Chapter 181: Marathon (Part II)
Let's not mention the two ninjas who are still gritting their teeth and chasing after the two teenagers, let's first talk about the half-soldier Takenaka and the unknown white-haired boy who are running while eating with a greasy mouth.
The two of them glared at each other as if they were more energetic, and they strode forward in unison. The right hands of the two of them coincidentally grabbed a piece of food from the food box, and every time they grabbed a piece of food, they stuffed it into their mouths, and they didn't even look at it, what they grabbed and ate.
Both of them are very sure that the other party is taking advantage of the night like themselves, and they are definitely the same as their own goals, going to the first place and what kind of champion.
Therefore, the other party is definitely their worst enemy.
Especially the little Shota of Takenaka Hanbei. Originally, in his heart, it didn't matter if he could get the title of that champion, anyway, he didn't have a yuan service, so he wasn't an adult.
However, with Wang Tianxie's words, Xiao Zhengtai suddenly broke out!
"As long as you can win the championship, I will tell you the complete version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Thirty-six Strategies!"
Wang Tianxie said a word, and Zhu Xiaozheng was completely excited.
For him, who aspires to be a famous military advisor, he has longed for the thirty-six plans of the Ming Kingdom on the other side of the sea countless times. As for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is something that famous military teachers in the Warring States Period must learn.
However, the complete version of the Thirty-six Strategies and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms cannot be found at all in this troubled Warring States on the other side of the sea! Therefore, Shota Takenaka has never had the opportunity to read it.
Wang Tianxie also promised Shota Kokota that if he didn't understand something, he could ask questions at any time. Because, in his previous life, Wang Tianxie once regarded the children's version of the 36 Strategies as a children's book or a toy because his family was poor.
At this moment, Shota Kokota can be said to have a ten-kilometer-long flame in his eyes, and the small universe erupted with all his might, shouting to him like a fire, "That champion, the apprentice is determined to win!" ”
It is also this driving force that pushes the soon-to-be-twelve-year-old Xiao Zhengtai, who is still running forward with his tired legs after running all day without rest.
On the other hand, the white-haired boy on the other side, this kid didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, the faster Hanbei Komasita ran, the faster he ran, and Hanbei Komasantia slowed down, and he also slowed down, as if he was deliberately working against Komasata.
Moreover, the white-haired boy's face was not panting like Xiao Zhengtai at all, but looked very energetic.
The food box in the hands of the two was already empty, and they casually threw it in the corner fence of the meadow that they don't know. However, as if he hadn't eaten enough, the white-haired boy licked his lips from time to time, licked his oily fingers, or dripped a few drops of saliva or something.
After the two of them ran vigorously against each other for most of the night, the white-haired boy suddenly rushed in the direction of the half-guard Xiao Zhengtai, and when Xiao Zhengtai didn't react at all, he hit him with a knife in the back of the head.
"Smack!" With a bang, the white-haired young man's hand knife slashed at the back of the head of the half-soldier Xiao Zhengtai.
Hanbei Xiao Zhengtai only felt a "buzzing" sound in his head, and then his eyes turned black and he fainted decisively.
The young man behind the half-guard Komasanti did not let his little body bones fall to the ground, but directly stopped him and hugged him, and carried him to a big tree that three people embraced, and let him lie against the big tree.
After doing this, the white-haired boy used his legs hard and jumped directly onto the thick branch more than seven meters high!
Immediately afterwards, he half-knelt on the branch, put his feet together, and pressed his hands slightly forward on the branch. When he was sure of his balance, he twisted his waist back hard, lifted his head high, and let out a long, high cry at the round full moon.
"Wow~woo~~~~"
What's even more bizarre is that the two ninjas who followed behind them didn't hear the white-haired boy's shouts at all, they could only see his movements!
"Hmmm......"
Takenaka Hanbei Komasata, who was leaning against a big tree, slowly opened his eyes and found that the entrance was bright.
It turned out that Moon Little Lori was finally tired of playing and was about to go home, while the Sun Little Sister opened her door and was ready to go shopping.
"Yo! Oh ha-yo! ......" (good morning)
When Shota Kokota raised his hands and rubbed his sleepy eyes, a loud cry came from high above his head.
Shota Nachiko immediately looked up, only to see the unknown white-haired boy who knocked him out yesterday sitting on a very tall branch with his feet dangling and looking at him.
The mysterious white-haired young man, after seeing Shota Takenaka's gaze, smiled very brightly and waved at him.
Unexpectedly, as if his feet suddenly slipped, he fell from the branch of the tree in the loud exclamation of Shota Koko.
Shota Takenaka was so frightened by the scene of the white-haired boy that he covered his eyes tightly. It's just that the loud "bang" sound he imagined, as well as a piece of meat and blood splashing, did not appear.
When he peeked through his fingers, he found that the white-haired boy, who didn't know when, was actually standing in front of him, laughing at him!
The two didn't say much after that, just looked at each other, and then invariably pointed in the direction of Zhuang Neichuan, spread their legs and ran.
Yes, after passing through Moriyama Castle, the next stop is the Shonai River, where all participants will swim across the Shonai River again and continue in the direction of Suemori Castle.
The Shonai River is very different from the Ryusenji River, the water flow of the Ryusenji River is very slow, but the Shonai River is very fast, and if you are not careful, you can easily be swept downstream.
Although there are no rocks or whirlpools in the water, which will not cause life-threatening risks, it will definitely disqualify the participants because they deviate from the course.
This is also the reason why the violent overage pseudo-Lori strongly recommends this river to Wang Tianxie, Yingji, and Cui Ji as one of the competition routes.
Sure enough, the river stumped many of the contestants again. The samurai who stepped on stilts, the old man who rode the horseman, and the important minister who rode the sika deer were all decisively swept downstream by the current and were disqualified from continuing to compete.
As for the princess army of Owari Province, under the leadership of Wang Tianxi, who has the best water nature, all the members were tightly wound together with a hemp rope, and everyone swam to the other side with great ingenuity.
Of course, the deerskin swimsuit once again exerted its powerful power, and the princesses did not have to worry about getting soaked at all, and the wet clothes they were wearing would show off their slender figures.
When the army of princesses of Owari Province came to Suemori Castle and was about to find an izakaya to rest, the mysterious white-haired boy and the half-guard Koshota had already passed through the gate on the other side of Suemori Castle and rushed towards the end point of Atsuta Jingu.
The two of them had already left everyone far behind.
Finally, near dusk of the next day, Hanbei Koshota and an unknown white-haired boy came to the foot of the mountain where Atsuta Jingu was located, side by side.
Looking at the looming shadow of the Atsuta Shrine on the mountain, Takenaka's legs trembled. After all, this little Zhengtai, who is about to turn twelve years old, has been running for two days and one night...... Oh no, in the middle of the night, in the second half of the night, I was knocked unconscious by an unknown white-haired boy.
However, when Shota turned his head to look at the unknown white-haired boy who had been working against him, his eyes immediately widened. The appearance of the white-haired boy is simply blind to Xiao Zhengtai's pair of 24K high-strength hardened kryptonite explosion-proof dog eyes!
Takenaka Hanbei involuntarily stretched out his thumb and index finger, and with the speed of taking a breath, he raided the waist and eyes of the white-haired young man, and then after he succeeded, he decisively pinched and twisted his two fingers hard.
"Whew~~~~"
This mysterious unknown white-haired boy suddenly distorted his face, let out a loud shout from his mouth, and pushed his hands towards Shota Kochita with lightning speed!
The strength of the half-guard in Takenaka was completely unable to withstand the white-haired boy, and he was suddenly pushed by him, and the whole person retreated more than ten steps back, and a fart fell to the ground.
"You...... What the hell did you just do, you idiot? The white-haired boy yelled at the half-guard Koshota. However, Hanbei Xiao Zhengtai just scratched his hair and smiled.
He wouldn't tell the other party that when he looked at the white-haired boy just now, he found that there wasn't even a drop of sweat on the other party's forehead; The other party's body is not like himself at all, and his whole body is soaked with sweat.
Hanbei Xiao Zhengtai suddenly thought that he was dreaming, and hurriedly pinched and twisted the waist and eyes of the white-haired young man...... When he saw the embarrassment of the white-haired boy and felt the pain coming from his buttocks, he was suddenly embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"You stupid, bastard, stupid, I don't know what it is, check if you're dreaming, please use your own waist eyes!" The unknown white-haired boy pointed at the half-guard Komasata, stomping his feet and yelling.
Hey? He could even guess his little ninety-nine? Hanbei Komasita was dumbfounded after the other party easily shouted out his motives......
The unknown white-haired boy, after yelling a lot, suddenly left the half-guard Komasata, and ran up the mountain decisively along the mountain road, leaving the half-guard Komasanti a gorgeous back of his head.
Oops, it's miserable, he actually ran away! It's broken, chase, chase, that first place must be obtained! Seeing that the other party had run away decisively, the half-guard Xiao Zhengtai was taken aback, his face changed instantly, and he couldn't care about bickering or relieving his breath anymore, so he chased after the white-haired boy directly.
It's a pity that the unknown white-haired boy backfired, who was already running faster and easier than Hanbei Komasata, and had more and more physical strength than Hanbei Komasata.
Because of this, Hanbei Komasita couldn't catch up with the other party at all, so he could only follow behind the other party with his eyes open, and watched pitifully as the other party snatched the blue ribbon across the finish line with his head held high.
Hanbei Komasita suddenly became tearful, and while his eyes were raining, he crossed the finish line second.
