orchid……
straw mushroom……
Jiang Ran shook his head, trying hard to get these strange things out of his mind.
Bai Zhiyong's voice was still coming from the pit. She didn't even look back and went straight to another trap she had set.
Before we reached the destination, we could hear the trapped people shouting at the top of their lungs from afar.
“Is there anyone here?”
Jiang Ran laughed when he heard it.
It turns out that the person I met this time was an acquaintance——
Fu Bo.
Jiang Ran had his eyes on Fu Bo's Swiss Army knife before he left the camp. Now it just happened to be delivered to his doorstep, right?
It's really a chance of change.
Of course, there is no need to be too cautious when dealing with Fu Bo.
Jiang Ran didn't even bother to disguise his voice, and just leaned half of his body out of the hole: "Is there anyone inside?"
“Yes, yes, yes!” Fu Bo was almost in despair. When he heard the voice, he almost jumped up on the spot, “Save me!”
"Fu Bo?" Jiang Ran pretended to recognize him. "Why are you here?"
Fu Bo felt very aggrieved: "I don't know who dug such a big hole on the road, and I fell down while walking."
"Is this actually man-made? That's too much! Could it be someone among these contestants who did this?"
"No need to think, it must have been done by one of the contestants!" Fu Bo rubbed his sore butt and said angrily, "If I find out who it was, I will cut him into pieces!"
"That guy deserved it! He deserved to be punished for doing such a wicked thing!"
Jiang Ran kept agreeing with him, not caring that he was actually being scolded. He turned around and started to fan the flames: "But digging such a big hole and tricking you into falling into it must be difficult. Maybe it was a gang that committed the crime?"
Fu Bo thought for a moment and nodded: "What you said makes sense."
Jiang Ran: "And digging a trap takes time. They must have spent a lot of time and energy to complete all the preparations before you. So it seems that the instigator should be among the group that came in earlier."
The more Fu Bo listened, the more he felt it made sense.
"You're right," he said, "but could you pull me up first?"
"Looking up at you at a 180-degree angle is really tiring."
“…”
Jiang Ran had previously robbed a bundle of hemp rope from Bai Zhiyong, which came in handy now.
She tied one end of the rope tightly to the tree stump, pulled it a few times to make sure it was firm, and then threw the other end into the pit where Fu Bo was.
"Tie the rope around your body," Jiang Ran instructed. "Tell me when you're done and I'll pull you up."
Fu Bo hesitated: "Can you pull me?"
Jiang Ran smiled: "Don't underestimate me."
Five minutes later.
Fu Bo remained motionless: "...Are you kidding me?"
Jiang Ran resigned himself to his fate and put down the rope: "...why don't you just try harder on your own?"
Fu Bo: “…”
I knew this guy was unreliable!
Pulling someone along would have been a piece of cake for Jiang Ran in the past, but she had forgotten she had a new body. This one wasn't as battle-hardened as her previous one, but a mere flowery, greenhouse-bred flower. She was barely able to dig holes, but when she really had to exert her full strength, she immediately gave up.
Jiang Ran rubbed his red wrist.
My body is no longer the same as before, so I have to be more careful when I’m out in the wild.
Jiang Ran couldn't help much, so Fu Bo could only work hard on his own.
After a long time of effort, he finally managed to roll over sideways and lay half-dead beside the pit, gasping for breath.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Ran asked.
Fu Bo took several breaths before finally saying with difficulty, "...I'm not dead yet."
Jiang Ran was filled with righteous indignation: "Those who deliberately set traps to harm others are so despicable!"
Fu Bo was of course also very angry: "Who do you think did it?"
Jiang Ran copied an assignment from Bai Zhiyong: "Kong Xin, or Yu Hui."
"It's possible." Fu Bo didn't even have the strength to nod, "They... did..."
"Alright, alright, stop talking. It's important to conserve your energy."
"Um……"
"This rainforest is full of dangers. How can you survive in this state?"
Fu Bo smiled bitterly: "What can I do..."
"That won't do," Jiang Ran said considerately, "Let me lend you some self-defense gear."
Under Fu Bo's surprised and grateful gaze, Jiang Ran picked out something that looked like a weapon from his "high-end supplies" and stuffed it into Fu Bo's hand: "This way your safety will be guaranteed."
Fu Bo was deeply moved: "How can this be possible? I have nothing to give in return..."
"It's okay," Jiang Ran consoled him. "If you feel embarrassed, just trade your knife with me."
"Knife?" Fu Bo hesitated and took out a Swiss Army knife from his bag. "You mean this?"
"Yes, this knife is very delicate and beautiful. I like it very much."
"Isn't this a bad idea?" Fu Bo felt even more embarrassed. "It's just something that looks good but is useless..."
Jiang Ran thought that this was an insult to the Swiss Army Knife, as it had so many uses.
But he still said considerately, "It's okay. What matters most is that I like it."
Fu Bo thought she was sympathetic and said this on purpose, and he immediately felt even more guilty.
A long time passed.
After much persuasion, the exchange was finally successful.
"I'll owe you a favor from now on," Fu Bo patted his chest, "If you need anything, feel free to come to me!"
"Thank you very much in advance." Jiang Ran said with a smile.
"To be honest," Fu Bo said with some shame, "I actually doubted you before."
"What do you suspect me of?" Jiang Ran didn't understand at all, and confusion was written all over his face.
Fu Bo felt even more guilty: "I suspect you set this trap."
Jiang Ran laughed immediately: "Your imagination is too rich."
"Yeah," Fu Bo smiled relievedly when he saw that she didn't care. "I don't know what happened to me before. I actually had such an outrageous idea."
"It's okay, as long as the misunderstanding is resolved," Jiang Ran said with a smile, "I don't mind."
Following Fu Bo, Jiang Ran ambushed several contestants in a row.
After leaving the last pit trap, Jiang Ran counted his spoils:
The hemp rope and matches I stole from Bai Zhiyong can be used for fishing and making fires; the Swiss Army knife I swindled from Fu Bo can be used for hunting and building houses; and the metal cans I looted from others can be used to make and store water; even more useful is salt, which can be used for seasoning and replenishing energy...
Jiang Ran patted his bulging bag with satisfaction.
She is considered to be wealthy now, right?
Jiang Ran threw the bag onto his back, and without stopping any longer, he quickly continued on his way forward.
Jiang Ran put everything he had done behind him, but those who had been harmed were not so easy to let go.
None of the contestants expected that——
After entering the rainforest, the first threat they faced was not from the dangerous outdoor environment, but from... a mysterious and terrifying contestant.
On the first day of entering the rainforest, countless people experienced robbery by a mysterious man, but no one could figure out why this mysterious man bought the box and returned the pearl, took away a piece of junk and gave them high-end tools. What was his purpose?
But everyone's curiosity about the identity of the mysterious man exceeds their curiosity about the purpose of his actions.
On this day, a secret code of communication was born among the contestants.
"Have you seen the 'villain'?"
"I suspect the 'villain' is..."
"Really? Are you crying thief?"
"You're overthinking it. How could I possibly be as powerful as a 'villain'? That's a nightmare for so many people. I can't do it..."
"Villain" was the code name they gave Jiang Ran.
The reason for this code name is also very simple -
He had harmed so many people, so of course he was evil; and one of the victims happened to see a stick flash by the side of the pit when he was trapped, and guessed that it was used by him.
Unfortunately, no one knew who the "villain" was until the end of the day. This became an unsolved mystery in the minds of all the contestants. Many people even had no intention of continuing the competition. They just wanted to end the game quickly and go back to watch the replay to find out who the mysterious "villain" was as soon as possible.
What's worse, the contestants even secretly set up bets among themselves.
Of course, this bet was also seen by the audience watching in the live broadcast room.
They all hated them for not competing and wished they could rush into the stadium and place bets on the players.
The reason is very simple——
Even though Fu Bo tried his best to clear Jiang Ran's name, Jiang Ran's odds were at the top of the list, but few people bought her bets.
Look at the stakes...
If you buy a bet on Jiang Ran at this time, you might even have several years' salary! This must make the audience anxious!
I really want to see Fu Bo's expression when he finds out the truth. That scene must be very interesting.
[To be honest… I am the same…]
