Chapter 507: The Scariest Task
Nie Zehai returned to Xia Xibei with an anguished look, “I’m so sorry, I’m down on my luck.”
Xia Xibei took the task card from his hand for a look, raising her brows.
As far as everyone was concerned, this was the scariest task among all of them.
They had to look for the task items in a room with many snakes.
Most importantly, the snakes were freely moving, and not restrained in any way.
Sure enough, the snakes released were either non-venomous or they already had their fangs removed, so there were no safety concerns.
With that being said, how many people could remain calm and undaunted in the face of those long, slippery reptiles?
Nie Zehai considered himself a macho guy, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t afraid of snakes!
It felt spine-chilling just imagining searching for items amidst a sea of snakes… Which would be gliding all around them, and perhaps even writhing across their feet!
His legs were turning into jelly before the game had even started.
“Don’t worry, this is a simple one.”
Unlike his petrified, ashen face, Xia Xibei seemed cool, even a little indifferent.
“They don’t bite anyways.”
Nie Zehai forced a bitter smile, “I know they don’t, but that doesn’t make them any less terrifying!”
He couldn’t help but want to slap himself for having such bad luck!
“It’s okay. If you don’t dare to go inside, I can go on my own.”
Their task was just to find the items, so it didn’t matter who went inside.
Nie Zehai was still smiling miserably as he asked, “How could I let you go alone?”
Girls feared snakes far more than guys did!
Most girls screamed even when they saw insects, so he supposed Xia Xibei was only acting cool.
Xia Xibei did not argue.
“Let’s gather there first.”
As far as she was concerned, the tasks simply couldn’t be challenging if they were taking place in the zoo.
She had no problem searching for items in a snake lair, feeding other animals, or even having a tug-of-war with elephants.
She was more worried about being surrounded by animals rather than failing the tasks.
It would be troublesome if the animals lost control around her.
“Brother Hai, what did you guys get?” Wei Xile called out to Nie Zehai.
He couldn’t help but guess from the hopeless look on his face, “Don’t tell me it’s…”
Nie Zehai nodded in low spirits.
Wei Xile couldn’t help but commiserate with him, “Don’t worry, I believe you can do it!”
Xia Qinghan also flashed them a congenial smile, “All the best! You guys have got this!”
Xia Xibei couldn’t help but wonder upon seeing her bright, genuine smile.
“Alright, let’s… Let’s get going,” Nie Zehai said, then took a few deep breaths, like he was going off to a war with no chance of return.
“Okay,” Xia Xibei nodded and strode off, not bothering with Xia Qinghan’s bizarre att.i.tude anymore.
“We shall go too!” Wei Xile told Xia Qinghan. Their task was to have a tug-of-war with elephants.
“Sure!” Xia Qinghan beamed, feeling on top of the world.
She realized that it was Li Weiyun’s arrangement when she heard that Xia Xibei’s team got the snake task.
She almost couldn’t hold back her laughter as she thought of how it was going to turn out.
Luckily, she managed to control herself at the last minute.
Meanwhile, Xia Xibei and Nie Zehai arrived at the room of snakes.
Nie Zehai’s face turned deathly pale as he saw the snakes in the room from the window gla.s.s, roaming leisurely.
“Do we… Do we just go inside like this?”
The snakes were of different lengths, and some were even nice-looking.
Nevertheless, watching them from a distance and walking among them were two totally different matters!
“Don’t worry, you’ll be fine,” the workers said. “These snakes are safe.”
