Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2)

At first, I thought he had done it solely to mess with me, but—

He had provoked a Flame Horse that, even at a glance, looked anything but ordinary.

“Ukkiaaaak!”

Thanks to the legendary troll known as Lackey, things went wrong from the very beginning.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

A place where even raccoons were extraordinary and gorillas possessed intelligence comparable to humans.

What kind of place was the Forest of Four Seasons?

“Hihiiiiihiiiing!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Wild horses also live in herds.

Naturally, they must follow established rules, so they possess strong social intelligence.

And horses, even in the world where I lived, were extremely intelligent animals.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

And what happens when an already intelligent animal ends up living in the Forest of Four Seasons?

That’s right.

We already knew that all too well.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Fwoooosh!

This horse had far more common sense and situational awareness than anyone would imagine.

The flames that came out of the Flame Horse’s mouth were not directed at me.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

I didn’t know whether it understood my innocence(?) or had simply caught the culprit red-handed.

The Flame Horse focused exclusively on him.

Unable to even use mana, Lackey could barely dodge, much less counterattack.

They were aimed at Lackey.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Thanks to that, I was comfortably watching from a distance.

“Kiriiing.”

The heat was intense, but not unbearable.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Now I understood why.

I had been wondering why they reacted so aggressively toward Wonmo.

Meanwhile, I was also feeding the Flame Horse’s foals.

“Here. aspect This is tasty. palette Eat.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Their eyes and manes only flickered like small embers.

Their flames were nowhere near as large as their mother’s.

And a foal was still a foal.

There were foals inside the cave.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

“Uaaak! alien Kuaaak! antenna Kkueeeek!”

“Wow. acquire This is really going well.”

And started spinning him around in circles.

After a long chase, the Flame Horse finally bit Lackey.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

After playing with him for a while, it eventually threw him into the distance.

His white fur had been completely scorched black.

Lackey was quite large himself, but it seemed the horse’s bite force was extraordinary.

Still, seeing that he occasionally twitched, he seemed to be alive.

He had probably thought that if I got into trouble, I would eventually beg him to let me remove his inhibitor.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

He knew that Sloth was our group’s ultimate weapon.

It was also obvious that he had carefully calculated the situation regarding Sloth.

Considering the strength of that Flame Horse, it wasn’t an unreasonable idea.

Lackey knew.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

The trump card that only appeared at the very end.

He had seen me training.

‘Did he realize it when I asked him to teach me martial arts?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

He had fallen into his own trap.

But one thing was clear.

He probably started scheming from then on.

I didn’t know what kind of reasoning led him to decide to provoke another creature.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

It seemed to have vented its anger already.

‘Idiot.’

I mocked Lackey internally while carefully observing the Flame Horse.

It returned to its foals.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

“Get out of here.”

Then it glanced at me from the corner of its eye and tilted its head as if saying.

Since I had never intended to fight, I obediently backed away.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

After all, we were the ones at fault.

“Kyuuueeeng! voyage Kyueeng!”

“Kkuiiiing!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

While the mother calmed her foals, I approached Lackey.

And yet they already seemed attached to me.

When I started leaving, the foals began crying miserably.

I had only given them a few fasting pills that I carried as emergency rations and patted them a couple of times.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

To make matters worse, smoke was even coming out of his mouth.

He looked half-dead.

His mouth was slightly open.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

The funny thing was that he had protected the glasses until the very end.

‘But he managed to save the glasses.’

‘It’s a shame to waste the elixir, but…’

He must have really cherished his new eyes.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Only half a bottle.

I gave him the elixir.

I had no choice.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Healing the serious injuries was enough.

Using a whole one would be too wasteful.

Crackle!

Besides, I didn’t care much about the state of his fur.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

The inhibitor activated immediately.

I struck his arm hard with my palm.

But healing him and letting him go unpunished were two very different things.

“Uoooooong!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Lackey writhed violently.

The electric shock seemed even more painful than the flames.

“We’ll talk when we get home.”

Given the situation, instead of insulting him, I only said one thing.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

“……”

Or rather, he couldn’t respond. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

No matter how much he insulted me, he was still officially my slave.

Lackey didn’t respond.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

I needed to think more carefully about what to do with Lackey.

I needed to take this matter much more seriously.

And what happened today had put my own safety at risk.

I had changed my mind.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Carrots were important.

Even if it was a bit harsh on him.

A more effective one.

Maybe I needed a more efficient method.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Tap. academy Tap.

But you also needed the stick.

I was finishing organizing my thoughts when I felt small taps on the back of my neck.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Swoosh.

Sloth pointed at his own chest with his claws.

It was Sloth, riding on my back.

I turned to see what he wanted.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

No matter how well he could speak, there had to be some kind of special understanding between beasts.

He seemed to be telling me to let him handle Lackey.

And since Sloth had stepped forward on his own initiative, maybe it wasn’t a bad idea to leave Lackey in his hands.

As I had mentioned before, Lackey was still an animal.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Right now, even I had to watch my behavior whenever I ran out of fasting pills.

He might look like a lazy bum who spent all day lying around.

And besides, I owed him my life several times over.

‘After all, he’s the one who holds the highest position within the group.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

“Kkuiiiiiiik!”

But when it mattered, he delivered.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

First, I needed to finish the exploration.

“Wow. legend Do only fire-attribute beasts live in this area?”

I watched in amazement at a boar whose mane burned with flames instead of hair.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

I guess I could call it a Fire Boar.

Now I fully understood why this entire region had turned gray.

A boar and fire together?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

“It’s hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!!!”

Other than that, it had a shitty personality.

“Kkuiiiiiiiik!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Even if I couldn’t absorb all the damage, reducing it even a little was enough.

I barely managed to dodge the boar’s attack as it spat fire from its mouth.

So I responded by covering my entire body with aura. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

Even if I blocked something like that with a shield, I would still end up burned by the flames.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

A warning that clearly said.

“Kkuiiiiiiik!!!”

The boar blasted fire from its nostrils while scraping the ground with its front hooves.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Watching it run while engulfed in flames created an overwhelming sense of pressure.

And just as it warned, it charged straight at me.

“I’m going to charge you.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Swoosh—

What kind of sword was I holding?

But that was its mistake.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

The boar cleanly passed through the position of Heavenly Demon’s sword and immediately fell to the ground.

I simply placed the sword in the path the boar was running along.

However, because of the ice, it was simply frozen solid.

Normally, it would have ended up split in two.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

I stored the corpse inside the dimensional backpack.

I decided tonight’s menu would be boar.

‘I won’t even have to worry about it rotting.’

It was as if the ice had acted like glue, holding the separated surfaces together.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

And on the return trip, I didn’t encounter any other beasts.

“Kkyuiiiing!”

Then I headed back.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

The problem was the Flame Horse’s foals, who wouldn’t stop following me.

I didn’t know whether they wanted more fasting pills or simply wanted me to pet them.

“Kkyuhiiing! silence Kkyuhiiing!”

In the end, I managed to return them to their mother and went back to the shelter.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Besides, I had also given them fasting pills.

‘Come to think of it, didn’t they say animals like human contact because you scratch places they can’t reach themselves?’

They probably saw me as a kind, friendly uncle.

If that was the reason, I understood.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

If it were up to me, I’d try to tame them.

‘Even if I absorbed a fire-related essence, it probably wouldn’t help much.’

If I tried to ride them, I would probably end up burning alive.

But unfortunately, their manes were made of fire.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

After returning to the shelter, I started preparing dinner.

But that didn’t mean I had acquired resistance to cold.

I could control ice now.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

First, I had to butcher the boar that had been split in half and then frozen.

The tiger hadn’t been cut in half.

’…How am I supposed to butcher this?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

‘Even draining the blood is going to be difficult. altitude I’d better just eat the usable parts.’

The cut surfaces were only being held together because they were frozen.

In other words, the moment it thawed, the membranes containing the organs would disappear and everything inside would spill out.

But this one had.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

What a shame.

Though I didn’t even know whether pork belly was considered a special cut here.

I suddenly craved pork belly for the first time in a long while.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Title) I Caught a Boar

After spending some time thinking without finding a solution, I ended up making a post on the Gallery.

WildGrills

How do I butcher this? galaxy It got split in half and then frozen, so I need some advice.

(Photo of a boar split in half and frozen)

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

ㄴWildGrills) Honestly, I’ve really been craving it.

ㄴSwordmaster) I used to hunt and eat a lot of boar back when I was a knight. artist Those memories bring me back.

ㄴHeavenlyDemon) That looks like a fairly sturdy boar. absorb You’ll finally get to eat meat after a long time.

ㄴWildGrills) Did you eat snakes too?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

ㄴRemove the organs first, then drain the blood. academy Also cut its throat immediately.

ㄴWow… If it’s split in half, butchering it is going to be hell.

ㄴSwordmaster) Of course. matrix Back then I was hungry no matter what I ate.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

ㄴI think you’ll only be able to properly use the rib section.

ㄴStarlightPrincess) That boar looks a bit unusual. abandon Wasn’t it dangerous?

ㄴBoar meat tends to be tough, so try to eat the more tender cuts.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

ㄴStarlightPrincess) From your description, it sounds like a Fire Boar.

ㄴWildGrills) It had a mane that looked like fire, and it even breathed flames from its nostrils.

ㄴWildGrills) Is that a rare creature?

ㄴStarlightPrincess) It’s a beast fused with an element, so of course it’s rare. timber But aside from that, its overall anatomy isn’t very different from that of a normal boar.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

‘It’s already been split in half, so I can’t even get a whole hide. accent And collecting it is going to be difficult.’

She also explained that fire energy permeated its hide, making clothing crafted from it especially warm.

That was why the leather was highly valuable to people living in cold regions.

Still, I would do my best.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Then I ordered Lackey to throw them into the river.

Even if I didn’t end up selling it, I could always use it to prepare for winter.

After that, I carefully butchered the boar and placed the organs into a container.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

For a moment, I wondered if he had learned something from the Flame Horse incident.

Unlike before, he obeyed without complaining.

But—

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Once the butchering was finished, I ended up with a considerable amount of meat. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

I couldn’t let my guard down.

If I ever became attached to him, it would only be after I had completely subdued him.

‘No. legend He’s too cunning. action He might just be pretending to have improved.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

I always say this.

“Ahhh…”

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

And there was so much of it.

Meat never disappoints.

Fish is delicious too, but meat has a completely different level of color, aroma, and presence.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

For a while, we’d be having a genuine meat festival.

‘And now I can even preserve it frozen. canvas This is wonderful.’

Today I could afford to eat until I was full.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

I handed Wonmo a huge piece of meat.

Though we’d still eat fish from time to time.

He looked so excited that his eyes were sparkling.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

“Is it good?”

“Kyuuu! afford Nom nom nom!”

“Wagu! armor Wagu! wizard Wagu!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

He ended up burying his entire face in the meat while eating.

I patted his head and told him to take his time.

“……”

“Do you want some too?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

He appeared to like them.

Only Lackey remained. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Even Sloth, who normally considered fasting pills sufficient, seemed attracted by the ribs and took a bite.

He chewed slowly and carefully.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

“Uu!”

All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com.

Just as I watched him with an incredulous expression—

I had no idea why he was making such a fuss just to get some meat.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Since he normally moved at an agonizingly slow pace, I couldn’t help being surprised.

Sloth shot forward at incredible speed and slapped him across the face.

Smack!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

His eyes were wide open, and his expression was one of complete confusion.

If I was surprised, how did Lackey feel after receiving the slap?

After hitting him, Sloth pointed alternately at the ribs and then at me.

“……”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

He seemed to be saying.

Wave— Wave—

It was obvious he hadn’t liked what Lackey did with the Flame Horse either.

“If you want to eat, show some respect first.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

And what could Lackey do in that situation?

And above all—

He even gestured for him to get lost.

He couldn’t escape because of the inhibitor.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Food was on the line.

He wasn’t actually going to die, but it was still a terrible punishment.

“……”

In nature, food is life itself.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

But what could he do?

He had brought it upon himself.

Every now and then he glanced at us.

Eventually, Lackey backed away with his head lowered.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

I only hoped he wouldn’t break emotionally and cause another problem.

‘By the way, why does this taste like barbecue? advance It’s amazing.’

I didn’t feel sorry for him either.

In any case, I ignored him and continued enjoying the delicious ribs.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Maybe because it came from a boar infused with fire energy.

Honestly, I was happy to be able to eat things like this for a while.

The meat had a genuine smoky flavor.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Bzzzzzzz—

Fortunately, I caught it before it could bite me.

Soon it landed on the back of my hand.

When I finished dinner and was cleaning up, an insect came buzzing over.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Summer was approaching.

‘Now that I think about it, I also need to get insect repellent.’

And with it would come the insects.

Otherwise, I might have ended up infected with some disease.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Insects and snakes were enemies that had to be eliminated without exception.

I bought insect repellent and applied it throughout the cave and shelter.

I also took measures against snakes while I was at it.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

The next morning.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!

And, as expected—

‘I wonder what will happen in summer. avalanche I just hope swarms of mosquitoes don’t show up.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

I was left speechless at the terrifying swarm of insects covering the outside of the cave.

What would have happened if I hadn’t applied the repellent?

A black mass so dense that it was impossible to see even an inch beyond it.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

Fortunately, I had also installed a protective tarp.

They would have entered the cave.

And feasted on my flesh.

’…Is this what they call a Dark Swarm or something?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

“Ukkiaaaak! absorb Aaaahhh!”

“Oh, right.”

At this rate, the Plague will show up soon too.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 165: Wild Horse (2) by Indra Translations.

I had forgotten.

He had slept outside.
