Yan Yan stood up. Although the Yalian tribesman was strong, his stature was much shorter than Yan Yan. Looking at his appearance, Yan Yan could not help but take a step back. Yan Yan said: "Brother, we are just passing by here. Excuse me, where are you?
Where have all the people gone? Have they all gone to herd?"
The Yalian people had recovered from the surprise, grinned, and said, "Don't you know what kind of grazing is going on today? Today is the Batulu Festival of our Yalian people. The festival celebration is about to begin, and everyone is running away.
We went to celebrate, of course there will be no one here. We gathered there together with several nearby tribes. I came back to get something, otherwise, you won’t see anyone. The celebration is about to begin,
Foreigners, would you like to go and see it together, it’s very lively.”
Several people gathered around, and Dumb asked: "Brother, what does the Batulu Festival mean?"
The man said: "You don't even know this. Batulu means warrior in the ancient language of our Yalian tribe. Therefore, this festival is also called the Warriors Festival. Each tribe will select warriors from their own tribe to participate.
Today’s celebration, whether you want to go or not, I will go there as soon as possible. The Batulu Festival happens once a year and is one of the most important festivals of our Yalian people."
Xuan Yue said excitedly: "I want to go, I want to go, we want to go and have a look. Just take us there."
When the Yalian people saw Xuan Yue's pretty face, their eyes suddenly lit up and they praised: "Little girl, you are so beautiful! My name is Tubari, and you are welcome to participate in our festival."
Yan Yan and Yan Li looked at each other. They had already heard that the Yalian tribe’s Batulu Festival was very interesting and was the largest celebration of the Yalian tribe. Since they caught up with it this time, there was nothing wrong with taking a look, not to mention them.
I still want to buy horses from the Yalian tribe. "Brother, please lead the way. We foreigners will go to your celebration, won't we cause you any trouble?"
Tubari laughed and said: "How could it be? Our Yalian tribe likes to make friends the most. Since you are here, you are our friends." At this time, a low horn sound suddenly came from the distance, and his face changed.
He said: "We have to hurry over. The celebration is about to begin." After saying that, he greeted the four people and quickly ran to the east.
Several people looked at each other and hurriedly followed. The most excited one was Xuan Yue, she was always so full of curiosity about novel things.
The four of them followed Tubari through the herds of cattle and sheep, and immediately saw an unusually spectacular sight. The oasis was located on a higher ground, so they didn't notice what it looked like just now. As soon as they passed through the herds of cattle and sheep, they suddenly saw mountains and plains covered with mountains and plains.
The people of the Yalian tribe are divided into three parts. Their attire is very simple. Many young people of the Yalian tribe are shirtless and shouting constantly. Most of them are riding on tall horses, with excited smiles on their faces.
In the center of the Yalian people, there is a large empty space. Around the empty space, there are fires. On each fire, a whole cow or a whole sheep is roasted. The aroma of meat is constantly coming, which makes Ah-Dai and others not to fast.
Big move.
Tubari said: "Let's go over. It's about to start. I belong to the northern tribe, just in the north. The other two are the southern tribe and the eastern tribe. Although our three tribes are not very popular among the Yalian tribe,
They are powerful, but because of the close relationship between the tribes and the occupation of this oasis, life is still very good." After saying that, he led everyone to the Yalian tribe on the north side. The Yalian tribe did not panic because of their appearance.
They were too surprised, and everyone who saw them showed a simple smile and looked welcoming.
The horn sounded, and the tens of thousands of Yalian people suddenly fell silent. From the three Yalian tribes in the north, east, and south, more than a dozen fast horses rushed out and ran towards the center like lightning. When the three teams
When the man and the horse were about to collide, the knights on the horse made a movement to rein in the horse at the same time. Dozens of fast horses stood up almost at the same time and stopped amidst the horses' neighing. The superb riding skills are amazing.
Dumb thought to himself, no wonder people say that the light cavalry of the Yalian tribe are very powerful.
Yan Li clasped his palms and looked eager to try. Among the Puyan tribe, his riding skills were very famous. When he saw these Yalian tribesmen who were good at equestrian skills, he suddenly felt itchy.
Three teams of people gathered in the center of the open space, and the surrounding Yalian tribesmen shouted at the same time. The atmosphere was extremely lively. The leaders of the three teams of people were all in their forties. They raised their sabers high and shouted together with their knights.
What are you wearing?
After a while, the shouting stopped, and the leader on the north side shouted loudly: "Brothers and sisters, today is the annual Batulu Festival of our Yalian tribe, and it is also the festival where our warriors are born. A year of hard work has passed.
Our Yalian tribe has produced many new warriors..."
Tubari explained to the four people: "This is the chief of our tribe. Among the three tribes, our tribe is the most powerful. The Batulu Festival is divided into two parts. The first one is various forms of competitions.
In the end, the warriors of each tribe will be selected. The last one is a complete carnival. Only today, we, the Yalian tribe, do not have to work or graze, and everyone can have fun. There are three main competitions in the front, namely riding.
, wrestling and archery. Are you interested in participating?"
Shi Yan was stunned and said, "Can we also participate?"
Tubari smiled and said: "Of course. Our Yalian tribe respects those who have the ability the most, and there are rewards in competitions. The reward for the riding competition is two horses. The reward for the wrestling competition is the best, if you win
Players can choose any unmarried girl they like over the age of 18 from the three tribes to marry home as their wife, so the competition is the most intense. Many young people want to show off to everyone at this time, not only to win reputation but also to
At the same time, he will win the heart of his beloved. The reward for the archery competition seems to be money, I heard it is as much as fifty gold coins."
As soon as they heard about the reward for the horse, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. Yan Li couldn't wait to say: "I, I want to participate in the riding competition. Brother, please take me to sign up."
Tubari laughed and said: "Brother, I didn't see your horse!"
Yan Li was stunned and said embarrassedly: "My horse didn't come, it's such a pity. Alas -" he lowered his head with an annoyed look on his face.
Tubari smiled heartily and said: "It doesn't matter, let's do this. I will lend you my horse. If you can win the competition, you will also bring glory to me."
Yan Li was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Okay, thank you very much, brother."
Tubari took Yan Li to pick a horse and sign up. Yan Li shook his head and said, "What a boy! He gets carried away when he hears there is a horse race." In the Puyan tribe, almost every time there was a horse race, Yan Li would definitely be there.
Will participate.
Xuan Yue giggled and said: "If Brother Yanli wins, we can have horses to ride without spending money. Isn't it just right?"
At this time, the leaders of the three tribes in the field were holding some kind of ceremony. Ah-Dai and others couldn't understand it. Ah-Dai's energy was basically focused on those fragrant barbecues. Eating was always the most important thing to him.
One of the things. Although Yan Yan has been in a much cheerful mood these days, he still rarely talks. After the disaster of his wife's death, he seems much more stable. At this time, he is focusing on the three chiefs in the center of the field.
Xuan Yue was the most excited among the three. She kept looking around, feeling the festive atmosphere of the Yalian tribe, and was indescribably happy.
After a while, Tubari came back, "Brother Yanli's riding skills are really good! From the first glance, he seems to know a lot about horses. He picked the best horse in my family. I hope he can win this competition."
Dumb asked: "Brother Tubari, how will the riding competition be held?"
Tubari said: "It's actually very simple. Go east from here, ten miles away, and there is a red flag. Whoever gets it first and brings it back wins. Although the rules are simple, the actual competition is difficult.
It's great. Even if you can successfully get the red flag, you may not be able to survive the pursuit and interception of other competitors. Therefore, the first person to get the red flag may not be the winner. I participated once five years ago and ended up with the red flag.
I didn’t even see any shadow, haha.”
Tubari's humility made the three of them have a good impression of him. Ah-Dai had seen Yanli's riding skills, and said with confidence: "Brother Yanli can definitely do it. He is the best riding person I have ever seen."
Tubari laughed and said: "I hope so. The riding competition will not start until a while. I will take you to have some fun. There are archery competitions and wrestling competitions over there. Let's go and have a look."
Sure enough, several open areas have been surrounded in the empty field. The largest one has ten arrow stacks, all five hundred meters away. The rest of the area is occupied by dozens of wrestling venues. The archery competition of the Yalian people is
It depends on the accuracy, while the wrestling competition is more complicated. Anyone can participate. As long as three people fall down in a row, they can participate in the next round until the only winner is determined in the end. The three people were led by Tubari.
He stepped down and walked into the open space. Due to the large number of people watching the battle, Ah-Dai was afraid that Xuan Yue would be missed, so he took her little hand and protected her in his arms.
As expected, there were the most people on the wrestling competition side. There were three floors inside and three outside, so it was difficult to squeeze in. The body odor of the Yalian people with the smell of cattle and sheep made it difficult for the three of them to adapt. Rock said to Tubali: "We still
Go to the archery place, there are too many people here."
Tubari smiled sheepishly and said: "Yes! Who doesn't hope that he can become a warrior and win a beauty? These young people are like this." As he said this, everyone squeezed out of the crowd and came not far away.
The archery competition venue. There are much fewer people here. There is only a black spot on the arrow stack 500 meters away. Not to mention that it is difficult to aim. Even if you draw the bow and shoot, it is very difficult. It can reach a straight line of 500 meters.
It is difficult for even those with high fighting spirit to draw a long range bow. Therefore, those who participate in the competition usually choose a bow with a relatively small pulling force and use a parabola to hit the target. Although there are few people participating here, everyone is good at it.
The master of archery pounces on the arrow stack in the distance like locusts.
Tubari explained: "There seem to be less than fifty people participating in the archery competition this year. Each person has ten arrows in the first round, and the remaining ten people with the most accurate shots will participate in the second round to compete for the final winner."
At the beginning, do you want to go and have some fun?" As he said that, his eyes fell on the rock. The rock was tall and powerful at first glance. Tubari also wanted to see what these outsiders were capable of. But
, to his surprise, Rock shook his head, as if he was not interested in the game.
On the contrary, Xuan Yue's interest was aroused. She kept shaking Ah-Dai's hand and said, "How about you go and try it? The reward can be fifty gold coins."
Dui scratched his head and hesitated: "But, but Yueyue, I don't know how to shoot! It's impossible to get any reward." Indeed, he had never even touched a bow, let alone shot an arrow.
Xuan Yue refused to give up and said: "No one is born with the ability to do everything. If you don't try, how will you know that you are not good at it? Just try it. Just treat it as a fun. If you can't draw the bow, you will want to try it."
Try it."
Tubari smiled and said: "That's right, little brother, you go and try it. Archery is actually very simple. You just need to aim at the target, don't let your hands shake, and shoot the arrow."
Dumb didn't want to participate at first, but he suddenly remembered the way Xuan Yue felt aggrieved because of lack of money. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll participate. Brother Tubari, please take me to sign up."
Xuan Yue's decision immediately made Xuan Yue excited, she clapped her hands and said, "Ah-Dai is the best, you can definitely do it."
Rock smiled slightly, patted Ah-Dai on the shoulder, and said: "Brother, you can pick the heaviest bow later. The heavier the bow, the bigger the bow, the more stable the arrow will be, and the better it can keep a straight line."
Ah-Dai agreed and hurriedly followed Tubari. Registration for the archery competition was very simple, just register a name and receive a number. The Yalian people did not make things difficult for Ah-Dai because he was a foreigner, but encouraged him to participate.
There are a total of forty-seven contestants, so Ah-Dai is No. 48. The preliminary rounds have already gone through four rounds, and Ah-Dai has finished registering, just in time for the final round.
Tubari took Dumb to pick out bows and arrows. In order to prevent cheating, contestants in the archery competition were not allowed to bring their own bows and arrows. This was mainly to prevent someone from buying magic bows at high prices to enhance accuracy.
Looking at the dozens of hard bows, Ah-Dai couldn't help but be stunned, not knowing which one to choose. Tubari was not a contestant and could not come to help him. He had already retreated to Xuan Yue and Rock, and was watching him not far away.
, yelling at him to come on.
Dui picked up a bow casually. In his hand, the bow seemed to be weightless. He remembered that the rock had just told him to choose the heaviest bow. He suddenly had an idea in his mind. He picked up each bow and weighed it.
He found that the farther back he went, the heavier the bow became. At this time, the referee was already a little impatient and shouted: "No. 48, hurry up. The game is about to begin."
Ah-Dai hurriedly agreed, ran to the last row, picked up a dark hard bow and ran towards his target position. As soon as he got this bow, Ah-Dai felt very satisfied, although the bow was not very big, compared with other hard bows
It is smaller, but its weight seems to be heavier than his Gang Sword. The bow body and bow string are both dark, and there is nothing special about it on the surface.
The referee looked at Dumb who ran to the target in surprise, and said in shock: "Young man, don't you want to use this black iron bow? It weighs two hundred kilograms, and it is not easy to pull it open."
Dumb looked at the stiff bow in his hand and said, "I, let me try it, maybe it will work." He had no confidence in his archery skills at all, so he could only listen to the opinions of the rock.
The referee nodded and said: "Well, I also want to broaden my horizons. I have never seen anyone who can pull this bow." Even the strongest warrior of the Yalian tribe can only pull this bow.
It's just a curve, and the weight of the bow itself is quite terrifying. Without the strength of more than 500 kilograms in the hand, it is impossible to lift it horizontally. As for pulling it open, no one can say how much strength is required.
"When the competition begins, everyone please shoot out the ten arrows in your hand within twenty minutes."
Although Duan was stupid, he had seen Yue Ji archery, and he knew how to recognize the buckle and fill the string. He pulled out a long arrow from the quiver, put it on the bowstring, stood firm with his legs in front and back, and slowly raised it
The black iron bow in his hand. Xuan Yue's cheering sound kept coming, and Ah-Dai felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to be boiling. The weight of two hundred kilograms was nothing to him, and he easily lifted the black iron bow in his hand.
At a position parallel to the shoulder, his arm did not tremble at all. The index finger, middle finger, and ring finger of his right hand rested on the bow string and slowly pulled back. Once he pulled the bow string, he understood why the referee just told him that the bow was difficult to draw. The bow string
His toughness and hardness are very strong. Without using Shengsheng Qi, he can only pull it into a half arc with his strength. But even so, the referee and other players around him still looked at him in surprise.
I have forgotten that I am competing.
Even without using Shengsheng Zhenqi, Ah-Dai's arms were more than a thousand pounds strong. He didn't draw the bow string this time. He was suddenly stunned, and a victorious spirit arose in his heart. He shouted, "Open--"
The vitality in his body suddenly burst out, and as the white light shone, he opened the black iron bow bit by bit. Dumb found that the longer the bow was pulled, the harder it became, and the vitality in his body had been fully mobilized.
, all the muscles in his body were surging with powerful strength. However, when the black iron bow was pulled to about three-quarters, Ah-Dai's vitality could no longer expand the bowstring. His left foot suddenly hit the ground, and his body
Leaning forward slightly, the potential of the whole body exploded instantly, a wave of heat rose from the Dantian, and the white light suddenly pulled the black iron bow into a full moon.
"Okay -" Applause came from all directions, and all the surrounding Yalian people cheered. They all looked at this young man from the foreign race with excitement. This foreigner who was not very strong actually opened the door in their hearts.
How could the divine bow not surprise them? Dumb's hands were already trembling slightly. After all, he had tried his best. He let go of his right hand, and the arrow flew out like a meteor chasing the moon, leaving only a faint residue in the air.
Shadow. Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Ah-Dai's archery target. However, what they didn't know was that this was Ah-Dai's first time shooting an arrow. The arrow was successfully shot and kept moving in a straight line. But the target was about to deviate.
A lot.
There was a loud noise of "Boom--", and everyone watched in stunned silence as target No. 7 was blown to pieces. Ah-Dai was almost exhausted when he shot the arrow. After the arrow was shot, he felt as if his strength had been drained.
Squatting on the ground, panting constantly, he overexhausted his strength and was unable to recover for a while. It was impossible to shoot a second arrow. Although the bow was a good bow, the arrow was too ordinary, otherwise it would not have failed to penetrate.
He passed the arrow stack and blew it up.
Xuan Yue ran over excitedly, and no one had the intention to stop her at this time. She took Ah-Dai's hand and said: "Dai-Dai, you are so good! You said you can't shoot arrows, look, even
The targets were all blown up." Rock also followed. He took the black iron bow from Ah-Dai's hand, stretched out his hand and pulled it gently. He couldn't help but feel horrified, and praised: "What a strong bow!"
The referee said with some difficulty: "Contestant No. 48, the first arrow has zero rings. Do you want to continue?"
Xuan Yue said in surprise: "What? You're not mistaken, right? Even if the target is blown away, it can't be Ring Zero."
The referee smiled bitterly and said: "If he blew up his target, I would definitely give him a tenth ring. Unfortunately, he hit target No. 7."
Only then did Xuan Yue notice that Ah-Dai was in the position of No. 8, and was speechless. At this time, under the influence of Shengsheng Zhenqi, Ah-Dai had basically recovered, stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Yueyue, this bow
The draw is too big, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull the second bow." Since he didn't use all his strength when he came up at the beginning, his right arm is already a little injured. And even if he had full strength, it would be impossible for him to pull the second bow twice in a row.
Zhang stiff bow.
Xuan Yue looked at Ah-Dai who lowered his head as if he had made a mistake. She couldn't help but feel distressed in her heart. She took Ah-Dai's hand and said, "It doesn't matter. If it doesn't work, forget it. We don't have to win the game."
Ah-Dai looked at Xuan Yue's concerned eyes and resolutely said to the referee: "I abstain."
His words immediately shocked the onlookers, and the whole audience burst into uproar. The referee said: "Little brother, you can change to a lighter bow and try again!"
Duan smiled bitterly and said: "No need, my archery skills are really bad. It will be bad if I shoot at others." After saying that, he took Xuan Yue's little hand and ran out of the venue.
After running to an empty space with no one nearby, Ah-Dai stopped, sat down on the ground, and said, "That bow is really hard, the Yalian tribe is really powerful!"
"Okay, brother, even I have to admire your strength! Not just anyone can pull that bow open. I tried it just now. It would take at least three thousand kilograms of strength to fully pull the bow open.
.That's something I can't do. It seems that your skill has improved again. If my guess is correct, no one would use that bow at all."
Tubari also ran over, gave Ah-Dai a thumbs up with excitement, and said: "Little brother, you are really good. The black iron bow is a treasure in our Yalian tribe. I didn't expect you to be able to pull it open."
Dumb blushed, "But my archery skills are so bad, I'm really sorry."
Tubari laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, the important thing is to participate. The equestrian competition is about to start. Look, hurry up." Sure enough, on the side of the open space, hundreds of horses stood together, pretending to be ready for something to happen.
With a clear whistle, the knights of the Yalian tribe almost simultaneously dismounted their horses and rushed out. Yan Li's figure clearly appeared in everyone's sight. He was riding a maroon horse.
.
With an excited look on his face, Yan Li urged him to get off his horse and gallop continuously, rushing towards the east quickly. When the horses disappeared from everyone's sight, Yan Li had already rushed into the top ten.
Tubari said with admiration: "Brother Yanli is really good. My Xiaohong is not the best horse in the family. It is not easy for him to rush to the front."
Duan's energy recovered a little and he said: "Brother Yan Li will definitely get the first one back."
As the equestrian competition started, many spectators rushed to watch the wrestling competition. There were fewer people in the empty field. Xuan Yue took Ah-Dai's arm and said: "Ah-Dai, Brother Rock, let's watch the wrestling competition."
go."
The wrestling competition has also entered a fierce competition. Only the last four warriors are still competing in the field. The winner of this competition will be able to participate in the finals.
The four big men in the field were all naked to the waist. Except for one who was shorter, the rest of them had tall bodies that were not under the rocks at all. Their pulling, tugging, pushing, shoving, hooking, mixing and other techniques were used to the limit. For a while,
In a stalemate.
With a bang, a player was thrown out by his opponent and fell to the ground unable to get up. Since they had gone through many games to participate in the semi-finals, their physical strength was almost exhausted. Once they were thrown hard, it would be difficult to climb back up.
Almost at the same time, the shorter player on the other side also won the victory. He used a leg-hugging throw to throw his opponent to the ground, and then pinned the opponent to win the game. The referee announced that the two entered the finals and took a break.
, the final battle begins after the equestrian competition is over.
"Aguti, come on, you must win!" A clear shout rang out from beside Ah-Dai and others. Everyone looked intently and saw that it was a girl from the Yalian tribe. The girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old. Although her skin was dark,
But she has a pair of bright big eyes, and she can be regarded as a black beauty among the Yalian tribe. Her eyes are constantly flashing a happy smile, staring closely at the first winner, who is obviously
He is her lover.
There was a look of intoxication in Tubari's eyes, and he said: "Lanying is the most beautiful woman in our tribe and the daughter of our tribal chief. She has grown up with Aguti's childhood sweetheart since she was a child. Aguti has been practicing wrestling hard in recent years.
I just want to win the competition today so that I can marry Lan Ying home in a dignified manner. Aguti is an orphan and comes from a poor family. If he does not use this method, he will not be able to marry Lan Ying. Lan Ying is eighteen years old this year.
No matter who wins the final wrestling match, I'm afraid she will be designated as his wife. Therefore, this is also Aguti's last chance."
Yan Yan looked at the lively Lan Ying and said with some infatuation: "I hope they can finally get married."
"Look, it's Brother Yan Li who's back." Xuan Yue's scream drew everyone's attention. Sure enough, amidst the thunderous sound of horse hooves, Yan Li took the lead. He didn't even hold the reins, relying entirely on his hands.
His legs controlled the horse under his crotch, holding a red flag in one hand and waving a battle ax in the other hand. He kept shouting loudly. Even the horse closest to him was about ten meters away.
Dumb and others all stood up and shouted Yan Li's name loudly. Several horses chasing him rushed to his side several times, trying to snatch the big flag in his hand, but as soon as he waved the flag in his hand,
The battle ax immediately scared those people back, and no one dared to get too close to him.
Tubari shouted with joy: "I'm going to pick up Brother Yanli." After saying that, he ran towards the finish line. At this time, Yanli had left all his opponents behind and successfully crossed the finish line, winning the first prize.
The champion of the equestrian competition. He looked excited and kept waving the big flag in his hand. Many Yalian people surrounded him and kept shouting. It seemed that he would not be able to come back for a while.
Rock shook his head and sighed: "This kid is still so pushy."
Dui smiled naively and said: "Brother Yanli wins the championship this time, so he has two horses to ride. We only need to buy two more horses."
Xuan Yue said: "Who said you need to buy two more horses? One is enough. I don't know how to ride a horse. You have to take me with you when the time comes."
Dui smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, but my riding skills are not very good either!"
Xuan Yue said: "I don't care, you can just take me with you when the time comes. Don't you want to ride slower?"
At this time, the finals of the wrestling competition had begun. The girl named Lan Ying squeezed to the front and kept cheering for her beloved Aguti. Aguti was similar in stature to Ah-Dai, and was stronger than Ah-Dai, with dark skin.
The veins were exposed, and sweat was dripping from his handsome face. It was obvious that he had consumed too much energy from the previous competition. His opponent was the short, strong man. Although he was equally tired, he looked more energetic than Aguti.
Some. As soon as the referee announced the start of the game, the two men yelled at the same time and rushed towards their opponents. Their four arms were entangled together, trying desperately to throw their opponents out. The game entered a stalemate, and the strength of the two
It seemed almost the same, and for a while no one could do anything to the other. Lan Ying looked at Aguti anxiously and kept shouting.
