Chapter 953 Zhang Meng's "IQ Test"

"Zhang Meng, what's going on ahead?" Bai Xue asked in a low voice while staring nervously ahead, "This passage seems to be completely different, isn't it?"

"That's right, Bai Xue, you have sharp eyes." Zhang Meng stood beside her, pretending to observe the surroundings as if nothing had happened, his tone still as relaxed, "The layout here is obviously different from the previous section of the road."

"Why don't you tell me what's different about this 'difference'?" Bai Xue asked impatiently, feeling vaguely uneasy.

"Ah, Bai Xue, you are so anxious!" Zhang Meng lowered his head and began to carefully look at the ground under his feet. "We must first figure out whether the change in the passage is a sign. Look, the pattern of the floor is different from before."

Bai Xue looked down and saw that indeed, as Zhang Meng said, some strange symbols appeared on the ground of the passage. These symbols seemed to have just been generated, and were obviously filled with some unknown power.

"What is this symbol?" Bai Xue asked puzzledly, and her finger gently ran across a curved line. As a result, the moment her finger touched the symbol, the entire symbol suddenly began to glow, emitting a dazzling light.

"Huh?" Bai Xue pulled her hand back subconsciously, "What's going on? Didn't you say there was nothing wrong with these symbols?"

"I told you, this kind of problem is nothing." Zhang Meng waved his hand and smiled, "Bai Xue, you have to believe me. To be able to pass through this kind of 'secret' passage, you must be a little smart. I have never been injured since I was a child, so you can trust me!"

"How on earth have you survived to this day?" Bai Xue rolled her eyes. "You live like this as if God has blessed you all your life."

"That's right, my luck has never failed!" Zhang Meng said disapprovingly, "But then again, these symbols in front of me do have some problems."

"Problem?" Bai Xue was puzzled. "Didn't you say there was no problem?"

"Well, I've said it before. The problem is that these symbols are leading us deeper into the place. Anyway, we can only go down now." Zhang Meng narrowed his eyes slightly, shifted his gaze away from the symbols, and looked forward. "Let's go and take a look."

Bai Xue hesitated for a moment, but quickly put aside her doubts and followed Zhang Meng.

After walking a few steps, the passage ahead suddenly curved, and deep beams of light began to rise on both sides of the cave entrance. The center of the light beam faced the walls on both sides, and the walls were covered with more complex runes.

"Hey, these runes seem a bit..." Before Bai Xue could finish her words, a huge roar was heard, and the entire passage began to shake violently, with bursts of low noises coming from all around.

"Don't be afraid!" Zhang Meng grabbed Bai Xue, "This voice is just a warning, telling us that the next step will be more challenging!"

"Challenging?" Bai Xue looked at him suspiciously, "Are you saying there is a trap here?"

"Of course! How could I miss such a challenge!" Zhang Meng showed a proud smile, "But I can handle these traps easily, so relax!"

"Can you handle it?" Bai Xue looked at him suspiciously. She was almost driven crazy by Zhang Meng's confidence. "You can handle it like this?"

"Haha, Bai Xue, you have to believe me!" Zhang Meng patted his chest, full of confidence, "Even if there is some earth-shattering mechanism hidden in this passage, I can easily deal with it with my wisdom!"

"Wisdom?" Bai Xue couldn't help but rolled her eyes. "Your greatest wisdom is 'good luck', right?"

"Oh, Bai Xue, I'm a little sad when you say that." Zhang Meng made a helpless expression, "But if we really talk about wisdom, haha, I have 'insight' far beyond that of ordinary people. Who can be fooled by this mechanism?"

"Then show me what you can do quickly." Bai Xue didn't say anything else, but her tone sounded a little impatient.

Zhang Meng chuckled and said, "Alright, Bai Xue, just wait and see how I crack these traps."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Meng had already stepped forward, his eyes quickly scanning every detail around him in the air, as if he was looking for some clues.

Suddenly, Zhang Meng stopped, his eyes lit up slightly, "It's here!"

Bai Xue was stunned: "What did you find?"

Zhang Meng pointed to a small trap under his feet and said, "There is a small mechanism here. It may not look very impressive, but once it is triggered, it will cause the entire passage to explode. We only need to step on it lightly to disable it."

"Explosion? That's easy for you to say." Bai Xue's heartbeat quickened when she heard the word "explosion". "Then how do you know it will fail?"

"That's because I'm very smart!" Zhang Meng spread his hands, "Come on, Bai Xue, close your eyes, and watch me perform from now on!"

"I won't go if you close your eyes!" Bai Xue frowned, stood still, her eyes fixed on Zhang Meng's every move.

"Don't worry!" Zhang Meng said loudly, "Just wait and see how I demonstrate my 'super intelligence'!"

Then he lowered his head and pressed the stone slab next to the mechanism with both hands, and suddenly a ray of light flashed.

"Snapped!"

After a slight sound, the mechanism under his feet did not activate. Zhang Meng raised his head proudly: "See, I expected this!"

Bai Xue gave him a deep look and said, "Don't be too proud too soon!"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Meng asked puzzledly.

"Look again!" Bai Xue pointed at the wall next to the mechanism, "You forgot to pay attention to the invisible symbol."

Zhang Meng's expression froze instantly. He turned his head to look at the symbol on the wall, as if he was surprised: "Oh, so that's how it is."

"What the hell is this?" Bai Xue was stunned. "Aren't you extremely smart?"

"Haha, I am indeed very smart." Zhang Meng laughed, "But, there is nothing I can do about this kind of small problem. After all, I am a born lucky person!"

"Born lucky? Do you think your head can be used as a frying pan?" Bai Xue glared at him, "I'm really impressed by you!"

"Haha, Bai Xue, I have a feeling today that we will encounter something very 'magical'!"

Just as he finished speaking, a roar suddenly came from the passage ahead, as if something huge was approaching them.

"Are you here?" Zhang Meng smiled and patted Bai Xue's shoulder, "Are you ready for the challenge?"

"Don't mess around this time!" Bai Xue rolled her eyes, "Can you please stop causing trouble for me?"

"Don't worry, I will keep my composure!" Zhang Meng waved his hand, his face full of confidence.

But at this moment, the strange noise in the passage became louder and louder, and a dark shadow flashed in the distance, and then -
