As he was deep in thought, Tan Xiao, not far away, waved at him and shouted, “Boss! You go in first! Maybe the old man will have all the landing points worked out soon. We shouldn’t be too headstrong with that toad demon!” He did care about Shen MO quite a bit.
Shen MO gripped his knife, rubbing it back and forth on the shell a few times, glanced coldly at the golden sphere high above, and then crawled into the shell.
Another round of earth-shaking tremors.
The golden sphere came to a halt.
The frog emerged.
“Ribbit—ribbit—”
The frog, having abstained from food for two rounds, couldn’t bear it any longer, and began to stir the mud with its front legs, poking at the snails in the field, trying to find a few bugs to fill its stomach.
This sudden turn of events took everyone by surprise.
Feeling the trembling of the mud, everyone tensely tightened their nerves at the same time, and attempted to burrow as far into the shells as they could. They pressed their bodies against the narrow inner walls to prevent being ejected by the vibrations.
“Ribbit ribbit! — Ribbit! ???????? The frog became increasingly agitated. The mud was constantely shaking due to the frog’s flippers stirring it!
Bai Youwei heard a short, sharp scream from outside!
A sudden noise that vanished instantly, it was so short in duration that it was impossible to pinpoint the unfortunate victim.
Bai Youwei, however, could not afford to make that determination right now, because she was already on the verge of falling!
The lack of strength in her lower limbs indeed put her at a great disadvantage in this game!
Splash!
The snail shell where Bai Youwei was hiding had been flipped over. She was thrown out of the shell and into the thick mud, landing hard.
As her body sank, Bai Youwei lay still.
She knew she shouldn’t move. If she did, she would be eaten by the frog like a bug! So she had to stay steady, steady…
The stench of the swamp water was rushing in from all directions, like slimy serpents, invading her nostrils, her eyes, her ears, and her mouth… Bai Youwei was desperately holding her breath, but the fear of approaching death, and the disorientation of losing her footing, still tortured her mind!
The feeling was absolutely horrendous!
But to survive, she had to endure!
Ironically, she had been someone who constantly thought of death, yet in this game, she revealed such a strong desire to survive.
An arm wound around her waist and lifted her forcefully!
She was suddenly being exposed to the fresh air!
Bai Youwei opened her eyes and gasped for air. Mud dripped down from her face and head. She saw the man’s broad, sturdy chest, and as she lifted her head, it was Shen Mo’s aloof face.
Bai Youwei just looked at him, unable to speak a word, panting heavily due to the lack of oxygen.
Shen MO wanted to put her down.
But she clung to his arm and refused to let go!
The fear that the thick mud provoked was still present, and she trembled in his arms like a rabbit that had just survived a catastrophe.
Shen MO frowned but didn’t let go in the end.
Tan Xiao leaned in from the side, his silvery hair turned to a mess after being stuck with mud. He said to Bai Youwei, “Don’t worry, the frog is gone!”
He then moved his hand back and forth under his neck and mimed the action of cutting his stomach open, afraid that she wouldn’t understand, he added.
“Your brother slashed its belly open! It ran away!”
Bai Youwei heaved a sigh of relief and closed her eyes, burying her face in Shen Mo’s chest without moving.
“Your sister seems to be in shock.” Tan Xiao sighed with deep understanding, and patted Shen Mo t s shoulder. “Take good care of her. It’s obvious your siblings are close. She can’t be without you.”
Shen Mo: ‘
Bai Youwei was all right before, but that remark inexplicably made her want to laugh. She gave a slight shake of her shoulder stifle a laugh and then asked him in a soft voice, “Have you calculated the landing points?”
Hearing her tone of voice, Shen MO knew she was back to normal and felt somewhat relieved.
Tan Xiao, however, looked heartbroken. He twisted his head and looked at Chang Weicai, who was not too far away, and let out a sigh. “No.” After he said this, no one made a noise.
In the cave, only the rustling sound of the old teacher’s continuous computation could be heard.
The silence was unusually profound.. The taste of despair lingered in everyone’s hearts…
