“Please, you sure? Two girls in the Amazon forest? Are you kidding me? Do you have passports? Can you leave the country? I don’t buy it!”
One of the Woolim Military School guys who had been leading his peers to provoke others and looked like a delinquent was the first to yell before he looked at Yun Jian and Mu Ying skeptically.
The disbelief on his expression was palpable to everyone there.
“Yeah, I might believe it if it were a guy but kill me and I still won’t believe it when it comes to you two skinny girls!”
Standing next to the delinquent-looking guy was another guy who was closer to the former as he voiced his support and cackled in chorus.
The first guy was Wu Bukui and the latter was Ma Xiaoyao. These two guys were known for being skilled but did not exactly have the best character among the freshmen in Woolim Military School.
Wu Bukui, especially, had taken advantage of many girls when he gained their admiration for his outstanding performance during the military training. In his own words, he wanted to sleep with all the pretty girls!
He found Yun Jian attractive when he laid eyes on her just now.
As guys, they were the most competitive during adolescence and wanted to prove themselves to be better once they heard that a certain guy was better than them. What was more, this was a girl. They would deny it no matter what if it was a girl who was better than them, unless the girl could convince them otherwise.
Lin Yuan had just wanted to ask Mu Ying about it, not expecting the guys from Woolim Military School to respond, so she stomped her foot angrily.
Mu Ying completely disregarded the guys, like she did not hear them, and answered Lin Yuan, “That was a very long time ago. I spent half a year in Amazonia with Yun Jian. When we went there, forget food, we don’t even have a knife with us. Where wild animals are plenty in the Amazon jungle, I met a pack of panthers once I went in…”
Mu Ying suddenly turned to ask Yun Jian, “Yun Jian, what’s the first animal you met after you got in the jungle?”
Mu Ying’s question to Yun Jian felt reminiscing of their past dangerous adventure. It was both terrifying and nostalgic.
“Cobras, about hundreds of them,” Yun Jian replied with a press of lips and her eyes on the ground.
“Hahaha, panther pack and cobras, eh! What a joke!” Once Mu Ying and Yun Jian finished talking, Wu Bukui, Ma Xiaoyao and the rest of the guys from Woolim Military School began to guffaw again.
Just when they continued taking two steps forward, Yun Jian suddenly looked up and yelled, “Stand right there!”
Everyone halted their steps, shocked by Yun Jian’s loud voice. She had cried loud and clear, surprising Wu Bukui before he snapped back to reality.
“What the heck? Pretty girl, you lost your mind?” Wu Bukui shouted back.
“Move forward and it’s a swamp. You can all forget about living once you step into the swamp,” Yun Jian said impassively.
“Hahaha! A swamp huh? The path in front of us looks normal. Are you kidding us? Or are you obsessed with seeking attention? Is this all you people from Min City Military School can do?”
This time, it was the girl, Xu Wei, who had argued with Lin Shuya earlier who mocked Yun Jian. Obviously, she was disgruntled that Yun Jian seemed to have hogged all the attention of the guys in her school.
“Feel free to go if you want.” Yun Jian did not even look at Xu Wei as she crouched slightly to pick up a big stone from the ground and threw it to the front.
The path that looked smooth like it was an ordinary way suddenly collapsed and “swallowed” the stone entirely.
Xu Wei who wanted to mock Yun Jian further was shocked. The other students quickly stopped themselves and paled from the terror. The ground that looked no different than other surfaces was really a swamp!
Yun Jian was right!
If it were not for her, all of them would have… Once they thought of the possibility, all of them gulped.
