key
Zhu Yan and Chu Yuan had just begun to figure things out, but at the same time, Tong Yinqi Yu, who was in the first group to set out, fell into confusion.
They were the first group to get the map and knew they had another mission, but they stopped halfway.
They didn't know how far the route drawn on the map was, but as they walked along it, they found themselves standing in the grass in the middle, with trees on both sides, and had no idea where they should go.
In short, they seemed lost.
Tong Yin was holding the map, and Qi Yu followed Tong Yin. Tong Yin was his senior, and now that she didn't leave, Qi Yu asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"
Tong Yin pointed at the map and said, "Looking around here, we should be here by now, but why does it feel like this is a road that has no end? Did we miss something along the way?"
They didn't encounter any mission points along the way, let alone people, there wasn't even a single card.
Both of them were standing in the spotlight on the stage, and it was impossible to tell the way apart.
Qi Yu took the map.
The maps given to each group by the director team were very simple, simply depicting the surrounding environment, a route, and the location of the treasure.
But because they only played to the second level, they didn’t even know what levels were coming next, let alone guess what secrets they could uncover.
Tong Yin looked at the surrounding environment again, and there were nothing but trees.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she asked, "Do you remember when we came here, was there anything special that wasn't just trees?"
Qi Yu was silent for a while, and thought of a place. "I remember we took a break halfway. I remember I paid special attention there. There seemed to be a small bridge, but there was no water there. I'm still wondering what's going on."
"Let's go." Tong Yin immediately took Qi Yu back, "Let's go back there and take a look."
[Looking at the map, I'm already halfway there. If I go back now, I might not be able to find the treasure in time.]
[Zhu Yan has discovered the secret, when will they be able to discover it?]
[It feels like this road is still a long way even if you reach the treasure.]
But I still envy Tong Yin's courage, for turning back as soon as she said she would.
Tong Yin was walking back, and Han Xiaoyan and Su Yilan were frightened on the way.
Han Xiaoyan didn't understand why every problem became a threat to him.
Who can tell him how there is a single-plank bridge and plank road suddenly on flat ground when it is clearly on a mountain?!
The staff told them that since they had successfully passed the previous level, even though they failed this level, they could still get a reward.
The reward is to choose one of two maps.
One is a route that must be taken, and the staff clearly told them that some parts of this route may need to be revealed before they can move forward and successfully obtain clues.
But the other one only requires you to pass every mission point on the road to get the clue.
The staff also specifically reminded us that this map does not require any brainpower.
What else to think about? Han Xiaoyan immediately decided to choose this picture. He asked Su Yilan beside him about her opinion, but he didn't expect that Su Yilan had the same idea as him.
Su Yilan thought, she was eliminated from this level because of her poor brain power, and she would be a fool to choose another question related to brain power.
However, when they really reached the point where they could pass the mission, they were both dumbfounded.
[Holy shit, I'm dying of laughter, hahahahahahahahahahaha, where the hell did they get this single-plank bridge? It can actually be suspended, and it's so realistic.]
[Although Su Yilan's group proved to be not very good at solving puzzles, your group is even dumber, hahahaha.]
【Han Xiaoyan: I really will thank you.】
[I feel like my brother is about to cry. Why is there such a task?]
[I don't blame my brother for being too weak, I blame the mission for being too powerful.]
Han Xiaoyan really felt like crying but had no tears. A wooden board thicker than a tree was hung up by two ropes, and he didn't even know how it was hung.
There were staff members standing by, explaining the rules to them, "You two just need to cross this bridge."
It sounds simple, but the wooden bridges are wobbly one after another. The wind is strong on the mountainside, and the wooden boards are swaying in the wind.
Even if you know that there is flat ground below and there is no danger to your life, your butt will definitely be swollen if you fall down.
Han Xiaoyan regretted choosing this path a little bit. Looking at Su Yilan next to him who also looked a little scared, Han Xiaoyan's rare sense of justice exploded.
A real man would rather die on a wooden bridge.
However, when he stood trembling on the wooden bridge, he just wanted to take back what he said: Men are like stinky tofu, each one stinkier than the other.
He is now standing on top in pain, and it is difficult for him to come down.
But Su Yilan was still standing on the ground cheering him on, "Brother Han, come on."
Han Xiaoyan wanted to say, "Who is your brother? I don't think I'm even older than you." But a gust of wind blew over, blocking his open mouth and filling him with wind.
God, please punish me.
[I'm dying of laughter. I really can't help it. I love watching Han Xiaoyan so much. It's making me laugh to death.]
[Other guest side quests are puzzle-solving adventures, while Han Xiaoyan's is about testing one's courage.]
[This is fine, damn, it's hard to build mechanisms in the mountains, but this is a pretty primitive game that can still be played hahaha.]
[Don't mention it, just give my brother three sticks and he can play with it all day.]
In order to prevent Su Yilan from noticing that his legs were weak, he even pretended to be fine and walked forward. In fact, his face turned pale as his back turned to Su Yilan.
You have to hold back. Women love to gossip with each other. What if Su Yilan tells Chu Yuan later that he was scared to the point of peeing his pants on the wooden bridge? He will lose his reputation and face.
But, big brother, Chu Yuan, where are you?!
———
Chu Yuan scratched her ear and lost her focus for a moment, then she heard Zhu Yan calling her, "What's wrong?"
Chu Yuan shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just thought I heard someone calling me."
"There's no one in this wilderness." Zhu Yan asked her to squat down, "Come and look here."
They had just used a compass to head northeast, and after walking for a while, they found a piece of paper clamped to a wooden board on the grass with a few lines of words written on it.
It says: Focus on supporting the Northwest, turning the tide in sixty years and seventy-two hours.
"What do you mean? Let us go to the northwest?" Chu Yuan asked.
Zhu Yan shook his head. "If we were asked to go to the northwest, we wouldn't have the time for the last two days."
"Focus on supporting the Northwest." Chu Yuan repeated it twice, "Northwest."
Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she gently patted Zhu Yan's hand. "Could it be a riddle? Two dots from the northwest, is that the first one correct?"
Chu Yuan suddenly remembered that she had played this kind of game with her mount, which was well versed in human nature, when she was bored, but it was not really a guessing game.
At that time, she used the new brain teasers she had learned to tease her mount, but the mount could never guess the answers.
Later, it learned its lesson and would use these to tease Chu Yuan, especially with riddles, which always left Chu Yuan unable to answer.
From then on, Chu Yuan developed a habit of breaking down other people's words and analyzing them every time he spoke to others.
The reason why I happened to get the riddle right this time was also due to this habit.
Chu Yuan didn't understand what this sentence meant, but after reading it several times, she suddenly found that there seemed to be something that could be changed.
Zhu Yan was awakened by this. He originally thought that this was a question to solve a mystery and get the answer, but he didn't expect that he had complicated the problem and turned it into a word puzzle.
Tou, You, Jing, the answers to these three riddles formed in Zhu Yan's mind almost instantly.
"Yes." He affirmed to Chu Yuan, "You are right, the answer is out."
He smiled at her, his eyes filled with admiration that she was unaware of.
[So amazing, so fast.]
[It turned out to be a riddle. I thought it was something important that needed to be combined.]
[I feel that Chu Yuan's thoughts are always simple and correct.]
[Some people just don't like to put in any effort. They're often luckier and more likely to find the right answer. Chu Yuan might be one of them.]
[I was immediately impressed by their brainpower.]
After getting the answer, Chu Yuan quickly looked around at things related to these three words.
"There." Zhu Yan stood up and pointed to a place in front of her from behind her. "Is there a sculpture there?"
Just a few dozen meters away from them, there was a small sculpture hidden behind a tree.
It seems like it is hidden, but it also seems like it is not hidden, leaving only half a shadow.
Chu Yuan ran over, brought it back, and handed it to Zhu Yan, "Do you want to smash its head?"
For some reason, even though Zhu Yan knew Chu Yuan was talking about the sculpture's head, he felt a chill run down his spine.
"Let me see."
As soon as he took it, he found that it was unexpectedly solid and heavy enough in the hands of an adult male like him.
But Chu Yuan had just taken it easily and even ran dozens of meters, and now he was looking at him with bright eyes and didn't feel anything at all.
He asked, "Don't you think this thing is heavy?"
Chu Yuan shook his head. "Do you think it's heavy? Then let me hold it."
As she spoke, she stretched out her two claws, and Zhu Yan calmly hit her palm lightly.
Although it can be called beating, it is not correct. It is more like caressing.
"It won't sink."
Zhu Yan felt that it was unnecessary for him to ask this question, as she was clearly able to lift a several-pound axe and chop wood yesterday.
When asked, he became the one who was embarrassed. If he said he was heavy, it meant that the man was physically weak.
"Okay." Chu Yuan didn't feel anything at all. He withdrew his hands and watched him fiddling with the sculpture.
She withdrew her hands and curled them up tightly behind her back, scratching the palm of her right hand with her left hand, trying to relieve the itch she had just felt.
Damn it, what’s going on? Why do I feel itchy after Zhu Yan touched me just now?
Zhu Yan didn't notice her abnormality, and shook it twice more, feeling something was wrong.
This sculpture is obviously very heavy, but its head is very light, as if it is hollow.
Head, by, crystal.
He once again linked these three words with the sculpture and said, "Chu Yuan, smash the head of this sculpture."
After receiving the instruction, Chu Yuan took it from his hand, and following the direction of taking it, she deliberately let her little finger touch the palm of Zhu Yan's hand.
Zhu Yan's hand trembled and he almost dropped the second half of the sculpture.
His eyes darkened as he looked at Chu Yuan, who seemed to be incomprehensibly powerful.
Chu Yuan didn't care whether he looked at it or not, and continued to stare at him as usual.
Since he just did that, let him experience this feeling.
Chu Yuan exerted force with his hand, and the sculpture fell to the ground in pieces, even the lower body was shattered into pieces.
Zhu Yan: ...How much effort did it take?
Chu Yuan squatted down and picked up the shiny key from the debris, shaking it at Zhu Yan, "Is this it?"
The answer to the three-word puzzle finally turned into a key.
"Yes." Zhu Yan said.
The two of them got the key easily, but where was the box that needed the key to open?
