Chu Yuan and Zhu Yan made great progress. Fang Zhou and Zhao Luoyi, who were let go by Zhu Yan, arrived at a new mission point.
Upon arrival, the staff said, "Congratulations to both of you for successfully passing the first four levels. As the winners of the game, you will receive three clues when you reach our level. Of course, we will use a blind box format for the clues, and you can choose."
There are six boxes in front of the two people, three of which are real clues and three are false clues. Each box looks different.
"Is there any clue about whether the box is real or fake?" Fang Zhou asked.
If you choose directly like this, you will suffer a great loss.
"How about this," the staff member was easy to talk to. "As long as the two of you pass the tacit understanding test three times, you'll get a clue. We won't make it difficult for you, but you only have one chance."
To be honest, the two of them had only known each other for two or three days, so there was no tacit understanding between them, but in order to win, they still decided to give it a try.
“Who has contributed the most to the team so far?”
Fang Zhou and Zhao Luoyi answered in unison, "Chu Yuan."
"Who is the biggest drag on the team so far?"
The two looked at each other, tested each other's mouth shape, and said, "Han Xiaoyan."
After saying that, Fang Zhou explained, "It can't be said that he's holding us back. Han Xiaoyan just can't keep up with the pace. But that's understandable."
Zhao Luoyi followed up, "Besides, we're only familiar with Han Xiaoyan, not the others."
[I am dying of laughter. I am filled with a strong desire to survive.]
[It seems that people with the original ability are very popular. I feel that she is quite good now.]
[Han Xiaoyan must have failed every time he went on a mission there, hahahahaha.]
[I love watching them, handsome man and beautiful woman. ]
The staff smiled and said, "Okay."
"Next, please tell me your common strengths."
“Beautiful.” “Handsome.”
These were all words describing appearance, and the staff accepted them.
A real box with plum blossoms printed on it was pushed out.
There are still two real clues left, and it all depends on the luck of the two people.
"Never mind." Zhao Luoyi said, "Chu Yuan, give me strength so I can get the real clue."
Fang Zhou was puzzled, "Why do you say that the primordial element gives strength?"
Zhao Luo shrugged while holding a box, "I don't know, but I feel that Chu Yuan is very safe and powerful."
She opened the box and saw "True" written on the lid inside the box.
Zhao Luoyi looked up in disbelief, and Fang Zhou asked, "What's wrong?"
When he looked inside, he showed the same expression as Zhao Luoyi.
What's wrong? Let me see what centimeters are.
[This can't be a real clue, is Chu Yuan so magical? ]
The real clue with the deer pattern was found. Zhao Luoyi took advantage of this time to continue chanting Chu Yuan to give strength. When the third box with the mountain pattern was opened, it was also the real clue.
There were three clues in total, and they got all the real clues. Even the staff felt incredible.
I fiddled with the other three boxes to see if there was anything wrong, but found that there was nothing.
【Make a wish quickly, make a wish quickly, may Chu Yuan bless me. 】
[What's going on? Chu Yuan is lucky, but his friend Nian is also so lucky? ]
Zhao Luoyi had not expected Nian Chuyuan to be like this before. She just wanted to feel at ease, but the result was beyond her expectations and gave her more surprises.
She and Fang Zhou looked at the three real clues on the table.
The first one: Half smoke and half rain beside the river bridge, apricots and peaches reflected on the mountain road.
Article 2: The bell in the mountain temple rings as the day gets dark, and there is a lot of noise at the Yuliang Ferry.
Article 3: Looking at the white clouds in the distance.
After reading three lines of ancient poetry, Fang Zhou and Zhao Luoyi looked at each other.
"I know the first sentence seems to be describing the forest. What do the others mean?" Zhao Luoyi asked.
Fang Zhou thought about it, "The second sentence talks about night? The third one talks about the top of the mountain?"
Before the two could figure it out, the staff reminded them that they could leave.
"You two can choose to continue to climb to the summit, or you can choose another route. I would like to remind you that there will be more clues if you continue to climb to the summit."
Without discussing with each other, Fang Zhou and Zhao Luoyi both chose to go up.
At least there are clues above. Since they can't solve the mystery for the time being, they might as well find clues to find out.
[My best feature about this variety show is that I don't pretend to be good at it. Even if people don't know how to do something, they will honestly say they don't know how to do it.]
[This is wilderness survival. If you pretend to know something, you could easily get yourself killed. Besides, it's not easy to fool the audience these days.]
[Don't mention them, I don't even know what they mean.]
[I found this on Baidu. The first sentence is about a forest, the second sentence describes a deer, and the third sentence seems to be about a waterfall, but I still don't understand it.]
[Is it pointing to the waterfall in the woods? But what is a deer?]
[This should be taken to Zhu Yan for analysis.]
At this moment, Zhu Yan and Chu Yuan found the key. They searched the original location of the sculpture and found a box in a place covered by rocks.
Chu Yuan sighed, "Director Han is really good at hiding things. Who could possibly find this?"
They first walked around the note, looking everywhere but couldn't find it. The weather was hot, so they ran over here tired and sweating before they finally found it.
Zhu Yan took the key handed to him by Chu Yuan and opened the box.
There was a photo in the box, a black and white picture drawn with pencil, of a sika deer lying beside a waterfall.
Zhu Yan handed the photo to Chu Yuan, "I suspect the real location points to here."
"But can we find the real location so quickly?" Chu Yuan hesitated.
"Idiot," Zhu Yan said, half scolding her, explaining the situation to her, "It's because you found the right path and the squirrel that we were able to move so quickly. Otherwise, if we had followed a normal path, we might have only just discovered the compass's location."
This was also the speed estimated by the director team, but they did not expect that this would be broken by Chu Yuan's intuitive ability as a small animal.
By the time they found this image, the other groups were only halfway through.
Chu Yuan's eyes lit up and he raised his hands excitedly, "Then I'm really awesome."
[The baby is so awesome, so cute.]
It's 3:30 p.m. Beijing time, and there are still three hours until sunset. They've already found a place.
[Now that I think about it, Chu Yuan is really amazing. Even if someone has a lot of luck, it's impossible for someone to always be so lucky.]
However, perhaps because Chu Yuan is not a normal human being, she has countless luck.
For example, now, she and Zhu Yan don’t know where the waterfall is, but if they follow this road and circle the location, they will probably be able to find it.
When they thought there were no clues on the road, she spotted a piece of rag on a big rock.
A string of phone numbers was written on the rag in marker.
It was only then that Chu Yuan remembered that they had a mobile phone at the beginning.
So who's calling this?
——
Here, Han Xiaoyan and Su Yilan had just crossed the single-plank bridge in fear and trepidation, and soon arrived at the next mission point.
The next task is to swing high on the swing and last for two minutes.
Han Xiaoyan once again admired the ability of the program crew to find a flat area on the mountainside to build a large swing.
Just as he was preparing himself mentally, the phone rang.
He looked at the unfamiliar number, wondering if the director team had come up with some method to torture him again.
I picked up the phone and a female voice came from the other end, "Hello."
The soft voice was very recognizable. Han Xiaoyan recognized it immediately and shouted, "Chu Yuan!"
As if he had found a relative, he began to complain before the person on the other end of the phone could say anything, "Chu Yuan, big brother, you have no idea how sad I've been along this journey. I feel like a reed drifting in the wind, helpless. I just crossed some broken wooden bridge. Can you believe someone could build a bridge on the grass and then make a broken swing on it? I'm not afraid of heights, but now I'm afraid of them. I..."
"Well," Han Xiaoyan said before he could finish. Chu Yuan interrupted him and said, "Let me just say that reeds are quite tough."
Han Xiaoyan is the type of person who nods whatever Chu Yuan says, but halfway through he suddenly realizes something is wrong. Why did Lu Wei Jianren interrupt him? It means that he is not tough.
"Brother." He tried to explain himself, but someone else answered the other end of the phone.
"Han Xiaoyan." Zhu Yan's low voice came over, and for a moment Han Xiaoyan felt like he was laughing and playing with friends in class, and was found by the dean of studies.
He responded unconsciously, "Here."
Zhu Yan didn't hesitate and asked, "What tasks did you just say you completed?"
"Single-plank bridge, next is a swing, I just want to cross it."
Zhu Yan calmly instructed, "Okay, now sit on the swing. Open your eyes and observe your surroundings carefully. Describe them to me. Remember to also observe if there is any water flowing nearby."
This is what Zhu Yan thought when he saw the phone number. No matter who the other party was, he wanted to ask what mission they had undertaken.
Zhu Yan thought about what the director team said at the beginning, that it would not only be an individual battle, but also a team battle, so he wondered whether the final location would have to be known in combination with the locations of other groups.
The person on the other end of the phone was Han Xiaoyan, which meant that it was helping Zhu Yan to be one step faster. Han Xiaoyan was one of the easiest people to deceive.
Looking at the mountains with open eyes was a huge test for Han Xiaoyan.
He swallowed and had a mental struggle.
What should I do? I have to follow Brother Zhu Yan’s instructions, but I don’t dare.
At this time, he heard the soft voice on the other end of the phone again, a small voice, as if afraid that he would hear it, "Han Xiaoyan doesn't dare?"
[The best of the Thirty-Six Stratagems is the Beauty Trap.]
[Haha ...
Once you accept this setting...
【Chu Yuan, please let me ruarua. 】
[Just wait, Han Xiaoyan will definitely agree.]
In an instant, Han Xiaoyan's manly dignity came back.
"Okay, Brother Zhu Yan, wait for my good news." Han Xiaoyan was filled with passion and was determined to prove himself.
When she turned around, she saw Su Yilan looking at her with a sad look. Su Yilan put on her safety helmet and pretended not to see it.
Anyway, it was he who agreed, not her. She was not a man and she was afraid of death.
It’s over. Han Xiaoyan still wanted to find someone to give him courage, but now it seems that’s no use.
As if going to die, Han Xiaoyan sat on the swing, and the phone that had not been hung up was placed on the table.
Zhu Yan and Chu Yuan could hear Han Xiaoyan's shouting from not far away. They were probably scared but still trying to be brave.
Chu Yuan laughed openly. She had just said those words on purpose for Han Xiaoyan to hear.
Zhu Yan witnessed everything and thought to himself, what a little liar.
"Stop laughing," he said. "You look like a little mouse that has eaten honey."
Chu Yuan rolled his eyes at him.
You bastard, your words are unpleasant to the ears. I'll teach you a lesson later.
