Shennongjia was located in the northern part of Xiangbei Province. More than 90% of the land was forested, and the forest coverage was as high as 80%. It was one of the most well-preserved primeval forests in China.
Someone even took a photo of a hairy savage in Shennongjia, causing a heated discussion.
Animals that were rarely seen were not uncommon there.
Due to its reputation, it attracted a large number of tourists. It was even regarded as a paradise for poachers.
In order to prevent the ecosystem from being destroyed, some restrictions were gradually put in place. The flow of people entering was clearly controlled.
"Look, that's … a monkey!"
Upon entering the forest, Xiao Feifei was like a child freed from all restraints. Everything she saw was strange.
The smile on her face never disappeared. Under the cover of the green trees, she looked like a forest elf.
"Be careful, that's a short-tailed monkey."
Ye Lingchen walked behind and reminded, "This monkey is very mischievous and unfriendly. Not only does it like to snatch things, but it also likes to lift up pretty girls' skirts."
"That means it's a perverted monkey." Xiao Feifei giggled.
"You can say that."
As if to verify Ye Lingchen's words, the next moment, the monkey that was still on the tree suddenly moved. After a few leaps, it reached out its claws towards Xiao Feifei.
"Ah!" Xiao Feifei was shocked.
"Scram!"
Ye Lingchen had been paying attention from the side. He dashed forward and flung the short-tailed monkey away.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
The monkey squeaked a few times, then nimbly climbed up the tree and left.
"Let's go quickly. Monkeys are usually social animals and are extremely vengeful. We'll be in trouble if it comes with a large group," Ye Lingchen said.
The group did not dare to delay and sped up.
Along the way, they encountered many rare animals and plants. However, Ye Lingchen was able to name every single one of them. He could even explain their origins and uses. It was amazing.
Xiao Feifei looked at Ye Lingchen in surprise, "Wow, how do you know so much?"
"Brother Ye is indeed a top student from Capital University. You know a lot," Li Dao was also impressed.
Ye Lingchen smiled.
With the Prodigy System, he could learn a lot from any book. He was even more prodigy than a prodigy. This was child's play.
Looking up at the sky, Ye Lingchen frowned slightly. "Director Li, we've already gone deep enough. If we continue deeper, it'll be easy to lose our way. Moreover, there might be wild beasts in this kind of forest."
He was not afraid, but there was no lack of women in the team, so the risk was very high.
"Don't worry, Brother Ye. My team has found an empty space not far ahead. We've also surveyed the surroundings. There won't be any danger," Director Li said with a smile.
Ye Lingchen nodded. It seemed like Director Li was prepared.
After walking for another kilometer, the team finally stopped. Compared to other places, the trees here were slightly sparse, and the terrain was relatively flat. It was indeed the best place to set up camp.
"We'll be staying here for the next three days," Xiao Feifei said as she looked around.
"That's right. Because we have to film a night scene and there are no hotels nearby, we can only inconvenience everyone," Director Li said.
After a pause, he continued, "It's getting late. Everyone must be tired after a long day of traveling. Let's not film anymore. You are free to do whatever you want, but don't go too far."
Ye Lingchen looked around, then lifted his leg and walked towards a certain part of the forest.
After estimating the distance to the camp, he pulled out a string about 1.5 kilometers away from the camp. There were bells hanging on the string.
With the camp as the center and a radius of 1.5 kilometers, he unhurriedly spread out the string. Because he did not prepare too many bells, the distance between each bell was more than three meters.
The distance between the bells was a little too wide, but it was better than nothing.
By the time the bells were laid out, the sky was completely dark. The night in the forest was exceptionally quiet and dark.
"Ye Lingchen, what are you doing?"
Xiao Feifei had long noticed that and walked over curiously.
"If there are wild beasts around, these bells will sound a warning. It's better to be prepared," Ye Lingchen replied.
1.5 kilometers was considered a moderate distance. If there was wind, the sound of the bells would not be heard by everyone, but if it was forcefully touched, the sound of the bells would reach everyone's ears.
"You're too thoughtful." Xiao Feifei pursed her lips and smiled.
Ye Lingchen said calmly, "I just read some books on wilderness exploration and know a little. There's no harm in being careful."
"I've always heard people say that the more you know, the more reverence you'll feel. Brother Ye seems to be the same."
The one who spoke was a cameraman from the crew. His name was Zhao Han, and he was a very forthright person.
"It just so happens that I have nothing better to do, so I'm just setting it up."
Ye Lingchen smiled. Then, he saw Xiao Feifei frowning, her body fidgeting.
"Sister Feifei, wait for me."
Soon, Ye Lingchen plucked a handful of grass and handed it to Xiao Feifei.
"This is a mosquito repellent grass. Put it around when you sleep. That way, mosquitoes won't bother you."
"Thank you."
Xiao Feifei said in surprise.
The next day, the filming went smoothly.
In the forest, Ye Lingchen did not need a stunt double or a rope. He just wore a cloak and a mask, crawling and flying on the tree branches. Every move was executed in one go, and … it far exceeded expectations!
On the third day.
Ye Lingchen and Xiao Feifei's scene together was also one that was nearing the finale.
Xiao Feifei's white dress fluttered in the wind, like a person from a painting. Ye Lingchen stood opposite her, a complicated look under his mask.
In this scene, Xiao Feifei knew the mastermind behind the scenes.
"I didn't expect it to be you. Why is it you?"
"There are many things in this world that don't have a reason." Ye Lingchen's voice was filled with helplessness and sorrow.
"You … turn back!" Xiao Feifei bit her lip and looked at Ye Lingchen bitterly.
"I'm not wrong. How do I turn back?" Ye Lingchen's voice was calm and gentle, "Go. I won't kill you!"
"But I want to … kill you!"
Xiao Feifei drew her sword!
Cut!
"This scene, pass!"
Director Li breathed a sigh of relief. Although the dialogue was simple, it was mixed with the complicated love and hatred between the two. It was originally difficult to act out, but he did not expect Ye Lingchen and Xiao Feifei to be able to pull it off in one take.
The tacit understanding between the two of them was quite good.
"The next scene is a fight scene. Lingchen, it's all up to you now. Make sure your actions are as exciting as possible. Once you're done, you can call it a day." Director Li smiled and patted Ye Lingchen's shoulder.
Ring ring ring!
However, a gust of wind chime was heard.
The others did not notice it, but Ye Lingchen's expression changed drastically.
"Did you guys hear the wind chime just now?" Ye Lingchen asked in a deep voice.
"Wind chime?" Director Li was slightly taken aback. He did not notice it at all. "N-no …"
"Could it be the wind?" Someone asked.
"The wind just now wasn't strong enough for the wind chime to make such a sound." Ye Lingchen's expression was solemn, and he had Xiao Feifei stand behind him.
The next moment, a huge green figure appeared in everyone's line of sight.
"Ah! It's … it's a wolf! "
Terrified screams pierced through the air. Some of the more timid ones immediately went limp and fell to the ground.
"Ling … Lingchen, what do we do?" Xiao Feifei's face instantly turned pale. She did not even dare to imagine such a scene.
The wolf was nearly a meter tall, and its limbs were extremely muscular. Its eyes glowed with a faint green light, and it bared its teeth with saliva dripping down.
