The spread of these videos made the atmosphere in the live stream extremely heavy.
The audience expressed their condolences for the passing of the two contestants, while also expressing concern for the safety of their favorite contestants.
Chinese viewers focused their attention on Lu Fan and An Lan, leaving numerous comments in the live chat reminding the two to be careful and pay attention to their safety.
"Lu Fan, An Lan, be careful, there are dangers everywhere in the wilderness."
"Seeing what happened to Tali and Cardoro, I'm really worried about them. Please take good care of yourselves."
"Don't worry, with the great Lu Fan around, we're not afraid of any danger."
Seeing the announcement of yet another player's death, Lu Fan sighed.
An Lan also felt a sense of sorrow: "In fact, many people do not have the ability to survive in the wilderness, but they were chosen and have no choice but to work hard for the country."
Lu Fan noticed An Lan's emotions and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm here."
In the afternoon, the scorching sun still hung high in the sky, baking the earth until it was burning hot.
After a thrilling battle with the cheetah that morning, Lu Fan and An Lan were exhausted and decided to relax at the shelter.
They found two earthenware basins, filled them with clean water drawn from a nearby stream, and soaked their feet in them.
A cool sensation immediately spread from the soles of my feet to my whole body, and my fatigue seemed to dissipate considerably.
"This foot bath is so comfortable, I feel like I've come back to life." Lu Fan leaned back comfortably against the tree trunk, closed his eyes and enjoyed this rare moment of leisure.
An Lan smiled and rolled her eyes at him: "You know how to enjoy life. But the water is so cool and refreshing. I do feel much more relaxed after soaking my feet."
Then, Anlan took out the honeysuckle and honey she had collected earlier and skillfully brewed two cups of herbal tea.
Golden honey slowly blends into the clear tea, mingling with the delicate aroma of honeysuckle to create an enticing sweet fragrance.
"Here, try my special honeysuckle honey tea. It's refreshing and perfect for cooling down right now." An Lan handed a cup of herbal tea to Lu Fan.
This cup has a lot of honey in it.
Lu Fan took the teacup, took a small sip, and found the tea sweet, with the unique freshness of honeysuckle and the sweetness of honey, instantly dispelling the heat in his mouth.
"Mmm, so sweet!"
The two soaked their feet and drank herbal tea, chatting and laughing, enjoying this moment of peace and comfort.
However, this tranquility did not last long.
Suddenly, An Lan felt something slide past her feet. She instinctively looked down and saw a large, snow-white snake slowly crawling into the shelter.
This snake was as thick as an adult's arm, and its scales shimmered with a warm luster under the sunlight.
A pair of black bean-like eyes curiously surveyed everything around them.
"ah!"
An Lan screamed in terror and jumped up from the chair.
She frantically lifted her feet, trying to get away from this uninvited guest.
Hearing An Lan's scream, Lu Fan suddenly opened his eyes and followed her gaze, only to be startled by the white snake before him.
He quickly stood up, grabbed a wooden stick from beside him, and stood guard in front of An Lan, ready to deal with any possible attack from the white snake.
The White Snake meant no harm.
Upon seeing the notification sound, Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
He shielded An Lan behind him: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
After slowly crawling into the shelter, the white snake did not attack the two people, but instead went straight to the basin of water placed to the side.
It dipped its head into the water and drank it in big gulps. After finishing, it lay down comfortably by the basin, as if it had made this its summer retreat.
"What... what's going on with this snake?" An Lan looked at the white snake in front of her, still in shock, her voice trembling slightly.
Although Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, he did not put down the wooden stick in his hand.
"They're probably thirsty and came here to find water," Lu Fan added, offering words of comfort.
The two of them stared at the white snake cautiously, not daring to breathe.
After a while, the white snake seemed to have rested enough. It raised its head, glanced at the two of them, and then slowly crawled out of the shelter.
Only after the white snake's figure completely disappeared from sight did An Lan finally let out a long sigh of relief and plop down in a chair.
"I was terrified! I thought it was going to attack us."
Lu Fan put down the wooden stick in his hand and sat down again.
"I remember this year isn't the Year of the Snake, I guess this is God sending us blessings."
An Lan rolled her eyes at Lu Fan, still shaken: "Nonsense."
Suddenly she remembered something and asked, "Why is this white snake white? I've never seen a white snake before."
Lu Fan thought for a moment and said, "This might be a form of albinism. In nature, some animals suffer from a lack of melanin due to genetic mutations, resulting in their bodies appearing white or other light-colored."
Albinism is also relatively common in snakes, but most albino snakes have such striking colors that they struggle to survive in the wild, so we rarely see them.
"So that's how it is. It seems this white snake is quite special." An Lan couldn't help but feel a little curious about the white snake from earlier.
The two sat back down in their chairs and continued to enjoy their foot bath.
"On the other hand, wilderness survival is really full of all sorts of unexpected events and dangers."
"I just had a fierce battle with a cheetah this morning, and then I ran into a white snake this afternoon. I wonder what I'll encounter tomorrow," Lu Fan said with a sigh.
An Lan sighed softly: "Yes, we are all so insignificant in the face of nature."
As the two were talking, the comments in the live stream started scrolling wildly again.
"Haha, that scene was hilarious! An Lan's scream almost deafened me."
"That white snake is so beautiful. I wish I could keep one as a pet."
"Hey upstairs, you're kidding me. This is a snake from the wilderness. What if it's poisonous?"
"Lu Fan's mental fortitude is too strong. He can remain so calm even when he encounters the White Snake."
"Is it possible that Lu Fan was also terrified?"
The audience's banter and discussions made the atmosphere in the live stream lively.
When it was time for dinner, Big Black, who had gone out to play, ran back to the shelter like a triumphant warrior, a plump wild duck in its mouth.
It placed the wild duck at Lu Fan's feet, then wagged its tail, stuck out its tongue, and looked at Lu Fan with bright eyes, as if waiting for its owner's praise.
"Big Black, you're truly our lucky star!"
An Lan smiled and patted Da Hei's head. Da Hei, pleased with the praise, wagged its tail even more enthusiastically, almost knocking over the water basin next to it.
Lu Fan took the wild duck, which wasn't quite dead yet, and said with a smile, "See? I told you that the white snake came to deliver blessings, and look, it's here!"
