Chapter 169
The lions hadn't just appeared; they'd been here five minutes ago. The livestream's comments were so overwhelming that no one could see them. Many viewers had to lower the percentage of comments, while also screaming and shouting in the comments, as if those inside could hear and see them. Especially when the lions were walking down the dune, the people in the livestream went crazy:
"Ahhh, Lion, hurry to the United States! Go quickly! Don't come to the Russians! They're all hairy and not tasty."
"No, no, no, don't come over here. Go to Sunset Country, where the rich people's meat smells good."
"Damn, damn, damn, it's still like this! This is the time for my dear brother to shine with holy light. Ahhhh, there are few people here in the Rolling Team, and we don't have enough to eat. Don't come over here."
"The Kangaroos and the Double Eagles are both animals. This is what you eat."
Fans of each team in the live broadcast room were extremely disgusted with the lions and wanted to personally go out and drive them to the team they hated.
A dozen lions slowly walked down the sand dunes amidst the tens of millions of online viewers in the live broadcast room, about ten meters away from the rolling team on the right and about fifteen meters away from the other teams on the left. Leading the way were the Kangaroos, the Maozi, and the Double Eagles, who walked in a row.
The lions' decision to stay out of sight was met with laughter and tears. However, the most worrying thing at this point was that every tent was locked. Finally, there was a cool midday breeze, shaded by trees, and everyone was soundly asleep, completely unaware of the lions' arrival. The young monk, the first to try, gasped and nearly passed out when he saw the lions.
The little monk was so frightened that he was shaking. His first reaction was to slowly back away, clasping his hands together and muttering, "Ji Jianqiang, you must be strong and wait until I come back. I only have three needles, which is not enough to put down ten lions!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed into the tent in an instant. His speed made the audience in the live broadcast room look sideways. Then, the little monk who ran into the tent had his door chain half-unfastened, leaving only his two eyes exposed, blinking as he observed the activities of the lion group.
“Chuckle!”
The chicken, who was cornered by the lion, finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore and let out a loud cry and flew up. When the chicken moved, the lion also moved, howling loudly and leaping towards the chicken.
"Don't eat it!" The young monk finally rushed out of the tent, swung his trekking pole, and smashed it in front of the lion, successfully preventing it from pouncing on Chicken Strong. Survival instincts sent Chicken Strong flying, flapping its wings and clucking, but it missed the target and plummeted straight into the lake. The people in the livestream cried out in fear. Since the young monk named it Chicken Strong, everyone has come to consider it part of the rolling team.
"Chickens can't swim."
I don't know who posted this comment, but everyone thought the chicken would sink, but when they looked closely, they all laughed. It turned out that there was a layer of water plants floating on the lake where the chicken jumped into. This saved the chicken, but the monk's action angered the lion.
Baring fangs,
"The little monk is preparing to wait for the lions to retreat on their own."
"Do you think people who eat meat will change to chanting Buddha's name?"
These words in the live broadcast room expressed the lion's thoughts. Sure enough, the lion, having already discovered the little monk, would retreat.
“Ouch!”
With another long roar, the lion strode forward, seemingly unhurried. This was the demeanor of a desert king.
The little monk stepped back repeatedly, his wristwatch facing the lion, almost crying. At this time, the lion's second roar startled the others out, and the people in the tents quickly got out, shouting as they got out:
"What's wrong? Is there a lion?"
"Why is the lion's roar so close?"
"Where are the lions?"
The inquiring voices in different languages and the big movements successfully diverted the lions' attention. A dozen lions stretched and shook their maneless heads. A leading lion roared, and then a dozen lions slowly walked towards the group of people.
Live broadcast room: ...
"Haha, ahem," the little monk cried and laughed. He laughed because the lions hadn't come looking for him, and cried because the lion that was confronting the hen was still staring at him and slowly approaching. Its fierce eyes were fixed on the little monk, as if it would pounce if he moved.
Sweat streamed down his forehead, and the monk didn't dare wipe it away. A few drops of sweat slid across his eyes and sank into his eye sockets, causing a slight sting. The monk didn't dare go back to the tent, so he turned slightly and happened to be on the left side of the lion group.
Everyone in the live broadcast room was stunned by his actions.
"Is the little monk crazy? If you retreat like this, there will be lions in front and lion packs behind you!"
"Look carefully, he can't retreat to the right, because my sister's tent is on the right."
Only then did everyone remember that Lin Zhinan was there.
"Oh my God, where is my brother? Come back soon!"
"Just now, he and Xia En were chatting with the locals. On the way back, he even picked up half a bag of cactus and some berries. But now he's back. He only has one more sand dune to climb back."
A1 live broadcast room audience: “?”
“So there are indigenous people here?”
"This is the border and a water source. Is it strange that someone lives here?"
"I just wonder why my brother is everywhere there are people."
"No, with so many lions, what's the point of my brother coming back?"
"Kick one and punch a bunch?"
The audience in the live broadcast room was also anxious. The young monk was almost going crazy. He had grown up in the mountains and knew the habits of animals very well. The lion was already a little impatient. It was shaking its head, its front legs stiff, and its hind legs slightly bent, ready to attack at any time.
"ah!"
Many people in the livestream and on the scene screamed simultaneously as the lions confronting the little monk and those heading to other teams leaped up simultaneously and pounced on the contestants. Having competed in national and regional competitions, the participants were already somewhat capable of self-preservation. The anesthetic needles, already prepared, were swiftly deployed, and in an instant, the livestream witnessed the shocking spectacle of the lions swooping down.
The powerful anesthetic worked very well. After entering the flesh, it first slowed down the lion's pace, and within a few steps, it successfully made the lion fall to the ground. This only hindered the lion's movement, but did not make them fall asleep instantly. For a while, the lion's howling resounded throughout the lakeshore.
However, three lions managed to escape the anesthetic injections, with the most affected being the nearby Kangaroos. Two of the lions, influenced by the others, howled and charged at the Kangaroos. The Kangaroos' David and Dejo were stunned, the former falling to the ground while the latter, with a loud cry, turned and ran.
As the lion approached the two men, the crew, who had been lying in wait, instantly brought the lion down. A drone overhead also dropped a large net, covering the lion tightly.
The remaining lion that escaped the net was the one that was confronting the little monk. Because the distance between the man and the lion was still a bit far, after the little monk missed the shot, he saw that the lion was about to move but had not yet pounced, so he ran away, shouting as he ran, "You don't need to do anything, brother will come back to save me."
Live broadcast room: ...
Program crew: “?”
The little monk was born in the mountains, so he ran at an astonishing speed. The people in the live broadcast room only saw a shadow rush past, and then the man disappeared. Even the lion chasing him was stunned for a moment, as if it didn't understand why its prey suddenly disappeared.
The little monk ran as fast as the wind, and looked back to see if the lion had caught up with him. If not, he would have to run back and not let it go to find Lin Zhinan.
The lion's persistence in its pursuit of prey freed the monk from worries. It came and chased him. The man and the lion chased each other on the sand. The live broadcast room was heartbroken watching, and the production team was also a little embarrassed.
The little monk ran away and shouted to stop them from taking action.
If I don’t take action, what if something happens to the little monk?
While he was struggling, the little monk ran madly up the hill, rushing up for his life, and happened to bump into Chu Huaiqin who was climbing over the sand dune.
"Ahhh, Lion, help me!"
The little monk's shouts broke the wind, and his legs, like two wheels of fire, whizzed past Chu Huaiqin. Now it was Chu Huaiqin and Xia Entang facing the oncoming lion. It was so sudden that there was no time to prepare an anesthetic needle. The first thing Chu Huaiqin could do was sweep his long legs across, sweeping the soft sand into a curtain and charging straight at the lion.
“Ouch!”
The lion roared, and Xia Entang had already pulled Chu Huaiqin to the side, raising his wrist to inject an anesthetic needle. The lion, which was about to pounce, paused for a moment because of the sand curtain, then felt a pain in its neck. Before it could turn around, its limbs went numb and the huge lion fell to the ground.
The two coordinated their movements perfectly. If the lion hadn't appeared suddenly, everyone in the live broadcast room would have thought that the two had rehearsed it.
The shot lion had been unwilling to give in and had been whining at Chu Huaiqin and the others, but now it was as obedient as a cat. Chu Huaiqin had an idea and approached the lion, squatting down and gently rubbing its head with his hand: "Go to sleep!"
The unwilling lion finally slowly closed its eyes, not knowing whether intentionally or unintentionally, it rubbed its head against Chu Huaiqin and closed its eyes.
Xia Entropy: ...
The incident with the dozen or so lions was easy to resolve, although there were some dangerous moments. It was not easy, but it was resolved quickly.
The program staff came up to move the lions. These lions will be transported away by the program team, and after the sedatives are removed, they will be released after the contestants leave. Regarding this situation, the program team has already applied to the local authorities. In view of the desert maintenance funds provided by the program team and the vegetation planted along the program route as early as a year ago, which has brought many benefits to the desert, the local officials are still very accommodating to the program team.
The little monk sat on the ground motionless, sniffing as he looked at Chu Huaiqin.
"Brother, brother, it's a good thing you came back. I was so scared, woohoo! I thought I would be eaten." The little monk wiped away his non-existent tears.
"I see you run pretty fast." Chu Huaiqin said with a smile.
"I'm afraid of being eaten!" said the little monk bitterly, stretching out his hand to Chu Huaiqin.
Xia En, who was standing by, raised his eyebrows and reached out to pull the man up.
"Kangaroo David and Dejo are out. Kangaroos David and Dejo are out."
"The players who made it to the top 20 in the global competition are: Chu Huaiqin and Xia Entropy from China in the Asian region... Will Shi and Li Man from Sam in the North American region... Abadi from Ali in the African region..."
The drone suddenly issued an announcement. The first one was clear to everyone: the two had been rescued by the production team and had been eliminated from the initial stage, which was expected. The monk had been running away, refusing to intervene, for this very reason. The second announcement sent the livestream into a frenzy. Unbeknownst to them, the show had reached the top 20, which meant there would be a final round of 15, a final round of 10, and a final round of 5.
The final five games, also known as the championship games, have finally arrived.
Can the Chinese team break the curse of the previous five years and advance to the top 15?
Not long after the announcement was made, the Chinese authorities also announced the news. The whole country was in an uproar. This day had finally arrived.
The author has something to say: The next part is the final volume, yes, it will be finished soon.
