Fang Rong was disdainful. “He’s just a mercenary. It’s his first time participating in a variety show. What can he know? The clues were given by the production crew. They wouldn’t lie to us, would they?”

Bai Xi suddenly thought of something, but it was fleeting and she quickly dismissed it to the back of her mind.

She looked at Bai Shao and said gently, “Aunt Fang is right. There’s no food in the snow mountain but it’s much less dangerous than the swamp. You know that the crocodiles in the swamp can swallow a person whole in one bite too.

We can’t handle it.”

Since Bai Xi had said so, Bai Shao could not refute it and nodded gloomily, finishing the last bit of food.

The few of them continued on their way against the cold wind.

They were full but they did not have the strength to speak. Once they opened their mouth, the wind would fill their stomach.

After walking for a few more hours, the weather was so cold that they felt their limbs go numb. They could no longer feel the skin that was exposed.

The road was getting narrower and steeper, and everyone was walking on tenterhooks.

“Xiao Xi, how much longer before we arrive?” Fang Rong spoke with difficulty in the strong wind, “I feel like I can’t walk anymore.”

Bai Xi saw that everyone was dejected, so she encouraged them, “We’re almost there. We just need to hold on for a while longer. We’ve already walked for so long. Look, isn’t there a peak in front? Just after it!”

Li Yan saw that Bai Xi was already so tired that she could not speak but she was still comforting everyone so gently. He liked her even more, so he turned his head and said loudly, “Yeah, let’s listen to Xiao Xi and work hard. Let’s go!”

“It’s getting dark. We’d better find a place to rest as soon as possible. We can go over that peak tomorrow,” Bai Shao said calmly.

Zhao Yuan nodded and conveyed the message to the front.

Everyone agreed.

The few of them continued forward, speeding up because of Bai Xi’s encouragement.

In spite of it, Bai Xi who should have been the most determined felt her heart waver even more as she looked at the white snow ahead of her.

She knew what that flash of thought was now!

If she could fabricate a clue card, why not Bai Lin? There was no guarantee that the clue she got from Bai Lin’s room was real.

She consoled herself silently. The path from the base camp to the foot of the mountain was exactly the same as the clue. Bai Lin probably did not not have the ability to find out such information.

As long as they followed the clue, they would be the first to reach the finishing point.

They continued forward, but the road was getting steeper and steeper. The mountain path could only allow one person to pass and there was no guardrail. It was a tall cliff beside them and the only support they had was the iron chain by the cliff.

Bai Shao suddenly stopped and shouted to the back, “Sis! There’s no way we can go through this path!”

Li Yan said, “We’ve already come this far. If we turn back, we’ll definitely waste more time. Didn’t Xixi just say that it’ll be over soon? Let’s try a little harder.”

Bai Xi needed to show a brave and firm appearance in front of the camera, so she echoed, “Yeah, we’re definitely prepared to face all the difficulties and obstacles when we participate in this show. Xiao Shao, I believe that we can definitely overcome this problem, right?”

Bai Shao was already unhappy. The girls in the team did not carry anything but let the guys carry them instead. Since he was young, he actually carried the most.

He had been carrying such a heavy load for a long time, and the road ahead was so steep that he really did not want to walk anymore. However, he had always listened to Bai Xi, so he could only go on.

The mountain wind grew fiercer, like slaps on their faces. Bai Xi felt that her face was about to be blown off. She wanted to pull her hat down to cover her face, but since her hand was not holding the iron chain, the strong wind blew her off balance.

She slipped and fell to her knees on the stony path.

“Xiao Xi! Are you alright?!” Li Yan’s anxious voice sounded from the front.

Bai Xi’s knees hurt, and she felt that she could no longer feel her calves. Tears gushed out of her eyes. When the wind blew, her skin where the tears streamed felt like it was being cut by knives.

She knew she could not cry anymore, but she could not control it. It was too painful.

When they moved, they held each other’s hands for safety purpose. With Bai Xi’s sudden fall, she almost caused the entire team to fall.

However, no one blamed her. Fang Rong, who was the closest to her, helped her up and said worriedly, “How are your injuries? Can you still walk?” “I don’t know how bad they are but it hurts.” Bai Xi held back her tears. Fang Rong helped her up. “It’s okay, Xiao Xi. I’ll walk with you.”

“Jiejie, I’ll help you too!” Bai Shao said from behind.

“Thank you. I’m sorry, I’ve caused everyone trouble.” Bai Xi pretended to be guilty. She knew that she could get the others’ sympathy and they would not blame her this way..
