Chapter 169 Linked Together (9) - Moving Laser

Although she felt righteous and awe-inspiring, when Ning Shu was actually lying on the chains, the shaking of the chains made it impossible for her to crawl forward.

It could only cling tightly to the chains, using both its hands and feet, looking like a bear hugging a tree.

When the chain on his wrist tightened again, Si Zhong glanced back at Ning Shu, a glance that almost made him laugh.

He didn't understand how she could do that... He wanted to say something, but all he could do was smile.

Seeing Ning Shu's "bear-like" appearance, Si Zhong could only walk back, stand in front of her, and grab the back of her neck by the collar: "Let go, I'll take you there."

Ning Shu dared not let go; she felt that she would fall if she let go, especially since the chains were shaking even more violently because of Si Zhong's movement.

She shook her head frantically: "You'll fall."

Si Zhong was speechless, his tone tinged with impatience: "It won't fall, let go!"

With that tone, Ning Shu knew he was in a bad mood even without looking up at his face. Not daring to disobey him any longer, she let go of his hand.

Si Zhong looked at Ning Shu's legs, which were still tightly clamped between the chains, and laughed in anger: "Let your feet go too."

After a while, Ning Shu silently released her legs. The moment she did, he picked her up and turned to walk away.

My goodness, the chains are swaying so much that she feels Si Zhong might lose his balance. She's so scared that she can only close her eyes, not look at anything, and not say anything.

She only opened her eyes after she felt Si Zhong leap up and land steadily, and then she felt herself sit down on the ground with a thud.

It turned out that when Si Zhong landed on the ground, he threw her down, almost hitting her buttocks raw.

"Ouch!" Ning Shu almost burst into tears from the pain.

At this moment, in front of them is a glass walkway, about 3 meters wide and about 50 meters long.

They can see what's below as they walk on it, including the places they've walked through before, and what's happening on the other pillars.

It was only then that Ning Shu realized that not all the same positions on every pillar were the same.

For example, the pillar to her left is the same as the trap they encountered at their current location, but the ones to her right, in front of her, and behind her are different.

In that case, the difficulty might vary depending on the choice of different pillars.

Of course, this is just her guess; perhaps they are all the same level of difficulty, just placed in different locations.

Perhaps because she had been lying on the boardwalk observing for too long, Si Zhong looked at her with displeasure: "How much longer are you going to keep looking?"

How much time is this going to waste? I thought she was too scared from what just happened and needed time to calm down, but it turns out she was just slacking off?

Ning Shu then realized that he had been waiting for her: "We can go now."

When the two reached the end of the glass walkway, they both fell silent.

What are these things? Who designed them? The trap in front of us is a "balance beam" plus a laser obstacle.

The "balance beam" is actually a square pillar suspended above, similar in concept to the previous wooden beam.

Ning Shu named it "Balance Beam" because the width of the place where you put your feet is the width of your two feet together.

It's difficult to walk directly across such a width, but it has set up a laser obstacle at regular intervals, a total of 4.

To avoid the laser obstacle, they would have to jump and land on the pillar, which is just like the balance beam exercise.

The only good news is that the laser obstacles don't move; otherwise, the difficulty would be extraordinary.

Ning Shu looked at the location of the laser, which was about 50 centimeters away from the pillar. She could climb over it.

She then looked at Si Zhong's long legs; he could step over them, so it didn't seem too difficult.

This time, she felt she could go first, and just as she was about to lift her leg to step onto the pillar, Si Zhong called her back.

"Wait a minute." He had a feeling that this trap wasn't so simple, so he took out a pebble from his spatial storage and threw it near the laser.

Ning Shu was shocked. His spatial storage actually contained pebbles? This... is hard to judge.

When the pebble approached the laser, the laser actually moved up and down, with the lowest movement being a few centimeters above the pillar and the highest being more than a meter above the pillar.

This is... too much! If she hadn't known anything and had just crawled over there, wouldn't that have played right into their hands? How insidious!

This means we have to skip it. Si Zhong should be fine, but what about her? Her balance is terrible.

Si Zhong continued throwing stones at the lasers behind him to see if the up-and-down lasers moved at the same amplitude. After confirming this, he made a plan in his mind.

Ning Shu did come up with a solution, but he dared not try it lightly, in case it failed. He decided to try Si Zhong's method first.

Si Zhong turned to her and said, "We can jump over it when it's almost at its lowest point. You should be able to do that too. Just be careful to step on the pillar when you land."

The last sentence is utter nonsense. Everyone knows you have to step on the pillar. What you're afraid of is just the possibility of something going wrong.

Ning Shu looked at him as if he were mentally challenged.

Si Zhong knew it was nonsense, but what he meant was: he wouldn't care if she fell, but he absolutely couldn't let her get involved.

Si Zhong took the lead, standing in front of the laser, which was already moving up and down.

"I'll go first, you wait for the next round."

"good."

Since they couldn't go together, they had to take turns.

Seizing the opportunity, Si Zhong nimbly jumped over and then went to Ning Shu.

Ning Shu looked at his steady posture with great envy. She would definitely train in this aspect in the training camp in the future, because she had suffered a great loss this time.

I was a little nervous the first time, and I didn't jump even after the laser went up and down three times.

Si Zhong stared at her expressionlessly: "What? You don't want to leave?"

Ning Shu: "I...I'm nervous."

Si Zhong: "Jump quickly."

Ning Shu: "Don't rush me, I'll be right there, next round."

Si Zhong shut up and waited for her, but her eyes were unfriendly, as if she would do something if she didn't jump.

As Ning Shu waited for the laser to reach its lowest point, she jumped up. Although her feet landed on the pillar as she fell, her body couldn't help but sway from side to side.

Si Zhong was very satisfied with her performance. Seeing that she was swaying, he grabbed her shoulders and helped her steady herself.

Ning Shu felt that Si Zhong's claws were like the Nine Yin White Bone Claw; the places where she was grabbed were in excruciating pain, yet she still had to thank him: "Thank you."

His expression was so distorted that it made people shake their heads. He released her shoulder and continued forward.

Having learned from her first experience, Ning Shu was much braver when she jumped again, though she still needed Si Zhong's help to stabilize her body.

The two successfully traversed this section of the road, but when they saw the next trap, they fell silent once again.

This isn't over yet, is it? Here comes an upgraded version?
