Chapter 258: The Game Begins
After the intense and orderly work of the organizers, the first horse race is finally about to begin. After statistics and screening, there were a total of 10,000 runners in the first horse race, the sprint race. They were divided into groups of five and a group of two thousand, and the second group could only continue to run after the first group had finished running, so as not to cause confusion. This fairy lake can have more than forty miles in a week, and the fast horse can run in only a moment or so, and it is the worst horse, which can be completed in half an hour. If you can't finish running in half an hour, you don't have to continue competing.
Someone pulled up a line with coloured ropes at the starting line, and all the first group of horses stood on the line and jumped for it. With the sound of a gong, the colored ropes were lowered, and two thousand horses rushed out in unison, kicking up a cloud of dust. It was a spectacular scene. Some of them are beautiful and lively, and they also follow the team on horseback, but most people stay at the starting point and wait for the participating teams to come back in a circle, because the finish line is still here, and if you want to know the result of the race, you just need to stay at the finish line. All the horses are not grouped according to their number, but according to their strength, and the five lowest odds from the five families are divided into five groups. This is done so that the strength of each group is even and fairer. The seeded player in the first group is Su Lutu, who is in second place on the odds list, and the horse he rides is called the Lightning White Dragon Pony, which is a white horse as the name suggests, but it doesn't have dragon blood, it's just that.
The crowd of onlookers was blocked by ropes outside the runway, and everyone was elated and discussed. Whoever has made a bet holds the bet in his hand tightly, silently reciting the number he has bet, hoping for the blessing of the gods.
In order not to affect the Salha competition, Du Wu and the others let him take the opportunity to rest and recuperate, and they came to the game site to watch the game. After a quarter of an hour or so, I saw a white horse galloping on the other side of the fairy lake, and it was Su Lutu riding a lightning white dragon horse. Like a white bolt of lightning, the horse soared into the air with four hooves, and in the blink of an eye it was back to the starting point. Su Lutu slowly reined in the horse's reins and got off the horse. Someone had already taken the reins and taken them aside to rest, and the organisers of the race had taken note of his number and results, and the first group had been Sulutu and his Lightning White Dragon Horse.
After a while, the other runners returned to the starting point one after another, obviously they were much slower than Su Lutu, but they all finished the race relatively quickly, and some people had already recorded their results one by one.
In about half an hour, the first group was all finished, and there were no upsets, and all the runners in front were the players with higher marks. The top 100 will receive a small number plate and can participate in the next round of finals.
Du Wu and the others watched it with relish, and Du Wu asked Murong Feng what the strength of this first group was. Murong Feng told her that the strength of this group was relatively average, there were no particularly outstanding ones, and there were no particularly bad ones, and it seemed that there were a few horses that did not do their best. However, their horses are also average, and even if they exert their strength again in the finals, it is difficult to make a big difference. As for Sulutu's lightning white dragon horse, it is indeed a good horse. Su Lutu's riding skills are also excellent, and it can be seen from the posture of his horse that he can rise and fall with the horse's galloping, minimizing the weight of the horse, and is a master. However, Murong Feng asked himself that he could do it. There was not much fuss either.
The first group is over, and the second group is exactly the same as the first group, the seeded player in this group is the third largest player on the odds list, this person is very majestic, his horse is called Red Flame Beast, as the name suggests, a horse with a fiery red body.
