Chapter Twenty-Nine: Heading for the Mountain
On the smooth mountain road that spirals upward, there are two objects, one large and one small, running wildly. The mountain road is well-groomed, the road is paved with stones, it has been used for many years, there is no sign of desertion, and the wide road is open to traffic - this is why this is the reason for this situation.
The Whimsy ran ahead at an astonishing speed, two dwarf animals dragging a wagon that didn't look like they could drag on the scale, and ran at a speed that a normal carriage could not run on flat ground. The wide road kept the speeding Whimsy from crashing into innocent pedestrians or other carriages, but it still caused a lot of commotion on the road. For pedestrians in front, the sound of frightening wheels rolling from behind is like a small thunderbolt, and it is absolutely impossible to ignore it. When pedestrians turn around, they may see the Whimsy whizzing by, bringing up gusts of wind, and a lot of smoke and dust—and the strange carriage that followed at a slightly slower pace behind the Whimsy.
Xu Qing, who was sitting in his own carriage, was now holding the reins in a very embarrassed manner, barely controlling the old horse in front of him, so that it would not run out of the mountain road because it was running too fast and fly down from this halfway up the mountainside. If they fly like this, Xu Qing and Tu Ju will naturally be fine, but this carriage and this old horse are not so lucky. Although this sick old horse was full of vitality because of Lulunaka's strange potion, Xu Qing didn't think that it could really withstand such an accident.
Xu Qing had ridden a lot of fierce horses, but a situation like this was something he had never experienced before. The one in front of it was not so much a horse as a different creature. No matter how violent a horse is, there is always a limit to physical strength, and to tame such a horse, it is enough for the rider to have the ability to control it - you can use the horse's physical strength beyond ordinary people, or you can rely on experience to make the horse more well-behaved. Either way, Xu Qing thinks he can do it, but now, it's the exception.
The old horse, which had traveled long enough distance, looked at the earth and was about to sink into the ground, and ran forward as if it were burning itself. It didn't have much fat on its body, and it shouldn't have had the stamina to run on such a mountain road, but its muscles visibly expanded in a circle, and its loose skin contracted back, making it look even more lean. But horses shouldn't be like this, no matter how strong a horse is, it should also have fat to store energy.
This is no longer a horse, a different creature entirely. Xu Qing didn't know if it was a good thing to let Lulunaka feed the potion to this old fellow who had walked so far with him. It looks like it's about to die from a long run of exhaustion, but before it reaches its destination, it really doesn't roll on the ground with a single hoof, or burst to death when it reaches its destination.
Xu Qing has seen a lot of this evil method, which is specially used to deceive those who want to gain strength without taking the right path, most of them end miserably, and a small part of them are to make his life worse than death to maintain his strength. No matter which one they were, they all died almost, and most of the latter were cut down by Xu Qing.
Xu Qingguang was already embarrassed just by holding the reins and controlling the horse's head, but Tuju didn't sit beside him, returned to the carriage and knelt down, motionless - if he made a slight movement, he might be thrown aside. Compared to cultivation, this is not an insurmountable hurdle, but it is indeed quite troublesome—the beast that has fallen into madness, and nothing more than that.
In front, as the lead whimsy, Lulunaka sat aside, leaving Gendina in control of the carriage. Only at this time will Lulunaka "feel at ease" to hand over the Whimsy to Gendina and let her control the carriage move independently. This was definitely not a good thing for Zhendina, as Lulunaka had done in the Warcraft Plains, leaving her tired of controlling two mad beasts and fearing the wolves chasing after her. In the end, her treatment was really not very good, and there were twists and turns, but fortunately, in the end, her body remained intact and there was no missing part.
"Left, left, left!" said Jindina, tugging at the reins in her hand, causing the Whimsy to deflect to the left. It walked on the bend to the left, and if it allowed the Wonder to continue running, it would completely break away from the spiraling track and speed out of the mountainside. In her experience, Lulunaka would have protected the Curiosity at that time, but would never have saved her.
Lulunaka was playing with an hourglass on the side, with a bronze frame and crystal clear glass, the whole of which was only the size of a third of a hand's palm in Lulunaka's hand. The fine sand inside is light red and has fallen halfway. "It's not at its top speed yet, but it's already the limit. ”
"Do you want it to fly out?" said Gendina with a heavy mockery, but Lulunaka ignored it, "If you fly out at this speed, you'll fall quickly, and we'll be a puddle of flesh at that point—no, I won't, you won't." But they can't die, that's for sure. ”
Zhendina didn't want to be like that, and how painful and uncomfortable it was to recover from that state, she had already experienced it.
Lulunaka looked out and could already see the scenery below the mountain, and only then was it the best time to look down the mountain, and some distance up, in the mountains surrounded by clouds and mist, she couldn't see what was below.
As everything down the hill grew smaller and more numerous, Lulunaka whistled, "That's what you call learning." ”
The flying body has been standing on Lulunaka's shoulder, waiting like a bird. "You see how it feels. ”
Lulunaka saw more than just the town she had just passed. On this spiral mountain road, looking around the mountain, you can see more than one town. In this small world surrounded by mountains, there are scattered settlements of all sizes, some larger than the size of a town, already comparable to a small city, and some smaller than a village. In the rivers, in the mountains, in the forests, you can see the intelligent life inhabited by them, whether they are humans, elves, dwarves......
Lulunaka has always had good eyes, and can easily and clearly see things from distances that others can't see.
"A small kingdom. Lulunaka looked at the flying body on her shoulder, "Is that your father's idea?"
The flying body nodded.
"It's not that interesting. Is it just playing, or is there something else...... What do you think your father thinks. ”
The flying body did not answer.
