Chapter 37 Baturu Festival

Yanshi stood up. Although the Yalian tribe members were strong, they were much smaller than Yanshi. Looking at his appearance, they couldn't help but take a step back. Yanshi said, "Brother, we are just passing by here. May I ask, where are the people here? Have they all gone to graze?"

The Yalian tribe members had returned to normal from surprise. They grinned and said, "Don't you know what kind of herds are being put on today? Today is the Batulu Festival of our Yalian tribe. The festival celebration is about to begin, and everyone is going to celebrate. Of course, there will be no one here. We and several nearby tribes gather there. I'm back to get something, otherwise you won't see it alone. The celebration is about to begin. Foreigners, should we go and see it together? It's very lively."

Several people gathered around and Ah Dai asked, "Brother, what does Batulu Festival mean?"

The man said, "You don't even know this. Batulu means warriors in the ancient words of our Yalian clan, so this festival is also called the Warriors' Festival. Each tribe will select warriors from their own tribe to participate in today's celebration. Whether you go or not, I have to go quickly. Batulu Festival once a year is one of the most important festivals of our Yalian clan."

Xuan Yue said happily: "I want to go, I want to go, we also want to go and see. Just take us there."

When the Yalian tribe saw Xuanyue's pretty face, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "Little girl, you are so beautiful! My name is Tubali, and you are welcome to participate in our festival."

Yan Shi and Yan Li looked at each other. They had heard that the Batulu Festival of the Yalian tribe is very interesting and is the largest celebration of the Yalian tribe. Since we caught up this time, it is not impossible to see, let alone they want to buy horses from the Yalian tribe. "Brother, please lead the way. We foreigners will not cause trouble to you when we go to your celebration, right?"

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 a distance, and his face moved, "We are going to go there quickly. The celebration is about to begin." After saying that, he greeted the four people and quickly ran eastward.

Several people looked at each other and hurriedly followed. The most exciting thing was Xuan Yue. She was always so curious about novel things.

The four of them followed Tubari through the flock of cattle and sheep and immediately saw an extremely spectacular scene. The terrain of the oasis was high, so they didn't notice what they looked like here just now. As soon as they passed through the flock of cattle and sheep, they immediately saw the Yalian people all over the mountains. These people were divided into three parts, and their outfits were very simple. Many young people of the Yalian people were naked and kept shouting. Most of them rode on high-headed horses, with excited smiles on their faces. In the center of the Yalian people, there was a large empty field. Around the empty field, there were fires, and whole cows or whole sheep were roasted on each fire, and the smell of meat continued to come, causing A Dai and others to not fast.

Tubari said: "Let's go, let's go. It's about to start. I belong to the northern tribe, just north. The other two are the southern tribes and the eastern tribes. Although our three tribes are not very powerful among the Yalian tribes, they have a close relationship with each other and occupy this oasis, so their lives are still very good." As he said that, he brought everyone to the Yalian tribesmen on the north side. The Yalian tribesmen did not feel too surprised because of their appearance. Everyone who saw them showed simple smiles and looked welcoming.

The sound of trumpets sounded, and tens of thousands of Yalian tribes suddenly calmed down. From the three Yalian tribes in the north, east and south, more than a dozen fast horses rushed out and rushed towards the center like lightning. When the three teams were about to collide, the knights on the horse made the move to collect the reins at the same time. Dozens of fast horses stood up almost at the same time and stopped in the neighing of the horse. The superb riding skills were amazing. A Dai thought to himself, no wonder people said that the light cavalry of the Yalian tribe was very powerful.

Yan Li clasped his palms and looked eager to try. Among the Puyan clan, his riding skills are very famous. When he saw these Yalian clan members who were good at equestrians, he felt itchy and couldn't scratch them.

Three teams of people gathered in the center of the open space, and the Yalian tribes around them shouted at the same time, and the atmosphere was extremely warm. The leaders of the three teams were all middle-aged people in their forties. They raised their sabers and yelled something with their knights.

After a while, the shouts 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 for the birth of our warriors. After a year of hard work, we Yalian tribe have produced many new warriors,..."

Tubari explained to the four people: "This is the chief of our tribe. Among these three tribes, our tribe is the most powerful. The Batulu Festival is divided into two parts. The first one is a competition of various forms, and the warriors of each tribe will be selected. The latter one is a complete carnival. Only today, our Yalian tribe does not need to work or grazing, and everyone can enjoy the fun. The previous competitions are mainly three, namely riding, wrestling and archery. Are you interested in participating?"

Yan Shi was stunned and said, "Can we participate too?"

Tubari smiled and said, "Of course. Our Yalian tribe respects those who are capable the most. Moreover, the competition is rewarded. The reward for riding competition is two horses. The reward for the wrestling competition is the best. The winner can choose the unmarried girl he likes from the age of 18 and marry her home as his wife. Therefore, the competition is also the most intense. Many young people want to show it to everyone at this time, not only win reputation but also win the hearts of their beloved. The reward for the archery competition seems to be money. I heard that there are so many fifty gold coins."

As soon as he heard the reward of the horse, everyone's eyes lit up. Yanli couldn't wait to say, "I, I want to participate in the riding competition. Brother, take me to sign up."

Tubari laughed and said, "Brother, I didn't see your horse!"

Yan Li was stunned and said embarrassedly: "It's a pity that my horse didn't ride. Alas—" He lowered his head with annoyance.

Tubari smiled heartily and said, "It doesn't matter, let's do it. I'll lend you my horse. If you can win the game, it will bring me glory."

Yan Li was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Okay, thank you, brother."

Tubali pulled Yan Li to sign up for the horse. Yan Shi shook his head and said, "This kid! He was so proud when he heard about the horse racing." When he was in the Puyan tribe, Yan Li would definitely participate whenever there was a horse racing.

Xuan Yue laughed and said, "If Brother Yanli wins, we can ride a horse without spending money. Wouldn't it be right?"

At this time, the leaders of the three tribes in the field were holding a ceremony, and A Dai and others couldn't understand it. A Dai's spirit was basically concentrated on the fragrant barbecue. Eating it is always one of the most important things for him. Although Yan Shi has been much cheerful these days, he still has little talk. After the disaster of his wife's death, he seemed much more steady. At this time, he was setting his eyes on the three chiefs in the center of the venue. The most excited of the three was Xuan Yue. She kept looking around and feeling the atmosphere of the Yalian clan's festival, and she was indescribable happiness.

In a while, Tubari came back, "Brother Yanli's riding skills are really good! He was the one who knew horses and picked the best horse in my family. I hope he can win this competition."

Ah Dai asked, "Brother Tubari, how to do the riding competition?"

Tubari said: "It's actually very simple. From here, from ten miles away, there is a red flag. Whoever gets it first and brings it back will win. Although the rules are simple, it is very difficult to really compete. Even if you can get the red flag smoothly, you may not be able to intercept the other contestants. Therefore, the first person to get the red flag may not be the winner. I participated once five years ago, but I didn't even see the shadow of the red flag, haha."

Tubari's humility greatly increased the three of them's affection for him. Ah Dai had seen the Rock Li riding technique and said confidently: "Brother Yan Li will definitely do it. He is the best person I have ever seen."

Tubari laughed and said, "I hope this is the case. The riding competition will take a while before it starts. I will take you to play too. There are archery competitions and wrestling competitions over there. Let's go and take a look."

Sure enough, several open spaces had been surrounded in the empty field, the largest one with ten arrow piles, all 500 meters away, and the rest were captured by dozens of throwing fields. The archery competition of the Yalian clan depends on the accuracy, while the throwing competition is more complicated. Anyone can participate in the competition. As long as three people fall in a row, they can participate in the next round of the competition until the only winner is finally decided. The three of them entered the open space under the leadership of Tubari. Due to the large number of people watching the game, A Dai was afraid that Xuan Yue would make a mistake, so he pulled her little hand and protected her in his arms.

There were indeed the most people in the wrestling competition, with three layers inside and three layers outside, making it difficult to squeeze in. The Yalian tribe's body smell of cattle and sheep made it difficult for the three of them to adapt. Rock rushed to Tubali and said, "Let's go to the archery side, there are too many people here."

Tubari smiled embarrassedly and said, "Yes! Who doesn't want to become a warrior and win the beauty! These young people are like this." As they said, everyone squeezed out of the crowd and came to the archery competition venue not far away. There were much fewer people here. There were only one black spots on the pile of arrows five hundred meters away. Not to mention that it was difficult to aim. Even pulling a bow and shooting archery is very difficult. Even people with a deep range of 500 meters will be difficult to pull a bow even if they have a deep fighting spirit. Therefore, generally, people participating in the competition choose to use a smaller pulling force and use a parabola to hit the target. Although there are few people participating here, each of them is an archery master, and one by one, a group of feathered arrows pounced on the pile of arrows in the distance like a locust.

Tubari explained: "It seems that less than fifty people participated in the archery competition this year. Each of them had ten arrows in the first round. The remaining ten people who shot the most accurately came to participate in the second round to compete for the final winner. At the beginning of the game, do you want to play?" As he said that, his eyes fell on Rock. Rock was tall and had amazing strength at first glance. Tubari also wanted to see what these outsiders had. However, to his surprise, Rock shook his head, as if he was not interested in this game.

On the contrary, Xuan Yue was picked up. She kept shaking Ah Dai's hand and said, "You can try it, you can give it fifty gold coins."

A Dai scratched his head and stammered, "But, but Yueyue, I can't shoot arrows! It's impossible to get any reward." Indeed, he had never touched the bow, let alone shoot arrows.

Xuan Yue said unwillingly: "No one is born to know everything. If you don't try it, how can you know that you can't do it? Go and try it. Just think it's better to play. If someone doesn't pull the bow, he would want to try it."

Tubari smiled and said, "That's right, little brother, go and try it. In fact, shooting arrows is very simple. You just aim at the target, don't tremble your hands, and shoot the arrows over."

Ah Dai didn't want to participate, but suddenly he remembered Xuan Yue's grievance because he had no money before. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll participate. Brother Tubari, please take me to sign up." His decision immediately made Xuan Yue excited, and he clapped his hands and cheered, "Ah Dai is the best, you can do it."

Yan Shi smiled slightly, patted Ah Dai on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, you will pick the heaviest bow later. The heavier the bow, the bigger the Larry, the more stable the arrow you shoot will be, and the more you can keep a straight line."

A Dai agreed and hurriedly followed Tubali. Registration for the bow and arrow competition is very simple. Just register a name and get a number. The Yalian tribe members did not make things difficult for A Dai because he was a foreigner. Instead, they encouraged him to participate. There were 47 contestants in the previous contestants, so A Dai was No. 48. Four rounds of the preliminary round have been held. After A Dai registered, he happened to catch up with the last round.

Tubali pulled Ah Dai to select bows and arrows. In order to prevent cheating, contestants participating in archery competitions are not allowed to bring their own bows and arrows. This is mainly to prevent people from buying magic bows at high prices to enhance accuracy.

Looking at dozens of hard bows, Ah Dai couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't know which one to choose. Tubari was not a contestant and could not come to help him. He had already retreated to Xuan Yue and Yanshi, looking at him not far away, shouting to cheer him up.

Ah Dai picked up a bow casually. In his hand, the bow seemed to have no weight. He remembered that the rock just now told him to choose the heaviest bow. He immediately had an idea in his heart and picked up each bow to weigh it. He found that the further he went, the heavier the bow. At this time, the referee was a little impatient and shouted: "No. 48, hurry up. The game is about to begin."

A Dai hurriedly agreed, ran to the last row, picked up a dark hard bow and ran towards his target position. As soon as he started this bow, A Dai felt very satisfied. Although the bow was not very big and smaller than other hard bows, its weight seemed to be heavier than his Tiangang sword. The bow body and bow string were dark, and there was no special thing on the surface.

The referee looked at Ah Dai who ran to the target position in surprise and said in a daze: "Young man, you are not going to use this black iron bow. It weighs 200 kilograms, so it is not easy to pull it away."

Ah Dai looked at the hard bow in his hand and said, "I, I'll try it, maybe it can work." He had no confidence in his archery technique at all, and could only listen to the opinions of Rock.

The referee nodded and said, "Okay, I want to open my eyes. I have never seen anyone pull this bow apart." Even the strongest warrior of the Yalian clan could only pull this bow out of a arc. The weight of the bow itself is quite terrible. Without more than 500 kilograms of strength in his hand, it is impossible to lift it up flat. As for pulling it open, no one can say how much power it needs.

"The competition begins. Please shoot out the ten arrows in your hands within twenty minutes."

Although Ah Dai was stupid, he had seen Yue Ji shoot arrows and knew how to recognize the strings. He pulled out a long arrow from the quiver and placed it on the bowstring. His legs stood firm forward and backward, and slowly raised the black iron bow in his hand. Xuan Yue's cheering sound kept coming, Ah Dai felt that the blood in his body seemed to be boiling. The weight of 200 pounds was nothing to him. He easily raised the black iron bow in his hand to a position parallel to his shoulders, without any trembling in his arms. His right index finger, middle finger, and ring finger were placed on the bowstring and slowly pulled it back. Once he pulled the bowstring, he understood why the referee had just told him that this bow was difficult to pull. The bowstring was very tough and hard. Without using the real energy, with his strength, he could only pull it into a half arc. But even so, the referee and other players around him looked at him in surprise, and had forgotten that he was playing.

Even if A Dai did not use Shengsheng True Qi, his arms were more than a thousand pounds of force. He was stunned and a competitive aura arose in his heart. He shouted loudly, "Open--" The life of the whole body suddenly burst out, and with the white light shining, the Xuan Iron Bow was pulled open by him bit by bit. A Dai discovered that the more the bow was pulled, the more difficult it was. The Shengsheng True Qi in his body had been completely mobilized, and the muscles in his body were surging with powerful strength. However, when the Xuan Iron Bow was pulled to about three-quarters, A Dai's life of the life of the bow could no longer expand the bowstring. His left foot suddenly piled up to the ground, his body slightly forward, and his potential exploded instantly. A heated air rose from his dantian, and under the strong white light, he pulled the Xuan Iron Bow into a full moon.

"Okay--" Applause came from all directions, and all the Yalian tribes around cheered. They all looked at the boy from the alien race excitedly. This not very strong alien race actually pulled the divine bow in their minds. How could they not be surprised? A Dai's hand was already trembling slightly. After all, he had tried his best. His right hand relaxed, and the arrow flew out like a meteor rushing to the moon, leaving only a faint afterimage in the air. Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at A Dai's target. However, what they didn't know was that this was the first time A Dai shot an arrow. The arrow was successfully shot and kept moving forward in a straight line. But the goal was to deviate a lot.

With a loud "boom--" sound, everyone stared at the 7th target in a daze. The arrow was almost exhausted. After the arrow was shot, he felt his power had been drained. He squatted on the ground, gasping for a while, overdrawing his power so that he could not recover for a while. It was impossible to shoot the second arrow again. Although the bow is a good bow, the arrow is too ordinary, otherwise he would not have been able to pass through the stack of arrows and blow it up.

Xuan Yue ran over excitedly, and no one had the intention to stop her at this time. She grabbed A Dai's hand and said, "Didai, you are so great! You said you can't shoot arrows. Look, even the target was blown away." Yanshi followed him. He took the black iron bow from A Dai's hand, reached out and pulled it gently, and couldn't help but feel terrified and exclaimed: "What a strong bow!"

The referee said with some difficulty: "Player No. 48, the first arrow is zero ring. Do you still want to continue?"

Xuan Yue said in surprise: "What? You are right. Even if you blow up the target, it can't be a zero ring."

The referee smiled bitterly: "If he blows away his target, I will definitely be sentenced to him as the tenth ring. Unfortunately, he shot the target number seven."

Xuan Yue then noticed that Ah Dai was at No. 8 and was speechless. At this time, Ah Dai had basically recovered under the influence of his true energy and stood up and said, "Sorry, Yueyue, the bow is too big, I'm afraid I can't pull the second bow." Since he didn't use all his strength when he came up at the beginning, his right arm is now a little injured. And even if he is full of energy, he cannot pull this hard bow twice in a row.

Xuan Yue looked at A Dai who looked down as if she had made a mistake. She couldn't help but feel distressed in her heart. She took A Dai's hand and said, "It doesn't matter, if it doesn't work, it's okay, we have to win the game."

Ah Dai looked at Xuan Yue's concerned gaze and resolutely said to the referee: "I abstain."

His words immediately surprised the audience, and the audience was shocked. The referee said, "Little brother, you can change to a light bow and try it!"

A Dai smiled bitterly and said, "No, my archery skills are really bad. It will be bad if I shoot to someone else again." After that, he ran out of the field with Xuan Yue's little hand.

After running to the open space where there were no people on the side, Ah Dai stopped, sat down on the ground, and said, "That bow is really hard, the Yalian clan is really powerful!"

"Okay, brother, I have to admire your strength! Not everyone can pull that bow. I just tried it and wanted to pull the bow completely, at least three thousand kilograms of strength. That's what I can't do. It seems that your skill has improved again. If I guessed it well, no one would use that bow at all."

Tubari also ran over, gave A Dai a thumbs up with excitement, and said, "Little brother, you are so good. The Xuan Iron Bow is a treasure in our Yalian clan. I didn't expect you to be able to pull it."

Ah Dai's face turned red, "But my archery skills are so bad, I'm so embarrassed."

Tubari laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, it's important to participate. The equestrian competition is about to begin, you can see." Sure enough, on the side of the open space, hundreds of horses stood in a group, looking ready to go. With a clear whistle, the knights of the Yalian clan activated their horses to rush out almost at the same time. Yan Li's figure appeared clearly in everyone's sight, and he was riding a maroon horse.

Yan Li urged the horses in his arms with excitement and kept galloping, rushing towards the east quickly. When the horses disappeared from everyone's sight, Yan Li had already rushed to the top ten.

Tubari said in admiration: "Brother Yanli is really good. Xiaohong from my family is not the best horse in the clan. It is not easy for him to rush to the front."

A Dai's spirit recovered a little and said, "Brother Yanli will definitely get the first one."

As the equestrian competition began, many spectators immediately ran to watch the wrestling competition. There were fewer people in the empty field. Xuan Yue pulled A Dai's arm and said, "A Dai, Brother Rock, let's take a look at the wrestling."

The wrestling competition has also entered a fierce competition. Only the last four Warriors remain in the field, and the winner of this game will be able to participate in the final.

The four big men in the venue were all naked. Except for one of them, the other tall figures were not at all under the rocks. The techniques of pulling, pulling, pushing, shoving, hooking, mixing were at a limit and were in a stalemate for a while.

With a bang, a player was thrown out by his opponent and fell to the ground and could not get up. They had experienced many games to participate in the semi-finals. Their physical strength was almost exhausted. Once they were severely dropped, it was difficult to get up again. On the other side, the slightly shorter player also won. He used a leg-holding drop to throw his opponent to the ground, and then pressed the opponent to win the game. The referee announced that the two had entered the finals, rested for a while, and started the final battle after the equestrian competition.

"Agudi, come on, you must win!" A crisp shout sounded from A Dai and others. Everyone looked closely and found that it was a girl from the Yalian tribe. The girl was about eighteen and nineteen years old. Although her skin was dark, she had a pair of bright big eyes. Among the Yalian tribe, she was also considered a black beauty. Her eyes were constantly flashing with a happy smile, and she stared at the first winner firmly. It was obvious that the man was her lover.

Tubari's eyes showed an intoxicated look and said, "Lan Ying is the number one beauty in our tribe and the daughter of our tribe chief. She has been growing up with Aguti's childhood sweetheart. Aguti has been practicing wrestling hard in recent years, just to win the competition today and marry Lan Ying home with a dignified manner. Aguti is an orphan with a poor family. If she does not use this method, she will not be able to marry Lan Ying. This year, Lan Ying is eighteen years old. No matter who wins the final wrestling competition, she will probably designate her to be her wife. So, this is also Aguti's last chance."

Yanshi looked at the lively Lan Ying and said in a daze: "I hope they can finally get married with lovers."

"Look, it's Brother Yanli who is back." Xuan Yue's scream led everyone's eyes. Sure enough, with the thunderous sound of horse hooves, Yanli took the lead, and did not pull the reins. He completely controlled the horse under his crotch with his legs. He held a red flag in one hand and waved a battle axe in the other, and kept shouting loudly. Even the horse closest to him was about ten meters away.

Ah Dai and others all stood up and shouted Yan Li's name loudly. The few horses chasing behind him rushed to him several times, trying to steal the banner from his hand, but as soon as he waved the battle axe in his hand, he immediately scared those people back, and no one dared to get too close to him.

Tubari shouted happily: "I'll go and pick up brothers Yanli." After that, he ran wildly towards the finish line. At this time, Yanli had already left all his opponents behind and successfully crossed the finish line and won the championship of the riding competition. He looked excited and kept waving the banner in his hand. Many Yalian tribe members surrounded him and kept shouting. It seemed that they would not come back for a while.

Yan Shi shook his head and sighed, "This kid still loves to show off."

A Dai smiled foolishly and said, "Brother Yanli won the championship this time, so he has two horses to ride. We just need to buy two more horses."

Xuan Yue said: "Who said you want to buy two more horses? One is enough. People won't be able to ride horses. You have to take me with you at that time."

A Dai smiled bitterly and said, "But, but my horse-riding skills are not good!"

Xuan Yue said: "I don't care. You can just take me with you at that time. Wouldn't you ride slowly?"

At this time, the final of the wrestling match had begun. The girl named Lan Ying squeezed to the front and kept cheering for her beloved Aguti. Aguti's figure was similar to Aguti, and was stronger than Akuti. The veins on her dark skin were exposed, and sweat kept dripping from her handsome face. Obviously, the previous game had consumed too much physical strength. His opponent was the strong man with a low figure. Although he was also tired, he looked more energetic than Aguti. As soon as the referee announced the start of the game, the two roared at the same time and rushed towards their opponents. The four arms were entangled together, and they tried hard to throw their opponents out. The game entered a stalemate. The two seemed to be similar in strength, and no one could do anything to each other for a while. Lan Ying looked at Aguti anxiously and kept shouting.
Chapter completed!
