The Fried Fish Country Contestant's Supplies Are Mine!

The snow gleamed brightly beneath the sunlight, and nothing out of the ordinary could escape Xu Fan's notice.

Especially not a flash of crimson.

It stood out all the more starkly against the snow.

"Is that... a contestant from another country?"

Xu Fan narrowed his eyes and stared ahead.

Less than fifty meters away, six Snow Wolves had gathered around a contestant's corpse, viciously tearing into it.

Blood flowed freely, staining the snow red.

The contestant's limbs had been scattered by the tearing, while his facial features had been gnawed into a twisted mess.

No one could remain unmoved upon seeing such a bloody scene.

Xu Fan was no exception.

Yet aside from the contestant's body, there were also Snow Wolf corpses on the ground. The surviving wolves bore injuries of varying severity as well.

It looked like they had been inflicted during the Fried Fish Country contestant's desperate final struggle.

"No offense."

However, Xu Fan did not back down in the face of difficulty.

For one thing, following these Snow Wolves was the fastest way to find water.

For another...

Beside the contestant who had been torn to pieces lay a colorful backpack that caught Xu Fan's attention.

Judging by its appearance, it was a Marching Backpack with a capacity of over seventy liters.

It was stuffed full.

Clearly, this contestant had come thoroughly prepared for entering the Forbidden Land.

The Snow Wolves, meanwhile, cared only about his flesh and blood.

With that in mind, Xu Fan began walking straight toward the backpack, once again giving off the aura of a strong man.

It was worth mentioning that the Sentinel Wolf Xu Fan had frightened earlier was among them.

The Snow Wolves stopped feeding one after another and turned to look at Xu Fan.

The two sides faced off.

Every Snow Wolf bared its fangs, its face ferocious. The human blood at the corners of their mouths only made them appear more savage.

The comments in the Live Stream Room instantly exploded.

No one had expected Xu Fan to run into Snow Wolves again.

And this time, there were six of them.

"That guy must be the Fried Fish Country contestant, the first contestant to die in the Forbidden Land. Brother Xu Fan, Dad Xu Fan, don't go any farther!"

"Run, please! You might have scared off one Snow Wolf, but this is a whole pack!"

The viewers in the Live Stream Room began to worry.

In their eyes, Xu Fan's best choice right now was to slip away before the pack noticed him.

But who would have thought that not only did Xu Fan not turn around and flee, he instead pressed forward step by step.

"This guy thinks he's invincible just because he scared one Snow Wolf?"

"The Yan Kingdom contestant is probably about to become the second person to die in the Forbidden Land."

"Where did he get the courage not to run from this?"

"Maybe this is what Yan Kingdom always calls the fearless ignorance of the uninformed!"

Foreign viewers began mocking him again, as though Xu Fan's death this time was inevitable.

Yet Xu Fan remained calm and unhurried inside the Forbidden Land.

Although he did not want to reveal himself too early, for the sake of that Marching Backpack, Xu Fan could only use part of his strength.

Xu Fan clenched both fists, and a powerful aura burst forth.

It swept toward the wolf pack like an overwhelming tide.

Majesty Descends!

The Snow Wolves' eyes widened at once as they stared at Xu Fan in disbelief.

Their hearts were shaken to the core.

The feeling Xu Fan gave them was no weaker than the king of their species.

The remaining Snow Wolves had already sustained injuries to varying degrees, and their nerves were stretched to the limit.

Xu Fan's aura instantly became the final straw crushing them.

Thud!

Thud!

The Snow Wolves collapsed one after another.

When the Sentinel Wolf saw its companions fall one by one, terror filled it once more, and it turned to flee again.

"Have I reached my limit?"

Xu Fan murmured to himself.

In truth, the aura Xu Fan had released was similar to a simplified version of Conqueror's Haki.

Its presence was not as domineering or powerful as Conqueror's Haki.

But it was enough to deal a psychological blow to the weak.

Though these Snow Wolves had narrowly won, they were like frightened birds. They simply could not withstand Xu Fan's aura.

As for why he had not used Conqueror's Haki directly...

That was because...

Once he used true Conqueror's Haki, it would release visible currents of air that battered its targets' minds.

It would look like a superpower.

"And in this Forbidden Land..."

Xu Fan slowly approached the backpack while looking around.

"If those Snow Wolves were on Blue Star, they would definitely rank among the more formidable ferocious beasts. Yet here in the Forbidden Land, they are only the lowest E+-Rank."

"What could B-Rank, A-Rank, or even higher-ranked Forbidden Land creatures possibly be?"

"If I rashly use Conqueror's Haki, I wonder whether it will directly alert those A-Rank creatures."

"Although I am already strong with thirty percent of Whitebeard's template, what if this Forbidden Land contains creatures even more absurd than Kaido?"

No matter what, he knew far too little about this Forbidden Land.

Throwing out his trump card before he had figured out his surroundings would undoubtedly be foolish.

Before long, Xu Fan reached the backpack, quickly unzipped it, and began checking his haul item by item.

"Thirty cans of meat."

"Fifty packs of compressed biscuits."

"Twenty bottles of mineral water."

"One set of mountaineering clothes."

"And..."

Although the Fried Fish Country contestant had been the first to die in the Forbidden Land, he had prepared quite adequately.

With proper planning, there would be no need to worry about food for quite some time.

His weapons, however, were rather ordinary.

"A Machete?" Xu Fan picked up the weapon lying on the ground and swung it twice through the air.

"About one and a half feet long, with a straight back and straight blade. It weighs roughly seven or eight hundred grams."

Xu Fan murmured to himself.

But Machetes were generally used to cut through vines and bushes and clear a path.

Their practical combat effectiveness, especially when fighting wild beasts, was rather mediocre.

It was not as satisfying as the Yan Kingdom's Anti-Japanese Broadsword.

Still, it was better than nothing.

At the same time, Xu Fan found the firearm the Fried Fish Country contestant had brought.

Unfortunately, all of its bullets had been fired during the contestant's fight with the Snow Wolves.

"Although I don't know your name, I did take your things..."

Xu Fan then took all of the contestant's supplies. Enduring the pungent smell of blood, he pieced together the scattered remains as best he could and covered them with snow.

At least he could rest in peace.

As for the remaining Snow Wolves, Xu Fan finished them off one by one. Then he skinned them, pulled out several sharp wolf fangs, gave them a simple rinse with snow, and stuffed them into a compartment of the backpack. He changed into the mountaineering clothes himself.

"Mm, much warmer."

After all, he was exploring the Forbidden Land.

Things like these might come in handy at any time.

Meanwhile, the Guest commentators and viewers in the Live Stream Room were all dumbfounded.

No one had expected things to end like this!

"Contestant Xu Fan really is... ruthless and a man of few words."
