Chapter 504: Chapter 230 True•Losing Fans_2

[A madman, a neurotic, and maybe even a touch of perversion?]

[She’s reveling in the thrill of death!]

"Red Medicine, stop worrying about her and watch out for your own safety!"

Lin Baici reminded.

Given the current arrangement of the cubes, it wasn’t difficult at all, as long as one had strong psychological resilience, wasn’t afraid of heights, and had basic athletic and balance abilities, passing was possible.

Gu Qingqiu clearly had a strong heart.

Lin Baici waited for the crazy woman to jump back onto the rooftop, grabbed her hand, and immediately ran back.

Two minutes were up, and the hurricane rushed in furiously.

This time, without Lin Baici’s reminder, everyone immediately lay flat on the ground, gripping the floor with both hands.

The hurricane was strong, and those who were lighter were blown away, sliding and screaming in terror.

"Little Linzi, you’re okay!"

Xia Hongyao was overjoyed; she found that after obtaining two feathers, the hurricane felt like a gentle spring breeze and lacked the violent force that threatened to tear people apart.

"Hurry up and get the feathers, with two you won’t be blown away!"

Xia Hongyao urged.

A good number of people moved.

"Qin Qin, don’t be afraid, I’ll get them for you!"

Zeng Guoxue was still following Little Fairy.

"Yue Yu! Quickly!"

Lin Baici helped arrange the route: "Grab that one!"

Although there were quite a few feathers, the difficulty levels were different; some were closer to the rooftop and on the same horizontal plane, which eliminated the need for jumping up and down.

After all, the more one moved, the greater the danger.

Hua Yue Yu was a bit afraid of heights, her heart pounding violently.

"Don’t look down!"

Xia Hongyao advised, stuffing the Giant Locust Leg into her hand: "Try to jump to one platform at a time and don’t rush for quick success!"

"You can do it!"

Lin Baici instructed: "You must come back within a minute and a half!"

Gu Qingqiu had already started.

"Gorgeous, if she’s too scared to jump, can I borrow your weapon first?"

Li Junsheng edged over, eyeing the Giant Locust Leg, hoping to borrow it.

He felt it could increase his chances of success.

"Sorry, my friend needs it!"

Xia Hongyao apologized.

"No problem, I can wait!"

Li Junsheng smiled accommodatingly.

Seeing this, more than a dozen clever people hurried over as well, wanting to borrow the Taboo Thing.

"You’d better not wait; these cubes will drop. After each hurricane, some of them fall!"

Lin Baici reminded.

"Drop?"

The crowd tensed up at this revelation, quickly glancing at the cubes—had some disappeared?

Nevertheless, getting the feathers was essentially risking life, so, everyone was cautious and did not jump rashly.

"I theorize that after each hurricane, there will be more cubes falling than the last time, so your time is running out," Gu Qingqiu returned, let out a breath and looked back at the cubes.

"You’re not thinking of trying again, are you?"

Xia Hongyao, observing Gu Qingqiu’s somewhat unfinished expression, suddenly realized she might be crazier than initially thought?

Lin Baici glanced at his watch: "No time left, run back now! Those on the cubes, quickly, if you can’t get it, just come back!"

When Hua Yue Yu jumped onto the rooftop, Lin Baici immediately grabbed her arm and, with a smooth motion, pulled her into his arms and rushed toward the center of the rooftop.

It was good to save the Little Merperson some energy.

Everyone was smart and began running; those on the cubes panicked, and those who hadn’t jumped far immediately gave up and jumped back. However, those who had jumped several platforms thought it too much of a loss to return and decided to hold out a little longer, but they couldn’t move quickly.

The hurricane arrived like the blade of an executioner at precisely the appointed moment, with no delay.

Whoosh!

The seven people still standing on the cubes were inevitably blown down.

Once the hurricane stopped, Lin Baici immediately stood up.

"Quick! Fast!"

Lin Baici hurried them while looking up, worried about being hit by falling bodies.

Having learned from the previous experience, many looked up to see a black dot suddenly appear high in the sky, swiftly growing larger, and then with a thud, it crashed to the ground.

Because the bodies fell from such a great height, there was no deformation upon impact; they simply burst apart on contact.

"More dust has fallen!"

Gu Qingqiu checked her phone and camera and, finding them unusable, shook her head in disappointment.

Ah!

I really want to capture that!

"Hurry up, everyone, the cube is falling, and you don’t have many chances left!"

Xia Hongyao shouted.

"You are a God Hunter, so you should have a role similar to a soldier, right? Doesn’t that mean you have a duty to ensure our personal safety?"

The fatty who had questioned them before demanded Xia Hongyao sternly, "Shouldn’t you and he help me to get the feather? Everyone, don’t you agree with what I’m saying?"

In the crowd, some people chimed in, while others kept silent.

Zeng Guoxue successfully retrieved a feather and hastily stuffed it into Little Fairy’s hands, "Here, take it, quick!"

Little Fairy didn’t want to owe her ex-boyfriend and didn’t dare to risk her life; she was agonizing over it, but the next second, as soon as Zeng Guoxue’s fingertips left the feather after stuffing it into Little Fairy’s hands, the feather immediately caught fire.

Boom!

The flames rose, licking at Little Fairy’s hair.

"Ah!"

Scared, Little Fairy screamed and hurried backward, frantically slapping at the flames on her head and hands. Her sleeves also caught fire.

"Qin Qin!"

Zeng Guoxue panicked.

Lin Baici pulled out a fire extinguisher from the Black Tripod Bowl, rushed over quickly, and sprayed at Little Fairy.

Hiss!

The foam spouted out, extinguishing the flames on Little Fairy’s body.

"Wuu wuu wuu, it hurts so much!"

Little Fairy cried out in pain and panic, "Am I disfigured now?"

"It’s alright, just a minor burn!"

Lin Baici consoled.

"Little Fatty, did you see? We help you get it, but do you dare to take it?"

Gu Qingqiu retorted.

The fatty’s face turned frantic, now what?

"Even if you are disfigured, it doesn’t matter, there are Taboo things that can heal it!"

Xia Hongyao reassured, "What you should be more worried about is getting the feather as fast as possible, otherwise you’re definitely dead!"

"But... but isn’t this just sending us people who are afraid of heights to our death?"

The fatty cried.

If I had known, wouldn’t I be better off staying at home watching movies? Why did I have to come and take live photos of Little Fairy? Now I’m the fool!

"Everyone, attention, it’s time to run, the hurricane is coming again!"

Lin Baici shouted loudly.

Hua Yue Yu successfully retrieved a feather.

The four of them were safe for the moment, but out of the nearly four hundred spectators, only about a dozen had succeeded.

The hurricane came and stopped again. This time no one died, but the situation was very bad; a significant portion of the cubes had fallen.

The situation was clear now, to survive, you had to fight for it.

A young man wearing a denim jacket was gearing up emotionally, but then a kid wearing Nike shoes jumped up first.

"What are you doing? I chose this route first!"

The young man in the denim jacket panicked because he had seen this route before, and he only needed to jump over thirteen cubes to get the feather, which posed a very small risk.

"Is your name written on this platform?"

The Nike kid mocked.

This round, many started to retrieve the feathers. After all, there were quite a few people with the courage and initiative, it was just a matter of speed.

Of course, some overestimated themselves.

It’s like some tourists playing on glass walkways at scenic spots. They think they can handle it when they go up, but after walking a bit, their whole body goes numb.

And then there’s acrophobia. Unless you experience it yourself at a high altitude, you’ll never know if you have it because looking down from a twenty-meter-high roof is absolutely not the same as looking down from a hundred-meter-high roof.

A youngster who had jumped five cubes started shaking, with an accelerated heartbeat. He squatted down, his hands clinging desperately to the cube below him.

Not only he, but three others did the same.

"Jump quickly, time’s running out!"

Xia Hongyao shouted, "Or else, consider coming back first!"

But those few didn’t move.

The youngster thought about giving up, to go back to the roof and rest. He took a few deep breaths, half stood up, his legs not yet straightened, before starting to get dizzy and quickly squatting down again.

Seeing that everyone else began running towards the middle of the roof, another young man panicked. He had to speed up, risking it by jumping three cubes at once.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

He made it!

Elated, the young man was about to sprint when the hurricane struck.

Whoosh!

The young man was blown off, and so were the few on the cubes. None were spared.
