The male college student successfully opened the password box.
Although it took some time, the two men were still very happy to get the next clue map in the box. "Great, great, this way we will be faster than others. Haha, not bad, you will be our think tank from now on. If anything goes wrong on the road, I will protect you."
The two men patted the college student on the shoulders, as if they had already regarded him as a part of the team.
The latter also breathed a sigh of relief.
He was not stupid. He knew that in this dangerous jungle, following such a strong person would give him a higher chance of survival, so he tried so hard to crack the code.
"Hurry up, let's get the second clue before anyone else. We'll have plenty of time to rest when the time comes." The big man studied the nearest route and immediately called on everyone to hurry up.
After witnessing the other teams' disappointment, this time no one complained and they got up and followed the big man.
The further you go past the edge of the dry jungle, the higher the humidity becomes, and the ground becomes more slippery and difficult to walk on. Snakes, ants, and reptiles emerge from the increasingly lush vegetation at any time.
"ah!"
When the girls screamed for the third time in fear, the big man took out the knife from his waist.
"If you scream again, I'll either tie you up here and leave you to die, or I'll cut off your tongue right now. Your choice."
The opponent looked ferocious and the cold light flashing from the blade he drew frightened everyone into silence.
Especially a few girls, they covered their mouths, widened their eyes in horror and shook their heads repeatedly, indicating that they would never shout again.
"I hate women like you who keep nagging. Either you know how to survive in the wild like this big sister, or you know nothing about it and just shut up and listen like the big star over there." The two big men made no secret of their disdain as they pointed at the female professor of archaeology and Ye Lan, asking them to learn more, otherwise they would bear the consequences.
The girls nodded while shedding tears.
But they had no life experience and it was impossible for them to suddenly learn how to survive in the wild, so they could only shut up and not make any noise.
After walking for a while, Liu Yalan heard her best friend say in her ear: "Ye Lan is actually quite amazing. In her first variety show, she was able to catch fish and identify herbs. She has a strong sense of survival in the wild. So many snakes crawled out just now, but she remained calm and didn't seem scared at all."
When Ren Jiarong said this, her original intention was to cheer up the girls' group.
However, when Liu Yalan glanced over, she saw Xiao Yunting picking up a branch and clearing the road in front of the girl, and she immediately felt a little disdainful.
She is just pretending in front of men. If she doesn't have anyone to help her, she will probably be even more cowardly than her!
With this in mind, she picked up some branches and beat them hard on the ground to drive away snakes, insects, rats and ants. It really worked, and she walked smoothly for the second half of the journey.
"It's right up ahead, almost there." The big man in the lead had a good sense of direction and led everyone almost straight to the destination. With the target in front of them, they stepped back and warned, "Hold on, keep quiet."
Everyone was confused and didn't know what they were on guard against when several figures suddenly jumped out from the bushes on the side.
"ah!"
The middle-aged couple who were knocked to the ground first had their arms cut immediately, and the other boys near the bushes were also ambushed.
In the dim light of the forest, they could clearly see the group of people.
They were wearing the same sensor suits, but their bodies were in a mess, with dried blood on them. It was obvious that they were also an ordinary team that was forced into the game.
"Wait, let's talk it out. We were also knocked unconscious... Hey, why are you still fighting?!"
They tried to explain, but the other team ignored them completely and stabbed them fiercely with knives and sharp branches.
For a moment, everyone was in chaos.
Just as a sharp knife was about to pierce the female archaeology professor's neck, a hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed her wrist.
"Ah!" The young man opposite who was holding a weapon and looked crazy roared, as if he had completely lost his mind. He turned his head and attacked to the side.
The next second, there was a crisp sound of "crackling".
The other person's face suddenly changed, the knife in his hand fell to the ground, and he curled up in the grass, covering his deformed wrist.
Xiao Yunting withdrew his hand expressionlessly and kicked the knife to the male professor on the other side.
The latter was stunned for a moment, then quickly grabbed the dagger and rushed over to protect the others.
After a few minutes, the situation gradually calmed down.
"Damn it! How could we run into such a crazy team right from the start? What bad luck!" After the two leading men finished dealing with everyone, they wiped the blood off their faces. Seeing Xiao Yunting standing not far away, still dressed in fine clothes, they immediately felt a surge of anger in their hearts and taunted him, "Rich second-generation sir, our people are about to die, and you're so leisurely hiding away and watching. Aren't you afraid that if all of us die, those remaining people will stab you and your little celebrity to pieces?"
After saying this, he spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and the scars on his face made him look even more ferocious and hideous.
At this time, the boys helped the girls stand up covered in dust, and their eyes inevitably fell on Xiao Yunting.
It would be fine if Ye Lan was a girl, but it is somewhat shameful that such a grown man has been hiding from the public and not standing up to protect the weak from beginning to end.
Liu Yalan wiped her face and curled her lips secretly. Her good impression of Xiao Yunting was greatly reduced, and she despised Ye Lan even more in her heart.
What a big star, what a bad taste!
At this time, no one noticed the hesitant expressions of the middle-aged couple standing nearby.
They wanted to speak up to explain for Xiao Yunting, but the big man in front had already gone to interrogate another team, and the others also showed obvious rejection, which made them hesitate for a moment, not knowing whether they should offend others for the sake of the two of them, especially the big man with high fighting power.
In the end, they could only walk up to the two of them and secretly say to Xiao Yunting, "I'm sorry."
Xiao Yunting looked indifferent and unmoved by all this. He just held Ye Lan's hand and continued to stand there, watching coldly.
"Tell me, do you have any accomplices? Where is the thing on the tree?" The two big men began to extract confessions from the defeated men and women.
The other party was not very careful with his words and was very emotional.
"We didn't take it. It was gone when we got here. You must have taken it!"
"Bullshit, I just found the place and you guys are lying in ambush here. How can I get the things before you?" The big man slapped the person who answered him, thinking that the other person was crazy.
But the latter still argued, "The thing is only in a certain area, not on a specific tree. Who knows if you have hidden it?"
The big man almost laughed out of anger. Seeing that the other people's faces were covered in blood, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "This is only the second level. What happened before you that made you look like this? Is anyone dead? Who killed them?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the person who had just been staring at them with wide eyes turned pale, his lips trembled twice, and two lines of tears as big as beans quickly slid down his eyes.
"Wow... They killed my fiancée..."
