Chapter Seventy-Five: Courage
Xiu Yi took the lead and led the whole team to climb the mountain road.
The mountain is not abrupt, but very gentle, and the arc of the rise is not high. The river next to me didn't flow to the top of the mountain because of the elevation of the terrain, that is impossible.
So the water rushed out of a river channel on this mountain. After thousands of years of wind and rain, the river washed out, and the river water flowed out of a straight river that seemed to divide the whole mountain in two.
The river is close to Xiu, but the river is getting lower and lower.
In other words, the place where the cultivation is located is getting higher and higher.
The dark nose gasped, bringing out a series of snorts from time to time. The way up the mountain is too physically demanding, and even the darkness is a bit overwhelming. Xiu couldn't help but think that if even the dark felt tired, then other people's horses must also need to rest for a while.
Counting the time, half of it has passed. The sun is still a short distance overhead, and it will be about an hour or so to reach the allotted time.
They had been galloping at this speed for half the time, and the horsepower was particularly depleted.
"Come on, let's climb to the top of the mountain and rest for a while!" Xiu turned his head and shouted encouragement to his companions behind him.
"How long will it take to get to the top?" Anthony touched his horse uneasily. It already has a little foam in its mouth, which is not good news.
"It's about five minutes away." Xiu shouted from afar. He urged Dark to climb to the top of the hill faster, wanting to see what the road behind was going to be.
Dark really obeyed Xiu's instructions, I don't know where the power came from increased a little speed again, and rushed to the top of the mountain with Xiu in one breath, Dark also seemed to be a little unbearable, and his hooves stumbled and seemed to fall, but in the end he still stood firm.
It gasped heavily, pacing softly. It seems that running at full speed for such a long time is also a bit unbearable for Dark. After all, it hasn't grown up yet, maybe when it is fully grown up in a year, its performance will amaze everyone!
If it were normal, Xiu would definitely care about the darkness. But now he doesn't have that mind.
He saw an urge that almost made him want to beat the man who drew the map.
Once you reach the top of the mountain, there is a small gentle area, and further away is a downhill slope, but the angle of this descent is very large, and the big one is a little dangerous.
But this doesn't make Xiu so angry, what really makes Xiu angry is that section of the cliff dozens of meters away!
And this section is not drawn on the map at all!
If you choose to go down the mountain to avoid this cliff at this time, it will take at least half an hour! In that case, it will be absolutely impossible to arrive at the designated meeting point on time!
In other words, their plan didn't work from the start!
"No, be calm, don't get excited, it's useless to be angry..."He forced himself to calm down.
But even if he calmed down now, it wouldn't help. The clock is ticking, minute by minute. Never one more minute, never one second less, very fair.
Fix your eyes a little.
He resolutely turned back to all his friends below who had not yet climbed to the top of the mountain and said, "Okay, let's rest here!" ”
Everyone stopped their horses, turned over and jumped.
The road is really bumpy, and many people feel back pain. After all, they haven't fully learned to ride a horse, there is no way to do a perfect ride, and back pain is inevitable.
The horses snorted heavily, panting, and wisps of foam came out of their mouths.
They are in dire need of rest, feeding the horses grass and drinking water.
But they still need to run for a long time, and now they are absolutely not allowed to feed the horses.
"Xiu, how's the road ahead?" Anthony and Carlos walked up and asked.
Xiu didn't answer, but looked at the floor with a less optimistic expression.
The two glanced at each other and were about to step forward to take a look, but they were stopped by Xiu.
"Anthony, Carlos, do you believe me?" Xiu raised his head and looked at the two of them with unprecedented seriousness, his eyes fixed on the two.
"I must believe you, Xiu." Carlos replied without hesitation.
Anthony glanced at Xiu with some confusion, and nodded, "I believe in you." Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to take this path. ”
"If you believe me, then don't go up and see it." Xiu said solemnly.
The two looked at Xiu inexplicably, but nodded and agreed.
I'm sorry, but if I let you see it, I'm afraid you won't be able to rest so peacefully... Xiu closed his eyes and thought silently.
He took a deep breath, squeezed a little smile on his face, and then opened his eyes suddenly, "Let's rest for ten minutes!" Only ten minutes! We're going to go again in 10 minutes! Xiu shouted loudly, "Do you hear it!" The people on the side who didn't hear help talk about it! ”
Everyone saw that Xiu shouted energetically with a childish smile on his face, so he also responded, not noticing what kind of obstacle they were in front of him.
"Good! Heard it! ”
"Clear!"
"Ten minutes? Good! ”
Xiu took out the map and asked everyone to come around.
"Look, we're on this hill right now." Xiu's finger drew a circle on the icon of a mountain on the map.
"We started here and our destination was here, and this red dot was here. We've already walked more than half the way, and if we keep up our pace, we'll be almost an hour away from where we're now. And we're almost an hour away. ”
Some people are worried, "Time is tight." ”
"Yes, we are short on time, so we must go to the end of this road, no matter how dangerous it is!" Xiu said with a somewhat evasive gaze.
"Well, no matter how dangerous there is ahead, we must rush over!" Andrew firmly slammed his fist on his palm: "We have no other choice!" ”
"Let's get some rest. Rest time is a must, let's not think about anything else at this time, concentrate on recovering physical strength, and also give the horse a little time to recover its physical strength. ”
Everyone sat down, and no one spoke or did anything else. They all quietly regained their strength in place, waiting for the time to end.
Because they are all tired, whether it is a horse or a person, they need a little time to recover.
Ten minutes is not a long time, and Xiu calculated it in his heart, minute by minute. I don't know if it's accurate, anyway, it was about ten minutes or so, and Xiu stood up.
More than 20 people didn't say anything, and they all stood up and led their horses in tacit agreement.
"Get on the horse!"
Everyone turned over and got on their horses neatly.
"I don't want to hide it from you, because we're all in this together! In the words of the instructor, we will give our lives to each other later! Xiu suddenly said to the knights, "Therefore, the instructor also asks us to trust each other!" I believe in you, I believe in you unconditionally! Do you believe me! ”
"Believe!" The knights said without hesitation.
"Thank you, thank you for this trust..."Xiu's gaze was a little evasive, and then became firm!
"Remember, we have about 100 meters of sprint, which is enough for our horses to run as fast as they can! Then there will be a descent of more than 50 meters, which will allow the horse to exceed its own acceleration! Then, we're going to jump over an obstacle! That obstacle is a little scary, but! Xiu looked firm and said to everyone, "Trust me! We can pass! No difficulty can stop us! Right! ”
"Yes!" The neat and loud answer resounded throughout the valley, causing the faces of the three distant Destiny Observers to change dramatically.
"Nonsense! Who's leading the way! The captain scolded on the spot: "They really want to cross that cliff!" What is his brain for? What about his brain! ”
"Captain, let's stop them!" Valkyrie said anxiously.
"It's too late. We can't do anything now... It's too far! They can't hear even the shouting! The captain looked at the recruits with an ugly face, "I'm afraid even half of the people here won't survive!" ”
"Captain, we still have beacons!" A Valkyrie pulls out a beacon.
"But if the beacon is launched, it means that they have failed the assessment!"
"Isn't it a failure now! Don't hesitate, it's too late! Valkyrie urged.
The captain gritted his teeth, took the beacon, pulled the fuse, and let the beacon rise into the air.
"Charge!" Xiu waved his hand vigorously.
The sound of horses' hooves roared like a storm.
They knew that there was a dangerous obstacle ahead, and although Xiu didn't tell them clearly, everyone had a guess in their hearts. What else can be called a dangerous obstacle on such a high mountain! Only cliffs!
But they trust Xiu.
Even if they don't trust him, they force themselves to believe in him! Because punishment is worse than death!
"Rush rush rush! Run! Xiu Quanquan roared and screamed. The shouts of his hands to his mount were incessant, constantly urging his horse to run faster, faster and faster. The usual hundred meters looked like a long time, but at the speed of the horse, it was already rushed in a few seconds, and a sharp slope appeared in front of him. The horse charged faster, and even he was a little unable to control it.
Ahead, the gap of tens of meters is getting closer and closer.
Jumping over is life, and if you can't jump over, it's death! Now the speed can't be stopped!
Time seemed to be delayed for a moment, and the dark hooves ran slowly, and the edge of the trail grew closer and closer.
Syllable!
The dark hooves stomped heavily just a few dozen centimeters from the edge.
"Jump!" Xiu pulled the reins hard, and his riding boots hooked Dark's belly. Secretly leaped forward, bouncing up to a height higher than the knight behind him!
The dark front hooves are slightly curved, and one of its hind legs stretches straight!
The dark mane fluttered like a flag in the galloping wind, its speed was beyond the reach of the wind, and in the sun close to noon, its shiny fur reflected the blazing light, and this handsome figure made all the horses ashamed of themselves!
It deserves to be the best horse ever!
This perfect and impressive handsome body, that incomparable explosiveness, and that perfect muscles are definitely the mount that every knight dreams of!
The pitch-black figure jumped out of a peerless arc on the cliff of nearly dozens of meters, and this god didn't take the cliff in his eyes at all!
Darkness landed with a bang, but Xiu didn't let Darkness stop. Because he's going to give way to those behind him!
Fierce and dense cracking sounds and the screams of horses erupted behind them, and the elves of speed challenged the almost impossible to jump over cliffs with unparalleled speed! It seems that in response to the owner's resolute mentality, these horses have burst out with unprecedented potential! In just a few seconds, the dense knights crossed one after another arcs that brushed shoulders with death, and the cliff that was incomparably close to death fell heavily on the opposite side. Their bodies are incomparably handsome, and their eyes are incomparably resolute! They did not hesitate at all, nor did they have the slightest cowardice for fear of the consequences of failure!
Although their clean faces and shiny armor were covered by the mud, and although they were exhausted by the long-distance run, they found the most terrible and desperate willpower little by little!
When the last knight crossed the seemingly impossible obstacle, a brilliant green firework exploded in the sky as if in celebration!
