My Little Pony: Changelings

Chapter 237: The Hero's Shortness of Breath (Part )

Looking at the huge figure stepping on the statue, the surrounding villagers and ponies became panicked. Then someone couldn't help but screamed, and the villagers and ponies fled in all directions, then ran back to the house and blocked the windows and doors.

After Qunxing Huanghuang glanced around, he found that only Daring Do and his companions were left at the scene, as well as Caballeron and his men who were preparing to leave quietly.

He stomped his claws down to stop Caballeron's steps, then Qunxinghuang raised his head, stretched out a claw, looked down at Caballeron and said.

"Where's what I want?"

After hearing this, Caballeron was so angry that he cursed Xiao Ma. What was going on? He had finally met these rich uncles, each one was more generous than the other, but he didn't expect that they were all monsters. Is the world so crazy now?

"Here...Here..."

Caballeron said tremblingly, and then asked his men to bring those shining stones over. After weighing the weight, Qunxinghuanghuang shook his head.

"Not enough! I meant everything!"

After the Stars roared, Caballeron jumped in fear, and then hurriedly called his men to go to the homes of the ponies who had not yet collected the stones to grab them. However, before they could take a few steps, Fearless and the others stopped Caballeron.

"We won't let you succeed!"

"That's right, come and have a taste of our power!"

Daring Do and Rainbow Dash took the lead and attacked Caballeron and the others. Starry Sky watched them fighting back and forth and gradually falling into a disadvantage. Starry Sky covered his head with his claws and rolled his eyes.

Then the Stars snapped their fingers, and the ponies stood still.

"What are you standing there for? Go!"

Caballeron found that he could move, so he ran out quickly, while Rainbow Dash, who was still in the sky, stared at the stars angrily. Daring Do stood still on the ground and said.

"Sphinx, what do you want the shining stone for?"

"Ah? Need I explain? Dream Walker solved the puzzle I gave her and ruined my plan, so I decided to destroy everything related to her! Then let this village continue to be under my great rule!"

Hearing this, the villagers who were still clinging to the windows in the room were frightened and hid in a hurry, while Caballeron looked at the brilliant stones they threw through the crack in the door with complacency. He originally thought that there would be no difficulties, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.

When Fearless Pegasus heard this, he rolled his eyes and then came up with an idea.

"Since you like riddles, let's make a bet. If I can solve your riddle, you will release the village. How about that?"

"Oh? You want to learn the deeds of the Dream Walker?"

"Yes."

Seeing Fearless speaking confidently, Qunxing Huanghuang suddenly laughed, then pounded the ground with her claws on both sides of Fearless, lowered her head to her eyes and spoke to Fearless.

“Why should we help these villagers?”

Then Qunxing Huanghuang stood up, clenched his fists in front of his chest, then opened his fists and stretched them around, pointing at the houses and speaking.

"They insult you, slander you, and even criticize you. Why do you help them? They are a bunch of ignorant, stupid people who don't know what justice is, just like this fence-sitter?"

"That's because they were bewitched by Caballeron, and what I did was not right. This is what I should compensate them for. This is what I should do. This is what Fearless Pegasus should do!"

"Well said, that's it, Daring Do!"

Rainbow Dash cheered happily to show her agreement, and Caballeron also brought all the remaining brilliant stones in the village at this time.

After Qunxing Huanghuang put all the shining stones into the bag, he pointed outside the village. Caballeron immediately understood and did not want to pay. He hurriedly ran out with his men, fearing that Qunxing Huanghuang would leave them here.

Qunxing Huanghuang snapped his fingers, and Fearless and the others found that they could move. When they gathered together, Qunxing Huanghuang coughed and started to make riddles.

In the past a long time ago,

(In the distant past,)

I used to rule here,

(I rule here,)

High taxes are only to satisfy selfish desires.

(High taxes are only for the purpose of satisfying selfish desires.)

The stars spoke with great emotion, covering their eyes with their wings, then suddenly opened them, then stretched out their claws, pointed at the sun in the sky, then held it and placed it on their chest.

The wave of resistance is fragile,

(The tide of resistance was weak,)

Until her arrival broke my rule,

(Until she came and broke my rule.)

Solved my riddle,

(Solved my riddle,)

Passed my test,

(Passed my test,)

As he spoke, Qunxing Huanghuang pounded the ground, roared angrily, then flew into the sky, circled over the village, and then flew back to Fearless Pegasus and continued.

I was forced to leave for this,

(For this I leave forever,)

Until they forget the most important thing.

(Until they forget what's most important,)

What is hope?

(What is hope?)

After Qunxing Huanghuang coughed, he said to Fearless Pegasus.

"Okay, now tell me, what is the answer to my riddle?"

"What? You didn't even ask us, so how can we guess?"

When Rainbow Dash hears this, she angrily retorts to Starlight, but Starlight just shakes her paw to indicate that this is wrong, and then points her paw at Daring Do.

Fearless Pegasus adjusted his hat and thought about the song that the Stars had just sung. Why did she sing like that? This is the story of the Dream Walker, but... this doesn't seem to be a riddle, right? Suddenly, he thought of something, and Fearless Pegasus said.

"The answer is hope, right? Just like what the dream walker said."

Qunxing Huanghuang laughed, and just when they thought they had passed the test, Qunxing Huanghuang poured a bucket of cold water on them.

"No, you still have...one chance."

Starlight pointed at Pinkie Pie, and when Rainbow Dash heard it, her face puffed up with anger, and she was ready to move her hoof in a bad temper, but Daring Do bit her tail.

"Hey, she's just trying to embarrass us. This isn't a riddle at all, and there's no answer to it!"

"Rainbow Dash, calm down. There are always more solutions than problems. We will definitely find the answer."

Just as they were thinking about the answer, Pinkie Pie suddenly said something. After hearing it, Qunxinghuang was stunned for a moment, then pounded his chest angrily, grabbed the bag of shining stones, and flew to the distant pyramid. After using magic to fish out the blindfold from it, he left.

When the other villagers saw Daring Do driving away the Sphinx, they ran out of the room, lifted them up and cheered. After Daring Do insisted on paying compensation for his damage, he heard Rainbow Dash say to Pinkie Pie next to him.

"You untied it?"

"Yeah, the answer is simple, right?"

"What is it?"

Rainbow Dash pressed Pinkie Pie and said impatiently, while Pinkie Pie thought about it and said with a sparkle in her eyes.

"Singing water word count ~"
