Chapter 297 Slow Down, Be Careful
Xu Ying rubbed his hands in a money-grubbing manner. "Director, is there any reward for the winner of the name tag tearing contest?"
"Of course!" The assistant director nodded. "Whichever team wins, the program team will prepare a one million yuan charity fund and donate it in the name of that team. The winning team members will receive a gold donation certificate!"
"You will also be awarded the title of Xishan Snow Mountain Ambassador and receive high exposure for the scenic area! Your latest work will be played on the TVs in our scenic area buses and waiting areas."
The second condition caught the eyes of several popular young actors such as Jia Yao and Su Zhining. This is a good opportunity to increase their popularity!
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, the loser will have to accept punishment!" The assistant director gave a wicked smile.
"What?" Jiayao, who always came in last in the game, shuddered. "There's actually a punishment?"
The assistant director had already produced a deck of cards: "Everyone on the losing side must draw a thrilling adventure card!"
"Big dare? The production team must have prepared some really big dare challenges that could make people socially frustrated." Lu Jinyu curled his lips and said, "Can't we just choose truth or not?"
Su Zhining immediately interrupted: "Because no one wants to hear your true feelings, okay?"
"I just want to see you embarrassed and humiliated."
Lu Jinyu glared at her: "How can you say that? We are teammates!"
"Sorry, I forgot." Su Zhining shrugged, then carelessly said something that offended everyone: "The other team, Teacher Yao is old, Ye Jie and Stationmaster Xu are girls and not strong enough, only Chen Su can fight, we are sure to win this time."
Ye Jie was unconvinced: "Who said I'm weak? Let's wait and see!"
The atmosphere was already tense, and the assistant director excitedly announced, "The Snowland Maze Name Tag Tearing Contest has officially begun!"
The four members of the attacking hunter team were blindfolded by the program staff and taken into the snow maze.
The defending Snow Mountain Guards were discussing at the starting point of the Snowy Maze who should be entrusted with the safekeeping of the "Heart of the Snowy Region" that they were escorting.
The four defenders formed a circle, and Chen Su held the crystal ball of the Heart of Snow in his palm.
"Each of us has a storage bag for our crystal balls." Chen Su looked up at the small square bags with drawstrings hanging from the waists of his three teammates. "Teacher Yao, please give me yours."
Yao Yingzhe hurriedly handed over his storage bag, but saw Chen Su digging up a handful of fresh snow from the snow.
His slender fingers kneaded the snow deftly, shaping the fluffy snowball into the exact same size as the crystal ball.
When the snowball was put into the small storage bag, even the weight was adjusted to perfection.
"The inner pocket of this storage bag is waterproof, but it needs to be reshaped regularly." Chen Su handed the imitation to Yao Yingzhe. "The snowball will deform when it melts, so it depends on Mr. Yao's craftsmanship."
Yao Yingzhe's eyes lit up when he took the "fake," and one corner of his wig even lifted up with excitement: "Great! Who would put the real crystal ball?"
After discussing for a while, everyone decided that Xu Ying could communicate with small animals, so Xu Ying might be the person who reached the end of the maze the fastest.
So Xu Ying gloriously took on the task of carrying the "Heart of the Snowland".
After assigning the tasks, the four of them walked into the maze together. The maze had walls made of snow and ice. As soon as they entered the maze, they found three forked roads in front of them.
Ye Jie scratched her head. "There are three paths in this maze right after we enter. How are we going to find the way?"
Chen Su looked at the team's ace, Xu Ying, with an inquiring look: "Should we split up?"
Xu Ying nodded and said, "Let's split up. If we encounter any small animals on the road, I'll send them to inform you and pass on the message."
"Okay, let's decide these three paths randomly!" Yao Yingzhe suggested using the rock-paper-scissors method, and the person who loses first gets to choose which path to go.
The results came out. Xu Ying took the middle aisle, Chen Su went to the left, and Yao Yingzhe and Ye Jie went to the right together.
"Everyone be careful!"
Xu Ying stepped into the middle ice corridor alone. The crystal ice wall reflected a hazy blue light. She had just turned the first corner.
"Bang!"
He bumped into a wall of people.
Xu Ying looked up along the opponent's black clothes, and unexpectedly ran into Qi Xiao, the killer of the Hunter Team, at the very beginning!
Qi Xiao obviously didn't expect to meet his "prey" so soon. His almond-shaped eyes widened slightly and his expression was stunned.
The live broadcast room instantly boiled over:
[Wow! Is it this exciting right from the start?!]
【This is a destined encounter! 】
[Stationmaster Xiao Xu chose the middle path himself ~ Maybe this is monkey poop? ]
Qi Ge's ears are completely red. Is it from the cold? Clearly not!
[Is the production team so cruel? They matched up my favorite couple right from the start!]
[Captain Chen, come quickly and protect Station Master Xu! I really want to see Captain Chen and Brother Qi fight each other!]
The air suddenly froze, and the moment their eyes met, even the sound of the wind stopped.
Xu Ying's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was the first to wake up from this silent confrontation.
She took advantage of Qi Xiao's moment of distraction and spun sideways like a nimble cat. The corner of her clothes brushed against his arm, bringing up a breeze.
"Want to run?" Qi Xiao's low voice sounded behind him, but Xu Ying had already rushed out in a flash.
Running forward along the winding maze, Xu Ying saw light at the entrance of the passage ahead. He was surprised and confused. Is it the exit?
However, when Xu Ying came out, he found a vast expanse of water in front of him and a maze on the other side.
The only way to get to the other side is to take the floating bridge over the water.
The water is very shallow, probably only up to the waist.
Xu Ying didn't care about anything else and stepped onto the floating bridge in a few steps.
You can't give away your life right at the start!
What's more, the "Heart of the Snowland" is still with her!
The floating bridge swayed under Xu Ying's feet, the wooden boards creaked, and her panicked figure was reflected on the water.
"Slow down, be careful!"
Qi Xiao's voice behind him suddenly changed its tone, and a hint of panic was mixed in his originally cold and magnetic voice.
He suddenly stopped, his hands unconsciously reaching forward to support himself, subconsciously trying to pull Xu Ying, "This bridge is unstable!"
Xu Ying turned around when she heard the voice and saw Qi Xiao standing there, his brows furrowed, his eyes fixed on the floating bridge under her feet.
The light reflected by the ice and snow cut out light and dark lines on his handsome face, making him look even more fierce and intimidating. However, Qi Xiao's eyes, which were usually as fierce as a wolf, were now filled with undisguised worry.
"Don't run away."
Qi Xiao's Adam's apple moved slightly, and his voice was low and tense, even with a soothing tone.
"I'm not going over there. Go slowly."
The barrage instantly exploded:
What's going on? Hunters tracking prey with friendly reminders?
[Help! Brother Qi's eyes are killing me! He usually looks so cool and aloof, but now he's so anxious.]
[Sisters, look at his hands! I'm so shocked by the way he wants to help but doesn't dare!]
Love is a hand that reaches out and then withdraws! (Faints from the knocks)
