Chapter 942: Chapter 942

Lan Xingyue deeply regretted it; she never dreamed that Lin Chen would open the ancient Mayan box, which was why she dared to bet with him.

Originally, she had one hundred percent confidence that Lin Chen would lose.

But with the box opened, now she was completely defeated.

Seeing Lin Chen's sly gaze, Lan Xingyue knew this guy definitely didn't have good intentions. If she let him have his way, he would surely take advantage of her.

Lan Xingyue pondered for a moment; no matter what, she couldn't give this pervert a chance, so she simply refused to acknowledge it, "We'll talk about the bet later, getting out of here is the most important thing now."

Saying that, Lan Xingyue, without further ado, picked up her gear and headed into the jungle.

"Oh no, she's clearly planning to welch on her bet completely!"

But how could Lin Chen let her go so easily, especially with six other beauties watching? He definitely couldn't set a precedent, or he'd have no way to mix in the future.

Lin Chen's lips curled with a mischievous smile, "Captain, our bet was that you would let me handle you however I want if you lose. You can't back out on that."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chen flashed by Lan Xingyue's side, and before she could react, he had already scooped her by the waist.

"What, what do you want to do?" Lan Xingyue's expression changed immediately.

She never in her wildest dreams thought Lin Chen would dare to so boldly ambush her.

No one had ever dared to take such blatant liberties with her growing up; Lin Chen was definitely the first.

Lan Xingyue's face flushed crimson with both embarrassment and anger, and she backhanded a slap toward Lin Chen's cheek.

"Captain, haven't you heard you shouldn't hit someone's face?" Lin Chen chuckled as he gently caught her wrist and pulled her closer.

Lan Xingyue lost her balance, falling entirely into Lin Chen's embrace, their position as ambiguous as it could be, causing the other girls' faces to redden as well.

"You bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"

Lan Xingyue's face blushed furiously as she desperately tried to wriggle free from Lin Chen's hold.

But Lin Chen didn't let it end there; he puckered his lips and planted a kiss on each side of her pretty face.

Originally, Lin Chen wanted to take it a step further, but seeing Lan Xingyue's gaze that almost wanted to tear him apart, he reluctantly let go.

Then, like a startled rabbit spotting a tiger, he quickly retreated over a dozen meters.

"Ah, the feeling of a beautiful woman's fragrant lips, simply superb. Alright, now we're even," Lin Chen said cheekily, smelling the lingering scent on his hand.

"You bastard, I'm going to kill you!" From childhood to adulthood, Lan Xingyue had never suffered such humiliation; her face flushed with anger, seemingly wanting to kill Lin Chen on the spot.

Lan Xingyue took a swift step forward, then raised her long leg high and aimed a kick between Lin Chen's legs.

"Damn it, a crippling kick, Captain, do you have to be so harsh?"

Just as Lan Xingyue's foot was about to land between Lin Chen's legs, a mischievous smile flashed across his lips, and he reached out to grab Lan Xingyue's ankle.

Lan Xingyue lost her balance again, tumbling into Lin Chen's arms.

"Captain, I said we were even. Why are you still throwing yourself into my arms?" Lin Chen said in disbelief.

"You narcissist, who wants to throw themselves into your arms, get away from me."

Seeing herself fall into Lin Chen's clutches again, Lan Xingyue was both embarrassed and furious, wishing she could chop Lin Chen into pieces.

Seeing Lan Xingyue on the verge of an outburst, Lin Chen quickly let her go.

Originally, Lin Chen thought Lan Xingyue would still charge at him desperately, but unexpectedly, her eyes reddened, and she turned and dove into the jungle.

Seeing Lan Xingyue's resentful gaze moments ago, Lin Chen knew he was in trouble; he wanted to apologize to her, but she walked away faster and faster.

Suddenly, Lin Chen looked at an area ahead covered in leaves, his expression changed dramatically.

Like lightning, he dashed over and grabbed Lan Xingyue's wrist.

"What do you want now? Let go of me." Lan Xingyue struggled forcefully to pull away from Lin Chen's hand.

"There's danger ahead; if you take another step, you'll lose your life," Lin Chen said seriously.

At this time, the others caught up, looking at the ground with puzzled expressions.

Lan Xingyue snorted coldly, "Lin Chen, I admitted defeat just now, so there's no need for you to play tricks. The ground ahead looks normal; what's the problem?"

Lin Chen shook his head, waved his hand, and a ball of flame fell among the leaves.

The leaves immediately caught fire, and to everyone's surprise, as the leaves on the surface burned away, piles of white bones appeared in their view.

Looking at the clusters of struggling black ants among the fire, Yue'er screamed, "They're killer ants!"

The ground was covered in a sea of ants, causing Lan Xingyue to shudder with fear.

If Lin Chen hadn't intervened, if she had taken another step, her foot would have been devoured by ants, leaving only bare bones.

The white bones here surely belonged to those who stumbled into this place and perished in the ant nests.

"Now do you believe me?" Lin Chen asked.

"How did you know there were killer ants underneath?" Yue'er asked curiously.

Because this ground was covered with thick leaves, it looked no different from ordinary ground, and it was hard to see any abnormalities below with the naked eye.

Actually, Lin Chen discerned the ground's abnormality beneath the leaves with his x-ray vision, but he naturally wouldn't admit he had such an ability.

"Instinct, my instinct told me there was danger ahead," Lin Chen said, feigning an inscrutable tone.

"Alright, let's bypass this area. Lin Chen, you and Yue'er take the lead," Lan Xingyue said.

After the unexpected situation earlier, Lan Xingyue realized she had somewhat lost her composure. If it hadn't been for Lin Chen, she might already have ended up in the ant nest by now.

The group cautiously advanced through the jungle, having now ventured into the heart of the primeval forest, where conditions were becoming increasingly complex and dangerous.

Venomous snakes and insects were everywhere, and at times, the howls of wild wolves echoed through the jungle.

At last, as dusk approached, they found a campsite and prepared to rest.

"I'll take the watch tonight," Lan Xingyue said lightly and left the camp with her gun.

Lin Chen watched Lan Xingyue's figure, pondered for a moment, and then followed.

On a tree branch, Lan Xingyue sat at the treetop, holding a gun, her gaze fixed on the depths of the forest. Her hair fluttered in the breeze, making her look especially beautiful.

"Who goes there?" As Lin Chen approached, Lan Xingyue tensed and pointed the muzzle at him.
