“Look there, guys. After we entered the ‘yin’ side of the mountain, the quantity of the lingzhi has increased.”
Ning Fei pointed to the lingzhi at the base of a tree trunk as he stated.
However, these were just ordinary wild lingzhi. Although it had high nutritional value, it wasn’t worth much.
“Everyone, do take note. Your own safety is the most important thing to remember when you are on an expedition. Of course, it’s not that common to meet danger. We can take note of signs to avoid danger.
“For instance, if you see a pool of urine or a huge pile of animal feces near the trees, you have to be on alert. That would indicate the presence of large wild animals,” Ning Fei said aloud.
His voice was manly, and he spoke neither too fast nor too slow. It was an enjoyment to listen to his clear pronunciation.
‘Webcaster, you’re indeed multi-talented.’
‘You’re handsome and smart. How will the rest of us live?’
‘Haha! No wonder the webcaster hasn’t met any danger ever since he entered the jungle.’
Many fans replied and discussed avidly.
At this time, it was around 10:00 a.m., and the viewers had rolled in steadily and reached 450,000 in number.
Ning Fei halted his footsteps at this time.
He had seen something that wasn’t good.
“Would it be so coincidental?” Ning Fei muttered to himself before he prayed quickly.
He strode forward and peered at the area around a tree. There was a huge pile of animal feces on the ground.
The drone had flown closer to Ning Fei and hovered at a height above his head.
“Viewers, please look at this pile of feces. It’s most likely a large wild animal. This feces hasn’t hardened, and that tells us that the animal is still around here. We have to leave this place right away in such a situation.”
Ning Fei was still talking and was completely oblivious to the fact that something had already happened.
Lily was a university student having her vacation now. She was sprawled on her bed, watching Ning Fei’s webcast.
Ning Fei was handsome, gentle, and refined. He also had a pair of bright eyes that sparkled and glowed. So she had been supporting Ning Fei’s webcast enthusiastically these few days.
She snuggled under her blankets as she continued to admire the nature and scenery that greeted her eyes on the screen.
Lush green color filled everywhere, and the sunlight shone down from the gaps between the leaves. There was a handsome young man in the frame too, and this scene was pleasing and delightful.
She noticed that Ning Fei’s expression had turned somber as he bent down near a tree. He was pointing to the tree as he spoke grimly.
Lily became nervous when she heard him, and her heart stopped beating the next second.
Right behind Ning Fei was a huge figure!
The drone was hovering in front of Ning Fei, so everyone had a clear view of the thing behind him.
There was a bear!
“Ahhh!”
Lily let out a shriek and shot upright on her bed. “Hubby, run now!”
She realized that Ning Fei couldn’t hear, and her fingers flew across her phone.
‘RUN!!!!’
Other than her, the screen had exploded.
‘Run!’
‘Host, behind you!!!!!’
‘LOOK BEHIND YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
Everyone was shouting frantically.
Ning Fei heard the sounds of movement behind him, so he turned around and caught sight of the bear that towered over him. It was strolling leisurely a distance away.
A black bear! Ning Fei’s eyes narrowed in fright.
What bad luck!
Ning Fei calmed down and knew what he had to do.
Black bears could run at 30 miles per hour. To put it simply, the bear was faster than an Olympic sprinter.
If Ning Fei were to turn on his heel and flee, he would just be inviting the bear to chase him.
This was a black bear.
The internet suggestions were for the human to play dead. For normal bears, that might have worked, but black bears would immediately attack humans who pretended to be dead.
Some suggested climbing a tree if one were to meet a black bear, but that was also equivalent to waiting for death.
There was only one way.
He had to retreat slowly.
All the viewers were glued to their screen. It was too exciting. The viewers broke out in cold sweat as they clenched their fists. Many girls had covered their mouths to stop themselves from screaming.
Ning Fei moved backward slowly, step by step.
Fortunately, the black bear didn’t pursue him.
He couldn’t afford to be impatient now. He could only retreat cautiously.
Ning Fei’s eyes had never left the black bear.
When he finally reached a spot where the black bear couldn’t see him, he turned around and fled for his life.
Everyone’s racing hearts calmed down, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
“Viewers, that was a really close and scary shave.”
Ning Fei mopped the beads of perspiration off his face as he panted.
‘Host, you’re brilliant!’
‘Too thrilling! That beast was too terrifying!’
‘Host, you shouldn’t be afraid. Bring it down like a man!’
“Yeah! Teach it a good lesson.’
‘It’s just a bear! I had once killed a tiger with a shovel!’
The comments became lighthearted and playful when Ning Fei was safe.
At the same time, the rewards came whizzing in.
Ning Fei peered at the screen.
Ocean Maggot sent a rocket!
An image of a gigantic rocket flew up, and Ning Fei said, “Thank you, Ocean Maggot, for the rocket!”
He frowned at the weirdness of the name. He shrugged it off and continued his expedition to look for treasures.
He thought that he should obtain some skills before embarking on his next expedition. He should at least be able to deal with such dangerous situations.
At this time, Ning Fei’s eyes lit up, and delight flashed past his face. He widened his eyes as he marched forward.
When the viewers noticed Ning Fei’s expression, they were intrigued.
Had Ning Fei found something?
‘Are you serious?’
Ning Fei took a few more steps before he knelt down beside a huge rock.
‘Host, tell us what you found!’
‘Yeah, what’s that?’
‘Haha! Host must have had a major discovery! He wore that exact expression when he saw the white jade lingzhi.’
Everyone pressed on relentlessly with questions.
At this time, Ning Fei finally spoke up, “Guys, that saying is right. One is destined for good fortune after surviving a disaster. I may have found a true gem. This should be a blood lingzhi. To be precise, it’s the Blood Jade Lingzhi.”
Everyone’s eyes widened at Ning Fei’s proclamation.
