This was what Yin Ruoyi thought.
But he wasn’t going to just hide.
Over his ear mike, the judging panel confirmed with him several times if he needed help. Of course, this communication was only to him and no one else.
If a player got into an accident, such incidents wouldn’t be revealed to other players.
Yin Ruoyi shook his head after some hesitation. Once he went out, his points would be directly deducted.
He knew that Gu Qingjiu was a strong player, but he couldn’t be sure that she could deal with the others all by herself.
He walked to an area, sized up the surroundings, and after confirming there weren’t any obvious traces of animal movements, he then sat down and checked on his wrist.
Other than numbness, it was fine. Though, he felt slightly dizzy.
One could see the temples on his head.
It was an alarming sight.
Yin Ruoyi gazed at the ground before him with a dark countenance. Water droplets were still dripping from the tree leaves continuously.
As the raindrops hit the ground, it produced a noisy sound.
Yin Ruoyi felt some pressure.
He hadn’t expected to get injured. Hence, his initial plans were disrupted all of a sudden.
At the moment, he didn’t know where Gu Qingjiu was, and whether they had the chance to encounter each other.
He was in a dilemma. He was not sure if he should avoid the center, or if he should walk outwards and find a safe spot to hide until the competition was over.
After all, the items in his bag were enough to last him until tomorrow.
But Yin Ruoyi couldn’t take this lying down.
He wanted to duel with Cruff, but after such an accident happened, of course, he wouldn’t try to play the hero and continue entertaining such thoughts.
It was just that he couldn’t retreat just like that.
With those hesitations, he stood where he was and mulled over this.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingjiu was still moving somewhere close to that cave.
At the time, she couldn’t have known about Yin Ruoyi’s injury. Since there wasn’t any announcement about the change in rankings or points, she felt slightly relaxed.
On an individual basis, she had 13 points. If she were to assume the other China team member had obtained no points, Yin Ruoyi should have 9 points.
Of course, she didn’t know that Yin Ruoyi indeed had 9 points.
On the US side, their total points were 14 points, but out of those 10 points were obtained by Cruff alone.
He wasn’t that much behind Gu Qingjiu on an individual basis.
That meant, regardless of who would be eliminated, it would result in a great change in points.
Because their points were too high.
Seeing as the rain had more or less stopped, Gu Qingjiu prepared to jump down from the cave. But at that instant, she retracted her arms and legs.
Ahead, a golden figure with black stripes appeared. Its figure indistinctly exuded the air of the king of the forest.
F*CK!
Gu Qingjiu soundlessly cussed in her heart.
To think it was that tiger!
The tiger saw Gu Qingjiu. Probably because of an old hatred welling up in his heart, he instantly let out a deafening tiger roar.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
And at an instant, he sprinted straight towards Gu Qingjiu.
Swooping down, it forcefully kicked against the rock wall, and very nearly managed to jump up on that momentum.
The cave was only in the lower center part of the rock wall, so if the tiger were to use the momentum of his movement, he would be able to crawl up.
But Gu Qingjiu nimbly moved and agilely raised her leg and stomped on the head of this king of beasts before it crawled up.
And that caused it to fall downwards.
After training for four years, she had considerable strength, and even if it were the king of beasts it would have to temporarily lie down.
