Chapter 397: The road is narrow
Hua Bushi slowly walked to the sandalwood box, reached out and took out a wooden plaque from the box, glanced at it, and handed it to Deng Ran on the side. His face was calm, his demeanor was very casual, and he seemed to have not taken the lottery to heart at all.
Hai Hongzhu, who was standing under the stage, was carrying a heart, and her eyes were staring at Hua Bushi's actions without a moment.
When Baoliang was first trained at the "Yuelai Inn" that day, Hai Hongzhu had a lot of strength from stretching, massaging to lifting, and was once tired to exhaustion. The big brown dog is even more affectionate to her, every time she sees her, she shakes her head and tail, a good baby look, and Hai Hongzhu has already regarded Baoliang as her pet. Now that it is the official Zixiaotai Dog Fighting Conference, Hai Hongzhu is of course very nervous about the lottery that will decide the fate of this large pet.
Deng Ran took the wooden card handed by Hua Bushi, looked at it, and shouted loudly: "Bark Tianlou drew the No. 74 wooden card, according to the rules of the conference, this round should fight with the person who drew the No. 7 wooden card!"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a middle-aged businessman in the audience exclaim: "Ah, isn't No. 7 us!"
Hua Bushi turned his face to look, but he also knew that person, it was Chen Yuanxiang, the shopkeeper of the "Ruixiang Ji" boat company, and there was also the animal trainer Tang Yuan standing next to him, and the faces of these two people were very ugly.
On the same day, Cao Duyun and Hua Bushi's "Bark Sky Tower" opened a drinking party, and used Baoliang to fight the "Ruixiang Ji" fighting dog blast, this Chen shopkeeper repeatedly made it difficult and unwilling to fight, and then resorted to the trick of changing dogs in battle, and found the fierce beast Xiong Li to fight on his behalf, but in the end it was still narrowly defeated by Baoliang, who was very powerful.
As the saying goes, it's not that enemies don't get together, but I didn't expect that in the first round of the Zixiao Conference, the opponent drawn by Hua Bushi was "Ruixiang Ji" again!
"Ruixiang Ji" fighting dog blast, last year Zixiao ranked thirty-three, in the first round of the eighty fighting dogs to participate in the competition, this can be regarded as a powerful opponent, but Chen Yuanxiang and Tang Yuan have all seen Baoliang's majesty when he fought Xiong Li that day, and they really don't have much confidence in their own fighting dogs, at this time they are all sad faces, and they are almost about to cry.
Hua Bushi's face was expressionless, he just arched his hand at the shopkeeper Chen, and walked off the stage.
After the draw of lots for several participants in Zuihou, the opponents of all the dogs participating in the first round have been decided.
Deng Ran immediately announced that this round of forty competitions will be held in the order of the numbers drawn in the eighteen dog fighting arenas behind Lingyun Pavilion, and the animal trainers and fighting dogs of each family are invited to prepare.
With another burst of gongs and drums and the accompaniment of silk and bamboo music, the opening ceremony of the "Zixiaotai Dog Fighting Conference" was successfully completed.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ half an hour later, Hua Bushi was already standing next to the white marble fence of the dog fighting arena behind Lingyun Pavilion.
The eighteen standard dog fighting arenas built on the Zixiao Platform have a space of ten zhang square within the fence, and the ground is paved with terracotta and yellow sand, and the place where Hua Bushi stands is the position of the animal trainer who commands the dog fighting on the spot.
In the wooden cage beside him, Bao Liang was grinning with his teeth, his eyes showing a fierce light, and his two front paws kept scratching at the wooden board at the bottom of the cage, leaving claw marks one after another, and let out a low roar of "whining" from his throat.
The big brown-haired dog also came here in a carriage early in the morning, and waited in the cage for most of the morning, and was obviously a little helpless at this moment, and was in a hurry to come out and tear it up.
Hai Hongzhu was also on the side, reaching into the cage and stroking the shiny long hair on Baoliang's back, but her face was full of excitement.
Opposite the white marble fence, in the wooden cage on the other side of the field, there is a black-backed and long-nosed fighting dog, which is the wind of "Ruixiang Ji", the animal trainer Tang Yuan's face is cloudy, and the shopkeeper Chen standing on the side is even more sunk.
Dozens of spectators sat in the seats outside the fence of the venue to watch the fighting dogs.
As the first round of the Zixiao Conference, the participants in the competition are all fighting dogs ranked after 30 last year, such as the raccoon, the black python, the red fire and other really strong beasts have not yet appeared, it is the competition between Baoliang and the wind, which has become one of the most interesting battles in this round.
Since its opening, Vedic Sky Tower has become famous in recent months, and the Swift Wind ranked not bad in Zixiao last year, and many people are looking to see how this battle will turn out.
Both fighting dogs wore braces and claw gloves, and after a brief inspection, the dog on duty made a command to sound the gong, and the fighting dog officially began.
As soon as the gong sounded, the wooden cage opened, and Bao Liang barked, and jumped out of the cage door and jumped into the fence. It lowered its jaw, its big black eyes revealing a cold light, staring at the wind on the opposite side that had also jumped into the fence, its front legs slightly bent, and it posed as a jiashi that was ready to attack.
Hua Bushi stood on the ground, looking at the venue, but his face was a leisurely and relaxed expression. He didn't say a word and didn't give any instructions to Bao Liang.
If it was said that three months ago at the Yuelai Inn, he was not completely sure of Bao Liang's victory, and he also specially prepared the "Shengmeng Pill" to try to forcibly improve his strength, after three months of training, Bao Liang's strength is no longer what it used to be, in the opinion of this eldest young master, there will not be much suspense in this battle at all, and there is no need to use any drugs at all, and he does not even need to give orders to command.
On the contrary, Hai Hongzhu on the side shouted loudly, and kept cheering for Baoliang.
Baoliang's jiashi didn't last long, and with a four-legged kick, he had already pounced straight towards the opponent!
The wind did not show weakness, and almost at the same time jumped up to meet the attack, only to hear a "bang" sound, and the two fighting dogs collided firmly in the air, and then fell on the mud and sand at the same time.
Falling on the muddy floor, Baoliang rolled over, quickly got up, and once again struck Jiashi, while the wind also gnawed at his teeth and confronted Baoliang.
In the first round of the confrontation, the two fighting dogs fought evenly, and neither took advantage. At this time, the animal trainer Tang Yuan, who was standing by the fence opposite, was greatly relieved.
The breed of the black-backed fighting dog Swift is a mixture of a wolfdog from Middle-earth and a certain Dongying dog breed, and it is not very large, shorter than Baoliang, who has the bloodline of the "Tibetan mastiff". Because of its size, Liliang is not a strong point of the Wind, just like the meaning of its name "Wind", this fighting dog is characterized by speed and agility, which is much stronger than ordinary dogs.
It was precisely because of these two advantages that the wind was able to defeat some tall and powerful fighting dogs, and won the 33rd place ranking at last year's Zixiao Conference.
Shicai and Baoliang collided head-on, and the wind did not suffer an obvious loss, it can be seen that the liliang of the two fighting dogs is about the same, and the speed and agility of the wind will not be worse than the opponent, and the animal trainer Tang Yuan is naturally determined.
Tang Yuan didn't have much hope for this battle because of the strength of Baoliang's big victory over Xiong Li that day, and planned to admit defeat in time when he saw that the momentum was not good, so as not to injure the wind and affect the future events. However, at this time, he suddenly had some faith.
Since the big brown-haired dog on the other side is not as strong as expected, of course it is necessary to fight, and it is unknown whether he may have a chance to win.
The two fighting dogs in the field have been tested and attacked, and at this moment, they are staring at each other, circling and moving with each other, and they have not attacked again for a while, and a confrontation has been formed.
The crowd of people on the sidelines stared at the field with wide eyes, most of these people are also experts in dog fighting, and they are all the same as Tang Yuan at this moment, thinking that the strength of Baoliang and Hurricane is similar, and it is unpredictable whether the two will compete for the victory, and there will be a fight.
Among all of them, there is only one person who doesn't think so, and this person is the eldest young master Hua Bushi.
Baoliang's strength, no one can know better than Hua Bushi, and he knows that the reason why the two dogs collided just now was that they were evenly matched and not superior, just because Baoliang did not go all out. In the past month, Bao Liang has been fighting and training with the princess who is stronger than Liliang almost every day, and his tactical quality has been greatly improved, and he has learned to retain his strength, if it is not when it is necessary, it will not fight with all its might.
Today's Baoliang is no longer the original one who came up and rushed to the head of the green, under the training of Hua Bushi's various means, it not only improves its physical fitness, but also knows how to use wisdom in the fight, which also makes its strength far from the ordinary fighting dogs that only rely on animal instinct to fight each other!
The first pounce just now, Bao Liang has completed the temptation, it already knows how strong the black-backed dog on the opposite side is and how fast it is, and the only thing it has to do is to end the battle as soon as possible!
I saw that Bao Liang bent his body and gathered momentum, suddenly let out a long bark, kicked out of his hind legs, and jumped more than three feet high from the ground, and pounced on the black-backed fighting dog again!
At this time, the wind made a mistake. With its speed and agility, it was possible to avoid Baoliang's pounce, but the evenly matched impact not only blinded Tang Yuan and the audience on the sidelines, but the wind also misjudged Baoliang's liliang, because it did not dodge in the first place, and Baoliang's pounce was as fast as the wind, much faster than just now, and when it instinctively realized that something was wrong, it was already too late!
In the barking sound, the bodies of the two beasts collided again, and this time Liliang, who was in the wind, could not resist the momentum of Baoliang's full impact, and was immediately thrown to the ground, and his back hit the ground heavily, making a muffled sound. And Bao Liang opened his bloody mouth and bit the side of the wind's neck!
The huge gap in the strength of the two fighting dogs was not really revealed until this time!
Under Baoliang's bite, the wind struggled with all its strength to no avail, and the bite on the neck made it impossible for the black-backed fighting dog to make effective resistance. The braces couldn't stop Bao Liang's sharp teeth from piercing into the flesh of the blast, and it jerked up its jaws, sending the entire body of the blast into the air.
