Chapter 52 Chapter 27 II

Previous Chapter

The wood is almost the same size, a cylindrical oak about one meter long and about fifty centimeters in diameter, these oaks have a smooth surface, but due to natural weathering and water loss over time, the wood has become unusually hard and the grain has become more pronounced. Each piece of wood has its own unique texture and color, and some even have faintly visible growth rings, which seem to tell the story of a period of precipitation.

The contestants were not in the mood to admire the piece of wood, they were anxiously waiting for the moment when they could reach the axe, No. 2 was already lying on the ground, reaching for the axe, and Tian Ye hurried to do the same as him, lying down to reach the axe, and the rest of the people noticed it and fell down as well.

No. 2 used to be a rider in Meituan, but later became addicted to online gambling and owed a large amount of loan sharks, and he also came here by chance. His age and body are about the same as Tian Ye, but because he has been running takeaway for a few years before, he must be physically stronger than Tian Ye, so in this comparison, it seems that Tian Ye's odds of winning are lower.

Tian Ye picked up the axe, it was a very sharp axe, the sharp blade reflected a dazzling light, and even if the finger was lightly put on it, I was afraid that it would cut a hole. But he didn't have the time to observe the axe at this moment, so he quickly stood up, and used all his strength to slash down towards the middle of the wood. He only heard a "bang", and the axe in the field was bounced away, which shook his tiger head, but there was only a small hole in the wood, and the No. 2 side had been cut several times in a row, and there was a big hole in the wood. Tian Ye noticed that the axe on the opposite side was chopping diagonally, and quickly adjusted his posture, and at the same time no longer used all his strength, after all, to cut such a thick wood, it must be a protracted battle.

Again and again, more and more parts of the wood in front of the field were cut off, and his breathing became more and more rapid, and his clothes were already wet with sweat, after all, swinging the axe for a few minutes in a row, anyone would be out of breath, of course, No. 2 was no exception, at this time, the wood in front of No. 2 had been cut to two-fifths of the position, and the field had just cut one-fifth, his heart was a little complacent, after all, he usually worked hard, and he would not be afraid of anyone in the game of strength. Seeing that he had such a big advantage, he thought that he was already winning, put down the axe first, talked about his clothes and wiped the sweat on his face, shook his hands, and chopped for several minutes in a row to make his hands a little sore, and when he picked up the axe again, he already had a little fluttering feeling, while chopping the wood in front of him, while fantasizing about life after winning the prize of 10 million.

But in just such a while, the field has caught up with his progress, and the two of them have almost cut half of the wood, No. 2 was a little panicked, but comforted himself that he had just rested for a while, and his state must be stronger than him, as long as he stabilized his mentality, he would soon be able to surpass him again, so he focused on his spirit and chopped the wood in front of him at once.

After cutting the field for nearly ten minutes, his whole body was already soaked with sweat, and the beads of sweat on his face were rolling down one by one, but he couldn't see the feeling of exhaustion on his face at all, and even after this short period of time to chop wood, he learned a lot of skills in chopping wood, and the efficiency of chopping wood became higher and higher. When the cut was halfway through, it became more and more difficult for the field to continue looking at the original position, so it was split on the other side of the wood.

No. 2 cut to two-thirds of the position, only to feel that the axe was getting heavier and heavier, his hands were getting more and more sore, and the axe was swinging more and more slowly, but he thought that his progress should be ahead again, and glanced at the wood in the field, one half, "Whew~, it's okay, it's ahead again." He raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his face with his elbow, but then he saw that an oversized gap had been cut on the other side of the wood in the field, and it was only one-fifth the width of the wood that had been cut off! He panicked, and quickly swung his axe, and slashed at the wood with all his might, but the original position was too slow, so he also followed the example of the field, and cut it from the other side. "There's still a chance, there's still a chance, I'm only a little bit behind, I can catch up." But seeing that there was less and less wood in the field, he couldn't help but panic, struggling to cut new gaps, and forgetting the soreness in his hands and the exhaustion of his body.
