After finishing the barbecue, Xu Fan and the Female Snow Wolf began to rest.
Naturally, there wasn't much progress in the livestream content.
Many viewers took this opportunity to wash up and go to sleep.
Host Bingbing and the guests started discussing their views on the Forbidden Land, as well as future prospects and upcoming international changes.
Before they knew it, the moon set and the sun rose.
Host Bingbing and the guests wrapped up a night's work.
Meanwhile, host Xiao Ying, Warrior King, Brother Qiang, and the others entered the livestream after breakfast.
Worth mentioning...
Among them, guest Yuan Yuan received an official warning.
She was told to watch her words during the livestream.
Although Yuan Yuan often hit the nail on the head when pointing out problems, aside from causing unnecessary panic, it didn't do much good.
"Hello everyone, I'm host Xiao Ying. A new day has arrived, and I wonder how our contestant Xu Fan..."
Xiao Ying began her opening remarks as usual.
But a scene in the livestream made her eyes go wide.
There, lying right beside Xu Fan, was a Female Snow Wolf!
Because it had been staying perfectly still, Xiao Ying hadn't noticed it at first.
Now the Female Snow Wolf slowly lifted its head and let out a big yawn.
What was going on?
Why was there a beast beside contestant Xu Fan?
Xiao Ying's mind went blank in an instant.
This was definitely a major crisis!
In reality, during yesterday's work, Xiao Ying and the guests had remained in a state of high tension.
Exhausted in both body and mind.
As soon as the livestream ended, they washed up and went to sleep.
They had no knowledge of what happened afterward.
Now seeing the Female Snow Wolf, she instinctively broke out in a cold sweat for Xu Fan.
"What the hell is going on?" Brother Qiang blinked hard, seriously wondering if he was hallucinating.
What baffled him the most was...
This Female Snow Wolf didn't seem hostile toward contestant Xu Fan.
After yawning, the Female Snow Wolf quickly stood up and shook itself.
Then it lowered its head and gently licked Xu Fan's palm with its tongue.
It looked more like a husky waking up its owner!
This vibe was all wrong!
Aren't the beasts in the Forbidden Land supposed to be ferocious?
"So, what exactly happened last night?" Brother Qiang couldn't help asking the other guests, hoping someone could explain.
But everyone had gone to bed early last night.
They knew nothing about the Female Snow Wolf.
For a moment, they had no choice but to scan the barrage.
"Hahaha, Xiao Ying's wife looks so cute with that blank expression!"
"I'm in the same state. Can someone explain what happened? I've been working overtime these past few days and went to bed early, didn't stay up till the end."
"That Female Snow Wolf is called Holo. Xu Fan tamed her with barbecue yesterday. Unbelievable, right?"
"Not only that, but that Female Snow Wolf's danger level is D-Rank. She's absolutely a fierce and brutal beast!"
A flood of comments scrolled by, educating the hosts and guests.
As the sky grew brighter, more and more viewers poured into the livestream.
"A, a D-Rank beast? Contestant Xu Fan tamed a D-Rank beast with barbecue?" Host Xiao Ying was still confused.
"The Snow Wolf King we encountered yesterday seemed to be D-Rank too."
"But its body was much bigger than the Female Snow Wolf's."
Xiao Ying looked closely and could still see the Snow Wolf King's corpse.
Comparing the big and the small, the Female Snow Wolf looked like a juvenile.
Yet its danger level was extremely high.
Moreover, the official announcement also stated that this Female Snow Wolf possessed a special bloodline.
"Our contestant actually managed to tame the Female Snow Wolf to this extent in just one night—it's truly unbelievable."
Brother Qiang couldn't help but sigh.
As a host of a wilderness survival livestream, he knew all too well how terrifying the beasts in the jungle could be.
Forget about trying to tame one.
He would consider himself lucky if the beast didn't try to fight him to the death.
If someone had told him they wanted to tame a wild beast in the wilderness, he would have thought they were insane!
Yet Xu Fan not only attempted it but succeeded!
He didn't know whether to call it exceptional skill and boldness, or a destiny beyond the ordinary.
After all, the ferocious beasts in the Forbidden Land were far more terrifying than any he had encountered before.
"Could it be that contestant Xu Fan has experience in taming beasts?"
Just as the production team was reeling in shock over this matter, Xu Fan in the Forbidden Land slowly opened his eyes.
He stretched lazily.
The blanket stitched together from Snow Wolf King fur and wolf hide provided excellent insulation against the cold.
He had rested fairly well.
But...
"In the Forbidden Land, there's no way to wash up."
Xu Fan cleared his mind a bit and couldn't help grumbling.
The Zhayu Kingdom contestants had only prepared rations, fresh water, and weapons.
Things like shampoo, facial cleanser, toothbrushes, and toothpaste—
he hadn't brought any of them.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, Xu Fan noticed the Female Snow Wolf, Holo, sitting upright beside him.
When she saw he was awake, she glanced toward the pile of firewood.
Her gaze shifted back and forth.
It seemed as if she was asking Xu Fan for food.
After all, even without seasoning, cooked meat was far better than raw.
And safer, too.
"That's right, I need to fill my stomach as well."
Xu Fan said with a smile, then set to work.
He had originally wondered whether the Female Snow Wolf would disappear when he woke up, each going their separate ways.
But now, it seemed she truly intended to travel with him.
"I need to replenish my fresh water."
After a night's rest, Xu Fan felt a bit parched.
He muttered to himself, took out a bottle of mineral water, and poured it into the Treasure Chest he had obtained earlier.
Although the chest was made of wood, it was well-sealed.
It could easily serve as a water basin.
After pouring the water, Xu Fan pushed it directly in front of the Female Snow Wolf.
The Female Snow Wolf hesitated for half a second, then extended her tongue and lapped the water into her mouth.
Xu Fan also replenished his own fresh water.
Then he took the wolf meat that had been smoked overnight and tied it to one end of his long blade.
This way, it would ventilate well, allowing the moisture inside the meat to fully evaporate.
It was a method of making jerky.
After all, wolf meat had a decent texture—far better than canned fish—and it would be a shame to throw it all away.
So Xu Fan specifically selected the best parts of the meat, cut off over twenty catties, and turned them into jerky.
That way, he wouldn't have to worry about food for the rest of the journey.
"But..."
Xu Fan turned to look at the Female Snow Wolf on the ground. "Do you really want to come with me?"
"I can't stay in one place. This journey might be very hard."
Xu Fan didn't know if the Female Snow Wolf could understand what he was saying.
But he still gave her a choice.
"Owww!"
The Female Snow Wolf let out a soft whine and rubbed her forehead against Xu Fan's pants.
As if she didn't want to leave him.
For a moment, all the viewers were stunned.
