75: Chapter 74 Mei Chuan Neiku Arrives at Anlan Shelter

As the journey continued, the surrounding trees became more lush, their layered branches and leaves intertwining to divide the sky into irregular small fragments.

Along the way, Lu Fan spotted many fruit trees from a distance, their branches heavy with fruit that swayed gently in the breeze, emitting an enticing aroma.

However, his heart was focused on An Lan, and he had no time to spare for these things, only glancing briefly as he galloped past.

After traveling continuously for over an hour, Lu Fan decided to take a short break.

He steered Lightning to a stop under a lush, leafy tree.

The tree's canopy was enormous, like a natural giant umbrella that tightly blocked out the scorching sunlight.

After the long gallop, although Lightning was still full of vitality, his stamina had been depleted and he needed to replenish his energy.

Lu Fan carefully selected fresh green grass from the surroundings, cutting it handful by handful and presenting it to Lightning with both hands, looking like he was comforting a close comrade-in-arms of many years.

“Eat up, Lightning. Once you're full, we'll continue our journey,” he whispered softly, his eyes full of pity and expectation.

Following that, he took out some salt to feed Lightning.

Lightning stuck out his tongue and licked it joyfully, his tail wagging uncontrollably, clearly obsessed with this rare salt.

One must know that for wild animals, obtaining salt is no easy task.

They often can only supplement trace amounts of salt by finding salt-rich plants or through other extremely limited means, so salt has a huge attraction for them.

At the same time, Da Hei, like a Wild Horse off its leash, plunged headlong into the dense forest without looking back.

“Don't run too far, silly dog. We have to keep moving after a short rest.”

Lu Fan took a sip of water and shouted loudly in the direction Da Hei had gone.

Relying on his innate hunting instincts, Da Hei darted back and forth through the nearby bushes, his figure agile like a bolt of black Lightning.

【Wilderness Survival Announcement】

【Huaguo Player Lu Fan triggered ten thousand times rebate】

【Healthy Wild Rabbit * 10,000】

Lu Fan heard the sound and looked back to see Da Hei emerging from the bushes with a Wild Rabbit in his mouth, trotting to his side.

Da Hei placed the Wild Rabbit gently in front of Lu Fan, wagging his tail happily.

He nudged the Wild Rabbit slightly with his paw and then looked up at Lu Fan expectantly, as if claiming credit from his master: “Look how capable I am!”

Lu Fan patted Da Hei's head and praised, “Good, you're still the capable one. You eat it yourself; I won't eat.”

As he spoke, he skillfully pulled out his dagger, cleanly skinned the rabbit, and threw the fresh rabbit meat to Da Hei.

Da Hei immediately began to devour it ravenously, eating with great relish.

Meanwhile, the livestream room was as lively as a boiling pot.

“Wow, Da Hei's hunting ability is simply amazing. He's a little wilderness expert!”

“Lightning is eating so heartily. I feel like he'll be able to run even faster and practically take flight after this meal!”

“Great God Lu Fan, hurry up and rest. The situation on An Lan's side is urgent and cannot be delayed!”

Lu Fan took out some jerky to replenish his own stamina.

To be honest, the taste of this jerky was really nothing to brag about.

Because a large amount of salt had been added during the curing process for long-term preservation, it tasted so salty it was bitter. He had to keep drinking water to alleviate the saltiness in his mouth.

At this time, Meichuan Neiku had been lost in the woods for a long while, spinning around like a headless fly.

He stumbled along, muttering incessantly, “This damn forest, why is it so hard to navigate? Where on earth is that An Lan hiding!”

Sweat had long since soaked through his clothes, clinging tightly to his body, and his hair was a tangled mess from the branches, hanging in strands over his face.

The hot weather, combined with the failure to find An Lan's Shelter, made Meichuan Neiku increasingly irritable, with every step accompanied by a string of complaints.

Finally, as he panted and climbed up a small hill, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

He squinted his small eyes and searched carefully through the mountain forest for a long time before finally discovering a clue.

On the other side of the mountain, a wisp of faint blue smoke was curling up from the woods. In this uninhabited wilderness, this wisp of smoke was exceptionally eye-catching, like a bright lamp in the dark.

He estimated the distance; it looked to be no more than three or four kilometers away.

“Haha, I finally found you, An Lan!” Meichuan Neiku shouted excitedly.

A sinister and cunning smile appeared on his face, as if he could already see the dawn of victory right before him, with himself standing at the top of the world.

This news instantly caused a stir in his livestream room.

“Lord Meichuan is too amazing, finding the target so quickly. He's simply our hero!”

“We must let those Huaguo people know the power of our Japan and make them submit!”

“Hahaha, victory belongs to our Japan, and glory shall surely be ours!”

Meichuan Neiku's face turned red with excitement, and he couldn't wait to rush down the mountain, sprinting toward the direction of the cooking smoke.

As he ran, he let out a spine-chilling, sinister laugh, as if the fruits of victory were already firmly in his grasp and the whole world was at his feet.

Seeing Meichuan Neiku's actions, the viewers in the livestream room sent out worried barrage comments.

“Not good, this Japs has discovered Contestant An Lan's location. The situation is extremely critical!”

“Great God Lu Fan, hurry up! An Lan is about to fall into danger!”

“Ah, damn Meichuan Neiku, don't let him succeed!”

After a brief rest, Lu Fan mounted Lightning once more and continued to gallop toward An Lan's Shelter.

He knew that time was tight; every minute and second concerned An Lan's life and safety, and there could be no delay.

Lightning seemed to sense his master's anxiety and unease, his four hooves galloping with all their might, his speed even faster than before, creating a whistling sound of wind.

Da Hei followed closely behind, his vigorous figure appearing and disappearing in the grass like a black ghost.

【Turn left for 20 kilometers to reach the destination】

As he got closer to An Lan's Shelter, Lu Fan's heart beat faster and faster, as if it were about to jump out of his throat.

His hands tightly gripped Lightning's mane, his knuckles turning white from the force, his gaze fixed firmly ahead, revealing unquestionable determination and courage.

At this moment, An Lan was still in the Shelter, fully concentrated on studying medicinal herbs.

She was completely unaware that danger was approaching step by step, and the shadow of death had quietly descended.

She gently picked up a herb she had just gathered, held it before her eyes, and carefully observed its texture and color, occasionally muttering to herself: “This herb looks somewhat similar to what's recorded in the ancient texts, but not exactly the same. I wonder what its medicinal effects actually are.”

Her eyes sparkled with a thirst for knowledge and a passion for exploration, completely immersed in her own world.

At this time, the viewers in the livestream room were anxious, constantly sending barrage comments.

“An Lan, stop studying! Danger is coming, wake up!”

“Meichuan Neiku is nearby! Hide quickly, find a safe place to tuck yourself away!”

By now, Meichuan Neiku had sneakily arrived a few hundred meters away from An Lan's Shelter.

“Hahaha, I finally found it.” He lowered his voice and laughed triumphantly, his expression twisted and hideous.

He approached cautiously, his eyes alertly observing every movement around him, taking every step with care for fear of making even the slightest sound.

Then, he quietly crouched in a patch of dense grass, plotting a malicious plan. He originally intended to put lethal Pufferfish Poison in An Lan's food while she was out, so she would die of poisoning without even knowing it.

Thinking of this, he pulled out the prepared package of Pufferfish Internal Organs from his bosom, a sinister smile appearing on his face.

“Hmph, once she's poisoned, she'll be at my mercy. Then, I'll force Huaguo to send me supplies and let them know how powerful I am.”

He talked to himself, his eyes gleaming with greed, as if he could already see himself standing before Huaguo, flaunting his power.

In his livestream room, the Japanese viewers were also frantically posting barrage comments.

“Hahaha, the final victory can only belong to my Japan. We are invincible!”

“Good job, Meichuan-kun! You are the bravest warrior of our Great Japanese Empire and our pride!”

Meichuan Neiku kept watch outside An Lan's Shelter, his eyes fixed on that simple yet life-filled little shack.

When An Lan's graceful figure appeared in his field of vision, his gaze instantly became greedy and lewd, and an evil thought surged in his heart.

He had originally only wanted to use Pufferfish Poison to resolve An Lan secretly, but at this moment, seeing An Lan's exquisite face, the evil thoughts in his heart grew stronger. He wanted to subdue her with his bare hands and take her back to torture her properly, as a way to humiliate Huaguo.

“I didn't expect her to be such a beauty. It would be such a waste to just kill her, hahaha.” Meichuan Neiku let out a lewd laugh that made one shudder.

He put away the pufferfish organs and decided to use force to subdue An Lan.

In the livestream room, the viewers were beyond furious.

“Ah, this damn Meichuan Neiku is simply worse than a beast!”

“Great God Lu Fan, please come quickly! It'll be too late if you're any later!”

“An Lan, run! The bad guy is here, be extremely careful!”
