As the journey continued, the surrounding trees became increasingly lush, their layers of branches and leaves intertwined, dividing the sky into irregular small pieces.

Along the way, Lu Fan saw many fruit trees in the distance, their branches laden with fruit, swaying gently in the breeze and exuding an enticing aroma.

However, with Anlan on his mind, he had no time to pay attention to these things and only glanced at her briefly before riding away.

After traveling for more than an hour, Lu Fan decided to take a short break.

He rode the lightning and stopped under a large, leafy tree.

The tree has an extremely large canopy, like a giant natural umbrella, which completely blocks out the scorching sunlight.

After a long and rapid journey, Lightning was still full of energy, but its stamina had been depleted and it needed to replenish its energy.

Lu Fan carefully selected tender green grass from the surroundings, cut it off handful by handful, and presented it to Lightning with both hands, looking as if he were comforting a close comrade-in-arms who had fought side by side for many years.

"Eat up, Lightning. We need to eat so we can continue our journey." He spoke softly, his eyes filled with tenderness and expectation.

Then he took out some salt and fed it to Lightning.

Lightning stuck out its tongue and licked happily, its tail swaying from side to side, completely captivated by the rare saltiness.

It's important to understand that obtaining salt is no easy task for wild animals.

They often have to find salt-rich plants or other very limited ways to supplement their trace amounts of salt, so salt is extremely attractive to them.

At the same time, like a wild horse that had broken free, Big Black plunged headlong into the dense forest without looking back.

"Don't go too far, you silly dog. Take a rest, we still have to keep going."

Lu Fan took a sip of water and shouted loudly in the direction Dahei had left.

With its innate hunting instincts, Dahei darted back and forth through the nearby grass, its agile movements like a black lightning bolt.

Chinese contestant Lu Fan triggers a 10,000-fold return.

[Healthy Wild Rabbit*]

Lu Fan turned around at the sound and saw Dahei emerge from the grass, carrying a wild rabbit in its mouth, and trotted over to him.

Big Black gently placed the rabbit in front of Lu Fan and happily wagged its tail.

It gently nudged the hare with its paw, then raised its head and looked at Lu Fan expectantly, as if it were showing off to its master: "Look how amazing I am!"

Lu Fan patted Dahei's head and praised, "Okay, you're the best. You eat it yourself, I'm not eating it."

As he spoke, he skillfully pulled out a dagger, cleanly and neatly skinned the rabbit, and threw the tender rabbit meat to Big Black.

Big Black immediately began to wolf down the food, eating with great relish.

Meanwhile, the live stream room was buzzing with excitement.

"Wow, Big Black's hunting skills are absolutely amazing! He's a true master of the wilderness!"

"Lightning is eating so heartily! I feel like it'll be able to run even faster after this meal, and it'll take off!"

"Lu Fan, please get some rest. The situation in An Lan is extremely urgent and cannot be delayed!"

Lu Fan then took out some dried meat to replenish his energy.

To be honest, the taste of this jerky is really not good.

Because a lot of salt was added during the pickling process to preserve it for a long time, it tasted so salty that it was bitter, and he had to keep drinking water to relieve the saltiness in his mouth.

Meanwhile, Mei Chuan Neiku had been lost in the woods for quite some time, wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly.

He stumbled along, muttering to himself, "This damn forest is so hard to walk through. Where on earth is An Lan hiding?!"

Sweat had already soaked through his clothes, clinging tightly to his body, and his hair was disheveled by the branches, hanging down in strands on his face.

The sweltering heat, coupled with the inability to find Anlan's shelter, made Mei Chuan Neiku increasingly irritable, and every step he took was accompanied by a series of complaints.

Finally, as he climbed up a small hill, panting heavily, the view before him suddenly opened up.

He squinted his small eyes and searched carefully in the mountains and forests for a long time before finally finding a clue.

On the other side of the mountain, a wisp of smoke rose from the forest. In this desolate wilderness, the smoke stood out conspicuously, like a beacon in the darkness.

He estimated the distance; it looked to be only three or four kilometers away.

"Haha, I've finally found you, Anlan!" Mei Chuan Neiku shouted excitedly.

A sinister and cunning smile appeared on its face, as if it could already see the dawn of victory right before its eyes, and that it was standing at the top of the world.

This news instantly caused a stir in his live stream.

"Lord Meichuan is amazing! He found the target so quickly, he's practically our hero!"

"We must let those Chinese people know the power of our Sakura Kingdom and make them bow down and submit!"

"Hahaha, victory belongs to our Sakura nation, and glory will surely be ours!"

Mei Chuan Neiku was so excited that his face turned red. He rushed down the mountain and ran wildly towards the direction of the cooking smoke.

As he ran, he let out a chilling, sinister laugh, as if he had already firmly grasped the fruits of victory and the whole world was at his feet.

Viewers in the live stream expressed their concern upon seeing Mei Chuan Neiku's actions.

"Oh no! That little devil has spotted An Lan's location! The situation is extremely critical!"

"Great God Lu Fan, hurry up! An Lan is about to be in danger!"

"Damn Mei Chuan Neiku, don't let him succeed!"

After a brief rest, Lu Fan mounted Lightning again and continued speeding towards Anlan's shelter.

He knew that time was of the essence, and every minute and every second was related to An Lan's life and safety, so there was no room for delay.

Lightning seemed to sense its master's anxiety and unease, and its four hooves pounded the ground, moving even faster than before, creating a whooshing sound.

Big Black followed closely behind, its agile figure appearing and disappearing in the grass like a black ghost.

[Turn left and drive 20 kilometers to reach your destination]

As they got closer to Anlan's shelter, Lu Fan's heart pounded faster and faster, as if it were about to leap out of his throat.

His hands gripped the lightning bolt's mane tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, his gaze fixed firmly ahead, revealing an unwavering determination and courage.

Meanwhile, An Lan was still engrossed in studying medicinal herbs in the shelter.

She was completely unaware that danger was closing in, and the shadow of death was already creeping in.

She gently picked up a freshly picked herb, placed it in front of her eyes, and carefully observed its texture and color, muttering to herself from time to time: "This herb looks somewhat similar to the one recorded in the ancient books, but not exactly the same. I wonder what its medicinal effects are."

Her eyes sparkled with a thirst for knowledge and a passion for exploration; she was completely immersed in her own world.

At this moment, the viewers in the live stream were extremely anxious and kept sending bullet comments.

"Anlan, stop studying! Danger is coming! Wake up!"

"The Meichuan Treasury is nearby. You'd better hide quickly and find a safe place to conceal yourself!"

At this moment, Mei Chuan Neiku had already sneaked up to a few hundred meters away from Anlan Shelter.

"Hahaha, I finally found it." It lowered its voice and laughed triumphantly, its face twisted and ferocious.

It approached cautiously, its eyes watching its surroundings warily, taking each step carefully, afraid of making the slightest sound.

Then, it crouched quietly in a thicket of grass, plotting a wicked scheme. It originally planned to poison Anlan's food with deadly pufferfish poison while she was out, causing her to die unknowingly.

Thinking of this, it took out the prepared pufferfish entrails from its pocket and a sinister smile appeared on its face.

"Hmph, once she's poisoned, she'll be completely at my mercy. Then, I'll force China to send me supplies and show them what I'm capable of."

He muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with greed, as if he could already see himself standing before China, swaggering and showing off.

In his live stream, viewers from Japan were spamming the chat with comments.

"Hahaha, the final victory can only belong to our Sakura Country! We are invincible!"

"Well done, Mei Chuan-kun! You are the bravest warrior of our Great Sakura Empire, our pride!"

Mei Chuan Neiku crouched outside An Lan's shelter, his eyes fixed on the simple yet vibrant little shack.

When An Lan's graceful figure appeared in its field of vision, its eyes instantly turned greedy and lewd, and an evil thought surged in its mind.

Originally, it only intended to use pufferfish poison to get rid of An Lan discreetly, but now, seeing An Lan's stunningly beautiful face, its evil thoughts grew stronger. It wanted to subdue her with its bare hands, take her back and torture her to humiliate China.

"I didn't expect her to be such a beauty. Wouldn't it be a waste to kill her? Hahaha." Mei Chuan Neiku let out a lewd laugh that sent chills down one's spine.

It collected the pufferfish's internal organs and decided to subdue Anlan by force.

The viewers in the live stream were furious.

"Ah, that damned Mei Chuan Neiku, he's worse than an animal!"

"Great God Lu Fan, hurry up! It'll be too late if you're any later!"

"Anlan, run! Bad guys are coming! Be careful!"
