This time, there was none of the previous calm; everyone had an anxious look on their face and didn't dare to hesitate, jumping straight down.

Even Zhao Guo'an, who was always afraid of heights, looked eager at this moment.

Looking down, he glanced at the blood-covered one-eyed man. Zhao Guo'an clasped his hands together and silently recited in his heart, "Brother, since you're dead anyway, just make one more contribution, as a repayment, I'll burn more paper money for you.

Even though... I don't know your name, it doesn't matter, you can give me a dream, please, please."

After the silent prayer, he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, grabbed the steel whip tossed over by Lin Zhiyan, and jumped down, accurately stepping on the one-eyed man's stomach.

"Ugh..."

The one-eyed man, who had his eyes closed, opened them again and spat out another mouthful of black blood, his head slanting to the side, this time truly dead.

Zhao Guo'an was stunned, was this guy not dead earlier?

Xiao Feng was also astonished, thinking in his heart that this one-eyed man was so unlucky that in the end, he still died at Zhao Guo'an's hands, oh no, under his feet.

At this moment, Zhao Guo'an, who hadn't regained his senses, immediately felt a tugging force from his hand, and instantly couldn't think much, as he was lifted off the ground, took a few steps on the wall, and got pulled up.

"Rumble!"

The deafening noise approached more closely, and those who hadn't crossed yet were only Sun Shijie, Grandpa Jiu, and four other cannon fodders, including Meng Lang.

A piece of cannon fodder tugged Meng Lang's clothes, glancing at Grandpa Jiu and Sun Shijie, clearly planning to make something of it and cross first.

Meng Lang's eyes changed, revealing obvious temptation.

At the moment of life and death, even cannon fodders are reluctant to die just like that.

But soon, he still shook his head and said, "We are cannon fodder from the beginning, cannon fodder is supposed to have the awareness of being cannon fodder."

"..." The three people behind him were speechless, thinking, do you really need to be so diligent at being a piece of cannon fodder?

If someone who didn't know better saw this, they'd think you're some sort of dedicated second-rate regional role!

After Sun Shijie and Grandpa Jiu crossed successfully, it was finally the turn of the four pieces of cannon fodder.

Meng Lang took the lead, grabbing the steel whip and without blinking, jumped down.

This made the other three cannon fodders full of complaints in their hearts, what about the awareness of being cannon fodder?

If you are so capable, why don't you go last!

"I'll go first!"

"I'll go first!"

Two pieces of cannon fodder already started vying for the opportunity, hugging each other tightly, implying you don't let me go first, you also won't pass.

However, when they noticed the person behind them not moving, the two immediately stopped.

A snipe and a clam fight, and the fisherman benefits, this reasoning was understood by the two pieces of cannon fodder.

"Rock-paper-scissors, whoever wins goes first," someone suggested.

"Agree!"

The three immediately used rock-paper-scissors to decide the order, the first to pass was naturally all smiles, while the second and third were a bit worried.

"Boom!"

A huge sound, accompanied by a noticeable vibration underfoot, even quite a bit of rubble fell from above.

The person in second place looked back and saw the giant boulder already rolling down, unable to help but sweat in panic, shouting, "Hurry the hell up!"

Lin Zhiyan's eyes lifted, and two beams of cold light flashed.

That person was instantly scared, his whole body shaking, hastily apologizing, "You, you, you, don't misunderstand, I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to him."

Fortunately, Lin Zhiyan, who had always prioritized the greater good, didn't argue too much. After pulling up the second piece of cannon fodder after Meng Lang, she immediately swung the steel whip.

The one who had been waiting impatiently to curse caught the steel whip and jumped down immediately.

The one beside him seemed like he wanted to go first too, but he was still a bit slower in action.

At this moment, the giant boulder had already rolled down the last step, into a relatively flat passage, its speed even faster than before, clearly with no time left to escape.

"Ahhhhh!"

The person who lost the rock-paper-scissors cried out and took a step, jumping onto the one-eyed man's stomach.

People often explode with unlimited potential at their craziest moments!

This was certainly the case.

Knowing it was too late to be saved, he could only choose to save himself. Surprisingly, at a leap, he grabbed the ledge and could safely escape if someone pulled him.

Xiao Feng hesitated for a moment, seeming to consider whether to save him or not?

It wasn't any personal grudge, but the person climbing was the one whose behind was always wet and had a certain odor when walking.

Thinking about the faint yet ever-present smell lingering at the edge of his nose when they'd been on the steps before, Xiao Feng felt it was better to forego this piece of cannon fodder.

"Save, save me!"

Hearing this desperate cry for help, Xiao Feng slowly closed his eyes, sighed, then opened them and stepped forward to pull the person up.

There was no other way; he was too soft-hearted and too kind!

Unknowingly, if Zhao Guo'an and the others heard this self-reflection, their expressions would surely be amazing.

"Boom!"

The spherical boulder rolls into the deep pit, stirring up dust everywhere, and everyone toppled around, feeling as if it were an earthquake.

Fortunately, they had covered their ears in advance, so no hearing damage occurred.

After a long while, as the dust dissipated.

Looking at the snugly lodged boulder in the deep pit, Xiao Feng frowned slightly and said, "Is this thing part of the package?"

The accurate answer to this question presumably could only be given by the designer of the mechanism.

After resting at the spot for a while, Xiao Feng got up, dusted himself off, and beckoned, "Let's go."

"Alright!" Meng Lang nodded in agreement without hesitation, leading the three pieces of cannon fodder forward.

The boulder falling into the deep pit actually facilitated everyone stepping on it to pass through, avoiding much trouble of jumping around.

After walking a stretch, Zhao Guo'an glanced up at the colored posterior man, retching and saying, "Old Xiao, you really shouldn't have saved him."

Xiao Feng curled his lips, disdainfully responded, "Have you considered that if not for these pieces of cannon fodder, we might have been crushed by the rock just then?"

Zhao Guo'an was instantly speechless, just as the sudden nature of triggering mechanisms said, cannon fodder indeed played a role, an undeniable fact.

And having gone through one batch before, they climbed the steps much faster this time, reaching the top in less than twenty minutes.

The familiar dawn appeared ahead, but clearly, no one dared to rush forward again.

Meng Lang took a deep breath, eyes like a spotlight, observing the surrounding deliberate objects, tentatively moving upward.

Looking up at the huge cavity, the boulder must have fallen from there.

Finally approaching the dawn, Meng Lang grabbed the crevice with one hand, trying to push the stone blocking the front, but after several attempts, couldn't move it.

"Can't push it open, there's a stone blocking," Meng Lang turned back to report.

Xiao Feng gestured for him to step aside, approaching to tap the rock in front of him, the feedback sound was very dull, indicating the rock was very thick.
