"There's land over there, let's go there first!"
Lu Fan gripped An Lan's hand tightly and swam with all his might toward the small island to his left, which resembled a beacon of hope in the darkness.
Along the way, the two of them experienced waves of soreness in their arms from paddling for so long.
Finally, exhausted, they climbed onto the beach of the island.
【0:1:14】
Fortunately, we made it ashore before the exploration time ran out.
Upon stepping onto this solid ground, both of them breathed a long sigh of relief, as if the heavy burden they had been carrying had instantly vanished.
The island is not large, about the size of five or six football fields.
A few coconut trees grow sparsely on the beach, like loyal guardians, quietly protecting this mysterious land.
In the middle of the island is a dense thicket of shrubs and some trees of various shapes and crooked forms, which look like an abstract painting carefully created by nature.
At this point, today's exploration time has been completely used up.
As dusk approached and night was about to fall, the two had no choice but to rest on the island for the night and figure out how to return the next day.
Lu Fan noticed that An Lan licked her lips and knew that she was extremely thirsty.
He gently patted An Lan's shoulder and said with a smile, "Take a rest for a while, I'll go get you some coconuts to quench your thirst."
After saying that, he walked towards the coconut tree.
Fortunately, the coconut trees were all tilted to one side by the sea breeze, making them much easier to climb.
Lu Fan came to the tree, rubbed his hands together, stretched his muscles and bones, and then, like an agile monkey, began to climb up using both hands and feet.
Fortunately, the coconut tree was very resilient and steadily supported Lu Fan's weight.
He quickly climbed to a suitable position, took a deep breath, steadied himself, and then raised his axe and chopped hard at the joint of a plump coconut.
With a "bang," the coconut landed on the ground, bounced a few times on the beach, and rolled to An Lan's feet.
"then!"

Chinese contestant Lu Fan triggers a 10,000-fold return.
【Fresh coconuts 6*10 million】
Lu Fan then chopped down several more coconuts and slid down the tree trunk.
He picked up a coconut, raised his axe, and chopped it hard. The coconut shell cracked open, and sweet coconut juice flowed out instantly.
An Lan eagerly took the coconut and drank it in big gulps, a satisfied expression on her face.
“You’re back to life, you should drink too,” An Lan said with a smile, then handed the coconut to Lu Fan.
Lu Fan took the drink and sipped it, teasingly saying, "Ah, as expected, the one you drank was sweeter."
An Lan kicked Lu Fan directly, feigning anger, and said, "Nonsense, give it back if you're not going to drink it."
By this time, it was nearly evening, and the sun was gradually setting in the west, turning the sky a vibrant orange-red, as beautiful as a magnificent oil painting.
Lu Fan rubbed his rumbling stomach and said to An Lan, "Drinking coconut juice alone isn't enough. I'll go find something else to eat."
After saying that, he picked up the harpoon and walked towards the beach.
With the help of the Heavenly Dao's prompting, Lu Fan discovered traces of several fish in the shallows.
He approached cautiously, his eyes fixed on the fish's every move, the harpoon in his hand trembling slightly, ready to strike.
Once the fish were attracted by his animal affinity, he seized the opportunity and thrust forward with a harpoon, accurately piercing one of the fish.
"Haha, got him!"
Lu Fan shouted excitedly as he took the fish off the harpoon and threw it into the bamboo basket beside him.
With the help of the cheat software, Lu Fan successfully speared several fish.
He returned to Anlan's side with great joy, only to be stumped by a problem—there was no fire, and starting a fire by friction was too troublesome.
However, after thinking for a moment, Lu Fan still felt that he should eat cooked food.
"Sigh, I still have to work harder."
Just as Lu Fan was about to try to start a fire by rubbing sticks together, An Lan pulled a flint out of her pocket as if by magic.
Lu Fan immediately threw aside the stick he was holding, which he had prepared for drilling wood, and said with surprise, "I didn't expect you to have brought flint!"
"I had a feeling I might need it when I left home, so I just brought it with me," An Lan explained with a smile.
Lu Fan couldn't help but sigh, "A woman's sixth sense is truly terrifying!"
With flint, starting a fire became a breeze.
Lu Fan found some dry branches and leaves and struck them with flint to create sparks.
Soon, a roaring campfire was lit, and the warm firelight instantly dispelled the surrounding chill, making people feel incredibly safe and secure.
He cleaned the fish, skewered them with branches, and roasted them over the campfire.
As the flames licked at the fish, its surface gradually turned golden brown, and the oil dripped into the fire, sizzling and releasing an enticing aroma.
An Lan looked at Lu Fan with tender eyes and said softly, "Be careful, don't burn yourself."
"It's okay, just wait a moment, it'll be ready soon." Lu Fan said as he kept turning the fish to make sure each side was cooked evenly.
Finally, the fish was cooked. Lu Fan handed the fish to An Lan, and the two of them devoured it.
"Mmm, this is so delicious! This is the best grilled fish I've ever had," An Lan mumbled between bites.
"Haha, how delicious can it be without salt? You're just too hungry, it's all in your head."
Lu Fan responded with a smile, then picked up a fish and took a bite, "Mmm, delicious~~ Ah~~!"
After we finished eating, it was completely dark.
The sunset on the horizon, like spilled paint, reflected on the sea, creating a dreamlike and artistic scene.
Looking at the gradually darkening surroundings, Lu Fan decided to first build a simple shelter so that they could safely spend the night.
He picked up his axe again, went into the woods, and chopped down some thick branches and large coconut leaves.
Back on the beach, he first built a simple frame with branches, then layered coconut leaves on it to create a roof that sheltered him from the wind and rain.
"Mission accomplished!" Lu Fan clapped his hands, looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction.
The two sat by the fire, enjoying the warmth of the moment.
As darkness fell, the sky became increasingly dark, and the countless stars shone brightly, like jewels set against the black canvas of the heavens.
"Ah, the last time I saw such a beautiful starry sky was before," Lu Fan couldn't help but exclaim.
An Lan burst out laughing, her laughter ringing out crisply in the quiet night.
After a while, Anlan couldn't help but worry: "I wonder if Dahei and the others will be hungry."
Lu Fan smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry, we'll be back tomorrow. Besides, we prepared so much fodder before we set off, not to mention Dahei, he definitely won't go hungry."
The shelter at this time.
Big Black was no longer as lively as before, and stayed by the shelter, howling towards the sea from time to time.
But he could not see Lu Fan and An Lan anywhere. He could only lie on the ground, whimpering, his voice full of loss and loneliness.
In the live stream, viewers left numerous comments:
"Ah, Big Black looks so disappointed."
"Waaah, Dahei isn't lively anymore when it can't see its owner."
"Puppies are indeed the most loyal."
"No, Big Black is a wolf, not a dog. Wake up!"
"Alright students, it's time for a science lesson: how to distinguish between wolves and dogs."
To distinguish between a wolf and a dog, look at their paws. Soft paw pads indicate a wolf, while calluses that have hardened indicate a dog (like those in Japan).
Look at the claws; sharp and pointed claws belong to wolves, while smoothed and hardened claws (like those of Japan) belong to dogs.
Judging by the skeleton, a flexible and agile skeleton indicates a wolf, while a skeleton with hardened bones (like those of Japan) indicates a dog.
"Look at the fur: coarse and messy fur indicates a wolf, while smooth and beautiful fur indicates a dog."
