He slowly and methodically organized his equipment, each movement fluid and powerful, while constantly chuckling to himself.

"Come on, you little beasts, let me show you what I'm capable of. You'd all obediently become my reward!"

In the live stream, the barrage of comments from Chinese viewers scrolled wildly:

"To be honest, this Ah Zu is quite something, though his behavior is a bit crazy and a little bit perverted."

"I still remember the scene where he released himself to the moon, a world-famous painting."

"Haha, that's nothing. The real classic is him lying on the ground and sucking goat milk."

"He even wanted the sheep to do *that* for him; if the sheep's tongue hadn't been so rough, who knows what would have happened."

On the other side of the deserted island, Hikawa Okazaka of the Sakura Country stood still, his posture as straight as a pine tree, exuding an aura of quiet authority.

As a karate master, his eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit, eager to settle the score with the invading enemy.

He took a deep breath and slowly stretched his muscles, each joint making a crisp "crack" sound, as if declaring to the world: "I am ready. In this battle, I will dominate everything!"

As time went on, the countdown to the start of the defensive battle drew ever closer.

The entire wilderness was shrouded in a tense and oppressive atmosphere, like a fully drawn bow, ready to shoot a deadly arrow at any moment.

Lu Fan and his two companions, along with the other contestants, were on high alert. A fierce battle concerning life and death was about to unfold in this unknown wilderness.

As those long six hours passed by, the clock finally struck the moment when the challenge would begin.

The entire wilderness seemed to be instantly wound up by an invisible hand, and the air itself seemed to thin out due to the tense atmosphere.

Lu Fan and Ling Yue were tense, their muscles bulging, like two fully drawn crossbows, ready for battle.

The first wave of attacks is about to begin.

The big black dog beside him also noticed something was wrong; its fur stood on end, and it let out a low growl.

The sound echoed through the silent mountain forest, as if declaring war on the impending danger.

In an instant, a rustling sound came from the depths of the forest, as if some lurking giant beast was slowly awakening.

Immediately afterwards, a lithe black cheetah, with a slow but steady and powerful gait, slowly appeared.

It exudes a powerful and chilling aura, and with each step it takes, the surrounding air seems to be crushed by its imposing presence.

Those eerie green eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light in the darkness, like a demon from hell eyeing its prey.

Lu Fan looked closely and his heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this the black panther he had seen by chance in the wild before?

But at this moment, its appearance exudes an indescribable eeriness.

A long trail of drool hung from the corner of his mouth, leaving a wet mark on the ground, and his steps became unsteady.

His body swayed from time to time, clearly indicating that he had completely lost control, as if he were being tightly controlled by some mysterious and evil force, turning into a mindless killing machine.

The moment the cheetah spotted the shelter, it was like a powder keg had been ignited, letting out a deafening roar.

The sound seemed to penetrate one's soul, causing one's heartbeat to pause.

Immediately afterwards, it charged towards this side like an arrow released from a bow.

It moved so fast that it created a whooshing sound, like a black cannonball, and arrived at the fence in the blink of an eye.

It leaped high into the air, its agile figure drawing a black arc in the air, its movements so fluid as to be almost perfect, easily clearing the seemingly sturdy stone spike fence.

However, before it could land, a dark shadow pounced like lightning.

It turned out that Big Black, who had been waiting nearby and ready to pounce, used its strong body and extremely agile reflexes to press the cheetah hard to the ground like a cannonball.

The cheetah roared angrily, its voice filled with resentment and madness. It struggled desperately with its limbs, its sharp claws carving deep furrows in the ground, sending dirt and stones flying.

Undeterred, Big Black opened its massive jaws and bit down on the cheetah's neck, attempting to completely suppress its resistance with this fatal blow.

After the first move, Big Black seized the opportunity and jumped back. Although it didn't completely cripple Black Panther, it was enough.

Almost at the same instant, a loud "boom" rang out, like a small bomb exploding next to your ear.

Countless iron spikes, like flying shrapnel, spread out in a fan shape and, with astonishing speed and force, pierced deeply into the cheetah's body.

It turned out that Ling Yue had seized the critical moment when Black Panther was tackled and quickly threw the grenade over.

The sudden explosion instantly engulfed the cheetah's body in flames and smoke, creating a horrific scene of carnage.

It let out a shrill scream, a sound that seemed to tear eardrums, and rolled on the ground in agony, its body mangled and bloody, clearly having been half-dead from the explosion.

The cheetah was covered in blood, its body riddled with iron spikes, and its once smooth black fur was now tattered and tattered, making it look extremely wretched.

But the ferocity in its eyes did not diminish at all; on the contrary, it became even more frenzied because of its injuries.

It let out a low growl as it struggled to get up and attack again. Each effort was accompanied by a violent tremor in its body, showing how much pain it was enduring.

Upon seeing this, Lu Fan did not hesitate to draw his bow and nock an arrow.

His gaze was firm and focused, fixed on the cheetah's every move, as if he could see through its every intention.

His breathing was steady and rhythmic, making him appear exceptionally calm in the tense atmosphere.

With a crisp twang of the bowstring, a sharp arrow streaked through the air like a meteor, carrying all of Lu Fan's strength and determination, and aimed precisely at the cheetah.

The powerful impact caused the arrow to pierce its eye and penetrate deep into its brain.

The cheetah's body froze instantly, as if time itself had stood still, before it slowly collapsed, raising a cloud of dust, and lost its life.

Live broadcast room.

"Haha, this teamwork is amazing."

"Big Black is truly brave and worthy of being Lu Fan's number one dipping sauce."

"It was too fast, the battle was over in just a few dozen seconds, and every step was extremely dangerous."

Seeing the black panther fall, Lu Fan and Ling Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luckily, Big Black is a great help." Lu Fan smiled and patted Big Black's head.

Big Black stuck out its tongue, seemingly satisfied with its performance.

Ling Yue also smiled: "However, we still can't let our guard down."
