Chapter 627: Chapter 4: The Shock of the Military Minister of Agriculture Brought by Mr. Zhao (15,000) _8

"Found it." Zhao Xing, after holding his breath for the tenth time behind the clouds, found the target.

He sensed someone writing cloud symbols on his cloud layer. With just three cloud symbols, the Minister of Agriculture could accurately pinpoint the other party’s location.

"Found it?!" Tao Anchun was elated, "Where?"

"Look." Zhao Xing pointed.

In the sky, three arrows appeared among the clouds, saving Tao Anchun the trouble of asking further.

Zhao Xing’s cloud symbol guidance was as precise as navigation; even a fool couldn’t go wrong.

....

With navigation, the next steps were much easier.

The flying boat carried the two of them and found Ling Ruoxue after two quarters.

"Wheee~ Wheee~"

When Zhao Xing and Tao Anchun arrived at an unnamed lake, there were hundreds of winged horses flying in the sky.

On the ground at the lake, there were also thousands of horses galloping.

Everywhere, both in the sky and on the ground, were colorful horses.

Ling Ruoxue and Cao Jiang stood outside the herd, continuously calling "Naga."

"Naga is the name of the Heavenly Horse King," Tao Anchun explained.

"Oh, it’s the only seventh-rank Heavenly Horse?"

"Yes." Tao Anchun looked around, "I don’t know where she went; I don’t see her."

"She should be there." Zhao Xing pointed to a hill. "She seems to have evolved."

"Hmm? Evolved?" Tao Anchun looked over but could only see a vague shadow.

However, Zhao Xing’s words were soon confirmed.

When they reached the herd, Ling Ruoxue excitedly jumped onto the flying boat, shouting, "Uncle Tao, it’s Naga! Naga has advanced!"

Ling Ruoxue held a Heavenly Horse Order from Tuquan Palace of secondary seventh rank, though she seemed very young.

"Ruoxue, this is the newly-arrived Mr. Zhao," Tao Anchun said, "You haven’t met before, but I mentioned him to you."

"Oh, Uncle Zhao."

Ling Ruoxue’s sweet voice nearly made Zhao Xing spurt out old blood.

What on earth had made him suddenly become Uncle Zhao?

"Ruoxue, show some respect," Tao Anchun said, stifling a laugh, "Mr. Zhao is only twenty-four, younger than you."

"Ah?" Ling Ruoxue looked doubtful, "Then I’m not the youngest in the Dragon Horse Guard anymore?"

Tao Anchun couldn’t help but have a headache; this naive girl’s focus was always so peculiar.

Zhao Xing didn’t mind and smiled, saying, "Mr. Ling, we can talk about other things later. Tell us the situation first."

"Oh, oh." Ling Ruoxue became excited again, "Here’s what happened: I was planning to take Naga and the others back, but then..."

Through Ling Ruoxue’s chattering, Zhao Xing finally understood why they had not returned sooner.

The Horse King Naga had encountered a herd of Fire Fierce Horses from Land Island during a free run that day.

Fire Fierce Horses were wild horses roaming in the wild.

After years of free-ranging, they had always lived in underground caves without being discovered.

They had also escaped the breeding plan of the previous aggressive Minister of Agriculture.

Unknowingly, over two hundred Fire Fierce Horses had been born!

Among these more than two hundred Fire Fierce Horses, a seventh-rank Fire Fierce Horse King had also been born.

In the same place, there could not be two kings.

When Naga discovered the Fire Fierce Horse King during the free run, the other party discovered her as well.

Thus, the two horse kings led their herds into battle.

Moreover, the Fire Fierce Horse King had recently broken through to the sixth rank.

The Heavenly Pegasus Naga had a more noble bloodline than the Fire Fierce Horse.

Even when it was seventh-rank against sixth-rank, she would never yield. Facing the challenge of the Fire Fierce Horse King, she broke away from Ling Ruoxue and Cao Jiang’s calls and chased after the Fire Fierce Horse King.

With the leading Horse King running off, the other Heavenly Pegasi followed suit.

Thus, by around 7 p.m., the two of them hadn’t returned and had instead pursued the Fire Fierce Horse herd deep into Land Island.

"Uncle Tao, Mr. Zhao, that Fire Fierce Horse King is so cunning. He pretended to be defeated and lured Naga in, intending to take her back as Mrs. Ma!"

"When Naga arrived, she realized she had been deceived. She then led the herd in a fierce fight, and in the battle, Naga also broke through to the sixth rank."

"This is indeed a great discovery," Tao Anchun said, delighted, "The Fire Palace has been sealed for five years; I thought they had completely disappeared."

"Yeah, we’re really lucky." Ling Ruoxue laughed cheerfully, "Mr. Zhao is also lucky, encountering such a good thing right after arriving."

Zhao Xing also chuckled. Ling Ruoxue’s compliment wasn’t wrong.

His fortune of deriving the five elements likely had something to do with the birth of these two sixth-rank horses.

"However, now Naga has started fighting with the Fire Fierce Horse again and isn’t listening to us." Ling Ruoxue frowned, "Uncle Cao and I couldn’t call her back or subdue that Fire Fierce Horse. Uncle Tao, please go and bring Naga back. Otherwise, I’m afraid the herd might suffer casualties."

"Alright." Tao Anchun nodded and immediately flew towards Naga’s direction.

"Naga! Come back!"

Tao Anchun’s speed wasn’t slow. After closing the distance, he quickly saw the figure of the Heavenly Pegasus Naga.

It was a pure blue Heavenly Pegasus with blue wings, though her tail still had some mixed colors.

She had just completed her advancement, and a faint glow emanated from her body.

Her hooves exuded blue wind, and she raised her wings high, shooting feathers at the Fire Fierce Horse King.

"Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoo-shoo-shoo-shoo~"

Numerous feathers, like sharp arrows, tore through the air, their speed nearly impossible to capture, aided by the power of Wind Walk.

"Sss-sss-sss~" The Fire Fierce Horse King raised his head and jumped, the mane on his body igniting into flames, instantly burning all the blue feathers to ashes.

Then he flicked his tail and spat a mouthful of fire at the Heavenly Pegasus.
