508: Blood-chilling

Blood-chilling

The participants were all famous celebrities, after all. Even some of the so-called folks were in fact trainees from various big companies who were going to join the industry sooner or later, so the show crew would take them seriously without a doubt.1

This mission had to seem adventurous and thrilling, and protective gears were not provided. Therefore, the snakes placed in the room were all non-venomous, so safety wasn't a concern. 

Hearing the staff emphasizing it time and time again, Nie Zehai took a few deep breaths in a bid to calm his nerves.

Was copping out even a choice at this point of time? It would be extremely disgraceful!

He couldn't have cold feet anymore, now that they had repeatedly stressed that it was completely safe.

"I'll take the lead!"

As a guy, he felt responsible to go in first and get a grasp of the environment.

"Sure."

Before they went in, the staff members came forth to help them put on the mini cameras.

The room was also equipped with cameras, but these mini cameras could capture more details.

The cameras were pinned to their foreheads, almost at eye level. The scenes captured from this angle would surely be more exciting than the others.

While a staff member was helping Xia Xibei with the camera, she sniffled all of a sudden, and her brows furrowed.

"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

The worker helping her was a young lady in her twenties, who was staring at her with concern.

"No, I'm fine," Xia Xibei smiled and shook her head.

The girl did not think much of it and carried on fiddling with the camera.

"I'm going in first."

When he was done putting on the equipment, Nie Zehai volunteered to go in first, despite his wobbly legs.

He picked up on a scent that was unique to snakes right upon stepping into the room.

Then he took a look at the countless snakes gliding all around him. Anyone who was timider than him would have already been screaming on the top of their lungs.

Nie Zehai fought the urge to cry out, his hairs standing on edge.

He kept a straight face and avoided looking at them, then started searching for the items placed in the room by the show crew.

His heart almost stopped beating when he saw the snakes slithering all around him.

The show crew was very cruel. They kept the items well-hidden, meaning it took him quite a while before finding a few marbles underneath a tree.

His face fell upon seeing those marbles.

How savage of them! The marbles were so small, weren't they worried that the snakes might swallow them?

Still, he was glad to have found one of the items.

Before he could heave a sigh of relief, however, he gasped, locking eyes with a snake that was gliding down the tree right as he stood up.

Horror-stricken, he couldn't help screaming his heart out upon meeting the icy gaze of the snake.

"Ahhh!" he cried out in terror, quickly dashing out of the room.

Once he was out, he panted heavily, like he had just survived a catastrophe.

The show crew was definitely wicked!

His legs had turned to jelly, and he had to support himself by putting a palm against the wall.

"Are you alright?" Xia Xibei patted him on the back. "Get some rest here, it's my turn to go inside."

With a pallid face, Nie Zehai asked, "Are you fine by yourself? How about giving me a second. We'll go together."

"It's fine, I've got it," Xia Xibei smiled, striding in with confidence.

Nie Zehai didn't know what to feel as he watched her confidently march into the room.

How could a big guy like him be such a scaredy-cat when the young lady was so bold?

But Xia Xibei's courage was unrivaled.

With all eyes pinned on her, Xia Xibei strode into the room without showing the slightest sign of dread.

Everyone was astonished by the way she casually strolled around the room, as though she was on a field trip.

She was spectacular!

With firm strides, everyone watched her making her way to a spot, squatting down.

Did she find something?

The next second, however, the spectators couldn't help but cry out in alarm, drawing in a sharp breath!

"Hell no!"
