Unseen Danger! The Female Snow Wolf Faces a Formidable Foe!

Although the Ancient Wolf Ancestor before him had already turned to bone and was completely dead, Xu Fan could still sense something from this massive skeleton.

An incredibly intense fury clung to the white bones.

It transformed into a surging tide of killing intent, spreading outward in all directions.

Hard to imagine...

What exactly this Ancient Wolf Ancestor had experienced in life.

That even after its fall, it could not rest in peace.

"But even if that Mysterious Voice calls it the Wolf Ancestor, it's probably Holo's ancestor."

"I wonder if the bloodline talent the voice mentioned has anything to do with this Wolf Ancestor."

Thinking this, Xu Fan couldn't help but glance at the Female Snow Wolf in his arms.

However...

Even though the tremors had completely stopped, the Female Snow Wolf still hadn't recovered from its stress response.

At this moment, it still bared its sharp fangs, staring ahead as if on guard against something.

Not only that, but even the Female Snow Wolf's limbs were trembling slightly.

Its throat occasionally let out a low, warning "growl."

As if signaling danger.

Seeing this, Xu Fan simply set the Female Snow Wolf down on the ground.

The result...

The Female Snow Wolf actually took two steps back.

Xu Fan furrowed his brow and used Observation Haki to listen to the sounds around him.

Suddenly, Xu Fan discovered there was another kind of aura nearby.

It was something only living creatures possessed.

It was just that the Ancient Wolf Ancestor's fury was so overwhelming it had masked the presence of these living things.

"So many."

Xu Fan thought to himself.

Through the perception of Observation Haki.

The creatures ahead numbered in the hundreds or thousands.

Dense and packed.

Crouching beneath the white bones.

It was these fellows that made the Female Snow Wolf so wary.

After all, the Female Snow Wolf was a canine, with a sense of smell and hearing far surpassing a human's.

Even without seeing their figures.

It had keenly detected these creatures.

And...

It was as if facing a great enemy!

The Female Snow Wolf's limbs trembled, its teeth bared.

If not for Xu Fan standing there, it would have long since turned and fled this place.

To put it bluntly...

If it were a contestant from any other country, seeing such a formation, they would probably have been scared into turning and running.

Yet Xu Fan not only had no intention of fleeing.

On the contrary, he was quite eager to meet these living creatures.

Although these fellows weren't very large in size, they were numerous, so they should be a clan.

And within a clan, there was bound to be a leader.

Perhaps similar to the Snow Wolf King.

As long as he eliminated the leader, he could get a Treasure Chest.

With good luck, there might even be some unexpected gains.

Most importantly...

Although Xu Fan was cautious by nature, he was equally confident in his own strength!

And so...

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Xu Fan slowly took a step forward.

Walking toward the direction where the Female Snow Wolf faced its great enemy.

This sudden turn of events left the Female Snow Wolf frozen in place.

Her eyes were filled with shock.

She had never imagined that Xu Fan would willingly walk toward danger!

In that moment, the Female Snow Wolf's mind raced at full speed.

Should she...

flee?

From the territory ahead, she sensed an intense danger—an instinct born from her nature as a Forbidden Land beast.

Through various actions, she had warned Xu Fan.

But it was completely useless.

So what should she do?

Leave Xu Fan?

But...

Xu Fan not only had delicious meat.

The fresh water he carried was also very sweet.

And because they had traveled a long distance to get here, the Female Snow Wolf felt a bit parched.

Her stomach was also empty.

Under these circumstances, returning alone to her original territory was clearly unsafe.

While the Female Snow Wolf weighed her options, Xu Fan had already walked twenty or thirty meters ahead, gradually entering the territory of those creatures.

On one side was temporary safety; on the other, tasty grilled meat and sweet fresh water.

After a moment of hesitation, the Female Snow Wolf finally gritted her teeth and quickly caught up to Xu Fan.

Most importantly...

if Xu Fan hadn't grabbed her in time just now, she would probably be lying here, sleeping forever alongside that skeleton!

She wanted to...

repay this debt of gratitude.

Meanwhile, the host and guests in the livestream room were also stunned.

Because anyone could see that the Female Snow Wolf's eyes were full of fear.

She even stopped once, unwilling to go forward.

But in the end, she still took steps and chased after Xu Fan.

"Incredible. This Female Snow Wolf is clearly terrified, yet she still didn't abandon Xu Fan. This is enough to show that she already sees him as her companion,"

Brother Qiang began to explain. "This is also a trait unique to wolves."

"Once they consider you a companion, no matter how dangerous the situation, they won't abandon you to flee alone."

In fact, it's precisely because wolves are such united animals

that they are worshipped by humans.

Some tribes even regard wolves as totem gods.

"But Xu Fan only met Holo last night, right? In such a short time, he's already tamed her to this extent—that's way too impressive."

Host Xiao Ying couldn't help but exclaim.

But...

Xiao Ying's heart quickly grew worried.

After all, Holo was no ordinary snow wolf; her danger level reached D-rank, on par with the Snow Wolf King.

For her to be this tense

meant the danger ahead was extreme.

Perhaps...

an even stronger beast was hiding there!

Better safe than sorry.

"Xu Fan has no need to put himself in danger."

"At this point, listening to the Female Snow Wolf's warning and choosing a safe path would be the wisest move."

Writer Yuanyuan couldn't help but speak.

Even though the show's staff had warned her beforehand, watching contestant Xu Fan's reckless behavior stirred deep displeasure within her.

"No matter how you look at it, contestant Xu Fan is tied to our nation."

"If anything happens to him, the consequences would be unthinkable."

"Yet he still puts himself in danger."

"This is nothing short of irresponsible."

"To both the country and himself."

Yuanyuan blurted out her thoughts in one breath.

But the moment she finished, Chen Warrior King immediately objected. "I don't think so."

"If it weren't for contestant Xu Fan's outstanding performance,"

"we would never have gained such a vast stretch of mountain forest resources."

By now, Chen Warrior King was utterly in awe of Xu Fan's performance.

Because everything Xu Fan had done, he himself had no confidence in accomplishing!

In fact, in Chen Warrior King's view...

Calling contestant Xu Fan a hero of the Yan Kingdom

would not be an exaggeration.

And yet...

She dared to call contestant Xu Fan irresponsible?

Then what counted as responsible?

Was staying put in one place, scraping by day after day, the only definition of responsibility?

However, as Xu Fan pressed deeper...

the livestream screen revealed a hair-raising sight.

Ahead of Xu Fan, the ground was thick with densely packed White Worms.

Each worm was over a meter in length, with blood-red eyeballs that sent chills down the spine...
