42 Chapter 42 Bear
Lin Xinmeng, Zhou Moli, and Qin Yitan were a few steps behind them.
Lu Yang glanced at them and muttered, “Mingyu, can you tell them that these plants can repel mosquitoes?”
Lu Mingyu turned around and said slowly and loudly, “There are plants that can repel mosquitoes here. Everyone can come over and get some.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xinmeng, who was frowning, immediately opened her eyes.
She mused, “Lu Mingyu couldn’t bear to see me get bitten by mosquitoes. Everyone still loves me!”
Qin Yitan noticed that Lu Mingyu’s arm had turned green because of the plant juice. He hesitantly asked, “Are you sure those plants can repel mosquitoes?”
Lu Mingyu gave him a sidelong glance. “It’s up to you to believe me or not.”
Qin Yitan was stunned.
Lu Yang glanced at his expression and casually said, “If you’re afraid it isn’t clean, you can eat it.”
“Eat the mint leaves?” he wondered.
Qin Yitan’s eyes lit up. “Does eating mint leaves can also prevent mosquitoes from biting me?”
“Why does Qin Yitan look like he believed Lu Yang? It’s not clean when applied, so how can it be after eating it?”
“Qin Yitan is like the landlord’s silly son, who is ruined by Sister Yang.”
“I bet Qin Yitan will immediately gobble up the mint leaves if she agrees.”
Lin Xinmeng, who was considering if she should wipe it, heard Lu Yang’s words. She turned to ask curiously, “Really?”
Soon after, Zhou Moli also looked at Lu Yang.
Lu Yang didn’t reply directly and continued to say casually, “You can try.”
Qin Yitan stared at the mint leaf in his hand. After a moment of hesitation, he slowly put it into his mouth and chewed it carefully as if he was tasting delicious food.
Seeing that he had eaten it, Lin Xinmeng also placed it on the tip of her tongue to test it.
The taste was not bad.
Seeing Zhou Moli standing still, Lin Xinmeng looked at him and uttered softly, “I’ll eat it and apply some more liquid. Then, let’s go together so we won’t be bitten by mosquitoes.”
Zhou Moli didn’t understand what she meant, but he still nodded.
“That’s three people who feel for one person’s trick. Sister Yang must be sick of winning.”
“Fortunately, the mint leaves are not poisonous. If they were, they would have been dead in the wilderness.”
“Their IQ is so low. Why do they believe everything Lu Yang says?”
“Is there something going on between Zhou Moli and Lin Xinmeng? Does it feel like they’re flirting?”
The mountain range was a flat slope with a balanced water flow in all aspects. Most of the mountains were single-layered, but this was not the case. There were no steep cliffs.
The mountains in the north were relatively low, scattered among the changing mountains, like a wrinkly blanket spread randomly on a messy bed.
Without Lu Yang, Lu Mingyu’s equipment alone would not be enough to deal with the harsh living environment in the wild. His shoes were not waterproof and could not keep him warm. A swiss knife was not enough to deal with large wild animals.
In addition, Lu Mingyu did not have an axe, insect repellant, compass, or other necessary equipment. The terrain was slowly rising, and the dense forest was as silent as a ghost. Lu Mingyu could not tell the direction, or walk out, and also did not know which plants were edible or inedible. Without energy replenishment, his physical strength would soon be exhausted.
However, things were different now.
Lu Yang was here.
The environment of the second season of wilderness was terrifying for most people. The vines were twisted and slanted, and the deeper one went in, the more the shadows of the trees blocked out the sun, casting only darkness.
The light and shadow gradually melted into the dense forest, and the atmosphere was strange and weird, making people feel a little uneasy.
To ease the atmosphere, Wen Jian pressed her hand against the tree and asked, “This tree is a little similar to the trees in the ‘Boonie Bears’ animation. Do you guys think we’ll encounter a bald strong man trying to cut down trees?”
“Bald and strong? A big bald man cutting trees with an electric saw?” Lin Xinmeng mused.
Thinking up to this point, an image appeared in her mind, and Lin Xinmeng grew even more anxious.
Lu Mingyu chuckled. “I don’t think bald head man will work. You can fantasize about the two bears, Briar and Bramble.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a creepy whimpering sound came from the gap of silence.
“Oh my god, not only does Wen Jian jinx people but Lu Mingyu too?”
“I’m scared to death even through the screen. The sound of this valley is too scary!”
“Is this a horror movie? It is so eerie, and there are no signs of life… Is a special effect going to happen?”
“The commenter above, this is a live broadcast, not a recorded broadcast. There are only prophets!”
Lu Mingyu’s reaction was quick. He moved his feet and stood in front of Lu Yang.
In a flash, his expression became solemn, his eyes as sharp as an eagle’s as he vigilantly scanned his surroundings.
Lin Xinmeng was so scared that she was sweating profusely. She reached out and grabbed onto Zhou Moli’s arm. Her voice was trembling. “Is there really bears here?”
Qin Yitan furrowed his brows tightly. The land in his sight was desolate, and he was stunned.
He mused, “Why didn’t the program team say that there would be a bear? To think that I have given them so many gifts. It’s all for nothing!”
Zhou Moli’s gaze stopped at Lin Xinmeng’s hand on his elbow. He was stunned for two seconds before he consoled, “We have weapons. Don’t worry.”
Lin Xinmeng broke into a smile, and her eyes filled with gratitude. “All right.”
Lu Yang looked at Lu Mingyu’s sturdy back and said in a clear voice, “If we really run into gray bears, not only will the swiss knife not be able to deal with them, but it will also anger them.”
Lin Xinmeng took over the conversation and said confidently, “If we run into a bear, we can just climb up a tree!”
When she was reading survival tips, she saw this sentence: Climb a tree when you encounter a bear.
“You aren’t able to climb tall trees, but the gray bears can push down the trees you can climb,” Lu Yang said casually. After all, gray bears can push down a black spruce tree easily.
“How is that possible?” Lin Xinmeng retorted, “Do you have any evidence? ”
“It’s just a guess.”
“I bet Lu Yang is trying to tell her to stop asking as she’s just making a guess.”
“Let me guess the answer, and then I’ll let the grizzly bear carry it out.”
“Since you said that we can’t climb trees, you have to tell us a way,” Qin Yitan exclaimed, “We followed you all the way here. You have to be responsible for our safety!”
Lu Mingyu glanced at him and responded, “It’s very simple if you want the bear to let you go. You just have to kneel and call it your dad.”
Qin Yitan glared at him and didn’t know how to retort.
“A vicious tiger that doesn’t eat its cubs has become a vicious bear that doesn’t eat its cubs. Hahahahaha!”
“The bear would tell him not to call him its dad as it doesn’t have a son as useless as him.”
“Thanks to Lu Mingyu’s lame jokes and the scary environment, I’m not afraid anymore!”
“Lu Mingyu’s classic joke: ‘A vicious tiger doesn’t eat its cubs’. It’s always present!”
Zhou Moli ignored their conversation and asked Lu Yang, “We’ve walked quite a bit today. Did you find anything related to clue 3?”
He had a strong mentality. Even in such an urgent environment, he did not forget to think about clue 3.
Lu Yang was listening attentively, trying to determine which direction the sobbing sound was coming from.
She snapped back to her senses and looked at him when she heard his question.
Their eyes met, and Lu Yang’s hand slowly moved, pointing to the bushes five meters to the left.
“Here.”
