Meranda was obviously a bright and beautiful woman, but at this moment she smiled shyly on purpose.
I explained to Xia Yiqian in awkward Mandarin, "The director told us to stay as close as possible and not spread out.
We are both girls, so living together is both convenient and safe!"
Meranda's tone was quite sincere, but her smile was obviously out of place and didn't match her appearance at all.
Xia Yiqian: ...
“Even though we don’t live together, I’m safe.”
And if she pretended to be an ordinary person, she would have to sleep at night. This person being here seriously delayed her from eating snacks all night.
Melanda smiled embarrassedly, "I'm the one who's not safe!
I'm only good at witch skills and summoning spirits, not really fighting. The director said two people share a tent, and if I go alone with someone, not only will I be unable to save anyone, I might even be considered a burden.
But you are different, you are awesome!"
This is also the reason why she came to find Xia Yiqian with a shameless face. As a guest of this program, if she lived in a tent with ordinary team members, if something happened, she would definitely be the one to take care of it!
But her fighting skills are not good enough, let alone fighting, it is another matter whether she will get herself involved or not.
When Xia Yiqian heard that everyone was sharing a tent with two people, she pursed her lips, gave up the idea of throwing people out of the tent, and continued to eat snacks by herself.
He silently pulled up the small blanket from the side, wrapped himself up in a ball, and lay down to sleep.
Melanda looked at Xia Yiqian's somewhat aggrieved back and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment. It was as if she had committed a huge mistake, and she felt inexplicably guilty.
So Meilan the jungler silently pulled a blanket, wrapped himself in it, and lay down to sleep.
The two of them went to bed early, as if a small tent completely separated them from the outside world.
That night, the stars were dim and the cicadas were chirping incessantly. Xia Yiqian, who was pretending to be asleep, suddenly moved her ears.
She seemed to hear some rustling sounds outside.
Xia Yiqian opened her eyes with a serious look and frowned, feeling that something might be wrong outside.
He pretended to turn over and looked back at the sleeping Meranda, but she didn't react at all. After thinking for a while, he continued to wrap himself up and rolled back to pretend to sleep.
"Ring~Ring~Ring~"
About twenty minutes later, there was a clear sound of a ringing copper bell outside the tent.
Although the sound was clear, it carried a vague echo, as if someone was running in the mountains with bells on their body.
Xia Yiqian frowned slightly. The ringtone was obviously a little strange, but it didn't sound like it had any malice towards them. It sounded more like it was calling for something.
Just as she was wondering what the sound was, she suddenly felt as if someone was poking her in the back, not with much force, but strong enough to be recognized.
Melanda lowered her voice and whispered behind Xia Yiqian: "Xia, did you hear the noise outside?"
Of course Xia Yiqian heard it, but what could she do?
Normal humans are not so easily woken up after falling asleep. When she was still a human, she wouldn’t even know if someone took her away in the middle of the night!
Melanda called Xia Yiqian several times but got no response, so she had to give up.
She gritted her teeth, slowly moved to the tent screen window, and looked out quietly.
Outside the window, not far from where they lived, a small translucent white shadow slowly floated by.
Meranda's eyesight is not that good. She took off her glasses to be on the show. Now she can't see what's going on outside at all.
She squinted her eyes and looked carefully. The translucent, glowing white figure seemed to have a big tail and a pair of pointed ears.
The little white ball seemed to realize that someone was looking at her, and turned around and waved to Meranda.
It was obviously easier to identify the species from the front than from the back. Meranda muttered subconsciously, "Fox?"
Realizing what she had said, Meranda felt terrible.
Xia Yiqian had previously mentioned that the extra markings on their bodies were called Hu Tribe substitute markings. They had searched all day for the fox but couldn't find any trace of it, and Xia Yiqian had even said it was dead. Now seeing this translucent, glowing fox, it was obvious the two events were connected, right?
In order to film the live show and for safety reasons, and to avoid any mess during the show, the crew bought tents with screens, which are equivalent to a small window from which you can see the outside scenery.
Meranda was not the only one who felt that the two things were connected. Other people in the crew who were either woken up by the rustling sounds or who had not slept at all because of insomnia caused by the uncertainty of their future fate were also attracted by the faintly glowing object outside.
After a while, almost everyone woke up except Xia Yiqian who was still sleeping.
Some brave ones even quietly came out of the tent, wanting to catch the fox, remove the mark on themselves, and get down the mountain as soon as possible.
Just as the brave man pounced on the fox, the translucent fox a hundred meters away suddenly swayed, and the whole fox became much more ethereal.
"Ring~Ring~Ring~" The clear sound of the copper bell in the distance rang again.
