48 Chapter 48 Lone Wolf

“First bow to sky and earth. Second bow to mutual parents.”

“Congratulations! The wolverine now has a son and daughter!”

“I finally believe that this variety show has no script! After all, who could have thought of such a scene!”

Lin Xinmeng and Qin Yitan were worn out. They never stopped bowing to the wolverine.

The wolverine slowly walked around them, and its eyes were alert.

“Why does Qin Yitan look like a weak fool? Doesn’t he always post photos of him working out in the gym on Twitter?”

“I remember he even showed off his eight-pack abs the day before the show started. Could it be that they were all photoshopped? Oh my god, so even male celebrities photoshopped their photos!”

“The wolverine must be thinking: “Who are these two idiots who don’t look appetizing?””

Lin Xinmeng was like a lamb that had been tied up and was waiting to be slaughtered. Her eyes were red, and she was completely at a loss.

Just as the two of them were about to form a will to accept the fact that they were going to be eaten by the wolverine, a voice came from behind them.

“Qin Yitan, Lin Xinmeng, what are you two doing here in the middle of the night?”

It was Lu Mingyu’s voice.

Qin Yitan and Lin Xinmeng seemed to have found a life-saving straw. They turned to the side at the same time. Other than Lu Mingyu, the others had also arrived.

Lin Xinmeng was overjoyed to see Zhou Moli. She muttered tremblingly, “Zhou Moli, save me!”

Qin Yitan looked at the four people in a circle. He did not know who to call and feared provoking the wolverine. He lowered his voice and uttered, “Help! There’s a beast here!”

As soon as he said that, everyone noticed the wolverine that was blocked by Qin Yitan and Lin Xinmeng.

The wolverine was nearly a meter long, and its teeth looked fierce.

Lu Mingyu quickly stood before Lu Yang and shielded her behind him. “Yangyang, don’t be afraid. I’m here. I won’t let it hurt you.”

“Mingyu, don’t act rashly,” Lu Yang said.

The wolverine’s movements were unclear, its motions were swift, and it had the power to strike in addition to harboring grudges.

Qin Yitan tried to stand up, but as soon as he moved his left knee, the wolverine grumbled and hissed. It kept spitting out its saliva. Qin Yitan was so scared that he did not dare to move.

Lin Xinmeng’s legs were weak, and she couldn’t stand up.

The wolverine continued to circle around the two of them and did not react to the four newcomers.

Zhou Moli picked up a wooden stick and carefully took a step forward.

Lu Yang saw his actions from the corner of her eye and reminded, “Wolverines are very fierce animals. They have more thorns than cacti and are difficult to deal with.”

The wolverine sniffed Qin Yitan.

Qin Yitan was so scared that he did not even know how to control his expression. “Stop talking. It’s going to bite me!”

Wen Jian picked up a suitable stone. She turned around and asked, “Lu Yang, do you have any good ideas?”

Lu Yang’s dark eyes scanned the cave, and she was silent for two seconds before she uttered, “There’s a saying that one would rather face a lone wolf than an evil badger. We can only lure it back into the cave.”

Zhou Moli turned to look at the calm Lu Yang and questioned, “How?”

Lu Yang looked at Qin Yitan and explained, “Qin Yitan has honey in his pocket, which wolverines like. Throw the honey into the hole, and the wolverine will go back.”

Hearing that, Qin Yitan clutched his honey tightly. He looked like he would rather die than submit.

“No! The honey must not be given to it! These are the supplies the program team gave me! With so many of you, you can defeat the wolverine and save us!”

The wolverine raised its head and met Lu Yang’s gaze.

One had a sharp gaze, while the other had a clear gaze.

“Hahaha! Why do I feel like Lu Yang and the wolverine are getting along so well? They’re staring at each other, and it’s so cute.”

“The wolverine and badger must be thinking if she’s treating them like a dog. That works too! I can be Sister Yang’s lackey!”

“The wolverine’s little eyes are indeed a little cute when it’s angry. Hahaha!”

Lu Yang shrugged. “That won’t do. Wolverines is one of the top protected animals in the country. We can’t hurt it.”

Qin Yitan was hesitant.

The wolverine suddenly howled beside him, and Qin Yitan immediately agreed. “I don’t want the honey anymore, okay?”

“Of course.”

Lu Yang smiled. “Throw the honey into the hole. Be quick. Otherwise, the wolverine might eat your hand and the honey. Even God won’t be able to save you.”

Qin Yitan felt a sharp pain in his wrist when he heard those words. He did not hesitate any longer. He stood up quickly and threw his arm into the dark cave.

The wolverine, which had a keen sense of smell, made a unique sound, held the slope, and returned to the cave.

They were finally safe.

Qin Yitan’s heart was no longer beating wildly. Instead, he felt a warm current flowing into his heart, as if he had received a special gift from god.

“Everyone, don’t hurt the wolverine, and don’t let it hurt you! It’s good that Lu Yang is here. Otherwise, this show would have to be canceled!”

“No wonder the wolverine kept staring at Qin Yitan’s pocket. It smelled honey!”

“Hahahaha! So, Lin Xinmeng was the only one hurt in this matter? She called the wolverine dad for nothing.”

“Why do I feel like Qin Yitan is looking at Lu Yang like she’s a god?”

Zhou Moli gave Qin Yitan a meaningful look, then looked at Lin Xinmeng.

Lin Xinmeng’s hair was stained with grass bits from the chaotic groveling, giving her a wretched appearance.

“What are you doing here?” she asked with a smile.

“It was Lu Yang and Lu Mingyu’s turn to stand guard.” Wen Jian explained. “But we couldn’t find you guys. We feared something might have happened to you, so we came out to look for you.”

“I see. Thank you.”

Lin Xinmeng glanced at Zhou Moli and became excited. “Zhou Moli, thank you too.”

Wen Jian looked at Lin Xinmeng, who was still kneeling on the ground, in confusion. “Why don’t you get up?”

Lin Xinmeng was instantly embarrassed and stammered, “I’ve knelt for too long. M-My legs are numb…”

The six of them returned and lined up according to the time they had agreed on earlier for guard duty.

As expected, Lu Mingyu let Lu Yang rest while he guarded alone.

Lu Yang knew how stubborn her brother could be, so she didn’t reject his idea.

In the middle of the summer night, the bonfire glowed brightly in the dark forest. Gradually, the fire died down, leaving only a little heat.

A red glow appeared in the light blue sky, and the beautiful sun rose from the edge. The sky above the forest suddenly spread out with thousands of light rays.

It was a brand new day. Everyone gathered together to discuss mission 3.

“0312 is the tree planting festival, so does that mean that mission 3 is about planting trees?” Qin Yitan suddenly asked.

Wen Jian thought about the blue pearl from earlier and shook her head.

“No, no. Since Mission 7 is to find the pearl, mission 3 should also be to find the pearl. The pearl should be buried under a tree if it’s related to tree planting. If we find that tree, we can complete mission 3!”

“You’re wrong!” Qin Yitan retorted. “How could mission 3 still be looking for a pearl? That’s impossible!”

The two had their own opinions and could not come to a consensus.

Zhou Moli turned and asked, “Lu Yang, what do you think?”

Lu Yang looked into the distance and stated, “The people from the program team are here.”
