I ran up a small hill and looked at the dozens of white figures resting and eating in the distance. I finally let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, I wasn't left behind by them. Once I relaxed, I immediately felt my body ache and weak. My bones were about to fall apart. I groaned and fell to the ground. I quickly recovered my strength.
Normal rhinos are mostly grayish-brown in color, but the dozen white shadows I was chasing were White Rhinoceroses. They could be considered royalty among the Rhinoceroses. Not only were they stronger, but they were also snow-white in color and had an elegant appearance. They were the best among mount pets, and their value was comparable to a third-grade magic pet. However, their population is very small and they are prone to migrating. They have no fixed residence and are the most active type of creature in the Grand Canyon. They roam freely in the canyon all day long, forming a beautiful scenery. Last time, Little Chili Pepper dragged me around to look for them, but in the end, I was disappointed and didn't get to see them. It was also because of this strange habit that although it attracted the attention of many pet hunters, it was very difficult to bump into it. Even if they were lucky enough to find a group, in the continuous galloping, not many players would have enough stamina and comparable speed to last until the moment when they discovered the gap in the Single-horned White Rhinoceros 'defense and rushed to capture the young beast.
Although I was extremely unlucky in real life, my luck in the game wasn't too bad. After going through so many calamities, I was able to turn the situation around. This time, I had Tao Tao as a means of transportation, which greatly increased the speed of my search. I hadn't even found the horned rhinoceros 'nest, but I unexpectedly found a group of resting horned white rhinoceroses. I couldn't help but thank the heavens for their mercy. No matter if it was a pet egg or a baby beast, Wind should be happy to get a horned white rhinoceros as a birthday present.
I wasn't the first to discover this, and I naturally wouldn't be the last. The groups of pet hunters who had heard of this news all locked onto this group of over 200 Single-Horned White Rhinoceroses, their eyes wide open as they searched for a good opportunity to strike. However, the rhinoceros herd that was resting was the most well-guarded. There was no chance for them to take advantage of the situation. If they wanted to capture the young rhinoceros, they had to attack by force. That was something that only a large-scale pet hunting team could do. Moreover, once they attacked, there would be no room for others to intervene. It was difficult to miss any benefits. For these spies, it was not a good thing. Although there was no chance now, at least there was a glimmer of hope.
Surrounded by many hostile gazes, the rhinoceros herd was tightly guarded and did not leave any loopholes for them to exploit. When they got up and began to gallop, most pet hunters helplessly chose to give up and look for new targets. It was impossible to catch up with the rhinoceros herd with just two legs. Only players like me who had mounts were qualified to continue the pursuit. Most of them were knights who rode wild horses and buffalos. I was the only one who rode a strange skeleton horse, which attracted the attention of many people. Fortunately, everyone's target was the rhinoceros herd that was running wildly, so no one came to disturb me for a while.
This kind of chase was not only a test of speed, but also a contest of endurance. The strength of the new mount was relatively weak. In addition, it had an additional person's weight on its back. It was not like the young beast that could receive the help of the entire rhinoceros herd. When its physical strength was insufficient, it would slowly be left further and further behind. It could only helplessly withdraw from the competition. In fact, even a stalker like me who had persisted didn't know what to do next. The rhinoceros herd hadn't revealed any flaws that I could use, so I was just blindly persisting. I didn't have any specific plans for how to deal with more than 200 single-horned white rhinoceroses.
Surprisingly, there was a female rhino in the herd that was about to give birth. After a short rest, the herd suddenly split into a dozen unusually strong horned white rhinos, protecting a pot-bellied female rhino as they left the group and moved in another direction. " Sky Media " had a detailed report on this situation. It should be a sign that they were about to give birth and had to find a nest to lay their pet eggs as soon as possible. As long as they could follow them, they would have a chance to get the pet eggs. It was much better than blindly searching. However, this was only theoretically true. At this stage, the ability of the mount was not high, and it was difficult to take on the heavy responsibility of tracking. The success rate was extremely low.
Without the cubs holding them back, the speed of the small teams that were separated increased drastically. Even the pregnant female rhinoceros ran very quickly. I didn't see any negative effects of pregnancy at all, which clearly increased the difficulty of tracking them. This made me secretly curse at the system's abnormal design. How could this " pregnant woman " be " fake "? The difference was too great!
However, compared to the rhinoceros horde that I could only look at but couldn't attack, I had the ability to take down this small team of only a dozen or so single-horned white rhinoceroses. As long as I tracked them to the nest they had chosen, it would be a tough battle. I could make use of the advantage of the number of zombies and have enough time to make arrangements. Thinking of this, I naturally didn't hesitate to mount Tao Tao and chase after him.
Great minds think alike. Most of the players who persisted until here made the same choice as me. It seemed that if I wanted to get the pet egg in the end, I had to defeat these players first.
After running for a few hours, its speed did not slow down at all. Moreover, it would change directions from time to time. It was impossible for it to go around and wait in front of them. It could only chase after them. It made people admire the endurance of the Single-Horned White Rhinoceros. At the same time, they complained endlessly about their situation. Looking around, other than me, the rest of the players had already been left behind. No mount could carry a person until now. Even my Taotao, who had developed for so long and experienced another evolution, was already too tired to run. Every once in a while, he had to return to the " Dead Spirit Space " to rest and recover his strength. During this time, he had to rely on my two legs to support himself. I had the Thief's " One Rider Breaks the Dust " skill, so my speed was barely comparable to that of the White Rhinoceros. I also had a relatively high amount of mental support, so I could use it continuously for a long time. Coincidentally, I had leveled up again, so my stamina had also increased a little. When I was exhausted, I would summon Taotao to ride for a while. Just like that, I took turns to advance. At least I wasn't left behind by the White Rhinoceros like the others.
I had already left the core area of the canyon, but now I had returned. I was surrounded by hostile beasts, and I still had to maintain my speed to keep up with the Single-Horned White Rhinoceros. I felt that it was getting more and more difficult. If I wasn't careful, I might be attacked.
I continued to chase after them while trembling in fear, occasionally avoiding the harassment of the nearby beasts. If it wasn't for the fact that the female rhinoceros that was about to lay eggs was getting slower and slower, I would have been shaken off by them. In the end, the dozen or so White Rhinoceroses entered a dense thicket. I stood on a high ground a little further away and observed for a long time, but I never came out again. It seemed that this was the nest they had chosen beforehand. Once they entered, there would be no way to see anything strange from afar. Moreover, this place was filled with such bushes. Unless the target was confirmed, if I wanted to search one by one, I might not be able to complete it even in ten days.
He put away Tao Tao and carefully sneaked in. The knowledge he had learned in the Dark Forest came in handy again. He hid himself and was finally not discovered by the Single-horned White Rhinoceros. He slowly approached their hiding place.
The female rhinoceros was lying in the grass under a shrub, motionless. It looked like she was about to give birth. The dozen or so single-horned white rhinoceroses in charge of guarding the area were vigilantly scattered around. They would look around from time to time, so I didn't dare to get too close. I could only hide behind a shrub and observe from a distance.
It was said that laying a pet egg was not a simple matter. The process usually took six to eight hours, and then the mother would hatch at the side. A baby would be born in about three to five days. Moreover, the herd would slowly approach this place during the incubation period. No one knew when they would arrive nearby and then move around this area. If there was any danger, they would be able to provide support at any time. There were large and small beasts all over the place. Outsiders could not guess which beast was responsible for guarding the pet egg. Naturally, they had no way to start, so they could only rely on luck to blindly search.
After such a long period of intense chasing, my energy was almost squeezed out. Moreover, the time limit for me to come online today was almost up. Anyway, my target had already been determined. The pet egg would only be born in a few hours. Since I had nothing to do now, I would go offline to rest for a while. I would come back to fight after recuperating.
When he went online again, the pet egg had already been born. It was an oval white egg with a diameter of about one meter. The female rhinoceros was hatching next to it. The dozen or so single-horned white rhinoceroses were still in one area, surrounding the nest in the center and dutifully guarding it.
I first carefully surveyed the surroundings of the bushes. Fortunately, I didn't discover the existence of other players. Otherwise, in a situation where neither of us was willing to give up, according to Wind's rule of the game where the strong won, my hands would inevitably be stained with the blood of the players.
Now that the rhinoceros horde had yet to arrive, it was my best chance to strike. However, to be on the safe side, I endured for nearly an hour and summoned Old Zombie and over 400 zombies to surround the dozen or so Single-Horned White Rhinoceroses. When the time came, we would kill our way out together and try to end the battle as quickly as possible to prevent any trouble from happening. Who knew if there were any player teams nearby? If someone wanted to take advantage of the situation when I was at a loss with the Single-Horned White Rhinoceroses, wouldn't it cause trouble?
Faced with the sudden attack, the Horned White Rhinoceros did not panic. It quickly retracted its defensive circle and tightly protected the female rhinoceros that was hatching. Their performance was indeed very strong. Normal zombies were sent flying the moment they came into contact with them. The difference in strength was too great. Fortunately, they had their own responsibilities and were in the bushes, so they couldn't fully unleash their strength. If they had wanted to break out of the encirclement, these zombies wouldn't have been able to trap them. I was secretly glad that I hadn't blindly and arrogantly chosen to attack the rhinos. If hundreds of rhinos attacked, even if there were several times more zombies, they would still have been scattered. They were utterly defeated.
The advantage in numbers was most obvious in a tough battle. There was no need to think too much about the disadvantage in speed. I could attack with all my might. No matter how fierce the Horned White Rhinoceros was, with dozens of zombies against one, the only thing waiting for them was defeat. In the end, the female Rhinoceros died under the claws of the old zombie. The pet egg of the Horned White Rhinoceros finally belonged to me.
