Chapter 964 "The Final Puzzle: Do You Believe I Can Get Through It?"

"Zhang Meng, can you not walk so fast?" Bai Xue hurriedly chased after him, panting and saying, "If you keep walking like this, I'm not sure I can keep up with you!"

"Hey, Bai Xue, are you okay? You look like you're being chased." Zhang Meng turned his head, his face full of concern, and even stopped walking, "Why don't you take a rest? I'll wait for you, it's okay."

Bai Xue was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes: "Zhang Meng, I'm not that squeamish! I just don't want to be left too far behind by you. You know, I don't want to be dragged around by you for the whole day again."

"Okay, okay, since you said so, I'll slow down and fulfill your little wish." Zhang Meng smiled proudly, "But don't blame me for reminding you a long time ago - the challenge is getting harder and harder. If you really can't keep up with the physical strength, it will be troublesome!"

"You just use these 'challenges' to scare me!" Bai Xue walked in front of him angrily, "I don't believe in your nonsense."

"Okay, okay, I won't scare you." Zhang Meng shrugged. "But do you remember when we put the fragments together just now? That was just a piece of cake. The next one is the real 'hard dish'!"

"Hard dish?" Bai Xue rolled her eyes. "Are you sure you're not using some weird restaurant menu? 'Putting the pieces together' plus 'challenge' and 'mystery'? I'm really fed up with these terms of yours!"

"Hehe, to be honest, you don't have high expectations for my creativity, right?" Zhang Meng scratched his head. "But, I'm telling you, the next challenge is much more complicated than you imagined. Are you ready?"

Bai Xue's eyes widened. "Are you ready? Are you sure? Can you tell me first, what exactly are we facing?"

Zhang Meng stopped and pointed ahead mysteriously: "Look, that door, that's our real goal."

"Door?" Bai Xue looked over and saw that there was indeed a heavy stone door in front of her. There were ancient runes inlaid above the door, emitting a mysterious glow. "What's behind this door?"

"This is the final puzzle." Zhang Meng put away his smile and looked unusually serious. "I'm not sure if we can make it through, but I bet that only 'unity' and 'wisdom' can get us through."

"Unity and wisdom?" Bai Xue sneered. "You sound very lofty when you say that. Do we really need to work together to solve some puzzle?"

"That's right!" Zhang Meng nodded without hesitation. "Collaborative puzzle solving is our strong point! You and I, if we cooperate with each other, we will definitely be able to solve this 'ultimate puzzle'!"

"Okay, after hearing what you said, I am a little nervous." Bai Xue took a deep breath, "But, from what you said, it doesn't seem that simple?"

"You won't know if it's easy until you try it." Zhang Meng spread his hands, "Besides, if you're not nervous, it will make me feel that you don't take it seriously at all. You know, nervousness can stimulate people's potential!"

"Then I'd like to see what makes you so nervous." Bai Xue didn't reply, turned around and walked towards the door, looking a little anxious.

Zhang Meng followed behind her, his eyes flashing with cunning: "Don't worry, no matter what, the two of us will definitely work together to break through the last puzzle!"

Bai Xue stopped and looked at the door, feeling heavy-hearted. "What kind of problem is the last puzzle you mentioned? Can you give me some clues?"

"A clue?" Zhang Meng touched his chin with his hand. "It seems a little hard to explain. I can only tell you that the puzzle is the confusion of 'time and space', the interweaving of 'space' and 'time'."

"Time and space confusion?" Bai Xue smiled coldly, "Are you talking about those messy runes we encountered, or these chaotic mazes?"

"You're so smart!" Zhang Meng clapped his hands exaggeratedly. "You can figure it out from what I said. That's amazing! But don't get complacent too soon. The next puzzle is even harder."

Bai Xue shook her head helplessly: "Don't you really think you're a chatterbox? It's really annoying when you say these high-sounding words that I don't understand every time."

"That's because you didn't see the mystery clearly!" Zhang Meng waved his hand nonchalantly, "Okay, I won't talk any more. Now it's up to you to watch me!"

As he spoke, he walked towards the huge stone door. Bai Xue followed him and thought silently: What kind of puzzle could make Zhang Meng so confident?

Standing in front of the stone gate, Zhang Meng raised his hand and pressed the rune on the door. With a light press, the rune began to glow and the door vibrated slightly.

"It seems like it's time." Zhang Meng took a deep breath, "Are you ready for the challenge, Bai Xue?"

Bai Xue looked at the slowly opening stone door, feeling inexplicably nervous: "Is the 'challenge' you mentioned more terrifying than we thought?"

"Haha, you're right, Bai Xue." Zhang Meng suddenly laughed, "A challenge is a challenge. If we dare to take the risk, it means we are ready!"

The moment the door was fully opened, a strong energy wave came out from inside the door, and the air was filled with oppression, as if even time had stopped.

"Huh? This is..." Bai Xue narrowed her eyes, her heart beating faster involuntarily, "What is this?"

"Are you ready?" Zhang Meng asked in a low voice, "If we can pass, we will gain more powerful strength and richer experience."

"But, if I fail, hehe..." Bai Xue suddenly felt uneasy, "What will happen if I fail?"

"If we fail, we fail! There's nothing to be afraid of." Zhang Meng shrugged. "It's not the first time we fail, right?"

Bai Xue couldn't help but frowned: "Can you really be so free and easy?"

"Of course!" Zhang Meng smiled. "Isn't that what our life is like? If we fail, we can just start over. There's no need to be afraid of so many things!"

Bai Xue took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's go through this together! I'll accompany you to the end!"

"Okay! Let's go!" Zhang Meng strode into the stone gate, Bai Xue followed closely behind him, but the tension in his heart was resolved by his firm belief.

The moment the stone door closed, the atmosphere in the passage became extremely heavy, as if the air had solidified. The scene in front of them began to distort and become blurred. At this moment, a melodious bell sounded, and several lights and shadows flashed and suddenly appeared in front of the two.

"This is..." Bai Xue took a step back subconsciously, "Can you see these things clearly?"

Zhang Meng smiled mysteriously: "This is the beginning of the mystery."

Bai Xue didn't say anything else, but just held Zhang Meng's hand tightly, preparing to face the next test.

The next second, the light and shadow began to change rapidly, turning into several ancient mechanical monsters, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"It seems that the real challenge has just begun!" Zhang Meng gritted his teeth and said, with a gleam of determination in his eyes, "Are you ready?"

Bai Xue nodded: "I'm always ready! Come on!"

And they have just stepped into this foggy puzzle.
