44: The crowd was furious and berated him, but Ye Bai wanted to remain uninvolved.

The current was moving so fast now that it was too late for them to pull away.

Wu Jing finally shouted out.

"Ye Bai..."

Wu Jing could only turn to Ye Bai for help now.

Previously, it had always been Ye Bai who turned the tide; now, they could only count on him.

Following Wu Jing's shout, Yang Mi, Reba, Bailu, and Zhang Dada all looked in Ye Bai's direction.

At that sight, they were all stunned.

Ye Bai looked completely unaffected; no matter how the boat tossed and turned, he remained as steady as a mountain.

What was going on?

Did he grow roots in his feet? Or did he glue himself down with superglue? How could he be this awesome?

He wasn't even moving?

Seeing this, the audience in the Live Stream Room was dumbfounded.

【Holy crap! Am I not blind, right?】

【No way! What is going on? Brother Jing and the others are spinning around there, practically about to roll into the water, so why is Ye Bai fine?】

【This is too awesome. Everyone else is shaking uncontrollably, but he's fine. Is this the legendary "Old Tree Entwined Roots"?】

【Is that how you use "Old Tree Entwined Roots"?】

【Who cares? Anyway, my Brother Ye Bai is awesome, much better than those few little fresh meats who are crying and howling and are scared to death. They must be regretting it so much in their hearts, wishing they had just paid the breach of contract penalty instead of coming here!!】

【No! Why are you still obsessing over this? What does being steady have to do with falling into the Whirlpool? If the boat falls straight into the water, no matter how steady you are, you're going down to wait for death!!】

【Forget it, let's think about what to do. Can we call for a rescue team now? The giant python and the female ghost could be dealt with, they were things we could contend with, but this is a natural Whirlpool. How can humans possibly contend with that!!】

Although the audience was shocked by Ye Bai's skills, they were still very nervous about their safety.

Maintaining his balance was surprising, but they were still very worried about their safety.

This Whirlpool could take their lives at any moment...

Inside the Forbidden Ground.

"Ye Bai, do you have any ideas? We're about to reach the center of the Whirlpool, we're about to fall in."

As Wu Jing spoke, he dry-heaved a few times; he finally understood what it felt like to be tossed into a spin dryer.

"Give me a rope!"

Ye Bai spoke up again. Compared to their panic, his voice and expression were very steady, as if he didn't have much worry about the predicament before them.

Wu Jing took off his backpack, grabbed the side of the boat with one hand, and used his other hand to struggle to open the bag, taking out a coil of rope and throwing it to Ye Bai.

After receiving it, Ye Bai swept his gaze across the area, swung the rope in his hand, and threw it perfectly onto the thickest tree trunk opposite them.

【Holy crap! Ye Bai, what are you doing? Are you planning to leave on your own? You are so disloyal!】

【You took Brother Jing's rope, and you're actually planning to run away by yourself? You are truly despicable!】

【No way, you are not allowed to leave! If you're going to leave, you have to take my Kun Kun with you!】

【Pfft, what "take your Kun Kun"? What use is your Kun Kun? All he does is cry and howl. Take my Reba, my Reba has a soft spot for him.】

【Pfft! Does my Lulu deserve to die? Either don't leave at all, or just wait for death!!】

【You are not allowed to leave!!】

【What do you mean "not allowed to leave"? If there's a chance to survive, should Brother Ye Bai just wait for death? It just means those people are useless. Whoever has the ability gets to survive; that's the normal rule!!】

When the fans saw Ye Bai wrapping the rope around the large tree, they all thought Ye Bai was planning to leave alone.

At this moment, they were furious; he was just a cowardly, ungrateful villain...

Their hands were pounding heavily on their keyboards, as if that was the only way to vent their anger.

Inside the Forbidden Ground.

Wu Jing, Cai Xukun, and Zhang Dada also thought of this, assuming Ye Bai was planning to leave by himself.

Zhang Dada and Cai Xukun were so angry they cursed out loud.

"Ye Bai, you bastard, you actually want to run away by yourself? You are truly disloyal! Aren't you afraid that everyone will point fingers at you and curse you?"

Zhang Dada's panic was replaced by anger.

"Ye Bai, you are truly disloyal. We came here together, after all. Are you even human? You're actually running away on your own?"

Cai Xukun cursed in anger, but after saying this, he gritted his teeth, let go of the boat side, lunged at Ye Bai's feet, and grabbed them tightly with both hands.

"If we can't leave, you aren't allowed to leave either. If we're going to die, we'll all die together."

Cai Xukun actually had another calculation in his mind: in case Ye Bai really left the boat later, by grabbing onto him tightly, he could force Ye Bai to take him along.

Yang Mi, Reba, and the other girls were disgusted by Cai Xukun's behavior.

"Cai Xukun, you..."

Yang Chaoyue was angered by his actions. If Ye Bai could survive, that would naturally be good; obviously, it was better for at least one person to survive, but what was he doing?

He actually dared to hold onto Ye Bai and not let him leave...

Yang Mi and Reba were also furious. They wanted to stop Cai Xukun, but every time they opened their mouths, they felt like vomiting, and their heads were spinning even more.

Just then—

"Time's up!"

Ye Bai suddenly spoke.

Just when everyone was bewildered, the boat had already reached the center of the Whirlpool.

Wu Jing, Yang Mi, and the others had completely given up hope.

It's over! It's over!

This was the rhythm of drowning; they were likely going to die here.

They all closed their eyes in despair, waiting to fall into the water and die!

But the next second!

Ye Bai suddenly exerted force with both hands and feet, one of his feet stepping firmly on Cai Xukun's arm.

"Ah..."

Cai Xukun let out a scream from being stepped on.

The veins on Ye Bai's arms bulged, and a surge of powerful energy erupted from his body.

He increased the force in his hands continuously, just as the boat was about to fall into the Whirlpool...

Ye Bai used himself as an anchor point and pulled hard on the rope in his hand.

"Ah..." Cai Xukun let out another shrill scream.

The sound was like a Soul Emergence, echoing over the rainforest.

Whoosh!

Ye Bai's feet pressed firmly against the partition of the boat, and he pulled the rope with a sudden, forceful yank.

The entire boat lifted into the air, crossing over the Whirlpool in the water.

Thud!

The boat landed back in the water.

Wu Jing, Zhang Dada, and the others only felt their bodies seem to hang in the air, and then they landed heavily in the water.

Yang Mi and Reba were physically exhausted; with the impact of landing in the water, they fell directly onto the boat.

Their buttocks hit the boat deck directly, and a sharp pain shot through their tailbones.

???

What was happening?

Damn! Where did the Whirlpool go?

Everyone looked bewildered.

【???】

【Holy crap! What just happened? What on earth is going on?】

【I had just prepared myself to watch Wu Jing, Da Mimi, and the others fall into the Whirlpool, but what is this? How did they get across?】

【Holy crap! Did my eyes deceive me just now? Did I just watch a sci-fi blockbuster? I saw Ye Bai turn the boat into a spaceship... and then it jumped straight over that Whirlpool?】
