As we moved further from the campsite, the brownish-black soil beneath our feet became increasingly damp.
Along the way, Chaochao held her brother's hand and sang the Little Adventurer's March in a good mood.
She will definitely rescue Tong Bao today!
It's definitely not for that super flashy and cool flame badge.
Chaochao, who was humming a little tune and shaking her head, seemed to be distracted by something by the roadside and suddenly let out a short "Oh~".
"Brother, look! What a big, red mushroom!"
She decisively let go, squatted down, and curiously examined the row of mushroom-shaped biscuits standing crookedly. The most eye-catching and largest mushroom stood upright, like a rounded umbrella.
This can be worn on her head as a sun umbrella.
"Don't touch it, it's poisonous."
Jiang Chi spoke slowly behind her.
With only a fleeting thought of taking Mushroom Boss home to work as his umbrella, Chaochao, without a hint of guilt, tucked his hands into his pockets and spoke fluently in his childish voice.
"I know."
"Red umbrella, white pole, let's lie down together after eating~"
"So you can't eat it."
Jiang Chi: "?"
His gaze shifted to the group of staff behind him.
The wilderness explorer paused for a moment, then vehemently denied it, "...I didn't teach him."
The little dumpling had already stood up calmly, supporting itself on its knees. Then, not far away, it saw another strange black and white mushroom, whose appearance perfectly satisfied some people's curiosity.
She pointed with her small hand and said to the crowd in a pretentious manner:
Does it look like a wreath to you?
Everyone: "…………"
After finishing the assessment, the little dumpling turned around with his hands behind his back, looking like he was giving a heartfelt piece of advice:
"Eating it will make you feel all clean and firm."
Everyone: "…………" ×2
Jiang Chi's lips twitched slightly as he noticed the little dumpling subtly mimicking someone's speech. "...Who taught you that?"
Chaochao said confidently, "Sister."
Before coming, Yu Ning knew Chaochao's obsession with appearances and was worried that she would be dazzled by the Flower Forest World, so she gave her some emergency training.
For example.
The more attractive someone is, the more likely they are to be toxic; stay far away from them.
Jiang Chi: "..."
Sister? Currently, there's only one person that the little dumpling can sweetly call "sister."
The image of the girl calling him "Gou Chi" when they first met immediately flashed into his mind.
Oh, that's not surprising.
Jiang Chi pulled Chaochao back to continue their journey, emphasizing with a serious expression, "Saving the hostages is the priority now."
Chaochao nodded repeatedly with a look of unwavering resolve, "Mhm!"
Jiang Chi took her small hand in his, his gaze silently sweeping to the side.
Two meters away, in the damp, muddy soil, was an animal footprint larger than a human face.
Not long ago, the production crew was forced to turn off the haunted background music in the "Terror Forest" segment because of Chaochao's singing. This was probably another tactic used by the production team to create mystery and scare children.
Beside him, Chaochao, who had just been saying "uh-huh" to be single-mindedly rescuing the hostages, soon became distracted again and gradually stopped even singing the Little Adventurer's March.
Those pretty mushrooms are not edible...
But Sister Yu Ning said that many seemingly ordinary wild mushrooms can be incredibly delicious when cooked...
Where is it? I can't see it...
Come out here! I'm not one to judge by looks; I judge by your inner qualities and talent!
...Could it be that they know they taste delicious, so they're all hiding in the corner?
Before Chaochao, who had been quietly contemplating, could show an expression of empathy, suddenly—
"Ah heh ho... Oh oh ha... Hiss hiss...!"
Suddenly, a figure resembling a tiger-striped leopard darted out from the previously desolate and secluded road ahead, flailing its arms and legs and uttering unintelligible shouts.
Chaochao: "!!!"
Her small hands immediately gripped Jiang Chi's coat sleeve tightly.
Where did it come from? Did it jump down from the tree?
Ignoring the children's shock, the unidentified creature, making startling noises, hopped and darted rapidly closer.
As the distance closed, their teammates were finally able to see what the other side looked like.
The newcomer's tanned face was smeared with red, white, and black paint. He wore a primitive and rugged leopard-print animal skin coat, and a bright feather headdress resembling a rooster's comb was wrapped around his forehead. The animal bone and shell necklace hanging on his chest made a crisp sound as he moved nimbly.
They're like savages straight out of a textbook.
Chaochao stared intently at his forehead: "He's bald!"
Jiang Chi corrected the child who misheard the word: "Tuzin people".
In the course of their conversation, the indigenous people who had been walking by were less than ten meters away from them.
He waved his limbs and bared his teeth from time to time, trying to scare away the brother and sister standing at the front. From his alien language of "ee-ya ee-ya ahey," one could barely make out simple words such as "mine," "no," "hurry up," and "right away."
The meaning of expulsion is very clear.
The crazed indigenous man was baring his teeth at her menacingly.
Chao Chao belatedly realized that he was the savage who had tied them up, the man-eating savage.
Chaochao: "..."
Chaochao: "..."
The little dumpling stood there dumbfounded, as if a crow was cawing low overhead.
Jiang Chi looked at the little bundle at his feet that had suddenly hardened: "?"
It has a long reaction arc, but its braking speed is extremely fast.
Seeing the natives take two or three more steps forward, Chaochao nervously swallowed, "I...we can't go back...please let us through—"
Her voice stopped abruptly because the bald man wouldn't listen to her at all!
