14: Dilraba's differential treatment

Yang Mi boldly walked to Wu Jing's side. He pointed his finger at a bag of white powder beneath the Skeleton.

Wu Jing picked it up and examined it carefully, then opened it and took a sniff.

His expression suddenly changed.

"This is flour."

As soon as he spoke, the faces of Yang Mi, Reba behind her, and Zhang Dada turned pale.

Flour—that's a Banned Substance!

How could these skeletons have this stuff? Could... could they have been transporting this flour?

[Holy crap! What's going on? Isn't this an outdoor adventure? Why are we seeing flour? Is this even allowed to be broadcast?]

[My god! Did they change genres? From outdoor adventure to a legal education program?]

[This stuff shouldn't be touched. Will the celebrities' careers be affected now that they've encountered it?]

[Affect what careers? It's not like they're the ones dealing it. What's the big deal?]

[I really want to know now, how did these people get here?]

[Even though they're dead, I don't think their deaths were undeserved. These people would have been a menace if they were alive!]

When the fans heard it was flour, they were all extremely indignant.

Some even felt a sense of relief.

"These people probably came here secretly; they just didn't expect to die here."

Wu Jing fell silent for a moment before speculating.

"Giant Pythons swallow their prey whole; there wouldn't be bite marks. These people weren't killed by a Giant Python."

Yang Mi's brows furrowed, her expression becoming solemn.

"Sister Mi, do you mean there's another creature? And a very aggressive one? Did these people die at the hands of those creatures?"

Reba asked uncertainly after hearing this.

Did that mean it was still very dangerous?

"Huh? There's another creature? Then we should leave quickly, right?"

Meng Ziyi urged nervously upon hearing this.

Ye Bai's eyes, however, were fixed on the skeletons.

Just then—

A small black figure flashed by.

Ye Bai's eyes darkened slightly.

"Brother Jing, Sister Mi, let's leave right away. We shouldn't stay here; it's just too terrifying."

Huang Zitao was standing far away from the bones, not wanting to get even a step closer.

Now that they heard there were other creatures, they didn't want to stay for another second, mainly because they didn't want a repeat of the previous terrifying moment.

"Are you really that scared?"

Hearing Huang Zitao and seeing their behavior, Wu Jing couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed; they weren't even as brave as Yang Mi, a girl.

Getting scared like that by a pile of bones was truly embarrassing.

"It's not about being scared, look."

Hua Chenyu spoke up before Huang Zitao could, pointing at the sky above.

This place was in a Rainforest region, where the weather changed rapidly. It could be sunny in the morning and overcast in the afternoon, just like now.

Dark clouds had already gathered above them, threatening a storm; it could rain at any moment.

"Brother Jing, let's find a place to take shelter. If it rains and we catch a cold from the chill, that would be really bad."

Zhang Dada added from the side.

He looked at the pile of Skeletons with disgust. He didn't want to stay for another second either and was looking for any excuse to leave immediately.

Wu Jing first looked at the dark clouds above. They really couldn't afford to delay here, so he led everyone deeper into the forest.

As for the Skeletons, they had nothing to do with them.

Wu Jing walked in front with his Dagger, followed by Zhang Dada, Cai Xukun, Hua Chenyu, and Huang Zitao. Yang Mi, Reba, and Yang Chaoyue stayed closer to Ye Bai.

Yang Chaoyue kept muttering in Ye Bai's ear. Most of it was her talking to herself, and Ye Bai simply ignored her, showing no intention of responding.

Rumble!!

Thunder boomed directly overhead, making everyone instinctively shrink their necks.

It felt as if the thunder was very close to them.

"Brother Jing, what should we do? We need to find shelter as soon as possible. With all this lightning and thunder, if we take shelter under a big tree, we might get struck."

"I don't want to be struck dead by lightning."

Zhang Dada continued to prattle on behind Wu Jing.

Wu Jing was searching everywhere for a place to take shelter. He was already anxious, and with Zhang Dada's constant chattering behind him... a surge of irritation rose in his heart.

[Holy crap! Can this Zhang Dada just shut up? He's so annoying!]

[Is he the only one with a mouth? It's so annoying. Never mind Brother Jing being impatient, even I'm getting annoyed. He can't help, yet he's still f*cking rambling!!]

[Don't talk about my Great One like that. He's just worried. Taking shelter from rain in lightning is dangerous; he's just reminding Brother Jing.]

[Oh, thank you very much! That's common sense. Who doesn't know it's dangerous? Do you really need to say it?]

[You're just as annoying as Zhang Dada. So irritating.]

The fans couldn't stand Zhang Dada's non-stop talking, let alone Wu Jing and the others.

Wu Jing's fans expressed their sympathy for him.

Meanwhile, inside the forest.

Wu Jing happened to see a dark cave on the hillside. His heart leaped with joy, and he hurried toward the slope.

Boom—

"Hurry, get inside."

Wu Jing reached the cave entrance and used his flashlight to take a quick look. It was quite spacious, at least dozens of square meters in size. There was a Passage further inside, but it was too dark to see clearly. There was also a faint foul smell in the air.

A bad smell was better than getting soaked. The edge of the cave was large enough to accommodate all of them.

Thinking of this, Wu Jing quickly turned around and shouted to the group behind him, "I found a cave for shelter! Hurry over!"

Hearing that there was a place to take shelter, the others quickened their pace.

As the last Cameraman entered the cave, the sky began to drizzle, then turned into a heavy downpour.

Raindrops pattered onto the grass and leaves, accompanied by occasional claps of thunder.

Wu Jing, Yang Mi, and the others felt a wave of relief. Fortunately, they had made it in time; if they had actually fallen ill, it would have been a real problem.

The group sat on the ground, feeling their empty stomachs, and took out food to start eating.

"This stuff is so dry; it tastes awful."

Zhang Dada ate the Compressed Dry Rations in his hand with a look of disgust. The Production Team was really stingy; they could at least have provided some instant food!

At least something warm. Eating this makes my stomach feel uneasy.

"Stop grumbling. Be glad there's anything to eat at all."

Hearing Zhang Dada's low mumbling, Hua Chenyu added from the side, "Look at the situation we're in, and you're still thinking about a hot meal."

Just then—

Reba opened one of the boxes, which was filled with many snacks. Besides instant food, there was plenty of Jerky, and most importantly, her favorite Yogurt Cubes.

"Sister Mi, Lu Lu, Chaoyue, and Ziyi, take whatever you want to eat." Reba took out a few bags of Jerky and walked over to Ye Bai.

"Ye Bai, here, have some. This is my favorite; I'm giving it to you."

Faced with the offered Jerky, Ye Bai didn't even look at it. Instead, he kept staring at the bushes outside, showing no intention of taking it.

[Wait, what is Ye Bai doing? He's so rude. Reba is offering him something, so why won't he take it? He really doesn't know what's good for him!]
