What Kind of Wolf Do You Call This?

Seeing Xu Fan continue deeper into the Mountain Forest, the officials finally could no longer sit still.

If Xu Fan had been carrying modern weapons, he might still have had the means to fight.

But the only weapon in his hand was a long blade made by tying a wooden stick to a machete.

Forget dealing with the ferocious beasts in the Forbidden Land.

It would be difficult for it to be effective even against an ordinary soldier.

Not to mention...

As the contestants spent longer and longer in the Forbidden Land...

People had gained a certain understanding of the ferocious beasts within it.

Xu Fan's reckless decision was undoubtedly gambling the lives of ten million people on a highly unlikely possibility!

Soon...

The officials contacted Xu Fan.

Inside the Forbidden Land.

The phone in Xu Fan's pocket began to ring.

"Hm?"

Xu Fan frowned slightly and hurriedly took out his phone.

When he had first entered the Forbidden Land, he had taken out his phone before.

There had been neither internet nor signal.

So he was rather surprised that a call was coming through now.

Xu Fan pressed the answer button. "Hello."

Considering that they only had one minute to speak, the officials had prepared their words before making the call.

They wanted Xu Fan to understand.

Compared to the resources of the Forbidden Land, they valued the lives of those ten million people more.

Since there was no absolute certainty of obtaining resources...

It would be better to leave this place quickly.

And stay away from danger.

On one hand, Yan Kingdom was currently discussing with other countries how to cooperate.

On the other hand, new contestants would enter the Forbidden Land next week.

Xu Fan was not fighting alone.

There was no need for him to take such a risk just to prove himself.

Thus...

The officials gave Xu Fan advice from professionals.

With the supplies on him, Xu Fan could hold out for half a month without any problem.

The best course of action for him now was to bypass the Mountain Forest and stay away from the wolf pack.

Soon, the one-minute call ended.

A busy signal came from Xu Fan's phone.

Xu Fan could actually understand the officials' concerns.

However, there was one thing...

That the officials did not know.

At this moment, Xu Fan had enough confidence to deal with the Lord of this Mountain Forest!

After all, he had unlocked thirty percent of Whitebeard's power.

And after seeing the officials speak with Xu Fan, the viewers in the Live Stream Room also breathed sighs of relief.

"The officials contacted him just in time. Honestly, our contestant Xu Fan has already done very well. There's no need to show off at this point. Staying alive is what matters most."

"The person above is right. As long as you're alive, there are endless possibilities. Sometimes, taking a step back really opens up the world!"

"More contestants will definitely enter the Forbidden Land in the future. There's no need to rush. Once there are more people, it won't be too late to explore the Forbidden Land slowly."

The viewers in the Live Stream Room all chimed in, believing that Xu Fan should play it safer now.

But who would have thought...

After putting his phone back into his pocket, Xu Fan did not leave the area. Instead, he continued deeper into the Mountain Forest.

The Wolf Tracks beneath his feet were clearly visible.

"Brother Xu Fan, Father Xu Fan, why are you still going forward?!"

"It's not safe there! Take another route!"

Seeing that Xu Fan had not changed his mind, the viewers in the Live Stream Room panicked once again.

No one knew what kind of ferocious beasts were hiding in this Mountain Forest.

And the unknown was often the root of fear.

For a moment, many viewers held their breaths, their hearts pounding as though they themselves were the ones in the Forbidden Land.

At the slightest rustle nearby, even before anything happened to Xu Fan, these viewers would already be scared half to death.

Some viewers even dared not look at the screen at all, turning their eyes away and relying only on sound to sense what was happening in the Forbidden Land.

Xu Fan, on the other hand, continued onward with complete ease.

He looked less like someone exploring the Forbidden Land and more like someone out on a picnic.

Perhaps because of Xu Fan's demeanor, the host Xiao Ying instead felt strangely reassured.

"Brother Xu Fan hasn't moved away from those Wolf Tracks. He's continuing forward instead. Could it be that Brother Xu Fan is completely confident that he can deal with those ferocious beasts?"

In order to calm the viewers, host Xiao Ying could only steer the conversation toward Brother Qiang beside her.

"Honestly, if I switched places with contestant Xu Fan, I'd probably only have one thought right now." Brother Qiang could not help but smile bitterly.

"What thought?" Host Xiao Ying asked cooperatively.

"I'd hope my parents gave me an extra pair of legs, haha. Just kidding."

Brother Qiang seemed to be joking around, but he was actually trying to adjust his own mindset.

After all, every move Xu Fan made was tied to the fate of Yan Kingdom.

As a citizen of Yan Kingdom, he was naturally nervous.

Even his palms were slick with sweat.

"Everyone thinks contestant Xu Fan should stay away from those Wolf Tracks because that would be safer, but the question is... is that really true?"

"You have to know, the contestants from other countries are far away from Xu Fan's location, right? Are they safe? No!"

"Since there isn't a single safe place in the Forbidden Land, why not choose an enemy you're familiar with and strike first?"

"I think that's probably what Xu Fan is thinking!"

After Brother Qiang's reminder, everyone suddenly understood.

That was right.

Since nowhere in the Forbidden Land was safe...

What difference did it make where Xu Fan went?

Perhaps after leaving the wolf pack behind, he would encounter even more terrifying ferocious beasts.

"Brother Qiang is right." Warrior King beside him affirmed that view.

"And I also think contestant Xu Fan's choice is not a problem."

"On the contrary, I think even more highly of contestant Xu Fan now."

"We are merely spectators, worrying about contestant Xu Fan through empathy. We cannot possibly understand the pressure he is under right now."

"I even think the pressure he is under is probably a hundred times greater than we imagine!"

"Yet even under such immense pressure, contestant Xu Fan can remain calm and stick firmly to his plan."

"This may be his greatest advantage!"

"Once someone panics and becomes afraid, their brain can no longer think normally, and it will start giving all kinds of wrong commands!"

Although Warrior King rarely joined the conversation, every time he spoke, he struck straight at the heart of the matter.

Instead, he had become the Guest best able to steady people's nerves.

But in truth...

Warrior King was only trying to calm everyone down.

Even he had begun to doubt Xu Fan.

"No way, no way, does anyone really think contestant Xu Fan can still stay calm? Maybe he's already stunned silly and didn't hear the warning at all!"

"You people from Yan Kingdom should just accept your fate. Do you really think having a weapon makes you invincible? Once he runs into a wolf pack, your country's contestant won't even know how he died!"

"Exactly! Have you forgotten how the contestant from Zhayu Kingdom died? Even having a gun did him no good, much less your contestant!"

"Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Do you really think contestant Xu Fan is a god? He's only been a little lucky. Once that luck runs out, he won't be far from death!"

Viewers from Neon Nation flooded the chat with comments again.

They waited to see Yan Kingdom make a fool of itself.

In their eyes, Xu Fan was simply courting death by following the Wolf Tracks.

He was beyond saving.

"Where are the mods? Why haven't they come out and banned them? They're dragging their feet like old women!"

"Can't be helped. Too many Japanese brats have come in, and the mods can't ban them all!"

"Holy crap, look at the bottom right corner! What is that?!"

Just as Yan Kingdom and Neon Nation began another round of long-distance verbal sparring, a sharp-eyed viewer noticed something unusual on the screen.

At the bottom right corner of the Live Stream Room, beside a Cypress Tree, a blood-red eye was exposed, staring fixedly at Xu Fan.

At the same time, as Xu Fan drew closer, the image became clearer and clearer.

In fact, it was not only in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Behind nearly every Pine and Cypress tree, there was a pair of eyes staring fixedly at Xu Fan.

"Look ahead of contestant Xu Fan!"

"Oh my god, what is that thing? Why is it so huge?!"

"Holy crap, Father Xu Fan, what are you standing there for? Run!"

A flood of comments swept across the screen.

Directly ahead of Xu Fan, an enormous shadow was closing in on him.

It stood over three meters tall.

Its eyes were as large as volleyballs, glaring fiercely at Xu Fan.

Almost everyone who witnessed this scene became certain.

The enormous creature before them was definitely the Lord of this Mountain Forest!

[Yan Kingdom contestant Xu Fan has discovered a Forbidden Land creature!]

[Name: Snow Wolf King!]

[Danger Level: D+-Rank. A carnivorous creature of the Forbidden Land, five meters long, and the leader of the Snow Wolf pack!]
