On top of the mountain.

After hearing the Monkey King introduce the rules of the competition in detail, both Xiao Liu and Luan Xiaoqing looked shocked.

The reason why the two of them were like this was that only a small part of them were shocked that Jiang Chen and the Monkey King had to run with such huge boulders on their backs, and the more part were shocked by the Monkey King's high intelligence.

It would not be difficult for a human to think of this, but the Monkey King is not a human after all, so it is surprising that he can think so thoughtfully.

at this time.

Not only were the two people who didn't know much about spirits surprised, but Jiang Chen, who often dealt with spirits, was also stunned.

He knew very well that the spirits on the ground level all had spiritual intelligence that was not weaker than that of humans, but he did not expect that the monkey king's spiritual intelligence was so high that he knew how to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses.

At first glance, the competition proposed by the Monkey King is just a speed competition, but when you think about it carefully, it is not the case.

Lifting boulders is a competition of strength; the hillsides here are covered with dense forests, and they are not allowed to touch trees on the way down. This is a test of their flexibility.

Whether it is strength or flexibility, these are the strengths of the Monkey King.

Moreover, in order to prevent Jiang Chen from having other means, the Monkey King even made a request that the boulder should not be allowed to fall.

It can be said that the Monkey King has thought everything through, and his careful thinking is much better than that of many humans.

Just when Jiang Chen was deep in thought, the Monkey King spoke again.

"How are you thinking? Do you still want to compete?"

The Monkey King's voice awoke all three people present from their wild thoughts. After Xiao Liu and Luan Xiaoqing came to their senses, they quickly looked at Jiang Chen.

They have all seen how strong the Monkey King is; but they have no idea whether Jiang Chen can lift such a huge boulder.

Under the gaze of several eyes, Jiang Chen nodded slowly and replied.

"Compare, why not compare?"

"Just follow what you just said."

Jiang Chen also knew that since the Monkey King proposed the content of this competition, he must be fully confident of winning, and there was nothing excessive in it, so he could not refuse without reason.

After hearing Jiang Chen's answer, the Monkey King immediately felt happy, but he did not urge Jiang Chen anymore, and just felt proud secretly on the sidelines.

but.

It didn't say anything, which doesn't mean that others didn't speak either. Xiao Liu gently pulled Jiang Chen's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Jiang Chen, why did you agree so easily?"

"Can you really lift such a big stone?"

Jiang Chen knew that Xiao Liu was only worried about him and did not really look down on him, so he chuckled and replied.

"I'm not a superman, so naturally I can't lift such a big stone..."

Before Jiang Chen could finish speaking, Xiao Liu suddenly exclaimed.

"What? You really can't lift it?"

After exclaiming, when he saw the Monkey King turning his head and looking towards him, Xiao Liu suddenly came back to his senses and quickly lowered his voice and said.

"Brother Jiang Chen, are you really unable to lift it? Then why do you still agree to it?"

"You can at least ask for the stones to be replaced with smaller ones. That way there is still some possibility of victory. If you can't lift it now, wouldn't you just give in?"

For many reasons, Xiao Liu was really worried about Jiang Chen at this moment, and his tone was full of anxiety and worry.

However, he made a mistake.

He thought that if he spoke in a low voice, the Monkey King would not hear him; but little did he know that with the Monkey King's strength, it would be easy to hear his whispered words.

Of course, Jiang Chen must have known this, but he did not tell Xiao Liu.

Jiang Chen waved his hand towards Xiao Liu, telling him not to be anxious, and then he spoke.

"You should listen to what I have to say!"

"I really can't lift such a big boulder with my physical strength alone, but I have other ways to lift it."

After the words fell, Jiang Chen saw Xiao Liu was about to speak again and immediately spoke first.

"It's not that I didn't want to say it just now, it's just that you interrupted me suddenly and didn't give me a chance to continue."

Xiao Liu: "............."

Xiao Liu was speechless for a while, but thinking about it carefully, Jiang Chen seemed to have been interrupted by himself before he could finish speaking.

Seeing that Xiao Liu no longer had any doubts, Jiang Chen calmly took out a stack of talismans from his body and offered them to him.

As Jiang Chen himself said just now, although his body is stronger than ordinary people in all aspects after practicing cultivation, he has not broken away from the category of human beings after all, and he cannot lift a thousand kilograms of boulders at will.

but.

Jiang Chen also has many ways to lift stones. For example, the stone man he summoned with a talisman was no weaker than the Monkey King in terms of strength.

It's just that he didn't plan to summon the stone man this time. After all, the stone man moves slowly and clumsily, which is not suitable for this kind of speed competition. This time he wants to use another puppet technique.

Under the gaze of several curious eyes, the stack of talismans offered by Jiang Chen suddenly spread out in mid-air, and then quickly intertwined in a burst of golden light.

Xiao Liu and Luan Xiaoqing were like looking at a wooden comb, watching the talismans slowly splicing together in the air, and finally formed a life-size paper man surrounded by golden light.

Of course, this was not what surprised the two of them the most. The scene that happened next made them both widen their eyes in surprise.

Under the gaze of the two people, the paper man with golden light all around stretched out his hand and said hello to them, and then "grin" at them.

"This...this...this..."

Xiao Liu's eyes widened, and he pointed at the paper man who kept making faces at the two of them. He kept saying "this" for a long time without giving any explanation.

After a few breaths, Luan Xiaoqing was the first to react. He quickly turned to look at Jiang Chen. When Xiao Liu saw this, he also looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

When the two of them saw the same expression on Jiang Chen's face as the paper man, they suddenly realized that this paper man was controlled by Jiang Chen.

Seeing this, the two of them instantly understood that Jiang Chen was planning to use this paper man instead of him to carry the boulder to participate in the competition.

only.

Can such a paper figure, which looks like it can be broken with a poke, really be able to lift a boulder weighing over a thousand kilograms?

As if to answer Xiao Liu's doubts, the golden paper man briefly moved his hands and feet, and then walked to a huge stone.

The next moment.

The paper man bent down, wrapped his arms around the boulder, and easily lifted the boulder, which was as tall as a person.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Liu and Luan Xiaoqing were no longer surprised. The many bizarre encounters in the past two days had made them a little numb.
