Chapter 299 Hard of Hearing

[Captain Chen was so fast, I couldn't even see clearly. Is this a blitzkrieg?]

[I didn't expect the Hunters to be eliminated first. This is going to be interesting!]

[Team Chen feels very safe!]

Lu Jinyu's face immediately fell when he realized what was happening. "No way! I only played for less than 20 minutes and got pinched on the butt by a white pelican, and I was eliminated."

“This gaming experience is too bad!”

The man in black had already stepped forward and carried Lu Jinyu away.

Lu Jinyu turned around and shouted to Su Zhining reluctantly, "Su Zhining, you better try your best and tear them both apart!"

"Otherwise I will look down on you for the rest of my life!"

"Tsk, you're useless and got torn to pieces in an instant, so who can you blame?" Su Zhining complained speechlessly. She turned around and looked at Chen Su and Xu Ying with a fierce look in her eyes.

Just as she was about to take action, she heard the director's voice over the radio. "One member of the Hunter team has been eliminated. All members are frozen in place for thirty seconds."

She curled her lips. What a broken rule!

Xu Ying and Chen Su quickly left the scene and headed towards the maze ahead.

As they walked, Xu Ying curiously asked Chen Su, "Captain Chen, how did you find the mysterious item?"

Chen Su patted his pocket and said, "Thanks to the little agent you sent."

The plateau pika that Xu Ying had just rescued poked its little head out of Chen Su's pocket and raised its paws high.

[Stationmaster Xu, I was the one who tipped off the news~]

"Ah!" Xu Ying's eyes lit up instantly, and he reached out and gently rubbed the pika's head. "Our little rabbit is so smart~"

She patted Chen Su on the shoulder and said, "Captain Chen's cooperation was great!"

In response to the praise from Stationmaster Xiao Xu, the cold white tips of Chen Su's ears on both sides of his goggles turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Pika tilted his head and curiously poked his hot earlobe with his paw.

[Captain Chen's ears are so red, are they almost ripe and ready to bloom and bear fruit?]

After hearing the plateau pika's funny and cute words, Xu Ying smiled and said, "No, humans are small animals like you, not plants!"

“It won’t bloom!”

Pika suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that Captain Chen is shy!"

Although Chen Su couldn't understand the pika's rabbit language, he could roughly guess what the pika and the rabbit were talking about based on the pika's paw touching him just now. His ears were already red as if they could drip blood, but his face remained stern. "Let's go, we have to speed up and try to find new props and unlock the Hunter Team's nameplate."

Xu Ying nodded and quickened his pace.

Chen Su and Xu Ying encountered three more forks in the road deep in the maze.

Just as he was hesitating, a majestic mountain goat slowly emerged from behind the icicle. It was covered with thick, long, gray-brown hair, and its curved horns were like two bronze scimitars, shining coldly in the sunlight.

The ibex's sturdy hooves made crisp "clacking" sounds as they stepped on the ice, and there were a few crystal ice chips hanging on the long beard on its chin, making it look like an old and weathered snow-capped mountain guide.

Xu Ying squatted down and smiled friendly: "Brother Yang, which side leads to the end?"

The ibex tilted its head and twitched its ears: [What did you say?]

Its big horn accidentally rubbed against the ice wall, shaking off a piece of fine ice crystals.

Xu Ying patiently raised her voice and said, "I say, which of these three roads is right?"

The ibex blinked its amber eyes in confusion: [Three what can you walk?]

Chen Su, who was standing nearby, raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "What did it say?"

Xu Ying rubbed his temple helplessly and explained in a low voice, "The ibex has very keen vision and sense of smell, but relatively poor hearing. They live in rocky areas high in the mountains, where the noise of wind and falling rocks is too loud. Their hearing is of limited help in survival, so it has deteriorated."

After saying that, she had to lean over to the ibex's ear and repeat word for word: "A road that can be walked! It's not a dead end!"

The barrage instantly went crazy:

[I understand. This is a sheep with hearing loss.]

[Is this the animal version of Ma Dongmei? ]

This sheep has ears as bad as my grandfather's, and it has two girlish twintails for nothing.

[It is recommended to give Brother Yang a hearing aid]

The ibex's eyes suddenly lit up, and it suddenly realized: "Oh! You are looking for the way!"

It raised its head proudly, its long horns gleaming in the sunlight. [That's easy, follow me! It's right in front!]

The two followed the confident ibex through the maze, twisting and turning for about seven or eight minutes, and were finally brought to a crystal clear ice house.

The igloo is carved with various exquisite patterns and is obviously a tourist check-in spot, but there are no exits around it - it is clearly a dead end.

[Hey, the road is right there!]

The ibex proudly pointed its long horns at the corner, with white air puffing out of its nose proudly, as if it had accomplished an important mission.

In the corner of the ice house, a sturdy red deer was lying leisurely.

It is covered with thick brown-red fur, and its broad antlers are like delicate tree crowns, shining softly under the reflection of ice crystals.

At this moment, it was slowly ruminating (chewing and digesting the food in its stomach), its moist black nose twitching from time to time, and its big amber eyes half-closed lazily, looking particularly comfortable.

Xu Ying looked at the red deer and was speechless for a moment: "The deer you are talking about, is this 'deer'?"

The ibex enthusiastically nudged her with its horns: [Yes! What a majestic deer!]

It even wagged its big tail proudly, obviously very satisfied with its "help".

Red Deer looked up lazily: [What's up?]

It was still chewing in its mouth.

The barrage exploded instantly:

【Hahahaha, money will be deducted for the pun! 】

[Ibex: I'm so warm and friendly trying to find deer for you, why are you still looking unhappy?]

[Ibex: Just tell me if it's a road or a red deer!]

Xu Ying: I've never been so speechless in my life.

I've already started searching Baidu for Red Deer's listening skills.

Chen Su held his forehead with his hand. "Master Xu, how is the red deer's hearing? Why not ask it?"

Xu Ying nodded. "The Siberian goat lives in high-altitude rocky areas and relies on vision to see far away. Their natural enemy, the red deer, lives in forests and grasslands, and their hearing and sense of smell are particularly good."

Xu Ying leaned forward slightly, resting his hands lightly on his knees, and smiled gently: "Mr. Malu, we are looking for the exit of the maze. Could you please lead the way?"

The red deer slowly stood up from the ground, shook off the snow on his body, and nodded gracefully: "Let's go, let's go. But after you lead the way, it's time for me to go home~"

As it spoke, it yawned slightly, revealing its pink tongue.

"Great!" Xu Ying's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands together unconsciously. "After so much bad luck, my luck has finally turned!"

Xu Ying turned to Chen Su and excitedly explained, "Red deer have an exceptionally good spatial memory. They can memorize the terrain within a ten-kilometer radius."
