Chapter 96 - 83 Stubborn Pony i
To the sprinting Horse Beasts, a racetrack of ten thousand meters wasn’t far.
In just a short while, Amazing, at the front, had already passed the three-thousand-meter mark.
And with this, the next stage of the race began!
Three thousand meters in, artificial obstacles and booby traps would appear on the track.
“Xi Lu Lu!”
After just a few strides, Amazing’s foot landed on thin air.
It let out an instinctive cry of surprise, then stumbled and used the momentum from the previous charge to quickly leap over the hole, about five meters in diameter, that had suddenly opened up beneath it.
As Amazing duly passed the hole, it quickly refilled, camouflaging itself back into the solid ground.
“Boom!!!”
With the sound of an explosion of Electric Arc, Angry Thunder, following closely behind, leapt up and easily cleared the obstacle.
The difference in overcoming obstacles between the two shortened their distance significantly.
Being out in front would inevitably encounter more traps, but those who came later could avoid some of the traps that had already been triggered with the guidance of the Beast Master.
Such a racetrack design made the race increasingly unpredictable.
At the same time, the two leading Horse Beasts stepped into the trap area after the three-thousand-meter mark, and Chasing Wind, having activated comeback mode, had already surpassed tenth place, becoming the new tenth place.
The further ahead, the greater the speed difference, and the gap widened. However, the terrifying speed of Chasing Wind made all this irrelevant!
The speed at which it overtook the previous Horse Beast never slowed down in the slightest!
At the three-thousand-meter mark from the starting point, it smoothly overtook ninth place!
At this moment, most of the obstacles in the obstacle area ahead had already been triggered by the first eight horses’ attempts!
“It’s time for me to use my memory!” Xu Kun growled and quickly directed Chasing Wind through his Contractual Sensing.
From a bird’s eye view, Chasing Wind easily leapt over the preset obstacles, chasing forward at high speed!
Eighth… seventh… sixth…
Three thousand and five hundred meters… four thousand meters… four thousand and five hundred meters!
Its sprint speed became faster and faster, closing in on the distance ahead at a high speed.
When Chasing Wind surpassed third place and became the new third place, it had already reached the six-thousand-meter mark!
And this was the start of the Third Stage of the race!
Here, there will be no more man-made obstacles or traps, the final four thousand meters of a flat racetrack, is the beginning of the sprint!
Amazing, which had been caught up by Angry Thunder in the second stage race due to repeatedly triggering traps, erupted again in this final segment and overtook Angry Thunder to regain first place.
Running on the Light trail, Amazing’s robust body was almost turning into a golden rainbow!
When Chasing Wind stepped on the six-thousand-meter mark, it had already rushed beyond seven thousand meters!
“Go Chasing Wind!”
On the back of the Tearing Wind Hawk Lion, Xu Ran vigorously swung his fist, constantly yelling encouragement to Chasing Wind below, while Xu Kun next ’ to him was equally excited, constantly shouting.
Even Ziyun, who popped her head out to look down, couldn’t help but meow tirelessly.
At this moment, Chasing Wind’s body was completely covered in a blue Light film, masking its red body, making the entire Horse Beast appear to have changed from red to blue.
Every step it took seemed to be cheered on by the wind!
That was the Pulse of Wind accumulated to the extreme, the pinnacle of Chasing Wind’s speed!
Amazing was fast, but at this moment, the distance between Chasing Wind and it was constantly shrinking!
Nine hundred meters… eight hundred meters… seven hundred meters!
Chasing Wind leapfrogged past Angry Thunder, becoming the new runner-up! “Xi Lu Lu!”
Angry Thunder let out an unwilling cry, its speed suddenly accelerated a bit, trying to regain its second place which belonged to it, but it soon found out that even if it tried its best to speed up, it was still no match for Chasing Wind.
As it watched Chasing Wind’s back as it chased after Amazing, Angry Thunder’s eyes were full of disappointment.
It knew that it had lost the ability to compete for the championship.
And the distance between Chasing Wind and Amazing was still closing in.
Three hundred meters… two hundred meters… one hundred meters…
The two Horse Beasts crossed the nine-thousand-meter mark one after another, and their distance was now only a hundred meters!
Almost there! It’s so close!
The atmosphere at this moment seemed as if it had come to a halt.
Xu Kun and Xu Ran cheered loudly, while on the back of another Tearing Wind Hawk Lion, the Beast Master of Amazing was also constantly cheering for his Horse Beast.
“Xi Lu Lu!”
Chasing Wind let out a cry, its blue eyes full of fighting spirit.
It was going to win!
Fifty meters… thirty meters… ten meters…
The distance between them was already close enough for them to clearly see each other.
Finally…
‘Stomp-‘
With a heavy step, Chasing Wind, wrapped in the wild wind, overtook Amazing!
“Whoosh-”
Chasing Wind’s solid body snapped the tight finish line as it thundered past, the line dancing wildly in the wind behind it!
Xu Ran and Xu Kun, up in the air, gave each other a high flag.
“We won!”
“Hello, here is your 2.6 million, please take it.”
The staff member handed the bank card back to Xu Ran with a strange look on his face.
Only ten minutes ago, he had taken the same bank card from Xu Ran and had withdrawn all the funds available.
“Thank you.” Xu Ran grinned and pocketed the bank card.
Had this been his past life, this would undoubtedly have been a huge sum of money, but in the current world, it was just that much to him as a Beast Master.
One should know that Beast Masters in this world are big spenders… well, although he hasn’t felt it yet.
In any case, a small fortune was made, and he felt pleased.
“Congratulations Boss Xu, you made a profit.” Xu Kun laughed..
