What made Lu Fan's heart tremble even more was that the wild elephant in front of him seemed to have tears seeping from the corners of its eyes.

The tears slid slowly down his face, which was covered in dust and blood, and fell with a "plop" onto this war-torn land.

Looking at the wild elephant's blown-up head, Lu Fan felt as if a spice jar had been overturned, a mixture of emotions that were hard to describe.

When humanity first glimpsed the immense power of nature, it was filled with awe. As a result, all sorts of legends about immortals, ghosts, and monsters came into being, carrying people's respect and fear of nature.

However, as our understanding of nature deepened, the idea of ​​conquering it quietly took root in human hearts, and a challenge to nature was launched.

After a long period of development, the world today resembles a rickety, inverted pyramid.

Humans stand high above, while nature silently supports them from the bottom, always at risk of collapse.

Humanity remains intoxicated by the dream of rapid development, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

Lu Fan sighed deeply, his voice low and hoarse, carrying a hint of weariness and helplessness.

There was even a hint of self-deception, a self-comforting act, as he whispered to the wild elephant, "I'm sorry, we were just trying to survive..."

He could only keep convincing himself that in this life-or-death struggle, humanity had not yet found a good way to coexist harmoniously with nature, and in order to survive, they could only fight to the death with these ferocious beasts.

As the wild elephant breathed its last, the third round of the challenge finally came to an end.

In an instant, cheers erupted in the live stream, and the barrage of comments scrolled wildly like a surging tide.

"Lu Fan and Ling Yue are amazing! They can win even in such a desperate situation. They're simply incredible!"

"This battle was so intense! I was so nervous I barely dared to breathe, my heart was pounding in my chest!"

"Ling Yue is truly a military genius. His grenade throwing is so fast and accurate, he's practically a real-life version of the Jade-Faced Grenade King!"

"Haha, what a fitting title, Jade-Faced Grenade King!"

"Upstairs, haven't you seen it?"

With the end of the third round of challenges, this incredibly brutal survival competition has finally come to a close.

Lu Fan and Ling Yue narrowly defeated the wild elephant, and the cheers in the live broadcast room continued to echo.

The camera then shifts to the other contestants, whose circumstances are revealed to the audience, and the disparity between them is astounding.

Let's start with Bukatu from India. His experience is like a real-life version of "Lost in Thailand: Survival in the Wild".

When they encountered a swarm of poisonous bees in the first round, the scene was like a real-life Resident Evil movie, with the bees attacking like a barrage of bullets.

Bukatu jumped around, waving his hands wildly in the air, trying to drive away these agile little "assassins," but his movements were like slow motion in front of the poisonous bees, completely intimidating.

Before long, he was covered in stings, looking like a giant walking beehive. Normally, a child would be terrified to tears by such a sight.

They barely managed to survive thanks to the seemingly innate "anti-toxicity talent" of the Indian people, only to be unlucky enough to encounter two crazed antelopes in the second round.

The two antelopes seemed to have been injected with stimulants; their eyes were bloodshot, their heads were lowered, and they charged towards Bukatu recklessly.

At first, Bukatu was able to dodge left and right and barely hold on for a while, but unfortunately the poisonous bee venom continued to wreak havoc in his body, making his movements increasingly sluggish and his strength rapidly depleted.

Finally, an antelope seized the opportunity and its sharp horns pierced his neck, killing him instantly. This "wilderness survival journey" thus came to a tragic end prematurely.

Then look at Andrei from the United States; he has truly taken the "lying flat" philosophy to the extreme.

The first round featured a goat, the second a stag, and the third a wild boar.

He, on the other hand, never even thinks of fighting back when he sees an animal attacking. He just runs up a big tree and moves as nimbly as a monkey.

Once he was up in the tree, he stayed there steadily, watching with a leisurely air as the animals below trampled his little hut to pieces, as if he were watching a free "animal destruction carnival show".

In any case, he survived the challenge unscathed, and it has to be admitted that this guy's luck was simply off the charts, as if he was favored by Lady Luck throughout the entire process.

Besides them, there were also some contestants from less developed countries, for whom the challenge was more like a thrilling "survival adventure".

These contestants have close contact with nature in their daily lives and are very familiar with the habits of animals.

Some of them cleverly use traps, like experienced hunters, to easily trap attacking animals.

Some, with their agile and nimble skills, played a wonderful game of "hide-and-seek" with the animals and successfully overcame the challenge.

After all, the contestants who have persevered to this point all have their own unique survival strategies.

There were also some contestants who, although they didn't have such good luck or superb skills, reacted quickly and found a place to hide immediately, concealing themselves completely.

Although their supplies were almost completely destroyed by the animals, they at least survived.

In this brutal challenge, they vividly demonstrated in their own way what it means to "as long as you're alive, there's hope," even if that hope is as fragile as a candle flickering in the wind, it still burns tenaciously.

This challenge is undoubtedly a rigorous test of human survival skills.

Some people stand out and become the focus of attention by virtue of their strong abilities and fearless courage.

Some people manage to get through the challenge by sheer luck, which makes others both envious and helpless; while others are forced to leave in despair in the face of harsh reality, leaving only regrets.

...

Finally, the wild elephant that fell in front of Lu Fan slowly transformed into a card.

Lu Fan bent down and picked it up.

[Wilderness Survival Supplies Card]

[Life Extension Card: This card is a one-time consumable item. After using this card, everyone in the user's country will have their lifespan increased by five years.]

[Activate (This reward is non-refundable and cannot be applied to other cards)]

Looking at the description on the card, Lu Fan couldn't help but gasp and exclaim, "This...this is too outrageous! Directly increasing lifespan by five years, is that even reasonable?"

An Lan and Ling Yue were equally stunned by the card's powerful effects.

Lu Fan calmed himself down for a while before finally deciding to activate it.

However, I'm still a little disappointed that you can't stack other cards.

Otherwise, he remembered he had a critical hit card with a 50-year lifespan... what a pity.

The moment the card vanished in the air, it seemed as if an invisible yet immense force, centered on Lu Fan, rapidly spread like ripples throughout the entire country of China.

The three of them felt as if a warm, gentle stream was flowing through their bodies.

The feeling was faint, extremely subtle, and difficult to grasp, yet it was unmistakably real; something of paramount importance had changed.

Meanwhile, on every inch of land in China, a breathtaking miracle of life is unfolding.
