115: White Snake Brings Blessings

The spread of these videos made the atmosphere in the livestream room exceptionally heavy.

Viewers expressed their condolences for the passing of these two contestants one after another, while also worrying about the safety of the contestants they supported.

The Huaxia viewers focused their attention even more on Lu Fan and An Lan, constantly leaving messages in the barrage comments to remind them to be cautious and stay safe.

"Lu Fan, An Lan, you must be careful; the wilderness is full of danger everywhere."

"Seeing what happened to Tali and Cadoro, I'm really worried about them. Please protect yourselves."

"Don't worry, with Great God Lu Fan there, no danger is worth fearing."

Seeing the announcement of another contestant's death, Lu Fan also sighed.

An Lan also felt a sense of sorrow: "Actually, many people don't have the ability to survive in the wilderness; they were just chosen and have to work hard for their country."

Lu Fan saw An Lan's mood 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 scalding hot.

After the thrilling battle with the Cheetah in the morning, Lu Fan and An Lan were physically and mentally exhausted, so they decided to relax properly in the Shelter.

They found two clay basins, filled them with fresh water from a nearby stream, and soaked their feet.

Instantly, a cool sensation spread from the soles of their feet throughout their bodies, and much of their fatigue seemed to dissipate with it.

"Soaking feet is truly so comfortable; I feel like my whole self has come back to life." Lu Fan leaned comfortably against the tree trunk behind him, closing his eyes to enjoy this rare moment of leisure.

An Lan gave him a playful look and smiled: "Only you would know how to enjoy yourself, but this water is indeed icy and refreshing. My feet do feel much lighter after soaking."

Afterward, An Lan took out the honeysuckle and honey she had collected earlier and skillfully brewed two cups of herbal tea.

The golden honey slowly dissolved into the clear tea, blending with the elegant fragrance of the honeysuckle to release an inviting sweet aroma.

"Here, try my special honeysuckle honey tea. It clears heat and relieves summer heat, perfect for drinking right now." An Lan handed a cup of herbal tea to Lu Fan.

This cup had a lot of honey added to it.

Lu Fan took the teacup and took a small sip. The tea was sweet upon entry, carrying the unique freshness of honeysuckle and the sweetness of honey, instantly dispelling the parched heat in his mouth.

"Mmm, so sweet!"

The two of them soaked their feet while drinking 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 subconsciously 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 gentle luster under the sunlight.

A pair of black bean-like eyes curiously sized up everything around it.

"Ah!"

An Lan let out a terrified scream, jumping straight up from her chair.

She hurriedly lifted her feet, trying to get away from this uninvited guest.

Hearing An Lan's scream, Lu Fan snapped his eyes open. Following her gaze, he was also startled by the White Snake before them.

He quickly stood up, grabbing a wooden stick nearby and warily shielding An Lan, ready to respond to any possible attack from the White Snake.

[The White Snake bears no ill will.]

Seeing this prompt, Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

He shielded An Lan behind him: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

After the White Snake slowly crawled into the Shelter, it didn't attack the two of them. Instead, it went straight toward the water basin placed to the side.

It dipped its head into the water and drank in large gulps. After drinking, it even lay down comfortably by the side of the basin, seemingly treating this place as its summer resort.

"This... what's with this snake?" An Lan looked at the White Snake before her, still shaken, her voice trembling slightly.

Although Lu Fan felt relieved, he didn't put down the wooden stick in his hand.

"It's probably thirsty and came here to find water." Lu Fan followed up with a word of comfort.

The two of them stared cautiously at the White Snake, not even daring to breathe loudly.

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 back out of the Shelter.

Until the White Snake's figure completely disappeared from sight, An Lan finally let out a long sigh of relief and slumped back into her chair.

"That scared me to death. I thought it was going to attack us."

Lu Fan also put down the wooden stick and sat back down.

"I remember this year is the Year of the Snake, right? I reckon this was sent by the heavens to bring us luck."

An Lan gave Lu Fan a lingering, fearful look: "Nonsense."

Suddenly she remembered something and asked: "Why do you think that snake was white? I've never seen a White Snake before."

Lu Fan thought for a moment and said: "It might be albinism. In nature, some animals lack melanin due to genetic mutations, causing their bodies to appear white or other light colors.

This albinism is also relatively common among snakes, but most albino snakes have a hard time surviving in the wild because their body color is too conspicuous, so we rarely see them."

"So that's how it is. It seems that White Snake was quite special." An Lan couldn't help but feel a hint of curiosity toward the White Snake from just now.

The two of them sat back in their chairs and continued to enjoy their foot-soaking time.

"Speaking of which, this Wilderness Survival is truly full of all sorts of accidents and dangers.

We just had a big battle with a Cheetah in the morning, and then we encountered a White Snake in the afternoon. I wonder what we'll run into tomorrow." Lu Fan said with emotion.

An Lan sighed softly: "Yes, we are all so small in the face of nature."

As they were speaking, the barrage comments in the livestream room began to scroll frantically again.

"Haha, that scene just now was too funny. An Lan's scream almost deafened me."

"That White Snake is so beautiful. It would be great if I could keep one as a pet."

"Give it a rest, you upstairs. This is a snake in the wilderness. What if it's poisonous?"

"Great God Lu Fan's mental fortitude is just too strong. He can stay so calm even when encountering a White Snake."

"Is it possible that Lu Fan was also scared witless?"

The viewers' teasing and discussion made the atmosphere in the livestream room lively.

When it was time for dinner, Da Hei, who had been out playing, ran back to the Shelter like a triumphant warrior with a plump wild duck in its mouth.

It placed the wild duck at Lu Fan's feet, then wagged its tail and stuck out its tongue, its eyes shining as it looked at Lu Fan, as if waiting for its master's praise.

"Da Hei, you really are our lucky star!"

An Lan smiled and patted Da Hei's head. Receiving the praise, Da Hei wagged its tail even more vigorously, almost knocking over the nearby water basin.

Lu Fan took the wild duck, which wasn't quite dead yet, and said with a smile: "See? I told you that White Snake came to bring us luck. Look, didn't it arrive just like that!"
