Ten Days End

Qiao Jiajin led his team around for a long time before finally finding the second Earth-level zodiac.

The three men and three women in the team didn't know what Qiao Jiajin was worried about, but considering that all the people sent out by "Cat" before had not defeated him, they could only follow him unconditionally and wander around the streets.

Until they saw the Earth Horse from a distance.

The Earth Horse looked like a woman, with a pure white horse head, and the white mane was tilted down on her head like long hair.

She was wearing a pure white suit with a burgundy shirt inside, and was standing in front of an indoor basketball court waiting for everyone.

"Hello."

Seeing someone coming, the Earth Horse started to greet from a distance.

Qiao Jiajin scratched his head after seeing it and walked up slowly.

"Ma... Ma..." Qiao Jiajin was stunned for a long time before he uttered three words uncertainly, "Sister Ma?"

"What sister..." The Earth Horse frowned and looked at Qiao Jiajin, "Too rude, you should at least call me "Earth Horse". ”

“Okay, okay…” Qiao Jiajin nodded, “Sister Di.”

“How rude!” Di Ma shouted, “How can there be such a rude person as you? !”

“Hey?” Qiao Jiajin felt a little wronged, “How am I rude? Didn’t you ask me to call you Ms. Di?”

“Stop talking nonsense.” Di Ma looked a little angry, and her elegant temperament just now disappeared in one or two sentences, “Do you want to play? !”

“Uh…” Qiao Jiajin was stunned, “Play, play… But can you tell me what this game is first?”

“Death Race.” Di Ma said impatiently, “Five “Dao” for each person, and ten for each person who survives, hurry up.”

Qiao Jiajin looked back at the people behind him with some embarrassment, and asked in a low voice: “Did I make her angry? Is the zodiac sign usually named “Di” or “Ma”? ”

“I don’t think it’s about the surname…” Bai Jiu also smiled, covering his mouth, “The problem lies in the sister.” ”

“Sister?” Qiao Jiajin was a little confused, “This woman is almost two meters tall, shouldn’t I call her sister?”

“You are also very strong.” Bai Jiu reached out and knocked on Qiao Jiajin’s arm, “You look thin, but you are so strong.”

“Hey… don’t mention it…” Qiao Jiajin shook his head, “Do we have enough Dao? There are seven people, five for each person… it adds up to a lot.”

“Don’t worry.” Bai Jiu nodded, took out dozens of Dao from the small schoolbag behind him, counted them with his not-so-broad palm, and then stood up and handed them to Di Ma, “Sister, don’t be angry, the Dao is for you.”

“Be good.” Di Ma reached out and touched Bai Jiu’s head, then collected all the Dao.

Qiao Jiajin was even more confused after seeing this: "I still don't understand... How come it's okay if you call me sister?"

"Brother Qiao, don't ask anymore." Bai Jiu and Yun Shijiu smiled bitterly, let's go in quickly.

Di Ma put away all his "Tao", nodded to a few people, turned around and opened the door behind him.

Everyone felt a cool breeze blowing on their faces, as if the air conditioner was turned on at a very low temperature in the house.

"If you have thick clothes, remember to wear more. It will be very uncomfortable if you catch a cold." Di Ma seemed to have recovered and said in a soft voice, "Please come this way."

Everyone took a deep breath outside the door, and then walked slowly into the basketball hall against the cold air.

Fortunately, the construction of basketball courts is generally not complicated, and everyone can see the entire structure here at a glance.

It is called a "basketball court", but it looks like a small square that has been completely transformed. The double-sided baskets have been removed, and now only a flat floor is left.

If you look closely at the floors, they seem to have been tampered with. There is a thick layer of ice on them. It seems that it is not a basketball court but an ice rink.

In the center of the field, many broken glass with pointed ends facing upwards are neatly arranged in two rows, faintly drawing a straight track in the middle of the ice.

Outside the track, many half-person-high wooden boxes stand on both sides, each with a small round hole on it. I don’t know what they are used for.

At the end of the track, something that looks like the size of a motorcycle is covered by a dark curtain.

"Everyone, my game is called "Wooden Oxen and Flowing Horses."

"Wooden Flowing Horses?" Qiao Jia paused.

"Wooden Oxen and Flowing Horses."

"Wood, wooden oxen and oxen and horses?"

"Wood..." Di Ma was about to explain, but suddenly turned his head away angrily, "Forget it if you don't understand, why are you making trouble here? I guess it's useless for a rough person like you to understand."

"This..." Qiao JiaJin only felt that the elder sister in front of him seemed to be still very angry, but he didn't know what his problem was.

"Let me explain the rules to you, everyone, please listen carefully." Di Ma slowly walked around the ice and came to the end of the straight track. "My game rules are very simple... All seven of you must go back and forth on the track within fifteen minutes to win the game."

"One round trip?" Qiao Jiajin looked at the track made of thick ice and swallowed his saliva. "Then will you give us ice skates?"

"Ice skates...?" Di Ma smiled slightly, and everyone realized that she seemed to have smeared lipstick on her dark lips, which looked a little weird. "Don't think about ice skates, but I will give you another thing. This thing is much more powerful than Western ice skates."

"What...?" Qiao Jiajin raised his feet and looked at his old leather shoes. He felt that this matter was a bit difficult to handle.

Di Ma paused, and then stretched out his hand to pull open the curtain on the side, revealing the wooden structure that had been covered underneath. It was a very strange cart.

This cart looks no different from an ordinary cart, but there is a chair on the top of the cart board. The chair looks integrated with the cart, as if it was fixed with a mortise and tenon structure when it was made.

Qiao Jiajin looked at the wheel of the cart again. This look was not a big deal, but it gave him a shock.

Although the wheel is in the middle of the cart like other carts, it is not an ordinary wheel, but a wooden sphere that is carved very smoothly.

"Oh my god..." Qiao Jiajin cursed inwardly, "Ms. Di, are you kidding? What if we push this cart with a ball at the bottom on the ice?"

"Yes." Di Ma said, "Not only do you have to walk on the ice, but you also have to come back before the time is up, otherwise everyone will die."

"Do you think I've never pushed a cart before?" Qiao Jiajin felt that this game was a bit outrageous, "Even ordinary wheels may not be able to move smoothly on this kind of ice, let alone a ball..."

"That's why it needs people to push it." Di Ma said, "It sounds reasonable, right?"
