Chapter 2: Meteor(1/2)
The top frame is a comparison of strength corner to corner.
Standing is our tauren tradition, and it is more important than wrestling and dueling.
There are many orcs who can stand on a stand, such as deer-headed people, sheep-headed people and rhinoceros people. Unfortunately, their horns are either too brittle or too few, and they are not as good-looking as us tauren when standing on a stand.
This is what my grandfather told me.
A qualified tauren must do many things, one of which is to stand up.
Wrestling and dueling can hurt people and are best used against the enemy.
The top frame is our tauren's strength.
"Who will challenge me?" Kate stood up and shook off the mud.
Suddenly no one dared to speak.
Kate is half a year older than me and the strongest in our group.
I stood up: "Me!"
As the son of the best warrior in the village, I cannot embarrass my father.
This is what my brother taught me.
My elder brother once said: "Never mind the warriors, shamans, archers, our Duen family can do anything, but we can't be compared with them!"
My brother once defeated a friend who was one year older than him.
If my brother can do it, so can I!
Although I haven't officially had a fight with Kate...
In fact, before my brother came of age, I was his little follower, and no one dared to stand up to me.
Now, they are all grown up. My brothers who are eight or nine years old are all in training. Kate and I are the oldest among the remaining children.
Kate stared at me with her round eyes and said, "I've wanted to compete with you for a long time!"
Not to be outdone, I said, "Come on!"
He said: "Real or false?"
The real thing is just a casual competition in a muddy pond, and it doesn't matter whether you win or lose. The fake thing is just swearing and making bets like adults, and someone will prove it, and it will be remembered for a lifetime.
I said: "Of course it's true!"
Kyle said: "Okay, get out first!"
We walked through the mud into the nearby river, washed the mud off our bodies, and put on our clothes.
I put on the amulet made by my grandfather.
Kate suddenly said: "Bihon! Let's raise the stakes! If you lose, give me the amulet Grandpa Tar gave you!"
I said: "What if you lose?"
Kate said: "I give you the bow and arrows my father gave me!"
I said: "I don't want anything you don't want!"
Kate hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Then, I'll give you the wolf fang bracelet!"
The wolf tooth bracelet is made from the teeth of the frost wolf, the monster that Uncle Sangji killed. After putting it on, I feel cool all over. It is a good thing. My grandfather also made the amulet. If you don’t have it, you can get another one. I won’t suffer any loss...
…
I nodded: "That's it!"
"We are here to testify!" Other friends followed one after another.
The sun was almost setting, so we stood on a piece of grass by the river and got into position.
This is my first time fighting with someone, I can't lose!
This is not the first time for Kate. Kate’s opponents are all older brothers than us, so he also wants to win.
"You're going to lose, Bihon!" Kate said with a smile.
I snorted: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm from the Duen family!"
"Come on! Come on!" the friends shouted in unison.
I aimed at Kate, made fists with both hands, put them around my waist, lowered my head, and hit her!
"Boom!"
My horn hit his horn.
I feel like my head is shaking and dizzy...
Our Dunn family's horns are thick and pointed, as do my father, brother, and me.
Kate and Uncle Sanji's horns are thin and curved, and they are often laughed at by the people in the hunting team.
I leaned forward hard, put my hands on my hips, and pushed back hard with my hooves.
As expected, Kate was half a year older than me and was very strong. Soon, I was sweating, and my head and neck were aching.
However, I will not lose to him!
Because I am the son of the First Warrior!
Kate's strength became stronger and stronger, and I gritted my teeth and refused to back down.
I began to gasp for breath, and my heart began to beat wildly.
At the same time, I also heard Kate breathing heavily.
It seems that he is not relaxed either...
My brother once taught me that when I can barely hold on, my opponent is also holding on.
At this time, the outcome is not about who is stronger, but about who can hold on longer.
I'll hold on until Kate can't hold it any longer!
At this time, big beads of sweat remained on my forehead, flowing from the corners of my eyes to the side of my nostrils, and my nose began to itch.
Oops, I want to sneeze...
My nose is getting more and more uncomfortable, and my sneezes are suddenly coming out of my throat!
Are you going to lose?
I want to hold it back, but it's so difficult!
At this moment, some friends suddenly shouted: "Oh my God, look at the sky!"
Finally I couldn't stand it any longer and shouted, "Sneeze!"
I finally sneezed, and my whole body felt extremely comfortable. However, my body began to recede.
About to lose?
No, I have to hold on!
"Look, look, big fireball!" the friend shouted again.
"Wow!" Other friends also shouted.
"That's a shooting star!" someone shouted again.
"Meteor?" I heard Kate shout too.
Then, his horns retreated.
I raised my head and saw him looking at the sky stupidly.
I also wiped the sweat from my head and looked up.
The sun had just set, and in the western sky, a flaming fireball with a trailing tail was flying towards the village.
No, it is not coming towards the village, but towards the east of the village.
"Is this a shooting star?" I said.
Grandpa once told me that the stars are the children of the Mother Earth.
The Earth Mother Goddess is the oldest god and the mother goddess of our Minotaurs. The sun and moon are her eldest sons and daughters, and the stars are her youngest children.
When the stars in the sky fall to the ground, it means that the children of Mother Earth are about to die.
I stared blankly at the shooting stars, forgetting that I was fighting with someone.
The meteor slowly crossed the sky and fell towards the east.
I must go and see the child of Mother Earth!
I took steps and ran over there.
"Bihong, don't run!" Kate said anxiously, "Our top rack is not over yet!"
"The child of Meteor Earth Mother Goddess, I want to protect it!" I said, "We will talk about the top shelf later!"
To be continued...
