Augustus Under the Horseshoe

Chapter 1 : Half man and half horse

The biting cold wind, with thick silver-gray clouds, covered the sky over the northern shore of the Black Sea in October. Between the cows and sheep and the pastures on which they depend, white frost and snow, which symbolize cold and death, fell, covering everything in the world with a pale funeral garment.

A few hungry vultures hovered desperately above the dim sky, trying to find some frozen corpses to deal with the severe winter that suddenly fell during the autumn harvest.

Suddenly, they found their target! On the white snow, lies a strong white horse. It has an elegant posture and a handsome posture. Its strong muscles form a nearly perfect silver curve on the horse. Its slender and powerful limbs also contain explosive terrorist power.

After discovering the prey, the vultures uttered excitement and fluttered their black wings, rushing to fly to the white horse empty—just too far away and did not pay attention, only when they got closer, they discovered that this white steed did not have a neck. Instead, It is a human adult male, with an unworn upper body, just like this silver-clad world, showing a sickly pale face. The pale silver shawl and long hair half covered a handsome and elegant face.

The vultures hovered over the half-man, half-horse monster. Cautiously judging the life and death of the other party, at this time, a little vulture could not survive the hunger, and recklessly lowered his poor scrawny body, two brown claws, and fell heavily on the left arm of the human body.

“Ok?”

First, the noisy flapping of wings, and then the heavy touch from the left arm. A series of disturbances finally made Liu Yuan wake up in this terrifying winter. The pale eyes and face slowly lifted upwards, in front of the cowardly eyes of the scavengers, revealing a pair of dark and terrifying night pupils like an abyss!

Finding that the behemoth hadn’t died, the poor vulture was frightened and yelled, flapping its wings quickly, and flew back to the silver-gray sky covered by clouds. Following his companion, regretfully left Liu Yuan’s side. Only a few loose, shedding black wing feathers were left, whirled gently in the cold wind, and slowly fell on the white body of the centaur.

“What’s the situation? Vulture? Snowfield? Where’s my clothes? What happened!?” Liu Yuan looked suspiciously at the snow-covered grassland surrounded by silver, beautiful but hidden with death. The bitter cold wind was like a knife, and it hurt my skin. The terrible low temperature quickly deprived his body of heat. Centaur couldn’t help but hugged his upper body, which was constantly trembling because of the cold, and tremblingly recalled what happened before he fell asleep:

He is one of the top riders on the planet. It has a long-standing reputation in various horse races. Just riding his favorite horse: Sukhba. Practicing riding on the vast eastern European prairie in Ukraine, preparing for the horse racing event that will be held in Kiev a week later. Ah, speaking of my love Masuhba. He is a tall and sturdy Arabian hybrid horse. The hair all over his body was as pale as ice, and as soft as silk. But when I was riding a horse, my eyes suddenly went dark. Then, he woke up on this snow-covered grassland…

“Wait, where’s my horse?!”

This was Liu Yuan’s first reaction.

Although he has been together for less than three years, Liu Yuan, who has a certain social aversion, has already regarded this Arabian white horse raised by him as a friend or even a child.

Thinking of this, he ignored the severe cold that could almost freeze the blood, and quickly got up to look for his beloved horse.

“Ok?”

Liu Yuan, who was trying to get up, suddenly felt that something extremely heavy was connected to his hips that made him unable to get up from the ground at all. Wait…Under the terrifying ice and snow, my lower body didn’t feel how cold. Moreover, when I first moved… I had two joints in my legs? ? ?

Liu Yuan, who felt something was wrong, slowly dropped his eyes.

I saw that under my abdominal muscles were no longer two strong thighs, but covered with white horse coats and two elegant and slender front hooves? The most important thing is that the **** between the legs is gone!

Gone? !

Before Liu Yuan could react from the horror. He felt the flesh and blood behind his ass. The centaur hurriedly turned his head to observe, and saw a horseback with a beautiful coat color like ice and snow, with elegant and healthy muscles.

But isn’t this especially Sukhba’s body?

WTF! How did I merge with Sukhba?

what is this? Centaur and half horse?

All kinds of messy information and subversive facts constantly bombarded Liu Yuan’s fragile brain and Sanguan. Among the pair of beautiful and deep eyes that looked like black gems, the tiny pupils even began to dilate and diminish. A large number of shocking facts that ordinary people could not accept almost made him faint!

“Click.”

Suddenly, Liu Yuan felt that his horse’s body seemed to be pressed against something hard. He stopped thinking about it, learning the way he had gotten up from his favorite horse, and with all four hoofs, he stood up anyway. Then turned around, slowly knelt down the two slender front legs, and lowered the height of the body. Let your hands touch the yellow grass covered by ice and snow. I dug up the white and soft snow to see what it was that I was hurting.

Soon, under Liu Yuan’s hard work,

, The thing under his body gradually revealed its prototype: it was a human bone stained with blood. The pelvis is wide but low. It seems to be a human female. The poorly made woolen coat on her body was ripped out by some kind of sharp weapon with many cracks, and the bones were covered with grim marks of being bitten and licked. The top of the skull was covered with long golden hair with some black blood clots. The right cheekbone was carved with two rings with some kind of sharp edge. Between the double rings, there is also a sacred totem in the shape of a cross.

Seeing Liu Yuan, who was in a lot of wind and waves, of course was not scared by a mere skeleton. However, he found a more serious problem: this corpse was only buried in a shallow layer by the heavy snow. She is covered with thicker snow… This poor girl hasn’t died for long! Those brutal beasts that can leave such a hideous trace on hard bones are nearby! He is probably located in the hunting area of ​​a group of carnivores!

Thinking of this, the expression on Liu Yuan’s face instantly solidified. For a while, all the philosophical thinking about “Who am I, where I am, what I am doing.” Philosophy is such a shit!

I have to get out of here quickly!

“Sorry.” The centaur bowed sadly to the corpse. Then began to search for her equipment, and in the face of life safety, the disrespectful act of desecrating the deceased became meaningless. Before long, Liu Yuan pulled out a storage bag from the corpse. A skinned wooden shield covered with claw marks, five short spears with a length of about 160 cm in a bag of animal skins, and a sharp piece of stone tied to the top?

Damn it, stone spear tip? The original fur coat? And this savage environment… Could it be that he traveled through and came to a primitive and savage Stone Age? ? ?

Liu Yuan felt a bit cold in his heart, but as he continued to search the corpse’s hands, a well-made iron dagger overturned his temporary argument full of pessimism. The dagger is 60cm long and has blades on both sides, probably to increase weight and power. The spine of the sword is very wide and thick. The sword face is also neatly carved with four sacred Latin characters.

SPQR

“The Senate and the Roman people???” The clue +1, but Liu Yuan’s mind is also confused +1.

However, there is no more time to think about issues other than life-saving. So he inserted the Roman dagger back into the scabbard and tied it to his waist together with the girl’s leather belt. Then he straddled the bag of short spears diagonally across his back. With his right hand drew a short spear to defend himself, his left hand picked up the heavily damaged skin wooden shield. The entire talent is considered armed.

“call-”

Another biting cold wind blew Liu Yuan’s naked body. Frozen, he quickly picked up the battered sheepskin cover and tightly wrapped his upper body without hair protection. If possible, he also wants to give himself a pair of pants for his **** between his hind legs. Although it’s not cold…but being blown by the cold wind is still extremely awkward and uncomfortable, but he has enough hands! Do not! To!

“Oh…Forget it, let him go. It’s already the case anyway, look forward, look forward.” Liu Yuan sighed, learning the posture of the horses in his memory, and started walking and running again. jump. While Sukhba’s flesh and blood merged with himself, his soul and memory seemed to be combined with his own soul. Before long, a pale white horse, graceful and vigorous like a ghost, turned into a silvery gust of wind on this snow-covered grassland! The scenery on both sides disappeared behind my ears in the blink of an eye.

“So cool! This is the legendary unity of man and horse?”

Liu Yuan felt a little excited while running. He touched his stomach and decided to find something to eat for himself first.

As for what to eat, it can’t be grass anyway.
