"If you ask me, we should just blow it up," a burly man suggested.
"You talk as if you have explosives."
"The Super Management Bureau confiscated them when we came in."
When they entered the square earlier, the Super Management Bureau confiscated all high-powered weapons, leaving only a knife for each person to use for self-defense.
"So stop talking nonsense and think of a solution quickly."
Mo Chen frowned as he listened to the conversation.
Something was wrong.
The entrance to the maze had originally been open, so there was no doorway. He pulled the two women closer and saw that the 3-meter-high opening was perfectly fitted with a huge rock. It sat exactly in place, and the surrounding gaps were not big enough for a person to squeeze through.
"Hey, you three, do you have any tools? Quickly figure out a way to break this stone so everyone can go in and use their own methods."
The burly man who had previously suggested blowing it up roared at Mo Chen.
The burly man not only spoke loudly, but also very rudely, with an unquestionable tone.
"Shut up. It's none of your business whether I have tools or not!" Mo Chen yelled back irritably.
Right now, all Mo Chen wanted to know was who had blocked the entrance to the cave.
There shouldn't have been anyone else when the maze was built...
Could it have been done by that "spirited" animal?
But such a large rock must weigh at least tens of tons. Could they manage that?
The piglet's pajamas were only for defense, so it shouldn't be that.
What about the monkey? Its ability might be teleportation, but could that ability be used to move stones?
It could also have been done by another animal that Mo Chen had never seen before. After all, it possessed intelligence and extraordinary abilities, so it was quite possible that it could move such a large stone.
But... why block the entrance to the cave?
Did they discover some valuable treasure inside and fear others would covet it?
That actually made sense, since they had all become smarter.
Regardless, it was more important to go inside first.
"Young man, in this desolate wilderness, we should help each other and not offend anyone carelessly, lest someone stab us in the back."
The burly man stared at Mo Chen with a sly smile, his tone revealing a strong sense of danger.
"Qianqian, go beat him up and loosen up your muscles."
Mo Chen was too lazy to do it himself. This kind of trivial matter could be left to Zhou Qian as practice.
"Oh!"
Zhou Qian finished the last bit of pork knuckle and threw the bone toward the burly man.
The bone flew slowly toward him. It seemed like the man could easily dodge it.
Everyone was puzzled. How could a girl with that kind of strength hit someone from more than ten meters away?
The burly man also looked disdainful.
Then what happened next left them dumbfounded.
The bone unexpectedly veered off course and slammed toward the burly man, who had already dodged.
"Bang!"
It hit him right between the eyebrows without missing.
"Am I seeing things? How can it turn?"
"Wow, impressive! No wonder they let a girl do it! She's got some skills."
"Does she also have a star map?"
"Who knows? Let's just watch the show and not mess with them."
The burly man covered his forehead and glared at Zhou Qian.
"You little wench, you dare to hit me? You asked for it. I love playing with girls."
As he spoke, the burly man pulled out a long machete from behind him and charged forward with a lewd look in his eyes.
He was obviously not a good person.
"If I don't beat you to a pulp, I'm not a Zhou!"
Zhou Qian retorted without backing down and charged forward as well.
Mo Chen and Liu Yueyue watched from the sidelines without any worry. They knew that Zhou Qian's "Great Dao is Simple" was no joke.
The dozen or so people around shook their heads repeatedly. It seemed clear that Zhou Qian would suffer a loss.
However, things did not go as they expected.
When the big man swung his sword down, Zhou Qian not only didn't dodge, but instead used her right hand to meet the attack, catching the blade with one hand.
Everyone: "..."
It was hard to believe that a petite woman, less than 1.7 meters tall, had caught a knife swung by a 1.9-meter-tall man with her slender right hand.
The image was so shocking that it was awe-inspiring.
"How is this possible?" the burly man exclaimed, dumbfounded.
"Are your hands really that strong? Is this even a woman?"
Zhou Qian held the knife in her right hand and slapped the burly man with her left.
Then...
The burly man flew down the mountain.
Mo Chen: "..."
Liu Yueyue: "..."
Everyone: "..."
It was over already?
Mo Chen had thought Zhou Qian could hold her own for a few rounds, just like she had with that pig before, but...
Ah~~~~
Still in shock, the crowd heard a pitiful scream that gradually faded away.
Zhou Qian's slap was quite forceful. It must have sent him flying dozens of meters before he fell, after which he began his "close encounter" with the mountain.
And so, the big man rolled down the mountain.
The onlookers instinctively moved away from Zhou Qian as if she were a monster.
That's terrifying.
The battle ended in one round!
"Alright, let's go in."
No matter who blocked the door, they would go in first and talk about it later.
After saying that, Mo Chen transformed into a sea of flowers and rushed toward the boulder.
Rumble, rumble~~~
Mo Chen's movements were a bit too forceful, and everyone felt the entire mountain shaking.
Half a minute later, the boulder was blasted to pieces by Mo Chen.
"Let's go."
Mo Chen pulled the two women inside.
Just then, a woman's voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Wait a minute."
Mo Chen looked back and saw a woman jump down from a tree. She had short hair and wore camouflage.
Who else could it be but Gao Yue?
Mo Chen narrowed his eyes. What was this woman up to?
Everyone looked puzzled.
Could there be some other problem in the cave?
Gao Yue stepped forward, gave Mo Chen a killer smile, pointed at him, and said to the crowd, "Does everyone know who this person is?"
Of course, no one knew the answer, and they stared at her in complete bewilderment.
"He's the bastard who harassed everyone in the square," Gao Yue said.
The crowd exchanged glances, speechless.
They weren't fools. They had guessed it when Mo Chen transformed into a sea of flowers.
Although they were furious, what could they do?
Didn't they see that the big man had just flown down and disappeared?
Didn't they see that his flower field could even smash rocks?
So what if they knew who had teased them?
Did they want to argue with him?
Everyone looked at Gao Yue as if she were mentally challenged.
