Kuroko took a deep breath and took a few steps back, about to rush to the bridge, but I quickly stopped him.

"Let the girl pass first." I glared at Kuroko and said.

Kuroko was a little embarrassed and a little dissatisfied, but finally endured it, looked at me, and stepped aside without saying a word.

The bridge will collapse, so the person who passes first must be relatively safer than the person who comes behind; It is relatively safer to pass one by one than to go through it with two people.

I glanced at Zhao Zitong, stepped aside, and motioned for her to hurry up and cross the bridge.

Actually, I was ready for Zhao Zitong to hesitate to step forward, and even thought of what to say to provoke her.

After all, no matter how strong she pretends to be, she is still a girl after all, and there should be times when she is afraid and afraid.

However, to my surprise, Zhao Zitong didn't say a word, bit his lip and nodded at me, and after retreating a short distance, he adjusted his state and began to rush towards the bridge.

She wasn't fast, she didn't even seem a little clumsy, but she was serious.

Looking at her back running in the dark, I felt a sadness for no reason.

Perhaps, for so many years, she has been running alone in the dark world of reality, not daring to stop, not needing comfort and encouragement, or even recognition. Therefore, she is used to going her own way, used to pretending to be strong outside, and used to licking her wounds alone.

From the fairy tale world in Zhao Ye's endless love, to being alone in the bloody real world, it is really not easy for her to support the huge gambling debts owed by her unqualified father with her slender shoulders.

By the time I was inexplicably sad for her, she had already rushed onto the bridge.

I clenched my fists nervously, so nervous that I forgot to breathe, but I didn't forget to use a flashlight to light the way under Zhao Zitong's feet.

Because there was a large crater in the middle of the bridge, she had to jump over it with all her might.

Hearing only a "bang", the moment Zhao Zitong just jumped up, the place she had just stepped on collapsed, and the hole in the middle of the bridge almost doubled.

After landing, Zhao Zitong stumbled under her feet and almost fell, but she didn't stop, and leaned into a very awkward position before and continued to rush forward.

If she doesn't adjust soon, there's a good chance she'll flip over the railing and fall.

At this moment, a pair of large iron chopsticks silently stretched out to Zhao Zitong from the opposite side of the bridge, put them under her armpits, and lifted her up violently.

Zhao Zitong exclaimed, flew high, and was finally caught by Leng Yue before landing.

I raised my flashlight and looked at the other side, fine beads of sweat were already oozing from my forehead, and I was relieved when I saw that Zhao Zitong, who was frightened, was fine.

"Kuroko, it's your turn." I waved at Kuroko.

Kuroko was stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't expect me to let him go first, and his eyes changed when he looked at me.

He nodded at me, took two deep breaths, and quickly rushed onto the bridge, easily jumping over the big hole in the bridge, and reached the opposite shore unharmed.

But by this time, the big hole in the middle of the bridge had collapsed a large area.

I looked at the big hole from afar, at the bridge that was already starting to shake a little, and knew that I was going to face an extremely difficult challenge.

In the distance behind them, Mr. Cui's group was still being dragged in the spring garden, and there was still a long distance from our side.

I have peace of mind knowing that I have plenty of time, but I don't want to delay too long.

But can the bridge still be crossed?

I looked at the slightly swaying bridge, gritted my teeth, took a deep breath, and rushed out as fast as I could.

The moment my feet stepped on the bridge deck, I felt a distinct difference.

With each step, it was as if I was stepping on a giant piano key, and I could clearly feel a slight sink. When I lifted my foot, I didn't feel the bricks on the bridge bounce, but I heard the sound of breaking where I walked.

At this time, no matter what happened behind me, I could never look back, let alone have the slightest stagnation, and could only rush forward desperately.

Every step I took was very difficult, and I was very careful, but I couldn't be slow, every step was thrilling, and every second was exciting.

Under intense pressure and overcoming difficult obstacles, I finally reached the vicinity of the large crater in the middle of the bridge.

I shouted, ran wildly, sped up violently, and stepped down hard.

Instead of stepping on the ground, I jumped diagonally over the edge of the treadmill pit to make sure the bridge could withstand my step.

The moment my knees straightened, I jumped high.

The sound of the wind sounded in my ears, and I turned my face slightly in the air, and in the darkness I could faintly see that the bridge behind me had completely collapsed, leaving only some of the bridge pillars bare on the water.

After landing, I continued to run wildly with inertia, knowing that life and death are only between a line.

However, as I was about to reach the other side, the bridge beneath my feet trembled violently, and then shattered and collapsed.

My body suddenly lost control, and I fell to the side, slanting towards the cold, treacherous surface of the lake.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a flash of silver light, and two telescopic tubes catapulted.

This...... It's the big iron chopsticks of the cold moon!

In the flash of light, I quickly threw away the flashlight and stretched out my hands to grasp the iron chopsticks steadily.

However, the surface of the iron chopsticks was very slippery, and my hands were covered with sweat, so I couldn't hold it at all, and my body still fell.

Suddenly, I felt the other end of the big iron chopsticks violently increase the force, lifting me high, and when I was about to slide out, it had already lifted me diagonally forward.

I breathed a sigh of relief as I watched the shattered bridge and the cold water grow farther and farther away from me, and then grabbed an iron chopstick with both hands and fell as the tube contracted.

When I was about to hit Leng Yue, I quickly let go of my hand and leaned sideways to the side, almost grazing Leng Yue and falling to the ground.

This time, I fell as if I had fallen apart, it was very sore and soft, but fortunately I was still alive, which was better than anything else.

Leng Yue put away the big iron chopsticks, blinked her green eyes, looked at the small bridge that had completely collapsed, nodded and said, "It's good." ”

I got up slowly and took out a spare flashlight from my backpack, but instead of lighting it, I looked in the direction of Mr. Cui's people.

They had already passed the Spring Garden, a few of them had already entered the Silent Summer Pavilion, and some of them should have been bitten by a piranha, and they were letting out heart-rending screams, and the beams of the flashlights were swaying everywhere.

Now that the only bridge leading to our side has collapsed, they don't think they can make it this time, right?

"Let's go." Leng Yue said, turned around, and walked towards the tall rockery.

I said to Zhao Zitong and Kuroko: "Pay more attention, there should be a way out." ”

The two nodded yes in unison, without the slightest question.

This made me feel a little unaccustomed, because it was the first time for Zhao Zitong to be so obedient, and he had tried his best to fight against me before.

However, we didn't have to take a few steps before we could reach the bottom of the rockery when we were blocked by a monster.

This monster, which I had seen with Leng Yue before, was the giant ball made of countless disgusting long tongues.

Unlike what we had seen before, in the center of the ball facing us, the long tongue waved to the sides, revealing a strange face with eagle eyes, rabbit lips, and tiger teeth, staring at us coldly.

It opened its mouth slowly and let out a strange cry, like a cat crying spring, or like a baby's cry.

Kuroko shouted in horror: "Five...... Fifth brother, that's it! It's what ate my brothers! ”
