Chapter 298: Chapter 297: Eating Coworkers at Work

The floating bridge was still swaying, yet Xu Ying’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

She held onto the rope, seeing Qi Xiao really stopping the chase just as he said, with his long, distinct fingers still suspended in mid-air, as if ready at any moment to pull her back if she fell.

Xu Ying slowed her pace, carefully walking across the floating bridge over water, and glanced back.

Perhaps to leave her some sense of safety, Qi Xiao’s figure was already gone, and Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned her head to look at the ice wall in front of her, where the maze presented two more branching paths.

While Xu Ying was in a dilemma, a plump high-altitude pika sneakily poked its head out from behind the ice wall of the right passage, waving its little paw at Xu Ying.

[Little Xu Station Chief, there’s something hidden here~]

[Follow me quickly!]

The high-altitude pika said and then walked into the right passage, and Xu Ying hurried to catch up.

However, after walking in the right passage for a minute, she still couldn’t see the high-altitude pika’s silhouette.

“Little bunny, where are you?”

As Xu Ying was searching for the high-altitude pika’s figure, a white shadow suddenly swept over her head.

She looked carefully and saw it was a White Pelican!

The White Pelican is a large water bird, and their body length can reach up to 175 centimeters, with their most distinctive feature being their large beak, which resembles an orange-red long-handled spoon, about forty centimeters long.

The White Pelican’s big beak is attached to a throat sac, which can inflate like a balloon, and when expanded, it could hold over a dozen fish or water. It’s practically a retractable fishing cage.

At this moment, the throat sac of the White Pelican flying overhead was already expanded, round and bulging, and still moving.

Xu Ying suddenly had a foreboding feeling and quickly chased in the direction the White Pelican was flying.

The White Pelican fluttered its wings and landed by the floating bridge like a white bomber making a forced landing, its two big feet “pad-a-pad” stepping in little steps, like wearing ill-fitting slippers.

It tilted its head, staring at its throat sac with beady eyes, seemingly contemplating: “Where’s that ball of fluff I just swallowed? Why hasn’t it turned into a tummy-filling meal?”

Xu Ying dashed forward and, without hesitation, pried open the White Pelican’s large beak, her whole arm almost reaching into its bottomless “snack bag,” searching and searching—

“Splash!” A wet high-altitude pika was pulled out by Xu Ying from the White Pelican’s throat sac.

The high-altitude pika frantically shook off its fur, like it had just been spun dry in a washing machine, panting and cursing: [Help! Almost became a buffet!]

The pika’s short little legs kicked madly in the air, its anger level skyrocketing: [Hate colleagues with no boundaries!!]

Xu Ying knocked on the White Pelican’s head in exasperation: “How many times must I tell you! No eating colleagues during work hours!”

The White Pelican blinked dully and suddenly “snap” bit Xu Ying’s finger—

Xu Ying: “…?”

Xu Ying was momentarily speechless.

Pika: …6.

Pika: Today is another day I want to quit!

The internet users burst into laughter!

[Eating colleagues at work, makes me laugh like crazy, workplace bullying!]

[Is this the glutton of the water bird world! This one probably tastes everything even from a passing garbage truck.]

[This big bird looks so comical, its mouth like a giant clamp.]

[Saw a video online, it really likes clamping things with its big mouth, even clamped a child’s head once!]

The great literary minds in the barrage had already started joking about the White Pelican eating colleagues at work.

[White Pelican: Work is tasteless, colleagues are exceptionally delicious.]

[Even a tiger doesn’t eat its kind, colleagues are delicious]

[Farewell under the colorful clouds of Baidi, there’s no colleague as fresh as this. ]

[Bashan and the water of Chu places forlorn, colleagues relieve cravings and boredom]

[Aren’t you guys studying for exams? You’re all great literary minds!]

Just as Xu Ying was reprimanding the gluttonous White Pelican, a black shadow suddenly shot out from the left ice wall passage of the floating bridge water area.

It’s Su Zhining from the Hunter Team!

Xu Ying’s heart skipped a beat.

Holding a grudge from the previous segment of the show, Su Zhining seemed as if she couldn’t wait to gobble her up now!

Seeing Xu Ying, Su Zhining did indeed show an expression of excitement, pouncing towards Xu Ying like a hungry tiger!

Xu Ying hurriedly put down the high-altitude pika in her hand: “Little bunny, hurry and notify my other teammates, tell them to run quickly!”

The high-altitude pika quickly vanished without a trace.

Xu Ying sidestepped to avoid Su Zhining and was about to run to the right passage when another black figure sprang from the right passage—it was Lu Jinyu!

The two of them directly blocked her escape route, and Xu Ying could only maneuver on the lakeshore.

She was truly too unlucky to run into three hunters so soon after the game had begun!

Lu Jinyu regretfully shook his head, his eyes looking towards the storage bag on Xu Ying’s waist: “Little Xu Station Chief, I’m sorry.”

At this moment, he said with considerable gentlemanly demeanor to Su Zhining: “Ladies against ladies, I’ll be on the side preparing to snatch the Heart of Snowfield crystal ball later.”

Su Zhining was already rolling up her sleeves, eager to try: “Okay!”

Xu Ying wanted to dodge, but behind her stood Lu Jinyu serving as a human wall.

Su Zhining grabbed Xu Ying’s sleeve with one hand, the other hand reaching directly for Xu Ying’s name tag behind her.

Xu Ying used one hand to block Su Zhining’s actions, while her other hand tightly protected her own name tag.

Xu Ying blocked with frantic movements, like a cat with its fur standing on end, looking up at the sky and lamenting bitterly, “Is the program targeting me!!”

Just as Su Zhining’s fingertips were about to touch the name tag—

“Ow!!!”

The White Pelican suddenly sprang out of nowhere, precisely clamping onto Su Zhining’s butt with its beak!

Su Zhining screamed in shock, jumping three meters high: “Pervert!!!”

Lu Jinyu: “…?”

Xu Ying: “…Pfft.”

Before they could react, the White Pelican had already turned, fluttering its wings, and charged straight towards Lu Jinyu!

Its big mouth “clack-clack” opening and closing, like an unstoppable clamp machine, heading straight for Lu Jinyu’s behind—

“Ahhhhh perverted bird, get away!”

Lu Jinyu instantly lost his composure, his noble and cool image collapsing, stumbling backwards, looking like a decent man being chased by a hooligan.

The barrage was about to laugh until they got sick:

[White Pelican: Today’s goal is to cause all hunters social death]

[This round’s name tag tearing MVP has to be this rogue bird!]

Xu Ying held back her laughter to the point of internal injury and took the chance to sneak away—a cat-like crouch—

“Stop!” Su Zhining and Lu Jinyu simultaneously reacted, ignoring the pelican’s chase to stop her.

Yet at that instant—

A slender white figure swiftly swept past like a whirlwind!

Chen Su somehow appeared behind Lu Jinyu, skillfully pinching with fingers, “rip,” the name tag fell off!

“Lu Jinyu, eliminated!” The broadcast from the director’s team echoed through the whole scene.

Lu Jinyu froze on the spot, turning his head slowly: “…What? How am I eliminated?!”

Director’s team: “Chen Su obtained the mystery item and unlocked your name tag.”

At this moment, Chen Su had already spun around to shield Xu Ying.
