Chapter 550 Story

"Why do you run along the shore? Instead of swimming directly?" Rhodes asked.

"The water in this lake is very deep. Every time I race with that turtle, I can only run around the lake, but it can swim directly, so I lose every time." The white horse ran side replied.

In many places in the real world, there is a story called the turtle-horse race.

Although the name of this story is similar to that of the tortoise and the hare that Rhodes had heard before, there is a big difference in essence.

In the tortoise and the hare race, the hare will lose to the tortoise because it thinks it is too easy to win the tortoise, so it takes a nap, while the tortoise keeps crawling, and when the hare wakes up, the tortoise has reached the finish line.

In the story of the turtle-horse race, there is a tortoise who is ridiculed by other small animals for moving slowly every day, so it proposes to run a race with a white horse that is good at running.

The white horse disagreed at first, but under the aggressive method of the tortoise, he still agreed to the tortoise's invitation.

Before the scheming tortoise offered the invitation to race, he expected that the proud white horse would give way to him. After the white horse agreed to run with it, the tortoise made another request, which was that it had to decide the route of the race.

The proud white horse agreed to the tortoise's request without even thinking about it, and there was a lake on the race route set by the tortoise, which was not only very large but also very deep.

Even if you try to cross this lake with the physical strength of a white horse, you will drown in it.

It was not until halfway through the race that the white horse discovered the tortoise's plot, and finally the cunning tortoise won the race...

The white horse that Rhodes is riding now, the lake in front of him, and the big tortoise he encountered before are all "creatures" that exist in the conscious world, and they even gave birth to themselves. Consciousness, but their thoughts are relatively simple, and they will subconsciously repeat the content of that story.

Even Rhodes has heard this story, so one can imagine how widely this story spread.

In the lake not far away, the big tortoise that Rhodes met earlier poked its head out.

"Don't you race against me?" asked the big turtle.

"It's carrying out my training plan, and it will go back to race with you in a few days." Rhodes hurriedly replied.

The negative effects of Bane of the Wise are still affecting him.

"I didn't talk to you, you cheating guy." The big turtle said angrily.

"Just like what he said, I'm training." The white horse said, it was embarrassed to let this "old friend" know that it was working as a coolie.

"How to train?" The big tortoise showed a vigilant look.

"Can't you see it? Of course it's training with weights. God rewards hard work. I plan to let it run with weights for more than [-] hours a day during this time. When you compete with it next time, let's see what it is. True speed." Rhodes said with a serious face.

The running white horse showed a thoughtful expression.

Why didn't I think of this training method before?
It seems like running more does improve my speed, and after each race I'm a little faster.

I'm infinitely faster now than when I first raced that guy.

As long as I run with this human being on my back for more than [-] hours a day, even if I run around the lake in the future race, I will reach the finish line before that guy who can swim.

"No, I'm going to go to weight training too." After the big turtle finished speaking, he dived into the water.

After hearing what the big tortoise said, the white horse ran forward vigorously.

Since there were no saddles and stirrups, Rhodes, who was sitting on the back of the white horse, was bumped very uncomfortable.

But he didn't say anything, and continued to look at the surrounding scenery, looking for anything interesting.

At this time, a white dove flew across the sky. Without thinking, Rhodes stepped on the horse and flew into the air to catch it.

"Do you have any stories?" Rhodes landed on the horse, staring at the white pigeon in his hand and asked.

"I'm dying of thirst, I don't want to talk to you, let me go!" White Pigeon replied while struggling.

"Then go and drink water quickly." Rhodes threw the white pigeon in his hand into the lake.

Looking at the splashing water, Rhodes smiled happily again.

"I know it. I heard that it has a bottle. It is said that water will be continuously generated in this bottle, but the water will not fill the bottle. When it reaches a certain height, it will no longer generate water, so it will fly. Go to the lake to pick up stones and put them in the bottle, and when there are more stones and the water level rises, it will be able to drink the water in the bottle." The white horse explained panting while running.

"Then why doesn't it drink the lake water directly? It even flew to the lake to pick up stones." Rhodes asked.

"Who knows, maybe there is something magical about the water produced in that bottle." Baima replied.

"Then follow it quickly." Rhodes said, pointing to the white dove that flew back into the sky with a stone in its beak.

"An extra run just happens to increase your volume, which can make you run faster in the future," he adds.

"Okay." The white horse adjusted its direction and flew in the direction of the white pigeon.

Not long after, the white pigeon stopped and fell towards the ground.

On the ground below it stood a crystal clear crystal bottle containing some liquid.

It threw the stone into the bottle, and then it flew towards the lake again, ignoring Rhodes and the white horse.

"Stop." Rhodes patted the white horse.

He picked up the crystal bottle on the ground, when the system's notification sounded in his ear.

[The magical items condensed from the fantasies of countless people are handed over to the system for absorption, and the system can be upgraded. 】

"I'll also use this bottle to play for two days. As for whether you can absorb it or not, it will depend on my mood then."

Rhodes returned to the back of the white horse with the crystal bottle.

"Continue to run along the lake." Rhode sat on horseback and carefully looked at the crystal bottle.

In addition to some liquid that looks like water, there are also a few pebbles that white pigeons brought from the lake.

Rhodes turned the bottle over, poured some water on his index finger, and then he stuck out his tongue to lick the liquid on the index finger.

"Not bad, quite sweet." Rhodes nodded with satisfaction.

He used the mage ball to pull out all the stones in the bottle and threw them back into the lake, and then drank the water in the bottle.

"This water seems to be able to strengthen the soul." Rhodes clearly felt that his soul had become a little stronger.

Then the pigeon's voice came from behind: "Stop! Thief! Give me back the bottle!"

Rhodes looked back and saw the fat pigeon flying behind him and smiled: "I'm just a little hungry, and I don't know if the meat of this pigeon is delicious..."
