Chapter 227: Ino
Feeling the chill that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, Qiushui hurriedly used Yuan Li, which barely resisted it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć At the same time, a hint of surprise appeared on the young man's face, and then he silently turned his head and looked away from Qiushui's body.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Qiushui suddenly stunned in place, Uncle Xiang reached out and patted him on the back, and asked in a concerned tone.
"It's fine. Qiushui came back to his senses and laughed dryly at Uncle Xiang. Looking closely, a layer of fine sweat was oozing from his forehead, and the first confrontation between the two was actually even better than that young man.
"Uncle Xiang, what is the origin of this person, I don't think he looks like a member of the Xin'an tribe. Qiushui turned his head and asked puzzled.
"It all started with a snowstorm a few years ago. You must know that on this ice field, blizzards are a common thing, but that time, both the intensity of the blizzard and the duration of the blizzard, can be called a once in a thousand years. The entire Zhuoma Mountain Range was covered with ice and snow, and even the guards specially sent by the Ice Emperor to support them could not step into this place. This went on for seven or eight months, and the two of us barely escaped by hiding in a hidden cave. Soon after, the child appeared in the territory of the Xin'an tribe, where he came from nowhere and who he was. The Xin'an people saw that he was still young, and his divine power was far beyond ordinary people, so they took him in and named him Ino. Since then, in the competition of the Menglan Festival, our Tagan tribe has never won again. Uncle Xiang raised his head, as if to tell a distant story.
"Ino...... It's exciting. Qiushui muttered, a smile on the corner of his mouth.
After a half-day carnival, the much-anticipated martial arts competition finally began. The venue is circular and 100 meters in diameter, and in order to ensure the safety of others, a wooden fence more than half a person high is enclosed on all sides. I saw that hundreds of people from the two ethnic groups surrounded the entire competition venue tightly, and the crowd was full of people for a while, so it was not lively.
"Come on, come on, bet, buy the Tagan clan for one hundred and lose 100, everyone hurry up!" a tall man of the Xin'an tribe shuttled through the crowd, holding a wooden basin in his hand, and shouted around from time to time. Wushan recognized him as the one who had come to take the lead in the provocation that day, and immediately snorted coldly and swaggered in front of him.
"You, what are you doing...... There are so many people here, don't mess around!" The tall man saw Wu Shan coming over menacingly, and immediately took a few steps back, looking at him with a wary face. Wu Shan smiled, didn't speak, and directly stretched out a fist at the tall man, and then in his stunned gaze, he threw a few silver coins into the wooden basin.
"I buy the Tagan to win. With that, Ushan turned around and left.
"Fool, give money for nothing. The tall man cursed in a low voice, glancing at the coins in the tub, curling the corners of his mouth, and then taking a step forward and continuing to shout through the crowd.
The sound of gongs and drums sounded, and in the expectant eyes of everyone, Uncle Xiang slowly walked to the middle of the competition platform, then coughed and said in a loud voice: "Compatriots of the two ethnic groups present, today is the annual Menglan Festival, we are very happy to stand here to celebrate this grand festival together, and enjoy the upcoming martial arts competition." The tournament is a precious treasure left to us by our ancestors, and we uphold the spirit of inheriting and carrying forward, with the premise of not hurting the harmony between the two tribes, and aiming to enhance the friendship between the two races......"
"Stinky old man, don't talk so much nonsense, let's get started!" the Xin'an people on the side coaxed. Uncle Xiang showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, then coughed and continued: "Next, please invite the representative of the Xin'an clan, Yinuo to play!"
With a deafening cheer, Ino slowly walked out of the crowd and then came to the center of the tournament platform. His face was still unwavering, and there was a hint of indifference in his dark blue eyes, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. The cheers continued for a long time, and even some of the Tagan people looked at the field with excitement, which surprised Qiushui.
"Next, please invite the representatives of the Tagan tribe, Autumn Water Field!"
For a while, the people on the field quieted down, and many people looked left and right, showing a confused look, as if they felt quite unfamiliar with the name. Qiushui squeezed through the crowd, and then hurried to the jousting platform. Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, Qiushui was a little at a loss for a while, so he had to stand in place.
Suddenly, a round ......of applause rang out on the sidelines. When I turned my head, it turned out to be Xiao Di. I saw her clapping her little hands and grinning at Qiushui, revealing a missing front tooth. Immediately afterwards, Wushan also began to clap his hands, leading the surrounding Tagan people to applaud together. The applause became more and more enthusiastic, even surpassing Ino's appearance just now.
Uncle Xiang raised his arms, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Finally, allow me to introduce the rules of the competition." In this competition, no life shall be injured, and the following three situations shall be regarded as losing the game. First, take the initiative to admit defeat, second, the body crosses the fence, and third, fall to the ground and lose the ability to move. Do you understand, two players?"
Qiushui nodded, then looked Eno up and down in front of him with his eyes. From this guy, he felt a sense of oppression. This sense of oppression does not come from a disparity in strength, but something deeper that is difficult to express in words. However, Qiushui is not afraid of him, since he has been promoted, he has not fought against anyone, and when he encounters such a strong opponent, his heart is also quite excited.
"You're a lot better than the guys before. Eno said suddenly.
Qiushui was stunned for a long time, and it took a long time to understand that he was referring to Wushan, and then said with a smile: "Then what should I do, do you want to take the initiative to surrender?" I saw Ino shake his head and never speak again.
"Patriarch Huang, it seems that this competition will still be won by our Xin'an clan. The Thunder Patriarch stroked his beard and let out a thunderous laugh.
"Not necessarily, let's just enjoy it quietly. Huang Xuan narrowed her eyes and stared closely at the autumn water on the field. She can feel that compared with the previous few days, this kid's strength has obviously risen to a higher level, so it may be really difficult to say who will end this competition.
Seeing that the two of them were ready, Uncle Xiang turned around and left the competition platform and walked to the leather drum on the side. I saw him raise the drumstick and beat the drum surface vigorously, making bursts of sound, announcing the beginning of the competition.
"Come on!" Qiushui shouted, and the Tiansha in his hand suddenly emitted a dazzling red light, and then shot towards Ino.
