The two horses with outstanding physique, one red and one black, seemed to have just entered the arena and began to compete.

Perhaps, like the dragon and phoenix among people, it is also a rare blessing for a horse to meet a real opponent.

In the course of hundreds of paces, the two horses gradually increased their speed along the outer circle, but it was obvious that this point of the field was completely insufficient for them to play, and the two sides slowed down from time to time, deliberately keeping their distance. Just like the martial arts masters who are about to start fighting, they must first test each other carefully.

The roar of horses, the sound of hooves, and the continuous splashing of snow after the horses' hooves stepped on it, the atmosphere in the arena heated up again.

Rangers are good at bowstrings, and without the escort of bows and arrows, even if they are as strong as a ranger warrior, it is difficult to survive in the harsh northern wilderness grasslands.

Rangers are inseparable from horses, they hunt and graze, and live in the grass, horses are not only the best foot strength, but also loyal comrades.

But the comrade-in-arms of the dark cloud horse does not seem to be particularly reliable, it has a heavier mind to play, carrying Xiang Bei to run, but from time to time it is fast and slow, forcing the fire dragon foal on the opposite side to change, which makes the fire dragon foal gradually lose patience, and wants to suddenly exert force and surpass the black charcoal once, but he did not succeed for a while.

A few laps have passed in the blink of an eye, and although Black Carbon is very restless from bouncing, he is not inferior to the fire dragon horse in terms of momentum.

The magistrate in the centre of the field waved his hand to stop the two horses, and the spectators saw Wo Bee come forward to whisper a few words to him, and the magistrate's face immediately showed a look of surprise.

Finally, the magistrate ran to King Zheda's side and whispered again.

Zheda also frowned, and looked at the field with a little hesitation, and the second prince in the field suppressed the fire dragon horse who was constantly digging the soil with his front hooves, and was also staring at Zheda tightly.

As if he had made up his mind, he finally waved his hand, and the magistrate took the order and announced loudly to the surrounding people:

"The battle of riding is not only a test of the rider's riding skills, the horse's speed and endurance, but also the tacit understanding between the rider and the horse. ”

This nonsense made everyone outside the stadium a little confused, and they didn't know what the magistrate meant.

"So this riding competition—" The referee paused for a moment, observing the movement around him, "to see who can retrieve the Bloodstone of the Thousand Army Tomb first." ”

"Buzz~" There was an uproar outside the venue.

The Thousand Army Mound is a barren valley hundreds of miles away from the Talgar camp. At that time, the Great Xia Demon General Tiankui Hou pursued the Ranger Ancestor all the way to this point, and the two sides fought a decisive battle here.

At that time, although the rangers were defeated, the main force still existed, and there was no way to retreat here. Therefore, the rangers prepared all their forces and set up an ambush in this valley, trying to reverse the decline in a battle and annihilate the lone and outnumbered pursuers of Great Xia.

Unbeknownst to him, Tiankuihou was here, leaving a new nightmare for the ranger warriors.

He seemed to have seen through the strata's plan, so he took the plan as he could, using his general's camp as bait, and ordered all the generals above the rank of Zhonglang to break into the barren valley, attracting the main force of 50,000 rangers to attack.

The general camp immediately set up a defensive position on the spot, and 3,000 people relied on each other, desperately resisting the surprise attack of 50,000 people, and the 20,000 Daxia iron cavalry left on the periphery cut off all the retreat routes of the rangers, coupled with the unique firearms battalion of the Great Xia Kingdom to encircle and attack according to the situation, a big battle, although the 3,000 people of Daxia lost more than half of the official camp, but the 50,000 ranger warriors became tens of thousands of human heads rolling to the ground, and more than 10,000 prisoners of war who were forced to bury these heads with their own hands.

The Thousand Army Tomb is a forbidden place for the Ranger Country, because the Thousand Army Tomb is safe for all souls.

Bloodstone is a unique original stone of the Thousand Army Mound. The stone is as red as blood, and it is produced in the ghostly Thousand Army Mounds, so the rangers are in awe of the bloodstone.

Wobetai saw the black charcoal under Xiang Bei's crotch. Knowing that black charcoal is not an ordinary thing, he decided to increase the difficulty and specially requested to retrieve the bloodstone of the Thousand Army Tomb as a token of victory.

As soon as he heard the new rules, the county lord of Zhaojin was the first to jump out, "No, I don't agree!"

The magistrate hurriedly put on a smiling face, "Oh, I just had to ask King Zheda, and I forgot to ask Lord Zhaojin." I wonder what the county lord thinks?"

"Qianjun Mound is a forbidden place for our rangers, and he ......" Zhao Jin originally wanted to say that Xiang Bei was from the Great Xia country, but after thinking about it, if Hasuya knew about it, Xiang Bei and Su Su were both foreign aid from Great Xia that she had invited, and I was afraid that she would not recognize the result of this heavenly decision.

Zhao Jin rubbed his forehead, "You see that it has just snowed, and the Thousand Army Tomb is a hundred miles away, I'm afraid that the players will get lost." ”

Wobetai seemed to have grabbed Zhao Jin's handle, "What is the county lord of Zhao Jin worried about, a real rider will not get lost on the grassland, besides, if he gets lost, it is a test for a qualified rider." ”

Zhao Jin was angry, but he couldn't find the words to refute for a while, and his little face was flushed.

Su Su saw Zhao Jin's uneasiness on the side, presumably there was a hidden secret, so he asked Zhao Jin what the bloodstone of the Thousand Army Tomb was.

After she listened to the introduction of the county lord Zhaojin, she couldn't help but start worrying.

"When the men of our Ranger Nation reach adulthood at the age of eighteen, they will be asked to go to the Thousand Army Tomb to find a bloodstone of their own. I will not forget the humiliation of my riding ancestors. ”

Su Su understood that the county lord of Zhaojin was worried that Xiang Bei didn't know the way, but he couldn't say that Xiang Bei was not from the Talga tribe, and he didn't know where the Qianjun Tomb was.

"Your brother Xiangbei is only sixteen, and it is normal that you haven't been to Qianjun Tomb according to your rules. Su Su reminded Zhao Jin.

Only then did Zhao Jin come back to his senses, yes, Xiang Bei has too many reasons not to know about Qianjun Mound, this competition is really unfair to him.

Zhao Jin stretched out his arms and stood in front of the Fire Dragon Pony and the Dark Cloud Horse, "Our Talgar riders haven't been to the Thousand Army Tomb yet, this race is unfair to us. ”

"Oh?" said Wobetai as he remembered that this would be the case, "but with our foot strength, there is really no point in running laps. ”

"Then it's up to the second prince. Xiang Bei listened to Zhao Jin's introduction of the bloodstone of the Thousand Army Tomb, but he was a little curious, and even the black charcoal under his crotch nodded again and again, as if he understood Xiang Bei's words, and he was extremely excited.

"Don't worry, if you don't know the way, I can take you there, and it's not too late for us to race back. Wobetai said with a relaxed face, and this kind of visceral confidence made people feel as if he had won.

The second prince did not recognize the young man in front of him who was wearing Talga's robe, felt hat, and leather boots as the young man in Yecheng who helped Su Su shoot an arrow into the eye of Yeqi. Of course, at that time, his eyes were all on Su Su.

Zhao Jin still wanted to stop it, but before the magistrate gave an order, the two tall horses could no longer hold back, rushed towards the exit of the crowd, and disappeared from everyone's eyes in an instant.

Zhao Jin greeted quickly, "You go, bring a few people to protect ......" Zhao Jin thought for a moment, "Protect Tianma." ”

Looking at Talga's movements on this side, on the other side, the second prince's riders also sent a few Hasua cavalry to follow.

Originally, during this time, Xiang Bei accompanied the county lord of Zhaojin to ride a horse to relax, he thought that he was familiar with the terrain around the camp, and he inexplicably remembered the bows, horses, bamboo arrows that Wobetai gave to Su Su in Yecheng, so he didn't want to retreat in front of Wobetai.

However, when he got out of Talga's camp, Xiang Bei found that everything was not the same as he imagined, the whole world outside the camp was all white, with the original mountain valley, the thick white snow piled up to rise and fall in a gentle curve, even if it was a tall Pegasus like the dark cloud horse, it was blocked by the kneeless snow.

The situation in Wobetai is better, after all, he is more familiar with the blizzard in the Northern Wilderness.

The dragon's brocade-like mane, like a real flame against the snow, struggled forward under the command of its master, even though it was deep in the snow with every step, but it was unwilling to slow down.

Xiang Bei commanded his own black charcoal, and he couldn't surpass the fire dragon horse for a while, so he honestly followed behind the nest table, of course, what made the dark cloud horse even more excited was that it followed the fire dragon horse on the one hand, and deliberately stepped on the hoof prints left by the fire dragon horse on the thick snow, which was originally for fun, but it accidentally saved a lot of effort.

The two teams of horses that were ordered to follow the protection behind them, because the horses were generally not as tall as the dark clouds, although they also followed the hoof prints left in front, but the snow had no longer covered most of the horses' legs, and the horses struggled to move forward, gradually losing the back of the runner in front of them.

Wobetai turned around from time to time to look at the opponent behind him, and found that Talga's black charcoal had not fallen, and nodded appreciatively, and when he took over Zheda's southern expeditionary grain horse, he must bring this person under his command.

Xiang Bei didn't think about it so much. He just saw that the sky was about to get dark, and the fire dragon horse in front of him was still moving forward at high speed, although the black charcoal was still quite competitive and was not left behind, but after dark, he looked around at the vast white snow as far as the eye could see, if he didn't follow, he was afraid that he would get lost.

What's even worse is that the oncoming north wind is getting stronger and stronger. And the snowflakes mixed in the wind are getting thicker and thicker. Even Xiang Bei, who was unfamiliar with the Northern Wilderness, knew that another snowstorm was coming.

"Talgar's boy, keep up. If you lose it, don't run around, just wait for me where I am, and I'll take you back when I get back. ”

Wobeitai's arrogance made Xiang Bei very angry, but this guy didn't seem to be pretending to be fake, if he really lost it, maybe he should really do what he said.

Xiang Bei thought about it, and at the same time clamped the black charcoal under his crotch, "No! Since I promised Zhao Jin that I would go all out, as long as I have the opportunity, I will continue to fight." ”

The two leading war horses marched forward against the blizzard, throwing the team behind farther and farther away, and the speed should gradually grow, because the wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger, and the traces left by Xiang Bei on the ground are getting shallower and shallower.

Finally, the four hooves of the fire dragon horse slowed down, the wind and snow in the sky had blown so hard that people and horses could not open their eyes, and the black charcoal did not fall far away, Xiang Bei saw that the second prince had to jump off the horse and lead the fire dragon horse to continue to move forward.

At this time, looking around, the sky has completely darkened, except for the wind and snow that constantly hit the face, the whole world seems to be only a void.

Seeing that Xiang Bei and Hei Tan were also desperately persevering, and had no intention of backing down, Wo Beitai simply slowed down and waited for the opponent to come forward.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of this storm tonight, and if we don't find a place to shelter from the cold, I'm afraid we won't have to play tomorrow. Wobetai said seriously, not jokingly, and because of the wind and snow, Xiang Bei's ears were almost sealed by the whistling wind, and Wobetai had to approach Xiang Bei again and again, shouting loudly.

"I'm not familiar with this place," Xiang Bei didn't hide his weakness, "I'll just follow you." ”

Wobettai nodded, "Then fight again tomorrow." ”

So, Wobeitai pulled the fire dragon horse and no longer ran straight to the Qianjun Tomb, but turned around and walked towards a snow nest, where the centaurs hid in the snow nest, not only could they have a good rest, but also in the snow nest, they could withstand the ferocious wind and cold.
