Their third project was to cross the drawstring balance bridge.
The production team was more evil. They specially made the gap between the balance logs almost half a meter apart. It was an extreme test of the guests’ balance, core strength, and arm strength. Under the balance logs was still a mud pit specially set up by the production team.
After confirming that his group would lose according to normal competitions, all kinds of evil ideas began to appear in Mai Tian’s mind. The philosophy he upheld was that since they could not win, the others could forget about winning.
Hence, just as Song Xu pulled the rope onto the balance beam and before he could take the first step, Mai Tian jumped into the mud pit and walked in front of him. Then, he grabbed the rope he was stepping on and swung it vigorously like a swing.
Without noticing, Song Xu almost could not stand steadily. He could only hurriedly grab the ropes on both sides to stabilize his center of gravity.
However, he was not to be bullied. Just as he stabilized himself, he shouted for him to leave quickly while trying to push him away with his feet.
Seeing that his plan did not work and he could not shake her into the mud, Mai Tian turned around and got the balance logs behind him. Not only did he shake them hard, but he also wrapped a few ropes of balance logs together and tied a few boards together.
This way, if Song Xu did not jump down and untie the rope, he would not be able to clear the level at all.
“You’re too cunning!” Song Xu was a little speechless.
The mud he had just been splashed with was not dry yet. He rinsed his mouth a few times and still felt that it tasted like mud. He really did not want to go in the mud anymore.
Unfortunately, Mai Tian did not care about his breakdown at all. After tying up the rope, he happily crawled out of the mud pit and started walking his balance wood.
Song Xu had no choice but to jump into the mud pit. However, he was not in a hurry to untie the rope of his balance beam. Instead, he ran to the next door and tied up Mai Tian’s balance beams like Mai Tian did just now. 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝙣𝙚𝙩
Mai Tian panicked when he saw this. “Song Xu, you copycat!”
Song Xu did not care about his cries. After tying the rope, he even shook the balance log Mai Tian was stepping on. Mai Tian lost his balance and fell into the mud pit.
Good lord, now the two of them were standing in a mud puddle.
The two of them looked at each other. They had the feeling that when enemies met, their eyes would turn red. Hence, they did not care about the competition anymore. The two of them roared and wrestled in the mud pit, turning into two clay figurines.
Initially, everyone was still worried that they would enter the haunted house later. Now that they saw Mai Tian and Song Xu playing so happily in the mud pit, they instantly forgot about their fear. They surrounded the mud pit and raised their hands to cheer for the two of them, making them fight more intensely. They even made a bet.
In the end, the director saw that it had dragged on too long and asked the staff to drag the two of them ashore. Then, he pressed them against the balance wooden starting point and asked them to compete obediently. Otherwise, he would let the two of them enter the glass house directly. Only then did the two of them stop.
After a fall, the two of them were even weaker, especially Mai Tian, the old man.
However, Mai Tian was not someone who would admit defeat so easily. Otherwise, he would not have been able to dominate the production team for so many years. He was already panting and his face was covered in mud, but he did not forget to cause trouble.
He wiped his eyes and left a few marks on his face, barely revealing a pair of small eyes. Then, he looked at Yu Han and the others, who were joining in the fun.
“Let’s make a deal. Why don’t we form an alliance? Help me stop Song Xu and stall him. Don’t let him pass. After we win, we’ll give you all the golden beans that the second place gets.”
The so-called golden beans were that after every competition, the first, second, and third places could obtain a different number of golden beans. The first place had six, the second place had four, and the third place only had two.
In the end, whoever had the most golden beans would win.
However, the strange thing about this show was that no matter how many golden beans you took in the beginning, you might lose in the last segment.
Hence, Mai Tian’s idea was very simple. In any case, he might not win in the end with the golden bean in his hands. He might as well spend it now and exchange it for a guarantee that he would not enter the glass house.
Yu Han and Song Yun’s eyes lit up when they heard that there was such a way to play. How could Jiang Li not know Mai Tian’s thoughts? Hence, she hurriedly stopped them. “No, your golden beans are not attractive to us.”
Shen Qing also hurriedly chimed in, “We’re so strong. We can win even if we don’t ally with you.. If there’s no benefit, why would we bother to help you?”
