Chapter 84

Amid the roar of condemnation below, the ancient-colored Ganoderma lucidum on the tree silently shrank itself a little, pretending that it did not exist.

The people chasing below ran farther and farther away from this place, as if the range of the spotlight finally dimmed a little. After a while, Yu Tu and Hao Zhizhi's bracelets vibrated wildly. It was Gu Hongying's voice in the Hunter Group. When they clicked it, they heard his wailing:

[Who on earth threw the telescope? All the hatred points are on me. I am being blamed so unfairly. Aaaaaaa——]

Yu Tu: [If you really can’t do it, just treat it as a marathon exercise————]

Before Yu Tu finished typing, he suddenly felt his body was empty, as if something was tied to his body, and his vision instantly fell.

Yu Tu: “???”

The 360-degree vision made Yu Tu realize to his amazement that a pair of soft long ears were tightly wrapped around him. He first fell down, then leaped in mid-air to another tree and started parkour instantly.

Feeling dizzy, Yu Tu only had time to wrap his watch tightly with the branches and leaves, and then he was tied by his ears like a swaying seedling.

There was the sound of flapping wings overhead, and Yu Tu looked up to see a brightly colored bird—it was shaking so violently that he couldn't see the species. Only the bracelet on his wrist was vibrating wildly, and he couldn't tell whether it was a new flock or a small group.

"I'll put you in a place with dense trees. Once you land, run quickly!"

Yu Tu heard Hao Zhizhi's voice coming from behind. Hao Zhizhi moved very quickly. Before she could finish half of her words, Yu Tu was thrown out by her soft long ears. If Yu Tu had not become more familiar with his gymnastics recently and used leaves to hang on the branches, he should have been able to perform a ropeless bungee for Hao Zhizhi on the spot.

The position where Hao Zhizhi threw Yu Tu was also very clever. Given the size of that brightly colored bird, if it wanted to cross the interlaced branches to catch Yu Tu, it would inevitably get its feathers scratched - birds cherish their feathers as much as humans cherish their dwindling hair.

After she shook Yu Tu off, she sped up instantly, her snow-white figure jumping around on the treetops. The watch around her neck vibrated, and coupled with the light radiating from her body, she was like a moving high-wattage light bulb.

After Yu Tu hung on the branch, he had no time to check the message from his watch. He quickly slung the watch across his body and headed for where the branches were denser. However, the darker the place he went, the brighter his light became. In the critical situation, Yu Tu mastered the sensing skill without any instruction. The plants around him seemed to be telling him where to run to get temporary safety.

Yu Tu ran madly along the safe path told by the plants. Halfway through, he braked suddenly, threw away the leaves, and ran in the opposite direction. After he ran dozens of steps, the dead branches and leaves on the ground at his original location suddenly exploded, and a pangolin with light brown scales crawled out of the ground, shaking its head and tail and chasing after Yu Tu Miao.

Without looking closely, Yu Tu knew that the pangolin chasing after him was definitely not a product of the rainforest. It must be the prototype of one of their classmates!

Yu Tusagan ran even harder, and the watch on his body almost turned into a hula hoop.

The pangolins chased on the ground for a while, then dived underground. Yu Tu often had to change direction while running. If you look down at the ground from above, you will find that the ground is full of holes, like some kind of whack-a-mole game.

Yu Tu couldn't climb the tree because all the classmates who could fly were chasing Hao Zhizhi who was jumping on the treetop. He also couldn't go to the empty space because all the classmates who didn't have their original forms were surrounding Gu Hongying and Eric in the woods. The small ones who could dig holes were all blocking him!

The tea tree seedlings have no mouth and cannot make any sound, but Yu Tu's screams inside have become one and the same. He swears that he has run more laps now than in all the physical education classes in junior high and high school combined!

Is this some kind of real-life escape game?

The four glowing "bulbs" overlap and then disperse, and the people chasing them occasionally switch targets.

"No... huh..." Someone was out of breath after chasing them, "These four light bulbs are too fast! Their physical fitness is simply, huh, huh - they are simply not human!"

"Yu Tu and Hao Zhizhi were not human beings in the first place..." The people around him were equally exhausted, "Fuck it... I'm so tired, now I feel like I can... spit out blood..."

They opened their watches with shaking hands. Some people in the freshman group were venting their anger about being tricked, but after the long chase started, no one cared about chatting anymore - who still had the energy to talk after being tricked three times in four areas!

[No, no, no, we really can’t run any further. If we keep going like this, we’ll die of exhaustion before they catch us…]

[I feel like they are about to run out of energy. Let's hold on a little longer!]

[You said the same thing half an hour ago! I really can’t run anymore. I feel like my limbs are no longer mine!]

[Aren't you hungry? I feel like I'm starving to death. I'm so hungry that I can eat the entire military training base! ]

[You can eat the one from the military training base. After you eat it, we won’t have to do this kind of training anymore. Which psychopath came up with this idea?! ]

After two or three hours of intense pursuit, both sides gradually gave up. Everyone tacitly stopped the fight and collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

As they panted, everyone's stomachs began to growl. The military training was at night, and at the training site, the cycle of day and night lasted for almost six hours, which was equivalent to running a high-intensity marathon all night long.

Gu Hongying was lying about a hundred meters away from these people, with a look of despair on his face. If his father had not taken him home after the auction and trained him for a month, he would have been caught long ago.

He turned on his watch and spoke to the group: [Are you still alive? ]

Each of the three people replied with a string of ellipsis.

Yu Tu was lying like a "dead seedling" in a bush. Outside the bush, a pangolin was lying on its back with its tongue hanging out, also exhausted.

Yu Tu glanced outside the bushes and found that he was not moving, so he cautiously opened the new student group and spent a few minutes to figure out the situation.

During the previous chase, after Gu Hongying and Eric ran away, some careful people noticed that the light over there was still very bright, and suspected that someone was hiding in the tree, so everyone pretended to chase them. After the two of them dispersed, the students of the demon tribe who could fly all turned into their original forms to catch people on the treetops. If Hao Zhizhi had not been alert and reacted quickly, half of the four hunters would have been killed.

When they were resting together, the bright sky suddenly dimmed, and three seconds later, day turned into night.

The light on the hunter went out, and fluorescent words began to appear on the sides of the students. The identities of the chaser and the chased were instantly reversed.

But... no one moved.

It's really tiring.

If everyone is still holding their breath to chase each other before, after lying down, the soreness of the muscles all over the body will be fed back to the brain, and people will easily become exhausted.

"Can we make a deal?" The leader of the group, who was more than 100 meters away from Gu Hongying, shouted weakly, "Let's have a truce for a day and night."

This time they also figured out a pattern for the change of day and night, which is about once every three hours, and a cycle every six hours.

Gu Hongying struggled to get up from the ground and staggered towards the crowd. The crowd, which was staggering here and there, was a little panicked for a moment. Some people tried to struggle to get up, but after moving a few times, they lay back down like a fish stranded on the shore.

"I'm not here to eliminate you. A truce is fine." Gu Hongying's voice was also weak. "I just came here to complain. You guys are so physically fit. You chased me for three hours. Do you have such a strong hatred for me?"

"I'm not trying to steam buns, I'm trying to show my strength." The leader chatted with him, "Isn't the strength gone now? You can really run, brother."

"Well..." Gu Hongying lay down beside him, "I feel like I'm going to vomit blood from exhaustion... A break of two days or night is fine."

He tilted his head and asked sincerely, "Good brother, do you have anything to eat?"

Leader: "...Do you want to listen to what my stomach is saying?"

Gu Hongying: “…”

He exuded the smell of salted fish despair: "I feel like I'm looming in front of King Yan's palace."

Leader: "I have an energy bar in my backpack. I can give you one third at most."

Yu Tu climbed up from the ground with his leaves hanging down. The light on his body had disappeared. Fluorescent words gradually emerged next to the pangolin outside the bushes.

The pangolin looked at the darkening sky, sighed, stretched out its claws to dig a small hole and buried its head in it, believing that if it can't be seen, it doesn't exist.

After a while, he felt something poking the scales on his back. The pangolin's chubby body moved to the side and said in a muffled voice, "Why don't you just eliminate me?"

After he finished speaking, he felt a little pain in his back.

The pangolin reached out its claws and touched the slippery scales.

pangolin:"……?"

Wasn't he chasing a small tea tree seedling?

He pulled his head out from the soil and turned around.

Behind him is a python that is trying to strangle him!

pangolin:"!!!"

Now he no longer had a headache, a sore waist, or pain in his flesh. He grabbed the snake's body with his claws, and when it relaxed in pain, the pangolin's claws left an afterimage, and it dug a hole and escaped. Then... the python bit the tip of his tail.

The pangolin's high-pitched voice resounded throughout the rainforest area as it exploded with pain. Hao Zhizhi, who was resting in a hidden corner in the form of a Ganoderma lucidum, shuddered in fear: "...Is it a ghost?"

People who are eliminated normally will not make such a sound. People who are eliminated by danger in the rainforest are basically killed in one blow. Such a scream can only appear when they are able to resist.

Although Hao Zhizhi didn't know the screaming classmate, she decided to go over and take a look in the spirit of classmates. If she couldn't do it, she would eliminate the person. At least she wouldn't have to suffer in the rainforest.

The screams were intermittent, sometimes far away, sometimes near. Hao Zhizhi was so scared as she chased after him. Many horror movies flashed through her mind until she reached her destination.

Next to a small burning fire, a pangolin with light brown scales lay on Yu Tu's lap, sobbing and chewing fruit. Yu Tu was applying medicine to the tip of his tail and tying a bow while wrapping the bandage.

Hao Zhizhi: "…Humanitarian care for the prisoners before they leave?"

pangolin:"……"

Yu Tu: “…”

Silence at the same time.JPG

After the awkward atmosphere spread for a while, Yu Tu took out a handful of small fruits from his bag: "Huang Songmei, do you want to eat?"

Hao Zhizhi, who had also been chased for three hours without eating or drinking, said: "...eat."

Half an hour later, the water in the simple homemade pot began to bubble and the aroma of the soup spread, making people salivate at night.

Yu Tu stirred the pot with homemade chopsticks and added some soul chopped green onions.

The not-so-big fire was flickering, and two people were sitting cross-legged on the ground beside the fire, crunching fruit.

Hao Zhizhi: "I am so touched that I can even have a sip of hot soup! I really didn't save you in vain, Tutu!"

Pangolin: "After a few hours, when the day and night change, let's have a fake match!"

Taking care of injuries, meals and psychological counseling, what a perfect military training partner!
