Chapter 167

Chu Huaiqin and his team's successful escape was met with both joy and displeasure. Inside the command room, Anthony was delighted. The unexpected appearance of Big Bear had left him feeling both amused and annoyed. But Big Bear's presence also gave Anthony a terrifying thought. The most displeased was obviously Austin. He had thought his bet with Director Li was secure, but Big Bear's unexpected appearance had thrown him off balance. His expression was momentarily uncontrollable, and a terrifying sense of depression emanated from his entire body.

At this time, several teams walking in front of the rolling team finally welcomed a different scenery in the cold wind. Many people cried. They had never felt that this scene was so beautiful.

The next day, Chu Huaiqin was still asleep when he heard the little monk's voice outside, calling out, "Big Bear, Big Bear!" Chu Huaiqin felt groggy and thought he was dreaming. It was only when Xia Entang squatted beside him and called out that he regained consciousness.

"You're still running a fever," Xia En placed his hand on Chu Huaiqin's forehead, his brow furrowed. "Little monk, little monk."

Xia En called the little monk who was looking for Big Bear over and told him to take good care of Chu Huaiqin while he went to call a doctor.

Lin Zhinan was packing up his things. When he heard Xia Envoy calling for a doctor, he hurried over and saw Chu Huaiqin in the tent with a frown on his face and flushed cheeks. He seemed to be disturbed by the noise outside. He opened his eyes, which were full of bloodshot.

The doctor came quickly and after examination said it was a wind-heat cold. He gave me some medicine and the patient soon recovered.

After Chu Huaiqin took the medicine, he asked Xia En to bring two blankets and cover him with them, and then he fell into a deep sleep again.

Live broadcast room:

"What kind of treatment is this, Team Roll?"

"Don't ask, if you ask, it's Chinese medicine."

"This is called sweating. Oh my god, it's a basic skill! Don't you know anything about it?"

"Haha, come to think of it, some ancient recipes are still useful. Our ancestors' things are not all useless."

Foreign audiences expressed skepticism.

An hour later, when Chu Huaiqin walked out of the tent in sweat, although his whole body was wet and his face was a little pale, he looked much better. Foreign audiences were stunned and said that he had learned a new skill.

"Are all Chinese people gods?"

"I can't help it, they are always so magical."

At 6:30, we packed up our things, drank some water and set off. Unfortunately, the bear was not used to being around humans and left in the middle of the night.

Lin Zhinan's leg, still swollen, was wrapped in the young monk's bag. Chu Huaiqin wanted to carry the backpack himself, but Xia Entang took it over. After a night's rest, he was now full of energy again. The four of them headed towards their destination.

The temperature dropped significantly today, and even after the sun came out, it was only 33 degrees Celsius, which meant they were quickly leaving the Huoyan Mountain. This three-day trip to the Huoyan Mountain would leave a lasting impression in their lives.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the four people began to climb over the sand dune. The sand dune was very large, but they were in a very good mood because they knew that after climbing over the sand dune, they would truly walk out of the Flaming Mountain.

The people in the live broadcast room also laughed at the looks of the people:

"Haha, they'll be terrified after we get over the dunes."

"After their lust is reborn, they will be delighted to see such an incredible sight!"

"I can't wait to see their expressions."

They worked so hard before that the live broadcast room also wanted them to rest for two days.

"Brother, there are voices." Lin Zhinan looked at Chu Huaiqin with his eyes shining. This meant that the team in front had stopped, which also meant there was a water source here.

"I hear the sound of water." The little monk listened attentively, excitement welling up on his face, and said to Chu Huaiqin: "Brother, I'll go and take a look."

After saying that, the man rushed out.

After a while, the little monk reached the edge of the sand dune. He paced down the dune in disbelief, then turned back and waved to Chu Huaiqin, "Brother, brother, water."

After shouting loudly, the little monk rushed down with his bag on his back, and soon disappeared from sight.

Seeing that Lin Zhinan also wanted to run away, Chu Huaiqin smiled and said, "Go!"

"Yeah!" Lin Zhinan responded and ran away quickly.

After a while, Lin Zhinan turned around and jumped up and down at Chu Huaiqin and the others, then rushed down as well. Only Chu Huaiqin and Xia En were left. Although Chu Huaiqin's fever had subsided, he wasn't completely well yet, and his bones were still sore. Xia En could only walk slowly with him.

"Guess what they saw?" Chu Huaiqin laughed.

"Lake." Xia En felt that only this could make them so excited.

"Hmm, I guess it's an oasis. We should be entering the Egyptian border," Chu Huaiqin said. Beyond the lake on the Sudanese border is the Flaming Mountain, and then to the oasis on the Egyptian border. Chu Huaiqin had looked up this section before, but when he saw the existence of the Flaming Mountain, he thought it was unlikely that the production team would arrange the route through this section. It seems he underestimated the production team.

Xia En didn't say anything. He put his hands on his hips, let Chu Huaiqin hold his arm and continued walking, listening carefully.

"Do you know what this oasis has in abundance?" Chu Huaiqin smiled.

"What?" Xia En asked curiously.

"Lion." After Chu Huaiqin finished speaking, he stopped and looked to the front right.

Xia En suddenly had a bad feeling. He followed his gaze and his heart skipped a beat. It really was a lion. He had no idea when it had arrived, but it had stopped about twenty meters away, its gaze fixed on Chu Huaiqin and the others.

"Come on up quickly." Xia En instinctively pulled Chu Huaiqin behind him, blocking him in front of him. He threw his backpack behind him, bent down slightly, and urged Chu Huaiqin to lie on his back.

"Can you outrun him?" Chu Huaiqin asked, putting his hand on Xia En's shoulder.

"I can definitely run faster than you." Xia En mercilessly broke Chu Huaiqin's fantasy of running on his own.

"Where to run?" Chu Huaiqin felt that before running, he had to confirm the route first.

"It is better for my fellow Taoist to die than for me to die." Xia En said mercilessly.

Very good, the Chinese language is indeed profound and extensive.

"Do you think we can reach the oasis if we retreat slowly?" Chu Huaiqin assessed their distance from the oasis. They hadn't even reached the edge of the dune yet, and they had no idea what lay beyond it. It was quite risky.

"It's hard to say." Xia En's eyes never left the lion.

Chu Huaiqin nodded. "Great, it's part of the gamble." He didn't dwell on it any longer. The lion was already impatient and was about to come over. Chu Huaiqin quickly climbed onto Xia En's back, twisted his body slightly, and placed his hand on his wrist, ready to stimulate him at any moment. But then he remembered that he seemed to have only one left.

“Ouch!”

There was no time to think, the lion had already moved. Xia En grabbed Chu Huaiqin's legs and ran away. The lion, which had been staring at the two of them, pounced on them in an instant, with a speed that was so fast that it attracted people's attention.

The people in the live broadcast room were so nervous. They were expecting the brother to show a happy expression when he saw Oasis, but they didn't expect that a lion would run out at this time.

"Ahhh, run!"

"Go ahead, don't let the lion charge you."

The livestreamer shouted, but humans were no match for the lion. Xia Entropy, carrying Chu Huaiqin, had just reached the edge of the dune when the lion, already behind them, thrust its hind legs and leaping towards them. Everyone in the livestreamer was speechless with fear, expecting the lion to pounce on them when Xia Entropy suddenly let go, allowing Chu Huaiqin to slide off his back. Then, with lightning speed, Xia Entropy grabbed Chu Huaiqin and fell sideways, sending them crashing to the sand and tumbling downhill.

The noise startled the others. Those who were happily playing in the water turned around and saw a lion. It was obvious how frightened they were. They immediately raised their wrists to point at the lion, while those who were taking off their clothes rushed to the shore to look for their watches. For a moment, their clothes flew everywhere.

The lion didn't seem to expect that there were so many people, and it roared at the two people who had rolled down.

The distance between the uphill and downhill slopes was not far, and the lion could reach Chu Huaiqin and the others with one pounce, but it was also concerned about the sudden appearance of the crowd, and then it roared twice at the two of them and walked away.

As if to say: Remember you two.

Live broadcast room:

"It won't go back to call for support!"

"That's hard to say."

The people in the live broadcast room were worried.

The lion left, and everyone at the scene breathed a sigh of relief. But they also realized that wherever there's a water source, large wild animals are likely to be present. The teams that arrived earlier didn't encounter any last night because it was too late. Animals near the water source don't need to come out in the middle of the night to drink, so they spent the night safely. Now, things are different: the lion has discovered them.

Some were worried, others were just too arrogant. Xia Entang told Chu Huaiqin to stay put while he went back to look in his backpack. Chu Huaiqin was already unbuttoning his shirt as he walked towards the lake. After two days of fever and an hour of sweating in the morning, Chu Huaiqin felt a terrible layer of filth all over his body. He had to get in the water now, and no one could stop him.

The little monk who was splashing water by the lake saw Chu Huaiqin coming towards him aggressively and shrank his neck. He seemed to see a burning fire behind his brother.

Hmm, I must be dazzled.

The lake, surrounded by sand dunes, was about four or five hundred square meters wide. Green grass grew on the flat ground below the dunes, extending all the way to the lake itself. Numerous shrubs also grew in a circle around the lake. The young monk was leaning against a berry tree, eating small red berries as he watched Chu Huaiqin approach with wide eyes.

“Plop!”

"etc!"

The sound of water and Xia En's voice rang out at the same time. Xia En, who was picking up the bags, dragged two bags towards the lake with great momentum.

"Why did you go into the water?" Xia En looked at Chu Huaiqin angrily.

"It feels uncomfortable, my whole body feels uncomfortable." Chu Huaiqin soaked in the lake. The water here was very clear, so he was not afraid of stepping on any undercurrents, swamps, flowing water or the like when he jumped in.

"Your fever hasn't completely subsided yet." Xia En was angry and anxious when he saw Chu Huaiqin half-closed his eyes, and he felt helpless about Chu Huaiqin's sudden childishness.

"Wait until I finish my shower. My fever and cold will be gone." Chu Huaiqin splashed water on his face, sighed softly, and held out his hand to Xia En. "Soap."

Xia Entropy: I really want to drag him up and spank him.
