Wilderness Redemption Tour

Following the instructions for the mission location on the map, Lin Yan and Sadie arrived at Larnder Pasture and saw the "zebra" leisurely grazing under the shade of a tree without much searching.

Although Lin Yan had only seen real zebras on TV, zebras were called "horses" after all, so even if they were slightly different from the horse he rode, they should be roughly the same. But the animal in front of him, which Margaret called "magic zebra", was something Lin Yan could not associate with the horse under his crotch.

"Pfft!" After seeing the full appearance of the animal, Sadie burst out laughing.

"This is not a zebra, it's clearly a mule!"

Mule? Lin Yan was surprised to hear Sadie's name for the animal.

I thought it was a donkey. Luckily I didn't say anything, or I would have been laughed at again...

The mule, which was painted with black and white stripes to act like a zebra, kicked its feet a few times when it saw someone approaching, and then ran away. Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly away, how could Lin Yan let it escape, and hurriedly rode his horse to catch up.

The mule didn't run very fast at first, and even looked back after running a few steps, as if to confirm whether the two annoying guys behind it had left. When it found that the two annoying guys behind it not only did not leave, but caught up with it, it felt like it was facing a formidable enemy, and ran at full speed.

"Hey, little brat, you still want to compete with the horse in speed? Let me see how fast you can run." Seeing it speed up, Lin Yan was not in a hurry to catch it. He just hung behind it and ran around the grassland again and again.

In the second lap, Sadie was the first to quit the race, which she thought was a bit boring. The spotted mule running in the front noticed that one of the guys behind it had given up, so it spread its four hooves and ran even more happily.

One lap, two laps, three laps...the man and the mule ran tirelessly for nearly an hour. The mule's speed also changed from running at full speed at the beginning to panting and moving at a snail's pace now.

After Lin Yan controlled the horse to align with it, he waited for the right moment to stand up and jump onto its back, taming it effortlessly.

"Look, what do you think of my new mount?" Lin Yan rode the cool mount to Sadie, who was almost falling asleep while waiting, and asked with a smile on his face and a proud look.

"Ha..." Sadie yawned and commented sleepily: "Two idiots..."

Lin Yan was in high spirits and didn't care much about Sadie's comments. He rode on the mule's back and staggered back to Margaret's carriage.

When he came back here again, the two overturned carriages had been straightened. In addition, Margaret had built a small camp here and made a bonfire. At this moment, he was sitting by the bonfire and drinking tea leisurely.

The "zebra" under Lin Yan's crotch saw its master again and cried out in grievance.

When Margaret heard the familiar voice, she immediately dropped the teacup and ran towards Lin Yan.

"Oh my goodness! You really found it, my amazing zebra!"

"You, the zebra, can't run even faster than my horse." Lin Yan jumped off the mule and made a joke.

Margaret stepped forward, grabbed the reins, and touched the "zebra's" head affectionately, saying, "You don't understand this. This is a magic trick, a visual technique that confuses the senses and confuses cognition. There is a sufficient distance between the stage where we perform and the audience, plus some lighting effects. In the eyes of those audiences, it is a zebra, and I am a woman."

"Now, as long as you help me find the tiger, you can get my reward. Do your best, I promise your efforts will be worth it." After putting the "zebra" in the cage, Margaret pointed in a direction again and said, "My assistant just found the lion, and then took the lion to Kalijia Road to look for the tiger's trace. I think it won't be difficult for you to find the tiger with your help."

"Okay." Lin Yan turned around, waved goodbye to him and said, "Then I'll go and see what your so-called 'lion' and 'tiger' are."

Following the instructions on the map, Lin Yan took Sadie to the fork in Kaliga Road and found the assistant Margaret mentioned.

When Lin Yan found her, she was standing on the seat of the carriage and looking around, as if she was looking for something. At the same time, she kept calling a name "Dahua...Dahua..."

"Hello, ma'am." Lin Yan walked over and greeted, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Margaret's assistant?"

"Margaret?" The woman hesitated for a moment after hearing the name, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, I am. Are you the helpers he found?"

Lin Yan walked around the carriage, wanting to see what the 'lion' she brought was, and replied, "I guess so... Margaret told me that you brought the 'lion' to look for the 'tiger'. What's the situation now? Where is the 'lion'?"

"I set it free to find the tiger, the two of them got along really well at the circus, and then... well... as you can see, it disappeared."

"We just helped Margaret find the 'magic zebra' he mentioned, so what is this 'lion' from Timbuktu?"

The female assistant touched her cheek and said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, the King comes from Valentine, and is a...dog. But we dressed it up to look like a lion, a smaller one. Under certain lighting, it is enough to be mistaken for a real one."

"I see." Hearing the answer, Lin Yan smiled and nodded, "Which direction did it go just now?"

"Over there, behind the bushes over there." The female assistant said, pointing to the weeds not far away.

"Ah, that's not far. It's no use just waiting here, why don't we go over and take a look together?"

"No problem." The female assistant agreed readily.

Leading Lin Yan and Sadie to the edge of a bush, the female assistant stopped and said, "My lord, it went in from here."

Lin Yan had previously drawn a basic tracking skill, and with the keen observation brought by this skill, he quickly noticed a series of shallow claw marks on the ground. Although the claw marks were shallow, they were very clear, and it was obvious that an animal had just passed by.

Not long after following the paw prints, Lin Yan suddenly discovered scattered bloodstains on the ground, as well as a series of paw prints that did not belong to a dog.

"Oh my God... Why is there blood here? Could it be that..." The female assistant covered her mouth in disbelief when she saw the blood and thought of some bad outcome.

With the bloodstains, Lin Yan's tracking became easier. After walking another thirty or forty meters, as the bloodstains on the ground gradually increased, a large dog with shaved hair appeared in the sight of the three people.
