Chapter 102 - Old Spirit Manor
Su Lele and Duan Aoming walked out together, turned on the mobile phone flashlight, then scanned their surroundings.
A casual scan revealed Annie, who’d been scared dumb.
The grievances Su Lele had during the day were still there. Rolling her eyes, she expressed her displeasure and impatience.
The moment they came out was very timely, the white shadow on the tree had already disappeared.
So when they saw Annie sobbing spasmodically, screaming with her hands wrapped around her head, their first reaction was that the woman was messing around again.
Du Chonghua was still frozen in place, his heart beating rapidly, hands and feet completely cold.
Holding a selfie stick in his hand, live broadcast already opened, that amazing scene just now was recorded by the live broadcasting room. The amount of gifts sent by fans exploded, and even the number of fans increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, soaring sky high.
In this short period of time, the amount of gifts he received was equal to the amount he worked hard to earn on a normal weekday.
He gritted his teeth, the greed in his heart drastically increasing.
He wanted to be popular!
Everyone packed up pretty quickly. After all, this was not the first time they went on an adventure, and they’ve long become familiar with what things were necessary, how everything was used, how to reduce the weight of their backpack, and so on.
The surrounding laughter gradually became louder. As if it were going to pierce peoples’ eardrums, like some kind of magical sound, anyone who heard would be scared witless.
“How far is the Old Locust Tree Manor?” Wang Xueke’s heart trembled as she listened to the laughter that seemed to come from nowhere.
Having heard what was asked, Du Chonghua looked at the map on his phone. Eyes widening, he moved the phone closer to himself.
How was this possible?
During the day, it clearly displayed that there was at least a distance of 50 kilometers between them and the Old Locust Tree Manor, but when he turned on his phone, it showed that they were now only one kilometer away from the Old Locust Tree Manor!
This also meant that they actually only need to walk approximately ten minutes to reach their destination!
Du Chonghua revealed a happy expression.
“Quick! Get ready, everyone! We are only one kilometer away from the Old Locust Tree Manor, and we will reach our destination very soon!” His voice boomed out, even the ethereal laughter around him did not overwhelm and obscure his voice.
As the squad’s tool man, Xiao Chen was responsible for carrying the luggage and being the head bird.
Du Chonghua’s eyes flashed, and sternly shouted, “Xiao Chen, you come lead the way!”
Xiao Chen heard his words, his eyebrows slightly raised, very noncommittal.
Ah.
In the original plot, Xiao Chen’s character was really the first to become cannon fodder.
After he became cannon fodder, the group focused on who would carry the luggage and how to split the luggage weight. They got into an argument, and in the process another person got killed by a ghost.
In short, without exception, the whole squad died.
Xiao Chen fearlessly and leisurely walked to the front of the group.
Du Chonghua originally planned to use his authority to pressure him, worried he was unwilling, but he didn’t expect him to be so cooperative.
With already prepared lines, Du Chonghua awkwardly and abruptly stopped his sentence, then stiffly held back what was about to be said.
“Let’s go.” Du Chonghua said towards the back.
Everyone already turned on the live broadcast software and held up their phones in the strange night. They communicated non-stop with their fans, asking for gratuity.
Annie didn’t say a word from beginning to end, but just turned on the camera in a daze.
The fans that were there earlier in her live broadcast room saw the weird scene and were all comforting her. Only some people who came later were confused, not knowing what the fans were comforting Annie about, continuously spamming the live broadcast for information.
Xiao Chen’s footsteps weren’t very sluggish, it was completely impossible to see that he was carrying a lot of things. Even though he carried several bags and held more in his hands, his back was very straight from beginning to end.
Du Chenghua didn’t know if it was just a misconception, he kept feeling that Xiao Chen, who was walking in front of him, seemed very leisurely and carefree. It was as though he didn’t have any fear, very much like a nobleman going on an adventure.
Walking forward according to the map, the alarming laughter gradually disappeared, returning back to the seemingly peaceful silence, allowing the group of people to slowly relax their vigilance.
Xiao Chen’s eyes flickered slightly, the tips of his ears moving accordingly.
His current five senses were almost ten times as magnified as ordinary people, He could clearly hear something on the ground slithering, rubbing against the ground and letting out rustling sounds.
It was obvious that the sounds were coming towards them.
Xiao Chen’s lips once again hooked up, the face behind the mask ruminating.
“Ahhhh—-” Wang Xueke was holding her phone and running her live broadcast, but then there was suddenly something that landed straight on top of her head, the tail of the thing poking straight into her eye.
It was a snake!
“Ahhhhhhhh!” Wang Xueke was too afraid to move, her face ashen. She could clearly feel the thing moving on her head, the cold snake scales pressed onto her skin, making her hair stand on end.
[Don’t Sit Cross Legged: F*ck f*ck f*ck, my god, don’t show me this, it’s too disgusting!
Yellow Towel: Ahhh! I have goosebumps now, goodness gracious, there’s a snake!
Save Toilet Paper: Help, help! I can’t look anymore, I’m afraid of snakes the most, someone quickly come help this blogger! I feel like this snake will bite her at any second!
Striped Zebra: Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!]
Su Lele and Duan Aoming, the two people closest to Wang Xueke, were scared off at the same time, both legs trembling.
Wang Xueke’s tears rapidly fell, sobbing softly with ‘wuwuwu’ sounds.
That snake on her head moved a little, then followed her cheek to crawl down slowly.
Wang Xueke’s whole person was frozen, with her widened eyes, frightened that cold sweat flowed out. The feeling of hard scales moving down her face made her almost faint with fear.
She used her eyes and asked for help to the people around her, but even when Du Chonghua met her gaze, he consciously avoided eye contact.
No one was willing to help her!
[Educated And Knowledgeable: Damn, these people still aren’t going to help the anchor, really too cold-blooded!
Up And Down The Whole Body: I seemed to have witnessed the so-called teammate friendship today, I thought that everyone in the little death squad had a pretty good relationship!
Are You Thin: I’m convinced, if I were the anchor I’m afraid my heart would already be cold, too motherf*cking f*cked up, damn!
Skateboard Shoes: I’m going to faint just from looking at it, I really can’t imagine how broken Keke’s heart is now!]
Looking at the cold-blooded scene in front of him, Xiao Chen sneered in his heart. It was unknown what he was thinking, but he dropped the bags in his hands onto the ground, and under everyone’s astonished eyes started walking forward.
“………”
“………”
Xiao Chen and Wang Xueke met each other’s gaze, the despair in the girl’s eyes clearly visible. The moment she saw Xiao Chen take a step forward, her eyes flashed with light, filled with hope and the need for help.
Xiao Chen squinted his eyes, the corner of his lips hooking up as the three inch snake lying on Wang Xueke’s face was directly lifted using his bare hands.
The snake was very docile. When it was being pinched up by Xiao Chen, its tail even gently hooked Xiao Chen’s wrist, as if trying to please him.
Xiao Chen looked left and right to confirm the direction where Annie was, then intentionally pretended to unintentionally throw the snake over there.
“Ah ah ah ah!” Annie was spooked out of her mind, though Xiao Chen’s speed and strength was well controlled. The snake basically only brushed past Annie’s shoulder without latching onto her body, but it was still enough to scare her.
[Love Is Deep And Ever-lasting: Damn, the little assistant is awesome!
Protect My Family’s Big Brother For His Whole Life: Ahhhhhhhh! He actually directly used his bare hands! It’s too scary.
Summer Summer: My mom asked why I was kneeling while watching the live broadcast, so frightening.
Blue Beauty: F*ck, turns out there’s actually someone bold enough to catch the snake with just their hands? Is that snake poisonous or not? Looking at it even makes me a little scared!
Coconut Under The Coconut Tree: I’ve been won over as a fan of the little assistant, my god! Movements quick and fluent, it’s just too cool alright?]
The rest of the group, including Wang Xueke, were all stunned by Xiao Chen’s series of unexpected moves. Dumbfounded, they felt as though they were meeting this person for the first time.
Wang Xueke still felt a little tremble in her heart. After she finally confirmed that the snake was taken away by someone, her legs weakened to collapse on the ground, loudly crying out.
With no snake in the vicinity, Xiao Chen walked back to his original position silently. When he passed by Du Chonghua, he could clearly see the horror and fear in his eyes.
And also a disdain that had nowhere to go.
Tsk.
Xiao Chen was too lazy to care about him, picking up the bag that was discarded on the ground, patting the dirt off, and started carrying it again.
All at this moment, everyone looked at each other, and with tacit understanding actually started to walk forward in an artificial manner. With caring expressions likesuddenly flipping from winter to summer, they were very concerned and caring.
The compassion at this time greatly contrasted with what just happened, leaving the people in the live broadcast room speechless.
[I Want A Boyfriend: This is the first time in my life that I have experienced first hand what it means to be duplicitous.
🎶: I f*cking vomited watching this, their acting skills are really too bad, you laugh so awkwardly and still dare pretend to console, it’s really laughable to death.
I’m Really Not Pornographic: Tsk tsk tsk, the little death squad faked their friendships!
Buying A Facial Mask: Hahahaha, I think Wang Xueke has ten thousand llamas flying in her heart. I can’t bear to look anymore, these people really are too indifferent.]
Wang Xueke was so frightened she lost her voice, her heart pounding non-stop. Looking at the hypocritical faces surrounding her, she felt so disgusted that she almost vomited.
How f*cking hypocritical, this group of people! Doesn’t she usually help them out a lot? Never expected them all to be so cold-blooded!
Who would have thought?
At such a critical moment, the only person who offered her a helping hand was Xiao Chen, whom she always looked down upon and didn’t even want to talk to!
Thinking to this point, the weak legged Wang Xueke slowly raised her head, looking at the man who did not pay any attention to himself and had his eyes lowered, Xiao Chen. Her heart felt sour and complicated.
Xiao Chen stood still, and continued to listen to the rustling sounds that continuously crept closer.
Paired with the farce just now, he already had seven or eight answers in mind.
The sounds didn’t come from just one direction.
Instead, it was from all directions at the same time.
How many were there?
Tsk tsk.
It really was incalculable.
Annie, who was originally squatting next to Wang Xueke, suddenly widened her eyes and jumped up from the ground in fright. Her voice trembling and frightened, she immediately screamed, attracting the attention of the people around her. “Ahhhhhh! Quick, look at the ground!”
Everyone immediately followed her warning and looked at the ground.
Damn, really doomed to die.
The fun begins now!
I’ve been coughing for half a day now…I hope I’m not sick
PS: Actually I own a pet python, so while translating I didn’t really get what’s so scary about them…maybe it’s just me, but I feel like everyone here is just freaking over nothing! What’s wrong with some snake scales? A little bit of tail? Some flickering of the tongue? It’s nothing but cute ah. The snake really suffered injustice when it got thrown away like that!
