    Chapter 154: Crazy Racing, Competition in the Mountains and Swamps

    Next to the riding training ground on the north side, there is a very large area. This is what Fei Yin calls the cross-country competition ground.  This is a place specifically for adventurers to engage in mount racing. According to my later observations, this vast area should also be enchanted by a huge "dungeon", even though there are no less than a few hundred people participating here almost at any time.  In a racing competition, after participating, you will no longer be able to see anyone else except your opponents or teammates on the same field as you.

    Generally speaking, those who are interested in space like to call this place a "racetrack" or "racecourse" - but in fact we all know that there are only a few "horses" racing here, and more people will choose something like  Various exotic tigers and leopards or mutated chocobos, velociraptors and other animals competed.  Here you can choose two different competition methods. One is the individual competition. Each person only needs to pay twenty-five gold coins to participate in an individual name. A maximum of eight people can participate in a competition. After the competition, a player will be selected.  Among the top three fastest, the first place will be rewarded with one hundred gold coins, the second place will be awarded fifty gold coins, the third place will be awarded twenty gold coins, and the remaining thirty coins will be used as a competition venue.  Management fees are collected; the other is the team competition. Each team can send up to five people to participate. The entry fees range from one hundred, two hundred, five hundred and one thousand gold coins. Only two teams pay the same amount to participate.  Only teams with the highest fees can compete in the same field. The team whose members can reach the finish line first will win. The winning team will take away the loser's entry fee, and the competition field will also draw 5% of the competition fee.  bonus.

    I believe that the background of the owner of this cross-country competition venue must be extraordinary, because this place not only accepts adventurers from the Continental Alliance to participate in the competition, but also allows adventurers from the Doomsday Empire to participate - as we all know, the other end of the Onzekral Mountains is the Empire  territory, the group of evil alien invaders also captured mounts in this mountain range - and team competitions usually always occur between the alliance team and the empire team, thus giving this originally wholesome physical and mental  Sports activities and gambling activities that entertain the public add a strong political flavor, and this place becomes another battlefield to win glory for the country in addition to killing each other in the stalemate zone.

    In order to prevent every team race from turning into an endless massacre, the owner of the arena has spent a lot of money.  He didn't know how he cast a strange magic on this field. Under the influence of this powerful spell, every contestant could not take back his mount, and all combat skills except the mount's own skills were blocked.  It must be used in a non-riding state. At the same time, under the protection of this magic, no one will be harmed by any collision, fall or other accidents in the competition arena. This will naturally allow every contestant to focus on  It¡¯s about ¡°racing¡± rather than fighting each other.

    We chose the team competition because there were only five entries, so we had to exclude one person between Longbow Shooting the Sun and Xian Ge Yayi.  The mounts of these two people look completely unsuitable for racing competitions - the camel with a long bow and a sun-shooting "full-time four-hoof drive" only has two carrying skills, while the tortoise with a graceful song "I go and I go fast"  Although there is a "swimming" skill that can barely be considered a speed skill, its basic acceleration effect on land is only 60%.

    In the end, we chose to let Xiange Yayi participate.  The reason why Longbow Sunshot was excluded has little to do with his mount, but mainly because we felt that it was too much to let a dwarf who couldn't even see the road participate in a racing competition with us in such harsh terrain conditions.  It's dangerous.

    "Since Xian Ge Yayi's participation basically has no positive effect, our team is actually four against five, so each of us has no illusions about this game.  When Miss Feiyin thought of this, she stamped her feet and beat her chest in annoyance, regretting that she should not have suggested participating in the competition.  Under such circumstances, of course you can't expect her to spend a lot of money to participate in the competition - in fact, even if she only paid a hundred gold coins to pay the competition fee, our president would still be as reluctant to leave her daughter as the mother of her newly married daughter.  All he had to do was hold the dozen gold coins in his hands and cry loudly.

    After paying the entry fee, a person wears a set of armor that only covers half of his butt and half of his chest, which basically does not provide any protection. He wears a handle on his waist that is thicker than a toothpick and slightly thinner than a pen.  We were led into a hut by a female knight with a rapier that had no offensive effect and a long black rabbit-like earmuff on her head that had no purpose but made people feel silly.  There is a magic bulletin board in the middle of the hut that displays various terrains and maps. Since we entered this hut first, we have the right to choose one of the twenty competition maps.  Although these maps all have very different-sounding names such as "Lava Volcano", "Lake Nagas", and "Secret Forest Path", in factThese are comprehensive tracks with mountains, rivers, cliffs and dense forests, which are fair to competitors with any skill.

    Feiyin randomly selected a "random map" and we sat down and waited.  Not long after, a team from the Doomsday Empire also came to the room.  Ten people from both teams clicked the button to agree to participate on their respective seats. In an instant, we were enveloped in a whirlpool of milky white magic and were teleported out of the room.

    When the magic vortex dissipated, each of us summoned his own mount under the influence of the huge magic that enveloped the entire competition field. At this time, I found that we were teleported to a forest swamp.  In front of us is a huge oak arch. Two stout short goblins stand at both ends of the arch, pulling a rope tied with a red triangular flag straight.

    Another fat goblin with a top hat on his head stood further away from the arch. He was holding a firecracker that looked similar to an ordinary firecracker, but was short enough to hold with one hand.  Something with a thick, burning and smoking grass roll in its mouth - these underground residents who are keen to try all new things call this thing "cigar". To be honest, I really can't see how to use such a big bundle.  What's the point of rolling hay together with scraps of paper and putting it under your nose to burn out a thick smoke? - He shouted to us in a voice hoarse from the smoke:

    "I know that you both dislike each other, and here is an opportunity for you to show off. Although death is not allowed here, as far as I know, it is not bad to leave the other party far behind and eat dirt and drink cigarettes.  . As soon as my starting gun goes off, you can run. There is no supervision, no referee, no prescribed route, and no restrictions. The only rule here is: you can win by running faster than others! Listen clearly, I am counting down to three.  Count, then fire. Threebang!"

    He only shouted what he called "the last three numbers", and the short musket in his hand made a loud noise, and at the same time, flames shot out from the muzzle of the gun.  The goblins standing on both sides of the arch immediately threw the ropes in their hands to the ground and ran to both sides without looking back.  We all hesitated for a moment. After a while, the troll rider beside me and I reacted at the same time and rushed out of the arch at the lead.  The moment I rushed out of the arch, I heard the goblin holding the starting gun grumbling:

    "What the hell, why did this broken gun go off again"

    The troll who rushed out of the starting point with me was named "Ma Lu", and its mount was a flaming rhinoceros with red skin and a ferocious face, named "Rhino in Love".  As soon as he rushed out of the starting point, he used a sinister trick: while he was galloping, the rhino suddenly raised its thick hoof and stomped on the ground.  My horse was shaken by the earth and became unsteady, staggering, and its speed immediately slowed down.  He took the opportunity and rushed out with a whip.

    It seems that this rhino¡¯s skill is very similar to the tauren¡¯s racial trait ¡°War Trample¡±. It can not only slow down the enemy, but also knock the opponent off his mount.  Fortunately, my mountain snow has the "Tenacity" skill. Otherwise, although no one will drop the mount despite being protected by the magic on the field, they will also be affected by the corresponding immobilization effect.

    As soon as my speed slowed down, others behind me immediately overtook me.  Seeing that I had been plotted against, Niu Baiwan roared angrily, aimed at the troll in front of him, and activated his mount's "Crash" skill.  The bull under him immediately flew up and hit the rhinoceros in front of him on the butt.  The rhinoceros and his owner were immediately knocked aside, unable to move due to the impact.  Niu Wanwan took this opportunity to take the lead.

    In a moment, even Xian Ge Ya Yi was ahead of me.  He obviously understood that at his speed, it was meaningless to run along the avenue like others, so he quickly drove his turtle and turned sideways into the river channel - from the map, this  The waterway twists and turns eight or nine times, and has to go around a huge mountain in the middle. I don¡¯t know how many more paths we need to walk. We optimistically estimate that when some of us reach the end, the Elf Archer will be able to complete half of it.  The journey is pretty good.

    The avenue in front of the starting point is not very long. After running for less than a minute, we entered a wilderness.  At this time, everyone made different choices based on the differences in their mounts: Fei Yin rode her "money hug" and plunged into the deepest part of the jungle, where her mount's climbing skills could be maximized, and  She entered the jungle with a dark elf riding a thick two-headed snake; the Yangtze River urged his skinny donkey to run towards a rock, where I believe he will find a shortcut to the end, a piece of necromancy magic.  The master also made the same choice. His mount was a huge gray-brown lizard; a vampire priest rode a hellish nightmare with black body and red fire on its hooves and rushed into the deepest mud of the swamp.  ??;I was not in a hurry to change the route, because I found that there were quite a few cliffs at the fork in front of me.  Running with me on this relatively spacious forest road were the female elf trainer Yan Zhen, the troll who plotted against me just now (he had already fallen behind me), and a demon riding a skeleton horse.  ¡ª¡ªIn this fierce competition, all my energy is focused on the road ahead, and I have no time to distinguish the names of each opponent.

    Hey, it seems there is one person missing?

    By the way, where did Niu Wanwan, who was at the front, go?

    I suddenly thought of this road-crazy paladin¡¯s unbearable path-finding journey in the past, and my heart suddenly became cold. A very bad premonition immediately came to my mind.

    It wasn't until three minutes later when we were climbing up a mountain along a spiral road that I spotted Niu Baiwan's figure in a dense forest - to be precise, I didn't see his "figure", but  The names of him and his mount are so eye-catching that they cannot be stopped even deep in the dense forest.  I saw his shadowy figure trudging forward in the jungle. I also deeply admired the tenacity and noble sentiments of a paladin who is not afraid of dangers and perseverance, but this hard-working road idiot really lost all his good qualities.  Wrong place to use it - Judging from his route of action, there is no doubt that he is heading towards the starting point from which we came.

    At the beginning of the game, each of us had an extremely pessimistic attitude towards this game, but the saddest thing is that even so, we still found that our prediction was too optimistic-this is not a game.  In a four-on-five game, there are only three of us that can really be used.

    Climbing up this dirt mountain, I also deviated from the widest road and turned to a fork in the road.  The troll knight riding the "Rhinoceros of Love" behind him hesitated for a moment, then ran away along the road.  I estimate that this kind of mount with offensive skills will not be of much use in the racing arena and can only play some supporting role.  Once you throw it away so that it can no longer attack, it is no longer a threat at all.

    This fork in the road is much narrower than the one just now, and branches on both sides often grow in the middle of the road.  I lowered my helmet as hard as I could, lowered my body, and only used the peripheral vision above my eyes to focus on the road not far ahead, memorizing the terrain I saw on the magic map board.  Soon, there was a small turn to the right in front of me, and I was immediately frightened and adjusted my riding posture - I remembered that just before this turn, there was a cliff across the mountain stream.

    Just after the turn, a cliff appeared in front of us as expected.  I shook the reins suddenly, Shanxue hurriedly ran for two steps, stepped on the edge of the cliff and jumped into the air. A howling crosswind immediately passed through my ears.

    The moment I crossed over the cliff, I saw the Yangtze River Delta riding its donkey climbing hard on the rocks below.  Not far from him is the necromancer riding a lizard. Although the lizard is not good at climbing on fine rocks, it can firmly grasp the rocks with its thick and powerful claws and crawl slowly at an angle perpendicular to the ground.

    I guess the key to the problem lies in the choice of the road ahead in the Yangtze River Delta. If he can quickly find the donkey's foothold and choose a convenient road to move forward, it is entirely possible for him to run faster than the slow-moving lizard.  some.  But the situation now seems to be: he seems to be slightly behind his opponent.

    A violent jolt reminded me that I had crossed the cliff and entered the forest on the other side.  Following the path I planned in advance, I started to run down the hillside.  After a while, there was a "rustling" sound in the jungle behind me. After a while, I saw Fei Yin riding her "money hug" out from behind a big tree.  This beast moves among the thick branches of the forest with a lightness and agility that is incompatible with its size, like a dancing ghost.

    Just as I was congratulating myself that our president had taken the lead, a swift shadow passed over my head with a "swish" sound and swung straight to a huge tree in front of me.  This is the two-headed snake belonging to the dark elf. It wraps one end of its body around a branch and flies forward in the forest until the other end hooks onto another branch.  This method of advancement is not as smooth and uniform as Feiyin's woodland spotted leopard, but the speed of each swing is very fast.

    The two of them took the lead alternately and soon left me behind - this is normal. It is impossible for my mountain snow in the forest to compare with the speed of these mounts who are familiar with the environment. My advantage lies in choosing the road correctly and then using it again and again.  Nice span over them.

    When I crossed three cliffs in a row, I finally came to the difficult second half of the journey: in front of me was a huge mountain towering into the clouds, with many winding roads winding around the mountain.  If you don't plan to climb up the mountain, you can pass in a big arc along the foot of the mountain - the sameIt's a ridiculously long road.  Our end point is behind this mountain. Whoever passes the mountain first will have half the chance of winning.

    I didn¡¯t hesitate and turned my horse to go around from the right side.  The vampire riding the nightmare walked out of a swamp almost at the same time, going around to the left side of the mountain. Obviously, the skill of this nightmare beast can weaken the constraints of the swamp on the movement of creatures, so he was able to get out of the swamp in the shortest time.  Pass through this most difficult but shortest straight road.

    Except for Niu Million Chord Ge Yayi, others soon appeared one after another. Most of them chose to go around like me. Only the Yangtze River Delta, the Wild Goose Formation and the demon riding the skeleton horse rushed straight towards the mountain.  .

    It¡¯s not surprising to me that Yangjia chose to climb the peak. His mount¡¯s rock-climbing skills allow him to find a shortcut on steep mountain roads, while the lizard¡¯s crawling skills are too slow and can only pass through a path that can significantly shorten the distance.  Shortcuts only make sense, and they are useless facing such a tall mountain.  But I don¡¯t understand why Yan Zhen and the demon riding the skeleton horse chose to go up the mountain. At this point, I suddenly remembered that at that time, it seemed that we were only attracted by the cute appearance of Yan Zhen¡¯s little wild boar, but no one asked about it.  What skills do you have?

    The Yangtze River Delta's "250cc twin-cylinder four-stroke" shows its strong power in the mountains and rocks. With rock climbing skills, it does not need to go along the curved spiral road. It spends more time looking for ways to get out of the mountains.  The mountain road on the next level is a shortcut that leads directly to the mountain road on the previous level.  Sometimes I really worry about how long it can support the bloated body of the Yangtze River Delta - in my opinion, it is a huge miracle that it just sat under the Yangtze River Delta's butt and did not get crushed to death.

    When I walked around to the side of the mountain peak, I was halfway down the Yangtze River Delta downhill slope.  In my opinion, he has indeed achieved a considerable lead, and the goddess of victory is already waving and smiling at us.

    At this time, Yanzhen's "Pig Dudu" finally climbed to the top of the mountain. Just when I was imagining how it rolled down the top of the mountain dragging its plump body, it suddenly climbed up a piece of rock sticking out of the top of the mountain.  Giant rock, jump

    "That's ridiculous! This pig can actually fly?"

    The one who exclaimed was the necromancer riding a lizard. It was only then that I saw clearly that his name was "Boss Silika" and his mount was named "Talis" - to be honest, it was so beautiful to see such a beautiful person.  It is extremely uncoordinated to put a girl's name on such an ugly animal, but from the interactions with my spacewalker friends, I can also understand that sometimes some male creatures are not interested in "riding" some female creatures.  The lure of the move is always so irresistible that they rename some of the things they're riding when it's clear they can't pull it off.  They often call this behavior yy, and some soul magic books that I came into contact with because of the need to learn alchemy usually call this behavior "triggered by the collision of the individual's strong impulse of the principle of self-enjoyment and the principle of self-reality"  Psychological distortion is caused by the prolonged psychological weaning period under the influence of the irreconcilable contradiction between material abundance and ideological scarcity in the post-industrial era. The projection of unattainable desires is embodied in the mental function of the second object through empathy.  clinical manifestations of the disease."

    Okay, I think yy is easier to say

    ¡­¡­

    I don¡¯t want to discuss how a wild boar can glide in the air at this time. This may be a mistake made by the Supreme God when he created it, or it may be just his bad taste, but the pig is slowly sliding towards the ground. This is  There is no doubt about the fact that it happened in front of me.  Judging from its current landing speed, the landing speed may be faster than that of the Yangtze River Delta.  After exiting this mountain pass, there is a wide and straight bridge, and the end point is at the other end of the bridge.  At this moment, I can only think of four words in my mind, and that is "win is guaranteed."

    No matter when, before the results have appeared, never be too happy. This is what I have repeatedly told me through countless adventure experiences in my previous life. However, we are always so close to happiness time and time again.  It forgets.

    Just when I thought we were sure of victory this time, the demon riding a skeleton horse on the top of the mountain began his earth-shattering comeback:

    He rushed down from the top of the mountain with unparalleled momentum and stepped onto this rugged and difficult winding mountain road without hesitation.  When facing the double curve in front of it, it did not slow down at all, but instead accelerated the skeleton war horse even more.  Just when I thought he would undoubtedly rush out of the mountain road and fall off the cliff, the weird skeleton war horse turned around, landed on all four hooves, and slid sideways.  The earth and rocks on the mountain road were pushed around by it, and its horseshoes rubbed violently against the ground, making a tooth-aching "squeaking" sound.  when it's whole??The whole body turned around, and when facing the next mountain road, he shot the arrow forward without hesitation again, until he performed this amazing turning skill again before the next bend.

    I have never seen any creature that can be so strong and so elegant when going down the mountain. Although this is undoubtedly related to the skills of the skeleton horse itself, I have to say that such a difficult skill definitely requires the rider to be superb.  His skills, the timing and position he chose when turning each corner all reflect his extraordinary courage and fine control. More importantly, all of this must be based on his extremely detailed understanding of his mount.  superior.

    It only took less than a minute and a half to complete the advantages that the Yangtze River Delta had worked so hard to establish.  When he passed by the Yangtze River Delta, he twisted the buttocks of the skeleton horse twice, as if to express ridicule to his opponent.  When the "flying pig" in the wild goose formation finally landed after a long gliding process, the skeleton war horse passed right by its side, leading by half a horse's head.

    There is a straight road ahead. When everyone¡¯s mounts have a 100% speed bonus, it is impossible to change the ranking.  It was only then that the Yangtze River Delta was able to gallop out of the mountain pass and activate the mount's "running wild" skill, but it was obviously too late.  Fei Yin also activated the mount's "sprint" ability, but she was further away.

    This is really a huge irony. A group of us worked hard to establish such an advantage. Almost everyone was one step ahead of their opponents, but in the end they were completely defeated by one of the other people.  We finished second, third and fourth, but it was all meaningless because there was only one winner in the entire race.

    Oh, let me say one more thing. The devil who staged a shocking comeback at the last minute is named "Fujiwara Takumi". The name of his skeleton horse is a bit weird. It is a combination of some common language characters and some unfamiliar symbols. The specifics seem to be like this:

    "Fujiwara Toshi store (for home use)".
