There was a saying that rain would come if the fog did not disperse.
This morning, when Wei Zi woke up, he saw the fog outside the window. This was the first time he had seen such a thick fog since he entered the Kun Pavilion. An ominous feeling flashed across his heart.
At dusk, the fog lingered around. Not only did it not disperse, but it became even denser. It was a vast expanse of white, and the sky became even darker.
if the thick fog does not disperse, it will become a flood. He knew that if the thick fog did not disperse for a long time, there would be a rainstorm, or even a flood!
Indeed, it was raining now. Dripping raindrops fell on the ground, causing the sand to rustle.
Wei Zi remembered that his grandmother had said that water was the Mudmen's friend and enemy. Water could enhance their strength, but torrential rain and floods could destroy their lives!
Wei Zi worriedly reminded the Mudmen present,"
"Everyone, take out your raincoat bags. It was very likely that this was a rainstorm that would last for a long time. Everyone had to take care of each other on the road!”
"Sigh, today is the end! One bad luck after another!" Someone was complaining.
"I hope this rain is just a shower and will stop soon. It won't affect our journey!”There were also people praying.
All the Mudmen put on their raincoats at once.
The only exception was Lazi, who was not afraid of the storm.
Wei Zi looked at his girlfriend beside him. She didn't need rain gear to cover her as she walked freely in the rain. From this, it was concluded that she was not a mud man, but a stone man! He asked her curiously,
"You're not afraid of the storm, you must be a stone man?”
She didn't answer. The corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a specious smile. He was unwilling to give up and continued to ask,
"I have always wondered how you would climb without the help of the Ashen people.”
She glanced at him and replied casually,
"Monkeys climb poles and dogs drill circles, weasels drill holes in waterways-each has their own ways!”She still did not answer him directly.
Since she deliberately avoided this topic, if she continued to ask, it would only be boring! He had to change the topic.
"With such heavy rain, will the Dust Men at the entrance of the passage still wait for us there?”
She raised her head and looked at the sky with a worried expression. She sighed and said,
"Of course not! With such heavy rain, the Dust Men at the entrance of the passageway would definitely disperse!”
"Are you saying that once it rains, even the Dust Men under our control can't help us? If we rush to the entrance of the passage, we won't be able to climb it?”Wei Zi stopped and asked in surprise.
"Yes, I am! Under special circumstances, the rules of passing the test would not work! Even if you have a thousand pearls in your hands, you won't be able to pass the test smoothly in such bad weather!”
"F * ck! Wasn't this like drawing water with a bamboo basket for nothing?”Wei Zi asked loudly, his excited voice raised by an octave." If that's the case, then why are we still going to the passageway?!”
Everyone stopped in their tracks when they heard him shout. Since the Dust Men at the entrance of the passage had already dispersed, what was the point of rushing there?
Although Wei Zi was the leader, this was the first time he had encountered such a thorny matter. He didn't know what to do.
Everyone looked at him, and he looked at Lazi.
Seeing that everyone was not moving, Lazi frowned slightly and said,
"Not necessarily! On the contrary, in this storm, regardless of whether they had Miaozhu or not, they all had a chance to pass!”
"How? There are no Dust Men to help us build the stairway.”
"Rabbits rely on their legs and wolves rely on their teeth. In this special situation, you can only rely on yourself!”
"Then tell me, what should we do now to save our lives?”
" There's a rainbow bridge in front of you, near the entrance. That was originally the passageway for the Stone Golems. Normally, the Mud Golems can't reach that bridge, but now, the opportunity has come. You can directly enter a higher level from there!“
"What do we do?"
" I'm sure you all know that the water rises with the tide. If the storm is big enough to turn into a flood, you can climb the rainbow bridge with the flood as long as you are strong enough!”
"But, I'm most afraid of heavy rain…Will it kill me?”Someone cried.
"Master Wei, I'm so scared! I'm so afraid of the flood!" Huizi stood beside Wei Zi and cried. She hugged the box and stood in the rain, trembling.
Wei Zi silently extended a hand to her and held her hand tightly.
It was obvious that a soul-stirring calamity was about to befall every mudman here.
Looking at the mud men in front of him, a trace of compassion and sympathy appeared in his heart. His tone was no longer cold and stiff as he said slowly,
"This storm is a demon to the weak Mudmen, but to the strong Mudmen, it is a friend!“
Hearing her say this, Wei Zi thought of the Wind Calamity in the center of the valley bottom town, the Dust Man who escaped in panic, and the extraordinary paper harrier woman.
He also thought of Zhang Zi. That big sweet potato would not be able to return. Even if he did not go to the Rotten Valley Road, he might still die in this storm.
Wei Zi did not think that he was a strong mud man. Rainstorm was definitely not his friend. Fortunately, he had a capable " girlfriend."
He couldn't help but feel glad that he had made the wise choice to choose Lazi as his girlfriend.
He believed that she would definitely help him pass the test and would not leave him in the lurch!
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the water on the road was rising higher and higher. The water was so fast that it was almost knee-high. Every mud man was like a birthday boy riding a dog-there was no road (deer) to go on.
Some people began to cry in fear. Someone was wailing loudly. Most people were at a loss and huddled together. Unexpectedly, the day of the deadline was the most terrifying day for them.
Wei Zi shouted at the crowd,"
"Everyone, hold the box in your arms! No matter what happens, you must protect the Miaozhu in the box. This is your hope to pass!”
Everyone obediently hugged the box in their hands.
Only Wei Zi grumbled unhappily,
"Screw it! At a time like this, he couldn't even protect his life. Why was he still protecting Miaozhu in the box? Acting noble!”
Spicy saw Wei Zi's contemptuous expression and immediately added loudly,
"Your boss is right! The box in your arms is the best lifeboat. Hold on to it tightly and you'll be able to float on the water. Only then will you be able to float to the Bifr?st!”
Her words seemed to be specifically for Wei Zi to hear. Although he didn't think much of it, he could only hug the box as if it was a life-saving straw in the face of the rising flood!
Wei Zi didn't have a box to carry, so he could only carry a large bundle of thin wooden registration manuals. To him, the registration manuals of these mud men were very important. He had to protect them well and hand them over to the higher-ups for inspection.
There was also the cloth bag on his body, which contained his most precious Miaozhu. He put the bag and the pearl into his undergarment. As long as he was alive, he had to protect this pearl.
" Whoosh…" A flash flood rushed over from the high cliff.
The powerful torrent rushed towards them and scattered them all at once.
Whether they were willing or not, they could only follow the current and be held hostage by the swift and fierce torrent. The passageway in front of them was the low-lying area of the Kun Pavilion.
Huizi carried the box and followed Wei Zi. As she was too frightened, she loosened her grip in her panic and the box floated out of her arms.
Without the support of the box, she fell straight down. Her hands danced wildly as she shouted,
" My suitcase…My suitcase…" She choked on a few mouthfuls of water.
Her box was about to be washed away by the flood.
Wei Zi was a step away from her. When he heard her shout, he turned around and quickly grabbed her suitcase. He kicked his feet and swam to her side, pushing the suitcase to her hand that was flailing around.
Akiko's hand grabbed the box again and hugged it in her arms. Her head and body were able to surface.
"Hold the box tightly, don't let go!”Wei Zi shouted at her.
She coughed a few times and turned her head to look around. Wei Zi, who had been beside her just now, had disappeared in the flood.
"Wei Zi! Wei Zi…" She called him repeatedly, but he didn't answer.
A rapid current wrapped around his body. He was struggling in the water, holding the stack of thin wooden manuals tightly in his hands, and drifted away with the rapid flood.
He could feel the trees on both sides retreating rapidly.
A stone arch bridge appeared in front of them. The water was about to overflow the bridge. There was a row of low railings on the bridge, and there were three huge culverts under the bridge.
Three or four Mudmen wailed in horror as they drifted past him, their hands flailing wildly, apparently unable to hold onto the box. In the blink of an eye, they were washed into the huge tunnel under the bridge.
Caw! Without the support of the box, once the torrent rushed into the tunnel, they would definitely die!
Although Wei Zi did not have the support of the box, he could only rely on the buoyancy of the stack of thin wooden manuals in his hand to try his best to get rid of the entanglement of the vortex. What was terrifying was that the whirlpool was carrying him and rushing straight towards the terrifying tunnel.
At this critical moment, the thin wooden manual in his hand happened to be stuck on a small tree branch by the roadside. He hugged the manual tightly and finally got rid of the deadly vortex.
Relying on the buoyancy of the thin wooden book in his arms, he swam toward the pier and under the arch bridge.
At this moment, he heard a voice above him shout,"
"Throw away the manual! Grab the pier and climb up, hurry up and climb up!”
He didn't think too much about it and obediently let go of the manual in his hand. He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he grabbed the edge of the pier with both hands and tried his best to climb up. Finally, his hands reached the railing on the bridge, and he struggled to climb over the low railing. His body landed heavily on the bridge.
Lying on the bridge, he breathed out a long breath. His life had finally turned over a dangerous page.
At this moment, he felt a piercing pain all over his body. When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was covered in wounds and his legs were still bleeding.
He finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
