Under the wondrous effect of animal affinity, the wild boar, which was originally as irritable as a small cannon, seemed to be steadily restrained by an invisible rein.
Under Lu Fan's firm yet gentle gaze, its frantic digging and defiant actions seemed to slow down and gradually come to a stop.
Its two long fangs gleamed with a chilling light in the afterglow of the setting sun, but at this moment, it no longer had the ferocious look that it had before, as if it wanted to tear people apart.
Its head was tilted to one side, its ears twitched restlessly, and its big eyes darted around, as if it was trying its best to decipher the mysterious code in Lu Fan's words, or as if it was struggling with the inexplicable sense of intimacy that welled up in its heart.
Lu Fan stood still, trying to keep his breathing low, his bow fully drawn, the arrowhead pointing straight at the wild boar.
If things go wrong, he wouldn't mind taking the wild boar's carcass back with him.
Time seemed to stand still, with only the gentle rustling of the wind through the grass. The deep, thunderous roar of the black dog added to the oppressive atmosphere of the tense moment.
An Lan stared intently at the scene before her, her hands unconsciously clenching tightly.
At this critical moment when tensions were running high, the wild boar seemed to have finally been persuaded and made a major decision.
It let out a heavy roar, a sound that seemed to be forced out of its throat, carrying a hint of resentment.
Then, it slowly turned around, waddled its rear end, and leisurely walked into the dense grass behind it, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Lu Fan and An Lan seemed to have their tension released at the same time, and they breathed a long sigh of relief.
An Lan's hand was still tightly gripping Lu Fan's arm, her palms sweaty and damp. "It...it's really gone!"
An Lan's voice trembled slightly, filled with surprise and excitement, as if she had discovered a new continent.
She stared at Lu Fan in disbelief, her eyes wide as if she were looking at a superhero straight out of a comic book.
"How did you do that? Negotiating with pigs? That's outrageous! I feel like I'm watching a sci-fi movie. I've been wanting to ask you this before, how did you tame Big Black and Big Horn?"
Lu Fan smiled as he put away his bow and arrows, secretly relieved that the animal's affinity hadn't let him down at the crucial moment.
"Maybe I'm just popular with small animals. It thought I wasn't a threat and was just taking a stroll. But this was really dangerous. In the future, we should be more careful and avoid provoking these wild animals."
Although there was nothing wrong with telling An Lan about his animal-friendly nature, he decided to keep it a secret for the time being. After all, people in other countries were also watching the live broadcast, and keeping some things from him would be beneficial.
On the way back, An Lan was still immersed in the shock of what had just happened.
Lu Fan's mind raced, and he suddenly remembered a wild apple grove nearby, where the sweet and sour green apples seemed to be beckoning him warmly.
"Anlan, let's go pick some green apples. They're sweet and sour, and one bite is absolutely delicious!" Lu Fan suggested enthusiastically, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
An Lan hadn't recovered from the shock just now, and nodded subconsciously.
Although still somewhat shaken, she was infected by Lu Fan's enthusiasm, as if being guided by an invisible hand, and followed him forward.
The two men, along with Big Black and Big Horn, headed towards the wild apple grove.
Soon, they found the wild apple grove.
The tree was laden with unripe apples, swaying gently in the breeze.
Lu Fan was as agile as a nimble monkey, and in a few swift movements, he climbed up the tree.
He stood on the tree branch, like a majestic general, picking apples one by one and throwing them precisely to An Lan below.
An Lan, like a well-trained catcher, happily caught the ball, occasionally letting out a clear and pleasant laugh.
The laughter echoed through the woods, startling several small birds that were perched there.

"Be careful, don't fall!" An Lan shouted at Lu Fan as she caught the apple, her eyes never leaving him for a moment, afraid that he might accidentally fall.
"Don't worry, I'm the king of tree climbing! This height is nothing!"
Before long, they had harvested a small basket full of green apples.
Lu Fan jumped down from the tree, dusted himself off, looked at the bag in An Lan's hand, and smiled with satisfaction: "Let's go back, we're in for a treat tonight!"
Back at the shelter, Lu Fan put the green apple aside, rubbed his hands together, and decided to show off his skills by making an incredibly delicious roasted lamb leg.
He skillfully cleaned the lamb leg, his technique resembling that of a professional chef.
Next, he took out various spices that Anlan had collected from the wild, chopped them up, and sprinkled them all over the lamb leg, then began to marinate it carefully.
An Lan helped out by washing the green apples she had picked, placing them on a flat stone, and cutting them into small pieces with a sharp dagger.
Watching Lu Fan focus on grilling the meat, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
This man can not only protect her like a superhero in dangerous moments, but he can also cook delicious food. He's practically an all-rounder; the only thing missing is the ability to fly.
In the live stream, viewers were also deeply attracted by this heartwarming and interesting scene, and the barrage of comments scrolled wildly like snowflakes.
"Wow, what an idyllic life! They're outsmarting wild boars, picking fruit, and cooking cozy meals. This is more exciting than any TV drama!"
"Lu Fan is not only a master of wilderness survival skills, but also an amazing cook. He's practically a one-dimensional warrior!"
"The way An Lan looks at Lu Fan, I'm totally shipping them! This couple is locked in, I'm taking the key!"
As the lamb leg slowly rotates over the fire, the fat drips onto the campfire, making a sizzling sound, which is like a beautiful symphony of food.
An enticing aroma began to permeate the entire shelter, filling everyone's nostrils and making their stomachs rumble with hunger.
Lu Fan turned the lamb leg over from time to time, sprinkling on some spices to ensure that every part was roasted to a golden brown and crispy.
Before long, the roasted lamb leg was ready.
Lu Fan placed the lamb leg on a clean wooden board and cut it into small pieces with a knife. The steaming lamb emitted an enticing aroma.
He and Anlan sat together at the table, with roasted lamb leg and sliced green apples in front of them, and began to enjoy the sumptuous dinner.
The sweet and sour taste of green apples perfectly complements the tender roasted lamb leg. Take a bite of lamb, then a piece of apple, and the rich texture and flavor are simply divine.
The two were immersed in the pleasure brought by the delicious food, enjoying this moment of comfort and satisfaction.
