Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Gu Zhao’s Ability Fails
Smiles spread across both their faces. This was their chance to redeem themselves!
So what if they had animals helping them? In the face of nature, only your own strength mattered!
"Hurry! I can hear fish jumping!" Yu Weitao grew even more excited.
Yu Zhenghao was just as excited. A smile lit up his face, as if he could already see that annoying group of celebrities losing!
Once they won, he was going to order them to do the hardest, most tiring work!
Then, whether they failed at everything or just ended up filthy and ugly!
Those celebrities would definitely get flamed! He and his brother would be the ones everyone praised!
The two of them pushed through the dense vegetation. The scene revealed after parting a few giant leaves left them both stunned.
A deep spring appeared before them. Its water was a dark blue, and occasionally a few fish would leap from the surface, breaking the silence.
"This is great!" Yu Zhenghao ran to the water’s edge and reached out to touch its surface.
"We won, brother!"
Yu Weitao was happy too, but he said sternly, "Don’t get cocky. We were still too slow this time."
Yu Zhenghao pouted. "Oh."
"Alright, let’s prepare a device to filter the water." Yu Weitao glanced at the drone. "You should never drink water directly from the wild!"
"At best you’ll get an upset stomach, at worst it could be life-threatening."
"So, how do you filter water simply and effectively?" Yu Weitao asked and answered himself, trying to liven up the atmosphere.
"Now, watch as Da Yu and Little Yu give you a demonstration!"
Yu Weitao walked over to the plants. "When you’re in the wild without a container, you have to learn to use the tools nature provides, like these big leaves."
Yu Weitao picked a leaf and rolled it into the shape of a bowl.
"Now we’ll collect some spring water." He bent down, filled the leaf with water, and then placed it on a stand Yu Zhenghao had built from stones.
"This is for sedimentation. We’ll let it sit for fifteen minutes to allow any sediment to settle to the bottom."
"Of course, if the water source is a clear spring like this and the current is fast, you can skip this step. But considering my brother and the other young partners are kids, it’s better to be thorough."
"My brother’s fine, though. His stomach is used to it. He’s not some delicate child."
Yu Zhenghao lifted his chin proudly. He was the kind of person who even dared to eat insects!
[I learned something! I knew it, following Da Yu and Little Yu is exciting survival TV and you learn stuff too.]
[I just checked out the celebrities’ stream. They’re actually saying there’s a giant python by the spring! And that a monkey told them! Has acting melted their brains?]
[OMG! The celebs’ stream says there’s a giant python by the spring, and their source is a monkey? Are they taking the audience for idiots?]
[Hahahaha, it’s not like this bunch of celebrities are here for a real adventure. They can only rely on this kind of stuff to get attention.]
The viewers on Yu Weitao’s stream were having a good laugh, while Yu Weitao and Yu Zhenghao sat to the side, chatting leisurely.
It was as if victory was already in their grasp, their confidence boundless.
But no one noticed the dense vegetation by the spring stir. A huge snake’s head rose, its vertical pupils fixed on the chattering humans by the water.
Meanwhile, Gu Zhao and the others were slowly making their way toward the spring.
"These leaves are so big!"
Zhong Mingrui was thrilled to see leaves that were bigger than him.
"Brother!"
"Not here!" The moment Zhong Siqi heard him call "brother," he immediately cut him off!
Now, whenever he heard Zhong Mingrui call him "brother," he just knew the kid was about to stir up trouble again.
Zhong Mingrui looked aggrieved.
Song Zhe couldn’t bear to see it. "Brother Qi, how can you cut a child off like that?"
Zhong Siqi shot him a look, his eyes filled with exhaustion. "Then you give it a try."
Song Zhe, unconcerned, said, "Little Mingrui, was there a problem? Go on, tell Brother Qi!"
Song Yi shot his brother a sideways glance and then silently moved to stand beside Zhong Siqi. ’His brother is getting cocky again.’
Zhong Mingrui, happy that someone was paying attention to him again, chirped, "Brother Qi! These leaves are so big! Can they be used as a blanket? I’ve seen on TV that when people die, they get wrapped up in something! When you die, can I wrap you up in this leaf?"
Song Zhe: ...
"Um... why don’t you wrap up your own brother. I’ll just have Song Yi buy me a coffin. They can’t be that expensive, right?"
Song Zhe rubbed his nose.
Truly, the crazy things kids say.
Gu Zhao glanced at the leaf. "Something this pure, natural, and pollution-free should be saved for wrapping up someone you hate. Let them be a little greener in their next life."
"As for me, I’ll just have to make do and sleep in my golden, slide-top coffin."
Gu Zhao silently resolved, ’As soon as I can get back, I have to get that golden coffin my second brother promised me! He’s been putting it off for so long!’
’Even though I’m a rich little lady now, I can’t tolerate anyone owing me money! Especially not gold!’
Gu Jiao readily agreed. "Big leaves attract bugs. You’d get eaten."
Hearing this, Zhong Mingrui immediately grew disgusted with the leaves. He had never even eaten his own flesh! There was no way he was letting bugs eat it!
[Kids say the darndest things...]
[Zhong Siqi: Here, you can have my brother! You deal with him!]
[Hahahahaha these guys are a riot!! Why is Gu Zhao still hung up on her big golden coffin?]
[On the topic of Zhong Mingrui’s bizarre thoughts!]
The group continued to joke and laugh, but just then, the Red-tailed Monkey leading the way suddenly looked ahead warily, its fur bristling.
If Xiangxiang hadn’t been behind it, it would have already run away.
The other animals were also terrified of what lay ahead. The Malay Bear looked at the trees, then at Gu Zhao, and finally ran to stand in front of her.
"Little Xiangxiang! Run! That guy is angry!"
Its tone was exceptionally anxious.
The other animals also chattered, urging Gu Zhao to leave.
"What’s wrong?" Seeing the animals’ strange behavior, Gu Xulin immediately scooped Gu Zhao up. ’There’s no way I’m letting us get separated this time!’
The other adult partners followed his lead, immediately either grabbing or pulling their young partners close.
They’d learned from experience. They couldn’t get separated again.
[Run run run run run aaaaaah! I just checked the other stream! They were asking for death and pissed off the giant python!!!]
[I can’t even! If they want to die, can’t they do it without dragging others down with them?! They’re running this way!]
[??? What happened? This local monkey is confused, can an outside monkey explain?]
[Those two idiot brothers, Yu Weitao and Yu Zhenghao!! The python appeared and was just looking at them! But then that son of a bitch Yu Zhenghao probably wanted to imitate the Monkey King! He tried to order the python around! The python ignored him and was about to leave, but then he threw a rock at it!!]
[I’ll take it from here!! Yu Weitao is an idiot too! It’s one thing not to stop him! But when the python didn’t attack, he said the animals in this forest were all tame zoo animals the director had planted here beforehand!!! He just let his brother court death!]
[Aaaahhh it’s coming! The python has been driven mad by those morons!]
"AHHHH, HELP! HELP! Director! Someone, help! It’s gone crazy!" Yu Zhenghao’s face was streaked with tears as he ran for his life.
Yu Weitao was also panicking. ’This is impossible! It shouldn’t be like this!’
’Why was it that when Gu Zhao dealt with those animals, nothing happened? And the python didn’t even react when my brother spoke to it!’
’Why weren’t the handlers coming out yet? Did they really want to watch us get eaten?!’
"Director! Stop the act!" he yelled angrily at the drone.
’Are these capitalists really treating our lives as content for views?!’
"Gu Zhao! Brother, it’s Gu Zhao and the others!!" Yu Zhenghao’s expression twisted the moment he saw the group ahead.
’It’s all her fault! She tricked me! Yes, it was her! Otherwise, how could I have made a mistake like this?!’
’How could I not know the dangers of wild animals?!’
’She’s the one who made me think these animals were tame! She’s the one who made me lower my guard!’
In that moment, the thoughts of Yu Weitao and Yu Zhenghao miraculously aligned, and they both ran toward Gu Zhao.
The giant python gave chase, violently crashing through the plants and trees in its path.
"HISSSSSSS!"
Gu Zhao grabbed Gu Xulin and took off running, with the animals following right behind.
"Split up!!"
Gu Zhao could feel the malicious intent the Yu brothers had for her.
Zhong Mingrui and the others didn’t understand.
But Gu Zhao did.
’She! Just now, she hadn’t been able to understand the python’s language!!’
