46: Another small team deep in the dense forest!

"You stepped on my arm on purpose, didn't you?"

As Cai Xukun spoke, he raised his fist, about to punch Ye Bai in the face.

But Ye Bai didn't even spare him a glance, calmly turning around to sit on the boat, ignoring him completely.

"Kun Kun, what are you doing?"

Huang Zitao stepped forward to pull Cai Xukun back.

"What am I doing? He did it on purpose! Look at my arm; he stepped on it intentionally just now. If my arm is ruined, how am I supposed to write lyrics, compose music, and hold concerts? Can he afford to compensate me for my losses?"

Cai Xukun questioned Ye Bai loudly.

"Cai Xukun, have you forgotten? You were the one lying at Ye Bai's feet, saying he was going to run away alone. You grabbed his leg and tried to drag him to hell with you."

"You don't mention your own malicious intentions?"

"Little Brother Ye Bai was just too merciful. If it were me, I'd take ruthless revenge on a murderer. I would have broken your arm! You have the nerve to blame Little Brother Ye Bai!"

"He saved you and you didn't even say thank you, but now that something's wrong, you know to look for Little Brother Ye Bai? How can you be so shameless?"

Yang Chaoyue had wanted to speak up for Ye Bai for a while now. He didn't know how to thank Ye Bai once they were safe, but he sure knew how to cause trouble the moment something happened.

Does he really think he's some big shot?

"I think Chaoyue is right. You were trying to kill Ye Bai just now, weren't you?"

Yang Mi, who had been silent until now, also spoke up with a cold tone.

Reba, Bai Lu, and Meng Ziyi all looked at Cai Xukun.

If Zhang Dada was a repulsive fly, then this Cai Xukun was the tumor of the group... "I..."

Cai Xukun wanted to say more, but Hua Chenyu covered his mouth.

"Well, it's Kun Kun's fault. Whatever happened today, he brought it on himself; he can't blame anyone else."

Hua Chenyu covered Cai Xukun's mouth while looking at them with a slightly apologetic expression.

"You..."

"'You' what? Do you want to provoke public outrage? If you piss everyone off, do you still want to finish this journey?"

Hua Chenyu advised him, acting as if it were for his own good.

"But my arm really hurts..." Even now, Cai Xukun felt as if his arm was broken and didn't dare to touch it.

"Just bear with it. Wait until we get out, then you can take your time dealing with him. Are you worried you won't have the chance?"

Hua Chenyu whispered softly, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes!

Seeing Ye Bai still acting cool and gaining the favor of the female guests, Zhang Dada felt very agitated.

If it were other celebrities, fine, but why should a mere college student dare to steal their spotlight?

"Once we're out, you'll be the one in charge. Even if you hire someone to beat him up, who would know?"

Zhang Dada continued to mutter quietly on the side.

Hearing this, Cai Xukun's eyes snapped open, seemingly surprised by their words... but at the same time, his mind began to race... Yes, endure for now. He would make him feel the same pain he felt in his arm.

Cai Xukun took a deep breath, suppressing his anger with all his might.

He would deal with it after they returned.

"Sister Mi! I think they're plotting something."

Reba whispered softly.

"Ignore them for now. Even if they have grievances, they won't show them yet."

After hearing Reba, Yang Mi glanced over and then coldly looked away.

Reba, Bai Lu, and Meng Ziyi felt temporarily at ease after hearing that.

However, their impression of Zhang Dada and Cai Xukun grew even worse.

In the Live Stream Room—

[Damn! I'm unfollowing. I almost forgot about that—Kun Kun actually tried to drag Ye Bai down with him earlier. What kind of character is that?]

[Exactly! Truly disgusting!]

[I'm unfollowing too. I'm leaving Zhang Dada's fandom. He's just a sick person with a bad brain!]

[Sick? That's ingratitude!!]

[I'm sticking with my Little Brother Ye Bai. He's loyal and capable. What are those 'little fresh meats' compared to him?]

[Exactly!!]

Cai Xukun's follower count plummeted, with almost all of them switching to follow Ye Bai.

The same happened to Zhang Dada; fans felt he was selfish, useless, and always liked to gossip... Meanwhile, the Mercenaries who had entered the Rainforest were looking a bit disheveled... They had encountered Corpse Beetles on the way.

Luckily they ran fast and weren't caught by the Corpse Beetles; otherwise, they didn't have any Antidote to neutralize the venom.

"Captain, these Corpse Beetles are truly terrifying."

One of the team members said, still shaken.

"Captain, how can those people be so fast? Can we still catch up?"

Another member said with some concern.

"We have to catch up even if we can't. This is the mission given to us from above." The mercenary captain looked at the team members and then surveyed the surroundings. "Keep an eye out for anyone from Northern Myanmar appearing here."

"Yes!"

The Mercenaries responded in unison, their voices echoing through the Rainforest.

Just then—

They heard what sounded like voices nearby, speaking in an unintelligible language.

The mercenary captain waved his hand, signaling the soldiers rowing behind him to stop.

"There seems to be a sound." The captain pricked up his ears and listened intently.

On the boat opposite them—

It was a group of people dressed in local clothing, rowing a crude wooden boat toward Ye Bai and the others.

"According to the Live Stream Room, they are headed in this direction."

One of them, speaking in a Northern Myanmar dialect, pointed to the area directly ahead.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get over there!"

"The men will be taken to have their kidneys harvested, and the women will be kept—don't let them go to waste. They say those are celebrities; I've never tasted a celebrity before..."

Another man with a large scar on his face wore a lewd grin, harboring inappropriate thoughts about Yang Mi and the others.

"Cut the crap and row faster so we can get there sooner."

The man at the front barked an order, his movements becoming even faster than before.

"Big Brother! What about Second Brother and the others? Where did they go?"

The last man sitting asked in confusion, as if suddenly remembering something.

"They're blocking the other path. With a pincer attack from both sides, we'll be able to catch those celebrities."

The leader spoke while rowing.

The three of them rowed hurriedly, chasing after Ye Bai's group.

Watching them move further away, the Mercenaries followed quietly behind.

In less than half an hour, the people from Northern Myanmar reached the whirlpool.

"Big Brother, you're rowing so fast. Are you also eager to taste a Female Celebrity?"

The burly man at the very back said with a sinister laugh.

"Taste your mother's head! We've hit a whirlpool!"

The leader's face turned pale instantly. He struggled frantically, trying to row backward.

"Ah..."

"What do we do?"

"We've lost control!!"
