Chapter 170: The Difficult Choice to Cross the Bridge
The group argued endlessly about the tortoise's limitations, creating a chaotic scene. Anxiety and confusion were written on everyone's faces, and voices rose and fell, intertwining one after another.
“I think we should let Xu Xian go first. He’s the weakest, so we need to take care of him,” Bai Suzhen said gently, her eyes full of concern for Xu Xian. Her gaze was like water, filled with deep love and worry, as if Xu Xian were the most precious treasure in her world.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xian hurriedly waved his hand, looking flustered: "No, no, no, my wife, you go first. I'm afraid I won't be of any help even if I go. I'm too weak to even kill a chicken, I don't want to cause trouble for everyone." His timid yet kind nature was on full display, his eyes darting around as he spoke, revealing his fear of the unknown and his concern for others.
Liu Yu stroked his chin, his eyes darting around. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Why don't we send Xiao Qing to scout ahead? She's highly skilled in magic, so she can handle any danger that might arise." His tone carried a hint of anticipation, as if he thought it was a good idea.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqing's eyes widened. She glared at Liu Yu, put her hands on her hips, and shouted, "Hmph, why should I go scout ahead? Why don't you go? You're using me as a pawn!" Her face was full of anger and dissatisfaction, like an enraged little lion.
Just then, the jinx came over with a grin, his face full of ingratiating smiles, and said with a grin, "How about I go first? I run fast, and if there's any danger, I can slip away quickly." As he spoke, he made exaggerated running movements.
Everyone rolled their eyes at him, their gazes filled with suspicion and disdain. Someone scoffed, "You? Don't be the slowest to run away from everyone else, and we'll have to come and rescue you."
Pigsy grunted to himself, his fat body rising and falling with each breath: "I, Old Pig, think it doesn't matter who goes first. I'll go last anyway, and I don't want to be the first to take the risk. I want to live a few more years and eat more delicious food." His little eyes darted around as he made his own little plans.
The celestial dog barked a few times, its tail wagging incessantly, as if it were also expressing its opinion.
Just as everyone was arguing, Erlang Shen from Heaven appeared with his celestial hound, Xiaotian. He was dashing and imposing, his armor gleaming with dazzling light.
"What are you all doing? Making such a racket, what kind of behavior is this?" Erlang Shen asked with a frown, his voice carrying a hint of authority.
The crowd quickly told Erlang Shen everything that had happened.
Erlang Shen couldn't help but smile after hearing this: "What's so difficult about that? Let me decide." His eyes were firm and full of confidence.
Everyone looked at Erlang Shen with anticipation, hoping he could provide a perfect solution.
Erlang Shen looked at everyone, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let them cross the bridge in order of age, from youngest to oldest."
After listening, everyone looked at each other, and then they all felt that this method was fairly reasonable.
So, the youngest Jade Rabbit volunteered to be the first to step onto the bridge. She took careful steps, her tiny feet landing lightly on the bridge, which swayed slightly, making her heart leap into her throat.
"Don't be afraid, Jade Rabbit, walk slowly." Bai Suzhen gently encouraged her from under the bridge, her voice as warm as a spring breeze.
The Jade Rabbit took a deep breath, bolstering her courage, and continued forward. Her ears stood straight up, and her eyes were fixed intently ahead, not daring to relax for a moment.
Just as the Jade Rabbit was about to reach the other side of the bridge, a sudden gust of wind swept in without warning, howling and engulfing the rabbit. The wind was so strong that the Jade Rabbit lost its footing.
"Ah!" Jade Rabbit screamed in fright, her voice filled with terror.
Everyone's hearts clenched, their eyes fixed on the Jade Rabbit, and they dared not utter a sound.
At the critical moment, Xiaoqing did not hesitate to use her magic. A flash of green light froze the jade rabbit, allowing her to reach the other side safely.
Next, it was Liu Yu's turn to cross the bridge. As he walked, he muttered to himself, "Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, please bless me to cross the bridge safely." His legs trembled incessantly, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
Seeing his nervous expression, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Someone joked, "Liu Yu, are you praying to the gods?"
Just as Liu Yu reached the middle of the bridge, it suddenly began to shake violently, as if it were about to throw him off. He turned pale with fright, his eyes wide open.
"Help!" Liu Yu shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice distorted.
Xu Xian quickly shouted, "Stay calm, Liu Yu, don't panic!" Although his voice was trembling, he still tried his best to encourage Liu Yu.
Fortunately, the shaking stopped quickly, and Liu Yu scrambled across the bridge safely.
One by one, everyone finally crossed the bridge.
Just when they thought the danger had passed, a huge maze appeared ahead. The walls of the maze soared into the clouds, with no end in sight, and a mysterious mist shrouded the entrance.
"What are we going to do?" Everyone looked at the intricate maze before them, feeling a headache coming on. Some sighed helplessly, while others began to complain.
Will they be able to escape the maze successfully? This leaves the next chapter with a suspenseful question full of unknowns and challenges.
