Xie Huaiye strode over to where Yan Ning's team was standing.

When Yan Ning saw Xie Huaiye coming over, she subconsciously took a small step to the side to make room.

As soon as she stood up, Sun Wuji, who was standing next to her, came over with a grin.

He deliberately nudged Yan Ning with his shoulder, pushing her back so she almost bumped into Xie Huaiye.

Yan Ning stumbled, but immediately turned around and glared fiercely at Sun Wuji after regaining her balance:

Are you crazy?

Sun Wuji completely ignored Yan Ning's death stare, instead smiling broadly and waving enthusiastically at Xie Huaiye:

"Thank you, handsome guy, we're all looking forward to seeing you show your skills this time."

"I wouldn't call it a grand display of skill, but I will do my best."

Xie Huaiye smiled politely, glancing at Yan Ning beside him out of the corner of his eye.

Sun Wuji's action of pushing Yan Ning toward Xie Huaiye did not escape the live broadcast camera.

The live chat exploded instantly:

【Ahhh! Sun Wuji, you deliberately bumped Yan Ning into Xie Huaiye, didn't you?! kswl!】

Holy crap! This extreme escape scene has turned into a dating reality show?!

[The handsome men and beautiful women are so eye-catching! I'm starting to forget what show this is!]

[Let's start recording already! I can't wait to see the sparks fly between Yan Ning and Xie Huaiye!!]

At this moment, Zhou Tian stepped forward with a megaphone, smiling broadly, successfully drawing everyone's attention.

"Ahem, quiet down! Listen up, adventurers! Our destination for this adventure is—"

He deliberately dragged out his words, building up anticipation, before finally speaking:

"The Valley of No Man!"

Upon hearing this name, the expressions of several guests at the scene changed.

Qi Minghao shrank his neck, feeling a chill on the back of his neck.

"That's right, it's that primeval forest known as the 'death's holy land'! It's sparsely populated, not even a bird would poop there—oh wait, birds do poop there, but it's easy for people to get in, but getting out..."

Zhou Tian deliberately spoke in a sinister tone, and seeing everyone's tense expressions, he nodded in satisfaction before announcing the rules:

"The mission is simple: two teams compete to see who can get all their members to the designated Fountain of Life coordinates in the valley first! The first team to arrive advances! And for those who arrive late..."

He chuckled, "Sorry, one person is eliminated!"

"What?!"

Qi Minghao was the first to exclaim, "Director! You're going all in? That's a deserted valley! Even professionals would be skinned alive if they went in!"

He recalled the terrible experience of being tricked by the production team in the previous episode, and felt lingering fear.

Su Muyao frowned, her heart pounding.

Sun Wuji, however, remained grinning and nudged Yan Ning beside him with his elbow:

"My buddy did his homework beforehand. There are no tigers or lions in these mountains, just some cute little creatures at most."

"For example, a little snake that sneaks into your tent and snuggles up to you while you're sleeping, or a grumpy wild boar that chases after you and nudges you."

"And there are also countless poisonous insects that can make your skin swell for three days after one bite! Just make sure to zip up the tent tightly at night!"

Yan Ning: "..."

The more considerate he spoke, the darker Yan Ning's face grew.

"Sun Wuji!"

Su Muyao couldn't stand it anymore, rolled her eyes, and said, trying to appear calm:

"Stop trying to scare us! Do you think we're easily frightened? Insects? Wild boars? Ha!"

Sun Wuji quickly waved his hand, "No! I was just giving you a friendly reminder, hehe."

The production team's bus arrived, and although everyone complained a bit, they still obediently boarded the bus.

The bus bumped along for several hours, finally delivering a group of apprehensive adventurers to the edge of the deserted valley.

As soon as I got out of the car, a unique scent of a primeval forest hit me, a mixture of rotting leaves and damp earth, so stuffy it was hard to breathe.

The towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, making the forest dimly lit and eerily quiet.

Only occasionally would an unknown bird utter a call or two, which sent chills down one's spine.

Zhou Tian and his staff quickly got into the car, leaving behind three red-glowing drones buzzing overhead.

"We'll be watching you from the observation point not far away! Good luck!"

Zhou Tian waved from the car window, smiling broadly, and then the car sped away.

"Damn it! Here we go again! Running faster than a rabbit!"

As Qi Minghao watched the taillights disappear, he couldn't help but curse.

Although I knew the production team was always ruthless, being dumped in such a horrible place still gave me the creeps.

"Damn it, the second episode is already at hell difficulty! The production team really doesn't treat us like human beings!"

Qi Minghao looked at the bottomless old forest in front of him and felt his calves cramp up. The shadow of the first phase of the amusement park was attacking him relentlessly.

Sun Wuji patted him on the shoulder, trying to lighten the mood:

"Old Qi, relax! Those 'cute' girls I mentioned earlier are all probability events! You're unlikely to run into them!"

"Shall we treat this as a large-scale immersive hiking experience?"

"Sun Wuji, is your mouth on fire? You just keep talking."

Yan Ning glanced at Sun Wuji with some dissatisfaction. She hadn't forgotten how he had pushed her next to Xie Huaiye in front of the whole nation!

So, she pretended to accidentally stomp hard on Sun Wuji's foot.

"Awooo—!"

Caught off guard, Sun Wuji jumped up and down, clutching his foot, and shouted:

"Su Yanning! You've murdered your teammate! Do you know how much that kick hurt?"

"Just slipped." Yan Ning snorted and turned her head away.

"The ground is slippery after the rain, be careful."

Xie Huaiye lowered his eyes to look at Yan Ning, a handsome smile curving his lips, and said softly.

The drone faithfully recorded everything, and the live chat exploded with comments again:

[Well done! Yan Ning did a great job! This is how you deal with that bastard!]

[Haha, only Yan Ning can handle Sun Wuji, that's hilarious!]

[Xie Shao: Watching the whole thing unfold.jpg The big boss is so calm.]

Although Xie Shao's words were very brief, they sounded rather indulgent!

[The atmosphere in the deserted valley is so scary... but why am I both scared and totally hooked on the sweet moments?]

Are three drones enough? I feel like the signal might drop! The production team is so unfair!

Where are you all staying tonight? Are you all not going to sleep in the wild? It feels so dangerous!

At that moment, one of the drones suddenly made a "sizzling" sound.

The red light flashed a few times, and then it suddenly swooped down a short distance.

"What's wrong with the drone?!"

The guests below gasped in surprise before the plane wobbled and regained its balance.

"Holy crap! What's going on?" Qi Minghao was so startled he almost jumped up.

"See? See? Even the machines can't stand this awful place! I'm impressed by this production team!"

Su Muyao's voice trembled slightly; the composure she had been forcing was about to crumble.

An unknown forest, unreliable equipment, teammates vying for dominance while undercurrents surge...

The real extreme escape has only just begun.

Everyone's heart was in their throat as they stared at the deep, terrifying entrance, no one knowing what awaited them inside.

Is it a deadly danger, or... an unexpected surprise?
