Chapter 4: Black Shadow

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Everyone in the livestream shifted their gazes to the upper right corner.

“!!!!”

“What is that! What did I see! A wild beast?”

“Why has he encountered a wild beast so quickly? Isn’t it too early?”

Everyone’s landing spots were in a safe area.

As long as one does not seek death himself and head into the depths of the island which was extremely dangerous, he would not be in trouble.

But what was going on now? He had encountered a wild beast right at the beginning?

The people in the comments went crazy!

“My David, will you be alright?”

“I’m going to cry. Why is there a beast? So early?”

“He’s so skinny, how can he be a match for wild beasts?”

“Sob, sob, he won’t die here, right?”

“Who said that the organizers opened the back door for him on purpose? Is this opening the back door? Would they send a person to the beasts?”

At Wade’s words, Ally also looked to the right and saw a black shadow.

As for what it was, none of them saw it clearly. They all guessed that it was a wild beast.

Seeing the shadow, Ally was shocked too. “Why is there a beast?”

Wade quickly calmed down. “It’s probably here to look for a water source too. They just happened to bump into each other.”

“So what do we do?” Ally was already panicking. After watching David for so long, she had developed a mild affection for him.

She hoped he would be able to continue living like before and successfully complete 100 days.

Little did she know that the most successful person would encounter the most dangerous situation at this moment.

Wade shook his head. “There are two paths in front of him right now. The first is to leave quietly before the beast discovers him, but we all know that animals are more sensitive than us humans. They can detect any problems with the slightest movement, so his chances are not very high. The second is that he remains still, the beast happens to be blind and doesn’t discover his presence.”

“This…” Ally was stunned. Either way, he was in great danger.

The livestream also exploded.

“Mr. Wade is really humorous. Isn’t it more direct to say that there’s no hope for him and he should just wait for death?”

“Haha, Mr. Wade also has to consider the feelings of the fans.”

“Why haven’t the Internet gurus appeared when we’ve encountered such a situation? Where’s your slide and your shovel[1.Referring to Chinese joke where a man claims to have killed a tiger by sliding beneath its belly and slicing it open using a shovel]?”

David didn’t know that his present predicament was tugging at the heartstrings of hundreds of thousands of people.

Initially, they had no interest in him and suspected that he was a spy from the organizers. But now, they no longer dared to comment carelessly.

After all, no one would joke about his own life.

Many people wanted to know if he could escape this ordeal.

The content of the past hundred episodes were not as intense as that of today’s episode.

After all, the audience could see it very clearly. David could be said to have started the game with an ace card. He had food, lodging, as well as more food in storage .

At least for the next two days, he need not worry about food.

But now, a dangerous beast had arrived.

One could only imagine how indignant if he were to end up failing at this point.

At this moment, David also noticed the shadow on his right.

He was stunned. A chill ran down his spine and his hair stood on end.

What was going on?

I had just found a water source and there were already other creatures?

It looked as big as a potted plant and was not much shorter than him.

He did not dare to move at all as he remained rooted in his spot and stared fixedly at it.

Adrenaline was pumping through his veins, and his brain was running.

If it is a ferocious beast, what should I do next?

After thinking about it, he only thought of one result—wait for death.

Wade saw what he was doing and revealed an “as I expected” look. “It seems like he’s taking the second plan that I mentioned. Let’s just hope the beast is blind.”

Ally clenched her hands together, her entire body tense. “I’m so nervous right now. I don’t want anything to happen to him. I hope he can live.”

“Ally baby, I hope he lives too.”

“If he dies, I’ll jump down with him. My depression won’t get any better anyway.”

“Who can save him? Someone please come.”

It was only the first day, and there were already 10 million viewers watching the main livestream.

Many people were watching the scene on the screen. This scene was gripping the hearts of millions of people.

Some people wanted to see blood, they wanted to see the scene of ferocious beasts attacking. This was also one of the most important selling points of this show.

Blood and violence.

Some people hoped that the participants could live safe and sound and conquer the animals and nature.

Some people already regarded David as their idol and didn’t want their idol to die so early.

“If he survives, I’ll give him an aircraft carrier.”

An aircraft carrier was a gift worth $100,000. It was the most expensive gift on the livestream platform.

“Me too.”

“Me too.”

Just when everyone was extremely nervous, David, who had not taken any action, suddenly moved.

David had pondered for a long time. It could be said that there was nothing he could do.

Besides, the other party was also slowly approaching the water source. It wouldn’t be long before it discovered his existence.

If this went on, he would die sooner or later. He did not want to die so cowardly.

He might as well find a weapon and fight it directly. At least, he would have done his best.

Even if he were to die, he had to die gloriously. He had to die without regrets.

Once he moved, Wade closed his eyes and shook his head in disappointment. “I thought he’d choose the wisest path that I’d said. I can’t believe he actually chose to run.”

“All animals have extremely strong desires to challenge. The faster a person moves, the more aggressive they become.”

“He’s still too young and impatient. He could not hold back.”

Ally couldn’t help but tremble all over. She closed her eyes in fear.

She did not dare to look at the bloody scene.

When the people in the livestream heard Wade’s words, they also began to flood the comments.

“Haha, didn’t I say that this person is crazy? He was merely lucky earlier, and now he has already started to send himself to his doom.”

“He clearly did as Lord De said and nothing happened, yet he insists on acting smart.”

“He’s hopeless. Next.”

Just when a lot of people thought that there was nothing else to watch for, they saw David rush to the front and pick up a wooden club from the ground.

The wooden club was as thick as an arm. The front was cracked open, making it look like a spear.

Instead of running away as Wade had said, he picked up the wooden club and rushed towards the silhouette.

He looked extremely focused!

When the people in the livestream realized what he was doing, they were utterly shocked.

“No way? No way? He’s not running away?”

“What is he trying to do? Is he trying to kill the beast?”

“Is he crazy? Who can he kill with that frail body?”

“This is simply courting death!”

“Don’t you think his death would be very heroic?”

“A dead man, heroic my ass!”
