Chapter 275
The man gripping his trousers was powerfully built. Delight spread over his face.
He was about to charge straight through the gate.
Instead, the boy whose escape he had blocked simply turned, wrapped his arms around him, and drove him backward.
The two who should have been at the front were now at the rear.
The saber-toothed tiger froze as they came rushing straight toward it.
Uh… what?
Thank you, Mother Nature, for this bounty?
Acting on impulse is the devil’s work. Doing it under Boss Zhang is hell itself! – Yu “Sanguan” Hua
Still tangled tightly together, the two fell silent at the sight of the tiger.
Quick question: if you meet a tiger in the wild, what’s the most dignified way to die?
Waiting for answers. Urgent!
The tiger eyed the food in front of it with an almost human gleam of amusement.
These days, dinner even washed itself and delivered itself to your door!
After going hungry for so long, the tiger saw no reason to stand on ceremony. It lunged.
Zhang Bei watched the feed with great satisfaction. Those two wouldn’t actually be eaten.
The tiger would relax its jaws just before they closed on them.
Still, a scare like that was enough to send anyone’s adrenaline soaring.
Suddenly, a foot slammed into the tiger’s several-hundred-pound body.
A teenage boy in camouflage stood in front of the two, a long staff in his hand.
“Vile beast!”
No. 11, their resident lucky star, slapped his forehead. “I knew it!”
The Werewolf squad had eaten and drunk their fill, then made their way here with the two pets they had picked up.
They still entertained a faint hope of clearing the attraction, but they weren’t counting on it.
With the porcupines protecting them, they had enjoyed the past few hours well enough anyway.
They should have been crouching off to one side, holding their pets and watching the show.
After all, they had seen plenty of desperate escapes in movies, but never one performed live.
Certain teenagers with heroic delusions, however, couldn’t stomach a scene like this.
And so, things took an interesting turn.
Chuunibyou pointed with one hand. “Summoned beasts, come forth!”
Two black-and-white shapes flashed past and hurled themselves at the tiger.
The two who had been about to die in its jaws stared at the boy in utter bewilderment.
Who was he? What was he doing?
Holy shit, they were all playing the same game. How come he had special abilities?
Where was the button to buy upgrades? Why hadn’t they found it?
The Werewolf squad standing to one side fell silent.
Summoned beasts, their asses!
Those two things were honey badgers they had met along the way.
Their kindhearted, delusional young hero had given them a bunch of bananas.
After that, the group had acquired two pets that fought things every step of the way.
With those two honey badgers around, every venomous snake along the route had become a spicy snack.
Even a pair of lions had given them a wide berth.
Forget narrow escapes. Their journey had been smooth sailing.
Honey badgers might be small, but they would challenge any creature at all.
Chuunibyou wasn’t idle either. Wooden staff in hand, he began issuing orders like a proper summoner.
“Daping, bite its hind leg! Erping, go for its weak spot!”
The saber-toothed tiger was busy dealing with the honey badger biting its hind leg.
Then a searing bolt of agony struck without warning.
Man or male tiger, a heavy blow to that particular spot was unbearable.
Chuunibyou stood tall as the tiger limped away.
“Evil can never triumph over justice!”
During the fight, however, the final two places on the Pass Card had been claimed.
The wolves had completely surrounded everyone left behind.
As the fear of death spread, Chuunibyou took the lead with his two honey badgers, planting himself in front of the others.
At the same time, background music quietly began to play.
Outside the ring of wolves, the Werewolf squad all sighed.
“I knew it!”
“Where’s his background music coming from?”
“I saw him carrying an MP4 player. One with a speaker.”
Kong Hanchi’s explanation solved that mystery.
In the blink of an eye, the wolves launched their attack.
But the anticipated battle never came. Zhang Bei’s voice rang in everyone’s ears.
“The successful visitors have been confirmed. Each receives a whole roast sheep!”
As his voice faded, the wolves gradually withdrew and the mechanical gate slowly opened.
“Oh, and remember to use the mechanical gate on your way out. Try not to bring anything clinging to you out with you.”
Zhang Bei hadn’t built a useless gate for no reason.
It served as an exit, but more importantly, it removed the leeches from the visitors.
Between everyone here, there were enough leeches on them to fill two stir-fry dishes with plenty to spare.
Chuunibyou patted the two honey badgers hanging on him.
“Go on back. I have to leave!”
They rubbed their heads against his legs, then slowly climbed down to the ground.
“I’ll come see you again!”
The two honey badgers reared up and watched until the group disappeared from sight.
Zhang Bei also had the other thoroughly tormented visitors brought out one by one.
Holding the two little ones by the hand, Chi Fu sighed at the visitors strewn across the ground.
Sure enough, wherever Boss Zhang went, a scene like this was inevitable.
No matter the location, rows of prone visitors might arrive late, but they would never fail to appear!
As for the five winners, Zhang Bei presented them with five whole roast sheep from an extinct species.
Amid the commotion, Li Yang grabbed a sheep’s leg and started gnawing on it.
It had been almost five hours since they arrived on the Island.
They had eaten some fruit, but that stuff didn’t keep hunger away!
You Bai took a careful look at the people still lying unconscious.
“Haven’t we forgotten something?”
Li Yang swallowed his mouthful of meat and glanced at Gu Yue, lying deathly pale on the ground.
“I don’t think so. Everyone’s here, aren’t they?”
Suddenly, both of them froze.
An image of someone fleeing a lion flashed through their minds.
“Has Qingqing come out yet?”
You Bai spotted Zhang Bei nearby and hurried over.
“Boss.”
“What is it?”
“I think Qingqing’s still in there.”
Zhang Bei looked around. Sure enough, Qingqing was nowhere to be seen.
He couldn’t be bothered to search the surveillance feeds again. Instead, he pressed the button on his radio.
“Team Three, status report.”
“Boss, this woman’s one hell of a runner. We’re still chasing her.”
The captain of Team Three gave a long sigh as the red dot on the mobile terminal moved a little farther away again.
“Pick up the pace. Just another kilometer and we’ll catch her.”
The team members wiped away their sweat and quickened their steps.
God only knew why a visitor could run faster than a bunch of mercenaries.
Three whole kilometers!
They had been chasing her for three kilometers!
The woman seemed incapable of tiring, leading them on a mad dash the whole way.
In fact, Qingqing was already on the verge of collapse.
Once she had shaken off the initial danger, she had meant to find Li Yang and regroup.
But then, in one careless moment, she had disturbed an enormous python.
