Section 53 Champion
Chapter 53
In another place quite far from Xingjian's location, Io and Lair were watching the game progress there.
Io's face became increasingly ugly and had become a little bit cyan.
"Waste! Waste!" He cursed in a low voice. It can be seen that the opponents of the competition were trying their best to stop Ashu Rufate. But the problem was that after such a long schedule and such a complex terrain test, the horses had become obviously tired. Or in other words, except for Ashu Rufate's "swift", the other horses were obviously tired.
This difference cannot be changed by personal riding. Perhaps other riders have more riding skills than Ash Rufate, but in horse racing, the horse factor is still much more important than the rider factor. No matter how good riding skills are, they will not be faster if the horse is tired. When Ash Rufate surpasses any horse, he will be repeatedly blocked and hindered by his opponent, but in the end, he relies on the difference in mount physical strength and repeatedly tried to surpass his opponent.
Now, he has begun to try to surpass the last horse, which is "gray hair". Io's face has turned blue. This piece of Dix's BMW is really worthy of the name of BMW, and it is worth more than 20,000 gold Oli. Because after such a long journey and complex terrain, it is now not showing any fatigue at all. On the contrary, it looks like a dragon and a tiger are striving for the first place. Compared with it, the "gray hair" has obviously revealed that it is exhausted.
If this continues, it will be sooner or later that the "gray hair" will be surpassed.
Fortunately, there was a cross-country race at this time, not an ordinary race. Otherwise, the winner would have been 100%. The characteristic of cross-country race is that the winner was difficult to decide before the end of the race. Because no matter how outstanding a horse is, it will be finished if it falls. It was precisely for this reason that Dix left the game sadly last year, and he didn't even have the chance to show off his mount ability.
"A bunch of waste, they can't even rule out an opponent!" Seeing that the White Horse and the Gray Horse were standing side by side and ranked first together, Io finally cursed.
At this time, the crowd around was making various sounds because of excitement. Some were shouting excitedly, while others were cursing the sky and the earth because of failed gambling, so no one cared about what Io said.
"Boss Io..." Lyle said cautiously. "It seems... those professional riders are also limited in ability."
"A bunch of waste!" Io cursed fiercely. In fact, this is a bit unfair, because in fact, the riders are doing their best. But no matter what, this is a horse racing rather than a fight, and each other's attack is absolutely not allowed. The riders compete under the eyes of countless spectators, and their every move is seen. If you want to step on the "gray area", it is natural to use some legal means to attack others, but these "legal means" are naturally impossible to be efficient means, and it is extremely rare to be able to be prepared by the other party.
Although "Gray Hair" tried its best to accelerate, the horse's endurance was too different. "Gray Hair" was already very tired, and it could not fight against the "swift" that was not tired at all. The two sides' equal state only lasted for a short time, and Ashu Rufate began to surpass each other.
"That horse is really good." Lyle exclaimed in a low voice. "Dix is really unlucky." In fact, Lyle originally had the plan to ride his own snow-green horse on the game, but in the end he had to give up because of the task assigned by Eo.
"Hmph!" Io looked at the distant stadium viciously. Most of the rocks had passed, and Ashu Rufate had regained the first place. His mount, the white elf war horse, still seemed energetic, with four hooves gushing. Continuously increasing the distance between him and the followers. If this was not an off-road competition, Eo could already leave. But he still had the last little hope in his heart, hoping that Ashu Rufate would miss his front hooves or step on the short side, so that all his previous efforts would be vain.
"Dear spectators, Ash Rufate has regained the first place again. It is really incredible endurance. Is this the strength of the elf war horse?" At this moment, even the commentator showed an amazing attitude. "However, he is about to end the rocky schedule. Next is the last section of the Jockey Club, and it is the only obstacle course that is completely artificially created. On the flat track, there are twenty-four artificial fences. There is no chance to go around, so you can only jump over. This is a severe test for the horse's physical strength, reaction and jumping ability..."
"Lyle, do we have a chance for the last move?" Io asked softly.
"I think there should be a great chance." Lyle said softly. "This is a genius idea... let the audience throw things at the horse."
"Haha." Io let out a few cold and cruel laughs.
"When a horse starts trying to jump over the fence, its rider must also concentrate on cooperating with the mount to deal with the obstacles in front of him." Lyle said these words completely flattered. But then again, 99% of people in this world eat this set, which is why people often say "wedding thousands of clothes, but not horses." "At this time, they cannot clone themselves to deal with attacks from the audience. Attacking with stones and juicy fruits... there is a great possibility that the horse will be scared, causing the jump to fail and causing the horse to fall and hurt. It would be even better to hit the horse in the head."
"The greater advantage is that it is difficult to investigate afterwards." Io sneered. "Even if you are really caught, you just need to say that you can't stand the excitement of the champion, so you throw it with fruit to congratulate you. Our sheriff will undoubtedly enforce the law impartially and handle this kind of thing correctly - criminals will be sent to prison for 15 days for the crime of disturbing public order, or pay ten gold coins as atonement money."
At this time, Ashrufate had already begun to reach the edge of the rocky land and was about to enter the last section of the road, and the second "gray hair" was left far behind by him. The position where Io and the others were no longer suitable for watching. Now the flow of people is gradually flowing - slowly moving to a position suitable for watching the last section of the race.
Most of the horse racing held in other places have one, two or three rewards, but there is only one winner in the spring racing in Bracian City. Except for the champion, everyone else is the loser. Only the champion can accept the prize, cheer and select the queen's privilege. No one else can get anything. This rule also leads to a result: the one who is most concerned about is always the leading one.
Asu Rufate was far ahead and rushed into the last section of the road. As mentioned earlier, this is actually a manually sorted track. However, in order to increase the difficulty of cross-country races, rows of railings were placed on the track. On the surface, this is very simple, but this difficulty is set for the state of the horse racing. Because the horses running here are already quite tired, and their reaction and jumping ability are much weakened. In this case, these obstacles seem easy to deal with, but the actual difficulty is not inferior to the previous section.
A considerable number of spectators were already crowded on the final section, waiting to appreciate the champion’s style. Most of them were not getting a good place on the top of the mountain, so they simply came here to wait and see the final result.
Ashu Rufate had already rushed to the first fence. His "swift" was obviously full of energy, and he jumped over with a dexterity. This outstanding move attracted a burst of cheers from the audience. Even those who knew nothing about the horse could see that the horse was still full of energy, and it would not be a problem to overcome these obstacles. In other words, Ashu Rufate was actually sure to win.
Ashu Rufate also proved this with practical actions. While keeping his original speed unchanged, he easily crossed multiple fences in succession. In terms of distance, Ashu Rufate had already pulled away at least fifty horses from the second place behind him. When he hurried here continuously, the "gray hair" had not yet run out of the rocks.
It seems that there is no doubt who the winner is. Ashrufate steadily and quickly jumped through several fences without any competitors.
The audience on both sides of the road were already cheering and congratulating him through the railings. There was already a turn ahead. As long as you turn this turn, Ashu Rufate could see the end.
However, the turn was also placed with a fence. Ashu Rufate rushed forward, and at the moment he rode his horse, he saw several objects flying out of the audience from the corner of his eyes.
Those things were almost calibrated for time, and took advantage of the moment before he jumped, and flew towards him accurately.
Before his reasoning made a correct analysis, his body took action first. One thing hit his leg, the other one brushed over his head, and two missed it, while his hand grabbed the two things flying towards the head of the mount in an urgent need.
"Swift" landed smoothly and completed this jump. Since it did not get the master's movements, its movements looked slightly suffocated, but this did not affect anything. It continued to rush towards the next fence.
Ash Rufate realized what was in his hand after a second. It was a juicy berries with thin skin. If these two things hit the horse's head just now, hit the edge of the eye and caused juice to splash, the horse might lose control.
He looked at the crowd, but there were many people at this turn and he could not see any suspicious people. He could not stop here, so he could only continue to move forward.
"&%¥#..." Io, who was eagerly looking forward to it, let out a series of curses. Because he was mentally prepared, he was one of the few people in the audience who could see clearly what was going on. He also saw Ash Rufate's skill, which was more agile than a monkey, and he actually grabbed the flying object of crisis in an urgent moment.
But no matter how Io cursed it, it was too late. Ashrufate jumped over several fences in a blink of an eye and approached the finish line. At this moment, the second place, "Gray Hair", had just begun to jump into the fence. Because the horse's physical strength was consumed a lot, the "Gray Hair" rider had to slow down to enhance the horse's jumping ability.
He jumped over two fences, and the third place "Snow" arrived. But at this time, a majestic horn sound suddenly echoed over the entire field. This sound clearly released the same information to all the contestants and all the audience-the champion of the off-road horse racing finally came.
Hearing this voice, the riders who were chasing the horses in the back were suddenly deflated. They slowed down their horses, and the horses that were chasing each other, have now become horses for a walk. The riders in the center (in fact, they didn't even finish the rocks) began to discuss with each other who won the championship of this horse race.
Chapter completed!
