Everyone present was stunned, staring at the snake nailed to the tree with their mouths open.
Ran Wan turned around and looked behind her in shock. Before she could recover from the fear of the knife grazing her cheek, she was once again stunned by the dead snake.
She asked tremblingly:
"This... this is..."
The instructor used the branch in his hand to move the snake corpse, his eyes fell on its inverted triangular head, and his expression became solemn:
"This is an arboreal spear-headed viper that is highly venomous. Just a few dozen milligrams of venom can kill a person bitten within five hours."
Ran Wan held the hand she had just placed on the branch in panic, the color on her beautiful little face faded from fear.
The instructor turned around and taught her a stern lesson: "I have told everyone about the precautions before entering the forest. Never reach out to grab or touch branches and stones that have not been inspected in advance. The virgin forest is full of dangers, even with our instructors. It’s also difficult to keep an eye on you all the time, so you must be careful at all times, otherwise you may really die here.”
The guests who were also frightened nodded one after another and promised again and again that they would be absolutely careful.
Shen Kong, on the other hand, was sitting on the stone, falling into deep self-doubt and self-reflection.
Ever since he threw the knife without restraining his hand, he began to frantically think about what to do next in order to maintain his image as a nuisance.
In fact, in the original plot, the reason why Meng Mingxuan was eliminated by Han Li so quickly, in addition to his identity as a chess piece, was that he began to commit suicide crazily - as a villain who finally succeeded, after being After being adopted, Meng Mingxuan received countless resources, money and status that he could not even imagine before. Meng Mingxuan was quickly carried away and began to be complacent and pampered. At first, Han Li could tolerate him because he was somewhat useful. And after he completely eradicated the three members of the Han family, it would be meaningless to keep such a pretentious and vain vase around him, so Han Li neatly sent him to fill the river.
And Shen Kong chose this character from the beginning, not because of anything else, but simply because it was the easiest way to play.
As a result, I didn’t expect that it would be a problem to maintain it now...
The instructor raised his hand to hold the saber firmly nailed to the snake's body, and pulled it out with force -
The saber didn't move at all.
He was a little embarrassed for a moment, so he changed his position, holding down the branch with one hand and the handle of the knife with the other, and finally pulled out the handle of the knife that was deeply embedded in the trunk.
Shen Kong, who had a panoramic view of this scene, couldn't bear to look at it and moved his eyes away. A clear thought slowly emerged in his mind:
—Can I request that this section not be broadcast
But according to the current situation, Shen Kong was really in a difficult position, so he had no choice but to act hard and rack his brains to lie.
The instructor wiped away the remaining blood on the blade and then walked towards Shen Kong.
Before he could speak, he saw the other party grabbing the corner of his clothes with a frightened look on his face, and then he asked stammeringly with a pale face:
"Um, um... is the snake dead?"
The instructor was stunned and subconsciously replied: "Well... dead."
Shen Kong breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of joy of surviving the disaster surged on his nervous face: "Great, I was scared to death just now. If I wasn't careful..."
The instructor was overwhelmed by such a sudden turn of events. He answered subconsciously: "Huh? Are you afraid of snakes?"
Shen Keng used his best acting skills and nodded desperately. He tightened his fingers on the instructor's clothes and looked at him with an expression of fear and panic. His voice was trembling and tight:
"Yes, yes, snakes are what I'm most afraid of."
The instructor didn't react. He looked down at Shen Kong who was sitting on the stone, and asked in confusion:
"Huh?... What about this knife? I think you can throw it quite accurately..."
There was a blush on the young man's handsome face. He scratched his hair in embarrassment and explained:
"I have practiced throwing darts for filming before. I thought I had forgotten about it. Maybe this time I suddenly saw a snake and my potential was suddenly awakened..."
His tone was sincere, and his pair of amber pupils flashed with an exceptionally innocent look under the mottled light in the forest, making it almost impossible to question the authenticity of his words.
The instructor was also led astray by his misleading language and demeanor, and couldn't help but follow his words:
"Then...then you'd better not throw it away casually in the future. After all, you were lucky and didn't hurt anyone this time. It won't be the same next time."
Shen Kong nodded vigorously, reached out and took the knife from the instructor's hand, feeling slightly relieved.
—Except for the two instructors, everyone present had no experience in surviving in the wild, let alone seeing whether the angle and strength of the blade driving into the tree stump were professional, so the instructors only had to guide the instructor to characterize the whole thing as a case of fear. As soon as the potential exploded, others would not question anything. However, Shen Kong was not sure whether there was a camera to record the scene completely. After all, there might be a few among the tens of thousands of viewers. He is a knowledgeable person, not to mention that there is Mr. Han hanging above his head.
Seeing that the most experienced instructor had spoken, the others did not continue to dwell on this topic. After emphasizing the precautions three times, the group set off again and followed the established route.
Shen Kong walked at the end of the team with his backpack on his back. As he walked, he was thinking about how to talk to the show crew later.
As a result, before he had taken a few steps, he felt his sleeve being gently pulled.
Shen Kong looked doubtfully in the direction where the force came from, and saw Ran Wan walking side by side with him. She had recovered from the fright just now, her palm-sized white face was flushed with excitement, and she was filled with resentment just now. The grievances and grievances seemed to have disappeared, and a pair of shining beautiful eyes looked at him shyly.
She pursed her lips and whispered:
"Well, thank you very much just now."
Shen Kong shook his head, trying to shirk the credit away from himself: "No, no, you don't have to thank me. I was actually just scared for a moment and acted on instinct..."
The blush on Ran Wan's face deepened: "Are you afraid that I will be bitten?"
Shen Kong: "..."
He couldn't bear to look away and replied dryly: "... It's okay if you think so."
The penultimate position in the team was no longer safe. Shen Kong tried to speed up and move toward the front of the team, but within two steps, Zhuang Xiangyang, who was next to him, disrupted his plan.
Zhuang Xiangyang made his debut through the popular men's team audition. Although he is very popular, he is still very young. He has a young man's enthusiasm and curiosity about everything around him. He moved to Shen Kong and spoke with a mysterious The tone said:
"Brother Mingxuan, what you did just now was so powerful. How did you do it?"
The corners of Shen Kong's mouth twitched, he glanced sideways at him, and asked, "Are you afraid of anything?"
Zhuang Xiangyang thought seriously, then turned his head to make sure there was no one else around him, and then lowered his voice and said:
"Well, clown..."
Shen Kong gave a gentle smile: "Then imagine that you are locked up alone in a room full of clowns late at night. Do you feel as if you can do anything?"
Zhuang Xiangyang's steps suddenly stopped and his face turned pale. He was obviously frightened by the picture that suddenly appeared in his mind.
Shen Kong's mood subtly improved, and even his steps became much brisker.
After walking for two hours in the mountain forest, they finally arrived at the resting point arranged for them by the program team. It was at the edge of the intersection of the dense forest and the stream. The green grass as soft as a carpet looked particularly beautiful under the dappled bright sunshine. The sound of gurgling water came from not far away, as if it could wash away the fatigue of people's body and mind. After trekking for several hours, the guests were very tired. They cheered and then found various places to sit down and rest. Others were more relaxed and simply lay down on the grass.
But before everyone could rest for long, they were cruelly called by the instructor.
"Do you still remember the name of our show?"
"...Seven Days in the Wilderness Challenge..."
Everyone replied feebly and sparsely.
The instructor was still as confident as before: "Yes! That's right! Our purpose is to let everyone adapt to survival in the wilderness, overcome extreme conditions, and survive on their own for seven days. So, get up quickly, now is the time Go and prepare the ingredients for today’s lunch! If you don’t do it, there will be no food!”
The guests suddenly burst into wailing.
But their luggage was prepared by the program team, and no one had the chance to bring food in, so now the only hope for eating was to do it themselves.
The instructor assigned the tasks and sent the guests out in groups of two. One group was responsible for picking wild vegetables and fruits, one group was responsible for collecting firewood, and the other group was responsible for catching fish.
Shen Kong was assigned to the fish-catching group because of his "good accuracy".
He and Duan Mingcheng walked towards the river together. As they approached, the sound of rushing water became clearer. After pushing aside the last clump of trees, the entire river finally came into view, and the rapid water washed away the stones. The stacked riverbed produced snow-white water splashes and foam on the stones. A few big black fish jumped out of the clear water from time to time, and the dark fish scales shone beautifully in the sun.
Duan Mingcheng was full of energy and rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs to get ready to fish.
This time Shen Kong made up his mind not to show off anymore, and just waved the fishing tools in his hands in the water, preparing to escape by paddling. However, Duan Mingcheng looked mature and steady, but he was really not good at catching fish. His movements in the river were even more clumsy than his. Even the fish that Shen Kong deliberately drove into his net could be released in a hurry by him. For about twenty minutes, the two of them caught nothing.
The smile on Shen Kong's face did not change, and he wanted to roll his eyes in anger.
Although he prides himself on being in good physical condition, he has been hungry since five o'clock in the morning!
He turned his head and glanced at the camera, then turned slightly to the side to block one of the cameras facing him, and suddenly raised his voice and said:
"Brother Mingcheng, behind you! Big fish!"
When Duan Mingcheng hurriedly turned around to look for traces of the big fish, Shen Kong took the opportunity to flip his wrist and accurately used the net in his hand to pull out a black fish jumping in the rapid water, and then skillfully and quickly pushed the fish's head to the stone. The last knock knocked it unconscious.
Using the cover of the current, he threw the unconscious fish into Duan Mingcheng's net. The whole set of movements was smooth and smooth, and the process took no more than twenty seconds.
Duan Mingcheng felt his hands sink. He turned his head and looked at his fishing net with a sudden extra fish in surprise. He couldn't help but froze.
Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard Shen Kong shouting in surprise from the side:
"Wow! Brother Mingcheng! You caught a fish! It's amazing!"
Duan Mingcheng raised the fishing net in front of his eyes and shook it with confusion: "It seems...? But... why doesn't it move?"
Ordinary fish will struggle desperately when caught in a fishing net, twisting their smooth and powerful bodies to try to jump out of the net. The force is so great that if they are not careful, they will escape from their hands and escape far away with the current. Just now Duan Mingcheng had This was how he released the fish that entered his net both times, but the fish in his hand now was completely different. It just lay lifeless at the bottom of the net, motionless as if dead.
Duan Mingcheng frowned: "Isn't it a dead fish?"
Shen Kong was silent for a while, and then explained with a calm expression: "It's impossible. I just saw it jumping out of the water alive. It was probably too scared of people and was frightened. I think it might have been hit by the current and hit the rocks. Knocked out."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fish in Duan Mingcheng's net seemed to finally wake up and waggled its tail.
Duan Mingcheng accepted this explanation with a happy smile on his face: "Then I am very lucky!"
Next, Shen Kong repeated the previous routine several times. Within ten minutes, Duan Mingcheng caught three stupid fish that were "knocked unconscious on the rocks". He weighed the heavy fishing net in his hand and smiled happily. From ear to ear:
"I think our fortunes have turned around this time! These three items should be enough for us. Let's go back and show them our results."
Shen Kong smiled and nodded, and said cooperatively:
"Thanks to brother Mingcheng this time. Your fishing skills are very good. I didn't even help you."
Duan Mingcheng shook his head: "How could it be possible? Without Mingxuan's help in catching fish, we wouldn't have been able to harvest so much."
Shen Kong had a perfect smile on his face, and he also declined modestly.
The two returned home with a full load.
The other people who went to collect firewood and fruits had already returned. When they saw the figures of Shen Kong and Duan Mingcheng and the big fish in their hands, everyone was very surprised and clapped happily.
Only the instructor was stunned for two seconds when he took the fishing net, and asked with some confusion:
"You fish...why are you so lifeless?"
Three fish of different sizes were lying on top of each other at the bottom of the net, their mouths constantly opening and closing, and their tails occasionally waving feebly, looking very weak.
Duan Mingcheng said proudly:
"These are stupid fish that were knocked unconscious by the current. Our luck this time is extraordinary!"
Instructor: "???"
Is there such an operation
Shen Kong, who was walking behind Duan Mingcheng, turned his head to look at the sky and the air without changing his expression, and then quietly hid his hand with the scales knocked off the fish behind his back.
The author has something to say: Shen Kong: When it’s over, he brushes off his clothes and goes away, hiding his merits and fame.
