Chapter 107
Su Huaichen and Lin Zhinan suddenly sat down and didn't want to leave, which attracted the attention of other teams, who seemed to be watching the fun.
Xia En frowned and said, "It's only ten in the morning, and the weather isn't too hot. We must take advantage of this time to hurry on our journey."
"But I'm really tired, brother." Lin Zhinan turned his head and looked at Chu Huaiqin, looking as if he couldn't bear it.
"How about taking a break?" The little monk stuttered and his face turned red. Fortunately, he was wearing a veil at this time, so others could not see his guilty look.
"Ahhh, it's pitiful that the Rolling Team is defeated so soon."
"Dear Rolling Team, we're waiting for you up ahead, come on and catch up."
The mocking words drew whistles, and then the group of people walked past Chu Huaiqin and others and left. As they walked, some people turned around and jumped up and down at them.
"Brother, are they moving like a monkey?" the little monk asked bluntly and very unclearly.
"Maybe they were invited by Doubi!" Chu Huaiqin replied. He looked around and saw the same endless expanse of yellow sand, with many undulating dunes. The sand was covered with sparse, grayish-yellow grass. "Let's go!"
As Chu Huaiqin finished speaking, Lin Zhinan and Su Huaichen, who were sitting, immediately stood up, shouldered their backpacks, and followed Chu Huaiqin off the route. The livestream was completely bewildered. Someone pulled out the program team's published map and discovered that every food chain point was off the route.
"Brother, I see that every small sand dune in the desert looks the same. How do you distinguish them?" Lin Zhinan was very curious about this.
"The folds in the sand dunes can show the direction of the wind blowing over the years. Based on this, we can determine the directions of east, south, west and north. When the map is aligned with the direction, we can suddenly determine the location of the point. There is another method. The map marks the latitude, and based on the folds of the sand dunes, we can also tell our location..." Chu Huaiqin talked a lot. Except for Xia Entang, everyone else was a little stunned. They seemed to understand, but after thinking about it, they didn't understand anything at all.
After walking a short distance, the five of them climbed a small sand dune. This was more difficult than climbing a flat sandy path. Even if the shoes had anti-slip properties, inexperienced people would not be able to find gravity when stepping on it and would inevitably slide down the sand. Lin Zhinan almost fell down, but fortunately the little monk held her back.
Chu Huaiqin was exhausted, so Xia Entang grabbed his hand and pulled him up. The five of them supported each other and finally climbed up.
As Chu Huaiqin and his four companions disappeared from the background, the Cuttlefish and Black Hawk teams appeared behind them. The Cuttlefish team, undeterred by the complex situation in their country, had no intention of getting involved in the show. Rumor had it that he was the heir apparent of a certain corporate group, a man with shady dealings. The Black Hawks, as competitors against the Rolling Team in this tournament, naturally made moves that would benefit their own team.
So when they saw Chu Huaiqin deviate from the route, they followed him.
The live broadcast room suddenly became anxious:
"To be followed like this, my brother's luck is so bad!"
"Ahhh, brother, brother, there are people behind us, please look back!"
"Oh my god, can I expect any quality from them."
"Haha, this is a competition, please clarify."
"Don't expect others, just do it."
I had been worried that Chu Huaiqin and other Chinese audiences would get excited because of this sentence. Yes, if you don’t agree, just do it. Why should you be afraid of him?
"Brother, brother, it's chickens, it's chickens." Before he got off the sand dune, Lin Zhinan saw two hens pecking at the grass in the weeds on the flat sand below, clucking, like the sound of nature.
"Quick, quick, surround them, ah!" Su Huaichen was also very excited. He stood halfway and waved his hands around. He lost his balance for a moment, and slid down with a scream, rolling down the small sand dune. The faces of several people changed in fear.
Fortunately, his backpack was big, and it only rolled twice before the backpack got him stuck.
The little monk and Xia Entang hurried over to pick up Su Huaichen. His veil had fallen off, revealing his face covered in sand.
"Pfft, this sand is hot." Su Huaichen spat out the sand in his mouth. "Don't worry about me, I guarantee you'll get beaten."
Upon hearing this, the young monk immediately bolted. Xia Entang glanced at Chu Huaiqin, and seeing he was able to stand, he also ran. Lin Zhinan threw his backpack aside, removed his gloves for the feel of his hands, and charged forward with his bow/crossbow.
Several people ran down bravely. Yesterday they drank only boiled cactus and radish in water without salt or oil, and they were still not full. When they looked at the chicken, it had already become a roasted chicken. How could they let it run away?
The sand dunes were triangular in shape, forming two flat areas the size of basketball courts. One of them was the exit, and Xia En rushed over with a knife to block the exit.
At this time, the two chickens were still cackling and pecking at the grass, looking very bold.
The five men bent over and quietly surrounded them, narrowing the encirclement little by little.
"Are these two chickens stupid? They're just pecking at a blade of grass. Someone's here to catch you for a snack."
"Could it be that the production crew has tied them up? Check to see if there are any ropes on their feet."
"They must be too hungry. These chickens are quite skinny. How long have they been here? They must be starving."
"Now that I've mentioned it, it's so skinny, is it a pheasant?"
"That's not the color of pheasant feathers."
"Yes, the pheasant's feathers are brighter, and the shape of the chicken is different."
The live broadcast room started chatting about chicken.
At this time, Chu Huaiqin and his men were already surrounding them, ten meters, eight meters, seven meters...
The diameter of the circle was getting smaller and smaller, but the two chickens seemed to know their mission and remained motionless. Everyone was amused, thinking that the two chickens might be domesticated, so they were already accustomed to humans and did not object to humans approaching.
At this time, the two chickens had been plucked, and as the distance got closer, the two chickens started to make a fire...
“Chuckle!”
The two chickens' arc was too long, and they didn't realize they were surrounded until the circle's diameter was almost shrunk to about six meters. They turned around and wanted to escape, but found people surrounding them on all sides.
"Give up struggling!" Su Huaichen was sweating profusely from the heat, breathing heavily, "Come, into my arms."
"Be careful, don't let them slip through the cracks." Xia En reminded and motioned for everyone to pay attention. His eyes were always on Chu Huaiqin. After all, Chu Huaiqin said he was a member of the chicken catching team, but he was just adding to the manpower.
"Don't worry, Xia En, they can't get away," the little monk licked his lips. "But, brother, what's that hanging around its neck?"
"Is it an epidemic prevention sign?" Su Huaichen guessed.
"It's the seasoning!" Chu Huaiqin was already standing still, fanning himself with water, his whole body soaked.
"It's so good that the production team even added seasonings?" Su Huaichen was surprised.
"Focus, focus, catch the chicken." Lin Zhinan was anxious. Why did they start chatting at this time?
"Don't worry, the little monk and I will lead the attack, one for each of us, and the others will make feint attacks, yelling and shouting to scare them over." Xia En's eyes were sharp.
The little monk nodded in agreement.
By this time, the two chickens had been trapped in a circle about three meters away. At Xia En's command, the main attacker pounced forward, while the feinting attacker waved his hands like a fan, letting out a loud cry. This frightened the chickens, and they immediately screamed as if they were in a boiling pot. They retracted their legs, exposed their claws, and flapped their wings like an exhaust fan. They soared from the ground, one flying towards Xia En, the other flying straight towards Chu Huaiqin...
Live broadcast room: It’s stable.
Xia Entropy reacted the fastest. He swung his long arm and knocked the chicken down with a palm like hitting a badminton. With a scream of "cluck", Su Huaichen rushed over and hugged it. However, the one flying towards Chu Huaiqin did not show the audience's expectation of "one punch, one chicken". It flew arrogantly above Chu Huaiqin's head, let out a long cry, stretched out its two claws, flew behind Chu Huaiqin, landed on the ground, and ran away.
"Damn, a flying chicken." The little monk shouted and chased after it with Lin Zhinan.
Xia En ran up to Chu Shaoqing and reached out to touch his head to check if he was scratched.
"Go and catch him quickly, someone is coming." Chu Huaiqin slapped Xia En's hand away and urged.
Squinting their eyes, they saw the Cuttlefish and Black Hawk teams, also in camouflage uniforms, appear. The dozen or so men's eyes lit up as they saw the hen. They dropped their backpacks and hiking poles, slid down the dune, and rushed towards the hen, screaming.
"Our chicken." Su Huaichen was holding the chicken in his hand, anxious. He ran over and stuffed the chicken into Chu Huaiqin, and ran over to help.
The hen had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, but fell into a wolf's den. She was so scared that her feathers stood on end and she kept clucking. She turned around and wanted to escape, but she saw Xia En and the little monk rushing towards her, howling. She turned around and rushed to the side.
The two teams rushed so fast that they almost collided. They glared at the "enemy" and chased the chicken first without saying anything.
For a chicken, more than a dozen grown men rolled around in the sand. Accompanied by the chicken's cries and rolling dust, the live broadcast room was fortunate to witness an extraordinary chicken-catching performance.
In addition to competing with the chicken in terms of physical strength, you also need to compete with the "enemy" in terms of tactics, using 36 strategies in turn, such as taking advantage of the fire to rob, closing the door to catch the chicken, sneaking into the troubled waters, and startling the chicken...
The tactic was used with such perfection that the opponent was unable to catch the chicken, and he himself caught nothing but chicken feathers.
The scorching weather, flying dust, and sweaty bodies caused a rapid loss of physical strength and water. After half an hour, more than a dozen men could no longer bear it. They bent over, supported their knees, and gasped for breath.
Staring at the hen that was still running happily with its wings flapping and clucking, I gritted my teeth until they bled, wishing I could chop it down with a knife immediately.
"Let's cooperate!" The Black Hawk team members spoke while panting, their voices so hoarse that they were almost unbearable.
"No, no, why, why should we cooperate? I, our chicken came, you, you are going too far." Su Huaichen spoke fluent English intermittently.
"Don't you already have one?" the Black Hawks gritted their teeth.
"It's not enough to eat." Xia En said coldly.
"Haha, whoever catches it owns it." The people from the Cuttlefish Team also disagreed. Each team was made up of grown men. A small hen was not enough to eat. How many bites were left after dividing it?
“Chuckle!”
Suddenly, a human voice like a chicken was heard. Everyone turned around and saw Chu Huaiqin holding a handful of grass and crowing at a chicken. The sound was really similar to a chicken.
"Haha, if it's so stupid, we would have caught it long ago." The members of the Cuttlefish Team mocked it.
"Really?" Chu Huaiqin smiled and continued his crowing.
Then, everyone was stunned. They watched stupidly as the chicken that had caused them so much trouble actually rushed towards Chu Huaiqin. The chicken opened its mouth, but before it could eat the grass, it was caught.
Everyone: ...
