Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Eating Dirt (Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

There was only one wooden bridge, and both wanted to cross it. Wu Daxi, being younger and more physically fit, ran faster than Teacher Zhang and was the first to get on the wooden bridge.

As soon as someone stepped on the wooden bridge, it began to shake instantly, causing Wu Daxi’s body to wobble as well.

Soon, Zhang Zhihuan also got on the wooden bridge. He swayed left and right, looking even less stable than Wu Daxi, on the verge of falling.

Suddenly, at one moment, Zhang Zhihuan poked Wu Daxi in the back, startling him. The wooden bridge shook violently, and he fell to the ground, caught off guard!

Teacher Zhang was wise; he immediately squatted down and did not fall due to the impact.

With one person less, Zhang Zhihuan quickly stood up to maintain his balance and hurried across the wooden bridge.

"Go Teacher Zhang, mighty Teacher Zhang, handsome Teacher Zhang!" He Jinxia and Song Zilin shouted from the team’s area, cheering for Zhang Zhihuan.

The atmosphere at the scene was also very lively; the audience whistled and clapped, some cheering for Zhang Zhihuan and others for Wu Daxi.

After crossing the wooden bridge, they came to the next challenge, crawling through the mud.

The production team specifically set up a net above it to fix the height. Once down on the ground, one’s back could not exceed the height of the net, or they would get tangled in the small wires hanging from the net

Ah, how do wires tangle a person?

Hehe, naturally, in this challenge, competitors must wear specially made clothes with many tiny plastic barbs which stick to the wires on the net, causing them to tangle together.

One can break free, but the more wires get tangled, the greater the force needed to break free.

If the posture for crawling forward is very non-standard, perhaps at the end, the reason they can’t continue forward is not due to lack of strength, but rather because there are too many wires tangled in their clothes.

Teacher Zhang took the lead and hurried to the crawling area to put on the specially made clothes. By then Wu Daxi had also arrived.

By the time Teacher Zhang started crawling on the ground, Wu Daxi had just picked up the clothes to wear.

For the sake of the show, Zhang Zhihuan, despite his age, desperately moved forward by crawling, that is, lying on the ground and using the strength of his elbows and legs to push his body forward.

The advantage of being young showed in Wu Daxi at this moment; he had good stamina and, in order to speed up and overtake Teacher Zhang, also made his posture non-standard, fearlessly letting the clothes get tangled in the little wires.

But, if this challenge were only this difficult, that would be too boring!

The production team, no matter how foolish, would not simply allow this stage to pass so smoothly and comfortably.

So, when the two were halfway through their crawling journey, a "Demon King" appeared, dressed in black and wearing a black hood, looking completely dark.

The Demon King represented evil forces wanting to destroy the universe.

Under the stunned gazes of the "Otherworldly Guardians," the Demon King waved his hand, ordering his minions to bring from below the stage—

Super! Powerful! Electric! Fan!

With a light press, a howling wind blew out of the electric fan, straight at Zhang Zhihuan and Wu Daxi.

Suddenly, the wind howled, lightning flashed, debris flew, and the mud splattered...

The emphasis on the last four words.

Accompanied by the production team playing thunder and rain BGM, Zhang Zhihuan and Wu Daxi faced the storm—

and ate a face full of mud -_-||

As mentioned before, this stage involved crawling on muddy ground, so there really was mud and dust.

When the wind blew, debris mixed with dirt flew up, attacking Zhang Zhihuan and Wu Daxi.

Under the strong wind and mud attack, both of their expressions were very fierce.

Song Zilin immediately turned pale, her mouth twitching, unable to bear watching.

She looked at He Jinxia with slightly squinted eyes, who appeared deadly serious, and couldn’t help saying, "Isn’t this too tragic?"

He Jinxia nodded vigorously in agreement, "Yes, it’s very tragic."

Song Zilin, "Then when it’s our turn..."

He Jinxia coughed lightly, "I hope the Demon King will show us fairies some mercy."

Song Zilin thought for a moment, then sincerely looked at He Jinxia and asked, "Do you think that’s possible?"

He Jinxia paused for a while, "I don’t think it’s very likely."

From the earpiece, the chief director heard the conversation between the two, "..."

So what exactly are you two discussing back and forth?!

Can you add some quirky and funny elements?

The director felt exhausted.

Compared to the Red Team, who didn’t have much material to offer, the Blue Team was relatively better.

Deng Xiiaoxiiao, being the humor representative of the crew, made a terrified expression when seeing Zhang Zhihuan and Wu Daxi being so severely pranked.

Eyebrows, eyes, mouth.... Deng Xiiaoxiiao adjusted his features, and there it was—a [Terrified/Panic/Help/Scary.jpg]

A perfect meme material.

Li Li, on the other hand, was maintaining her delicate and gentle persona, demurely saying, "Oh my god, that’s terrifying," "No, why is it so tragic," "They are so pitiful..."

Even though her facial management was also spot on, standing next to Deng Xiiaoxiiao, the humor representative, it blatantly showed Li Li was the one being overshadowed.

It looked way too contrived!

The show continued.

Zhang Zhihuan and Wu Daxi faced the howling winds and the dust storms, even if it meant eating dirt! They bravely crawled forward, undeterred by the dangers!

The background music suddenly changed, a mournful and majestic song played:

"You carry the load, I lead the horse, welcoming the sunrise, bidding farewell to the twilight, smoothing the bumps to make the road, having conquered peril, we set off again, we set off again..."

Zhang Zhihuan and Wu Daxi, to the tune of the music, reached out to help each other in adversity, pulling each other up, step by step, they crawled out of the mud.

Standing up, both were covered in dust, their faces dirty, and even had some dirt in their mouths, looking inexplicably desolate.

"Seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, episodes of sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy, bravely asking where the path leads, the path lies under our feet..."

The audience, seeing this scene, couldn’t help but burst into laughter with a "pfft."

He Jinxia and Song Zilin also wanted to laugh, they looked at each other and struggled to hold it in.

No, they should not laugh, they must hold it in, hold it in!!

After the brutally insane second challenge, the third and last challenge—rock climbing—finally went back to normal.

The nearly ten-foot-high rock climb was not much of a challenge for men, and in less than five minutes, Wu Daxi and Zhang Zhihuan had each picked a Red Flower and returned to their team.

He Jinxia checked the timer, which had already counted twelve minutes, leaving them with only eight minutes, unsure if they could complete another person.

Teacher Zhang also checked the time, realizing they were running short, made an on-the-spot strategy change. Initially planning to have He Jinxia perform last, he now had to adjust for her to go first.

The production crew saw potential in He Jinxia and naturally wanted to give her more screen time. When one person gets more camera time, naturally others get less.

He Jinxia made her appearance, which probably meant Song Zilin would have nothing to do
