Chu Xiaoxiao spoke, bringing the camera to a large boulder. Beside her were two young men around twenty, their faces still showing a hint of naivety, obviously still students.
These two were precisely Liu Hai and Wang Zinan, who had initially ventured into the forest for exploration.
Back then, just as they were grabbed by the Tree of Life's vines, Xu Xing, wearing the Corona Battle Armor, risked everything to save them.
Though a priceless piece of battle armor was damaged.
Fortunately, these two youths were not affected in any way.
After being unconscious for a short time, they woke up and were subsequently rescued by reinforcements.
They have now also received a notification from the Abnormality Department.
Hoping they could cooperate in the filming of this exploration program, leading to the current scene.
"I was rescued by Brother Xu right here. We were caught by the vines, and I thought I was done for, but unexpectedly, he disregarded his own safety to save us back..."
Liu Hai spoke while looking at the surrounding environment.
At this moment, he was genuinely expressing his feelings.
The Brother Xu who saved him is now seriously injured and still lying in a hospital bed.
Beside him, Wang Zinan also wore a pensive expression, everything here reminding him of the terrifying scene just a few days ago.
Ferocious demon beasts, the tragic death of a friend, eerie vines, and the overwhelming presence of a giant as if the sky were falling.
These images persistently haunted his mind, keeping him awake at night.
Now shown on camera, the two young men appeared terrified and full of regret.
Anyone could see the remorse in their hearts at this moment.
This was exactly what Ji Pengzhi wanted to see.
Both of them were students who hadn't stepped into society, so naturally, they couldn't have acting skills.
But the director team didn't expect them to master any skills, and just started filming directly.
Because, after all, this was a semi-documentary exploration program, and their expressions were genuinely genuine.
The program Ji Pengzhi was in charge of, the Transcendents Entering the World, aimed not only to introduce transcendent individuals to the public but also to dissuade some explorers from venturing here.
Upon seeing the fate of those who also came for exploration, others would be influenced more or less.
In this world, there are always those daredevils who don't fear death.
Even though paths had been entirely blocked, some still find ways to cross the line and come over.
Some people even posted online, hoping for more and more monsters.
So they could break out of their monotonous and dire lives and start anew.
For those who fear peace and order, the emergence of transcendents opened a new door for them.
There were countless people secretly coming to the immortal mountains in various ways, planning to seek the so-called opportunity.
At this time, Chu Liang was also following the crew further into the forest.
His line wasn't spoken here; he came today purely as a stand-in.
The director, seeing Chu Xiaoxiao's influence, gave him a job carrying equipment, letting him observe and learn well.
To Chu Liang, the entire filming process seemed quite dull.
Unlike the shots shown on TV, filming often disrupted the sequence, and the plot couldn't connect, relying entirely on post-editing.
Therefore, after watching on-site for a long time, Chu Liang finally had some realization and roughly guessed the plot's direction.
In essence, it wasn't much different from the exploration films he had seen before, reconstructing the entire incident through engaging one or two participants.
However, this program was different, adding its own storyline.
Under normal circumstances, the story would end here.
Next, it would be the support from the Abnormality Department rescuing several people and smoothly bringing them out of the immortal mountain.
But here was where the script's highlight began.
A large, tiger-like beast suddenly dashed out from the woods, charging at everyone.
Faced with such a terrifying creature they had never encountered, even though the crew knew this was a pre-arranged scene, they couldn't help but panic and act chaotically.
"Don't panic! Stay calm! Everyone, return to your positions! What is the purpose of them selecting you!? It's because of your expertise! Now is the time to show your skills! Everyone hold steady!"
From the back, director Ma You shouted to the crew, calming them down with difficulty.
Actually, this wasn't mainly his credit; it was the Hidden Dragon team member at the front who took action.
The woman in black who had saved the cameraman earlier jumped down from the treetop, drawing the long knife she carried, and instantly decapitated the beast.
"Ah!!"
Chu Xiaoxiao also let out a scream at the right moment.
This was part of her scripted lines.
However, at this moment, she didn't need any acting skills because she was genuinely frightened by that monster.
"It's dangerous here, follow me and let's get out."
The woman in black, half her face covered, had sharp eyes and a bold voice.
She followed the script, reciting her line, and then turned to lead them in one direction.
"Good!"
Ma You shouted, unclear whether he was praising her acting or her skills.
Thus, this segment of filming was completed.
The plot was simple: Chu Xiaoxiao and others encountered a monster attack during their exploration and were rescued by a mysterious transcendent who suddenly appeared.
Of course, this so-called monster was not real; it was projected using virtual holographic technology, though the crew didn't know this.
Next, the script arranged scenes of them meeting with Chang Hai and others.
The warriors of the Hidden Dragon Team never revealed their identities, but the insignia on their uniforms was clearly recorded, which will be relayed to the viewers.
The Abnormality Department wouldn't directly explain the personnel of the Hidden Dragon Action Group.
Instead, they conveyed through such a way, asking everyone not to worry about these monsters.
Because among humans, there also exists a group of transcendent beings, constantly protecting you.
This, in fact, was the core theme the program wanted to express, marking the first formal unveiling of transcendents to the world.
At this time, the sun on the horizon began to turn yellow, and unknowingly, it was already evening.
The final scene of this shoot was about to unfold.
This scene wasn't initially in the script, so even director Ma You didn't know what would happen next.
He could only follow behind Ji Pengzhi, ensuring the basic filming process wouldn't be interrupted.
"Buzz!"
The woman in black walking in front suddenly paused, a semi-transparent barrier flickering past her, blocking her path.
"What's going on..."
The woman in black read her lines calmly, touching the barrier once more.
With her touch, a series of ripples spread out around.
Everyone looked up, amazed to find their path back was unexpectedly blocked by an invisible barrier without them knowing when.
"Boom!!"
The woman in black drew her longsword, striking the top of the barrier without hesitation, resulting in a booming sound.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
The surrounding air seemed to tremble, leaving everyone in confusion.
"Don't worry, this is all scripted..."
Ji Pengzhi reassured them softly from behind.
The woman in black swung her longsword again, attacking dozens of times before finally stopping, panting slightly.
"It seems we are trapped; there should be other transcendents here..."
She turned towards the bewildered Chu Xiaoxiao and the two young men and spoke.
