I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village-Chapter 444: A Unicorn Appears?

Early the next morning, Su Bai and the others were awakened by the calls of animals, as gentle rays of sunlight penetrated through the cracks in the huge rock to illuminate the insides of the cave.

They all got up and tidied themselves, preparing to ride the hot air balloon into the sky again today.

If they had to rely solely on their feet, it would take a lot of time and would be quite dangerous.

The last time they had searched the forest; they could not find any creatures resembling horses.

So this time they would use the hot air balloon to fly up high and search again, hoping they might find some.

Flying in the sky was also safer, as they would not need to worry about the Ferocious Beasts on the ground.

*Whoosh whoosh whoosh…* Everyone boarded the hot air balloon again and flew up into the sky, while Cang Shi continued to lead the Hunting Team to hunt.

As the hot air balloon rose higher and higher, it slowly moved away from the base and flew toward the depths of the Hunting Ground.

Su Bai took out his telescope and carefully examined every blade of grass and tree below. Since he was most familiar with horses, it was safer for him to hold the telescope.

The others were also trying their best to observe the ground with their own vision, all wanting to help.

Ai’er and Cheng Shi flew away from the hot air balloon and began flying at low altitude to search for horses. With wings, they could freely control their altitude and were more flexible in many aspects, so it would be more convenient for them to search independently.

Only Shu Feng remained on the hot air balloon; he needed to ensure the Shaman’s safety and could not leave.

"I wonder where the horses might be?" Yu Ying murmured, her pink eyes constantly surveying the ground below. Her fox tail kept swinging, with her buttocks raised high.

Yan Hua and the others were doing the same. But their actions were more exaggerated. All of them leaned over the edge of the basket and looked at the forest below, each very solemn in searching.

Because they knew that the Shaman had personally come on this trip, this meant that this matter was truly serious and was vital for the Tribe.

"Shaman, are those horses over there?" Yu Ying suddenly pointed to a patch of forest to the right front.

She noticed that there were several beasts in that part of the forest, but they disappeared in an instant, so she was not very sure.

"Let me see." Su Bai turned around and adjusted the telescope, looking in the direction she was pointing at.

He also sensed the slight trembling of leaves and could roughly see the silhouettes of animals.

However, it was very clear that those were not horses but some other unidentifiable animal.

"Shaman, how is it? Are those creatures horses?" Yu Ying asked expectantly.

Su Bai smiled, reached out and rubbed her head, saying softly. "Those aren’t horses."

Yu Ying was obviously disappointed, but she quickly perked up again and immediately searched the surroundings with her pink eyes.

Yan Hua seemed to suddenly discover something and immediately shouted. "Shaman, I think there are horses on my side."

Her voice was particularly loud, attracting the attention of people from the other two hot air balloons. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Su Bai heard the sound and immediately walked to her side, using the telescope to look in the direction she was pointing at.

After looking, he was stunned for a moment, and then to be sure, he looked again and excitedly exclaimed. "Those really are horses!"

In the direction Yan Hua was pointing at, there were tall trees everywhere, but these trees grew rather sparsely, unlike other parts of the forest which were so dense that the ground could not be seen.

The trees in that direction, although tall, were sparse enough to reveal the ground, which is why they managed to discover the horses walking among the trees.

However, there were not many horses, only five or six. They were leisurely eating leaves, looking very calm and at ease. They occasionally flicked their fluffy tails, and sometimes kept shaking their heads, looking quite comfortable.

The colours of those horses varied, with some being entirely brown, some completely black, and others spotted.

Moreover, the appearance of these horses was very similar to those on Earth, except that the horses here were more robust, and most importantly, they had a single horn on their foreheads.

Yes, a single horn, just like the Unicorns in Earth’s mythological stories. They looked very striking.

Su Bai was stunned just now for this reason. He was not too sure whether what he saw were actually horses. Because in his mind, horses didn’t have horns, but apart from this point, everything else completely matched with horses.

Only after carefully looking several more times did he confirm that these were indeed the horses he was looking for.

"Really? We really found horses?" Yan Hua could not believe what she heard, surprised that she was the one who found the horses.

"Are they really horses?" Yu Ying tilted her head, puzzled. "Why do they seem different from what the Shaman had described?"

Yu Ying did not remember horses having horns. None of the Shaman’s drawings showed they had horns, but the ones they were seeing now had horns.

"So these are horses. They look so special, much prettier than those cattle and sheep," Sha Lan remarked.

These horses had very muscular bodies, long limbs, along with smooth, long manes, and that horn on their foreheads, presenting an especially beautiful appearance.

It could be said that the appearance of these horses was considered beautiful among beasts, just like Su Bai was considered good-looking among the rough people of the Primitive Tribe.

"But there are so few of them…" Yan Hua said.

Su Bai did not care whether there were many horses or a few; as long as they could find them, it was good. He instructed people to start controlling the hot air balloon to approach those horses.

He naturally wanted to use his Taming Skill to Tame these horses. After all, horses were so hard to find, regardless of their quantity, he had to Tame them whenever he encountered them.

Besides, where there were horses, there would definitely be other horses nearby. It was better to Tame these few first.

Moreover, the capacity of the three hot air balloons was not very large. Being able to accommodate these six horses was still okay, considering that people also needed to ride in the hot air balloons.

*Whoosh whoosh whoosh…* The hot air balloon continuously approached those horses, and finally found an open space where they could land the hot air balloon and began to descend.

"Shaman, it’s too dangerous. Let me try first. It would be bad if these horses were to harm you." Sha Hong stepped forward first.

Ye Jiu also took out her combat knife and said with a serious expression. "Shaman, let us go to check them."

The two did not want anything to happen to Su Bai. Although these horses were normal animals, they were large, and they had a long horn on their foreheads. No one knew what the temperaments of these horses were like. If they turned out to be ferocious, it would be troublesome.

After all, that long horn, if it struck a human body, would certainly pierce through it.
