000 meters, 2500 meters, 3000 meters, you can choose freely, the first one to reach the finish line wins. Of course, you can use any means as long as it does not hinder the contestants."
"…………………………"
Oh my god, it's no wonder that she is a horse girl. The running starts at 1000 meters...
"Let me think about it."
After hearing the introduction of the horse girl, Duanmu Huai nodded, then walked to the side, looked at the grass in front of him and began to think.
Although it sounds bad to say this, Duanmu Huai himself really can't run fast, after all, he is big and not very agile. Without power armor and jetpack, his speed is actually average. Of course, it is certain that he is faster than humans, after all, there is the bonus of the Dark Raven Guard. But other than that...
There seems to be no acceleration magic in magic, all of which are attack and defense.
As for the electromagnetic giant rhino...can the electromagnetic giant rhino run faster than the horse girl?
If Duanmu Huai remembered correctly, the electromagnetic giant rhino was more like a heavy tank, not very fast, and its main function was to ram the enemy.
"In short, let's try it first."
Duanmu Huai made a decision and came to Ma Niang to explain the situation to her. Ma Niang didn't seem to care that Duanmu Huai summoned other things to compete with Ma Niang. So in the end, to be on the safe side, Duanmu Huai chose the 2000-meter race, and then he came to the starting point and stood side by side with a group of Ma Niang. Those Ma Niangs seemed to be quite interested in this behemoth, looking over here from time to time, looking at Duanmu Huai and the electromagnetic giant rhino under him.
"Then, the race... begins!"
As the voice of Ma Niang fell, the next moment Duanmu Huai saw the Ma Niang girls around him suddenly start and gallop forward quickly!
"Damn!"
Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai was also surprised. Although he had guessed that Ma Niang ran fast, he didn't expect it to run so fast! He hadn't reacted at all, and the opponent had already thrown him behind!
This won't do!
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai hurriedly controlled the electromagnetic giant rhino and galloped forward in big strides, trying to keep up with the horse girl's pace.
The result... well, of course, it lost.
How to say... Compared with the horse girl, Duanmu Huai's electromagnetic giant rhino is like a wild boar running wildly.
Of course, the wild boar is not slow, but compared with the horse... it's another matter.
"This horse girl is more difficult to deal with than the horse..."
After a round of competition, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh, and he found that this horse girl even ran faster than the horse. If you think about it carefully, this is also normal. After all, the horse is large in size and the wind resistance is of course strong. But the horse girls are all petite girls, and the wind resistance area is of course much smaller than that of the horse, so even if they are compared with the horse, the horse girl will definitely run faster than the horse... Of course, the horse has four legs, but four legs can't guarantee that it will win...
The electromagnetic giant rhino also has four legs, but it didn't come in last.
There is no other way. It seems that we have to use magic to deal with magic and animals to deal with animals.
Duanmu Huai took out the soul card again silently. Since the magic from Manalia could not deal with this situation, he had to see if the animals in the border forest could help... Like the tree-horned reindeer summoned on the Terminator Planet before - I guess not. Can deer run as fast as horses?
Probably not. After all, there are only racehorses but no racedeer in the world, which is very telling.
Unfortunately, there is no horse in his card, which is also normal. Horses don't live in the forest.
Then the remaining choice is...
"Uh... ..."
Duanmu Huai looked at the card in his hand and silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
[Omnis, the ancestor giant wolf (legend)]
[Consumption: 7]
[Attack: 4]
[Defense: 5]
[(Gallop) Whenever the giant wolf enters its battlefield, give the servant the "charge" effect. 】
[Entrance song: Return X other cards on your battlefield to your hand, and summon X giant wolves to the battlefield (X is the number of cards that left the battlefield due to this ability)]
[Its footprints make the earth sprout, and if it roars, it will live forever]
Wolf... um, wolves, I remember they seem to run pretty fast? And this giant wolf is huge, so it should be fine?
But... it won't eat these horse girls in front of it as prey?
It shouldn't... right?
Never mind, I'll know after trying it.
Duanmu Huai silently took out the card, and then a flash of light appeared. The next moment, a white giant wolf about the size of an electromagnetic rhino appeared in front of him.
(My Lord…)
The giant wolf bowed its head to Duanmu Huai and saluted him respectfully.
“You’re welcome, Omnis. The reason I summoned you here is actually very simple…”
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai told him about his race with the horse girl, and then looked at the white giant wolf.
“Can you do it?”
(Of course)
Omnis’ voice sounded again, and it raised its head proudly.
(I am the ancestor giant wolf. My speed is unmatched. A mere horse is no match for me. Even on the grassland, I can easily catch up with them and bite off their necks…)
“Stop, stop, stop, stop… It’s just a simple race. Don’t think about dangerous things.”
(Okay, my Lord)
“………………”
Is it really okay?
But now it doesn't matter if there is a problem, after all, the other party is a subordinate soul card... should be obedient.
Should?
So Duanmu Huai turned over and rode on the giant wolf, and came to the side of the horse girl again. Looking at the huge pure white giant wolf in front of her, the serious-looking horse girl was also tense at the moment.
"What is this?"
"This time I plan to ride it to compete with you, is it okay?"
"Of course... OK."
Obviously, facing this giant wolf, the horse girl was a little hesitant, but she still nodded.
"Then, this time you choose..."
"3000 meters."
This is the choice after Duanmu Huai and Omnis discussed. According to the giant wolf, "the horse has a fast explosive power and speed, but limited endurance. As long as you keep chasing it until it is exhausted and reveals a flaw, it can be easily hunted" - I want to talk to Duanmu Huai about the experience of prairie wolves hunting wild horses, but forget it.
"Woo............"
When Duanmu Huai came to the starting point again, the horse girls here seemed to feel a certain uneasiness when looking at the white giant wolf. Well, although they looked like horse girls, they still had the threat and fear of natural enemies in their bones.
"Then, the race begins!"
Accompanied by an order, the horse girls at the starting line instantly ran out and rushed forward... Why did this speed feel faster than before?
Uh... Duanmu Huai guessed the reason.
"Roar---!"
At the same time, the white giant wolf also jumped up and rushed forward. It lowered its head, its whole body tensed, and it flew across the grassland like an arrow, biting the horse girl in front of it tightly. At the same time, the white giant wolf opened its mouth and let out a low roar.
"Ah————!"
Just hearing the roar from behind, the faces of the horse girls suddenly changed. They didn't know if it was an illusion, but they always felt that a bloodthirsty sight was staring at them from behind, which forced the horse girls to run forward with all their strength. They always had a feeling that if they fell behind, they would be pounced on by the terrible white giant wolf behind them, and then their necks would be bitten off directly!
Just thinking of this, some horse girls already felt a dull pain in their necks!
"You run so fast..."
Riding on the white giant wolf, looking at the horse girls in front, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh—well, in fact, he could understand that if a group of wolves were released behind the runners in the track and field competition, they would all be able to run a world record.
(Haha, in the final analysis, they are just a group of foals, and they don't know how to allocate their energy. Even horses will consume a lot of energy when running at full speed, and then gradually fall behind. Next, I just need to catch the one that falls behind...)
"I'll make it clear in advance that these are not for you to eat."
(I know)
As she spoke, a horse girl seemed to be just like what the white giant wolf said, and her speed gradually slowed down due to excessive physical consumption. At the same time, the white giant wolf suddenly accelerated as if it had set its sights on its prey, and rushed directly to the side of the horse girl. Seeing this giant wolf that was bigger than herself, the panting horse girl suddenly turned pale, and the white giant wolf stared at her with a sneer in his eyes, then opened his mouth and suddenly "clicked" to make a biting action.
"Ah---!!!"
The next moment, the horse girl was so scared that her legs softened and she fell to the ground. The white giant wolf instantly accelerated and continued to run forward, rushing to the next target!
As the white giant wolf charged forward, the horse girls in front were also in chaos. After all, they had never encountered such a "battle royale"-like competition. The horse girls running behind were frightened by the white giant wolf and screamed and fainted, and the horse girls running in front were also scared to death when they heard their companions' screams, so soon the whole team collapsed. Then the white giant wolf was seen running forward from behind, pretending to bite a horse girl when it caught one. In the blink of an eye, the horse girl team in front was completely wiped out, and only Duanmu Huai rode the white giant wolf and staggered across the finish line.
And behind them, there were horse girls with corpses everywhere - of course, they were not really corpses everywhere.
"Is this all right?"
Returning to the front of the horse girl leader, Duanmu Huai recalled the white giant wolf and asked, of course he was a little uneasy in his heart. The latter nodded.
"Of course, this is your victory. It can only be said that my companions still lack training. They panicked when facing some small dangers. It seems that they still need training!"
While speaking, the leading horse girl glared at the horse girls who were lying on the ground like they had survived a disaster. The latter couldn't even speak at this moment.
"You all saw it."
Retracting her gaze, the leading horse girl looked at the others.
"He has passed the test, so who of you is willing to become the familiar of this monster?"
"…………………………"
Hearing the words of the leading horse girl, the other horse girls hesitated, and after a moment, a petite horse girl came out and looked at Duanmu Huai with a smile.
"Big brother, I want to ask you, after becoming your familiar, where will you take me?"
"That's hard to say."
Duanmu Huai thought for a while, then shrugged his shoulders.
"After all, I won't stay in one place for long. I will travel everywhere and fight."
"So, how many places will you go?"
"Well... on a world scale."
"World?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the horse girl was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled and stretched out her hand.
"Then big brother, I am willing to be your familiar."
