Lu Fan reached out and gently stroked its head, saying, "Something urgent has come up; we need to get going right away."
Afterwards, Lu Fan grabbed two buckets of water and hurriedly left the shelter, heading towards the wilderness from the previous day.
As summer approaches, around 5 a.m., the sky is already beginning to lighten.
Using the faint morning light, Lu Fan hurried along, and soon his body was soaked by the dew on the roadside.
Although Dahei didn't know why Lu Fan was in such a hurry, it still stayed close by his side, never leaving him.
At this time, the top leadership of China also closely monitored Lu Fan's actions.
"What is Lu Fan going to do? Judging from the direction he's heading, he's very likely to run into Karba in the wilderness."
"Is he going to deal with Kalba? That's too risky, too worrying."
"It shouldn't be. Look, Lu Fan didn't even bring a weapon. He must have other purposes."
Everyone began to speculate about Lu Fan's actions, their hearts filled with worry and curiosity. Their eyes followed Lu Fan closely, hoping that he could safely resolve this crisis.
As time went on, the viewers in the live stream were like ripples stirred up by a pebble thrown into a calm lake.
Chinese viewers quickly realized the astonishing news that Kalba and Meichuan Neku had joined forces. Instantly, the barrage of comments surged like a tidal wave, filled with deep concern for the safety of the two Chinese athletes.
Lu Fan's actions at this moment became the focus of heated discussion, with various speculations and blessings constantly refreshing the barrage of comments.
Everyone was silently praying for Lu Fan and An Lan, hoping they could get through this crisis safely.
In the live stream room in China, the barrage of comments exploded like a dazzling firework display.
The audience members shared their opinions and engaged in a lively discussion about Kalba and Meichuan Neku's sinister plot and Lu Fan's actions.
"These two scoundrels are definitely up to no good when they team up. Lu Fan, you'd better be careful!"
An anxious viewer posted in succession
"I think Lu Fan is heading into the wilderness because he might be hiding a secret weapon he discovered earlier, which he could use to deal with these two guys if needed."
One viewer, with a vivid imagination, offered their own guess.
"Maybe he's going to join other Chinese players. After all, there's strength in numbers, and unity is key to victory."
Some viewers left hopeful comments, trying to find a positive explanation for Lu Fan's actions.
"But what about An Lan? She's a girl after all, and that despicable man Mei Chuan Neiku is going to poison her. It's so worrying."
"They are too far apart to be rescued in time. Even the great god Lu Fan can only protect himself first and then think of a way."
Just as everyone was discussing it enthusiastically, viewers from the United States and Japan seemed to have received some kind of unified command, and they flooded into the Chinese live broadcast room in droves.
As soon as they entered, they started spamming the screen, their words filled with provocation and contempt, as if they wanted to turn the place upside down.
"Haha, your Lu Fan is about to be in trouble! Kalba is our country's ace player, he's definitely not going to escape this time!"
"Quickly have your leader send a message to Lu Fan, telling him to surrender obediently and stop making futile resistance."
The viewers in Japan were not to be outdone, and they jumped in to flood the screen with comments: "With Mei Chuan's help, An Lan is completely powerless to fight back. Just wait and see the joke!"
"I bet your so-called God Lu Fan is already running away in fear, hahaha."
These provocative words instantly ignited the anger of Chinese viewers, and a fierce online battle of insults erupted.
"Don't be so arrogant. Lu Fan will definitely show you what real strength is. You'll be crying then!"
"Exactly! Your contestants used such despicable methods; they are a disgrace to the wilderness survival community and do not deserve to participate in the competition!"
"If you're so tough, challenge the great Lu Fan to a one-on-one duel and see if he doesn't beat that Mei Chuan Neiku so badly he'll be pissing his ass and shitting his pants!"
The audience from the United States and Japan, however, remained relentless, acting like a group of crazed provocateurs, constantly throwing out various humiliating remarks: "You Chinese are all talk and no action. In the wilderness, you are just a group of weaklings who can be slaughtered at will."
Faced with such arrogant provocation, Chinese viewers united as one and resolutely fought back with powerful barrages of comments.
"Our Chinese athletes possess an indomitable will, far surpassing yours. Lu Fan and An Lan will be safe and sound, and your athletes will pay a heavy price for their actions!"
At this moment, the host, Wang Tao, spoke solemnly with a serious expression: "Our Chinese athletes possess an indomitable will and a fighting spirit."
We will strike back hard against any enemy that comes our way, and we hope that the United States and Japan can learn from their past mistakes.
We also urge all Chinese people to have faith in our athletes; they will surely overcome this challenge. Furthermore, please trust that our national leaders will make the right decisions.
Wang Tao's words were like a shot in the arm, calming the emotions of the Chinese audience and giving them more confidence.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan, who was in the wilderness, was completely unaware that a fierce war of words was taking place in the live broadcast room.
He led Dahei at a brisk pace and unknowingly arrived near the small pond. It was already past six o'clock.
The sunlight gradually grew hotter, draping the earth in a thin golden veil.
Lu Fan climbed to the top of the mountain he had reached the day before, gazing into the distance and carefully observing the surrounding terrain. Soon, he found the path leading to the Wild Horse Herd Depression.
That's right, Lu Fan's target this time is that herd of wild horses.
Anlan is about 120 kilometers away from Lu Fan. If he were to travel on foot alone, it would take him about 20 to 30 hours.
Moreover, they were traveling along a mountain path, and there were many unpredictable obstacles along the way. He was also unaware of the specific situation of contestant An Lan.
Time was of the essence, and there was no room for delay. Once Lu Fan found the way, he set off towards the depression without hesitation.
The sun was gradually rising higher, and a sultry atmosphere began to permeate the air, as if an invisible steamer had been placed over the entire world.
Big Black followed closely behind Lu Fan, occasionally sticking out its long tongue to cool itself.
It was making "huffing" sounds, as if complaining to Lu Fan about the hot weather and the rushed schedule.
Along the way, they traversed many treacherous terrains.
For a stretch of the road, Lu Fan needed to climb a steep rock face.
The stone wall was like irregularly shaped building blocks randomly placed by a giant, uneven and covered with lush green moss, slippery and uncertain at every point of contact.
Lu Fan gripped the cracks in the rock with both hands, his knuckles turning white from the effort. He struggled to find a foothold on the rock face, and each step upward required a great deal of effort.
Sweat streamed down his face, dripping onto the rocks below.
Meanwhile, Big Black paced anxiously below, occasionally letting out short, urgent cries, as if cheering Lu Fan on: "Master, you can do it!"
"Hey, Big Black, don't worry, I'll be right up there." Lu Fan said, panting, as he reassured Big Black, his eyes revealing a firm determination.
After finally getting over the rock wall, Lu Fan encountered another narrow ravine, bottomless, like a hideous wound cracked open in the earth.
Only a rotten tree trunk lay across the ravine, looking precarious and as if it would break at any moment.
The decaying tree trunk poses a risk of breaking.
The familiar Heavenly Dao notification sounded in Lu Fan's ears. Standing at the edge of the ravine, Lu Fan muttered to himself, "If I fall in, I'll become an 'Abyss Explorer,' and I probably won't even be able to find my remains."
Although he received a notification from the Heavenly Dao, Lu Fan gritted his teeth and decided to take the risk, thinking that An Lan was still waiting for rescue.
He carefully stepped onto the tree trunk, taking each step with extreme caution, for fear that he might accidentally fall into the abyss.
The tree trunk creaked and groaned under his weight, as if telling him how unbearable the burden was.
Lu Fan felt like a tightrope walker, every step was thrilling, and life and death hung in the balance.
Finally, just before the rotten wood was about to break, Lu Fan mustered all his strength and leaped to the other side.
