The entire team swayed from side to side. Another eagle spotted them and joined in. They pecked at the chicks in the middle and back while one launched a sneak attack on the Chicken Mama.
Ren Bahai behind them nearly got snatched by an eagle. He twisted his body, causing the whole team to lean sideways with him, barely dodging the eagle’s claws.
Everyone ran in fits and starts, shaking their bodies to nimbly evade the eagles’ attacks. During this, the Chicken Mama nearly tumbled to the ground several times.
Fortunately, the chicks behind worked together, and no one let go.
“Wow, this is too thrilling,” Gu Yue whispered.
Tang Qi behind her nodded repeatedly. “It’s so fun. I love it. I want to play again next time.”
Song Wenwei and Lu Nan exchanged helpless smiles. Those two kids.
A seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girl in the line spoke up. “Mom, this is so fun. I want to play again next time.”
“Shut up. The eagle will grab you first in a bit.”
“No way, no way. Mom will definitely protect me just like a Chicken Mama…”
Lu Nan gradually became engrossed in their conversation.
Though the girl’s mom sounded extremely impatient, her actions spoke louder. Lu Nan watched and couldn’t help but curve her lips into a slight smile.
Tang Qi inevitably caught sight of her smiling. Oh no…
She wailed internally—Is Lu Nan holding back some mischief? That smile looks off.
Song Wenwei had no idea what Lu Nan was thinking at that moment. Seeing this mother-daughter affection, would it make her sad…? Of course, she hadn’t forgotten the high school days when she’d brought food to Lu Nan and stumbled upon her arguing fiercely with her mother at the stairwell.
In a shadowed corner that concealed their figures, a finger slowly brushed against her waist—gentle, like an invisible feather floating nearby.
Lu Nan paused for a moment, then slowly lowered her hand. Their thumbs hooked together, but soon she grew unsatisfied with such limited contact.
With a turn of her large hand, she gripped Song Wenwei’s fully and held on tightly.
【Countdown—4:23, 4:22…】
Tang Qi glanced over and instantly widened her eyes. What’s going on? Why aren’t those hands letting go? What are you two doing!
Did they hold hands all the way from finding the Chicken Mama earlier? Lu Nan, you really have… zero sense of boundaries!
No hand-holding! Let go! Is this some matchmaking show? Congrats to the guests on successfully holding hands?!
No!
“Don’t zone out, Tang Qi—run left!!”
An eagle behind them lunged fiercely at Ren Bahai. The eagles had learned encirclement tactics, wrapping them up like dumplings.
Another eagle disrupted a group of chicks, scattering them. The chicks turned and latched onto another Chicken Mama.
Three eagles fixed ruthless gazes on the chicks in their line. No choice—the Chicken Mama could protect the front but not the rear.
Though the line wasn’t very long, reactions took time.
They could only dodge each approaching eagle. Evade one, and another waited.
In desperation, Gu Yue made a snap decision and let go. The five followed her as she bolted.
Just as an eagle was about to pounce, she latched onto another chicken line, swaying with it to evade pursuit. The eagle faced nothing but empty space.
“Wow, Gu Yue, you’re a master of the golden cicada shedding its shell,” You Hui praised.
Gu Yue raised a brow. “Average, average.”
【Countdown—2:01, 2:00…】
【The Evil Dragon’s scent bewitches the mind. Only one Chicken Mama on site possesses the power to resist bewitchment. Find this Chicken Mama within the time limit to gain her protection, or avoid the eagles.】
“Ahhh…”
“My child! Who took my child?”
“Did you eat my child? Turn it into egg custard? You’re so cruel.”
“Or was it you?”
“Who is it?”
The Chicken Mamas retracted their wings. The protective barrier around them vanished. Their gazes turned ferocious—indistinguishable from the eagles’.
“Run!”
You Hui’s panicked shout rang out amid the crowd.
Song Wenwei sensed trouble. At the same moment, she and Lu Nan let go of the hands on each other’s shoulders.
They spoke in unison—
“Lu Nan, run!”
“Song Wenwei, go!”
But their clasped hands didn’t release. Gu Yue and Tang Qi heard the Chicken Mamas’ words and tried to flee another way, only to be pulled back by Lu Nan and Song Wenwei.
“Run this way.”
Gu Yue also spotted their tightly gripped hands. She silently turned away, pretending to see nothing.
“Which one is the real Chicken Mama we need to find?” Tang Qi groaned in agony. This isn’t fun anymore. Not fun at all.
Gu Yue pointed ahead to the amusement rides. “How about we just hide instead? Forget finding a Chicken Mama. An eagle could pop out anytime and scoop us all up.”
“Let’s hide. Head to the Pirate Ship,” Lu Nan said, still holding Song Wenwei’s hand.
“Okay.”
The four dodged and weaved everywhere. They were still some distance from the Pirate Ship. To avoid eagle detection, they crept along while hiding.
The four crouched low, hands linked—like kittens foraging side by side.
The various amusement rides became the best hiding spots. They concealed themselves behind the Pirate Ship.
Fortunately, there were only four eagles, but plenty of chicks. By steering clear of the noisy crowds, as long as the eagles didn’t spot them, they could survive the time limit without capture.
Amusement park visitors fled in panic. Some hid, while others sought Chicken Mamas. They bypassed obstacle after obstacle. Which Chicken Mama was it?
The broadcast rang out again—
【Chicken Mamas refuse to accept other children…】
【Countdown: 59, 58…】
Amid the crowd, Yi Xiao and Mo Zhiting stood quietly in place, hands on each other’s shoulders. Chaos swirled around them—panicked people and eagles flying wildly with gaping maws.
Unsurprisingly, they had chosen the Chicken Mama immune to bewitchment.
In the midst of the frenzy, the two seemed isolated, exceptionally calm. The turmoil had nothing to do with them.
“We’re so lucky,” Yi Xiao said, eyeing the chaotic crowd.
Mo Zhiting nodded. “Lucky now. Won’t be so lucky later.”
Yi Xiao: “Huh?”
At the front of their line, Xia Zhengyun’s hand rested limply on Xia Yubing’s shoulder—loose, as if it might slip off any second.
Her fingers loosened, about to let go.
But the person ahead said, “Don’t let go.”
The broadcast blared again—
【Countdown—2, 1, 0.】
【Time’s up. Eagles enter sleep state.】
As the announcement ended, the Chicken Mamas seemed to snap out of it. Their ruthless gazes softened into maternal affection.
Squatting on the ground, they hurriedly soothed the children. Their gentle voices echoed across the vast amusement park.
“Don’t cry, little ones. Don’t cry.”
“You’re the bravest children.”
“The eagles are gone. Pass through the wall ahead, and you’ll reach the Evil Dragon’s palace—where the secrets you’ve sought await.”
“Go on, children.”
