Chapter 57 Entering Tianma Forest
Tianma Forest is located in the middle of the territory of Luoyun Sect, about 3,000 miles away from Luoyun City. It is a dense forest with a radius of hundreds of miles.
Deep in the forest, there is a huge lake. The water in the lake is gurgling and steaming. The entire lake area exudes a strong smell of sulfur.
On the lake shore, there are more than a dozen tall white horses. Unlike ordinary horses, these horses are extremely tall and have a pair of silver wings on their bodies.
A horse was galloping by the lake, and suddenly, wherever it was fun, its wings spread slightly, glided against the ground, and until it was a hundred meters away, it fell to the ground again.
These horses are the strange beasts, Tianma. Their existence is the origin of the name of Tianma Forest.
There are also some pretty majestic horses far away from the lake shore. These black horses are far away from the Tianma, looking at the Tianma as if they were ministers and kings.
These horses are collectively called Black-faced Horses, and the mounts of the Black Armored Heavy Cavalry are exactly this type.
...
How fast is the Black-Fallen Horse? On the second day after leaving Luoyun Sect, Lin Feng and others arrived at the edge of Tianma Forest.
Here, a team of 100 people stationed in the Xuan Armored Heavy Cavalry. The Black-Armored Horse is a forbidden object within the territory of the Luoyun Sect. Anyone who tries to take away the Black-Armored Horse will be attacked by the Xuan Armored Heavy Cavalry.
Lin Feng and others came directly to the military camp on the edge of the forest.
There were 58 new knights who came here to select mounts this time. Among the 97 places, the other 39 were veterans. In other words, the 60 veterans who participated in the test like Yun Zhiya have 39 of them who have saved their status.
Inside the military camp.
"Boys, let me listen!" Gan Li, the centurion of the Xuan Armored Heavy Cavalry who was stationed in the local area, shouted, "I will talk about the rules of choosing mounts. Who dares to violate it? Don't blame me for being rude!"
Lin Feng and others listened intently. Everyone was holding a hand-painted sheepskin map with various areas of the Tianma Forest marked on it.
"The entire Tianma Forest is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only this is the exit. This is the treasure land of the sect and a forbidden area! Only when the new knights choose their mounts can they enter!"
"There are two hundred miles outside the forest where the Black Horse is active, and it is also where you choose your mount. Two hundred miles away, there are real strange beasts, "Tianma" appearing. It is a real strange beast, with its strength comparable to Tiger Fist's level seventh-level strongman, or even a level eight-level strongman! Even I can't deal with such a Tianma!"
"Don't enter that area! Otherwise, as a knight, he died here before he even went to the battlefield. Wouldn't it make people laugh out loud?"
Everyone listened honestly.
"Even if you can escape unstoppably in front of Tianma, it's useless. Tianma is arrogant and would rather die than become a mount. So there is no point in entering that area."
Gan Li continued: "Mountains are our second life, so we must choose well. However, choosing a mount is also a law of fate. You must make the mount have a good impression of you. You must remember that you can only slowly cultivate feelings with the Black-Shad Horse, and you must never attack the Black-Shad Horse! Which one violates it, military law will be dealt with!"
"You have ten days! Within ten days, you can stay in the forest. After ten days, whether you choose a mount or not, you must come out!"
"In addition, if you choose a mount, it is best to act alone. As long as you don't enter the area where the sky horse is infested, there is no danger with your strength. Black horses are easily frightened. If you act alone, you are more likely to choose a satisfying mount!"
"Okay! I've said so much, you can enter the forest!"
The Xuan Armor Heavy Cavalry has a clear level, and everyone is a recruit, so they must maintain enough respect in front of a centurion. At this moment, everyone left the barracks in silence and entered the forest one after another.
...
When you enter the forest, you will be surrounded by extremely tall trees. The trees here are tall but not crowded. The sunlight can easily shine from the treetops to the clearings in the forest. The clearings are full of dense grass. Although it is already winter in other places, the forest is as gentle as spring.
Such an environment is a very suitable place for wild horses to survive.
Although Gan Li said it would be best to act alone, since a group would serve in one place, most of the people in the same group chose to act together.
"Let's go here!" A tall boy looked around and pointed in a direction.
"Okay." The two teenagers around him also nodded.
The three of them strode towards that direction and soon disappeared into the dense forest.
"Let's go here!"
"There are few people here, let's go here."
The teenagers strode into the forest in groups.
"Brother Lin, which direction should we go?" Fang Qingshuang asked with a smile.
Before Lin Feng could answer, a voice suddenly sounded: "Miss Qingshuang."
Lin Feng turned around and saw a thin boy strode over.
The boy has a pretty appearance, but his figure is slightly thin. Judging from the aura emitted by his body, he is also a powerful man in the sixth level of Tiger Fist.
Lin Feng also recognized this person, his name was Liu Bai. There were only fourteen Tiger Fist Level 6 who participated in the test, so it was naturally easy to remember.
"Miss Qingshuang, let's go together!" Liu Bai walked up to Fang Qingshuang and smiled, "We were in a group when we tested, and we will definitely serve in a city in the future. Now let's learn more about each other and we can cooperate better on the battlefield in the future!"
"No need, Liu Bai." Fang Qingshuang smiled slightly and said, "I want to serve with Brother Lin, so we naturally have to leave together."
"You serve with them? How is this possible? We are in the same group!" Liu Bai said in surprise.
"Liu Bai, goodbye." Fang Qingshuang smiled slightly and looked at Lin Feng and said, "Brother Lin, let's go! Let's go here." As she said that, she walked in one direction.
"Yes, OK." Lin Feng nodded, smiled slightly at Liu Bai, and followed him.
Su Yan and Su Ying looked at each other and followed quickly.
Liu Bai looked at Fang Qingshuang's beautiful figure, and a hint of unwillingness appeared on his face. His eyes turned to Lin Feng, and his face also became gloomy.
"snort!"
Liu Bai snorted, turned around and strode into the forest, and disappeared.
...
"Brother Lin, do you know why there are black horses here?" Fang Qingshuang said as she walked.
"I don't know." Lin Feng shook his head.
"I don't know either. Qingshuang must know it. Let me tell us!" Su Yan said hurriedly.
Fang Qingshuang glanced at Su Yan and said, "The black-faced horse has a trace of the blood of a Tianma. In fact, they are the descendants of Tianma, but their bloodline is a little weaker."
"Originally, there were no black horses in this forest. The most famous one here was the crater lake at the center. Hundreds of years ago, the sect found traces of Tianma around the crater lake, so they bought a large number of high-quality mares and put them in this forest to let Tianma and mingle with these mares, which gave birth to the first batch of black horses."
“Encounter?”
After hearing this, two red clouds appeared on Su Ying's pink face.
Fang Qingshuang was extremely calm and continued: "The bloodline of this group of black-faced horses is naturally the purest, with half of the bloodline of the Tianma. However, the number cannot meet the needs of the sect at all, so for hundreds of years, the sect has been putting strong mares into the forest."
"These mares were placed in the forest, some of which had sex with the Tianma, and some of which had sex with the Black-Shaped Horse. The concentration of the new Black-Shaped Horse was naturally different. And some Black-Shaped Horses were the product of the intercourse between the Black-Shaped Horses. Therefore, they were also black-Shaped Horses, but their bloodlines were extremely complex."
"The black-faced horse with the highest blood concentration in Tianma is naturally the most powerful, and the lower the blood concentration, the closer it is to the ordinary war horse!"
Su Yan said, "Then when we enter the forest, we naturally have to look for the black-faced horse with the purest bloodline!"
"Of course." Fang Qingshuang nodded and shook her head, "But it is not easy to do it. These black-faced horses are almost the same in terms of appearance. Moreover, we do not allow attacks on them and cannot see their limits. So choosing a mount is actually based on luck."
"Since you can't do it, why do you say this?" Su Ying complained.
Lin Feng nodded. In fact, he naturally knew these things.
Choosing a mount depends on luck.
Once a mount is selected, it cannot be changed. Of course, no knight will change the mount unless the mount dies in battle. The relationship between the knight and the mount is originally extremely subtle.
Once the knight is killed or retired, the war horse will be released back to the Tianma Forest. When Lin Heng left Luoyun City, his mount was released back here.
Such war horses will not accept other people as their new owners.
After all, the Black-faced Horse has the blood of Tianma and inherits part of the arrogance of Tianma.
Several people were talking, but their feet did not stop and soon entered more than ten miles deep in the forest.
"Look, the black-faced horse!" Su Yan suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked over and saw an extremely tall war horse by the river ahead, bowing their heads to drink water. The shiny mane shone brightly in the autumn sun.
The horse is black overall and is twice as tall as an ordinary war horse. Standing there, it is full of the beauty of power.
Everyone stood up and looked at the war horse carefully.
"Good horse!" Fang Qingshuang looked at it for a while and exclaimed.
Lin Feng nodded: "It's indeed a good horse!"
Although it is impossible to determine the bloodline concentration of this horse, its height has shown that this is definitely not an ordinary black-faced horse.
"Do you have any of this war horse?" Fang Qingshuang asked.
"I don't want it." Su Ying shook her head, "There must be something better inside."
Su Yan said: "Since Qingshuang you like, then you can try to subdue it!"
"Brother Lin, what do you think?" Fang Qingshuang asked.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "I'll take a look!"
