Chapter 1050: Oh wow, survival variety show meets ex! 20

During the landslide, Lin Gui, who was at the very front, suffered first, and then everyone began to flee in disarray.

Jin Chen stood high on the safe zone on the other side, waving at them, "This place is very safe~"

"Damn! You actually didn't come over!"

Shen Yi shouted, already covered in mud.

From where Jin Chen stood, one could see the guests' escape movements in full view.

Even if one usually disguises well, at the most dangerous moment, ability will still unconsciously reveal itself through survival instinct.

Jin Chen observed for a while, and when the guests had all reached the safe zone in disarray, he turned and pressed down Yu Sui's raised hair.

"Let's take another road."

【0731, exchange descent gear.】

【Exchange successful, 20 points deducted.】

The guests followed Jin Chen without knowing why for ten-odd minutes, having completely deviated from the map route.

Walking and walking…… they arrived at a cliff.

The other six people were in disarray in the strong wind.

Even He Chao, who was always calm, choked.

"You... mean that jumping down from here will get us to the fifth stage?"

Jin Chen clapped, "Really smart."

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, he added, "Don't worry, it's very safe."

〖Is Jin Chen not awake today? 〗

〖What does this safety standard refer to? 〗

〖Underworld Longevity Insurance sponsorship, absolutely safe. 〗

Jin Chen took out a complete set of eight-character ring descent rope from his empty backpack.

"Fifty thousand usage fee, honest to young and old."

Everyone: "……"

Shen Yi remarked, "Sure enough, shameless people make the most money."

But even with the descent gear, the cliff estimated at least fifty to sixty meters remained a considerable challenge for them.

Especially the overly frightened Jiang Ting and Xie Shao.

Jin Chen wouldn't give them much time to hesitate; he crouched by the cliff's edge, playing with a dagger, his gaze threatening.

"If you don't go down now, I'll poke your buttocks."

Terrified, Jiang Ting, whose legs were still weak from hesitation, leapt down, his shoulder slamming hard into the cliffside rock, but he was unharmed aside from the fright.

He Chao had something he wanted to say to him, so he deliberately stayed behind.

"Tonight, I have something to tell you about the show's setup and the people behind the scenes."

Jin Chen slowly looked up at the aerial camera, speechless, pursed his lips, and kicked him, "Hurry up!"

Nervous.

Why not just say it directly to the camera?

Jin Chen descended, hesitating for half a second between using Spiritual Power and relying solely on strength, but still did not use Spiritual Power.

His injured limbs could not support his whole body's strength; at half-speed descent, Jin Chen clearly felt pain, unable to hide it even on camera.

Thus, observant people all saw it.

Yu Sui stared at Jin Chen's arm trembling involuntarily, his eyes suddenly reddening, and in his mind flashed the scene from a few days ago when he threw the map fragments from a tree to Jin Chen.

No wonder he needed to step back to catch it; he must have suffered a serious injury.

Without hesitation, he ran over to steady him, not letting anyone near, but also not allowing Jin Chen to evade.

"You're injured, seriously." Yu Sui's voice trembled.

Jin Chen undid the rope around his waist, glanced furtively at the camera circling directly overhead; cold sweat dripped one after another, and even Lin Gui and the others noticed something was off with Jin Chen.

In his pained expression, Jin Chen pulled him into his embrace, leaned close to his ear, and whispered softly, "It's an act, it doesn't hurt, don't give it away."

Yu Sui, on the verge of crying: "……"

"You're so annoying." Yu Sui complained softly, pushing him away, then helped him over with red-rimmed eyes.

"Damn, you're injured."

Shen Yi hurriedly asked, patting his chest in fear, "Then wouldn't I be unable to cling to your thigh later?"

Zhong He took out a uniformly black ointment from his backpack and handed it to Jin Chen.

"It works well."

Yu Sui quickly pushed his wrist away, "I have one."

Zhong He's eyes darkened slightly, and he took the ointment back.

Lin Gui gave half-hearted comfort for a few sentences, but precisely because of that, his restless thoughts began to stir again.

"The old injury has flared up, but it's fine," Jin Chen explained specially, but his pallid face and cold sweat really made it look like it wasn't fine at all.

Yu Sui, in perfect sync, emphasized, "He's injured, I'm not."

His icy gaze swept over the other seven people, "Don't harbor other thoughts."

Thus, in the subsequent journey, Jin Chen openly walked at the rear, moving his hands and feet along the way.

From the eastern cliff to the cavern beneath the water prison, the whole terrain resembled an upturned bowl.

And the cliff is the bowl's gap; now we plug this gap.

Jin Chen looked at the group of turtles before him, raised his brow in thought, his aura commanding.

Now it was his turn to grasp the game rules.

Host, the seventh prophecy pattern decoded: a constantly changing door, and…… ten people trapped inside the door unable to escape.

Jin Chen's steps paused slightly.

Where did these ten people come from?

Unless…… there are other people inside the cave.

Not long after, nine guests walked out of the cave.

As usual, Lin Gui received the mission card.

"Fifth level: traverse the cave, reach the water prison."

"The first person to reach it automatically obtains all supplies, gains the first-stage Survival King title, and…… precious clues about this island."

For the guests who are now exhausted and whose supplies are about to run out, this is undoubtedly very attractive.

Everyone's gaze changed, they quietly gathered strength, as if the friendship built over these days no longer existed.

〖Give the camera some power! Even if I go down, I still want to watch! 〗

〖Surely it's not night mode, right? I want to watch in high definition! 〗

Jin Chen showed them the map, saying, "There's no detailed map inside the cave, but it differs from this one."

"It will be very strange inside."

He said this for everyone to hear; seeing everyone's expressions change, Jin Chen lowered his tone, leaving no room for doubt.

"Try not to look behind, go in pairs."

Seeing Lin Gui seem to have something to say, Jin Chen spoke first: "I'm just talking nonsense; of course you can choose not to listen, unless you want to die in there."

Lin Gui again fell silent, pressed the jade pendant at his neck, and comforted himself inwardly.

As they went down, the passable path was narrow; even walking alone required turning sideways, with one side the cave wall and the other side an unfathomable dark cave bottom.

Besides the growing mental pressure, the cave had no heat source, blocked light, visibility lower than at night, even more terrifying than the forest.

Walking slowly down, one could still hear the echoing water flow, now far, now near, drop by drop, as if it were breaking through the psychological defense line.

The collapse brought by darkness is often the most terrifying.

Jin Chen strolled leisurely at the rear, playing with the dagger's blade, his smile enigmatic.

Looking from behind, it was like a hunter driving a flock of sheep.
