Chapter 167 Deserted Island Game 11
Duan Yizhou's palms instantly broke out into beads of sweat. He had very bad luck and had never experienced these thrilling projects that made his heart beat faster. He was afraid that he would lose himself if he was not careful.
Now, as he looked at the gradually steepening track ahead, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, and all kinds of terrible thoughts kept flashing through his mind. He would not fly out!
This was the first roller coaster ride in his life, and the tension and unfamiliarity overwhelmed him like a tide.
As the car speed gradually increased, his heartbeat also rose sharply. He closed his eyes involuntarily and clenched his fists tightly, as if this could help him grasp a sense of security.
The roller coaster shot up like an arrow, and he felt as if his body was being pulled by an invisible force, as if his soul was about to escape his body. Then, there was another breathtaking descent, and his heart instantly jumped into his throat. The wind whistled in his ears, and his mind was filled with only one thought: Why isn't this over yet? He felt like vomiting, what should he do?!
In stark contrast to Duan Yizhou, Lingjiu is a complete adrenaline junkie. To her, the more thrilling and adventurous the experience, the more she can feel the vitality and passion of life.
She fully enjoyed the ups and downs of the roller coaster, feeling as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest. Every rise and fall was like dancing with death, but she enjoyed it.
This track seemed endless. Duan Yizhou secretly groaned in his heart, feeling that he might really die here today.
However, with Lingjiu by his side, he couldn't afford to look too embarrassed in front of her and lose face. So, he suppressed his inner fear and physical discomfort, and never uttered a single cry.
Lingjiu turned her head and saw Duan Yizhou with his eyes closed and his face as pale as paper. She couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in her heart. She reached out and gently covered Duan Yizhou's clenched fist to ease his pain.
Feeling Lingjiu's touch, Duan Yizhou gradually felt that the discomfort and nausea were no longer as strong as before.
He slowly opened his eyes, staring at the track still speeding past him. A surge of determination surged within him: This was only the first event, how could he easily give up? He gritted his teeth, exerting all his strength to persevere. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the roller coaster slowly came to a stop.
Duan Yizhou dragged his legs, which felt as heavy as lead, off the roller coaster. At that moment, his legs trembled uncontrollably and he almost fell to his knees. He seemed to have lost the ability to control his legs.
Lingjiu quickly reached out to support him and asked with concern: "Are you feeling okay? Do you want to rest for a while? I can handle the next project alone."
Duan Yizhou took a few deep breaths and paused before responding, "It's okay, I can still do it. What's the next project?"
"It's a carousel, but this project requires you to complete the challenge on horseback. Do you know how to ride a horse?"
Duan Yizhou nodded slightly: "Yes, then let's go there now."
The two walked side by side slowly towards the carousel. When they arrived at the entrance, a sign stood prominently there, clearly explaining the rules of the game.
"Merry-go-round: This game requires participants to complete a challenge on horseback, specifically by relaying and completing 10 laps within 10 minutes."
After Duan Yizhou carefully read the rules of the game, he frowned slightly. "One lap per minute, that's quite a high speed requirement. Besides, this venue...it seems like this event is a bit difficult."
He thought to himself, there's no staff on this island, just the four of them. What if they ride too fast and something unexpected happens? He couldn't help but worry about Lingjiu's safety.
After a moment, he sighed softly, stared at Lingjiu and said earnestly: "Let's give up this clue."
"Why give up? Do you think we can't finish it?"
He answered seriously, "I'm worried you might get hurt."
Lingjiu raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a confident smile: "Don't worry, riding a horse is just a piece of cake for me, I will be fine."
"But……"
"Okay, no more buts. I promise you, if I notice any discomfort, I will stop immediately."
Duan Yizhou knew he couldn't persuade her, so he could only compromise helplessly and said, "Okay then."
Now that we have decided to continue the challenge, the next step is to discuss who will start the first leg.
Duan Yizhou said, "You start first!" No matter how Lingjiu runs, he will try his best to catch up with time.
Lingjiu selected a horse and skillfully mounted it. She rode to the starting line, and as the countdown began, Lingjiu galloped off like an arrow from a bow. Duan Yizhou's eyes were fixed on Lingjiu, who was extremely stable and her speed was as fast as lightning. In less than a minute, she had already completed a lap.
Duan Yizhou secretly marveled at her; she was truly a mysterious woman. He became increasingly curious and respectful of her.
When Lingjiu finished the fourth lap, Duan Yizhou was already firmly on his horse, waiting in the middle of the field. When Lingjiu finished the fifth lap, he set off without hesitation.
Lingjiu completed five laps in just over four minutes; her speed was truly astonishing. Duan Yizhou's performance was also very stable; after all, horseback riding was one of his strengths.
It was also the first time Lingjiu had witnessed Duan Yizhou's heroic appearance on horseback. He was no longer complaining or worried, as usual. He seemed to have been reborn, radiating confidence.
This is how he should be, so high-spirited and vigorous.
In eight minutes, Duan Yizhou maintained the same speed as Lingjiu with his superb riding skills and successfully completed his part of the relay.
After successfully completing the carousel challenge, Duan Yizhou jumped off the horse. Unable to contain his excitement, he ran towards Lingjiu with a smile on his face.
"We made it!"
Lingjiu looked at his joyful face, and the corners of her mouth curled up high: "You are amazing! Especially the acceleration in the second half, the timing was just right, which is not something that ordinary people can do."
Duan Yizhou's cheeks flushed slightly at the praise. He scratched his head, but looked at Lingjiu with an extremely determined look: "You are really amazing. To be honest, you are the first girl I have ever admired from the bottom of my heart."
At this moment, a sharp cry pierced the quiet air and went straight into their ears. They both subconsciously turned around at the same time, their eyes searching in the direction of the sound, only to see the towering bungee jumping machine not far away moving violently up and down.
Zhou Zhixia's screams echoed continuously on the empty island. Duan Yizhou looked at the bungee jumping machine and silently cheered for the two people on it.
