Chapter 303: Chapter 302: The Grand Adventure

The audience in front of the screen was mesmerized by Qi Xiao’s moves:

[Ahhhh, so cool, Brother Qi! My screen almost cracked from the coolness!]

[Wow, these skills! So high-energy, a shortcut I never imagined!]

[Wall-top parkour is so wild! Did the director team insure this enough?]

[This isn’t a hunter; it’s basically a Snow Mountain version of 007!]

[Mom asked me why I’m watching the live stream on my knees]

Qi Xiao paused slightly at the edge of the ice wall before leaping down.

His knee-bending movement was clean and sharp; the tactical boots struck the ice with a crisp sound, scattering ice shards that glimmered in the sunlight.

Xu Ying unconsciously held her breath—as this distance allowed her to clearly see the frost on his brow and those wolf-like sharp eyes.

When Qi Xiao straightened, the muscles under his tactical outfit tensed, his whole persona like an unsheathed blade, radiating sheer fierceness.

Chen Su stepped forward, his posture as upright as a pine tree, with the glacier-gray uniform flapping in the chilly wind.

His right arm extended horizontally, securing Xu Ying safely behind him. Under the goggles, his sharp eyes fixed on Qi Xiao, like an insurmountable Snow Mountain barrier.

The netizens became even more excited!

[Fight, fight! Battle at the snow mountain summit!]

[Ahhh, double-A standoff! This scene is so intense!!]

[Captain Chen’s stance to protect his wife (crossed out) teammate is explodingly cool!]

[Their gaze could kill me eight hundred times]

Chen Su’s snowman stamp, which could break the hunter’s nameplate, glimmered: "Little Xu Station Chief, you work on the puzzle, I’ll defend!"

"Okay!" Xu Ying swiftly lowered her head, her fingers moving quickly over the puzzle pieces.

In the snow, Chen Su’s white tactical suit stood out markedly. He slightly lowered his center of gravity, arms spread in a defensive stance, eyes sharp like a hawk. Qi Xiao, in his sleek black outfit, moved his neck, a wild grin at his lips.

The two moved almost simultaneously.

Chen Su struck first, a sharp straight punch aimed directly at Qi Xiao’s chest. Qi Xiao sidestepped the punch, his hand reaching to grab the nameplate at Chen Su’s back.

Chen Su reacted quickly, spinning away while sweeping his right leg sideways, forcing Qi Xiao back two steps.

The ice surface was slippery, but both their moves were as steady as stone. Qi Xiao suddenly switched tactics, pretending to tear at Chen Su’s left arm, while actually ducking low and reaching for Chen Su’s back with lightning speed.

Chen Su was prepared, taking a step back to widen the distance, simultaneously using his left hand to block, and forming his right hand into a claw aimed at Qi Xiao’s shoulder.

The two exchanged blows with clean efficiency, without any unnecessary flair. Each of Chen Su’s attacks carried the precision and efficiency of police training, while Qi Xiao’s movements were filled with a wild explosiveness, like a true snowfield cheetah.

[This is killing me with coolness!]

[Please don’t fight anymore~~ I’ll be sad if either of them is eliminated!]

[Is this really a fight, or are they just performing for Little Xu Station Chief?]

[Earlier, Captain Chen punched the ice wall so hard it left a mark, and Brother Qi kicked it so hard there were cracks. The battle is way too intense!]

[It’s not a fight? (X) It’s a peacock display of male competition (V)]

[Neither of them held back, both are determined to knock the other out, while Little Xu Station Chief is working on a puzzle. Such focus is unmatched.]

Chen Su’s white tactical suit flapped against the snowy backdrop as he slightly bent his knees, his arms spread like eagle wings, with his fingertips just inches away from Qi Xiao’s nameplate.

Qi Xiao’s black suit outlined his muscular frame as he lowered his center of gravity, like a snow leopard ready to pounce, with a sly curve on his lips.

"Bang!"

They struck simultaneously, the muffled impact of fists echoing in the ice valley.

Chen Su’s sharp thrust punch aimed at Qi Xiao’s throat, forcing him to lean back and dodge; Qi Xiao seized the opportunity to spin around, his right hand shooting toward Chen Su’s back like a snake’s strike.

Amidst the flying ice splinters, Chen Su suddenly changed his move.

Utilizing Qi Xiao’s forward momentum, he executed a beautiful shoulder throw that slammed him toward the ice surface—only for Qi Xiao to twist his waist and break free at the last moment.

Like a ghostly black figure, Qi Xiao circled to Chen Su’s flank, his fingertips already hooking onto the nameplate’s edge.

"Rip—"

"Rip—"

The sound of tearing rang out simultaneously.

Both stepped back two paces, each clutching the other’s nameplate in their hands.

In the sunlight, Chen Su’s goggles glinted, and Qi Xiao’s wolf fang necklace swayed gently.

"A tie?" Qi Xiao panted, raising an eyebrow.

Chen Su brushed off the ice chips from his tactical glove: "Seems so."

[These fight scenes outshine action movies!]

[Double knockout! Double knockout!]

[I screamed so loud when Captain Chen did that shoulder throw that the neighbors called the cops]

[Is Qi Xiao’s waist strength even real?]

And at that flash of a moment—

"It’s done!" Xu Ying’s cheer suddenly rang out.

The last puzzle piece in her hand fit seamlessly into the slot.

The ice gate at the maze’s end boomed open, the dawn of victory gilding the flag of the Snow Mountain Guard Team.

"Congratulations to the Snow Mountain Guard Team for successfully escorting the Heart of Snowfield to the finish!"

Using a megaphone, the director team announced the final battle results: "Snow Mountain Guard Team wins, Glacier Hunter Team narrowly loses!"

Chen Su and Qi Xiao exchanged a glance upon hearing the result.

Chen Su slowly opened his palm, Qi Xiao’s nameplate crumpled in his fingers.

His eyes, glacier-gray under the sun, still held lingering battle intent: "So, Boss Qi, how did the police’s grappling techniques feel?"

Qi Xiao crumpled Chen Su’s nameplate between his fingers, flashing a wild smile: "Hunters have a habit—"

He suddenly stepped closer, his wolf fang necklace making a faint sound: "When prey escapes, you chase it to the ends of the earth to bring it back."

Xu Ying was holding a crystal award for "Best Team," and turned around to see the two talking at a short distance, her eyes curving into crescents: "Wow, you guys fought so intensely just now, and now you’re chatting like this, does it feel like heroes appreciating each other?"

She jogged over, the tips of her hair still covered with celebratory glitter, "I saw the rhythm of your fight was pretty in sync, plus you knew each other before? You must be close, right?"

She held up the crystal award, the refracting icelight dancing among the three of them: "How about enjoying the victory dinner together later? You could even spar again afterward..."

Qi Xiao saw Xu Ying’s sparkling eyes and chuckled helplessly: "...Dinner is fine."

He glanced at Chen Su, shrugged, "Skip the sparring."

Chen Su took off his tactical gloves, adding stoically: "We’re not actually that close, just worked together a few times."

The air suddenly grew quiet.

Xu Ying blinked, almost dropping the crystal award: "...Eh?"

Just then, a staff member from the program group came forward with a box, and the assistant director shouted through a small megaphone: "Glacier Hunter Team’s loss requires them to take the punishment of the big adventure challenge, please come draw your big adventure challenge cards!"

The four members of the Glacier Hunter Team stepped forward to draw their big adventure challenge cards one by one.
