There was just a faint growl, and after a while, the others thought they might have heard it wrong. "It may be the sound of the wind in the distance." The forest ranger reassured them.
However, Li Zhibai has quickly hid beside Bai Xinyan, and said with certainty: "It must be a tiger!"
The others didn't believe his words at first, thinking that Li Zhibai was overreacting, but seeing this team, they were still preparing to return. However, what they didn't expect was that after they walked for a while, they heard the beast's roar with a ferocious aura again. And this time it's much clearer than last time.
This time, people who hadn't taken it seriously could not help but change their faces slightly, and Li Zhibai was even more panicked: "We won't get closer to that tiger, will we?"
"It's okay. Even if we encounter a tiger, it will avoid it with so many of us." The forest guard was still very calm. After hearing what he said, he was so infected by Li Zhibai that he couldn't help but also started to be afraid The others also quickly calmed down. The group continued to walk down the mountain.
It's just that for some reason, they walked for a long time without going out, and the sky had darkened a little bit, and it even began to gradually become cloudy, with signs of heavy rain.
"What's the matter? According to the weather forecast, there is no possibility of rain today." Seeing the black clouds approaching and the light in the forest getting worse and worse, everyone was more worried than when they found out that there might be a tiger. In the mountains and forests of modern society, encountering bad weather is much more dangerous than encountering wild animals. On rainy days, dark roads are slippery, and it is troublesome to slip your feet, not to mention the case of thunder and lightning, or landslides caused by heavy rain, any one of which is unbearable for fragile human beings.
After the change of weather, the ranger's face became very ugly. According to his estimation, they walked for two or three hours, and they should have reached the edge of the forest, but now they seem to have lost their way. It's like spinning around in place. The ranger was afraid that other people might be worried, so he didn't say what they seemed to be taking a detour, but after looking at the compass and walking for a while, he finally said: "The weather is not very good, let's contact the people down the mountain to help."
The others were also a little flustered, so they quickly contacted, but found that the signal in the forest was very bad, and they couldn't even get through the phone. Even the specially prepared radio communication equipment had problems, and it was impossible to contact the people up and down the mountain.
"What, what should I do?!" Everyone panicked even more.
At this time, the dark clouds that had accumulated for a long time finally began to roll and collide, and the thunder suddenly rang, and the next moment, the pouring rain fell with a "crash". People poured a chill.
Although they brought raincoats, such a heavy rain, a thin raincoat can't stop much, and they were still greatly affected when they marched.
Threatened by heavy rain and lightning, the forest rangers could only take them to find a place to shelter from the rain. He has been walking in this forest for more than ten years, and he is still familiar with where he can take shelter from the rain. It's just that they seemed to have lost their way inexplicably before, and this time they don't know if they can find the place smoothly.
The forest ranger was very worried, but he didn't expect to find a half-sized cave in a short time, which was enough for them to take shelter from the rain for a while.
"This cave can't be some kind of animal's lair..." A staff member who was already quite startled couldn't help but said happily when he saw this.
"There are no traces of wild animals nearby, so it should be fine." The forest guard said and walked forward cautiously, "I'll go and have a look."
Li Zhibai was worried that there would be a tiger in the cave, so he didn't dare to go there for a while, but Bai Xinyan followed the ranger, and he followed after seeing the situation.
Fortunately, there was nothing in the cave, and there were no smells or traces of long-lived beasts.
A group of people entered the cave and finally took a breather. But it was still mid-spring, and even though they were wearing raincoats, they were still somewhat wet. At this moment, they couldn't help but feel the cold air penetrating into their bones. Although there is a place to shelter from the rain, I am still very uncomfortable.
More importantly, they seemed to be completely trapped on the mountain because of the heavy rain. Not only could they not go down the mountain by themselves, they couldn't even communicate with the outside world. Thinking of this, these people panicked.
"It's okay. It's raining and we can't get in touch. The people down the mountain will definitely find someone to pick us up." After walking with their group of directors on the mountain road for a day, it was actually tiring and cold, but they still tried their best to appease the others. "We should not be far from the mountain now."
The rangers couldn't say that they seemed to have gone the wrong way and encountered trouble, so they could only try their best to calmly comfort others together.
After all, they are all modern people who have never really encountered danger. Subconsciously, they still feel that nothing will happen to them. After being told that they feel that they will be saved soon, their state is still relatively stable.
Only Bai Xinyan had nothing to worry about but still frowned slightly, always feeling that something was wrong.
At this time, the people at the foot of the mountain had indeed discovered the problem. It was already evening, and it was almost time for the guests to come back as planned. Tang Yuying, who sprained her ankle in the morning, had already gone down the mountain smoothly, and Ai Qiao's group also came back on time. Only Bai Xinyan and his team not only didn't go down the mountain in time, they couldn't even get in touch!
Although they thought they might just be a little late, but out of worry, the people from the program team made preparations to go up the mountain to rescue them, and at the same time notified Bai Xinyan and Li Zhibai's managers.
After Zhang Kai learned about this incident, he was much more nervous than the staff for a while, so he immediately reported it to Yin Yan, and planned to follow the rescue team to find someone by himself if no one arrived later.
However, Yin Yan's reaction was more urgent than his. Even after confirming with Zhang Kai, Bai Xin said that they hadn't gone down the mountain yet and couldn't be contacted. There shouldn't be any danger. Yin Yan quickly arranged for a more professional rescue team. and equipment, and decided to go up to find someone first.
"They probably encountered something difficult in the mountains. Rescue by ordinary people is probably useless. I can know where Xin Yan is, so I will go to him first to solve the problem. After I notify you, the rescuers will come directly. " Yin Yan confessed to Zhuo Xuan and Zhang Kai.
Zhang Kai quickly agreed, and then told the program team: "Our chairman is also in M City. I heard that there may be an accident. Another team of rescuers has been arranged and has already gone up the mountain. If there is news, we will inform you at any time. .” Of course, Yin Yan is the only one going up the mountain now.
The others didn't expect Yin Yan to "make a fuss out of a molehill", and they didn't do much, so they specially called someone to rescue them. It seems that Bai Xinyan or Li Zhibai are definitely valued by the big boss.
And being able to pull up a qualified rescue team in a short period of time is not just something that can be done with money. The chairman of Xinghuan, who has always been extremely low-key, seems to have a rather complicated background.
Many people couldn't help thinking this in their hearts at the moment, and the person in charge quickly said that they would send out their rescuers immediately and would not wait any longer. After all, artists from other companies may have accidents in their shows, and they directly asked the company boss to arrange rescue. It would be unreasonable for their show crew to keep watching.
But Zhang Kai stopped him, saying that there is no need to rush up the mountain, and wait for some preliminary information to come back.
Although the person in charge didn't understand the reason for the other party's behavior, he was still persuaded by Zhang Kai. In fact, Zhang Kai was just afraid that they would cause trouble to Yin Yan if they went up. With Yin Yan's ability, since he knew where Bai Xinyan was, it would be easy to solve the problem.
At this time, the group of people trapped in the cave by the heavy rain encountered another big crisis—
Some other "thing" also thought of this cave to shelter from the rain! And this "thing" is none other than the tiger that Li Zhibai is terribly afraid of!
Due to the smell of mud and grass leaves splashed by the rain, coupled with his dislike of clothes sticking to his body, and most importantly, he was worried that his hair would be messed up by the wind and rain, which would affect his image, Li Zhibai For a while, he didn't notice any other auras approaching the cave.
It wasn't until the sensory cells that he ignored started to protest strongly that Li Zhibai was surprised. However, at this time, a huge yellow and black figure appeared at the entrance of the cave. Li Zhibai was not the only one who discovered him.
"Old old tiger!!" Someone uttered a terrified cry directly to Li Zhibai, which immediately made everyone's nerves tense up again after they had just relaxed. And this time it was even tighter. After all, it was a big tiger with fangs and sharp teeth, more than half its height!
Now even the ranger's face changed, let alone the other people. Trembling, weak legs, trembling and heart palpitations are all normal phenomena. And Li Zhibai, who had shown his fear of tigers to the fullest before, hid directly behind Bai Xinyan at this time, and almost uncontrollably changed back to his original shape.
Back then when he hadn't cultivated into a monster, he was so frightened by a tiger that he was almost eaten directly, and the psychological shadow left by him has not improved till now. Even if he can't beat or run a tiger now, he's still afraid.
I didn't expect to meet a tiger when I participated in a reality show. Could this show be against him? Li Zhibai didn't care that Bai Xinyan was actually a more timid rabbit than him, so he hid behind Bai Xinyan and refused to come out again.
"Don't be afraid, don't move around, it should just come to hide from the rain. There are so many of us, as long as we don't provoke it, it shouldn't take the initiative to attack." The forest ranger tried to stabilize his voice, comforting them in a low voice, and at the same time let everyone get closer to each other Some, make room for the tiger and hide away.
Maybe he was right. Seeing a group of people in the cave, the huge tiger didn't show any signs of attack. Instead, it confronted them silently for a while, and then slowly walked to the open space in the cave. , half lying down.
Seeing that the tiger really didn't attack them, and showed a peaceful attitude, the forest ranger breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to tell them to be more careful in the future, but he saw something that made his heart jump out of his throat. scene—
For some reason, Bai Xinyan suddenly approached the tiger, and even seemed to want to reach out and touch him. And the tiger was really stimulated, stood up all of a sudden, put on a defensive posture towards Bai Xinyan, and let out a threatening growl.
"What are you doing! Come back quickly!" The forest ranger was almost blinded, thinking that Bai Xinyan, this child has always been obedient, why did he suddenly act dead!
However, Bai Xinyan didn't listen to him, nor did he show a look of fear. Instead, he said suddenly: "I just said that something is wrong. How could a normal tiger treat me like this!"
