Chapter 5 The Most Beautiful Xiangxi (5)

Shi Tao shivered in the cold rain.

The impulse and courage to squeeze to the front of the line disappeared under Bingjiu's scrutinizing gaze. Humiliation and inferiority made Shi Tao subconsciously turn sideways, trying to hide only half of his left arm.

But he froze, and finally showed himself completely in front of Bingjiu, dejected and desperate.

Fear of being abandoned, fear of Bingjiu disapproval.

In this dangerous journey that is mixed with supernatural elements and requires fighting at all times, Shi Tao's title is almost useless, and he can't even sense the danger.

"Drunk and beautiful Xiangxi, how could it be drunk and beautiful Xiangxi..."

My brother, who has always been strong, cried secretly that night after he found out.

They are brothers, and they were both selected into the hotel and depended on each other for their lives.

But Shi Tao is not as talented as his elder brother. He has a special title and was selected by the Grand Brigade. Apart from a fairly strong body, Shi Tao had nothing. After several journeys, Shi Tao was still only an intermediate two-star traveler, struggling in the hotel.

When he learned that Shi Tao had been selected into the Drunken Beauty Xiangxi, Shi Xiao was so anxious that he even asked the captain of his own brigade to give Shi Tao a life-saving prop.

But the difficulty of Zuimei Xiangxi is so high that even my brother cannot guarantee that he will come out alive.

Shi Tao was already prepared to die as soon as he got out of the car. If his brother hadn't almost fallen out with him, Shi Tao would have almost wanted to stuff the life-saving props back.

It's not worth it, it's a waste of money on him.

It’s just death, what’s there to be afraid of?

But now, an hour and a half has passed, and Shi Tao is still not dead.

Even they were only half way away from the first scenic spot.

The courage to die generously before was washed away by the cold rain. When he thought of death, Shi Tao trembled with fear.

Death is really scary.

Shi Tao didn't want to die, but he knew that in the current situation, the tour guide would definitely make a choice.

Either leave the weakest behind, or only protect the passengers near the front - then Shi Tao will be dead!

So he rushed out like crazy and even knelt down to plead with Bingjiu, humbly begging for his mercy. All self-esteem disappears in the face of death.

He wanted to go back alive and see his brother again alive.

"What kind of waste are you, and you are worthy of carrying Brother Ninth?!"

The passengers were stunned by Shi Tao's boldness, and Lin Xi was the first to jump up in anger.

"A cripple, you can't afford to die if you throw Brother Ninth!"

Lin Xi's disdainful ridicule was like a sharp sword, which stabbed Shi Tao so hard that he couldn't lift his head.

"I, I will carry it very steadily."

Shi Tao begged, almost begging, his mind went blank, and he kept saying this sentence over and over again: "Please allow me to carry you!"

"Are you an idiot? Can't you understand people?!"

Lin Xi was hysterical with anger, and even rushed forward to push Shi Tao away, but deep in her eyes was the same fear as Shi Tao:

"Why are you so selfish! If you delay any longer, the entire brigade will die!"

Yes, everyone knows that they have to leave the weak behind and speed up. They are all gathering energy in private, pretending to be peaceful on the surface, but in fact they are gritting their teeth and thinking about surpassing others.

If you surpass others, you won't die!

The last one deserves to die!

But Shi Tao's appearance made this point naked in front of everyone.

No one wants to die, and everyone knows that the closer you are to the tour guide, the safer you are.

But they didn't dare, let alone make such a request like Shi Tao, because no tour guide would allow tourists to get close.

Not to mention the crazy Bingjiu!

If Shi Tao angers Bingjiu, they will all die!

Being beaten by Lin Xi, Shi Tao was as motionless as a stubborn stone. He kept repeating numbly and in a low voice like crazy:

"I can carry you very steadily and run very fast. Please let me carry you, please let me carry you -"

"you!"

Lin Xi was so angry that he even pointed a knife at Shi Tao: "If you don't get out, I will——"

"Lin Xi."

A cold male voice sounded, and Lin Xi shut up instantly and obediently put her hands behind her back. From an angle that Bingjiu couldn't see, he smiled sinisterly at Shi Tao, wanting to see the tragic end that he caused Bingjiu.

Shi Tao will not end well. All the passengers knew that Shi Tao himself was numb with despair.

But Bingjiu was very interested. He cast a playful and contemptuous gaze on Shi Tao, as if he thought it was very bold and interesting for him to make this request with a broken arm.

"One arm, can you carry me?"

"laugh!"

Lin Xi laughed loudly, but Shi Tao desperately tried to grasp the last straw:

"I can, I can!"

Shi Tao shouted loudly and repeated incoherently: "I can carry it very steadily, and I guarantee it with my life! I -"

"Okay, let me give you a try."

Lin Xi's laughter stopped suddenly and her eyes widened in confusion. Everyone in the brigade was shocked and couldn't believe it!

But before others could react, Shi Tao quickly stood up and turned his travel bag in front of him.

Using the fastest and most careful technique, Shi Tao carefully 'invited' Bingjiu onto his back. Then he pulled out the climbing rope and used his left arm as the fulcrum. Shi Tao quickly wrapped the climbing rope twice and fixed Bingjiu in place.

With his right arm alone, his movements are still very flexible.

As if to show his physical strength, Shi Tao immediately started running steadily with Bingjiu on his back, and the brigade that was still in a state of confusion began to trot all the way, many times faster than before.

"Follow up."

Wei Xun held the tour guide's flag in one hand, and his right hand on Shi Tao's shoulder was still holding the dagger tightly.

Just now, if Shi Tao had knelt down just a moment later, Wei Xun's dagger would--

Just inserted it into myself.

In other words, by severely injuring yourself, you can reset the death countdown to zero.

When Wei Xun first went up the mountain, he realized that he couldn't deal with eight strong young men at the moment.

How to become a tour guide?

Wei Xun asked sincerely in his heart. Although the tour guide rules he received were incomplete, the hotel would give a reminder every time Wei Xun mentioned keywords.

Wei Xun really found a method that can be used now!

[Return to Zero: The tour guide resets the death countdown to zero by seriously injuring himself, thus gaining ‘extraordinary’ power]

【Notice! Any tour guide must be careful when using the reset method, otherwise it will cause irreparable consequences! ! ! 】

The death countdown reaches zero and you gain ‘supernatural’ power?

This reminded Wei Xun of the demonic monster he turned into in his nightmares.

It's just that Wei Xun has no points now, and once the death countdown reaches zero, there is no way back. [Return to Zero] is a trump card, and Wei Xun will not use it until the last moment.

I chose Shi Tao because he had a broken arm, the lowest rank, and was frightened out of his wits, so it was best to control him.

If the rest of the journey continues like this, Wei Xun's physical strength will be difficult to support and he will need a good pair of "legs."

Shi Tao was indeed worthy of the title of athlete. He was still running steadily on the slippery mountain road with Bingjiu on his back. Wei Xun could feel Shi Tao's muscles underneath him like a running cheetah, undulating and full of vitality.

This is something Wei Xun, the patient, has never had.

We are all men, who doesn’t want to have good muscles. Wei Xun was a little envious, he couldn't help but touch it, and then touched it again.

Then I felt the muscles under my body stiffen at first, then tighten up, as hard as a rock.

[You started to engage in yellow, the current yellow value is 1]

Wei Xun:? ? ?

Ah, this, does this count as pornographic?

Wei Xun subtly moved his hand away. With Shi Tao on his back, Wei Xun felt much more relaxed and had enough energy to start adjusting his team.

Under his adjustment, the entire team changed into a date core shape, with Shi Tao carrying Wei Xun on his back being protected in the middle. This formation allowed more passengers to be protected by the badge, making it safer than the previous formation.

At the current speed, we will reach our destination in another ten minutes.

"accelerate."

But Wei Xun still ordered the passengers to speed up and speed up like a ruthless dictator, using all his strength to run.

The sound of dense rain hit the lush leaves, crackling, but it was like some creature leaping on the branches and leaves, chasing the team closely!

The badge on the chest is shockingly hot, "Believe in Science" is issuing a warning! Wei Xun touched the brooch a little, and a monster immediately appeared in his mind.

It was like a skinned baby, covered in blood and lying on all fours, with loose scarlet skin hanging down between its limbs.

The penetrating eyes revealed unabashed malice and ferocity, and the backs of the fleeing brigade were reflected in their eyes.

Getting closer, getting closer——

It's chasing the brigade!

"Don't deviate from the mountain path!"

The tour guide's flagpole was like a whip whipping the passengers, and Wei Xun was calmly driving his flock like a sheepdog. He mentally calculated the speed of the monsters and the distance between them and their destination.

In a short period of time, the brigade covered more than a quarter of the mountain road. From now on, half of the buildings hidden in the forest can be vaguely seen - Xiaolong Yizhuang.

Each scenic spot in the journey has a safe period. As long as you arrive at Xiaolong Yizhuang, the monsters chasing behind you will no longer be a threat for the time being!

Under Wei Xun's constant urging, the passengers were all as tired as dogs, huffing and puffing. At this time, the difference in physical strength finally emerged. Shi Tao only had one arm left and was still carrying Wei Xun, but he was still neither panting nor tired, and maintained a constant speed.

But at the back of the team, some people were exhausted and began to lose touch!

Run faster, run faster.

Miao Fangfei ran as hard as she could, until her lungs came out of her lungs, but the sharp pain in her lower abdomen still greatly slowed down her speed.

Miao Fangfei's face was pale and she clenched her teeth. Physiological tears mixed with the rain, blurring her face. The severe abdominal pain felt like snakes and insects were biting and gnawing at her internal organs.

Although Miao Fangfei had used props before coming here, what she didn't expect was that the effect of any prop would be weakened in "Drunken Beautiful Xiangxi"!

It hurts, it hurts so much, it hurts more than the desert wolf biting my arm through in the past trip.

Following the team until now, Miao Fangfei was already in a trance. If it weren't for the fear of madman Bingjiu and the desire to survive, which made her instinctively obey his orders and run with all her strength, Miao Fangfei might have fallen behind at some point.

And now, Miao Fangfei is almost at her limit!

‘Miao Fangfei! ’

It's... the voice of tour guide Bingjiu...

Is he... calling her?

But why does the sound come from behind?

Miao Fangfei was slightly startled. Her slow reaction due to severe pain and physical exhaustion made her less aware of the crisis.

‘Miao Fangfei! ’

The fear of Bingjiu made Miao Fangfei dare not ignore his call. She hesitated and stopped, and Miao Fangfei looked back.

But he was facing a strange scarlet head, like a baby's skull! The sharp and dark claws pierced Miao Fangfei's shoulder, and blood gushed out instantly.

"ah--!!!"
