Chapter 1076: Chapter 510: Lin Baici’s Little Cupcake!

"What did you find?"

Xie Yangchun eyed the stone statue head suspiciously.

Under the vines covered, there were traces of wind and sun exposure, showing no anomalies whatsoever.

"The eyes of this head have been scratched off, unlike the others."

Xia Hongyao explained looking towards Gu Qingqiu, not understanding the specifics herself.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yangchun and Zhang Hao immediately jumped onto the statue head to inspect it, and soon they too were excited.

At last, there was a clue.

"What do we do next?"

Zhang Hao humbly inquired, "Should we try to make it talk?"

"Capture some live animals and bring them here!"

Gu Qingqiu arranged.

Despite the statue head being relatively large, only a few people could stand beside its mouth—only elites like Lin Baici and Xie Yangchun, other examiners weren’t qualified to be there.

Of course, Gu Qingqiu was an exception.

"I’ll go!"

Before Xia Hongyao could leave, she was stopped by Zhang Hao.

"You stay!"

Zhang Hao turned his head and instructed those below, "The rest of you go!"

Xia Hongyao, being highly capable in combat, should not waste her skills on capturing animals.

The examiners immediately obeyed, for hunting with their skills was far too easy.

In just over ten minutes, they returned with pheasants, squirrels, and even a wild boar.

"Everyone be careful!"

Gu Qingqiu warned and then motioned to Xia Hongyao, "Throw down a pheasant!"

"Right!"

High Ponytail took the pheasant from a colleague’s hand and threw it into the mouth of the stone statue.

The pheasant screamed as it fell, sensing the danger too late as it tried to fly away.

The stone statue’s teeth clenched.

There was a crack!

Its teeth were too large; unlike Yang Zhi, which had been bitten in half, the pheasant was directly crushed into a mass of flesh.

Feathers flew everywhere.

Whoosh!

The big tongue of the stone statue head stretched out, sweeping across faces.

"Be careful!"

Lin Baici, standing next to Gu Qingqiu, grabbed her and jumped to the ground.

Thud, thud, thud!

Everyone was jumping.

After everyone had moved away, the big tongue retracted.

The crowd was silent, watching Gu Qingqiu.

"Throw in a pig next!"

Gu Qingqiu patted Lin Baici, "Let’s go up!"

Xia Hongyao moved to lift the wild boar, but Xie Yangchun stopped her.

"I’ll do it!"

Xie Yangchun volunteered, and after positioning himself beside the stone statue’s mouth, he asked, "How should I put it?"

"Just throw it normally!"

Gu Qingqiu’s face remained calm, showing no signs of discouragement.

Xie Yangchun threw the wild boar.

The wild boar grunted as it fell, and before it even reached deep into the stone statue’s mouth, the eerie beast clenched its teeth again.

There was a crack!

The lower half of the wild boar was bitten off, then that big tongue again swept across faces.

Several people jumped down again.

"Is that it?"

Xie Yangchun looked at Gu Qingqiu, his tone carrying a hint of complaint.

If it weren’t for Lin Baici’s friendship, he would have already lashed out.

It was getting dark, and if they didn’t understand by then and still set off the signal fireworks, it would be a waste of precious time.

"You shouldn’t worry."

Xia Hongyao advised.

"It’s okay, don’t take it to heart, Brother Xie is just impatient."

Zhang Hao glared at Xie Yangchun and then smiled comforting Gu Qingqiu, "What do you plan to do? Speak up, don’t be afraid!"

"Give me the squirrel!"

Gu Qingqiu knew that Zhang Hao was only being nice to her because he valued Lin Baici’s face.

"Your body is not well, your actions slow, what do you want to do? I’ll do it!"

Xia Hongyao didn’t mind playing the role of the muscle for the team.

"Find a rope and tie it around that squirrel!"

Gu Qingqiu waited until High Ponytail was ready, holding the squirrel beside the stone statue’s mouth, then she let go.

The squirrel fell.

It squeaked!

The little creature struggled, but lacking wings, it could only fall down, yet just after it fell into the mouth, Gu Qingqiu suddenly yanked it back out.

There was a crack!

The stone statue’s teeth closed, but it missed the squirrel, and the big tongue immediately extended out again, like an anteater ravaging an ant nest, wildly licking its face, trying to sweep Lin Baici and the others into its mouth.

Everyone jumped down again.

After waiting a few minutes, when everyone had cleared, Gu Qingqiu climbed onto the stone statue again and once more lifted the squirrel above its mouth.

It squeaked!

The squirrel screamed.

"Go, catch more squirrels, preferably those near this stone statue!"

Gu Qingqiu instructed.

"What are you actually trying to do?"

Xie Yangchun crossed his arms, eyebrows deeply furrowed.

"Why don’t you keep quiet for a bit?"

Zhang Hao pushed Xie Yangchun and called everyone to catch squirrels.

Although Lin Baici had a high profile and great achievements, since he had just joined the safety agency, he held no real position, so when it came to getting things done, Zhang Hao’s and Xie Yangchun’s words carried more weight.

Of course, Xia Hongyao was effective too, except for those who liked her because of her devotion to Big Bear, people respected her because of Xia Hongmian’s face.

Using a God Hunter to catch squirrels was really an underuse of talent.

In a quarter of an hour, the examiners brought back over twenty squirrels, and at Gu Qingqiu’s instruction, they tied them all with ropes.

Gu Qingqiu, holding them one by one, slowly lowered them into the gaping mouth of the stone statue.

She had thought it would take many attempts, but unexpectedly one particularly fluffy squirrel, as soon as Gu Qingqiu lifted it onto the stone statue, began to struggle furiously. As Gu Qingqiu pulled on the rope, lifting the squirrel just above the stone statue’s mouth, it began squealing violently.

Its cries were piercing and desperate, as if being torn apart by five horses; holding onto the rope that bound it like a lifeline, it frantically climbed upwards.

Gu Qingqiu came down, holding the squirrel in her arms and stroked its fur.

"You’re reacting so strongly, you must know that this stone statue’s mouth is dangerous, don’t you?"
