465: Using the Minor Five Elements Spell Mastery's Lost Track Technique, something outrageous happened once again!
Although the Program Production Team had sent specialists to thoroughly inspect the island before everyone moved in, ensuring there would be no safety issues.
However, when Boss Yang worried that Xu Lu and the others might have left the designated area, everyone still felt a bit anxious.
Of course, it was also because their large group had already searched the designated area once and hadn't found Xu Lu and Reba.
So, they all believed the two had left the area, rather than simply not being found.
Soon, everyone agreed with Boss Yang's suggestion and approached the Program Production Team.
However, a large group of people quickly returned with strange expressions.
Because the Program Production Team staff explicitly stated that their Director Xu was currently within the designated hide-and-seek game area and hadn't left at all; they just hadn't found him.
This left Boss Yang and Younger Cousin Yang Mi puzzled.
Boss Yang muttered to herself with a suspicious look:
"Xu Lu is still in this area, so why can't we find him?"
"Exactly, we just turned this place upside down. Did we really just miss Big Brother Xu every time?"
Younger Cousin Yang Mi also had a bewildered expression.
"Director Xu is too good. He not only evaded our large group but also the search team!"
Liu Yifei exclaimed in surprise as well.
Meanwhile, the audience watching the live broadcast were all bursting with laughter.
Unlike the people on site, as viewers, they could see many independent perspectives, and at this moment, one perspective was showing footage of Xu Lu.
Clearly, he hadn't left the designated area; he had just perfectly evaded everyone's search.
This made countless viewers exclaim in wonder:
"Director Xu is too amazing! He perfectly evaded several searches. This guy has such good luck!"
"Exactly! Twice he brushed past people and wasn't discovered. That's too lucky."
"There are very few people left who haven't been found. I didn't expect the underestimated Director Xu to be one of them.
Oh, right, not only is he good at hiding himself, but he also brought Reba, a 'burden.' He's truly amazing..."
"Hahahaha, seeing the expressions of Boss Yang and Younger Cousin, they must be completely bewildered."
..."Who wouldn't be bewildered? They clearly searched all areas and thought the other party had left the designated area.
Who knew it was simply because they hadn't found him, and Director Xu had been circling within this area the whole time..."
"I retract my previous statement. It turns out Director Xu understands hide-and-seek. He's practically a master!"
"Definitely a master. He not only evaded Boss Yang and their harassment but also the professional search team."
"Reba followed Director Xu and really just 'lay down and won.' Leaning on him was the right choice."
...In fact, not only the audience was exclaiming, but even Reba herself felt that her decision was too correct at this moment.
"Xu Lu, how exactly did you evade everyone? I thought we were about to be discovered just now, but I didn't expect Sister Mi and the others to not find us!"
Reba finally couldn't help but ask.
Because not long ago, Boss Yang had led a large group of people past them.
This gave Reba a fright; she thought the game was about to end.
But unexpectedly, miraculously, a group of people passed just a few meters away, yet failed to spot her and Xu Lu.
It was like experiencing a miraculous escape from death.
Hearing Reba's question, Xu Lu smiled mysteriously and said:
"Maybe they were momentarily careless and didn't see us. The visibility in this forest isn't very good to begin with!"
"That might be it. This island has too many large trees, and it's dark and gloomy inside, so it's normal not to find us!"
Reba accepted this answer upon hearing it.
But what she didn't know was that Boss Yang and the others couldn't find them, which actually had nothing to do with the lighting.
It was simply because Xu Lu had 'cheated' just now.
That's right!
As someone with numerous skills, Xu Lu had inadvertently used a little bit of them just now.
Specifically, he used a minor spell called 'Illusion Art' from his 'Minor Five Elements Spell Mastery'.
The activation of this minor spell concealed his and Reba's traces.
Thus, Boss Yang and Younger Cousin Yang Mi passed by them, yet failed to discover the two of them.
However, such an enigmatic method naturally couldn't be explained directly to Reba, so Xu Lu could only casually bluff.
Fortunately, Reba was quite easy to fool; she believed him even with a simple excuse, which saved Xu Lu a lot of trouble... However, the group of people who had temporarily joined the search team would not let it go so easily after learning that Xu Lu was still within the designated area.
Boss Yang and the others immediately rushed back into the dense forest, starting a second round of searching.
Meanwhile, the five search team members who had already found most of the players shifted their focus to finding the 'easter egg'.
It's worth noting that there were only about ten people left who hadn't been found.
Even if all of them were found, it would only increase the prize money by twenty to thirty thousand for the search team.
But if they found Xu Lu, the 'easter egg,' it would instantly be a hundred thousand prize, so it was easy to distinguish which was more important.
As a result, even the online audience felt that Xu Lu and Reba's 'survival pressure' instantly increased by countless times:
"Director Xu probably won't be able to hide for long. With so many people looking for him, he'll be found soon!"
"Yeah, the others are quite lucky because Director Xu is taking most of the heat for them."
"Everyone look at this footage, Director Xu and Reba haven't moved from that spot for a long time, they must be tired from walking."
"Indeed, what's even more interesting is that the two of them are right in the direction Boss Yang and her large group are heading!"
...Under the gaze of countless viewers, Boss Yang and her group got closer and closer to Xu Lu and Reba.
Just as they were about to meet, the next moment, a bizarre scene unfolded.
Boss Yang, Younger Cousin Yang Mi, and even Liu Yifei, all subtly shifted their direction by a tiny bit.
Then... this large group, who had already appeared in the same shot, once again brushed past Xu Lu and Reba.
Seeing this scene, the audience immediately began to complain:
"Are you kidding me? If they just walked a few more meters, they would have seen Director Xu and Reba!"
"Exactly, exactly, what are they doing? Why did they change direction at such a crucial moment?"
"Uh... could it be for the show's effect? I don't believe they can't find two people from this close."
"Don't worry, everyone, look quickly, the five members of the search team are also heading towards Director Xu and them. They should be able to find them now, right?"
...As many viewers said.
Not long after Boss Yang and the others 'brushed past,' the five members of the search team also appeared in the shot simultaneously.
Although their appearing direction was different from Boss Yang's group, their go ahead direction was also directly towards Xu Lu and Reba.
Seeing this, the audience once again felt hope, all thinking to themselves:
"This time, there's no way the two of them can evade again, right?"
However, a few seconds later, an outrageous thing happened again before the eyes of countless viewers.
