Chapter 955 Zhang Meng's "Breaking the Situation"

"Zhang Meng, what on earth are you doing?" Bai Xue stood weakly at the end of the passage, looking at Zhang Meng with a puzzled look on her face. He began to act "smart" again, completely ignoring the danger of the rising temperature around him.

"What are you doing? Bai Xue, you really don't understand!" Zhang Meng fiddled with a piece of debris in his hand and replied mysteriously, "This is not called 'doing something', this is called 'breaking the situation'!"

"Break the situation?" Bai Xue raised her eyebrows, obviously not believing it. "What do you mean? You just stand here and watch my back being eaten by a monster. How can you say that you have broken the situation?"

"If you only know how to look behind you, you're really courting death." Zhang Meng made a "cut" gesture, turned around and strode towards the passage ahead. "Really? You can't even understand such a simple thing. Do you think I can give you an answer so easily?"

Bai Xue was about to explode with anger, and rolled her eyes at him: "Can you not always give me such vague answers? You are so 'smart' every time, can you make it clear to me?"

Zhang Meng laughed loudly: "Clear? Bai Xue, if it's clear, it's boring! This is suspense, you know? If I tell everything, wouldn't it become an ordinary plot? Who wants to watch this kind of drama?"

"You just like to use this kind of 'old-fashioned' lines to fool me." Bai Xue curled her lips slightly, "Unfortunately, I don't have your patience."

Zhang Meng didn't care about his words and continued walking. He even kicked the stones under his feet, enjoying the peace leisurely. "Don't worry, you will know what it means to break through and what it means to survive in a desperate situation."

"Hmph, you're playing tricks again." Bai Xue thought to herself, and suddenly felt that Zhang Meng really made her want to hit him sometimes, but she couldn't bear to hit him - why was this guy so annoying, yet kind of helplessly cute.

As Zhang Meng walked, a hidden passage gradually appeared, as if a stone door was pushed open silently by him. Bai Xue frowned: "How do you know this way?"

"You asked a good question," Zhang Meng nodded with satisfaction. "I will give you the answer to this question later, but now, let me pick up the fallen 'fragments'."

"Fragments?" Bai Xue's face was more puzzled. Zhang Meng had just mentioned a "breakthrough", could it be that he really solved the problem by picking up fragments at random?

"Bai Xue, let's go." Zhang Meng smiled and walked towards the other side of the stone gate. "When you get there, you will understand that all this is just a carefully arranged 'plot'."

"An arranged 'plot'?" Bai Xue felt a headache and thought: When will this guy stop talking nonsense and explain something without beating around the bush?

However, Zhang Meng seemed not to hear Bai Xue's voice. His pace became faster and faster. At a certain moment, a subtle expression appeared on his face, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Bai Xue, come here!" Zhang Meng turned and looked at Bai Xue, with a mysterious light flashing in his eyes.

Bai Xue no longer hesitated and followed closely. Unexpectedly, the passage curved very quickly, as if it had entered some kind of complicated maze.

"Hey, Bai Xue, you see, this road is not easy." Zhang Meng turned around and said with a smile, "Like I said just now, the real 'challenge' has just begun!"

"I want to see what kind of 'challenge' you can come up with." Bai Xue's voice was low and she almost gritted her teeth. "Is it another kind of... 'challenge'?"

"You're wrong to think so." Zhang Meng said proudly, "Do you know what I like most? That is - every problem has more than a dozen solutions. And every solution will bring surprises!"

"'Surprise'?" Bai Xue smiled coldly, "Do you always manage to scare me? I think your head is caught in the door."

"Okay, stop complaining." Zhang Meng suddenly turned around, his tone becoming serious, "Every step forward depends on our cooperation!"

Bai Xue instinctively felt nervous: "Cooperation? When have we ever cooperated? Could it be that..."

Zhang Meng nodded seriously, "Yes, we need to cooperate this time. Because next, we will face a more complicated situation - and that 'situation' is exactly what you and I are best at dealing with!"

"A complicated situation?" Bai Xue felt something was wrong. "Are you secretly doing something again?"

"Don't worry!" Zhang Meng looked at Bai Xue's anxious face and smiled triumphantly, "Complex situation - we can definitely handle it!"

Just when Bai Xue wanted to ask again, the stone door slammed shut, and a deep voice came from the end of the passage: "You have entered the most dangerous area. The only way to survive is to pass the test!"

Zhang Meng smiled calmly: "Test? Haha, isn't this tailor-made for me? Come on, give me the most difficult test!"

"You..." Bai Xue almost choked out her breath, "Are you so confident?"

"Haha, confidence is king, Bai Xue." Zhang Meng patted her shoulder, "You just need to do one thing now, and that is - follow me, no matter what happens!"

At this moment, a colorful light suddenly appeared in the depths of the passage, and complex runes appeared before their eyes, vaguely forming a huge formation.

"What the hell is this?" Bai Xue's eyes widened. "How do you know what these are?"

Zhang Meng smiled slightly: "That's right, these runes are not ordinary formations, but the key to the 'unknown'. Now, our task is to solve these mysteries!"

Bai Xue was speechless: "Aren't you going to give me a little clear guidance?"

"Guide?" Zhang Meng's mouth curled up slightly. "Isn't this the fun of solving puzzles?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the light of the formation began to accelerate, and the rotating runes gradually began to produce energy fluctuations, and the sense of oppression in the air became stronger and stronger. Zhang Meng stretched out his hand, and a strong light emanated from his body.

"Are you ready, Bai Xue? If we can successfully pass this 'challenge', we will have all the opportunities that come next!" Zhang Meng said firmly, "But if we fail, hehe, the consequences will be beyond your imagination!"

Bai Xue finally panicked: "Zhang Meng, you're not going to tell me what's going to happen next?"

"Don't worry, 'ignorance' is sometimes a kind of strength!" Zhang Meng took a deep breath, "The challenge begins!"
