Chapter 12: Sugol
Sure enough, after Ling Zikai remained conscious for ten minutes, a pinprick pain came from his mind, and then the image disappeared. He was still satisfied with the length of time, after all, in ten minutes, he could be able to explore several places.
The only thing that is still a little worried is how much time will it take to continue using it after using it once. If there is a limit that you can only use it once a day, it would be sad.
"Hey, what are you doing, I've told you several times that I haven't responded, I shouldn't be sleeping on a horse!"
There was a question in his ears, Ling Zikai looked up at Su Guoer, who was stopped in front of his horse and was looking back at him, and said, "I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now, I didn't hear what you were talking about?"
Seeing Ling Zikai's dazed appearance, Su Guoer was speechless, and looked at Ling Zikai for a long time as if he was looking at a monster, before asking, "I just asked you what method you used to subdue my jujube red horse?"
Su Guoer has always been worried about the betrayal of the jujube red horse, wondering if Ling Zikai secretly made some bad water.
"I've ridden it once before, and maybe it's got a crush on me!"
Of course, Ling Zikai would not tell the other party that he had the consciousness of an ancestral god and could control the jujube red horse, so he said vaguely.
"This is impossible! I have been with it since it was born, and I have been in a relationship with it for six or seven years, is it not as good as you who have only ridden it once? Do you have any special methods that you can teach me?"
"I want to know the reason? Okay, I'll tell you when I find you, Sister Cuckoo!"
"No, you tell me now, or ......"
"How else?"
"Otherwise, otherwise I won't leave!"
Ling Zikai's eyes widened when he heard this, he guessed that the other party might play all kinds of tricks, but he didn't expect to say this kind of scoundrel behavior, looking at Su Guoer's burly and sturdy body that was much taller than himself, but he was still only twelve or thirteen years old with the temper of a child, he couldn't help laughing, and said:
"No wonder your grandfather said that you are a child who will never grow up! Since you don't want to go, go back! I'll go by myself!"
With that, he turned his horse's head and walked past Sugol. He expected that the other party would not be able to go back, and if he did, he didn't know how Uncle Boer would repair him, so he didn't even look back and continued to move forward.
After walking the Lixu Road, Su Guoer reluctantly chased after him, and shouted in his mouth: "I said that you are really boring! It's not a big secret, what can't be said!"
Ling Zikai said in his heart: "If I really have to tell you the truth, I won't shock you half to death!"
Seeing Su Guoer's listless appearance, he secretly thought that although this kid was a little impulsive, he was still a real person. And this time the two of them entered the mountain together, if the relationship was stiffened, it would not work, his mind turned a few times, and he said: "Sugol, or let's make a bet, if you can win, I will tell you the truth." ”
"Really?" Su Guoer was overjoyed when he heard this, and said proudly: "What do you say we are comparing? hunting, horse racing or wrestling?
Ling Zikai saw that since the other party proposed these projects, they must be what he is good at, and secretly thought that hunting would definitely not work, and he had never even touched a gun. Horse racing can still be tried, as long as you use your consciousness to control the jujube red horse, but where is the venue for horse racing in this dense forest!
As for wrestling, in addition to strength, you also need to pay attention to skills, and these are all rookies among rookies. Now all I can rely on is the consciousness and energy of the ancestral gods.
Ling Zikai pondered for a moment and said, "Don't be so troublesome, let's compete to see whose strength is greater!"
"What did you say?"
Sugor wondered if he had misheard. Competing with himself to test his strength, this southerner shouldn't have burned out his brain! Just by looking at the figures of the two people, you can know that he is not in the same heavyweight class as himself.
"Why, don't you dare to compare?" Ling Zikai said deliberately: "Since you don't dare to compare, let's go!"
Su Guoer couldn't stand this stimulus at all, jumped off the horse at once, and shouted: "You say that I don't dare to compete with you? I am not afraid to laugh off your big teeth, just rely on your thin arms and legs, beware that I will beat you flat with one punch!"
Su Guoer's words reminded Ling Zikai, to be honest, he was really a little worried about Su Guoer, who looked like a chimpanzee's rough body, this kid was a violent bear, if that big fist greeted him, it would definitely be uncomfortable, and he hurriedly said: "Okay, let's be Wenbi!"
"What's Wenbi?"
Su Guoer was a little confused, the competition was the competition, how could there be so much attention.
Ling Zikai glanced around and saw a large stone on the side of the mountain road, estimated to weigh three or four hundred catties, so he said, "See that stone? ”
"What if you and I both lifted it?"
"Then it depends on who throws the stone far away, and the farthest one wins!"
"Good!"
Sugor agreed, and walked towards the stone.
"Wait, I haven't finished talking yet!"
"What's the matter, can you hurry up and finish the whole story!" Sugor became a little impatient.
"Since it's a gambling game, you have to have a lottery! If I lose, I'll tell you the secret of taming the jujube red horse, what if you lose?"
"What do you want?"
"If you lose, I don't want any lottery, as long as you obey my arrangement in all your actions in this mountain!"
"Okay!"
Su Guoer never thought that he would lose, and said nonchalantly: "As long as you can win me, from now on, you will be my eldest brother, and I will only look forward to you!"
Ling Zikai waited for Su Guoer's words, and immediately turned over the saddle and got off the horse.
I saw Su Guoer walk up to the stone, first shake it with his hand a few times, test the weight of the stone, and then grasp the ends with both hands, squat and bend over, and shouted "Get up!" under the force of his arms, the stone was slowly picked up by him. Then he raised his arms, lifted the stone above his head, and threw it out with all his might.
With a "boom", the stone fell three meters away, smashing a pit in the ground.
Su Guoer patted the dirt on his palm, and looked at Ling Zikai with a smug expression, meaning, it's time to look at you.
Ling Zikai saw Su Guoer lifting the stone effortlessly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this kid's brute strength is really not small, if he is allowed to participate in the weightlifting competition, maybe he will have an extra Olympic medal!
Ling Zikai didn't talk nonsense, he walked to the stone and tried it with his hand, it was heavier than he imagined, if he didn't use the ancestral god energy, according to his physical strength, not to mention lifting it, it would be difficult to move even if it was moved.
After taking a deep breath, Ling Zikai held the stone with both hands, secretly transported the energy lurking in his body, raised his arms up, and saw that the stone was thrown up like an inflated blue ball, more than four meters high, and then formed a parabola, hitting the trunk of a larch ten meters away.
With a loud bang, the stone was bounced back and landed two meters away, smashing out a deep pit.
Then there was a "click" sound, and the larch was smashed by the waist, and the upper half of the trunk slowly fell to the ground with a loud noise, raising a puff of dust.
Ling Zikailu's hand stunned Su Guoer, and after a long time, he stuck out his tongue, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, bowed to him, and said, "I Su Guoer is my talk, from now on, you will be my eldest brother!"
Ling Zikai was about to say a few polite words, but before he could speak, another sentence came out of Su Guoer's mouth, which made him laugh:
"As a newly recognized little brother, I don't want any greeting gifts from you, but you are always embarrassed to ride the little brother's jujube red horse again!"
Yes, there is no such thing as a free lunch! This big brother is not for nothing.
Ling Zikai didn't really care what kind of horse he was riding, in other words, these two horses belonged to others. People kindly lent it to themselves to ride, but they can't occupy the magpie's nest!
The two changed mounts, and Ling Zikai no longer used his consciousness to control the jujube red horse. The horse returned to its former state, and the little master was as close as ever, but Sugol was as happy as a child, and rode the horse through the forest.
Ling Zikai followed behind unhurriedly, no matter how fast Su Guoer ran, even if there was no figure, he could always take a shortcut to catch up.
After a while, they came to Wild Boar Ridge. Because the mountain was too steep, the two men dismounted and led their horses to it.
Compared with before, Su Guoer, who was in a happy mood, was obviously much more talkative, and explained to Ling Zikai that there were groups of wild boars on this mountain ridge before, so it was called Wild Boar Ridge. In fact, this mountain range also has a name, called the watershed. This side of the mountain is under the jurisdiction of Yunhai County, where the entire canyon was reclaimed by the locals to grow grain, but now these forests are planted more than ten years ago after the government called for the return of farmland to forests.
On the other side of the mountain is the ground of Hung Yen City. At the time of liberation, it was still a dense primeval forest, but it was later cut down and deforested. Fortunately, the whole Xing'an City is a forest area, which belongs to the edge of the border with Baishan City, the location is remote, the traffic is inconvenient, and if you want to pass from Baishan City, there is a steep mountain range, so it is not wreaked havoc, forming a primitive secondary forest.
The whole secondary forest covers a large area, with a radius of more than 5,000 square kilometers, while the old forest is located in the center of the secondary forest, about 300 square kilometers. The reason why it is called Old Forest, as the name suggests, is a real primeval forest.
To get there, you have to travel through nearly 100 kilometers of pristine secondary forest.
Walking in the forest is not the same thing as walking on the plains. The distance from one hill to the other may seem like a kilometre in a straight line, but to get to the other side you have to cross a canyon, first downhill, then uphill, and if you encounter a cliff, you have to take a detour, which is more than twice as long.
As the saying goes, looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, that's what it means.
