A Core Ship From The Start
Chapter 500 - Chapter 500 Chapter 374 Hunting _1

Chapter 500: Chapter 374 Hunting? _1 Chapter 500: Chapter 374 Hunting? _1 In fact, if it were just about racing, it wouldn’t be hard for Duanmu Huai. After all, without other rules, he could just pounce on his opposition at the start of the race, tie them up, and then stroll to the finish line without a problem.

Needless to say, Duanmu Huai’s fighting power remains potent here, and a flock of Horse Maidens charging him wouldn’t be a match for him.

But… the problem lies in what happens afterward.

After all, the combat is only a means to an end, with the goal being to make the monster girls obedient, just like the Snow Woman before. Seeing Duanmu Huai scared her so much, she was just short of exposing her belly to express her friendliness, and as a result, Duanmu Huai spent half the day and still couldn’t get through to her.

“So… are there any rules?”

Duanmu Huai decided to ask clearly first, then consider his options.

“Yep.”

In response to Duanmu Huai’s question, the Horse Maiden nodded her head.

“1200 meters, 1500 meters, 1700 meters, 2000 meters, 2500 meters, 3000 meters, you can choose freely, the first one to the finish line wins. Of course, you can use any means, as long as it does not hinder the other participants.”

“……”

Damn, these are Horse Maidens alright, even their races start at 1000 meters……

“Let me think.”

Hearing the Horse Maiden’s introduction, Duanmu Huai nodded, then walked to the side, looking at the grassland in front of him and began to ponder.

Although it may sound unflattering, Duanmu Huai himself isn’t fast. After all, he’s quite a large figure with little agility. Without his Power Armor and jetpack, his speed is just average. Of course, he’s definitely faster than a human, as he has the added strength of the Shadow Crow Guard. But besides that…

Seems like there aren’t any acceleration-type magic in the Magic. Most are attack and defense based.

As for the Electromagnetic Giant Rhino… could the Electromagnetic Giant Rhino outrun the Horse Maiden?

If Duanmu Huai remembered correctly, the Electromagnetic Giant Rhino was more like a heavyweight tank, not meant for speed. Its main function is to charge at the enemy.

“All in all, let’s just try it first.”

Duanmu Huai made a decision, came to the Horse Maiden, and explained the situation. The Horse Maiden seemed indifferent to Duanmu Huai summoning other things to race with the Horse Maidens. So in the end, to be safe, Duanmu Huai chose a 2000-meter race. He then came to the starting line, standing side by side with a group of Horse Maidens. These Horse Maidens seemed quite interested in this enormous figure, often glancing towards this side, sizing up Duanmu Huai and the Electromagnetic Giant Rhino beneath him.

“Well then, let the race… begin!”

With the Horse Maiden’s voice signaling the start, Duanmu Huai saw the Horse Maiden girls next to him suddenly start and rushed forward quickly!

“Damn!”

Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai was taken aback. Though he had guessed the Horse Maidens would be quick, he didn’t expect them to be that quick! He hadn’t even reacted, and they already had left him in the dust!

This cannot do!

With that, Duanmu Huai quickly manipulated the Electromagnetic Giant Rhino, making large strides to sprint forward, trying to keep up with the pace of the Horse Maidens.

The result…… yup, he lost.

How to put it…… compared to the Horse Maidens, Duanmu Huai’s Electromagnetic Giant Rhino was like a wild boar in full flight.

Well, wild boars are not slow, but when compared to horses…… it’s a whole different story.

“These Horse Maidens are harder to deal with than horses…”

After a round of trial, Duanmu Huai couldn’t help but exclaim. He discovered that these Horse Maidens even run faster than horses. Thinking about it clearly, this is quite normal. After all, horses are larger and consequently face stronger wind resistance. But these Horse Maidens are petite girls with much smaller wind resistance area than horses, so even when compared directly to horses, the Horse Maidens definitely run faster… of course, horses have four legs, but having four legs doesn’t necessarily guarantee a win…

The Electromagnetic Giant Rhino also has four legs, yet it was the last one.

No other option, seems he has to pit magic against magic, and animal against animal.

Duanmu Huai once again quietly pulled out the Soul Card. Since the magic from Manaria couldn’t handle this scenario, he had to see if the animals from the Borderland Forest could help… like the Tree-antlered Reindeer he had summoned on the Terminator Planet – could it keep up? It probably can’t– after all, are deers as fast as horses?

It should not be possible, after all, there are horse races in the world but no deer races, which says a lot.

Regrettably, there are no horses in his cards either, which is quite normal. Horses don’t usually inhabit forests.

So the remaining choice is…

“Err………”

Duanmu Huai looked at the card in his hand, and silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

[Progenitor Giant Wolf. Omnis (legendary)]

[Cost: 7]

[Attack: 4]

[Defense: 5]

[(Rush) Whenever the Giant Wolf enters your side of the battlefield, give it the ‘Rush’ effect.]

[Enter the battlefield: Make X cards from your battlefield return to your hand, summon X Giant Wolves (X is the number of cards leaving the battlefield due to this ability).]

[Its footprints mark the sprouting of the earth, its howls mean life continues]

Wolves… as he recalls, wolves can run fairly fast too, can’t they? And this Giant Wolf has a large body, that should work, right?

But… it won’t treat these Horse Maidens as prey and eat them, will it?

It shouldn’t, right…

Well, there is only one way to find out.

Duanmu Huai silently took out his card. With a flash of light, a white Giant Wolf about the size of an Electromagnetic Giant Rhino appeared before him.
