If everyone’s guess was correct, this round’s “Yin Earth” balls should come with poisonous smoke that would be fatal to any team of participants.

But in this team, one person happened to step forward several paces and stand in the center of the track.

“What’s going on?” Qiu Twenty scratched his hair and walked forward a few steps.

“Annoying Kid…” At this moment, Qiao Jiajin suddenly thought of something too.

“Earth-Horse, oh Earth-Horse…” Qiu Twenty once again put on that face begging to be punched. “Did I see that wrong? Is this really all you’ve got?”

Seeing this scene, Earth-Horse could only sigh helplessly.

Whether by coincidence or fate, this team just happened to be able to crack all the difficult problems appearing in this “Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse” game.

“What terrible luck…” Earth-Horse said. “Are you all really not sent by ‘up there’ to mess with me?”

Qiu Twenty let out a cold laugh and directly raised both hands. “I… want a gust of wind!”

As soon as the words fell, all the thick smoke on the track began to shake violently. In this completely sealed indoor space, a strong wind somehow blew in at this moment.

“I… want a fierce gale!!”

Qiu Twenty waved his hands like a crazed conductor in thick fog and fierce wind, and all the smoke was instantly blown away almost completely.

Blowing away smoke over such a broad range was much easier than stopping iron balls in mid-air.

The strong wind continuously swept across the track, not only dispersing all the smoke but also rolling the mud balls on the ground toward the walls, and the thick smoke on them gradually became invisible.

“That’s it?” Qiu Twenty was panting, but still didn’t forget to turn around and taunt Earth-Horse. “Is that it? Do you have anything more powerful?”

Earth-Horse slowly stood up but didn’t pay any attention to Qiu Twenty. Instead, she stretched her muscles and did several lazy stretches.

“I’ll remember you,” Earth-Horse said. “Next round, you’d better wear your bulletproof vest and put on your steel helmet.”

These words made Qiu Twenty slowly swallow his saliva, but he still gritted his teeth and said, “No way? Getting anxious?”

This time, Earth-Horse wasn’t angered by Qiu Twenty’s provocation. She just continued stretching her muscles. She was confident that when she threw balls herself, she could kill everyone on the field with one hundred percent certainty. No matter how tough-talking these people were, they couldn’t possibly be her match.

“Killing you all… doesn’t require any urgency,” Earth-Horse said in a cold tone. “None of you are leaving today.”

Everyone naturally knew that the seventh round couldn’t be passed just by Qiu Twenty’s sharp tongue. They could only immediately spring into action. When the poisonous smoke on the track had mostly dissipated, they covered their mouths and noses, came to the end of the track, and together pushed the cart back.

After several consecutive cart pushes, everyone had gained experience.

On this track, the most important thing about pushing the cart wasn’t “maintaining a straight line” at all, but rather using explosive speed to make the cart move forward quickly. Even if the cart kept spinning, even if it veered off the track, they absolutely couldn’t let it stop. Otherwise, the corrosive poisonous gas and mud balls could very likely be directly fatal.

Yun Shijiu sat securely in the cart, tried his best to lower himself and hug his legs, then listened to the whooshing sound in his ears. His nasal cavity also inhaled several breaths of gas with a peculiar smell. Fortunately, the poisonous gas was already very diluted. He only felt his throat was a bit itchy.

At the last moment, the cart rushed out of the track and arrived at the floor without ice surface. It still didn’t overturn and just slid for a distance before stopping in place.

At this moment, the entire venue was once again billowing with thick smoke. Qiu Twenty also used all his willpower one last time to summon a fierce gale.

Zhou Liu understood tacitly and walked to the side, suddenly throwing open the basketball arena’s door. At the same time Qi Xia noticed her action, he felt his ears ringing for a moment.

He looked at Zhou Liu with interest, suddenly thinking of something rather incredible.

Zhou Liu opening the door… was she adjusting the indoor air pressure?

Because Qiu Twenty summoned fierce winds out of thin air, the air pressure inside the room was getting higher and higher. If the door wasn’t opened to expel these air currents, everyone inside would probably feel quite uncomfortable.

How many times had they cooperated to develop such understanding?

“Thanks, Sixth Sister!” Qiu Twenty waved from a distance, then standing at the finish line, he called out to Earth-Horse at the starting point, “No way? That’s it? I thought it would be more powerful on the way back, but is this really it?”

“Hehe…” Earth-Horse slowly revealed an ugly smile. “Protect your own head well.”

Everyone braced themselves and came to the starting point with cold expressions.

What came next was the most critical moment.

If they wanted all their earlier efforts not to be in vain, they had to survive this round.

After everyone came to the starting point and wanted to discuss countermeasures, Bai Jiu at this time didn’t dare to speak. She slowly shifted her gaze to Qi Xia not far away.

This person could break all the mechanisms on the field with just one glance. Had he already thought of a method to deal with Earth-Horse?

At this time, Earth-Horse took out a specially made bamboo tube from the nearby ruins, about the length of a forearm, then came to the far end of the track. A small hole was carved in the bottom of the bamboo tube, seemingly just right for taking out “balls.”

She stood at the farthest end of the track like an immovable mechanism. What surprised everyone was that at this moment, the mechanisms all around also began to tremble silently.

It seemed Earth-Horse had one more thing she hadn’t mentioned.

In the seventh round, not only would Earth-Horse throw balls, but all the mechanisms would also attack together again.

This wasn’t a straight track covered with ice at all, but a road to hell toward death.

“When everyone is ready… let’s start immediately,” Earth-Horse said with a smile, taking out a stone ball from the bamboo tube and weighing it in her hand. “I wonder what ‘speed’ you all want to use to escape my attacks?”

Seeing this scene, Qi Xia lightly touched his chin, feeling like he had caught onto some clue.

A bamboo tube the length of a forearm—how many “balls” could it hold?

Each one was the size of a fist, at most ten centimeters in diameter. From the looks of it, the bamboo tube held no more than five or six balls.

Just like the rules of all Earth-level games, Earth-Horse absolutely couldn’t throw seven balls to attack seven people.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for anyone to survive this game.

“Fist…” Qi Xia took a deep breath and said, “In this last round, my strategies will be hard to work anymore. This monster isn’t standing on the side of the track but is standing opposite us… Even accelerating the cart won’t allow us to dodge the ‘balls’ one hundred percent.”

“Liar Boy, no need to explain grand principles to me.” Qiao Jiajin also stretched his muscles and said, “Just tell me what to do directly, as simple and easy to understand as possible, or else I won’t understand.”

“Hit,” Qi Xia said. “For you, hit whatever you see.”

“Hit.” Qiao Jiajin nodded. “Indeed concise and clear. Beat that damn bastard to death.”
