NOVEL NEXT Chapter 94: The Heart Is Too Dirty
After an unknown period of time, at the break of dawn, the end was finally in sight. The people walking in front perked up, but when they gritted their teeth and struggled to move towards the finish line, they suddenly let out shrill screams and then plunged off the bridge just like that! Even though the people behind were on high alert, when they reached that spot, they were still so frightened that their guts were torn apart, and still couldn't escape the fate of falling off the bridge. There were thirteen people in front of Lan Zhi, but surprisingly, only four of them managed to reach the finish line. Lan Zhi wasn't worried about herself. After getting mentally prepared, she lifted her foot and walked towards the end. With just a few meters left to reach the end, suddenly, the shrill shrieks of the filthy beasts rang in Lan Zhi's ears. At the same time, seven or eight filthy beasts, each larger than a human, with their huge mouths wide open, pounced on her from all directions! There were bone-winged filthy birds with huge wings, filthy wolves baring their sharp teeth, and filthy snakes thicker than thighs and hissing with their tongues flickering, instantly blocking her way in all directions. Lan Zhi: "!" Lan Zhi was startled but didn't panic. She leaned back, and just as her soul threads were about to strike out, she unexpectedly realized - It was just an illusion. What was even more ruthless was that although the filthy beasts were illusions, the star power attacks coming from all directions were real. It's just that these attacks didn't come from the filthy beasts in the illusion. Whose idea was this? When there was only a tiny distance left to success, when everyone was exhausted to the extreme and was about to relax and cheer, to suddenly encounter such a terrifying attack of this intensity would drive anyone crazy. Especially those family cultivators who needed to hire guards even for the filth-cleansing tasks. In this situation, it would be good if they weren't scared to death. There was no way they could discover it was an illusion. All one could say was that the heart of the designer was too dirty and too ruthless! After seeing through the essence, Lan Zhi withdrew her soul threads with a heart full of helplessness to complain and walked the remaining distance with her eyes closed. After reaching the finish line, she let out a soft breath and found a place to sit down and drink Songxia Dew. Remembering that Jin Yuman was still on the bridge, she swept her divine consciousness and immediately saw that the other person was lying motionless at a point one-fifth of the way from the finish line. So Lan Zhi sent her a voice transmission: "The finish line is right in front. With a bit more effort, you can reach it." Hearing the voice, Jin Yuman moved her lips with difficulty and said in a voice as faint as a mosquito's: "I can't crawl anymore..." Lan Zhi had just discovered that the sword qi effect of this bridge actually varied from person to person. No matter who stood on it, they would be pressed to the limit of their bodies all the same. The people who could complete the whole journey weren't those with higher cultivation levels, but those with stronger willpower. Part of the reason why she had a relatively easier time along the way compared to others was that her willpower was stronger, and these suppressions couldn't affect her at all. But Jin Yuman didn't understand. After thinking for a while, Lan Zhi decided to inspire her willpower: "Are you really going to give up now? Are you already prepared to use money to bribe the poor family cultivator who gets the first place?" Jin Yuman trembled and instantly sobered up. She crawled with difficulty for a while. By chance, she saw that the finish line was right in front and immediately burst out with a strength that even she herself didn't expect. Without Lan Zhi having to say anything more, she kept struggling to crawl forward, and forward again.
