Chapter 374
There were no tasks in the afternoon; they had already found enough ingredients to get through the day in the morning.
So the production team arranged for the guests to go on a jungle adventure.
Although it's called an adventure, the production team had already scouted the route, so there wouldn't be any real danger, and there would be many adorable wild animals.
Rong Rong was protected by Quan Jia and Tai Xiao so closely that the group successfully reached the depths of the island and arrived at the stream.
This is a rare freshwater resource, and there are many small animals drinking water by the stream.
Rong Rong approached cautiously, without disturbing the small animals.
She happily squatted down to watch the animals drink water, and the other guests nearby tacitly remained silent, afraid of disturbing the animals and spoiling Rong Rong's enjoyment.
In the midst of this peaceful scene, the small animals that had been quietly drinking water suddenly raised their heads, pricked up their ears, and then turned and left in a hurry, as if they had been frightened.
Rong Rong turned around in surprise, followed by a rustling sound from the side, which made everyone feel a sense of crisis.
"Ah!" A scream pierced the sky.
Before Rong Rong could react, Quan Jia grabbed her hand and they quickly escaped.
Tai Xiao followed closely behind the two, and the other guests followed one after another.
However, not everyone ran in the same direction as Rong Rong and the others. In the critical moment, everyone was running around like headless flies.
Rong Rong still didn't understand what had happened, only that something seemed to be chasing them from behind. She quietly turned around and saw a black bear!
Rong Rong immediately sped up, inwardly cursing her bad luck.
Didn't the production team say they had set up a safety zone and there wouldn't be any wild animals?
Rong Rong could never have imagined that things would turn out so coincidentally.
Two black bears got into a fight over territory. One of them was seriously injured and, in its panic, ran across the safety line set up by the production team.
This place was originally far from the black bear's territory, and under normal circumstances, the black bear would not come here.
Fortunately, the black bear that had come was seriously injured, which is why it couldn't catch up with the guests for a while.
If it were a healthy black bear, Rong Rong and the others probably wouldn't have been able to run very far.
People often unleash amazing potential in times of crisis.
Rong Rong and the others ran very fast. Towards the end, Quan Jia and Tai Xiao were practically carrying Rong Rong on their backs as they ran.
Meanwhile, the other guests who were originally following behind them had long since disappeared.
Unfortunately, the black bear kept following Rong Rong and the others, which made them dare not relax at all.
By this time, the show's cameramen and videographers had long since lost track of the guests.
In the live stream, netizens were worried and anxious, and many couldn't help but shed tears.
This incident quickly became a trending topic, and netizens felt as if the sky had fallen when they learned that Rong Rong had encountered an accident on the island.
Some called the police, others called for rescuers.
In short, those who were able rushed to the island, while those who were not could only call for help to rescue Rong Rong or sincerely pray.
Rong Rong, who had captured everyone's attention, was already exhausted. She frowned in discomfort, her legs feeling weak.
Quan Jia frequently glanced at Rong Rong, his eyes filled with worry and struggle.
Finally, he seemed to see something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly pushed Rong Rong towards Tai Xiao, "Take Rong Rong and hide in that cave! I'll lure the bear away!"
"No! Brother Jia!" Rong Rong cried out anxiously, but Quan Jia had already stopped. Once the black bear got a little closer, he turned and ran in another direction.
The black bear indeed caught up with Quan Jia.
Tai Xiao didn't give Rong Rong a chance to resist. He picked her up and ran towards the cave Quan Jia had mentioned.
Although it's called a cave, the place is actually very small; it's just a narrow crevice in the rock that can only accommodate one person at a time.
Here, the black bear could no longer harm Rong Rong.
Tai Xiao stuffed Rong Rong inside and quickly tore off some branches and weeds to cover the entrance of the hole.
"I don't want to stay here, I want to save Jia-ge, Jia-ge can't be hurt!" Rong Rong refused and tried to run out.
But Tai Xiao forcefully held Rong Rong down, roaring, "Don't move!"
This was the first time Tai Xiao had ever lost his temper with Rong Rong, yelling at her in such a stern tone.
Tai Xiao couldn't care less about anything else; all he knew was that Rong Rong couldn't be harmed.
"No! I can save Jia-ge! Really!" Rong Rong wanted to come out again. She felt that she had to be with Quan Jia. She had the shop and the items. If something happened to Quan Jia, she could save his life.
If she doesn't follow Quan Jia, how can she save people at crucial moments?
At this moment, Rong Rong was already somewhat regretful. If she had known that the black bear would relentlessly pursue them, and if she had known they couldn't escape, she should have exchanged for the items earlier.
Just as Rong Rong was about to push aside the branches at the cave entrance and run out, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck and was plunged into darkness.
Tai Xiao carefully helped Rong Rong sit down, leaning her against the rock, and then used a tree branch to shield her from view before turning to chase after Quan Jia.
He heard the black bear's roar and knew where Quan Jia was. He couldn't just stand by and watch his cousin get into trouble.
When Rong Rong woke up again, she felt wet all over, and water droplets were still dripping down her face.
Rong Rong looked out through the branches and saw that the sky was getting dark, and the sunset was spreading across the sky, turning the whole earth into a warm orange-red color.
There were puddles everywhere on the ground, clearly indicating that it had just rained.
It's good that it's raining; the rainwater can block people's scent, so the black bear won't chase after us anymore.
Does that mean that Quan Jia and Tai Xiao have a greater chance of escaping?
Rong Rong comforted herself and walked straight out of the cave. She wanted to go find someone.
It was only after she came out that Rong Rong realized that her clothes were wet. The rain seemed to have been quite heavy, as she had gotten soaked even while she was in the cave.
But Rong Rong couldn't care less about any of that. She needed to find Quan Jia and Tai Xiao as soon as possible, or even just any guest.
Rong Rong followed the direction Quan Jia had left in her memory, trying to find Quan Jia and the black bear's footprints on the ground.
Black bear tracks are easy to find, but Quan Jia's are not. Rong Rong thought for a moment and decided to follow the black bear to take a look.
If Quan Jia were next to the black bear, she might be able to save people. If not, she wouldn't be afraid if she encountered the black bear herself; she could simply use props.
Anyway, there are no cameras around right now, so no one will know she has superpowers.
Having made up her mind, Rong Rong began to walk confidently.
However, the black bear's footprints disappeared not long after, as the rain washed away all traces.
Rong Rong frowned, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Suddenly, a creaking sound came from behind.
Rong Rong turned around instantly, her heart leaping into her throat.
"Don't be afraid, it's me."
A male voice rang out first, followed by Yang Kangping emerging from behind a large tree by the roadside.
The other person was overjoyed, his eyes shining as he stared at Rong Rong. He really hadn't expected that heaven would be so kind to him.
Surprisingly, after the ordeal, he encountered Rong Rong, who was alone, vulnerable, and frightened, on a deserted island.
