Chapter 396: Are They Really in the Same Place?

Seeing Ning Fei pass through the dense swarm of poisonous mosquitoes as if nothing had happened, the netizens were thoroughly shocked.

But before everyone could marvel at it, Ning Fei had already arrived in another area.

"Look over there, everyone. Those are Amazon monkeys."

"There are quite a few monkeys in the Tropical Rainforest. These are woolly monkeys. Deeper in, there are even gorillas."

"Gorillas are extremely brutal."

"But these monkeys are too ugly. I still prefer the golden snub-nosed monkeys back in Qinshan."

Hearing Ning Fei's words, the netizens burst out laughing.

Golden snub-nosed monkeys were the cutest species of monkey, and that was no exaggeration!

"Yeah, the golden monkeys definitely look better."

"Haha, Temple Master Ning has seen too many animals. These gray monkeys can't even catch his eye anymore."

Ning Fei continued forward.

Animals were abundant here. After passing through a patch of woods, a marshland appeared ahead.

Several large puddles dotted the edge of the marshland, connecting to the river. Green leaves and other aquatic plants floated on the surface.

The scene looked rather magical.

Right at that moment, Ning Fei's Danger Perception warned him that the puddle was dangerous.

He immediately looked over.

"Look over there, everyone. It's a poison dart frog!"

"To think there's actually a poison dart frog here!"

"Poison dart frogs are the most beautiful frogs in the world. They aren't large, only a few centimeters long, but their bodies are incredibly colorful. They come in all sorts of colors."

"Black, bright red, yellow, orange, pink, green, blue, and so on. Furthermore, their patterns are exceptionally dazzling."

"This particular frog has an alternating pattern of black and sky-blue."

"Although this kind of frog is very small, about the size of a human fingernail, it is highly toxic. Just a piece of its skin can easily kill ten grown men."

"If any of you ever encounter one, you must be extremely careful."

Hearing Ning Fei's words, the Huaxia netizens were somewhat speechless.

"Did Temple Master Ning misunderstand something?"

"He probably thinks we're like him and would run off deep into the Tropical Rainforest."

"I wouldn't go to a place like that even if you beat me to death."

"I shiver just watching Temple Master Ning's stream right now, but I still can't tear my eyes away."

The drone's camera zoomed in, allowing the netizens to get a clear view of the poison dart frog.

To be fair, this type of frog was truly beautiful.

Its exterior was a riot of colors.

As the shot drew closer, they realized that not only was there a poison dart frog on the leaf, but there were two more beside it.

The frog on the leaf had connecting patches of sky-blue and black. Of the two beside it, one was orange, and the other was red on top and green on the bottom.

"Good lord, if a young poison dart frog dies, it really would be the black-haired burying the red-orange-yellow-green-cyan-blue-and-purple-haired."

"No, it should be the red-orange-yellow-green-cyan-blue-and-purple-haired burying the red-orange-yellow-green-cyan-blue-and-purple-haired."

"Are you guys practicing tongue twisters over here?"

Everyone looked at the poison dart frogs, joking around in the barrage.

"There are some indigenous people living in the Tropical Rainforest who use poison dart frogs for hunting."

"Their specific method is to first catch the frog, then tie its legs with thin vines, and gently tap its back with a small stick to make it secrete venom."

"The natives then coat their arrowheads with this venom, making it easier to hunt in the forest."

"That's also the origin of the poison dart frog's name."

Ning Fei shared another piece of trivia.

Just then, a drone suddenly flew toward Ning Fei. Attached to the drone was a Military Knife.

This was the reward from the Production Crew for yesterday's mission.

Ning Fei untied the Military Knife.

Having a small knife in the wild really made things much more convenient. Mainly, it meant cooking wouldn't be such a hassle anymore.

Next, his Wristband vibrated slightly.

The Production Crew announced the mission for the second day:

"Find one of the following animals: sloth, capybara, spider monkey, or manatee."

"Mission Reward: Choose one of the following items: one 2L bottle of mineral water, 5 high-calorie compressed biscuits, ten bananas, one sleeping bag, one hemostatic agent, one machete, one clean set of clothes, or one set of underwear."

The Production Crew's missions were broadcast simultaneously on the video feed, so the netizens knew exactly what tasks the contestants had to undertake.

In response to this, Ning Fei glanced at the mission, appearing completely calm.

For him, completing missions was just something to do in passing; he wouldn't go out of his way purely for the sake of the task.

His plan was very simple: experience life on this Tropical Rainforest island, have some fun, and head straight back once he'd had enough. He wasn't interested in the reward for surviving until the end either.

"Sloths and capybaras are both animals unique to the Tropical Rainforest."

"Now that the Production Crew has brought it up, I actually feel like going to see some capybaras."

"This animal is known as the most even-tempered creature. Many animals like to partner up with capybaras, earning them the nickname of the animal kingdom's 'social butterflies.'"

"They can even sunbathe shoulder-to-shoulder with crocodiles."

"Do you all know why so many animals like being around capybaras?"

Ning Fei asked with a smile, facing the drone.

"It's time for Temple Master Ning's trivia question segment again!"

"Who knows! Is it because they're cute?"

"Animals don't care if you're cute or not. As long as you're tasty, they'll eat you."

"Capybaras have very docile temperaments. Is there something special about them that attracts other animals?"

Everyone discussed it animatedly.

Ning Fei hadn't brought his mobile phone, so he didn't know if anyone had guessed the answer.

Smiling, he explained, "The answer is actually quite simple."

"You might not believe me when I say it."

"The reason capybaras are popular with other animals is that capybara poop is delicious. The other animals all love to eat their poop."

The moment Ning Fei's words fell, the netizens erupted into roars of laughter.

"Hahaha, Temple Master Ning, you're joking, right?"

"So there's actually a social butterfly that mingles using poop."

"What kind of cursed trivia is this!"

"Expanding our knowledge with Temple Master Ning!"

"Is that real? After hearing Temple Master Ning talk about it, even I want to try a bite."

"Haha, props to the guy above! You'd even dare to eat that."

After Ning Fei's remark was translated into the barrage, it caused a wave of laughter among the overseas netizens as well.

"This Huaxia guy is really interesting!"

"Watching his stream is way more fun!"

"Is there a stream channel dedicated entirely to his feed? Drop a link!"

"I think some app signed him. I'm going to go look for it."

Capybaras were indeed endearingly dopey by nature.

This animal didn't like to exercise, possessed a gentle disposition, and generally just ate leaves and the like on a normal day.

There were also many people in Huaxia who kept capybaras as pets.

At this thought, Ning Fei sent out Little falcon to scout the terrain and find a larger river nearby.

Along the banks of a river like that, there would basically be many different types of animals.

After all, water was the source of all life.

Following Little falcon's guidance, Ning Fei then walked toward a river off to one side.

Along the way, he saw many more interesting birds.

In the Tropical Rainforest, many birds had exceptionally large beaks and extremely long legs, much like the "Wang Dalu" of the bird world—the pelican.

The scenery here was truly beautiful—if one ignored the countless venomous snakes and poisonous insects.

Ning Fei passed through the woods, walking forward.

Before long, he arrived at the riverbank.

This river was massive, with a large expanse of moist, muddy earth lining its banks.

Looking toward that muddy patch, Ning Fei suddenly began to smile.

"My luck is pretty good. I just so happened to spot a herd of capybaras."

"Capybaras are a highly social species. They usually gather in family groups, with each herd numbering around twenty or so."

"Look over there. That herd is sunbathing right now."

The drone's camera swung over, and the netizens saw a large herd of capybaras resting on the bank, their eyes half-closed as they lay sprawled across the ground.

Beside every large capybara were two or three small capybaras. Because they looked exactly the same, it seemed as if they had been copy-pasted.

The scene was incredibly adorable.

The netizens let out a chorus of cries: "My heart is melting!" "So cute!" "I'm dying from cuteness!"

The foreign netizens were also dumbfounded upon seeing this scene.

The Production Crew continuously broadcasted footage of the contestants surviving.

When it switched to Lord Bear, he was pointing at a large bug: "That's a smore bug. It's rich in protein and can replenish the body's energy."

When it switched to Lord Ed: "These leaves are very warm. You can wear them as underwear."

When it switched to other contestants, it was always, "Ah, there's a venomous snake there, how dangerous," "What am I going to eat today?" or "I have to find a way to take shelter from the rain."

In short, it was nothing but a slew of miserable and nerve-wracking scenes.

But when it switched to Ning Fei's feed, the tone completely changed.

"Look, everyone, there's a herd of very cute capybaras on the riverbank."

Ning Fei's expression was composed, a smile resting on his face. He looked entirely at ease, somehow imparting a feeling of relaxation to anyone watching.

The foreign netizens couldn't help but blurt out, "Oh my god! Are they really in the same place?"
