Relying on Physics to Exorcise Ghosts, I Became Famous on a Science Popularization Variety Show

Ji Qian thought she was having a bad day. In five years in the entertainment industry, she was still a barely known, faded starlet, with a pile of weird black gossip accusations. Recently, people e...

Chapter 153 Encountering Danger in the Jungle

"I'd heard that Britain has a lot of rainy weather, but I didn't expect it to be torrential every time!"

Ying Xu stood at the spot closest to the cave entrance, looking at the sky and sighing, water still dripping from the hair on his cheeks.

"Yingxu, why don't you go inside and warm yourself by the fire? You might catch a cold."

Han Mengyao, who had just dried her clothes halfway through the fire, came to the cave entrance and called Ying Xu, who was looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, inside.

"Hey, where's Sister Qian?"

Ying Xu thought it would be Ji Qian who would call her back, since Ji Qian had run the fastest and had hardly gotten wet.

"You'll see her soon."

Han Mengyao didn't want to tell Ying Xu, but she simply couldn't find the right words to describe the scene.

Although Ying Xu was full of doubts, he did not ask any questions. He simply followed behind Han Mengyao and continued to walk into the cave.

"Hey, don't move! It'll only be a little while!"

"No! Ji Qian, let me go, I'll die! I'll really die!!!"

From afar, Ying Xu could hear Ji Qian and Xu Qi arguing. He turned his head to look at Han Mengyao, who was clearly in the know, and only received a helpless look.

Inside the cave, Ji Qian was pulling on Xu Qi's arm, trying to stuff him into a huge bear skin.

Xu Qi gripped the stone wall tightly with both hands. His clothes were torn open by Ji Qian's strong pull, revealing his snow-white shoulders and slender collarbones.

Xu Qi's eyes glistened with tears, giving him a somewhat tearful appearance.

[CP fans are ecstatic!]

Even Xu Qiyan's fans took a small bite.

My sister Qian deserves to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!

I solemnly swear that I will never forgive gambling and drugs in this lifetime.

You didn't mention Huang at all.

I, Huang, am sworn enemies of gambling and drugs!

[I love watching it, I strongly suggest adding more!]

Once again, I realize I was only attracted to Xu Qi's beauty.

[Ji Qian, you're no good! You haven't even managed to strip him naked after all this time (just kidding)]

Speaking of which... what are those two doing?

Ji Qian didn't share the romantic thoughts of those commenting on the live stream; she didn't even understand why Xu Qi was so resistant.

"You're almost hypothermic; you'll definitely catch a cold like this. It's warm inside, come on in!"

As he spoke, Ji Qian increased the strength of his men once again.

If Ji Qian hadn't been worried about Xu Qi getting hurt during the struggle, she would have successfully stuffed him in long ago; there would have been no need for such a struggle.

Xu Qi understood Ji Qian's meaning perfectly well, but he just couldn't get over it in his heart, especially after he saw Ji Qian dismantle the bear with his own eyes.

This bear was really unlucky. It was just howling twice as usual after waking up, but Ji Qian, who was looking for a hiding place, heard it and lost her life.

In truth, it was the original owner of this cave.

Unfortunately, they encountered a ruthless monster like Ji Qian. Not only did they not get any meat, but they were also disemboweled because of the attack. Now, their remaining fur will be used to warm their bodies.

Count Lanruer, who had just witnessed Ji Qian disembowel a three-meter-tall bear, was now squatting quietly in a corner, showing no trace of his initial arrogance.

Although the assistant director found it hard to watch, he didn't dare to say anything to stop them.

Even now, when he closes his eyes, the horrifying image of Ji Qian dissecting a bear carcass with her face covered in blood still flashes through his mind.

The only thing the assistant director regretted was that, due to the suddenness of the incident, they were unable to record the thrilling scene of Ji Qianyong fighting the bear, otherwise it would have definitely boosted the ratings to new heights.

After finally managing to stuff Xu Qi into the bear skin, Ji Qian breathed a sigh of relief. Ignoring Xu Qi's teary eyes from the stench of blood, she turned to look at Han Mengyao:

"How are you, Sister Meng? Has the rain lessened?"

After receiving a negative answer, Ji Qian glanced at the time on her phone and solemnly announced to everyone:

"It's getting dark, it seems we need to prepare for a long battle."

"Can't we have Director Liu and the others come pick us up?"

Before Ji Qian could even speak in response to Mi Yesi's question, the assistant director said somewhat awkwardly:

"The terrain here is quite complex, and the director and his team couldn't pinpoint the exact location, so they couldn't carry out a rescue operation."

Upon hearing this, Han Mengyao's expression also turned grim. She hesitated before speaking, pointing out their biggest predicament:

"But we've already gone hungry during the day. If this continues, we'll all faint from hunger before the rain even stops."

It is well known that celebrities do not eat too much in order to maintain their figure.

So apart from Ji Qian, the others hadn't eaten much in the morning, and lunch was rushed because of the search.

Coupled with the day's travel and exhaustion, their energy was completely depleted, and they were barely holding on by sheer willpower.

Ji Qian was prepared for this; she pointed to the still steaming red chunks of meat in the corner:

"Isn't there food right here? This bear is so big, if we don't have to worry about preservation, it's enough to feed us for several days."

Everyone turned to look at the fresh flesh piled in the corner, which seemed to still be throbbing, and suddenly understood Xu Qi's feelings just now.

Xu Qi, the primary victim, had already fainted from the stench of the bear skin and was unlikely to wake up anytime soon.

Is the bear... the bear I imagined?

[Suddenly, I realized that Xu Qi seems to be wearing a bearskin.]

[No way, where did this bear come from?!]

This must have been a hunting ground for nobles before, so it's not surprising to see bears here.

[No, the problem is, how can there be such a freshly dead bear? Look, the flesh is still bleeding!]

I have a bold guess, but I'm not sure if I should say it.

Could it have been that woman who did it?

No way... judging by its size, that's a fully grown bear!

I know Sister Qian is fierce, but she shouldn't be fierce enough to be this fierce, right?

[Impossible, absolutely impossible! Let alone Ji Qian, even ten strong men couldn't kill a bear without getting hurt.]

【What else could it be? Where would you find such a fresh bear carcass in the middle of nowhere?】

[I think it's possible; our Sister Qian has a gun!]

Killing a bear with a pistol? You must be joking.

It's still better than hand-to-hand combat, right?

[Stop arguing, stop arguing, look, Ji Qian has started grilling the meat.]

[No way, she's really planning to eat it?]

The bear meat doesn't taste very good, and because it wasn't processed beforehand, it even has a strong fishy and gamey smell.

Thanks to the seasoning salt that Han Mengyao carried with her, the group was able to barely swallow the bear meat, thus avoiding the tragic fate of being wiped out at the start.
