Three days later. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The gate of the guard barracks.

A group of heavily armed Qixia Iron Guards stood outside the door, and behind them, a dozen huge carriages. Every carriage was pulled by iron-backed horses.

It is also the carriage of Qixia Tiewei that can be so magnificent!

In these carriages, they are all young men and women who have passed the test and gone to the Dragon Horse Forest to choose war horses.

In one of the carriages, Luo Chen and Zhong Lin sat opposite each other. Opposite them, the beautiful girl dressed in green was Zhong Rui. Next to Zhong Rui, the blue-clothed girl with a free and easy meaning between her eyebrows is Fang Shishi.

"I'm about to leave Qixia City! This time, although I successfully joined the Qixia Iron Guard, I didn't see Liu Yuxi alone. Luo Chen thought, naturally feeling a little regretful in his heart.

"I'm going to the Ryoma Forest!" Zhong Rui said excitedly, "I don't know what kind of mount I can get this time!"

"Don't be excited, when you get to the Ryoma Forest, you should be careful. Zhong Lin said, "The iron-backed horse has a trace of desolate beast blood, and I heard that in the depths of the forest, there is a real dragon horse! ”

"Don't be afraid, what's there to be afraid of?" Zhong Rui snorted, "Isn't this Senior Brother Luo? Senior Brother Luo will protect us." ”

Fang Shishi smiled lightly and didn't say anything.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen!" a thunderous voice rang out.

"Brother Fang. Luo Chen hurriedly jumped out of the carriage.

"Brother Fang is good!" Zhong Rui also left the carriage and bowed to the bald strong man.

"Haha! Okay!" Fang Shiyu laughed and said, "Xiao Chen, you just came and are leaving, big brother is here to see you off." ”

"Thank you, Brother Fang!" Luo Chen said respectfully.

"Haha!" Fang Shiyu smiled, looked at Zhong Rui and said with a smile, "Little girl, you will be with Xiao Chen in the future, you have to take care of him, you know?"

"I will, Brother Fang!" Zhong Rui said sweetly.

"Ask the house on the road to the sky, I will help you find it, you don't have to worry about it. Go to the service with peace of mind!" Fang Shiyu said again.

"Yes! I know. Luo Chen nodded.

"Old Fang, don't talk about it, it's like a girl!" In the Qixia Iron Guard in front of the carriage, a person who looked like a captain scolded with a smile.

"Lao Tzu is willing, can you manage it?" Fang Shiyu snorted.

"This old boy!" the captain of the Iron Guard shrugged.

Fang Shiyu ignored the captain, and explained a few more words, and then left.

"Go!" the captain of the Iron Guard ordered.

The sound of horses' hooves swept through the streets like thunder, and flew away towards the outside of the city.

The iron-backed horse, the cold light armor, the heavy sword, and the celestial star bow are all the standard suits of the Qixia Iron Guard. The last three pieces are all distributed, only this ironback horse needs to go to the Ryoma Forest to collect it.

Only the iron-backed horse, which is subdued by his own hands, is completely one with his master.

The carriage galloped along the avenue towards the Longma Forest, and Luo Chen was also full of expectations for his mount.

......

Longma Forest, located in the middle of the territory of Qixia Sect, is about 3,000 miles away from Qixia 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 the wild beasts and dragon horses. And their existence is also the origin of the name of Ryoma Forest.

Far from the shore of the lake, there are also some quite amazing horses. These black horses were all far away from Ryoma, and they looked at Ryoma like courtiers looking at a king.

These horses are collectively known as iron-backed horses, and the mounts of the Qixia Iron Guard, which are exactly such a type.

......

On the second day after leaving Qixia Sect, Luo Chen and the others came to the edge of the Dragon Horse Forest.

Here, too, a hundred-man team of Qixia Iron Guards was stationed. Ironback horses are forbidden within the territory of Qixia Sect, and anyone who tries to take them away without permission will be attacked by Qixia Iron Guard.

Luo Chen and the others came directly to the guard camp at the edge of the forest.

There are a total of fifty-eight new guards who have come here to choose mounts. Of the ninety-seven places, the other thirty-nine went to the old guards. In other words, of the sixty old iron guards like Yun Zhongtian who participated in the test, thirty-nine of them retained their position.

Inside the guard camp.

"Boys, listen to Lao Tzu!" Gan Ning, the centurion of the Qixia Iron Guard stationed in the local area, shouted, "Lao Tzu will talk about the rules for selecting mounts, which one dares to violate them, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite!"

Luo Chen and the others listened intently, and everyone was holding a hand-drawn sheepskin map in their hands, which marked various areas of the Ryoma Forest.

"The entire Ryoma 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 Iron Guard chooses a mount, can he enter!"

"Within two hundred miles of the forest is the area where the iron-backed horses move, and where you choose your mounts. Two hundred miles away, there is a real wild beast 'Ryoma' infested. That's a real desolate beast, its strength is comparable to a seventh-level martial artist, or even an eighth-level powerhouse!

"Don't enter that area! Otherwise, as an iron guard, you will 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 Ryoma, it's useless. Ryoma has a haughty temperament and would rather die than become a mount. So there's no point in entering that area. ”

Gan Ning 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 iron-backed horse, and you must not attack the iron-backed 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 area infested by the ironback horses, with your strength, there is no danger. Ironback horses are easily frightened, and if they go it alone, they are more likely to choose the right mount!"

"That's all I have to say, you can enter the forest!"

Qixia Iron Guard has a clear hierarchy, and everyone is a new soldier, and he must maintain enough respect in front of a centurion. At that moment, everyone left the guard camp in silence, and Yuguan 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 Ning said that it was best to act 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.

"Senior Brother Luo, which direction are we going?" Fang Shishi asked with a smile.

Before Luo Chen could answer, a voice suddenly sounded: "Miss Shishi." ”

Luo Chen turned around, but saw an emaciated young man 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 of the sixth layer of martial arts.

Luo Chen also recognized this person, his name was Liu Zongyuan. There are only fourteen of the sixth level of the "Heavenly Tiger Fire Fist" that participated in the test, so it is naturally easy to remember.

"Miss Shishi, let's go together!" Liu Zongyuan approached Fang Shishi 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 Zongyuan. Fang Shishi smiled slightly, "I'm going to serve with Senior Brother Luo, so naturally we have to go together." ”

"You serve with them? How is this possible? We are only a group!" Liu Zongyuan said in amazement.

"Liu Zongyuan, goodbye. Fang Shishi smiled slightly, looked at Luo Chen and said, "Senior Brother Luo, let's go! As he spoke, he walked in one direction.

"Well, okay. Luo Chen nodded, smiled at Liu Zongyuan, and walked over.

Zhong Lin and Zhong Rui glanced at each other, and followed quickly.

Liu Zongyuan looked at Fang Shishi's beautiful figure, a trace of unwillingness appeared on his face, his eyes turned to Luo Chen, and his face was also gloomy.

"Humph!"

Liu Zongyuan snorted, turned around and strode into the forest, disappearing.

......

"Senior Brother Luo, do you know why there are iron-backed horses here?" Fang Shishi said as she walked.

"I don't know. Luo Chen shook his head.

"I don't know. You must know the poems, tell us about them!" Zhong Lin hurriedly said.

Fang Shishi glanced at Zhong Lin and said, "The iron-backed horse has a trace of dragon horse blood. In fact, they are the descendants of Ryoma, but their bloodlines are weaker. ”

"Originally, there were no iron-backed 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 dragon horses around the volcanic lake, so they bought a large number of high-quality mares and put them in this forest, so that the dragon horses and these mares coordinated, and the first batch of iron-backed horses were born. ”

"Intersection?"

Zhong Rui listened, and two red clouds appeared on her pink face.

Fang Shishi was extremely indifferent, and continued: "This batch of iron-backed horses, the bloodline is naturally the purest, with half of the dragon horse 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, some are mated to ryoma, some are mated to ironbacks, and new ironbacks are produced, and the concentration of ironback bloodlines is naturally different. And there are also iron-backed horses, which are the product of the intermingling between iron-backed horses. Therefore, it is also an iron-backed horse, but the bloodline is extremely complicated. ”

"The ironback horse with the highest bloodline concentration is naturally the strongest, and the lower the bloodline concentration, the closer it is to an ordinary war horse!"

Zhong Lin said: "Then when we enter the forest, we will naturally look for the iron-backed horse with the purest bloodline!"

"Of course. Fang Shishi nodded, shook her head again, and said, "But it's not easy to do it." These iron-backed horses, in 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? Zhong Rui sneered.

Luo Chen 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 Iron Guard will change mounts unless the mount dies in battle. The relationship between the Iron Guard and the mount is extremely delicate.

Once the Iron Guard is killed or retired, the horse will be released back into the Ryoma Forest. As soon as Luo left Qixia City, his mount was put back here.

Such war horses will not accept someone else as their new master.

After all, the ironback horse has the blood of Ryoma, and has also inherited part of the arrogance of Ryoma.

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, ironback horse!" Zhong Lin 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 Shishi looked at it for a while and exclaimed.

Luo Chen 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 ironback horse.

"This war horse, any of you either?" asked Fang Shishi.

"I don't want to. Zhong Rui shook his head, "There must be a better one in it." ”

Zhong Lin said: "Since you like poetry, then you can try to accept it!"

"Senior Brother Luo, what do you say?" asked Fang Shishi.

Luo Chen smiled: "I'll take a look at it too!"

"Okay, I'll try it!" Fang Shishi nodded and walked gently towards the iron-backed horse.

Luo Chen and the three of them all stood in place and waited.

A smile appeared on Fang Shishi's face, and she walked gently towards the wild horse. The moment I saw this iron-backed horse...... She has an indescribable love for this iron-backed horse. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
