Chapter 57: Into the Pegasus Forest
Tianma Forest, located in the middle of the territory of the Luoyun Sect, is about more than three thousand miles away from Luoyun City, and is a dense forest with a radius of hundreds of miles.
Deep in the forest, there is a huge lake. The water in the lake, gurgling and steaming. The entire lake area exudes a strong smell of sulfur.
On the shore of the lake, there are more than a dozen tall white horses. Unlike ordinary horses, these horses are extremely tall and have a pair of silver wings on their bodies.
There was a horse galloping by the lake, and suddenly it was exciting, and its wings spread slightly, and it glided against the ground, until it was a hundred meters away, and then it fell to the ground again.
These horses are strange beasts. And their existence is also the origin of the name of the Pegasus Forest.
Far from the shore of the lake, there are also some quite amazing horses. These black horses are all far away from the Pegasus, and they look at the Pegasi as if they were courtiers looking at the king.
These horses are collectively known as the Black Horse, the mount of the Xuanjia Heavy Horse, which is exactly such a type.
......
On the second day after leaving the Falling Cloud Sect, Lin Feng and the others came to the edge of the Pegasus Forest.
Here, too, a hundred-man team of Xuanjia heavy cavalry was stationed. The Black Spirit Horse is a forbidden item within the territory of the Falling Cloud Sect, and anyone who tries to take the Black Spirit Horse without permission will be attacked by the Xuanjia Heavy Horse.
Lin Feng and the others came directly to the barracks at the edge of the forest.
There are a total of fifty-eight new knights who have come here to choose mounts. Of the ninety-seven places, the other thirty-nine went to the veterans. In other words, of the sixty veterans who participated in the test like Yun Zhiya, thirty-nine of them retained their status.
Inside the barracks.
"Boys, listen to Lao Tzu!" Gan Li, the centurion of the Xuanjia heavy cavalry stationed in the local area, shouted, "Lao Tzu will talk about the rules for choosing mounts, which one dares to violate, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite!"
Lin Feng and the others listened intently, each holding a hand-drawn sheepskin map in their hands, which marked the various areas of the Tianma Forest.
"The entire Pegasus Forest is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only this side is the exit. This is the treasure land of the sect, and it is also a forbidden land! Only when the new knight chooses a mount, can he enter!"
"Within two hundred miles of the forest is the area where the black spirit horses are active, and it is also the place where you choose your mounts. Two hundred miles away, there is a real strange beast 'Pegasus' infested. That's a real alien beast, its strength is comparable to a seventh-level powerhouse of the Tiger Shape Fist, or even an eighth-level powerhouse!
"Don't go into that area! Otherwise, as a knight, you die here before you go to battle, won't it make people laugh off their big teeth?"
Everyone listened honestly.
"Even if you can get out of front of Tenma, it's useless. Pegasus has a haughty temperament and would rather die than become a mount. So there's no point in entering that area. ”
Gan Li continued, "Mounts are our second life, so be sure to choose them carefully. However, choosing a mount is also a fate, and you must make the mount have a good impression of you. You must remember that you can only slowly cultivate a relationship with the black horse, and you must not attack the black horse!
"You've got ten days! Ten days, you're going to be in the forest. After ten days, whether you choose a mount or not, you must come out!"
"Also, choose a mount, it's best to go it alone. As long as you don't enter the Pegasus-infested area, with your strength, there is no danger. Black horses are easily frightened, and if they go alone, they are more likely to choose the right mount!"
"That's all I have to say, you can enter the forest!"
The Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry is hierarchical, and everyone is a new recruit, and they must be treated with enough respect in front of a centurion. At that moment, everyone left the barracks in silence and entered the forest.
......
When you enter the forest, you will be surrounded by extremely tall trees. The trees are tall but not crowded, and the sunlight can easily shine from the treetops onto the glades. The clearing was covered with dense grass, and although it was winter elsewhere, the forest was as warm as spring.
This kind of environment is a very suitable place for wild horses to live.
Although Gan Li said that it was better to go it alone, since a group would serve in one place, most of the people in the same group chose to act together.
"Let's go this way!" a tall boy looked around and pointed in one direction.
"Good. The two teenagers next to him also nodded.
The three of them strode in that direction, and soon disappeared into the dense forest.
"Let's go this way!"
"There are few people going this way, let's go this way. ”
The teenagers strode into the forest in groups.
"Brother Lin, which direction are we going?" Fang Qingshuang asked with a smile.
Before Lin Feng could answer, a voice suddenly sounded: "Miss Qingshuang." ”
Lin Feng turned around, but saw an emaciated teenager striding over.
The young man is handsome, but his body is a little thin, and judging from the aura emanating from his body, he is also a strong man with the sixth weight of the Tiger Shape Fist.
Lin Feng also recognized this person, his name was Liu Bai. There are only fourteen Tiger Shape Fist level 6 players participating in the test, so it is naturally easy to remember.
"Miss Qingshuang, let's go together!" Liu Bai approached Fang Qingshuang and said with a smile, "We were in a small group when we tested, and we will definitely serve in a city in the future." Now get to know each other better, and we can better cooperate on the battlefield in the future!"
"No need, Liu Bai. Fang Qingshuang smiled slightly, "I'm going to serve with Brother Lin, so naturally we have to go together." ”
"You serve with them? How is this possible? We are only a group!" Liu Bai said in amazement.
"Liu Bai, goodbye. Fang Qingshuang smiled slightly, looked at Lin Feng and said, "Brother Lin, let's go! As he spoke, he walked in one direction.
"Well, okay. Lin Feng nodded, smiled at the willow white, and walked over.
Su Yan and Su Ying glanced at each other, and followed quickly.
Liu Bai looked at Fang Qingshuang's beautiful figure, a trace of unwillingness appeared on his face, his gaze turned to Lin Feng, and his face was also gloomy.
"Humph!"
Liu Bai snorted, turned around and strode into the forest, disappearing.
......
"Brother Lin, do you know why there are black horses here?" Fang Qingshuang said as he walked.
"I don't know. Lin Feng shook his head.
"I don't know. Qingshuang, you must know, tell us about it!" Su Yan hurriedly said.
Fang Qingshuang glanced at Su Yan and said, "The Black Spirit Horse has a trace of Pegasus blood. In fact, they are the descendants of Pegasus, but their bloodlines are weaker. ”
"Originally, there were no black horses in this forest. Originally, the most famous thing here was the crater lake in the center. Hundreds of years ago, the sect found traces of Pegasi around the crater lake, so they bought a large number of high-quality mares and put them in the forest, so that Pegasi and these mares could mate, and the first batch of black horses were born. ”
"Intersection?"
Su Ying listened, and two red clouds appeared on her pink face.
Fang Qingshuang was extremely indifferent, and continued: "This batch of black spirit horses, the bloodline is naturally the purest, with half of the Pegasus bloodline. However, the number simply cannot meet the needs of the sect, so for hundreds of years, the sect has been releasing sturdy mares into the forest. ”
"These mares are put into the forest, and some of them mate with Pegasi, and some of them mate with black ponies, and the new black ponies are naturally produced with different concentrations of Pegasus bloodlines. And there are also black horses, which are the product of the mating between black horses. So it is also a black horse, but the bloodline is extremely complicated. ”
"The black horse with the highest bloodline concentration of Tianma is naturally the strongest, and the lower the bloodline concentration, the closer it is to an ordinary war horse!"
Su Yan said: "Then when we enter the forest, we are naturally looking for the black horse with the purest bloodline!"
"Of course. Fang Qingshuang nodded, shook his head again, and said, "But it's not easy to do it." These black horses, in terms of appearance, are all about the same. And we are not allowed to attack them, we cannot see their limits. So choosing a mount is actually a matter of luck. ”
"If you can't do it, why do you say this? Su Ying sneered.
Lin Feng nodded, in fact, he naturally knew these things.
Choosing a mount is indeed a matter of luck.
Once a mount has been selected, it cannot be changed. Of course, no knight will change mounts unless the mount dies in battle. The relationship between the knight and the mount is inherently delicate.
Once a knight is killed or retired, the horse will be released back into the Pegasus Forest. When Lin Heng left Luoyun City, his mount was put back here.
Such war horses will not accept someone else as their new master.
After all, the Kuro Pony has the Pegasus bloodline, and has inherited part of the arrogance of the Pegasus.
Several people talked, but there was no pause under their feet, and soon they entered the depths of the forest for more than ten miles.
"Look, Black Horse!" Su Yan suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked over and saw that on the bank of the river in front of them, there was an extremely tall war horse, bowing its head and drinking. The shiny mane shimmered in the autumn sun.
The horse is black overall, and is twice as tall as a normal war horse. Standing there, full of beauty of strength.
All the people stood still, and looked at the war horse carefully.
"Good horse!" Fang Qingshuang looked at it for a while and exclaimed.
Lin Feng nodded: "It is indeed a good horse!"
Although it is not possible to determine the pedigree concentration of this horse, the height already indicates that this is definitely not your average black horse.
"This war horse, do any of you?" Fang Qingshuang asked.
"I don't want to. Su Ying shook her head, "There must be a better one in it." ”
Su Yan said: "Since you like Qingshuang, then you can try to accept it!"
"Brother Lin, what do you say?" asked Fang Qingshuang.
Lin Feng smiled: "I'll take a look at it too!"
"Okay, I'll try it!" Fang Qingshuang nodded and walked gently towards the black horse.
