22: Holy crap! Where did they get that boat?

She hadn't forgotten how Cai Xukun had pushed her behind him to save his own life, nearly costing her hers.

Cai Xukun wanted to argue back, but when he met Meng Ziyi's eyes, the words died in his throat.

Wu Jing's expression was incredibly grim; he used to think these little fresh meats were just rookies or weaklings, but now they seemed more like a pack of ungrateful, cold-blooded bastards.

It was one thing to be cowardly when trouble struck, but they were even shifting the blame.

If he had known he'd be participating in a show with people like this, he would have backed out immediately.

“Yang Chaoyue, is there really a need to be so dramatic? He's the reason we're in this mess! Am I not allowed to say a few words?”

Zhang Dada was even more indignant at this moment.

“Then how do you account for what you did to Sister Reba?” The disgust in Yang Chaoyue's eyes was plain to see.

“I...”

“Enough! What time do you think it is? Is shifting blame here going to help? Why don't you think of a solution instead of passively waiting to die?”

Yang Mi spoke up and interrupted Zhang Dada before he could finish his sentence.

Zhang Dada was left speechless.

Just then—

The rustling sound in the bushes behind them grew closer and closer.

This caused Reba, Yang Mi, and the others to fall into a state of panic.

[Oh no! Those bugs have caught up!!]

[Damn it! Ye Bai was right after all; these bugs really can track us. They found us from so far away!]

[Ultimately, it's all Wu Jing's fault. If it weren't for him, my Huahua wouldn't be in danger right now. What do we do? My Huahua is in danger!!]

[Bullshit! Brother Jing took the initiative to help them find a place to hide from the rain. Not only are they ungrateful, they have the nerve to blame him?]

[If anything happens to Kun Kun, I'm not done with Wu Jing. I'll definitely smear him and denounce his evil deeds.]

[You're full of it. Cai Xukun almost killed my Ziyi; should I be denouncing Cai Xukun then?]

[These so-called little fresh meats don't even have as much of a sense of justice as the girls. How do they have the face to blame Brother Jing? If not for him, they'd have been drenched like drowned rats long ago.]

[Aren't they drowned rats now anyway? Not just drowned rats, but drowned rats about to be killed at any moment!]

The fans were currently engaged in a fierce battle in the Live Stream Room. The fans of Zhang Dada, Cai Xukun, Huang Zitao, and Hua Chenyu all harbored intense disgust and hatred toward Wu Jing.

They believed it was all Wu Jing's fault... Meanwhile, Professor Han and his disciple Xiao Song, who were following the stream, were stunned when they saw the footage of the Corpse Beetles hunting the celebrities.

Is that thing really called a Corpse Beetle?

Both their heads were buzzing, especially Xiao Song, who felt like his brain was about to explode.

This Ye Bai actually knew what that bug was called; was everything he said true?

“Professor... everything Ye Bai said... turned out to be true... How did he know?”

Xiao Song suddenly snapped out of it and looked at the large screen of the Live Stream Room in shock, pointing at the footage.

“You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?”

Professor Han responded absent-mindedly, but a flicker of doubt crossed his eyes.

Corpse Beetle... Corpse Beetle... He felt like he had heard this term somewhere before.

“Professor... look quickly! This is bad, the Corpse Beetles are here!”

Xiao Song's sudden exclamation interrupted Professor Han's contemplation.

Inside the Rainforest.

The Corpse Beetles were closing in on them.

Reba and Meng Ziyi hurriedly stood behind Yang Mi, pressing themselves tightly against the riverbank.

“Sister Mi...”

Reba buried her head in Yang Mi's shoulder, not daring to watch the Corpse Beetles approach.

Yang Mi's face was deathly pale. She tried to steady her breathing and patted Reba's hand gently. “It's okay! We'll be fine.”

Zhang Dada and Huang Zitao were also standing right at the edge of the riverbank; one more step back and they would fall into the water.

Just as everyone saw the Corpse Beetles emerge from the grass, a loud splash reached their ears, sounding as if something had landed in the water.

Yang Mi and the others all looked toward the source of the sound, and their eyes widened in absolute shock.

They saw Ye Bai calmly pushing a boat into the water.

A boat... where on earth did he get a boat?

“Ye Bai... you...”

Yang Mi looked at him in shock, momentarily at a loss for how to even ask him.

“Get on!” Ye Bai glanced sideways at the Corpse Beetles behind him and spoke coldly.

“Right, right, right, get on!”

Cai Xukun was the first to react. He scrambled toward the boat, terrified that a slow step would result in him being eaten by the Corpse Beetles.

Zhang Dada followed, and then Huang Zitao and Hua Chenyu rushed over frantically.

They completely forgot how they had directed such vicious words toward Ye Bai earlier.

“Don't just stand there, get on! Hurry!”

Yang Mi didn't have time to question Ye Bai; instead, she urged the dazed Reba and Bai Lu's group of four.

Only then did Reba and the others snap out of it and run toward the small boat.

[Holy crap! There's actually a boat? How did he know it was there?]

[What's going on? Where did he get a boat from? Has he been here before?]

[My god! Ye Bai is so amazing! He actually found a way out in such a desperate situation.]

[Damn it! If there was a boat, he should have said so earlier. He scared my Kun Kun half to death. How hateful.]

[Are you even human? Don't be so vicious. He's saving your Kun Kun right now. Without him, your Kun Kun would be waiting for death!]

[Cai Xukun's character is questionable, and his fans' character is even worse.]

[Forget them! Da Mimi, run! Run faster!]

[Hurry up and go!!]

The fans in the Live Stream Room were extremely shocked by Ye Bai's actions.

It was truly unexpected that he could find a boat, and they were overjoyed.

Now they only hoped everyone could get on the boat quickly... Yang Mi kept pushing Reba forward, staying at the back herself.

Seeing their prey about to leave, the Corpse Beetles crawled forward from behind, moving much faster than before.

Reba was pushed onto the boat by Yang Mi. Just as she turned around, she saw one of the Corpse Beetles lunging toward Yang Mi.

“Sister Mi!”

Reba instinctively reached out to grab the Corpse Beetle.

Squelch!

“Ah...” Reba cried out in pain. She grabbed the Corpse Beetle, threw it into the water, and clutched her wound.

“Reba!”

“Sister Reba!”

“Are you okay?”

Yang Mi, Bai Lu, and Yang Chaoyue's eyes flashed with worry when they saw Reba had been bitten by a Corpse Beetle.

“Don't worry about it for now, get on first.” Wu Jing was the last to board the boat, then looked back at Ye Bai, who was still on the bank. “Ye Bai, get on the boat now!”

But Ye Bai didn't seem to hear him. He stood his ground without moving, slowly drawing the black gold ancient blade from his back.

“Ye Bai! Hurry up! This is no joke, these Corpse Beetles are about to catch up!”

Wu Jing held the oar, calling out to Ye Bai in a panic.
