The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 85 85. Pastoral areas do not support idlers

Patricia's bull riding performance was like a rock concert, only with an extra angry bull on stage!

After he got off the bull, he was chased all over the place by the bull. It was not until a group of staff rushed to control the bull that he was able to breathe.

Lin Feng guessed that he was so frightened that his legs weakened, but he still calmly waved to the audience's applause.

I have to admire this guy's mentality and courage. The scene of Patricia riding a bull and galloping will definitely become a topic of conversation after dinner, but he probably doesn't care.

Next, all the cowboys from Riverdale Town appeared on the stage. Not many of them could stay on the back of the bull for eight seconds. Basically, they were overturned by the bull as soon as they appeared on the stage.

The cowboy from Otto Ranch is an exception. He has made a solid appearance. Just like Matthew and Brown before him, it seems that he should also be the favorite to win.

It's Cassidy's turn, and Lin Feng is looking forward to his performance.

Cassidy took off his helmet, but he was still very brave, saying he would rather be stepped on by a cow than dress up as Iron Man.

In fact, it is normal to wear a helmet when participating in a bull riding competition. Even the top riders in the PBR will do so. However, in Riverdale Town, this is a symbol of cowardice and will be looked down upon.

Cassidy is really a bit tragic, and Lin Feng kept encouraging him before going on stage.

"I hope I don't embarrass my dad. I don't have the courage like Patricia."

With that said, he entered the side fence.

The bull that partners with Cassidy is named Storm, which doesn't sound like a good guy.

The nostrils are large, and you can see the white smoke it emits when it breathes heavily.

"Cassidy Lambert of Witch Ranch!"

The host shouted his name loudly, and Teresa on the sidelines was very excited and took the lead to help her boyfriend create an atmosphere.

At this time, Lin Feng and Jia Simin were already hugging each other.

Jasmine continued to wrap her arms around his neck gently from behind, and the two of them chatted quietly, as if the hundreds of people on the sidelines didn't exist.

"My dear, look at your masterpiece." Lin Feng pointed to the little strawberry on his neck.

Jia Simin smiled sweetly and said she would continue, and then took another bite, which made Lin Feng feel like he was electrocuted.

Cassidy, wearing a black vest and a brown cowboy hat, appears!

The bull "Storm" is just like its name, the bull's hooves are about to hit the sky.

The poor little card was knocked forward and backward. Fortunately, he did not fall, but he was still in danger.

He held the reins tightly and tried to control his balance, but the power of "Storm" was too great, and he was thrown away in the fourth second!

However, it was not over yet. The big bull ran back toward Cassidy on the ground, but the staff stopped him in time to avoid stepping on him.

At this time, the "storm" changed direction!

He rushed towards the auditorium on the sidelines and scared the people in the first row to death!

"Stop! Stop!"

Adrian shouted loudly on the field, but the bull, who was in a state of madness, was still trying to rush into the crowd.

The situation was out of control. The staff were all temporary workers and were not equipped to deal with emergencies.

Lin Feng felt something was wrong. Cassidy, who was about to leave the field, was limping when he suddenly fell to the ground. He must have broken a bone.

"Storm" was still trying hard to reach the stands, when an old cowboy jumped into the field from the other end and made his debut.

It was old David, who suddenly appeared like the savior of the staff and jogged towards the bull without any fuss.

"Storm"'s body trembled violently, its eyes widened, and the hot air sprayed from its nostrils became even more intense.

Apparently, it hasn't given up on the madness yet.

David knew how to get the cow's attention, and soon he was leading Storm away to the center of the field, much to the relief of those in the front row.

He was very experienced. The bull that had dodged and retreated several times was dizzy, and finally hit the iron fence. His head was probably buzzing.

David used a beautiful turn to avoid it. It was hard to imagine that an old guy who was almost sixty years old could make such an action.

"Storm" knocked itself out and its strength was almost exhausted. The staff quickly gave it a tranquilizer, and it was finally over. Cassidy looked pale, and his girlfriend Teresa helped him limp down.

He was quite optimistic. He waved to Lin Feng and asked with a smile if he was too weak.

Lin Feng told him that everyone who can play is a hero, and the applause at the scene also proved this.

Cassidy's father should be relieved that his son, who had no interest in ranching six months ago, is now participating in rodeos.

The bull riding competition is full of spectacle, and the prize money of 200,000 US dollars motivates every cowboy who competes.

Soon it was noon, which meant it was Lin Feng's turn to make his appearance.

After watching "Turn Back" all morning, to be honest, he was a little nervous and worried that he would make a fool of himself. After all, he had no previous experience.

Jasmine gave Lin Feng the greatest encouragement, and her lips were the best medicine in the world.

The warm afternoon sunshine filled the entire arena.

The equestrian rodeo is divided into three rounds, one for each of three days, and the final will be a competition between the eight top riders in River Valley Town.

Today's first round will feature four group matches, each with eight horses. The top four will advance to tomorrow's second round, while the losers will pack up and go home.

Lin Feng stayed with Joey before going on stage.

At this time Doudou came over and said quietly to him: "Hey brother, how are you preparing for the game? I bet you ten dollars. Don't let me down. The salary of the police is not high."

Every bull riding competition in the morning has a betting session, with a few dozen dollars adding to the atmosphere.

"What's the situation outside? Are there many people holding me captive?" Lin Feng asked.

Doudou looked confused, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Nonsense, of course it's true."

Doudou shrugged, "Very few."

It makes sense that no one is willing to invest their money in an unknown stranger unless they want to try their luck.

Standing on the track, it is a wonderful feeling to be watched by thousands of people.

Of course the audience is not that big, but the atmosphere created by hundreds of people is also great.

Bennett's horse named "Eye of the Storm" became the focus of the audience, and people wanted to see with their own eyes what a horse worth five million dollars would look like.

Stormeye's heart is said to weigh 18 pounds, and the average Thoroughbred's heart is 8.5 pounds.

A big heart means big lungs, and big lungs means you can run.

The most important thing for horse racing is pedigree, and Storm Eye is definitely noble in this regard.

He is a descendant of the famous racehorse American Pharoah.

“美国法老”职业生涯11战，获得9冠1亚的战绩，在其获胜的9场比赛中，其中有8场一级赛、1场二级赛冠军。

The most famous one is winning the title of "American Triple Crown" in 2015. This is the 1978th Triple Crown horse in American history since 12.

After winning the Triple Crown, "American Pharoah" continued to compete in the Breeders' Cup Classic and won again. After his retirement, his breeding fee was US$60,000.

Overall, Eye of the Storm is the queen of famous families and the absolute "King of Horses" in Riverdale Town.

Lin Feng was a little lucky that he was not in the same group as Bennett. This guy took the first place in that group without any suspense. He was as fast as a gust of wind!

The moment the eye of the storm crossed the line, the whole audience cheered, and even Lin Feng couldn't help but admire him.

"It's our turn Joey."

He patted Joey's head gently, trying to convey confidence.
