On the day of the deadline, all the mud men in the Kun Pavilion felt that the atmosphere was a little unusual.
The sky was gloomy and there was no sunlight. The white mist was like a thick white curtain that enveloped the Kun Pavilion and did not disperse for a long time.
Wei Zi arrived at the control center early in the morning. One after another, all the mud men in Kun Pavilion rushed to the control center to report, except for Zhang Zi.
On the last day of the deadline, Zhang Zi mysteriously disappeared!
Wei Zi was the first to report the news of Zhang Zi's disappearance. Everyone knew that Zhang Zi was his Ling Jiao brother.
When Wei Zi heard this, he felt that it was a matter of great importance and immediately ordered everyone to split up to look for Zhang Zi.
However, the white fog was vast and the visibility was very poor. It was quite troublesome to find a person. Everyone searched every corner of the Kun Pavilion, but they still couldn't find Zhang Zi.
On the surface, Wei Zi was more anxious and worried than anyone else. He searched non-stop and shouted Zhang Zi's name.
In fact, he knew better than anyone else that Zhang Zi must have listened to him. With that Miao Pearl, he naively entered the terrifying Rotten Valley Road alone in a beautiful dream and would never come back!
This was exactly what he had expected and what he hoped to see.
However, he was indeed looking for someone in Kun Pavilion. It was not Zhang Zi, but his " girlfriend ", Lazi!
He deliberately went to the corridor where she often appeared and waited for a long time, but he still did not see her. She sat on the railing of the corridor, feeling a little depressed. From time to time, she looked up and looked around.
His hand touched the stone pillar made of bluestone. It was wet and covered with a layer of fine water droplets.
His heart sank as he thought to himself, Oh no, there might be a storm today.
He couldn't wait for Lazi here. He had to return to the control center and let the blunt spear check the number of pearls in his box one last time.
As he turned around, he caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye.
He quickly looked over, and the figure quickly disappeared into the hazy fog.
Could it be that he was hallucinating? Or was he seeing things? Recently, he felt that there was a fleeting figure following him in the dark.
Who was this person? Why did they follow him in secret? If she wanted to get her hands on him, she could have done it at night when he was asleep. She didn't have to follow him during the day, right?
Moreover, most of the Mudmen here respected him. In broad daylight, no one would dare to act rashly against him!
He thought of two people. One was his " girlfriend ", Lazi, and the other was You Zi!
There was once when You Zi hid in the grass in his residence and was discovered by him. At that time, this cunning man tried his best to quibble. He didn't believe this cunning man's nonsense.
If it was spicy, that would be more than welcome. At this moment, the person he wanted to see the most was her. However, she did not know where she was going!
When he couldn't see her, his imagination ran wild. Would she abandon him and leave Kun Ting? However, she had once said that she needed his help to cross the Moon Pavilion's Yin-Yang Love Chain Bridge.
At this juncture, what kind of tricks was this Zheng girl playing?
Wei Zi returned to the control center dejectedly.
Many Mudmen were already waiting in the control center. Wei Zizheng was doing a final check on the number of pearls in their boxes. From time to time, he heard some people who had no hope of passing the test sigh and complain,
"Anyway, we won't be able to pass the test even if we don't come here!”
"Yeah, it's better to sleep at home!”
"Since you can't pass the test, why don't you eat, drink, and have fun here?”
"Sigh! Drunk or not, they were ants on a hot pan anyway!”
"More than that? It was like a horse on a boat with nowhere to go!”
Wei Zi had been busy checking and registering. In the end, only Zhang Zi's box was left unaccounted for. He raised his head and asked everyone present,"
"Have you found Zhang Zi?"
"No! Perhaps this guy went to pick up girls and was so happy that he didn't want to come back!”Someone said with a laugh.
"What a pity! This guy had the most pearls, but he disappeared on the last day!”Someone muttered regretfully.
Wei Zi picked up Zhang Zi's registration manual and looked at the numbers on it. For a moment, he felt melancholic.
He had thought that he would be able to pass as well if the 80 Mudmen had successfully passed. However, on this crucial day, Zhang Zi was nowhere to be seen. Without him, Wei Zi's hopes of passing the test were completely dashed.
Everything seemed to be set in stone.
Wei Zi looked on coldly from the side and was smug. He didn't forget to mock Wei Zi,
"If he doesn't come back, someone will definitely not be able to pass! Sigh! On the last day, no matter how busy he was, it was just a vegetable basket carrying water. It was a waste of effort! He could only watch helplessly as his subordinates climbed up. Aiyaya, think about it, how painful it was to stay here alone and die!”
Huizi lowered her head and wiped her tears sadly. She sobbed sadly,
"How could this be? On the last day, Zhang Zi disappeared!”
"Zhang Zi is missing. Without the help of one person, our boss will have no chance!”
"Unfortunately, our boss can't go with us!”Someone sighed.
You Zi had a gloating look on his face as he leaned over and said hypocritically,
"Sigh! He really didn't expect it! In the end, it snowed heavily on a sunny day. It was clear that our boss was really in trouble! How unlucky! I can't pass, I'm just short of one…"
At this moment, Spicy Chili suddenly appeared in the corridor of the control center. Like a whirlwind, he appeared in front of everyone and sneered,
"It's rare that you guys still have the leisure to talk here. If you don't hurry to the passage, none of you can pass!”
"What exactly happened?" Wei Zi's nerves tensed up as he stared at her.
"It is said that usually on the last day of the deadline, the cocoon tower will shake!”
"Tower quake? Is it an earthquake?"
"It's not an earthquake! The tower tremors were strange tremors that occurred within the pupa tower! Moreover, the strangest thing was that whenever the deadline came, there would be a tremor!”
"Is the tower quake scary?" Someone asked worriedly.
"I heard that it's getting more and more terrifying each time! The tremors became more and more intense. The last time the tower shook, it was said that a house collapsed and two mud men were crushed to death on the spot!”
"What? We have to leave this place! Tell me, where is the passageway?" When Wei Zi heard that, he was anxious and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"The entrance of the passageway is where you took the human ladder to the Kun Pavilion. The Dust Men in your hands will be waiting there today! That was also the only way up from the Chrysalis Tower!”
"In that case, let's move quickly!”Wei Zi urged," Remember to bring your luggage!”
All of a sudden, all the Mudmen carried their boxes and rushed out of the control center.
Wei Zi tied all the registration manuals together with a rope, slung them over her shoulder, and followed everyone out of the control center.
Before they could walk far, they felt the ground beneath their feet begin to shake.
"Everyone, stay away from the buildings, avoid the trees, and go to an open area!”Wei Zi shouted.
Everyone scattered, escaping the houses and corridors and running towards the wilderness.
The inexplicable tremors became more and more violent. A stone pillar in the corridor broke in half, and a corner of the corridor collapsed.
Fortunately, the Mudmen had all escaped to a small path in the wilderness. Other than overgrown weeds, there were only low shrubs around them. There were only a few big trees on both sides of the road.
Therefore, even though the ground beneath their feet was constantly shaking, causing many people to lose their balance and fall, and many people's shoes were stepped on while running in a panic, no one was injured by the collapsed buildings or trees.
Everyone followed closely behind Spicy Chili and ran towards the entrance of the passage.
After a violent tremor, it became an aftershock. Occasionally, there would be a tremor, but it was not intense. He was like a furious demon who had finally calmed down after exhausting all his strength.
Only then did everyone's anxious hearts calm down. They took a slight breath and slowed down their nervous footsteps.
The entrance of the passage was right in front of them. However, to their surprise, the road ahead of them split open in a ravine that was more than ten meters wide, cruelly blocking their way.
"What should we do? We can't get through!" Someone shouted anxiously.
"Such a wide ditch. Without a bridge, we definitely can't cross it!”
"Spicy, do you have any ideas?”Seeing this situation, Wei Zi immediately thought of Lazi. She was knowledgeable and might have a way. He squeezed to her side and asked her for a solution.
At this moment, Wei Zi and the mud people present knew that the name of this Zheng girl beside him was Lazi. She no longer covered her face. The long scar on the left side of her face was still particularly eye-catching, but no one cared about her ugly face anymore.
She was like an angel now. Everyone had pinned their hopes on her.
"Before sunset, you have to cross this ravine and rush to the passageway! Otherwise, after sunset, the Dust Men waiting at the entrance of the passage would leave! After today, the pearls in your hands will also turn into water!”
When You Zi heard what she said, she asked loudly in shock,
"What? If the pearl turns into water, wouldn't all our previous efforts be wasted? Don't even think about passing the test and being trapped here forever?”
"That's right!" Spicy Chili answered straightforwardly.
Wei Zi frowned and looked around, trying to find another way.
On one side of the road was a steep cliff. The steep rocks were difficult to climb. The other side was close to the cliff and was even more impassable. The only way was to build a bridge over the cracked ravine.
"We can only build a bridge and cross this ravine before sunset!”
"But what should we use to bridge the bridge?”Someone asked.
"You can use this big tree to build a single-plank bridge!”Lazi pointed at a place not far away from the ravine. There was a hundred-year-old tree there. It did not have any branches or vines, but it was tall and sturdy. It was as thick as two people hugging it. It was more than ten meters tall, and it was a ready-made material for making a single-log bridge.
Everyone's eyes turned to the big tree.
They admitted that this old tree was indeed a rare and excellent material for making a bridge. However, the trunk of the tree was so thick, how could they cut it down? In addition, time was tight. Even if they had an iron saw in their hands, it was difficult to guarantee that they could cut it down before sunset. Moreover, none of them had an iron saw with them.
"How? There are no iron saws or axes!" Someone asked worriedly.
This cruel reality was placed in front of everyone.
