The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 194 Jin's Tragic Situation

The ground suddenly trembled slightly, and tiny ripples spread across the calm lake surface. Jin Shi, who was almost asleep, woke up a little and looked up in confusion.

Dust billowed up from the hillside as a pink, unidentified creature hurtled towards them like a rolling stone, trailing a menacing cloud of smoke behind it!

Jin Shi's brain froze for a second, then he jumped up in alarm. But it was too late; the pink furball was already upon him, and he only had time to spread his wings to try and defend himself.

When the wings made contact with the fluff ball, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree; the pink fluff ball was crushed almost without any resistance! In slow motion, Jin Shi's face came into contact with it, and his face was deformed by the impact, gradually twisting, and his eyes bulged out, as if they might burst out at any moment.

A claw silently reached out and grabbed his neck. The next second, Jin Shi was run over, and the fur ball, carrying him, sped off in a sharp turn, heading back the way it came!

"GAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Jin Shi felt dizzy, as if he had been swept into a washing machine, his face making intimate contact with Mother Earth with each rotation before being crushed! He was thus carried straight to the filming location prepared in advance by the crew.

Meanwhile, inside the Claw Cave, the three brothers and Dijiang were already prepared, and the rest of the staff were also on high alert.

"Seriously, is it really okay for you to put the actors through this?" Xiaohang kept a close eye on the direction Chaos was heading, and couldn't help but complain.

Puss in Boots clasped his paws together, his gaze devout, "This is called sacrificing oneself for art!"

"Stop being dramatic. Hey! Here it comes!" As soon as Xiaohang finished speaking, they saw billowing smoke in the distance, and a smoke dragon rushed along the mountain road. Upon closer inspection, there was a rapidly rolling ball of fur in front of the smoke dragon, which was none other than Chaos.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Puss in Boots urged everyone.

Chaos arrived at the Claw Cave in less than a minute. As she approached, she slowed down slightly, and finally stopped by her monstrous strength. She grabbed the dizzy Jin Shi with one claw and handed him to Di Jiang.

As the golden, warm sunlight shone down, the previously listless Dijiang immediately perked up considerably.

"Wow! It's a giant golden bird!" Tianlu exclaimed, determined to ensure its own safety.

Jin Shi shook his head vigorously, and the wildly spinning world he felt slowly stopped, but the beasts in front of him were still blurry images. He barely managed to make out who they were and immediately flew into a rage.

"What are you bunch of furballs trying to do! Are you rebelling! You want to kill me, don't you!"

When Jin Shi shouted, Bi Xie curiously grabbed one of his legs and bent it upwards.

“I tell you, I, Ga! Ah, ah, ah…”

One leg twisted and snapped, shortening by a section. Jin Shi's body convulsed, his throat felt blocked, and he couldn't speak. The light he emitted also dimmed.

With a forceful pull, Bixie straightened his leg, and the dark cave was instantly illuminated!

"Ouch, that hurts so much! What are you doing?!"

"This lamp is nice, but it's a bit noisy."

……

Meanwhile, at the Pixiu's house, Walnut, who had been sleeping in late, finally got up.

"Ah~ Mwah."

He sat up sleepily and clung to the edge of the box. The entire box tilted with his weight and overturned as he tried to climb out.

"Moo-chi!!"

Walnut was trapped under the executioner's seat and struggled for a moment before finally crawling out.

"Ah, I'm still half asleep." He rubbed his eyes. It was a little past ten in the morning, and he hadn't eaten breakfast, so his stomach was rumbling loudly.

He rubbed his empty stomach, so hungry he couldn't help but shout, "Bixie, Baijie! Tianlu! Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry, Walnut!"

There was complete silence; the sound went unanswered, like a stone sinking into the sea.

gone?

Walnut suddenly felt nervous and quickly searched the house. He couldn't find the Pixiu, but he did find a note that told him that the three brothers had gone to film a movie and where the food was.

Walnut, clutching the note, looked around blankly. The room was empty, and the sounds of pedestrians outside echoed, just as they had when they were in the neighborhood. It felt as if he were the only one left in the world, and a sense of fear welled up inside him.

Walnut's little mouth twitched, and just as he was about to cry, a series of knocks on the door interrupted him.

"Dong dong dong."

"Is Walnut there?"

Is that the sound of the moonlit sky?

Walnut quickly held back her tears and hurriedly ran to open the door. When Yue Tian saw him, her eyes were still filled with tears that she couldn't let out.

"Hey! Are you alright, Walnut?"

Upon hearing this, Walnut hurriedly wiped away her tears in a panic. "Mwah, Walnut is alright. Why is Yue Tian here?"

"Oh, the boss and the third leader sent me. They said you might cry if you stayed alone as a beast, so they sent me to take you in," Yue Tianxia replied.

Walnut puffed up her cheeks immediately after hearing this, "No way!"

The moon and sky are silent.

I saw it all just now, and you're still trying to deny it.

The two beasts discussed it and decided to go to the film set to find the three brothers. However, before leaving, Yue Tian wanted to bring his best friend Huang Jiu along as well, so they went down the mountain together, playing around.

……

Back on set, after a carefully prepared scene was completed, Jin Shi was furious and threw a tantrum when he learned that it was all Puss in Boots' arrangement.

As the party in the wrong, Puss in Boots had no choice but to smile and appease them, while the other participants had already taken their photos.

"Let's leave it at that, but remember this: don't do it again! Otherwise, you'll face the wrath of the Three-Legged Golden Crow! Hmph!" Jin Shi finished speaking in one breath, then flicked his wings and snorted coldly.

Puss in Boots was secretly paying, thinking to himself, "Am I not already enduring their wrath?" But on the surface, he still smiled and said, "Ah, okay, okay, okay, I'll remember."

But I will dare next time.

"I'm leaving now, I need to rest for a while." Jin Shi raised his head high and strode away from the place.

The smile on Puss in Boots' face vanished in an instant. She looked down, took out her phone, and entered a newly created group chat.

[Preparing to move on to the next step, next we will... (like this, like this, and like that.)]

Bai Hechou (baijie): [If you're not the director, when did we discuss any further steps? And is this going to be completely unethical?]

Pixiu Da Bai: [This is so much fun! Count me in!]

The lazy, unambitious spirit: [Okay.]

Xiaohang rows the boat every day: [Take it easy, don't cause a ruckus.]

I don't know if Black Cat is being petty or if it's for the sake of art? Anyway, the next wave of persecution against Jin Shi is coming soon.

……

The next scene to be filmed is the mythical beast family going out for a trip. Jin Shi's script involves him being left alone at home, trying to escape while they're away, only to be tied up and become furious. After that, he won't have any more scenes; his next appearance will be in the main storyline involving Knife.

After giving instructions on the key points of filming and preparing the location, Puss in Boots shouted "Action!" and filming began!

Outside the cave, the darkness turned to light, and Tianlu ran out, looked up at the sky, and shouted with delight, "The rain has stopped! We can go out and play now!"

The family of five gathered together and happily emerged from the cave. Behind them, Jin Shi closed his eyes, trying to minimize his presence.

Once the beasts were far away, he slowly opened his eyes, a golden light flashing in them. "Ha! They're all gone. It's the perfect time to escape..."

Before he could finish speaking, the camera zoomed out, revealing that his feet were bound to a rock with a vine tied tightly to them.

Jin Shi was silent for two seconds, then suddenly erupted, frantically flapping its wings and desperately trying to break free, yelling, "You bunch of bastards!!"

"Cut! Not intense enough, let's try again." Puss in Boots ruthlessly skipped this part.

Second shoot...

They've left; now's the perfect time to escape.

Hope arises, then the feeling of being trapped is met with setbacks, and finally, it erupts from silence.

"Cut! The emotion still isn't there."

Third shoot...

Hope is seen, hope is shattered, a moment of silence, and then collapse erupts.

"Click! Still no luck."

The fourth time, the fifth time, the sixth time, and after the nth time...

"You still haven't passed after so many tries!! Are you kidding me? You're definitely kidding me! Did you remember the bed from before? Ah!!" It was clear that Jin Shi was truly having a mental breakdown this time.

Puss in Boots quickly comforted and calmed the actor down. Once Jin Shi had calmed down a bit, she suggested having lunch first, and the other animals readily agreed.

Jin Shi snorted coldly, and seeing the crew disperse, he followed. However, the next second… he felt his foot almost slip and fall. Looking back, he realized the vine was still tied to his foot! He hurriedly turned to call for help, but there wasn't a trace of any beasts nearby; they had all run away!

"You bunch of bastards!!!"

Half an hour later, a series of hoarse roars echoed through the mountains and forests, startling a flock of birds into flight!

This scene was captured by a hidden camera. Afterwards, Puss in Boots, whose tail was singed off, reviewed the footage and seemed quite satisfied, though the price was a bit high. If it weren't for the crew's strong sense of justice, she, the director, might have been arrested.

But why haven't Walnut and Moon Sky, who came to find the three brothers, arrived yet?

Scene change...

"Fourth Brother!! Can't you be a little more ambitious? All you do is stay at home and mess around with these things every day. Xiao Jiu even helped you get this job! If you keep neglecting your duties, I'm going to throw all of this out!"

Huang Wu roared like a lioness from the east of the river, while Huang Si desperately protected his figurine while forcing a smile.

"Hey, hey, Fifth Brother, don't get so excited. These things are very expensive when we go out, so don't break them."

"So you know it's expensive! You spent all the little money you earned as a stunt double on things that aren't worth it!!"

While Huang Wu was scolding Huang Si by the ear, Huang Jiu, Yue Tian, ​​and He Tao sat in a row not far away, eating watermelon. It was real watermelon, which Huang's parents had bought from the old goat.
