Jin Qiu was puzzled, muttering to himself: “What am I missing?… No, these are all the game rules.”
“What about the frog?” Bai Youwei sneered at it. “The theme of the game is ‘Frog’s Golden Ball’, where is the ‘frog!?”
As soon as she finished speaking, a look of panic appeared on everyone else’s faces. They turned their heads to look around, fearing that countless frogs could suddenly leap out from the dark corners.
After a while, it let out a cunning laugh: “The frog, eh… You’ll find out soon.”
With that, it floated to the highest point of the cave, just beneath the circular opening, with the sunlight making the sphere even more dazzling.
“The game is about to start, players have one minute to prepare, now the countdown begins, 59, 58, 57…”
Everyone was panicked!
Almost instantly, someone cried in alarm, “President Zhang! What should we do now?!”
People instinctively sought help from their leader, but at this moment, Zhang Hua wasn’t the gentle, polite, and considerate man they knew. He coldly turned his back on them and stood motionless between two snails, paying no attention to anyone else.
Hui Ge mocked, “You see that? Your ‘President Zhang’ can’t even save himself. Who’s going to care if you live or die? He’s your ‘President Zhang’, not your dad! What a bunch of morons!”
Bai Youwei pondered for a moment and then motioned for Tan Xiao to come over.
Tan Xiao was daze but quickly headed towards her when he saw Bai Youwei beckoning him.
Bai Youwei said, “Teacher Chang is in poor health, you help him stand over there. The golden ball is bounced off the stone wall and the snails. Places without snails are relatively safer.”
Without saying another word, Tan Xiao immediately went over to support Chang Weicai.
The others heard and hurriedly searched for suitable places.
That’s when they realized that the spot where President Zhang was standing was exactly the “relatively safe position” Bai Youwei had mentioned. In other words, Zhang Hua knew how to dodge the golden ball, but had no intention of telling them!
Everyone’s faces turned bitter and resentful.
“How can someone be so selfish? What good does our death do him!” a middle-aged woman grumbled.
No one indignantly questioned or condemned him because the countdown was nearing its end.
Shen MO placed Bai Youwei in a corner of the cave. With the stone wall behind her, a large snail on her right, and the open mud on her left and in front of her.
Whether it was hiding or running, this was an excellent location.
But Shen MO didn’t plan on staying here because it was too far off to the side and didn’t offer a good view of the golden ball’s trajectory. He was the type who liked to take the initiative.
He took off his military boots, rolled up his pants, and stood barefoot in the mud. His black eyes were focused on the far-off ball, waiting for it to prepare to serve. Then, he would make his move.
Jin Qiu moved slightly.
It stopped, wobbling in the air before it floated to a spot and declared in its teasing childlike voice that echoed throughout the cave— “Game, start.”
The shock happened again!
Collisions! Ricochets! Echoes! The entire cave was trembling!
Mud splashed all over in front of Bai Youwei’s eyes, making it impossible for her to see where the others were. All she could hear were screams and cries, the noise deafening!
“Shen MO!” She screamed at the top of her lungs.
Not being able to see him made her anxious.
Call her melodramatic or selfish, but the fact was, she couldn’t be without Shen MO right now! Shen MO was her legs! He was her life!
A mud-covered figure crawled and rolled over. He paused when he saw Bai Youwei before lunging at her, mumbling in his mouth, “Move! This spot is mine!”
Bai Youwei’s eyes widened.
The figure blended with the golden light suddenly appeared behind him, and in an instant, both the figure and the ball smashed into the stone wall!
The golden ball disappeared, but the person remained…
Broken and destroyed.
He slid into the mud, merging into it..
