Chapter 49: I Don't Know How to Die (3)
Before Bai Wen ran to the middle of the section along the river, Zhang Li had already run to the end.
At the end is a wooden bridge that connects the subsequent stages across the river.
Zhang Li took the lead on the bridge. The wooden bridge is not wide and can only accommodate one rider. And most of the planks laid were old, there were some areas, there were too many breaks, and for the competition, the planks were reused and repaired.
There was a precedent of trapping a horse pit, and this time Zhang Li was cautious when crossing the bridge.
When he reached the end of the wooden bridge, a large hole appeared on the deck. With a regular mount, it is impossible to pass at all.
Zhang Li visually measured the distance, and only needed the Flowing Wind Leopard to run a short section to carry him and leap over.
"Why is there such a big pit in front of the bridge intact, but there is such a big pit in this section?" Thinking of the trap at the corner of the road before, Zhang Li guessed that there must be a cat in it, and he was vigilant in his heart, "There are traps! There must be traps here!"
"The pothole is so obvious, it's obviously intentional. Zhang Li sat on the Flowing Wind Leopard and looked carefully, "Judging from the laying of the wooden planks, this side of the pit is newly built, and the opposite side is still an old wooden plank. If you do it with your hands and feet, set traps, it must be with new planks. As long as I jump early, avoid this newly laid plank, and land on the old plank opposite, I will definitely avoid the trap!"
After making up his mind, Zhang Li restrained the Flowing Wind Leopard, took a few steps back, and suddenly accelerated forward, and jumped hard when he was about to step on the new board.
The Flowing Wind Leopard was really amazing, and it actually carried Zhang Li on its back, leaped a distance of four or five zhang, and landed on the opposite side of the pit.
Plop –
The Drifting Wind Leopard landed on the old plank, which old plank has an intact surface, but it has long since decayed, and it can't bear it at all. Falling into the water with a man and a leopard.
"This trap is really unguardable!" Zhang Li lamented in his heart, he could only swim in the river while watching Bai Wen chase after him, "Such a big pothole, I see how you come over!"
Bai Wen, who was riding a wildebeest, stopped at the edge of the pothole. After a little observation, he lifted more than a dozen wooden planks behind him, tiled them to the bridge deck of the pothole, and basically filled the pothole in front of him. He was worried about the decaying old wood, so he personally walked in front and explored the way for the wildebeest. Every step of the way is very careful.
After crossing the bridge, the race enters a mountainous section of the road, which is very difficult for wildebeest galloping. Moreover, there are many steep places in the mountain sections, and you have to work together to get through.
However, the Drifting Wind Leopard is almost unimpressed by the mountain sections, and no matter how steep it is, the Drifting Wind Leopard can climb over it, like a civet cat, and there is not much hindrance in its movement.
Zhang Li, who climbed out of the river, soon overtook Bai Wen on this journey.
In the mountainous section, the advantage of the Drifting Wind Leopard was in full swing, and despite tripped once by a hidden tripstring, the Drifting Wind Leopard was still four or five miles ahead of Bai Wen, who was in second place.
Riding a wildebeest in the mountains and stumbling, in a fit of anger, he actually abandoned his mount and performed the body technique in "Beast Fighting" by himself, like a lonely shadow, chasing forward.
Bai Wen, who abandoned the wildebeest, increased his speed by a large margin, and he was actually closing the distance between him and the Flowing Wind Leopard.
Zhang Li urged the Flowing Wind Leopard to speed up and run, but the Flowing Wind Leopard had consumed too much physical strength before, and its speed was already much worse than before.
By this point, the end of the course is already in sight, and the finish line is in sight.
Zhang Li was overjoyed, and an inexplicable excitement went straight to his head, and he kept beating the Flowing Wind Leopard vigorously with his leather whip. The Flowing Wind Leopard suffered pain and could only move forward.
The true qi in Bai Wen's body was activated with all his might, like a light smoke, and gradually chased in.
One mile······
300 meters······
200 meters······
100 meters······
Bai Wen is chasing closer and closer, but the Flowing Wind Leopard is getting closer and closer to the finish line.
"Be careful! there's a trap!" Bai Wen's voice suddenly exploded behind Zhang Li's ears.
Reflexively, Zhang Li actually strangled the Flowing Wind Leopard and wanted to check it out.
At this moment, a figure overtook the Flowing Wind Leopard, and its speed was extremely fast, setting off a violent wind and waves wherever it passed.
By the time Zhang Li realized that it was just a lie, Bai Wen had already crossed the finish line and won the first place.
"You actually lied to me! There is no trap at all!" Zhang Li, who then crossed the finish line, was extremely angry and accused Bai Wen of not lying to him.
"I said there are traps, but I'm just reminding you to be careful. Bai Wen held back a smile and almost choked back his internal injuries, "I didn't expect that General Zhang was too timid!"
In this game, he thought he had won beautifully. It's really a wonderful game where the weak beat the strong.
Ignoring the angry Zhang Li, Bai Wen was full of excitement and stood on the podium, waiting for Fei Shi to announce the results of the competition.
"After ruling, the first place in this mount competition is: the leader of the Dizi Battalion - Zhang Li's Flowing Wind Leopard!"
Bai Wen's smiling face froze instantly.
"Why?" Bai Wen was the first to cross the finish line, and it was obvious to all why he was not in first place. Confused, there are all the officers and soldiers watching the game.
"A cycling race is a race in which both riders and mounts participate and are completed. Although General Babin was the first rider to cross the finish line, his mount was long gone. Therefore, after the review and ruling of the generals, General Bai Wen's ranking was cancelled. The first place in this competition should belong to Zhang Li of the Dizi Battalion!" Fei Shi explained loudly to the officers and soldiers watching the competition from the podium.
"That's how it turned out!" the audience was in an uproar.
The happiest belongs to Zhang Li, who has a sense of pleasure of regaining. was originally in a state of extreme loss, but suddenly with the announcement of the results of the game, the excitement was inexplicable, and tears were about to fall.
The moment he picked up the trophy, Zhang Li finally couldn't help it, and made an acceptance speech with tears in his eyes: "Thank you to the head of Fei and the generals for their love, and at the same time thank you for the trust of all the officials and colleagues, and of course, the support of thousands of brothers, so that I can go to the end and win this competition! Thank you! Thank you! I will work harder, create better results, and give back to everyone!"
For the Flowing Wind Leopard, Zhang Li's eyes were full of approval. What the Flowing Wind Leopard brought to him this time was no longer the vanity displayed in his identity, but a real honor, and this kind of high-profile sense of honor was something he had never felt before! When Zhang Li's eyes swept over Bai Wen, he kept sending out provocative messages.
The Flowing Wind Leopard wearing the Splitting Wind Cloak is even more powerful, the leopard's head is raised high, looking contemptuously at the wildebeest herd not far away, enjoying the praise and cheers of tens of millions of people!
Bai Wen, who looked disappointed, looked sad and turned around to leave.
"General Bai, where are you going?" Zhang Li rode the upper wind leopard and stopped Bai Wen, "Why did you lose your wildebeest? For the Wind Leopard, that's a nice delicacy!"
"Aha-General Zhang, why are you here?" Fei Shi came with a group of high-ranking officers: "I'm looking for you everywhere to attend the celebration banquet! You know, you are the protagonist today! This game is really beautiful!"
Fei Shi praised the Flowing Wind Leopard again.
The commander of the legion personally invited, and Zhang Li, who was a subordinate, felt flattered, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and saluted Fei Shi. He didn't dare to say anything in his mouth, his expression was very modest, but his eyes were full of smugness, and he looked at Bai Wen unabashedly.
"This banquet has been specially prepared for you, and I have carefully selected a few of the best dancers for this purpose. Why don't you go and taste it with General Zhang?" Fei Shi said with a smile on his face, but his eyes stayed on the Flowing Wind Leopard. It's like a hot-eyed leopard, and he wants to please Zhang Li's face.
Zhang Li's heart moved, and he said to Fei Shi: "The last general has no choice but to be respectful rather than obey his fate!"
"Do you want General Bai together?" Fei Shi invited Bai Wen very casually. Anyone can see that this is just a superficial politeness.
"Forget it, I'm not going!" Bai Wen left angrily.
