Lu An'an was startled by the heart-wrenching scream.

[Oh my god, did I step on an electric shock?]

She turned around and saw a huge sausage hanging on the tree.

Upon closer inspection, it wasn't sausage, but Gu Shichuan.

Lu An'an couldn't help but laugh, and everyone else couldn't help but chuckle as well.

Lu Yixuan didn't see the expressions of the others, but upon hearing Lu An'an's laughter, he looked at her with disgust, as if he had caught her red-handed, and said in a harsh tone, "Shi Chuan accidentally got stuck in a tree, and you can still laugh?"

Lu An'an's eyes flickered with confusion, "Did I hang him on the tree?"

"No, but..."

"It's not that I can't laugh, but will my laughter delay saving him?"

Gu Tingyan looked at Lu Yixuan with a forced smile and said, "Lu Yixuan, what you're saying makes us seem rather inhuman. We all laughed just now, especially my own brother." He emphasized the last three words.

[Help, I'm embarrassing people again.]

[Lu Yixuan's words were quite thoughtless.]

[Lu An'an is just being unreasonable; her teammates are hanging from trees, and she's still laughing the loudest.]

[Yes, yes, it's like God showering wisdom upon humanity, and you're the one holding the umbrella.]

Lu Yixuan blushed crimson, stammering, "I...I didn't mean that, I..."

Shen Jiajia impatiently interrupted Lu Yixuan: "Alright, hurry up and put Gu Shichuan down first."

Lu An'an bent down, picked up a small pebble with her fingertips, and kindly reminded her, "I suggest it's best not to do it now."

Lu Rongyu immediately retorted, her eyes full of disapproval, "Sister, it must be so uncomfortable for Shi Chuan to hang there. How can you suggest letting him hang there again?"

[Is that what I meant? Lu Rongyu is quite good at misinterpreting things.]

He Tingyu also sneered, "Lu An'an, do you have any sympathy?"

[I always knew Lu An'an was a bad person; she only cares about herself.]

[It's best not to, otherwise people will make sarcastic remarks.]

[I'm waiting for the haters to be proven wrong.]

Gu Tingyan ignored Lu Rongyu and the other girl, and asked Lu An'an curiously, "Sister, why can't we release it now?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Lu An'an's eyes.

[Huh? The male lead didn't blindly attack me like Lu Rongyu did?]

Lu An'an looked away and explained, "Because I'll die."

Upon hearing this, He Tingyu's lips curled into a mocking smile, her voice laced with a sharp edge: "Lu An'an, what kind of horror story are you telling? You'll die? Why don't you say it'll explode?"

Qin Yin couldn't hide the disdain in her eyes either, "Sister An'an, you can't say things like that carelessly, it's very unlucky."

Lu An'an seemed oblivious to their mockery. She took out a delicate little slingshot from her pocket, loaded it with pebbles, aimed at the tree where Gu Shichuan was hanging, and suddenly exerted force. The pebble accurately struck deep into the tree canopy. After a slight commotion, the corpse of a flower snake, as thick as an infant's arm, slowly fell from the dense foliage along with a few fallen leaves.

This scene shocked everyone present; there were poisonous snakes in the tree?!

Lu An'an walked slowly to the tree, gently picked up the lifeless venomous snake with her fingertips, turned to face the crowd, looked at Lu Rongyu and Qin Yin, and smiled slightly: "This is the third most venomous snake on the list. One bite and you'll die in less than a minute. Am I wrong to say it will kill you?"

All around was silent; the guests remained completely still.

Gu Tingyan snapped out of his shock and quickly walked over to put Gu Shichuan down.

Gu Shichuan, feeling a bit breathless from being hung upside down, looked at Lu An'an and the snake in her hand with lingering fear and said thank you, "An'an, thank you, you're so amazing."

Lu An'an gently shook her head. "It's nothing."

[I knew Lu An'an was no good the moment I saw her~ Doesn't your face hurt?]

[Speak up, you idiot!]

[Holy crap, how did Lu An'an do that? That's amazing!]

[Don't call me "Little Sister An'an"! Call me "Sister An"!]

"Sister~ How can you be so heartless~"

"An'an, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Lu Yanli mimicked Lu Rongyu and Qin Yin in a sarcastic tone, saying, "Lu Rongyu, Miss Qin, if I were you, I wouldn't speak before knowing the situation, lest I be embarrassed and lose face."

Lu Rong's face flushed red as she spoke. That damned Lu An'an, couldn't she have just said there were snakes there first? And is Lu Yanli deaf?! She wasn't the one who said he had no compassion! Why is she cursing her like that!

Qin Yin was also choked, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she swallowed back the words she was about to say.

Seeing that tensions were rising again, Shen Yi, ever the good Samaritan, came to the rescue, saying, "Shi Chuan has come down too, let's hurry up and keep going."

[Brother Yan is practically my mouth double!]

[Serves them right, letting them bully my sister!]

[Shen Yi: This is so tough for me! I'm already a qualified savior!]

Three hours later, Lu Rongyu was still leading the guests around, and He Beichen couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Rongyu, haven't you found it yet?"

Lu Rongyu was also a little anxious, "The direction is right, we should be out soon, everyone hang in there a little longer."

Lu An'an, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but stop and ask, "Where are we going now?"

Lu Rongyu scoffed inwardly, but maintained a gentle demeanor on her face. "Sister, we're looking for our way to the city center, haven't you forgotten?"

He Tingyu stood next to Lu Rongyu, her tone impatient: "Lu An'an, didn't you hear what the director just said? We only have twelve hours to go to the central area. Don't waste everyone's time by yourself."
