Chapter 51 Obstacle

What the tour guide said was absolutely true. At this time, the leading group had completely passed through the troublesome bush forest and entered this downhill road. This was actually a naturally formed depression - or it might be the bed of a large river in ancient times. The contestants had to pass this downhill road with great heights and then ran on an uphill road of almost the same distance. This was a cruel knockout round - if the laggards in the previous journey still had hope, then after the test of this road, the laggards basically lost the possibility of coming back. Because after running this road, only one-third of the schedule was left.

After running this section of the road, who will win the horse racing championship has become a multiple-choice question within a very small range.

"Ashu Rufat, hurry up! Slow down!" Xing couldn't help but scream. Aes turned his head curiously and looked at Xingjian. After she was sure that it was Xingjian who was calling, she smiled that she thought she knew everything.

"Dear, it's useless to call here. It's too far away, and Ashu Rufate can't hear it at all. Besides, his ears should be full of howling wind at this time. Calm down and don't continue to pull my sleeves." She smiled and pulled her clothes. "If this continues, my sleeves will be pulled off."

Xingjian quickly let go of his hand and felt a heat on his face. Fortunately, only Ais was the only one who noticed this scene. All the others were attracted by the horse racing and had no time to care about even the things around him.

"Why is this road so dangerous?" The woman from another place asked her companion curiously. "I think this road is also very ordinary. It is too far from the bushes just now."

"No, this place is much more dangerous than the bushes just now." The man next to her replied. "Especially this downhill road."

"Why?"

"Because of speed. When running a downhill road like this, the rider must slow down. If someone thinks this section of the road is flat and safe, so he runs on the downhill road

If it goes too fast, then in the last straight section, no matter what kind of horse is, it will not be able to withstand the huge impact force and turn over. In other words, this impact force has exceeded the tolerance limit of the front leg and knee of the horse."

"Only slow down? They can...accelerate first and then slow down."

"No, because the pressure caused between acceleration and deceleration is also not something that the horse's legs can bear." The man replied. "So this is actually a very cruel psychological test. It makes people struggle between greed and fear. Riders must find a speed that makes their mount not exceed the limit and maintain this speed. As long as they are a little greedy, making the horse's speed too fast will cause the horse's legs to break. Too much fear will put the horse's speed too low, leading to a significant backwardness. Although it is not intentional, this is indeed an overly cruel test."

"Although you say that, this shouldn't be too difficult, right? I don't think it's difficult. Didn't you say that they are all professional? You can't do this?"

"Dear, this doesn't sound difficult at all. Yes, at least it sounds like this." The man replied. "For professional riders, it is not too outrageous to judge the right speed. If this is not a race, but just a simple horse racing, then ninety-nine percent of people will not be surprised. But as long as there is a fool who chooses to accelerate, the people behind will inevitably be affected, whether it is a man or a horse. During the race, one's uncontrollableness will infect others. Some people will accelerate, others will slow down, and only a few people can stay calm in this collective fanaticism."

Xingjian had clearly seen that everyone was slowing down. Although he was on a downhill that seemed to be able to run faster, everyone in the leading group was slowing down, slower than they were running on the flat ground. Ashu Rufate was no exception.

The second group followed closely and rushed into the downhill.

The man was right. Because when the leading group slowed down, there was a clear differentiation in the second group. Some people followed the example of the previous people slowing down the horse speed, while the other part did not slow down, but instead took advantage of the downhill opportunity to speed up the speed. Between this stretch and the relaxation, the distance between the two sides was completely eliminated. There was a clear gap between the leading group and the subsequent group just now, but now this gap is gone. The riders who rushed down the slope have become one. In a mess, Ashu Rufate has lost his leading position.

"Ash Rufate!" Xingjian watched all this. Although she knew that it was extremely dangerous to ride a horse and speed on such a downhill road, slowing down was the right choice. But as she saw Ash Rufate lose her leading position, she couldn't help but scream.

"Look, the test is coming soon. The riders are about to start rushing to the bottom of the slope. Whether their actions just now are smart or stupid, a judgment will be given here!"

"This is the most test of the horse's strength in the entire competition." The man's voice once again reached Xingjian's ears. "Do you remember last year's competition? That time it was on this stretch of the road, and the 'Red Lightning' achieved an absolute advantage and maintained this advantage until the end. This is because the horse is very good at going up and downhill."

Last year... Xingjian remembered last year's horse racing. Although she didn't remember it very clearly, she still had a certain impression of the situation last year. It was on this road...

The riders rushed down the slope. At this last moment, the iron hammer of judgment fell, and in an instant, the horses were rushing back and forth. Shouts, the horses neighed in pain, and the screams in the audience were heard. Many riders who failed to grasp the speed correctly rolled on the ground, and even a few people who could have been able to hold on to the ground. They also bumped into those who did not fall and horses, and were involved in being involved.

The moment was so chaotic that it was impossible to see clearly what was going on. Xingjian could only see people and horses falling down like stepping on an invisible tripping rope. But in a blink of an eye, the riders who were lucky and calm enough had rushed out of the chaotic area and galloped towards the uphill section.

Ashu Rufate's luck is obviously not particularly good.

On the downhill road, more than one horse surpassed him, but he calmly ignored these external interferences. Just as he introduced to Xingjian, the "swift" under his crotch was not the kind of particularly strong horse. The advantage of the elf war horse lies in the combination of agility, speed, endurance, rather than the ability to withstand the powerful impact of high-speed downhill. Ashrufate's chance lies in the off-road on the flat ground, not up and downhill. But no matter how calm he is and how correct the response is, the God of Luck did not help him at this moment. Some fallen horses just blocked his way.

In order to avoid these guys who were rolling on the ground (although these people ran very fast, they had already surpassed the horse's ability to withstand the horse), Ashu Rufate had to run a "一"-shaped route. Although he saved distance to the maximum extent and avoided obstacles, he failed to seize the opportunity after the brief chaos. By the time he started to go uphill, he could only chase after the "Gray Hair".

Below is a gentle upward slope. The mountain climbing is obviously what "Gray Hair" is good at. It is the luckiest one in the chaos just now, because it can be said to be the one that has not been affected at all, and other horses except it have to turn or avoid it. This makes Gray Hair successfully take the lead.

The impact of uphill roads on horses is obvious. All horses' speed immediately slowed down. This is not the deliberate slowdown just now, but the inevitable phenomenon of horses when climbing a mountain.

Xingjian stared at the horse racing closely - Ashu Rufate's white horse followed closely behind the gray hair. Although Ashu Rufate was blocked just now, it was quite a bit of affair than others.

Xingjian's nervousness was completely reflected in her face at this time - fortunately, almost no one cared about the expressions of the people around her at this time. In her opinion, the gray hair was blocking the way with a slow speed, rather than a full-time game. But Ash Rufate just couldn't break through the road blocker in front.

Ashu Rufate tried several times in a row to break through the obstacles of gray hair and seized the first place again. The card came out. Although "Swift" climbing is not particularly good at climbing, now that the opponent refuses to move forward at full speed, he doesn't mind getting the lead first. It's still very advantageous to lead the lead position. Because after the climbing is over, it's "Swift"'s turn to have an advantage. If its advantage of fast and long-lasting speed can be played, perhaps others will never have the possibility of catching up.

However, the gray-haired rider realized this attempt. Every time Ashu Rufate moved his position and wanted to break through, the gray-haired would tilt in time and blocked the front of Ashu Rufate. After repeated several times, Ashu Rufate's speed slowed down. He had given up the idea of ​​competing with the other party on the hillside road and just wanted to run this uphill quietly. After all, uphill road is also a great burden for "swift".

"Look at everyone!" The commentator at the high place let out a loud scream. "The gray hair slowed down... Huh, what happened?"

The commentator must have an insight into the whole audience. Xingjian's eyes never left his fiancé. She had seen what was going on. Ashu Rufate was riding a horse and making dodge moves. This was because a burst of gravel and soil were coming towards him. If he did not avoid it in time and continued to maintain his previous position, he would have been beaten up by these soil and stones now.

This formation of earth and stone was stirred up by the "gray hair" rear kick. This was not an accident, because as long as you look carefully, the audience can clearly see that this was done by the gray hair rider deliberately controlling the mount. This formation of earth and stone flew directly towards the horse's head, which is quite dangerous.

"Hey, what does this mean!" Many spectators were already shouting on the top of the mountain at a high place.

However, because the distance is too far, the gray-haired rider seems to have no sounds from people. In fact, those who know a little about the participants know that the "gray-haired" rider is called Qiao Bo, who is a rider from another place. In other words, he is the kind of person who comes completely for the prize money. He doesn't seem to care about the evaluation of local audiences at all.

The gray horse's hind hooves once again raised the earth and rocks and rushed towards Ashu Rufat. This was far beyond the scope of "joking". The stones were fine, but if the soil or dust flew into the eyes, the eyesight of the people and the horse would have a serious impact. If the vision was unclear in cross-country competitions, it would be a fatal injury.

However, this threatening action is completely legal for horse racing.
