Chapter 286 The Power of Insects
Although the temperature was low in the mountains at night, the guests did not feel cold because they had drunk chicken soup.
The dining chairs in the middle of the courtyard were removed, and a fire was lit. Many people sat in the courtyard warming themselves by the fire, chatting about all sorts of things.
These tour groups were all organized by a man named Duan Hong.
We also hired a driver.
"Brother Hong, shall we go into the mountains first thing tomorrow morning? I'm really curious if there are wild men in these mountains."
"Yes, I came here from the video. I promised my friends that I would definitely film the wild man."
"Whether there are wild men or not, just ask the owners here. They must have heard something about them since they live here."
Someone suggested that the boss should come out and say something.
However, after looking around and not seeing the owner or any staff, they had no choice but to give up.
"Ms. Miao and the others are probably asleep. After all, there's not much nightlife here."
As for whether there are wild men, isn't that exactly the purpose of our trip?
We'll set off tomorrow morning after breakfast.
Duan Hong's words piqued everyone's interest again, and many people were thinking about how to communicate if they really encountered wild men.
They considered all possibilities, but they never thought about whether they might not be able to go back.
Tian Zhenzhen didn't go out; she wasn't a very sociable person to begin with.
She simply couldn't bring herself to chat with a group of unfamiliar people.
She was sitting in a chair playing a tower defense game with Xiaomei.
She secured five first kills and quickly won the victory.
"Sister Xiaomei, your skills are amazing! I've even leveled up by following your techniques."
Tian Zhenzhen had played this game before, and it went quite smoothly at first.
Later, she encountered several bizarre teammates in a row, causing her rank, which she had painstakingly climbed up, to drop.
She was so angry that she didn't play for a long time.
I'm bored here today and thought I'd play a few rounds of games.
With Xiaomei by her side, they won every single game.
Xiao Mei's skills are quite impressive; she turned the tide several times.
"Boss, this is nothing. As a companion robot, it's only natural that you should have fun."
For Xiaomei, a robot, playing a game is incredibly easy.
"Haha, let's play one more round."
Enjoying her victory, Tian Zhenzhen became addicted to playing on her phone.
After Tian Zhenzhen had played several rounds of the game, Tian Daqiang appeared in the room.
"Daqiang is back. What's the situation in the mountains?"
Tian Zhenzhen was too lazy to move at night, so she sent Tian Daqiang to Miaoling Mountain to find out what was going on.
"Boss, there are spatial fluctuations inside, but we didn't force our way in as you requested."
"Also, the traces of savages and wild animals you asked me to find, I actually found them."
After he finished speaking, a projection screen appeared in front of Tian Daqiang, displaying images.
Although it was getting dark, Tian Daqiang's camera equipment had night vision capabilities, so the image was quite clear.
The video was taken from above, and Tian Zhenzhen saw a monster that was over two meters tall and had an ugly appearance.
The monster's eyes turned emerald green at night, it emitted threatening growls from its throat, and its limbs made attacking motions.
It was confronting a black bear weighing over 300 pounds.
The two sides are locked in a standoff.
Tian Zhenzhen had watched many videos before, all praising the bear for being very smart and having a powerful claw that few could rival.
The black bear stood majestically, its fur glowing eerily in the darkness. Its massive paws pounded the ground powerfully, and it growled softly, as if in defiance of a monster.
The two quickly engaged in combat. Although they were similar in size, the monster was noticeably thinner and not in the same weight class.
Upon impact, the monster was sent flying, looking as if it could fall apart at any moment.
The black bear seized the opportunity to take down its opponent in one fell swoop, and pressed down on the monster before it could even get up.
It seemed that if the black bear swung its paw just one more time, it could smash the monster beneath it to pieces.
The black bear thought this and did this; it raised its glowing paw, ready to strike the monster's head.
This palm strike will definitely cause the monster's head to explode, with blood flowing everywhere.
But just as the black bear raised its paw, the monster sensed the danger. Its originally emerald green eyes suddenly turned blood red.
The red eyes gleamed with endless ferocity, and without warning, more than a dozen strips of flesh suddenly sprouted from the monster's body.
These strips of meat, like cold, venomous snakes, pierced directly into the black bear's body.
The black bear tried to struggle in pain, but it was as if it were strung on iron skewers and couldn't turn over at all.
Its body was lifted up by these waving strips of meat. The black bear did not struggle for long before its body quickly withered away, until only a black bear skin remained.
The battle ended quickly, and Tian Zhenzhen was quite surprised when she saw the strips of meat.
"What kind of monster is this?" Tian Zhenzhen asked, looking puzzled.
At first, she thought the world was the same as before she transmigrated.
But later I learned that there were martial artists, and now these monsters have appeared.
She had never seen anything like the monster's appearance or those strips of meat before.
"These are the results of the monster scan. It turns out the monster is just an empty shell, controlled by a worm inside."
As Tian Daqiang explained, the screen changed from the video of the battle to a 3D projection, on which a small worm was growing in the heart of the monster.
"Is an insect this powerful? It can actually control a body and kill a black bear."
Tian Zhenzhen recalled that her mental scan had detected a lot of insects here, and she couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.
There was nothing Tian Zhenzhen could do; her biggest fear was insects.
I remember when I was in school, in the summer, if I didn't want to be in the sun, I would walk in the shade of a tree.
But when you walk under a tree, you have to keep your eyes on the ground, because you never know when an insect might land on you.
She was often frightened by these insects when she was a child, and she still finds it a bit strange to this day.
"Don't worry, boss. I have prepared insecticide powder, which is the natural enemy of these insects."
"Put the sachet I just made on your person, and I guarantee no insects will come within a meter."
Xiao Mei sensed Tian Zhenzhen's resistance and gently comforted her.
Upon hearing this, Tian Zhenzhen's emotions indeed calmed down considerably.
Actually, she's not that fragile; she's just been a bit too sensitive lately.
"It seems that Miaoling Mountain is full of dangers. Curiosity really killed the cat."
Tian Zhenzhen thought about the people who had come to stay with her this time. Tomorrow she would try to persuade them not to go into the mountains. Whether they listened or not was not her concern.
However, she felt it would be difficult to persuade her otherwise.
She then contacted the Douyu platform and had all trending videos about Miaoling Mountain removed, and the hype surrounding Miaoling Mountain quickly subsided.
It was almost bedtime, so Tian Zhenzhen went downstairs to wash up.
As I approached the bathroom door, I heard a scream.
"Ah~~~"
Then Tian Zhenzhen felt something flying towards her.
She activated her mental energy and quickly discovered that what was flying towards her was an insect.
It turned out to be Lily from the five-person team. She felt something strange in her hand while brushing her teeth.
She looked over and noticed that a bug had crawled onto the back of her hand at some point.
She screamed in fright.
He kept shaking his hand, trying to shake the insect away.
Just then, Tian Zhenzhen came over, and by sheer coincidence, the insect was flung away and flew towards her face.
Tian Zhenzhen didn't bring her sachet with her when she went downstairs to wash up, and she almost got infected because she wasn't careful.
"What a terrible place this is! There are so many bugs here."
Linlin saw the bug being flung away, and she also saw the bug fly towards Tian Zhenzhen, that unlucky girl.
But she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
He started complaining about the environment here.
If she hadn't known Bai Qiu was coming along, she would never have come to a place like this.
After complaining, she rinsed the back of her hand with water, as she felt a slight itch on the back of her hand.
She scrubbed and rubbed her hands until the backs of her hands were red.
Linlin ignored Tian Zhenzhen from beginning to end.
When she finished washing up and was about to leave, she saw Tian Zhenzhen still standing at the door and thought she was going to cause trouble for her because of what had just happened.
She had met Tian Zhenzhen before when they had dinner together. Just by looking at her clothes, she could tell that she was rich and beautiful. Her first impression of her was that she didn't like her.
Seeing that Tian Zhenzhen was alone and had Brother Qi backing her up, she wasn't afraid at all.
