Chapter 40
Chapter 40 – A Secret Assistance
Bai Lin was not surprised. She did not care about Bai Xi’s little trick.
After her retirement, there was a long period of time where she did not have a worthy opponent to practice with. Her life was also as calm as a pool of still water, so when she received Zhou Guang’s invitation, she followed him with great enthusiasm.
She knew that Bai Xi was stalling time, but she was doing the same.
One wolf was not enough for her to play with.
Lin Shu tightened his grip on his machete. “I’ll help you.”
Bai Lin’s eyes shone in excitement. She glanced at him in disdain and said loudly, “You guys go up the trees. I’ll take care of this.”
She took a rough look and saw that there were about seven or eight wolves at the scene. She estimated that there were still some on their way.
Bai Lin lowered her body and made realistic wolf howls.
[Is Bai Lin communicating with the wolves?]
[It doesn’t look like it. She seems to be… threatening the wolves?]
The other people did not stay there stubbornly and add to Bai Lin’s troubles. They climbed up the trees and anxiously operated their watches, trying to get in touch with the production team.
“The interface has changed. There’s a pop-up option!” Jin Hang was like a traveler in the desert who suddenly saw an oasis. “We’re safe!”
When he pressed the button, however, he heard a very mechanical female voice. “Sorry, this function only works when your life is in danger.”
Jin Hang could not help but curse. If Lu Zhi had not stopped him, he would have already taken off the watch and thrown it away.
“What do you mean by our life is in danger?” Zhao Yuan said angrily, “So it means that we’ll only be in danger when the wolves bite us to death?”
Although Lu Zhi was on the tree, she was still in shock. On the ground, there was only Bai Lin who was against the wolves. Once Bai Lin was bitten to death, the wolves’ next target would be them!
“I don’t want to participate in the program anymore. Let me go!” she suddenly shouted, not caring about her image.
Bai Xi was right next to her, and she was having a headache from the noise. Seeing that Bai Lin still seemed to composed down there, her eyes gleamed and she said worriedly, “Let’s all calm down. Jiejie is dealing with so many wolves, we can’t just stand by and watch.”
She plucked a branch and threw it down. “Do what I’m doing. Disturb the wolves!”
Bai Lin charged left and right through the pack of wolves. There was no grimness of a confrontation between her and the life-threatening wild animals.
The wolves moved quickly, and their claws were sharp. They surrounded Bai Lin from all directions. Her straw raincoat had blocked a few attacks for her and was almost torn.
Bai Lin’s movements became more and more fluid as she gradually regained the feeling of fighting. She was never clawed by the wolves after that. Later, she felt that the straw raincoat was a burden and threw it off.
Bai Lin, who was completely free, grinned in excitement. She picked up her knife and charged at the alpha wolf, howling like she was one of them.
At this moment, a tree branch fell from the sky and hit her in the face.
She was caught off guard and the wolf scratched her arm.
[I’m so pissed, I’m so pissed. Can these lousy teammates stop? What else can Bai Xi do besides causing trouble? She wants Bai Lin dead!]
[Are they all idiots?]
[Bai Lin almost scared the wolves away by herself just now. After what they’re doing now, the wolves are back!]
[Bai Xi is a sh*tty troublemaker! Why hasn’t the crew appear yet! Can’t you see that my Lin-jie’s arm is almost crippled?!]
[I don’t dare to watch it anymore. I’ll watch the replay tomorrow. Goodbye, everyone.]
Bai Lin impatiently shouted at the people on the tree, “Stay there and don’t cause troubles!”
Bai Xi threw another branch down, secretly delighted but not showing it on her face. “I’m helping you, jiejie.”
Lin Shu frowned. He did not want to care about other people’s family affairs, but Bai Xi had gone too far. He could not help but say, “Bai Xi, stop when you’re told to. Do you really want your sister to die?”
Bai Xi pursed her lips and said weakly, “I… I just wanted to help. I get it. I won’t move again.”
She felt proud of herself.
Bai Lin was so seriously injured that she would probably be eliminated soon.
The pop-up setting of the production team came at the wrong timing. If there was no such option, Bai Lin would probably die here.
No one would be able to threaten her anymore.
Bai Xi looked down with a victorious smile, but the situation did not develop as she had expected.
Each wolf that was about to touch Bai Lin seemed to be blocked by something invisible as it bounced away with a wail.
After a few times, the wolf pack also realized that something was wrong. The alpha wolf wailed and retreated with its pack.
Bai Lin straightened her back and cracked her neck.
Her line of sight fell on the seemingly ordinary stones on the ground, and she smiled with interest.
Every stone hit the wolves’ claws. This person was no simple presence. She just did not know who it was.
Bai Lin looked around, trying to find a place one could hide.
Who was helping her secretly?
