“Any hint of blood will trigger a frenzy attack from a large group of piranhas. You still have three seconds to get back on the riverbank. Not even god will be able to save you three seconds later,” Yun Jian told Liu Yun as she calmly watched a piece of flesh being bitten off the latter’s leg.
Piranhas usually attacked in groups. There was once a child who accidentally fell into a pond that kept piranhas and was bitten into a scary set of skeleton within minutes. It was not just hearsay but cold hard truth.
“Ah! No! Noo!” Liu Yun whose leg was bitten could care less about the pain as she sprang back onto the riverbank.
The piranha that was biting her kept its bite on her leg and refused to let go, only loosening its jaw when Liu Yun shook her leg with all her might.
Perhaps Liu Yun did not see it but the very second after she hopped out of the water, everyone on land saw the piranhas behind her pouncing like they were high on adrenaline. Some had even bitten Liu Yun’s dress and torn it directly.
“Ah! Ahh! Will they come up on land?!” someone was already screaming, ready to bolt.
“Argh! Ouch!” Liu Yun fell to the ground as she could no longer move. Her leg throbbed in pain; there was already a chunk of flesh missing on her leg from being bitten by the piranha and it already looked terrifying. What was more, she was feeling it.
“Will… Will I die…” Liu Yun hugged her leg and wailed.
“Shut up!” While it became noisy as everyone was horrified and some wanted to go back following the way they came from, planning to give up on the trip altogether, Yun Jian’s holler caused everyone there to quiet down both verbally and physically.
Even Liu Yun was shocked into silence as she held back from crying out in pain.
Yun Jian was the one who said that there were piranhas in the river and some of them had been skeptical about it.
“Yun Jian, h-how did you know that there are… p-piranhas in the river…” Shan Chengjie was already stuttering out of fear.
Yun Jian did not reply to his question directly but scanned everyone around her and answered icily in English where all of them could understand, “If you want to stay alive in the Amazon jungle, remember three things—don’t simply touch things, run around, or move about.”
“If all of you can’t even do these three things, I can let you know very clearly right now that you have two options left—leave, or die!”
Yun Jian’s gaze was sharp like a cutting knife and each word that tumbled out of her mouth was jolting.
Even the tour guide was intimidated by Yun Jian’s icy look.
“Didn’t people say that visiting the Amazon forest is safe with a guide?” a strong, muscular man stepped out to ask; he was a foreigner and was speaking in English.
“Hah,” Yun Jian suddenly chortled. The next second, her gaze turned sharp as she ran a hand in her bag and pulled out a blade precisely without even looking; she then tossed it forward to the muscular man.
“Argh! You!” The man was astonished.
By the time he could snap out of his surprise, the blade on Yun Jian’s hand had flown past him.
“T-that’s… a…” It was then someone gasped and cried in terror when he suddenly realized that there was a cobra that was pinned to a tree right behind the muscular man by the blade that Yun Jian had thrown.
Everyone who turned to look saw the same sight. It meant that if Yun Jian had not reacted in time just now, this cobra that had been hanging just behind the man would have…
While the group was frightened by Yun Jian’s skill, they could not help the delayed fear that crept in. They then heard Yun Jian snorting at the man, “Who else can you depend on if you can’t even protect yourself?”
She stood before the group and suddenly retrieved a bunch of blades from her bag and tossed them on the ground, telling the group, “I don’t team up with trash. From now on, I won’t save any one of you, so you have two options. Either you leave, sooner better than later, or… pick up the blades from the ground and get moving if you want to stay alive!”
