81. Wolf hunting
Catapult and spear throwing, catapult is the technique of throwing boulders out with the power of a chariot with precision, in short, it is a technique that Newton would love to lift the coffin board.
Spear throwing, as the name suggests, is the technique of throwing a spear in your hand at the enemy on a chariot or on the ground and killing the enemy with the piercing force of the spear.
Throwing stones and spears are not very difficult skills to achieve, and it is not impossible to achieve them with a lot of practice.
However, the competition is always divided into different levels, and the mastery of the technique depends on the individual, not the per capita mastery level of the skill, whether it is the ability to operate the chariot or the skill of throwing the spear are different from person to person.
There is no doubt that even among the best of the contestants in Ireland, Fergus and Cúchulainn are still the strongest and the only pair capable of being rivals against each other.
One was a man of great talent who had worked hard to become Ireland's most famous warrior.
One is a man with the blood of a god-king and the top strength of Ireland after a hellish grind.
Both of these will be the fighters who will shine on the battlefield in the future, and now this is the first battle between the two.
Fergus felt Cúchulainn's fighting intent, and the sharp momentum felt a strong threat even if he was as strong as him, which made it difficult for him to imagine that the young man in front of him had only recently turned sixteen.
"Wow! What a momentum, you kid is really powerful, you have to come out well in the arena later! ”
"That's what it should be!"
Cú Chulainn's face was serious, he was ready to go, he didn't dare to underestimate Fergus, even if it was other opponents, "never underestimate your opponent" This is the truth that Qi Wuce has taught him in the past nine years.
At this time, the referee has also come over.
"Warriors! This is the best stage to show your skills, and prove your years of training! In the name of King Concierber, I declare the race officially open! ”
"Whew!!"
It was a roar from a ferocious beast, and in the eyes of the contestants, wolves poured out of the woods on the right side of the horizon, the same wolves that ravaged the whole of Ireland and terrified countless farmers and merchants.
Among the huge wolf pack, even any gray wolf is the size of a domestic cow, and this is a fierce beast that is only a line away from the level of the demonic beast.
In the Ulster, what better proof of a warrior's strength than war is the hunting of wild beasts!
Needless to explain, all the warriors subconsciously picked up the spears in their hands, hundreds of wild wolves, no less than the strength of a well-trained army of five thousand people, even for these warriors who have reached the superhuman realm after training, this will definitely be a fierce battle.
Cú Chulainn did not hesitate, the strong body of the war horse had already pulled the chariot, and the sound of the axle wheels rubbing against the ground was the indomitable courage in his heart.
"Wow! It's really messy enough, and it looks like I'll be able to have a good time this time. ”
Fergus drove the chariot alongside the galloping Cúchulainn, as did the rest of the warriors, and no one would easily accept defeat in this glorious arena.
On the chariot, the warriors had already prepared several thick bundles of throwing spears, which was enough for the contestants to slaughter all these hundreds of wild wolves with the strength of the contestants.
Cú Chulainn picked up a spear and held it to the side of his head, this is when the wolves are at their most dense, as long as the strength is enough, even with their eyes closed, no one will miss this great opportunity to hunt wolves.
"Hah!"
Cu Chulainn's eyes widened suddenly, his right arm of the spear burst out like a green tendon, and the spear in his hand tore through the air like a blue meteor.
The blue meteor hit through the first wolf, and the huge force carried the wolf's corpses into the air, one after the other, until the spear was full of three wolves and could no longer hold any more corpses.
The eyes of Conche Eber and the officials around him were full of appreciation, and through the light curtain built by magic, they were able to watch the game live.
Unlike those who watched the game by magic, everyone who participated in the game, except for Fergus, was nervous by Cúchulainn's stunning blow.
They may not consider themselves to be as good as Fergus, the most famous warrior in Ireland, but that doesn't mean they'll be like a strong young man who is much younger than them, because it's a matter of face - no one wants to lose to a stinky boy.
Countless spears flew from the air to the wolves, and the warriors followed closely behind the wolves in chariots, driving the wolves away like farmers herding sheep.
There are obviously only less than ten fingers of contestants in this arena, but the overwhelming spear throwing has a sense of ten thousand troops.
Fergus was no weaker than Cú Chulainn, his child-sized arms were bursting with explosive power, and each throw of a spear could kill several wild wolves.
With the power of an armor-piercing bullet, even this ferocious wolf the size of a calf could only be reduced to an animal to be slaughtered.
But the wolves that rely on hunting for a living on this vast land are not those livestock that have been domesticated and erased from their wild nature, and rabbits will open their mouths to bite when they are in a hurry, let alone these wild wolves full of wildness.
After the panic, the wolf calmed down, and the head wolf was hiding among the wolves, taking back the control of the wolves in a way unique to wolves.
Cú Chulainn immediately realized that something was wrong with the wolves, and he knew that once he had hunted the wolves with Qi Wuce, once he had overcome the initial panic, the next calm and the wolves that were once again led by the head wolf would be the deepest nightmare of all hunters.
As the largest animal race in Ireland, it is naturally impossible for the warriors participating in the competition not to have hunted these creatures, but even if they have seasoned experience, their intuition is far less sharp than that of Cú Chulainn.
So when the wolves began to fight back, the warriors began to scramble.
One wild wolf after another turned around and rushed towards the chariot desperately, obviously they were all driven away like Erha a moment ago, but at this moment they began to die one by one.
The wolves swooped back, and rushed towards the horses pulling the cart in a targeted and organized manner.
Even if the war horse is strong enough, but with the drag of the chariot, it is naturally impossible for the war horse to be faster than the wild wolf without burden.
So, with the exception of Cúchulainn, who had pulled away early, the contestants, including Fergus, had to move from their chariots to their horses and use their spears to drive away the wolves that pounced.
As the protagonist of "The Bull Hunt", Cú Chulainn, who will be famous as Ireland's Child of Light in the future, how can he be troubled by the counterattack of wolves like the masses at this time?
While everyone is in a stalemate with the wolves who are not afraid of death, Cú Chulainn has already found the head wolf hidden in the wolves.
