Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 314: The Admirers Have Arrived

"Sorry to bother you, we were just passing by, no ill intentions."

A voice emerged from the darkness, and then two shadowy figures appeared.

Two people in fur coats, riding two Black Scale Lions, appeared in front of Lu Ke.

"Oh my god, my male idol actually came to Loli Ke’s place."

"Wow, wow, wow, Team 111 is here, let’s quickly team up with Xu Yi and the others, that’s definitely invincible!"

"Xu Yi, wake up, your admirers are here."

"Haha, Qin Chao surely wouldn’t expect that among his idols, there would be a Loli sister, right?"

"I think Qin Fan would find it unbelievable, considering Xu Yi and Loli Ke are way younger than him."

Qin Fan and Qin Chao are brothers.

Qin Fan is 35 years old, occupation: classified, specialty: combat.

Qin Chao: 18, occupation: military academy student, specialty: intelligence analysis.

However, the two brothers hardly resemble each other, with Qin Chao being extremely handsome, like a young star from the film industry, while Qin Fan is very ordinary and wouldn’t catch your eye on the street, very much a background person.

One could say Qin Fan has a very low presence.

Qin Fan’s combat skills are indeed very strong. In their team, Qin Chao had little chance to act because Qin Fan liked to take the lead, often engaged in close combat with daggers.

Qin Chao’s archery is extremely impressive and is considered the best among the 500 teams, always hitting the mark, never missing.

Their popularity is second only to Xu Yi and Lu Ke’s team.

Juhar growled lowly, seemingly warning the two Black Scale Lions not to come closer.

Lu Ke scratched Juhar’s neck and comforted him, "Steady, don’t be afraid."

Juhar calmed down but remained vigilant.

Qin Fan nodded at Lu Ke and then jumped off the Black Scale Lion.

He glanced at Juhar, then turned his head to look at his brother.

Qin Chao was clearly surprised, thinking he must be the youngest challenger since he had just turned 18 the day before the registration.

Yet, he saw Lu Ke, who looked much younger than him.

Qin Chao also dismounted from the Black Scale Lion, gave Lu Ke a smile as a greeting.

Then, they didn’t bother tying the Black Scale Lions but headed towards the stream, seemingly to get some ice for boiling water.

At this moment, Juhar suddenly roared, appearing as if it was about to pounce.

The meditating Xu Yi immediately halted his meditation, grabbed his machete, and rushed out.

Black Scale Lions?

Xu Yi took a glance, then leaped down, ready to attack the Black Scale Lions.

"No!" Lu Ke shouted immediately upon seeing Xu Yi jump down.

Xu Yi quickly held back his machete and stepped back.

The Black Scale Lions were still covered in fur and hadn’t attacked Xu Yi.

Mounts?

Now that’s impressive, even better than taming them with skills?

"What’s going on, did other team members show up?" Xu Yi asked Lu Ke since he hadn’t seen anyone.

"Yes, they might have left to fetch ice for boiling water," Lu Ke explained, pointing out it was relatively safe since they couldn’t attack each other yet.

Xu Yi nodded, went inside to pat Juhar.

At least not as nervous as before.

After a while, Qin Fan and Qin Chao returned with blocks of ice.

As Lu Ke had guessed, they were indeed breaking ice for boiling water.

Xu Yi noticed they were also wearing Black Scale Soft Armor, albeit in a rougher style.

"Sorry to bother you." Saying so, they headed into the forest.

The two Black Scale Lions swished their tails and followed.

Xu Yi looked on, smirking to himself.

These two people, could they be cheats?

Or else, how could they tame Black Scale Lions like this?

Actually, Xu Yi didn’t know that in front of the Black Scale Lions, Qin Fan had slaughtered six of them, scaring the courage out of them completely.

After some training by Qin Fan, they became this tame.

These two Black Scale Lions had completely lost their ferocity, so they didn’t attack Xu Yi.

As for the two who suddenly appeared and quickly left, Xu Yi was somewhat puzzled.

Moreover, they hadn’t gone far, having started a fire just twenty meters away under a tree.

Obviously, they had chosen that spot earlier and prepared some firewood there.

"Want to go over and chat?" Lu Ke asked, considering they spoke Huaxia language, they were from the same country.

"You take Juhar upstairs to rest first, I’ll go over once I put on my armor." He took off his fur coat, donned his Black Scale Soft Armor, then put the coat back on.

Carrying his machete, Xu Yi headed out of the house.

Lu Ke led Juhar, allowing him to climb the ladder.

For now, things were relatively safe, so Lu Ke wasn’t worried about Xu Yi clashing with the other team.

"Chat?" Xu Yi walked over and asked directly.

After all, the teams that linger outside at night have good strength, so it’s worth getting to know them.

Although the organizer said three teams could collaborate after a hundred days, it wasn’t stated that teams were inherently hostile to each other. So, cooperation might still be possible in the future.

Even if it’s adversarial, you can still gauge their capabilities.

Knowing yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles, a hundred victories, it holds truth.

"Okay, I thought you weren’t interested in us. I’m Qin Fan, this is my brother Qin Chao." Qin Fan took off his hat and extended his hand to Xu Yi.

For Qin Fan, any team that survived until now had potential for collaboration; they were worth getting in touch with. Especially challengers from Huaxia, even more so.

In the future, there might be significant conflicts between challengers from different countries.

"I’m Xu Yi, my partner is Lu Ke, nice to meet a fellow countryman here." Xu Yi smiled as he shook Qin Fan’s hand, noticing calluses all over Qin Fan’s hands.

Even the thumb base was calloused.

According to some books, this might be due to frequent gun practice.

So Xu Yi couldn’t help but ask: "Military?"

"Yes, what about you?" Qin Fan admitted directly, giving Xu Yi a glance.

"Me, I’m a delivery guy. Lu Yao from Team 52 is also military, do you know her?" Xu Yi asked casually, feeling like it’d be unlikely for Qin Fan to know, just trying to build rapport.

"I’m aware, but she doesn’t know me. Her unit is excellent, and she’s quite strong." Qin Fan’s eyes lit up, and he happily said.

He knew all the names of the national military personnel but not their team numbers. The numbers were assigned based on the order they crossed the Star Gate.

Now that he knew Lu Yao’s number, he was naturally delighted.

It meant they could potentially cooperate with Lu Yao.
