If there was only one person, the atmosphere would be really scary. Xie Sen looked at MeiIn's tall back and felt very relieved.
MeiIn checked the bracelet from time to time and reminded the people behind to pay attention to their feet in case they stepped into a hole.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of withered leaves. The soil was wet and soft, and there was a slight sinking feeling with every step. It was very tiring to walk like this. The air in the forest was stuffy. An hour later, Xie Sen was sweating profusely. MeiIn's back was also soaked.
Xie Sen panted and tried his best to control his breathing to keep up with MeiIn's footsteps. He looked back at Bai Jiao and Long Teng. Bai Jiao was still calm and did not sweat at all. Long Teng was also sweating like him.
Xie Sen looked at Bai Jiao enviously. He wiped his sweat and looked up at the road ahead.
"Wow! It's so beautiful. "
Not far from the right, there was a plant that was half the height of a person in the green forest. At the top of the plant, there was a flower that was as big as a soup bowl. It was fiery red and looked very bright. Xie Sen could not help but praise it.
MeiIn walked to the side of the flower. A beast-like mouth suddenly opened in the middle of the flower's petals and bent its branches to bite MeiIn's arm.
Xie Sen was stunned by this scene. He took a deep breath and was about to shout, "Be careful!" when MeiIn took a step back and kicked the flower sideways. The flower fell to the ground with its mouth facing the ground.
The flower's branches were bent into a thin and tall 'N' shape, but it did not break. The next moment, it bounced up like a spring. The flower opened its mouth and spat out red juice at MeiIn.
Xie Sen's eyes widened. This kind of thing must be poisonous.
MeiIn reacted quickly and jumped forward to avoid it. Bai Jiao quickly walked past Xie Sen. Just as the juice was about to fall on the tree trunk opposite the flower, he held an umbrella-shaped object in his hand and stuck it to the tree trunk.
When the juice fell into the umbrella, Bai Jiao lifted the umbrella upside down and quickly removed the umbrella from its holder. He closed the umbrella around the perimeter and tied it tightly with a string.
A smile appeared on his handsome face. "I've been interested in carnivorous plants for a long time. This trip was indeed the right one."
Long Teng leaned close to his neck and looked at the juice collected on his hand. He was about to ask something when he put his hand on Bai Bai Jiao's shoulder. He immediately forgot what he wanted to ask and looked at Bai Jiao in surprise. "Wow, your body is so cool!"
Bai Jiao took his hand off his shoulder. "My body is naturally cold."
Long Teng's face was full of envy. He wiped his sweat and reached out to hug Bai Jiao. "Let's walk like this. It won't be so hot if I'm next to you."
Bai Jiao put the collected juice into the space and tilted his head to put some distance between him and Long Teng. "No, let go."
Long Teng pursed his lips and estimated the height of the two: "Are you tired? Or I can carry you on my back. I'm not tired. "
Bai Jiao rubbed his eyebrows. "I'm a female. I can sue you for harassment if you do this."
Long Teng blinked and withdrew his hand. His baby face was red. "I, I didn't. Don't talk nonsense!"
Bai Jiao was surprised to see him like this. He smiled and took out a shovel to dig the whole flower out of the ground and put it into the space. Then he said to MeiIn, "Let's hurry up."
They continued to walk for about an hour. At twelve o 'clock, Long Teng shouted at the end, "I'm so hungry. I want to eat!"
MeiIn looked at Xie Sen. Xie Sen's black hair was wet with sweat and he was panting. Seeing him look at him, he said bitterly, "I'm tired and hungry."
MeiIn opened his wristband and looked at it. "Hang in there. There's a suitable place to rest not far ahead on the left."
Five minutes later, the four of them arrived at the place MeiIn mentioned. It was a small hill in the forest.
Xie Sen took out the spicy jerky and Long Teng immediately came closer. MeiIn patted his shoulder. "I'll go hunting. You stay here to collect firewood and protect their safety."
Long Teng patted his chest. "Don't worry. Leave it to me."
Xie Sen was a little worried. "Are you going alone?"
"It's okay. I won't go far." MeiIn said and disappeared into the forest.
Long Teng was very agile. After a while, he collected a pile of firewood and continued to look at Xie Sen. Xie Sen handed him a lunchbox and another one to Bai Jiao.
"This isn't filling. It's just an appetizer."
Long Teng took out a piece of spicy jerky and chewed it. He slurred, "It's delicious."
Bai Jiao took a bite and said in surprise, "It's delicious!"
Xie Sen smiled. "I'm glad you like it."
MeiIn soon came back with two processed hares. Xie Sen asked, "Is there water nearby?"
"Yes, but it's not safe near water." He skillfully skewered the hares. He held one for himself and threw the other to Long Teng to roast.
As he roasted the hares, he operated his personal bracelet. Three messages sounded from the bracelets of the other teammates. He said, "I've sent you the map of the nearby area. If you get separated, follow the map."
Xie Sen clicked on the message. It was attached to a very detailed map. There were four small green dots on their current location.
After MeiIn finished speaking, he suddenly frowned. His finger swiped twice on the virtual screen above the bracelet. Then, he looked to the right with a fierce expression. "Someone's approaching."
Long Teng immediately got excited. "I'll go beat them up!"
Bai Jiao stood up. "You're really dedicated to catching up with us during our lunch break." He smiled and tilted his head to look at Long Teng. "You roast the hares and leave them to me. I'll test the medicine."
Xie Sen was still worried. "I'll go with you."
"No need." Bai Jiao smiled. "I'm fine."
He asked MeiIn to share the real-time location of the approaching people with him. Then, he ran into the dense forest on the right and disappeared into the tall plants in a short while.
He came back in less than five minutes. Xie Sen was relieved to see that he was fine. Seeing that the hares still needed some time to roast, he sat next to MeiIn and bent his legs to rest.
He had to rest every now and then. Otherwise, he would lose control of his body and it would be very troublesome.
MeiIn tilted his head to look at him, then turned back to continue roasting the hares. Long Teng chewed on the spicy jerky while roasting, his face full of satisfaction. Bai Jiao sat not far from him and closed his eyes to rest.
The surroundings quieted down. It was relaxing and comfortable.
"Ah ah ah … it's so itchy!"
"What's going on? Are you bitten by an insect? "
Ten minutes later, screams and shouts came from the right. Xie Sen was sleeping soundly. He couldn't help but frown. He tilted his head and asked drowsily, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. Go back to sleep."
Hearing MeiIn's voice, Xie Sen felt inexplicably relieved and allowed himself to continue sleeping.
Long Teng looked curiously at Bai Jiao, who had opened his eyes and had a faint smile on his face. He leaned closer and whispered, "What did you do?"
Bai Jiao looked at him in surprise, then looked at Xie Sen who was sleeping. His eyes flashed with a smile. He said softly, "Nothing. I just sprinkled some itchy powder on their path. It seems to be effective."
Long Teng grinned, revealing his bright white teeth. He gave a thumbs up. "You're amazing!"
Bai Jiao smiled and said modestly, "I still need to learn more."
Xie Sen slept for half an hour before he was woken up by MeiIn. He looked at the time and said in annoyance, "I'm late."
MeiIn handed him a rabbit leg. "It's okay. The meat has just been cooked. It's not good to eat raw meat."
Xie Sen took the rabbit leg. While eating, he suddenly remembered the screams he heard when he was half asleep, so he asked what was going on.
Long Teng quickly explained to him. Xie Sen gave Bai Jiao a thumbs up. "You're amazing."
The barbecued meat in the wild was not as good as the ones made at home. Fortunately, there was spicy jerky mixed with it. The four of them were very satisfied. After eating, they continued on their way.
The deeper they went, the more animals they saw on the way. Along the way, they encountered two long-haired wild boars. Long Teng took care of them.
MeiIn used a dagger to cut off the best meat from the boars and put it into the space for dinner.
Xie Sen calculated the time in his heart. He only slept for half an hour at noon, so he only had four hours left. When it was almost half past four, he grabbed MeiIn's arm.
MeiIn turned his head. "Are you not feeling well?"
Xie Sen said apologetically, "Can you carry me for half an hour?" He didn't want to be a burden at all, but he couldn't do anything about his body.
MeiIn squatted down directly. Xie Sen put his arms around his neck and leaned on his back. He said guiltily, "I'm sorry."
His face was close to MeiIn's neck. When he spoke, his breath brushed against MeiIn's neck. MeiIn's body stiffened slightly.
"It's okay. You're very light." MeiIn took a deep breath and said calmly.
Long Teng raised his hand and patted Bai Jiao's shoulder. Bai Jiao turned his head and saw a big smile. Long Teng said, "Let me carry you!"
"No need." Bai Jiao smiled. "Thank you."
Xie Sen set the timer at five o 'clock. He didn't care about anything else and directly fell asleep on MeiIn's back. He thought that he would have trouble falling asleep because of the discomfort, but he didn't expect that he would fall asleep so quickly.
He was woken up by the alarm clock at five o 'clock. He subconsciously rubbed his face. When he realized where he was, his face turned red. Fortunately, it was already dark around.
He patted MeiIn's shoulder. "Thank you. Can you put me down?"
"I can continue to carry you. I'm not tired." Xie Sen was too light compared to the hundreds of pounds of wild beasts.
"It's okay. I've already rested well."
MeiIn put Xie Sen down. He couldn't help but frown when there was one less person on his back. He always felt that something was missing. He looked back from time to time and only felt relieved when he saw Xie Sen.
At half past five, the forest was so dark that they couldn't even see their own fingers. They walked for another half an hour with lights. The howls of the wild beasts around them were getting louder and louder. From time to time, they could see green eyes in the dark.
MeiIn said, "We can't walk anymore. It'll be very dangerous if we keep walking."
They were like bright targets, and wild beasts could pounce on them at any time.
The four of them found an open space nearby and started a fire. Bai Jiao and Xie Sen barbecued meat. MeiIn and Long Teng collected a lot of firewood nearby, enough for them to use for the whole night.
As they were eating meat, they suddenly heard the screams of humans and the roars of wild beasts from their right. At the same time, the ground shook.
MeiIn's expression turned cold and he stood up.
After a while, four tall boys ran to the place where they were resting. The one in the front shouted, "They ran away!"
"The hyenas will catch up soon. What should we do?" The one in the back shouted.
"They must be nearby. We brought the wild beasts here as instructed. We've already completed the mission! Send a distress signal! "
"It's over. The signal can't be sent out!"
"Quick, the signal flare!"
