When Lin Tian and Shen ngyi returned to the front of the treehouse from the bushes, the flush on Shen ngyi's face hadn't faded.
"What did you two go off to do?"
Shen Yiran blocked Lin Tian and Shen ngyi, looking at them suspiciously as if they were up to sothing.
Lin Tian didn't mind much, but Shen ngyi couldn't hold back her pride and glared at Shen Yiran.
"None of your business, you brat. Go do whatever you need to do."
She dragged Shen Yiran up into the treehouse.
Standing in the sa spot, Lin Tian was still watching Shen ngyi when soone suddenly pinched his waist, a surge of pain snapping Lin Tian back to reality.
"ngting, what are you doing?"
"What am I doing? Own up, did you take down the beautiful president of the Broadcasting Club?"
Bu ngting looked like she was ready to accuse him, but her way of questioning was way too aggressive. Lin Tian didn't know how to respond.
"You, when I'm not around for just a mont, you're already flirting around. Hmph!"
Angry, Bu ngting ignored Lin Tian and tried to climb into the treehouse.
Suddenly, Lin Tian grabbed Bu ngting.
"Let go of !"
"ngting, be careful tonight."
For so reason, Lin Tian felt increasingly restless, his ability to foresee danger allowing him to sense so impending threat.
Bu ngting was taken aback, not understanding why Lin Tian would suddenly say that.
"What's wrong?"
"When I was cutting wood earlier, I encountered two assassins. They should have been after , but I managed to fend them off. I'm worried they might strike tonight. I had tried to convince Shen ngyi to take everyone back tonight, but she didn't agree."
The last ti Lin Tian encountered an assassin, Bu ngting and He Qianqian were in the hotel. Although they didn't see what happened, they understood it must have been extrely dangerous.
"Where did these assassins co from anyway? Wasn't the one from before caught?"
"As long as there's money, there are plenty of assassins. The concern now is that if the assassins can't get to , they'll target ordinary people."
"That shouldn't be the case, I've heard assassins are very professional."
Bu ngting naively said.
"Who told you that, that assassins have professional ethics?"
"The novels, where the assassins are really handso and often save the damsel in distress."
Lin Tian held his forehead, thinking that Bu ngting must have been reading novels on the internet. She actually believed assassins had professional ethics.
Real assassins, they would stop at nothing to complete their mission.
"ngting, sothing's definitely going to happen tonight, you better stick with ."
"Really, sothing will happen?"
Bu ngting noticed that Lin Tian wasn't joking and imdiately tensed up.
"Definitely, maybe it's already happened."
Li Ming and several other students were seen running toward the treehouse, although they should have been sleeping and resting in their self-made shelters tonight.
The students looked anxious, but Li Ming seed quite composed.
"Is the president here?"
"In the treehouse."
Lin Tian, watching the few people approaching, felt his premonition growing stronger. He couldn't help but grab Bu ngting's hand.
"What's wrong?"
Just as Shen ngyi, who had just climbed into the treehouse, poked her head out, she had been eavesdropping on Lin Tian and Bu ngting's conversation. Naturally, she heard the others coming.
A male student standing next to Li Ming imdiately spoke up.
"During dinner, we didn't see Huang Lisheng from our team, and we thought he went to relieve himself, so we didn't bother. But it's been almost an hour since dinner, and everyone's getting ready to sleep, but Huang Lisheng still hasn't returned. We went out for a search but couldn't find him."
The student speaking was a mber of the Mushroom Team from Dog Tail Hill, probably aning Huang Lisheng was too.
"How can you have no sense of organization and discipline? Didn't you tell your mbers the rules? Didn't I say beforehand that everyone should avoid going out alone at night? You must be back at the camp by nine o'clock, did you not tell them that?"
After hearing Lin Tian's words, Shen ngyi worried for him while also feeling like Lin Tian's earlier proposition was right.
She was about to gather everyone to announce an early end to this event when the incident happened.
"We did tell them, that Huang Lisheng is usually very well-behaved and obedient, but we just don't know where he has gone."
"Didn't you call him?"
"That's why we're worried, because we can't get through to his phone."
Knowing that the location was remote, everyone had brought a power bank, so it wasn't an issue of phones running out of charge. If his phone was unreachable, it might truly be a serious matter.
"Let's go, we'll search together."
Shen ngyi imdiately ca down from the treehouse. As the president of the Broadcasting Club and person in charge of this activity, a student had gone missing, and it was her responsibility to find him and bring him back.
Lin Tian felt that sothing was peculiar about the situation and beca even more concerned that Shen ngyi might be putting herself in danger.
"ngyi, the situation is unclear, I suggest you should all evacuate imdiately, leave this place. I'll stay behind to search for Huang Lisheng."
"No, I brought them here, and when we leave, I must take everyone back with ."
At this point, Shen ngyi showed her decisive side. Indeed, she beca the president of the Broadcasting Club due to her stubbornness.

"When searching for people, try not to scatter. There should be at least ten people per group."
Shen ngyi didn't oppose this suggestion, considering what Lin Tian had ntioned, there might be an assassin nearby.
Moreover, there were also ferocious beasts in the forest, so the search party couldn't be too small.
Soon, everyone gathered together, and Shen ngyi stood in the middle to briefly explain the situation.
"Huang Lisheng is missing now, and we have to find him. We have about forty people here, and we will divide into four search and rescue teams, each with ten people. The remaining few can join any team they wish. Each team, choose a leader."
This ti Shen ngyi didn't continue to stay with Lin Tian; she decided to lead a team herself. Li Ming led a team, and Lin Tao volunteered to lead another. Lin Tian also led a team.
All the students got involved, which Lin Tian didn't object to because staying at the camp might be even more dangerous due to the possible attacks from assassins.
"Alright, everyone set out. If you find the person, call and inform each other imdiately. Also, everyone in each team, pay attention to keep up with the group and don't get separated from the team."
Those from the livestreaming platforms also joined the search teams along with the students.
Lin Tian kept holding Bu ngting's hand because he knew that if the assassin was after him, then Bu ngting would likely be the assassin's primary target.
"Huang Lisheng! Huang Lisheng!"
The calls rose and fell across the forest, and soon the four teams branched out.
As ti went on, the likelihood of sothing bad having happened to Huang Lisheng grew.
Although most people didn't want Huang Lisheng to face any harm, almost everyone was convinced that he probably had already encountered trouble.
"What is that over there?"
Just then, a crisp voice with a hint of a tremble pointed to a spot ahead and exclaid.
This person was Liu Fangfang, who had joined Lin Tian's team after witnessing his bravery earlier.
Liu Fangfang was looking pale, biting her lip tightly, as if she had seen sothing.
"Fangfang, what did you see?"
Bai Ruolan had a good relationship with Liu Fangfang and approached her.
"Just ahead, I... I think I saw soone."
Upon hearing Liu Fangfang's words, everyone imdiately ran forward.
Lin Tian suddenly realized sothing was wrong and sped up, rushing forward, worried he was too late.
"Ahh—"
Several girls suddenly scread, their voices especially piercing in the wilderness of the forest.
"Everybody, stay calm. Hold each other's hands. I'll go check it out."
Lin Tian cald everyone down and then went ahead to investigate the situation.
In the grass lay a person, or rather, half a person.
The person's limbs had been violently torn off, and now, in the bushes, there was only the torso.
Not far from the body was a head and one hand; the rest of the legs and the other hand were missing.
"Does anyone recognize Huang Lisheng?"
Although Lin Tian might have encountered Huang Lisheng before, he still didn't have much of an impression of the guy.
A girl weakly raised her hand.
"Co and help see if this is Huang Lisheng."
The girl seed sowhat traumatized, trembling uncontrollably as if she hadn't heard speak.
"Calm down. It's just a dead person. What's there to be afraid of?"
With a sharp shout from Lin Tian, the group was shocked into silence, and the girl regained so composure, walking shakily over to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian used his foot to straighten the head on the ground.
"Look carefully, is this Huang Lisheng?"
"It is, it's him. Wuu, Huang Lisheng is dead!"
The girl took a few glances and confird it was Huang Lisheng. She was already timid, and now, having seen a corpse, especially that of her dismbered classmate, the girls were all frightened.
anwhile, Lin Tian quickly took out his phone to contact Shen ngyi.
But the call didn't go through after several attempts.
Sothing's not right! Lin Tian suddenly had an ominous premonition.
From the beginning, it seed he had been led by the nose.
Shen ngyi was definitely in trouble. He hurriedly contacted the other two team leaders, telling them that Huang Lisheng had been found but was dead and dismbered. He instructed them to imdiately return to camp with their teams. After hanging up, Lin Tian hesitated.
Bu ngting was by his side, but Shen ngyi was clearly in trouble. If he went to save Shen ngyi, he worried that sothing might happen to Bu ngting in his absence.
Damn these beasts.
Lin Tian cursed under his breath and ultimately decided to go rescue Shen ngyi.
"ngting, you guys need to head back to camp right away and find Lin Tao. Stay with Lin Tao and the others. I need to take care of sothing."
Lin Tao had received Lin Tian's Sword Dao inheritance and should be able to handle things for a while.
"Go quickly. I'll be careful on my own."
Bu ngting understood Lin Tian and patted his shoulder comfortingly. She had been by Lin Tian's side and naturally knew that Lin Tian's call to Shen ngyi hadn't gone through.
