Chapter 582: Iceland Shock (114)

Of course, the dance cannot be held in the dining area. The local Icelandic host led everyone to walk to the seaside. It was a flat beach with only a few small lights illuminating the surroundings. It was very close to the sea water. The person standing closest to the front They could even feel the waves crashing at their feet.

“Look, only Iceland has such a natural flat sand surface suitable for dressage competitions.”

The host turned his back to the sea and spoke passionately to the tourists and tour guides. He was even moved to tears and choked with sobs.

It is indeed a dressage ball but is actually a dressage competition.

Miao Fangfei thought to herself as she listened to the host talking about the history of Icelandic horse racing. The dressage competition is held on a flat sandy ground that is sixty meters long and twenty meters wide. Each rider controls the horse, performs various steps and completes various consecutive actions within the prescribed twelve minutes*, but tonight's The rules must be different from those of a serious dance competition. The twelve minutes of performance time for each pair alone far exceeds the total time of the dance.

"A costume party is a competition between riders and horses. People wear costumes and horses dance, presenting an unparalleled visual effect to everyone. This is the highest state of riding art!*"

The host was impassioned, and the music of the accompaniment band rose and fell with his words, setting off the atmosphere perfectly: "So I ask each of you to choose a partner. The single person is not qualified to participate in the costume dance and will be eliminated directly."

He smiled and said meaningfully: "Fortunately, everyone has found a partner."

As soon as the host said these words, all the tourists and tour guides present felt awe-inspiring. Especially Miao Fangfei and others, they have estimated the current number of survivors. If there are no deaths on the third day, excluding the two brigades of Dream Chaser and Lizard Duke, then the total number of tourists and tour guides present will be an odd number, that is to say There will be one person who doesn't make the right match.

And just now the hunter happened to kill a 'polar bear'... In this way, they can all make a pair.

Partners are very important, and this elimination is probably a pair-by-pair elimination. Lu Taoist's heart was awe-inspiring, but his face remained unchanged. He glanced at his chosen partner from the corner of his eye. He also figured out the subtle choice between the knight and the horse, but Lu Daoren still chose his teammate, the young man who had been close to Qing brother Dong Yang and saved his life.

Theoretically speaking, if everyone on the same team chooses someone from outside the team and strives to be a horse, then members of the team will have a higher chance of advancing to the horse racing stage, but this is not how the calculation works.

First of all, you have to be qualified in the costume party. It is difficult to have such tacit understanding and cooperation with randomly selected partners.

So so far, most travelers who have found teammates still form a team with familiar teammates. Even if only one of the two can advance, it is better than neither of them being able to enter.

They are fighting and plotting against each other here, but they can easily be shot. When the man from the West District was shot, Mr. Lu was not far away. The deer had good ears. He vaguely heard the words "How about we kill that man?" Then the man was shot dead. His accomplices were so frightened that they were incoherent and crazy. Insulting and cursing, he swore that he didn't want to kill anyone at all, so he wasn't killed by the hunter.

The person who wants to kill people at the dance is naturally the polar bear hiding among the horses.

But the hunter shot him directly without any evidence investigation, which made Lu Daoren's scalp numb. If his teammate didn't mean well and deliberately said something like, 'You want to kill him, right?', the hunter would most likely shoot him indiscriminately!

I don't know how many people are aware of this. Mr. Lu is worried that this dance may be completely chaotic.

"Okay, now the rider in the pair is standing on the left and the Icelandic horse is standing on the right."

"The assessment of horse racing for costumed riders is different, but the results will be recorded according to the overall performance. The disqualifications of both of you will be recorded in your combination. I emphasize again that if there are three disqualifications in total, you will be disqualified from participating in the following events and will Being punished, if your performance is too bad, you will most likely be disqualified three times in the first assessment and be eliminated!”

"Okay, everyone, stand still, don't tell me that you haven't decided on your respective identities yet."

Seeing that there were still people hesitating in the venue, the host immediately lowered his face and said angrily: "Don't you partners have such a tacit understanding? Huh? You, you, and you, stand up quickly!"

"Come here, come to my side!"

Miranda felt the host's sharp eyes sweep over them, and she felt a little more anxious. She pulled Roger, who was looking aside absentmindedly, and scolded: "Stop looking for your girlfriend, come here and stand still."

It was a coincidence that she and Roger met. Miranda and the others' attraction today was extremely difficult. It could be said that there was no chance to breathe after the end, and they were dragged to the dance scene without stopping. Miranda and the others were all seriously injured and had yet to recover. Just taking the time to recover was exhausting, and there was no time to agree on a secret code for peace.

Especially when she put on a mask and a dress and saw everyone at the ball dressed like this, Miranda's heart sank even more. Only teammates who can be trusted can support each other to gain breathing space and try their best to adjust their condition. Finding a partner casually will only worsen the situation. Miranda calmly talked to many people and tested each other. Everyone present made up their own minds. False name and code name, hoping that his teammates can find him.

And when Miranda was very lucky, she met a man who called himself George! As soon as the name George came out, her radar immediately lit up in her heart. It was very likely that this man was from their team or the C-director team. During the conversation, Miranda found that this man liked to boast and show off, but in fact he was timid. He was still frightened by the shooting of the West District man just now. He kept talking about looking for a wife - is it you, Roger!

Miranda tried several times and became more and more suspicious that the man in front of her was Roger. Although in Miranda's eyes, this man was the same height and body shape as her, and spoke in a female voice, the strong man's feeling was very obvious. She wanted to try more, but she didn't have time, so she temporarily formed a team with him - it was still her initiative, because 'Roger' seemed to realize that she was not Betty, and had been wanting to leave to find his girlfriend, but this made the hesitant Miranda determined that there was no time to find someone else, so it was better to take a gamble.

Miranda was actually cautious and rarely gambled. She hoped that Director Bing could give her some good luck in gambling, not too much, as long as this partner could cooperate with her a little, because Miranda had a secret - she was already a candidate for the bear king!

On the first day, she polluted Di Feiyu. At today's Erya Music Festival, she accidentally "polluted" Yin Qiaoqiao, allowing her to recover her memory. In these three days, she polluted two Icelandic horses. According to the Devil Merchant's brooch, "the polar bear who defiles/captures more than two Icelandic horses in the same team will become the bear king." Once she becomes the bear king, she will be immune to the residents' shooting and receive a high reward.

By then, Miranda will be completely fearless, but she is currently only a candidate for the bear king. There is only one last step to become the real bear king - that is to kill the hunter.

"Okay, very good, it seems that everyone is ready, so tonight's dressage ball officially begins... eh?"

The host laughed at first, then suddenly frowned: "How can the riders not wear dresses for a dressage ball?"

"White horses are good, but riders, you are really not decent... But don't worry, there is everything at the ball tonight, we have prepared it long ago, but children also know that there is no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world, so you need to find these dresses."

"I can only give you some hints: black broad-brimmed hats are in the sky, black swallowtails are on the ground, and high-top riding boots are in the ocean."

Black broad-brimmed hats, black swallowtails and high-top riding boots are the standard outfits for riders participating in most dressage competitions. The host's words made the tour guides and tourists present breathless, and the audience in the live broadcast room outside the venue also said that this attraction is a bit interesting.

[I thought this uniform costume meant "mask", white mask, white dress, all white, it turned out to be a white horse! 】

【I looked up the mythology book, and the mounts of the Valkyries in mythology are winged white horses】

【You can't see the face under the mask. Does it mean that most people find it difficult to accurately distinguish the difference between pure white horses? 】

【Then the knights can see their faces. Will the knights in riding clothes be able to see their faces? ? 】

【They should wear masks, after all, it's a masquerade】

【The person who knows horses best can find his own "horse". Does the scoring start from here? If you don't find a partner on the same team, you will be disqualified? 】

【It's so strict! There are usually nine Valkyries recorded in Norse mythology, which means there are only nine horses at most. Nine combinations can get the highest reward tonight. Do you think the elimination rate is amazing?]

[It shouldn't be so strict, my God...]

Someone in the barrage didn't believe that the ball tonight was so strict, and then the host's enthusiastic voice sounded in the live broadcast:

"How interesting, this is also part of the ball, isn't it? In addition, we have prepared nine sets of the most luxurious and elegant costume combinations, hidden in this tree wall maze. Find the partner in the maze and you will get full marks in this section!"

There are really nine sets of costumes, corresponding to nine Valkyries!

Knowing that the Valkyries will be involved tonight and the Aurora will appear, Miao Fangfei, Lu Daoren and other teams of tourists and guides were beating their hearts wildly. Even if they didn't know and only heard the host say 'find a partner in the costume will get full marks', those strong tourists naturally didn't want to fall behind and wanted to compete.

"Don't worry about the others, just go to the maze later."

Miranda said decisively immediately. Hearing her say this, 'Roger' looked at her with appreciation.

"Of course, I think so too."

"We must not only advance to the last round, but also get as good a result as possible!"

"That's right."

Of course he wants 'George' to advance to the last round, the hunter thought. When the Icelandic horses go to the race, the hunter will no longer have to maintain order in the field, which means that the invitation from the organizer of the dance has ended and he can go down to rest. Just after a sneak peek, he vowed to get this little wolf and take as many photos of it as possible. When he thought about parting with it after the dance tonight, the hunter had the urge to steal the wolf.

To prevent loss of contact, please remember the alternate domain name of this site:

He was not a good person in the first place. If there was no real soul connection between 'George' and the wolf, he would definitely take the little ghost away without hesitation. But now the hunter has not given up this idea. He wants to get a good result for George so that he can stay to the last round, so that when he goes to participate in the race, he can take the opportunity to meet the little ghost again.

Of course she wants Roger to advance to the last, Miranda thought. It is almost impossible to kill a hunter in a dressage ball. They are now hired by the organizer. Once they kill a hunter, they will immediately become enemies with the organizer and be hunted by all hunters. Miranda is not a C-director, she dare not, and she does not have the strength to take this risk.

Then there is only one chance to kill a hunter - as a reserve bear king, Miranda got a simple hunter work schedule and the process of tonight's dressage ball.

Hunters are hired by the ball to maintain order in the field during the entire dressage competition until the horse racing begins, and they will rest.

Riders and horses eliminated in the dressage stage will be sent out directly and become spectators of the final horse racing stage. They will not have rewards and cannot move freely. Riders and Icelandic horses who advance to the horse racing stage will be ranked according to their scores. The top eight will have special arrangements, and the riders will be separated from the Icelandic horses.

Why the top eight? Not the top three, five, or ten? Is there any special arrangement to separate the riders and Icelandic horses?

Miranda didn't understand at first, but when she heard the host say there were nine sets of costumes, a flash of inspiration flashed through her mind. After the two days of scenic spots, Miranda was extremely sensitive to Norse mythology, and inspiration suddenly burst out.

Nine is exactly the number of Valkyries, and among the Valkyries, Slude has died and turned into an iceberg, and there are exactly eight Valkyries left. The Valkyries wear bird-winged golden helmets, and the symbol of this ball is bird wings. The Valkyries ride white horses, and their masks tonight are all "white horses". If this is not completely certain, then corresponding to the sentence on the Icelandic travel itinerary "In the aurora, you see the gods gathering on the world tree", the aurora is closely related to the Valkyries, and there is a "tree wall" maze in this ball venue!

Of course, Miranda has no absolute evidence, everything is just speculation, but she thinks there are enough clues! Why are the top eight riders in the final results of horse racing separated from Icelandic horses? Because their final mission is most likely to attract the Valkyries to come, and the Valkyries will become their knights.

But Miranda didn't care about this, because she was a polar bear and was destined to not be able to follow this task chain. She was focused on how to kill the hunter.

During the whole ball, the riders had three destinations besides death. The first was to be disqualified and eliminated quickly, and then be controlled by the organizers and finally become spectators. The second was to participate in the final horse race, but not in the top eight. Then the rider would have to compete with the Icelandic horse partner, and there was no chance to leave alone.

Only the riders who strived to get into the top eight, they did not participate in the final horse race, nor did they go to be spectators, and there was a high probability that they would have free time! At this time, the hunter was no longer hired by the organizer, and it was the best and only time for Miranda to kill the hunter.

The polar bear task was arduous, but the reward was also very generous. In addition to the doubled points reward, after killing the hunter, she could not only become the polar bear king, get the corresponding huge rewards and even titles, but also get the identity and equipment of the hunter. These hunters were all "Icelandic natives". With this identity, Miranda was no longer afraid of being identified as a polar bear, and could get many preferential treatments and benefits in the subsequent journey.

Starting tomorrow, the difficulty of the attractions will increase, and the journey will enter a new stage. Miranda decided to give it a try tonight. As for Roger, if he really participates in the final horse race, there is a risk of being exposed. She can also lend him the polar bear skin in advance to keep him safe as much as possible.

Roger can't think of so many things. He still wants to rush to the end to get the final reward.

Thinking of this, Miranda suppressed her conscience, which was a little uneasy, and firmly decided to carry out the plan. The two people with their own ulterior motives have the same goal - to make 'Roger'/'George' successfully advance to the horse race (top eight)!

"Please note that due to the large number of partners participating in the dance this time, the scene may be a little chaotic. Riders and Icelandic horses should always keep physical contact and do not separate! Once separated, a disqualification will be recorded - of course, the rider must always ride on the horse, right?"

The host was passionate: "Now, please start looking for the costumes. You only have half an hour!"

His order instantly excited the band's music, and the crowd dispersed like a tide. Nearly half of them scattered to the beach, and the rest ran to the tree wall maze without hesitation. How do riders and Icelandic horses keep physical contact at all times? Some people hold hands, but this is bound to be slow and easy to be separated, but the lizard hunter did not hesitate. After the host said to start, he picked up his partner and carried her on his back, rushing towards the tree wall maze at a high speed.

They were close to the maze, and the hunter rushed forward and Miranda secretly threw lime powder to fascinate her eyes. This pair of partners rushed to the first place and rushed into the tree wall maze first amid the chaos and curses.

[First! Look at this first partner team, so fierce! ]

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room instantly became hot. After the masquerade began, the live broadcast rooms of various countries, regions and teams were combined together. All the audience gathered together. The number of barrages was so dense that the screen was refreshed so fast that it was like a lava flow gushing out. After they formed a partnership, the live broadcast room became a split screen of dozens of small partners. At present, this first partner team attracted the attention of countless viewers. Everyone guessed who they were under the skin. After guessing, most of the audience guessed that it was the peak traveler.

[This speed and this reaction ability are definitely the top boss! 】

【The top bosses can’t be so reckless. I think the first one is definitely not a boss, but a scapegoat who is exploring the way. Just wait, they will definitely die soon! 】

[Fart, they've found the costume suit! My mom is so fast, is this person cheating? You found it within three minutes of entering the maze? 】

[Maybe it’s just luck. After all, it’s a warm-up match, so it’s impossible to cheat.]

[Speaking of it being like cheating all the way through the competition, there is only one man in my heart, cough cough]

To prevent loss of contact, please remember the alternate domain name of this site:

[Okay, I know you are a fan of Director C, and I am also a fan of Director B, but this first team cannot be Director C and the others, okay]

[Just to say one thing, Director B is so smart that he definitely aims at horse racing. He must be a horse, not a human being]

[If a rider is riding a horse, it must be a horse carrying a person. Have you ever seen a guide carrying a person? 】

[Being carried on the back is not bad, hahahaha, I also want to carry Director C on the back! 】

【I want, too! 】

[Hahahahaha, Director B is cheating on someone, hahahaha, will such a day really happen?]

[Don’t digress, the entrance to the maze was so crowded that a melee started. Being the first one to run in was definitely a genius decision. This pair must be the top traveler duo and they didn’t run away.]

[Why is it impossible for a top traveler to be an A-class or S-class tour guide? Dreamcatcher and Lizard Duke are probably both there! 】

[Hey, you just have to fight, right? The National People's Congress tour guide must be a horse, and the rider can't reach the end, but I'm not telling you, have you ever seen a tour guide carrying someone on his back? 】

[The tour guides are all sick and weak, don’t let them push you down]

[I’m laughing so hard, you’re still weak when you’re as powerful as a great director? One look from a person can make you have a nervous breakdown, okay? But I also think that there cannot be a big tour guide in the first partner team. The Dream Chaser and the Lizard Duke are definitely hunters! 】

[Just those two hunters, I have been following them for a long time. The one with horns and the one with dragon scales must be the two of them! 】

[I understand this question. The devil corresponds to the red lizard. This corresponding illusion was just seen today in our Icelandic live broadcast room. Rounding things off, the one with horns is most likely the Lizard Duke, and the one with scales on the mask is definitely the Dream Chaser]

[Thanks to the hotel, there is a special live broadcast camera to shoot the hunter. The travel guide (hotel director) added chicken legs this time! 】

[Can I say that I have been watching this live broadcast and not watched the grouping or looking for costumes at all? The Lizard Duke is so fierce. When the dream chaser walked over, he directly raised his gun! 】

[They will definitely fight, my God, the Lizard Duke is not a good person. He is the leader of the West District Butcher Alliance, and he is the same as Jiayi here]

[Dream Chaser must be at a disadvantage, look at him reaching out - ah? ? 】

The scene in the live broadcast room at this moment shocked all the viewers.

Suddenly, the 'Dream Chaser' raised his hand and pressed the barrel of the 'Lizard Duke''s gun. The next moment, he leaned forward without any warning. The two were so close that they were almost touching each other!

Bingyi's finger blocked the dragon hunter's finger that was about to pull the trigger. To Bingyi's surprise, the dragon hunter's strength was weaker than he thought. If this was the lizard hunter, he would have broken off his finger and fired. His thoughts It flashed by but did not delay Bingyi's movements. The moment he got close, Bingyi thrust something into the dragon hunter's hand as quickly as possible.

"Shut up, don't make any sound."

Sensing the sudden movement of the dragon hunter, Bingyi lowered his voice, imitating the tone of the lizard hunter, and gritted his teeth: "I... laid an egg."

"help me."

These unbelievable words and the rare weak success made the dragon hunter freeze. He looked at him in disbelief, as if he was stunned. This is exactly the effect Bingyi wants! He didn't have much time to observe and figure things out, and to take things step by step. The communication with the little ghost also let him know the real intention of the lizard hunter - no matter who George was, he wanted to abduct the wolf. He had expected this, but it also showed that the time left for him was not long.

The lizard hunter is related to George's force, so is the dragon hunter, who has the same strength and status as him, related to George's force, or is he an enemy of George's force?

Bingyi wanted to interact with the dragon hunter as quickly as possible, so he was willing to take risks, but he was also somewhat sure. What he gave to the dragon hunter was the egg of the volcanic lava giant lizard. Who can say that this egg has nothing to do with the lizard hunter? As long as the dragon hunter is really confused and thinks about it, he will fall into Bingyi's trap.

"Let's go over there and talk."

Seeing that the dragon hunter was covered, Bingyi immediately pulled the dragon hunter and walked to the side. By the time the dragon hunter reacted, they had already avoided the crowd and went to the backlit corner behind the seaside stage to chat privately!
