The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

The black cat sat in the middle of the stone platform at the other end of the stone bridge, just like when it had just appeared, staring calmly at the three people opposite it.

The pupils in its emerald green eyes were as thin as needles, and there was no obvious expression on its face.

Xu Yiyu closed his eyes, forced himself to calm down his fluctuating emotions, and then opened his eyes again.

"Miss Xu, do you have any idea?"

Lin Yi and Rong Yan asked the question in unison. The not-so-loud sound echoed on the walls, forming a not-so-obvious echo.

"Please take out the ropes in your bags, tie them into a rope, and tie one end around my waist. I will go up the bridge and explore the way first."

After calming down, her eyes became as calm as water, revealing an irrefutable firmness.

Her physical condition was enough for her to cross the stone bridge safely, and it was also a good opportunity for the two of them to test the waters and see if those black diamond-shaped tiles would trigger other dangerous mechanisms.

Lin Yi's resolute face revealed a slight touch of emotion, and he pursed his lips unconsciously.

Rong Yan pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a rare hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

They all understood that Xu Yiyu should have no problem protecting himself, but they were afraid of "what if" situations might occur.

No matter how strong Xu Yiyu is, she is still a human being, not an omnipotent god.

If they allowed Xu Yiyu to go up the bridge, in a sense they were actually allowing her to become a "victim."

Although the two men said nothing, they took out the ropes from the bag as Xu Yiyu said, but they were unable to tie them into one.

Xu Yiyu understood the hesitation of his two companions, so he did not let them do anything. He squatted down and skillfully tied the ropes into a knot. At the other end, he made a rope loop of adjustable size and put it around his waist.

"If both of you have no objection, then I will--"

"and many more."

Just as Xu Yiyu was about to go up the bridge, Lin Yi raised his hand and pressed her shoulder with a little force, stopping her from taking action without consulting anyone later.

"Captain Lin, what are you doing..."

"I just want to remind Mr. Xu that you must pay attention to safety."

When Lin Yi, who usually doesn't talk much, said these two sentences, Xu Yi was a little surprised.

But on second thought, he understood Lin Yi.

Honghong's injury must have irritated this expressionless criminal police captain, so he was instructing her so cautiously as he is now, fearing that another person would suffer unnecessary harm due to a moment's carelessness.

Rong Yan didn't say anything, but just tied the other end of the rope into a loop and put it around his waist.

Xu Yiyu did not object, but just gave Rong Yan a soothing smile, and then turned around without hesitation.

The length of the two ropes connected together is about ten meters. After removing the rope loops at both ends, the length is almost exactly half of the stone bridge.

Although her two companions, Xu, did not say anything, she knew that they would never let her step onto the stone bridge without any security measures.

When she is halfway there, the person on the other end of the rope will have to go up the bridge and endure the test of ice and fire with her.

Xu Yiyu glanced at the flames that continued to burn in the deep pit on the left, and suddenly had a subtle premonition in his heart.

Generally, flames require an oxidant or a combustion aid, and choking smoke is produced during combustion.

But the fire in this space is smokeless.

But the paradox is that ordinary smokeless fuels cannot be ignited by open flames, so the appearance of flames in this space is very interesting.

Originally, she thought that the owner of this underground palace was an ancient Chinese, but based on her current knowledge, she was not sure whether ancient China had such smokeless flammable materials that could not be ignited by open flames.

Then, the era in which the owner of the underground palace lived should not be as far away as she had previously imagined.

Thinking of this, Xu Yiyu stopped thinking further and stepped cautiously but lightly onto the stone bridge which was less than 30 centimeters wide.

As expected, the fire and frost that had briefly subsided when Black Cat crossed the bridge returned with a vengeance, as if to drag her into the deep pit.

She had already estimated the distance in her mind, and decisively took a few steps forward before the ice and fire could touch her.

It didn't stop until it reached the first black diamond-shaped tile on the bridge.

The first attack of the scorching flames and the extremely cold ice crystals missed, and it seemed that it took a while for them to realize that their target had disappeared, and they delayed for a long time before launching the second wave of attack.

Xu Yiyu felt the "care" of the heat wave and cold current on his side at the same time. Although it did not cause any actual harm to his body, it did not feel too good.

One side of my body felt like it was about to be dried up, while the other side felt like it was about to be frozen into an ice cube...

Although the two formed a delicate balance, both the left and right halves of the body were in a different kind of torture.

Lin Yi tightened the rope around Rong Yan's waist, his eyes fixed on Xu Yiyu who had walked a few meters away.

Xu Yiyu lowered his head and looked at the diamond-shaped floor tiles that were so close to him. He made up his mind and stepped on them before Binghuo's second wave of attack.

Just as she stepped on the diamond-shaped floor tiles, she seemed to hear the sound of a spring bouncing above her head.

The next moment, a gust of wind from an unknown source rushed down from above her head, and continued to pour into the bottom of the pit on both sides.

Xu Yiyu had already lowered her center of gravity in advance. The strong wind blowing on her head did not affect her balance and center of gravity. Instead, it allowed her to take the opportunity to move forward a distance and come to the second diamond-shaped brick.

After the strong wind poured into the bottom of the pit, it blew away the ice and fire that were about to attack. The fire and cold air were blown close to the side walls on both sides, and the distance between them and Xu Yiyu on the stone bridge became farther and farther.

Xu Yiyu breathed a sigh of relief, but did not look up.

But Lin Yirongyan, who was holding the other end of the rope on the stone platform, could see clearly everything that happened above her head.

——The two stone bricks above her head that were originally connected tightly together quickly opened to the sides the moment she stepped on the diamond-shaped floor tiles, revealing a square hole.

It was pitch black at the other end of the cave, but it seemed as if there was a large wind machine. Even though they were so far away, they could feel the strong wind that could almost blow a person's body crooked in an instant.

They both steadied their bodies and when they looked up again, they found that the hole above Xu Yiyu's head where the wind came out had disappeared, as if it had never existed.

On the narrow bridge, Xu Yiyu lowered his head and half-crouched, as if he was trying to stabilize his body, or as if he was observing something.

The first mechanism gave those crossing the bridge a chance to catch their breath, but Xu Yiyu did not dare to step on the second mechanism easily.

The auspicious gate is not auspicious, and the mind of the owner of the underground palace is difficult to guess. The situation after stepping on the second mechanism may be reversed.

She adjusted herself on the spot for a few seconds before standing up again.

Since she would be in danger of being cut if she stuck her head out, she would also be in danger if she hid her head, and she had to cross the bridge eventually, so she might as well be quick and decisive.

Without hesitation, she stepped hard on the second black diamond with her right foot.
