Chapter 104
"...Brother Mu Yuan, did you see these feet?"
Young Master Qiao's words became unsteady, his voice trembled, and he almost fell to the ground.
How could Mu Yuan comfort him? As the person who saw the ghost behind the scenes in the video, he was more frightened than Master Qiao!
After the initial shock, Tiger Rabbit, who had hoped that this was a self-directed performance by the two night watchers, saw that their panic-stricken behavior was not at all acted out, and his expression became completely stiff.
Even though she was well-informed, she couldn't find any explanation for the foot that inexplicably appeared behind Mu Yuan!
It was bright daytime, with sunlight shining into the house through the windows, but the people present did not feel the slightest bit of warmth. Instead, they felt a chill that penetrated deep into their bones.
Several people were speechless, but comments kept refreshing the screen.
[Good guy.] . 】
[Is this really a ghost? Ahhh baby, we won’t be doing a live broadcast anymore, let’s go, life is more important! ! 】
[I told you about the Death Forest, why are you seeking death? ! 】
[I’m going to call the police ah ah ah]
When Tiger-Tooth Rabbit saw the words "call the police", he was startled and his brain, which was controlled by fear, became a little more sober.
If the Internet police intervene and discover such supernatural events, their live broadcast rooms will definitely be blocked!
And now... because of the horrific situation, the popularity of her live broadcast room has reached an unprecedented peak. How can she give up such popularity? Anyway, there are no ghosts in the world, everything is just a coincidence.
She gritted her teeth, a ruthless look in her heart, and soothed him: "This may be a phenomenon caused by the reflection or refraction of light. If those feet really belonged to an unknown creature, how could we survive until now?"
Master Qiao's face turned pale: "But..."
Tiger Tooth Rabbit interrupted him: "Besides, the original purpose of our coming here is to uncover the strange events in the Forest of Death! If we leave after encountering this situation on the first night, wouldn't we be destroying our own reputation?"
These words were quite harsh and directly led to several anchors being criticized.
Young Master Qiao was so sad that he wanted to cry but he really wanted to leave. However, when he looked left and right, he found that the other two people were silent after hearing what Tiger Tooth Rabbit said.
...What are you doing!
Young Master Qiao is about to collapse. Brothers and sisters, can fame and money be more important than life? That's a ghost!
He was just about to say "If you don't leave, I'll leave too", but suddenly he remembered that the wooden house was some distance away from the outside of the mountain. If he left alone, not to mention the safety issue and whether he would encounter ghosts, it would be a question whether he could find the direction clearly.
Besides, in horror stories, aren't people who are alone the first to be killed?
Thinking of this, Master Qiao didn’t dare to say that he wanted to leave. He taciturnly agreed with Tiger Tooth Rabbit’s words, but secretly cursed them in his heart as “a bunch of lunatics”.
Seeing that no one objected, Tiger Rabbit's expression eased a little, and she said, "From now on, we will act in pairs, and explore the surrounding area of the forest in the morning."
"Don't worry," she gave a familiar smile to the barrage, "We will definitely uncover the truth about the Forest of Death!"

[We will definitely uncover the truth about the Forest of Death! 】
A dialog box with these words appeared at the bottom of the screen. Su Xingyuan took a look at it with no expression on his face.
Su Xingyuan actually didn't do anything troublesome. He just used the function of backpack items to be put into the screen in the form of "rental". He casually brought his [Strange Mask] to the window, and when Mu Yuan relaxed his vigilance, he quietly put a pair of boots behind him, and took them back before he noticed.
That position also happened to be a blind spot for the camera, so one could only see the shoe body but not whether there was anyone on it. However, Su Xingyuan felt that even if the camera recorded the shoes that no one was wearing, the effect would probably not be reduced much.
The power of the human brain is infinite.
Although Su Xingyuan did this out of a desire to scare them, he also had the idea of expelling them from here. He vaguely discovered that this should not be a place inside the portal where one could only enter but not exit, but rather a normal place affected by evil spirits.
What's more serious is that although this place is not inside the portal, it is very likely that a nearby portal has lost control and collapsed.
It's easy to imagine that every time a mission is triggered during the Around the World Tour, it's related to a portal. Even if there's no crisis this time, it will definitely be no exception. Maybe there are already monsters in the portal lurking around them.
But since they are so persistent...
Su Xingyuan thought very tolerantly that since the pixel people loved adventure so much, he would of course do as they wish and let them have a more "exciting" life.

Because we decided to "explore the Death Forest at night", we had to get a good sleep in the afternoon, so checking the surrounding situation and collecting resources had to be put off until the morning.
After discussion, the four decided to divide into teams of men and women, Mu Yuan and Kuang Yiyi in one team, and Huyatu and Master Qiao in another team. They each chose a direction to look for food and water.
Although many viewers were concerned about the supernatural events last night, they were also very interested in this kind of survival in the wild. It was like watching a few people picking a few fruits here and picking up some branches there like a variety show. Young Master Qiao almost stepped on empty air and fell, which attracted a lot of "Hahahaha" comments in the barrage.
However, although the atmosphere is relaxed now, no one has forgotten the horror they felt when they saw those feet.
Beneath the seemingly joyful appearance of the barrage, there is actually a hidden tension. Some people even use the advanced special effects that come with rewards to ask for reminders of "high energy ahead".
Unfortunately, this is not a recording but a live broadcast. Once something happens, the audience and the host will be shocked and unlucky together.
“Sister Rabbit, I always feel that this forest is eerie even in broad daylight…” Young Master Qiao rubbed his arms, his face turning pale.
The deeper he went, the more he felt something was wrong. It should be a forest full of life, but there are almost no living things except plants. When he looked at the ground and found that there was not even a single ant, that chilly feeling on his forehead came over him again.
No matter how slow he was, he knew that this matter could not be explained away by a simple "misunderstanding".
Either there is a rare treasure or a very dangerous thing.
...Obviously, they would only encounter the latter.
Tiger Tooth Rabbit didn't know what he had discovered, but said calmly: "I've told you, it's just an illusion, don't deceive yourself."
Young Master Qiao opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but then closed it again.
Aren't you just deceiving yourselves?
If it makes sense that Tiger-Tooth Rabbit didn't notice this, then as a wilderness survival anchor, it makes no sense for Mu Yuan not to notice that he didn't see any living creatures, right?
But they pretended they hadn't noticed anything and deliberately ignored these strange things.
Young Master Qiao just felt a chill in his teeth. The enthusiasm, vanity, fame and fortune seemed to have turned these people into monsters and made them crazy.
He finally didn't want to stay any longer, the youthful expression on his face disappeared, and he said coldly: "...I won't participate in the next live broadcast, you guys have fun."
Without waiting for the tiger-toothed rabbit to react, he hardened his heart and walked quickly down the mountain.
As long as he gets out before dark and onto the highway, he should be able to call a car - he would accept it even if he encountered a ghost, he would not stay here to die with these crazy people!
There were some comments expressing reluctance, and some even mocked him for being a coward, but some of Mr. Qiao’s fans were relieved by his withdrawal.
Seeing this, Tiger Tooth Rabbit frowned slightly, and the feeling of uneasiness that had been suppressed in his heart became even more severe.
She casually comforted the barrage with a few words, turned her head to look into the quiet and deep forest, and felt a faint chill, as if... something was spying on her behind the layers of trees.
After Master Qiao left, she was left alone and no longer had the courage or mood to go deeper, so she simply turned around and went back to the cabin.
When she was just a few steps away from the cabin, she heard a sound of something rubbing against the ground from inside.
Tiger Tooth Rabbit's expression eased a little.
I didn't expect the other team to come back so early. From the sound, they were cleaning with the broom they made at random.
Although Tiger Tooth Rabbit scoffs at the talk of ghosts and gods, she still feels more at ease when her teammates come back and see their popularity.
Tiger Tooth Rabbit exhaled, smiled and said to the live broadcast room: "I didn't expect that they have come back. Let's go quietly and scare them~"
After saying this, she stopped looking at the comments and tiptoed towards the cabin.
I didn’t even see the words that flashed across the screen:
[…Who’s back?] 】
[But aren’t Brother Mu Yuan and Kuang Yiyi still outside? ? 】
[Oh my god, Bunny, come back ahhh]
[That’s not Brother Mu Yuan and Kuang Yiyi!] ! 】
——She went forward and opened the door.
——What caught her eye was a broom standing in front of her without any support.
For a moment, Tiger Tooth Rabbit almost thought that there was a person standing in front of him!
She almost trembled all over, and her scalp tingled as she looked at the broom that fell to the ground as she watched.
...She clearly remembered that the broom was placed in the corner, so how could it suddenly appear behind the door?
Moreover, she and the barrage clearly heard the sound of the broom sliding on the ground!
With all these factors combined, Tiger-Tooth Rabbit could hardly move. She stared at the broom, as if if she looked away for even a moment, she would be strangled by something out of nowhere.
[It’s so scary, I can’t stand it…! 】
[Run! Run! Run!]
[Tutu, can we stop broadcasting? I really feel like this time is a little different.]
Suddenly——
【! ! ! ! 】
[Go and see!] ! Something happened with Brother Mu Yuan! 】
[Oh shit!] ! 】
——At this moment, Mu Yuan, who was picking wild fruits with Kuang Yiyi, suddenly felt an extremely cold and tangible gaze.
He paused and subconsciously looked at Kuang Yiyi in front of him. She was concentrating on picking fruits, so the source of that gaze could not be her.
So... who could this guy be who has been staring at him?
Mu Yuan felt cold all over. He turned his head slowly and stiffly, and heard a message in the barrage of comments: "Turn back quickly! ! ! 】and 【Run! ! ! 】, looking behind him.
Then he saw a smiling figure.
The figure was hidden by layers of branches and leaves. When it saw him looking at it, it smiled and waved at him.
But Mu Yuan was horrified to find out——
The figure clearly didn't make any forward movement, but the distance between them was getting closer and closer...
Until finally, he was almost face to face with the figure who was still smiling and waving.
