"Wow, Lu Fan actually tamed the Horse King! That's amazing!"
"Now there's hope! Ma Wang's speed will definitely get Lu Fan to An Lan's side as soon as possible."
Chinese viewers cheered excitedly, and the screen was filled with a flurry of comments.
In contrast, the audiences in the United States and Japan were completely stunned by this sudden scene.
They were originally looking forward to Lu Fan getting into trouble, hoping to see a good show.
To their surprise, Lu Fan came up with such a brilliant idea to successfully tame the horse king, which greatly exceeded their expectations.
"How is this possible? How did he do it?" A viewer from the United States couldn't believe his eyes and kept asking questions in the live chat, full of disbelief.
"Hmph, don't underestimate our Chinese contestants. Lu Fan is truly skilled; he's not someone you can easily look down on!"
In the wilderness, Lu Fan rode Lightning steadily, speeding along at breakneck speed.
His eyes were firm and confident, shining like the North Star in the cold night. He had only one unwavering belief in his heart: he must get to An Lan's side as quickly as possible and protect her.
Lightning seemed to deeply sense Lu Fan's determination. Its muscles tensed, and every tendon burst forth with boundless power. Its four hooves moved rapidly across the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
Although Big Black was struggling to catch up, its indomitable spirit kept it close behind, determined not to fall behind even a step.
As time passed, Lu Fan got closer and closer to the shelter.
He rode his majestic lightning bolt, galloping wildly across the wilderness.
Those rugged terrains became like smooth roads under Lightning's feet.
Lightning was born to belong to this wilderness; every muscle and every inch of its skin seemed to have grown for such unrestrained running.
In the live stream, the viewers were chatting enthusiastically.
"Riding a horse is so fast! What usually takes two or three hours can now be covered in just over ten minutes."
"The scene of the horses galloping just now was so amazing that it immediately reminded me of the scene in 'Journey to the West' where Sun Wukong was herding horses in the Milky Way when I was a child."
"Now that you mention it, I remember everything! Back when I was Marshal Tianpeng in Heaven, Sun Wukong was herding horses in the territory under my jurisdiction."
"Ah... Ahhh, I remember now too. We were colleagues upstairs. I also remembered the days when I was licking mountains of rice and noodles in the Heavenly Palace. I really miss those days."
"Wow, everyone upstairs is a genius! Their ideas are absolutely brilliant!"
After mounting his horse, Lu Fan arrived near the small pool in just 20 minutes. He steadily stopped the horse and began to carefully observe the surrounding terrain.
Every blade of grass and every tree here could hide danger, so Lu Fan dared not be careless in the slightest.
Suddenly, a notification from Heaven appeared without warning.
When danger approaches, turn your head to the right to avoid it.
With his agile reflexes honed through years of training in the wilderness, Lu Fan turned his head to the right almost instantly upon hearing the notification tone.
A stone axe flew past him with a whooshing sound, crashing heavily to the ground, its blade embedding itself in the soil and kicking up a cloud of dust.
Lu Fan was startled and turned his head to see a figure slowly standing up from the bushes.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Karba. What was he doing here?
It turned out that Kalba had been running all the way and finally reached the small pond. Exhausted and thirsty, he stopped to drink water.
However, after drinking the water, he did not trigger the ten-thousand-fold return. He secretly guessed that this was probably the same water source where Lu Fan had triggered the ten-thousand-fold return before.
This means that Lu Fan's shelter must be nearby.
Karba, filled with resentment, climbed to the top of the mountain, panting heavily. He was just about to catch his breath and take a look at the terrain.
But what he saw before him made his eyes widen in shock—Lu Fan had actually managed to tame the Horse King!
Jealousy and anger surged into Kalba's heart like a tidal wave.
His hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, as he frantically plotted how to sabotage Lu Fan's plans.
"This Chinese brat actually has such abilities, we absolutely cannot let him succeed!" Kalba cursed under his breath, his face contorted with rage and jealousy.
So Kalba decided to wait there.
He gripped his meticulously crafted stone axe tightly, carefully concealing himself behind the dense bushes, like a lurking wolf, quietly awaiting Lu Fan's arrival.
When Lu Fan appeared in his field of vision riding the Horse King, a fierce and resolute glint flashed in Kalba's eyes, and he threw the stone axe at Lu Fan without hesitation.
The stone axe, filled with his malice, sliced through the air, heading straight for Lu Fan.
Fortunately, Lu Fan reacted quickly and successfully dodged the fatal blow.
The live stream chat instantly erupted in excitement.
"My God, that was so dangerous! It was a life-or-death situation!"
"It's Karba?! What's he doing here?! How dare he!"
"Luckily, the great god Lu Fan dodged it, otherwise it would have been dangerous."
"Damn those American bastards, so insidious, resorting to such underhanded sneak attacks!"
The American viewers, however, remained defiant, arguing in the live chat: "That's called strategy. Lu Fan just wasn't good enough to dodge it, humph!"
"Pah, you guys just can't accept defeat. Just wait and see how Lu Fan deals with him!" The Chinese audience immediately retorted, their words full of trust and support for Lu Fan.
Kalba emerged from behind the bushes, a sinister smile on his face, and said loudly, "You're Lu Fan from China? Great, I've finally found you."
At this moment, Lu Fan had no intention of paying attention to him; his face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm.
He thought of something even more terrifying: if Kalba had already reached his side, then it was very likely that Mei Chuan Neiku had also reached An Lan's side.
Thinking of this, Lu Fan was extremely anxious; he had to seize every minute and second to get back.
Seeing that Lu Fan ignored him, Kalba assumed that Lu Fan was scared and became even more unscrupulous, challenging Lu Fan: "Chinese kid, do you dare to come down and fight me one-on-one?"
After saying that, he picked up his stone axe and stared intently at Lu Fan, his eyes seeming to want to devour Lu Fan alive.
"What nonsense are you spouting? I can't understand a word you're saying!" Lu Fan was extremely anxious and didn't want to get entangled with Kalba any further.
So he suddenly squeezed the horse's belly with both legs.
"Get the hell out of my way!"
Like an arrow released from a bow, King Horse Lightning charged straight toward Kalba with unstoppable momentum.
Its imposing presence was like a high-speed war chariot, chilling to the bone.
Seeing the lightning rushing towards him like a ferocious beast, Kalba was instantly terrified, his arrogant expression vanishing without a trace.
He tried to escape, but it was all too late.
The impact of the Horse King was immense, sending Kalba flying.
Kalba flew through the air in an ugly arc before crashing heavily into the small pond with a "plop," splashing up a large amount of water and creating ripples on the surface.
"Haha, Karba, this is what happens to you!" In the live stream, Chinese viewers cheered excitedly at this scene, and the barrage of comments was filled with mockery of Karba and praise for Lu Fan.
"This is impossible! How could Kalba be knocked down so easily!" The American viewers were filled with resentment, frantically sending comments on the screen, unwilling to accept this result.
"The facts are right in front of you, your people are just no good! Stop being so stubborn!" The Chinese audience retorted mercilessly, every word hitting the sore spot of the American audience.
"How can you Chinese allow your athletes to hurt others like this!" The American audience was still trying to argue.
"Hey, that's weird. It was clearly that bastard Karba of yours who launched the sneak attack first. Have you no shame at all?!"
"You're allowed to launch sneak attacks, but we're not allowed to retaliate? Show us your true strength if you dare, stop playing dirty tricks!"
Lu Fan paid no attention to Kalba, who was struggling desperately in the pool. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind: to get back to the shelter and support An Lan as quickly as possible.
He once again urged the lightning and sped toward his sanctuary.
Big Black also roused itself and followed closely behind Horse King, its agile figure seemingly proclaiming its loyalty.
After choking on some water, Karba, who had fallen into the water, scrambled to his feet, clutching his chest.
He was about to start cursing when he looked up and saw Big Black following behind Lu Fan.
Faced with such a huge, fierce-looking wolf, Kalba turned pale with fright, his legs went weak, and he quickly shrank back into the water, looking just like a frightened mouse.
The viewers in the live stream burst into laughter at this scene.
"These are the warriors of your beautiful country? What a joke!"
"Look at him, he's like a turtle hiding in its shell, so embarrassing!"
"Now you know how powerful our great Lu Fan is, right? Still dare to underestimate us!"
"They can't even beat Lu Fan's pet, they're really overestimating themselves!"
Finally, Lu Fan returned to his shelter.
He quickly jumped off Lightning's back, hurried into the house, and cautiously checked for anything unusual.
The items inside the room were arranged neatly and appeared to have not been disturbed.
Lu Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.
But he knew the danger was not completely over, and he had to start packing his equipment immediately in case of any potential crisis.
