Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother

Chapter 27 Catching a Snake With Bare Hands

The director, excited that Lu Yang finally thought of finding a mission, was listless after a few minutes.

“Why... does she look like she’s at a farmhouse?”

The director looked at Lu Yang’s crystal clear dark eyes on the LCD screen, and his thick eyebrows furrowed.

“Although the environment here isn’t as bad as last season, it shouldn’t have made Lu Yang so happy, should it?” he wondered.

Besides, the guests for this variety show usually brought two or three assistants with them, and they were all pampered children who did not have to do anything.

They naturally did not know how to use nature’s resources fully.

“Director, there’s bad news!”

Suddenly, someone shouted in panic.

The director looked back at the screen.

In the live broadcast, Lu Yang stretched her arm to reach the canarium, unaware of the approaching danger.

Her delicate face was still wearing a soothing smile.

On the branch above Lu Yang’s head, a small dark green snake as thick as two fingers was slowly approaching the back of her neck. It was one with the branch.

It flicked its tongue silently, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

The viewers in front of the screen and Qin Yitan, who saw this scene, held their breath.

“Director, that’s a poisonous snake!” the crew member said in a panic.

“Let’s observe first.”

The director’s heart was in his throat.

Although they had signed the life and death contract to avoid any sudden accidents and shirk responsibility, criticism would undoubtedly come flying if something really happened to Lu Yang.

Qin Yitan’s expression became stiff and serious. He kept his body still, and his pupils trembled slightly.

He mused, “How should I remind Lu Yang? If I made a sound, what if the snake turned around and flew towards me? But if I didn’t say anything, would the netizens blame me for not helping?”

After struggling for a few rounds, he could not decide what to do.

Suddenly, Qin Yitan’s pupils dilated.

Lu Yang, who was picking the canarium, moved as fast as lightning. She grabbed the snake’s head with her left hand and the snake’s tail with her right.

The entire set of movements was natural and smooth. It was done in one go, and she did not even blink.

Qin Yitan didn’t react until Lu Yang put the snake into the bamboo basket.

He was so shocked that he couldn’t speak.

“Am I hallucinating? Why did I see Lu Yang catching the snake with her bare hands?” he continued to think.

Qin Yitan wiped his eyes and was surprised.

“Y-You... The snake...” he stammered and stuttered.

Lu Yang’s good mood wasn’t affected by the sudden occurrence. She stood on her tiptoes and reached out to grab a fist-sized fruit.

“It’s a sweet fruit.”

Qin Yitan was dumbfounded, and he thought, “Is this a reaction of a normal person? How can she still laugh about it?”

“It’s so dreadful. That green snake is poisonous. It can bite you and leave you paralyzed from head to toe and, in extreme situations, with heart failure.”

“Oh my god! Is this really not a recording that is broadcasted live after?”

“This snake really isn’t a special effect! The princess in the fairy tale didn’t lie to me when she caught the snake with her bare hands!”

“A princess catching a snake? Is the commenter in front watching pirated fairy tales? I’m dying of laughter.”

“But Lu Yang was really cool just now! She was so amazing. Please accept my bow!”

Lu Yang turned his head and looked at Qin Yitan’s terrified expression. She smiled. “What a coincidence.”

Qin Yitan mused, “Are we that close? Moreover, I am sworn enemies with her brother. What is with her friendly smile? Doesn’t she hate me just like her brother?”

Qin Yitan suspected that he was dreaming. He put his hand on his thigh and pinched it hard.

He immediately thought inwardly, “It hurts. It’s not a dream!”

Qin Yitan stared at the bamboo basket hanging on Lu Yang’s waist.

Although the snake couldn’t stick its head out of the bamboo basket due to its excellent and tight construction, one could still see it poking out its tongue through the opening.

The snake looked at Qin Yitan, and Qin Yitan looked back at the snake.

A few minutes later, Lu Yang asked curiously, “Do you know each other?”

When Qin Yitan moved his eyes away, the snake also turned its head, and when he looked at it, it turned back to look at him.

“No, no, no... I don’t know the snake!” Qin Yitan denied it immediately.

“Since you’re denying it so firmly, it must be true.”

As she spoke, Lu Yang placed a hand on the bamboo basket and took the hook from the door of the bamboo basket.

“I’ll give it to you since you two know each other so well.”

“No! I’m not... familiar with it!”

Qin Yitan was afraid that Lu Yang would throw it at him, so he fled instantly.

Lu Yang tilted her head. “Huh? Why are you leaving? Don’t you want your friend?”

“Hahahaha! I’m dying of laughter. Despite being a large man, Qin Yitan runs like a little girl.”

...

“Lu Yang is so talented! Who wouldn’t like a smart and adorable girl like her?”

“Lu Yang is an overly sincere person. Hahahahaha!”

Lu Mingyu, who had no idea what was going on, saw Qin Yitan running away and walked to Lu Yang in confusion.

“Yangyang, are you alright?”

“I’m fine.”

Lu Yang’s gaze shifted upwards as she pointed in a direction. “Mingyu, there’s something up there.”

“What is it?”

Lu Mingyu followed her line of sight and saw a rectangular piece of cloth.

Lu Yang continued, “Someone probably threw trash there.”

Lu Mingyu responded, “That’s so immoral. Littering as they please.”

Lu Mingyu picked up a dry branch beside him and easily tore off the rag hanging on the branch.

...

Lu Yang stared at the cloth on the floor thoughtfully. Just as the director was about to exclaim, “She found it! She’s found it!” Lu Yang averted her gaze.

“Let’s go back.”

The director was speechless and wondered, “What’s going on? The clues are right in front of her. Why is she so indifferent?”

The director was about to explode from anger.

But not long after, the director got excited again.

The moment Lu Mingyu and Lu Yang left, Lin Xinmeng and Zhou Moli appeared.

“Lu Yang’s statements are contradictory. She said that the ant nest’s slope is south, but on the other hand, she’s telling us that this is north. I don’t understand why she would lie to us.”

Lin Xinmeng, who still had not gain anything after circling a few rounds, was angry but could not show it.

Zhou Moli, on the other hand, was quite calm. They were rivals, therefore it was expected that they would purposefully offer the wrong instructions.

They only had themselves to blame if they wanted to assign blame. They intended to take advantage of others but ultimately experienced a backlash.

Lin Xinmeng suddenly stepped on something and shouted in surprise, “I found it!”

“What?” Zhou Moli was confused.

Lin Xinmeng lowered her head and picked up the cloth. She said in surprise, “I found a new clue!”

All of the program team’s clues were printed with a logo in the lower left corner.

“Indeed. ” Zhou Moli narrowed his eyes.

“This group’s luck is too good!”

“Lu Yang’s team is idiotic. The clues are in their hands and they’re still indifferent.”

“Lin Xinmeng and Zhou Moli are amazing! They are a perfect match with their looks and intelligence!”

“But what’s drawn on it? Why can’t I understand it?”

Lin Xinmeng scratched her head, and her expression was implying that she had absolutely no clue.

Zhou Moli responded, “It seems to be a drawing of the waves of water. Perhaps it has something to do with water.”

“Does it need to be soaked in seawater for the clue to show? I’ve seen a form of writing that can be seen while the paper is damp, but it can’t be seen when the ink is written on it,” continued Lin Xinmeng.

Zhou Moli glanced at her. “We are thinking of the same thing.”

Lin Xinmeng shyly avoided his gaze. “Then, let’s hurry out of the jungle and try it out at the beach.”

After coming to an agreement, Zhou Moli and Lin Xinmeng quickened their pace.

However, they heard the voices of the staff before they even reached the beach.

“For mission 7, the answer ‘Lu Yang’ is incorrect.”

“For mission 7, the answer ‘Lao Tzu’ is correct.”

“Five points have been added for Lu Mingyu and Lu Yang, who are in team three.”

Zhou Moli and Lin Xinmeng were dumbfounded by this announcement.

The viewers of the live stream broadcast were also extremely confused.

At the same time, in a place where they couldn’t see, the water in the bottle on the electronic watch rose a little.
