Chapter 141 Invincible Bodyguard [Third Release]
"Lynx!"
A white woman dressed in a white down jacket stood up excitedly, exclaiming as she threw aside the frying pan she was holding and took a few steps forward.
A black man stopped her, reminding her, "It's a wild animal, with a wild nature, don't get close."
The white woman said excitedly, "I never thought I'd see a lynx in these mountains; it's so rare, especially since this area is volcanic and lynxes seldom appear here."
The rest of the Adventure Team also began to gather.
Gu Tianjiao couldn't understand her words, but she guessed that most of the people in the team didn't look vicious and were probably not a band of thieves.
Thinking this, Gu Tianjiao crouched on the ground and started licking her paws to act cute.
All the women present were melting at the sight.
"Wow! So cute!"
"What kind of cat is this?"
"It's my first time seeing such an adorable lynx."
"I really want to touch it up close."
"Be careful, it might bite."
Gu Tianjiao continued to act cute while observing the team.
There were sixteen people in total, seven of which were women. Only three men were armed; they looked like special forces, wearing camouflage vests suited for the wilderness. The others seemed like academic researchers, wearing glasses, carrying notepads, briefcases, tablets, etc.
Once they realized Gu Tianjiao posed no threat, the three armed men lowered their hunting rifles as well, but they still prevented the others from getting close to her.
Gu Tianjiao immediately ran back into the cave.
The members of the Adventure Team were momentarily stunned, looking at the entrance of the cave with hesitation, wanting to look inside but wary of the potential danger.
"Let's go, they don't seem like hunters," said Gu Tianjiao to Chu Ge and the other two, and then led the team away.
When she emerged again, all eyes from the Adventure Team followed her.
The next second.
All their eyes widened, and the three armed men raised their hunting rifles.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
What they saw was a majestic African Lion walking out of the cave, followed by a Teddy dog and a Giant Panda.
"This..."
One of the black men was dumbstruck, unable to believe what he was seeing.
What kind of assembly was this?
Chu Ge and his three companions didn't linger and swiftly departed.
Watching their retreating figures, the members of the Adventure Team exchanged bewildered looks, finding the whole situation absurd.
"This is not scientific... These four types of animals shouldn't belong to the same region, and how could they possibly be together?" the white woman murmured. Pushing her glasses up, she felt there was something fishy.
She immediately ordered, "Everyone, pack up and follow them!"
Upon hearing this, the staff of the Adventure Team hurried to gather their belongings.
They were all excited and wanted to follow to see what was going on.
Chu Ge and his companions deliberately slowed down to give them time to catch up.
"With humans following us, we're invincible!" Nangong laughed.
Gu Tianjiao said meaningfully, "As long as we get closer to them and get familiar, they will start to see us as their own. If other Survivors attack us later, they will surely get shot."
"Humans are a complex animal. Just by forming a little bond, their maternal instincts overflow."
If humans encountered fighting stray dogs and if they had once fed one of the dogs, they would definitely help that stray dog fight the other one.
Especially animals that look cute have an easier time invoking human sympathy.
Chu Ge hesitated, asking, "Wouldn't this put them in danger? After all, they are innocent."
If we die, we still have Survival Points to fall back on.
If these people die, they are truly dead.
Putting oneself in others' shoes, Chu Ge would not want his family to face danger due to being exploited by Survivors on an outing; in such a case, he would tear those Survivors to shreds.
"They have guns; they won't be in danger. If Survivors really threaten their lives, we'll leave. Killing doesn't make sense for Survivors; if we flee, they'll definitely give chase," Gu Tianjiao contemplated.
Nangong laughed, "Boss, you still have a conscience. You're sentimental."
Xiao Poor Thing looked up to Chu Ge admiringly.
Unscrupulous people may live longer, but they also make their teammates feel insecure.
The scariest thing for a person is to have no principles.
"Stop sucking up, I just think that killing the innocent will have its retribution," Chu Ge hummed.
He really thought so.
"Tough mouth," Gu Tianjiao teased.
A few minutes later, the Adventure Team finally caught up.
Four of them were even carrying cameras.
"Tsk tsk, are they filming a documentary?" Nangong asked curiously.
As Survivors, watching nature documentaries was a must.
"Will we become the stars of the documentary?" Xiao Poor Thing got excited.
With the development of the times, the audience for documentaries was growing ever larger – who didn't want to be known by countless people?
Chu Ge curled his lip and chuckled to himself, "I've already been filmed in a documentary, though not in this space-time."
Presumably, in another space-time, the documentary about him and Big Hair was already in the editing phase.
His gaze drifted off.
Suddenly, he really missed that silly kid.
"Wishful thinking, who would come here to film a documentary about animals, looking at our journey thus far, do you think there are many animals around?" Gu Tianjiao said, bursting their bubble.
Unfortunately, they were not proficient in foreign languages and could not understand the goals of the Adventure Team.
They could only understand a few words.
Words like "climbing," "simpleton," and "buddha."
While they were chatting, the Adventure Team was also discussing them.
Seeing four animals of completely different species together, they were greatly surprised.
Chu Ge became their primary focus of attention.
Because he was just too strong.
It was their first time seeing such a strong Male Lion.
Ahead, the world was still a frozen snowy landscape, with biting cold winds, yet the sun still hung high in the sky.
"Roar—"
A roar of a tiger came from ahead, startling the members of the Adventure Team.
"Tigers... why are there tigers here?"
"You don't say, should there be lions and giant pandas instead?"
"Could it be someone was trading wild animals and they accidentally let them escape?"
"Be careful, tigers eat people."
"Could they be in danger? Can that lion win against a tiger?"
While they were anxious and worried, Gu Tianjiao was sniffing the air.
"There are over a dozen different scents ahead, there should be a battle royale, let's go take a look, we might find an opportunity to pick up the scraps," Gu Tianjiao said excitedly, charging ahead.
Chu Ge and the other two closely followed behind.
Seeing them speed up, the Adventure Team also started running.
They charged forward.
Reaching the top of the slope, they looked ahead.
Several hundred meters away on the snowy mountain slope, a group of animals were in a fierce battle. Chu Ge narrowed his eyes, spotting, in addition to the Roaring Tiger Group's nine tigers, Gray Wolves, American Leopards, Crocodiles, Snakes, Tibetan Mastiffs, Leopards, Porcupines, Jackals, and Antelopes.
Both sides were fighting fiercely, and it was hard to tell who was winning.
The one fighting a Siberian Tiger was a Gray Wolf. It was very fast, often making the Siberian Tiger miss its attack, while its claws were exceptionally sharp, leaving many terrible scars on the Siberian Tiger's body.
The trees around them were all leaning and twisted, seemingly broken by some force, making for a shocking scene.
"The Bald Eagle is there too!"
Xiao Poor Thing called out, seeing the Bald Eagle circling in the sky, clearly waiting for an opportunity.
Nangong took a sharp breath and muttered, "They're too strong, the Southern Assassins? Besides the Roaring Tiger Group, now only they can fill a rank of nine."
An antelope sending a fully-grown tiger flying— who would believe it if told?
