As time quietly passed, more and more South Korean viewers felt a genuine sense of envy.
This sentiment gradually fermented with the help of the internet, and some people even came up with an absurd statement online.
"Don't you think some of Lu Fan's habits are very similar to those of our South Koreans? Maybe he is actually a South Korean who was just adopted by China."
"Lu Fan's amazing inventions and outstanding ability to cope with disasters are all due to the powerful genes of our South Korean nation."
"That's right, Lu Fan looks exactly like one of us Koreans, with the same nose and two eyes, practically identical."
This statement was like a bombshell dropped into a calm lake, instantly creating a huge uproar online.
Chinese viewers were immediately enraged by such absurd remarks.
"What kind of bullshit is this? Lu Fan is clearly a genuine Chinese citizen, so how did he become one of your Koreans?"
"Could it be that the heat has irritated their brains, causing them to start talking nonsense and trying to take all the blame for themselves?"
"They were cursing each other before, and now they're trying to steal our players. It's absolutely outrageous."
Chinese viewers launched a counterattack in the comments section, with sharp and incisive comments raining down on the absurd remarks.
The next morning, Lu Fan was woken up early by the sweltering heat.
This awful weather! The sun hasn't even fully risen yet, but the air is already thick with a suffocating heat, as if even breathing is scalding hot.
Lu Fan groggily opened his eyes, yawned, stretched, and walked outside.
He looked around and found that the animals had all woken up and were leisurely drinking water.
However, Big Black was nowhere to be found in the doghouse.
"Big Black?"
Lu Fan shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing through the silent camp, but only deathly silence answered him.
He instantly became more alert, his eyes filled with doubt, and he began to look around, wondering to himself: Where did this big black dog go?
Lu Fan stood up, stretched his stiff limbs, and scanned his surroundings warily.
On the ground outside the tent, there was a series of familiar large footprints that stretched towards the reservoir.
"That guy must have gone to get a drink of water," Lu Fan muttered to himself as he quickly put on his shoes.
"Then I'll go get some water too."
Lu Fan yawned as he picked up the bamboo tube.
[Big Black is fighting with the cheetah]
Lu Fan instantly snapped back to reality, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
He quickly grabbed his weapon and hurriedly greeted An Lan, who had just woken up: "An Lan, I'm going out to take a look. You stay in the shelter and don't go out unnecessarily!"
An Lan, who had just stepped out of the room, looked bewildered. Before she could even ask what was going on, she saw Lu Fan's back disappear like an arrow.
He chased after the footprints with all his might, but before he had gone far, he heard a fierce fight and a deep roar.
Lu Fan's heart skipped a beat, his heart jumped into his throat, and his steps quickened involuntarily.
When he arrived at the reservoir, the scene before him made him gasp in shock.
Big Black was locked in a fierce standoff with a cheetah, both of them wounded, making for a brutal scene.
Several deep claw marks were now visible on the cheetah's once beautiful fur, and blood gushed out, staining its stripes red.
Big Black's condition was also not optimistic. Its ears were bitten, it had several scratches on its body, its fur was messy, and it looked terrible.
It turned out that Dahei had gone to the reservoir to drink water as usual, and after taking a few sips, he saw the cheetah also coming to drink water.
This reservoir is the lifeblood of the animals in the sanctuary. In this arid environment, water is the fundamental guarantee for their survival.
Cheetah's behavior undoubtedly broke the "rules of the game".
The two animals started fighting over the water source without saying a word.
Seeing this dangerous scene, Lu Fan was extremely anxious, his heart pounding in his chest.
He quickly drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming it intently at the cheetah.
However, the cheetah and Big Black were locked in a fierce battle, and he was hesitant to act rashly, fearing that he might accidentally injure Big Black.
Lu Fan gripped his weapon tightly and cautiously approached the two fighting sides, shouting loudly as he got closer: "Big Black, I'm coming!"
Upon hearing Lu Fan's voice, Dahei's spirits lifted instantly. Taking advantage of the cheetah's momentary distraction, it pounced like an arrow and bit down hard on the cheetah's hind leg.
The cheetah, in pain, let out a sharp roar and struggled desperately, its sharp claws scratching wildly at the black cheetah's body.
Lu Fan ran up to them and saw that Big Black and the cheetah were both bloodthirsty, so he knew he couldn't rush in rashly.
He suddenly remembered that he possessed an affinity for animals, which might be able to calm the cheetah down.
So he slowly loosened the bowstring, approached the cheetah step by step, and made soft sounds to try to soothe it.
"Hey, little guy, don't get excited, calm down..." Lu Fan said softly, forcing a gentle smile on his face.
His eyes were fixed on the cheetah's eyes, trying his best to show all his goodwill.
However, the cheetah was already in a bloodthirsty frenzy and completely ignored Lu Fan's attempts to calm it down.
It turned its head, staring fiercely at Lu Fan, letting out a low growl, its eyes seeming to say, "Don't come any closer, or I'll take care of you too!"
Lu Fan stopped in his tracks, knowing that it was impossible to calm the cheetah down using animal affection now.
It seems we'll have to find another way.
He drew the bowstring taut, his eyes fixed on the cheetah, searching for the perfect moment, his mind racing as he devised a plan.
This cheetah is agile and nimble, and its fighting power should not be underestimated.
Although Big Black is brave, it is still somewhat inferior to a cheetah, and it will definitely suffer losses if the fight goes on for a long time.
"I need to think of a way to save Big Black without hurting the cheetah," Lu Fan thought anxiously.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him.
He crouched low, carefully circled behind the cheetah, and found a secluded spot to hide.
Then, he picked up a stone and threw it with all his might at the side of the cheetah.
With a "crack," the stone hit the stone next to it and shattered, making a crisp sound.
Upon hearing the sound, the cheetah assumed an enemy was attacking it from the side and immediately leaped around like a spring.
Just as it leaped into the air, Lu Fan seized the opportunity and charged out from his hiding place like a tiger emerging from the mountains, swiftly firing an arrow from his bow.
With a "whoosh," the arrow flew out with terrifying force.
However, as a top predator, the cheetah possesses top-tier speed and reaction time.
At the critical moment, the cheetah actually managed to twist its body in mid-air.
The arrow, which was supposed to hit the head, struck the ear instead, piercing it through.
Blood dripped from its head onto the ground, and the cheetah, in pain, fell heavily to the ground.
The cheetah steadied itself, turned its head angrily, and pounced viciously at Lu Fan and Da Hei again.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the cheetah was right in front of him, and Lu Fan could even clearly smell the nauseating stench from its breath.
[Lie down]
The moment Lu Fan heard the notification tone, he didn't hesitate to lie back, and the cheetah flew over his head with a gust of wind.
Due to inertia, the cheetah charged forward a considerable distance.
However, with its powerful physique, it instantly twisted its body and once again confronted Lu Fan and Dahei.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate, and the air was thick with a suffocating tension. Even the hot wind seemed to be too scared to move by the tense atmosphere.
