Chapter 107

Yet despite his resentment, Wu En could only watch helplessly as the damned wolves came to feast on his food.

The will to live suppressed Wu En’s impulse to confront the wolf pack.

In his agitation, Wu En accidentally snapped a branch, causing his furious, resentful expression to freeze—suddenly tense.

“…”

“…”

“Howl!”

“Howl!”

The four wolves, hearing the disturbance, naturally turned their gaze toward Wu En.

Wu En then awkwardly met their stares, his eyes radiating pure goodwill.

“Gentlemen, I’m just passing through—please, carry on!”

Upon seeing Wu En standing at a distance, the four wolves growled warningly.

They cared nothing for his goodwill; their voices were clear warnings to keep away.

If food were scarce, the hungry wolves might very well see Wu En as prey.

Wu En, weakened as he was, was no match for these four wolves. Honestly, he should be grateful the camel meat saved his life.

After all, when a wolf pack is full, it does not actively provoke or attack humans.

In their minds, humans are synonymous with danger.

Wu En, well aware of wolf behavior, knew he should retreat now.

At this moment, the pack was merely on guard, issuing warnings.

But if Wu En refused to leave, they would interpret it as provocation—and strike without hesitation.

“How I resent this!”

Watching this scene, Wu En fumed inwardly.

If—Wu En said if—his body were at its peak condition right now…

Then he, Wu En, would never have retreated so easily just because of four wolves.

He glanced once more at the camel meat surrounded by the wolves, then obediently headed back to his camp.

Yet for Wu En, though he’d lost much camel meat, today wasn’t entirely without gain.

Given wolves’ greed, once they found this much food, they wouldn’t leave so easily.

A gentleman seeks revenge ten years late—when Wu En had fully recovered, he’d make those four wolves taste the power of the Grassland Divine Arrow.

Still, Wu En felt a pang of shame. He was a man, proud of his dignity.

He knew many viewers were watching his livestream.

Unfortunately, Wu En was wrong—his livestream had few people mocking him; most pitied him.

After all, viewers had seen it: this man had searched for days for large predators, yet when one stood right before him, he’d crippled himself with weakness.

It looked so absurdly unlucky, one almost wanted to laugh.

Of course, Wu En, not watching the chat, knew none of this.

…

…

Wei Wenchang, who had chosen to leave the show, now met his rescue team.

Even the team leader, upon seeing Wei Wenchang, stepped forward and embraced him.

Then he said, “Welcome home!”

Wei Wenchang smiled and replied, “Thank you!”

Afterwards, Wei Wenchang cast a complex glance at his camp behind him.

This was where he, Wei Wenchang, had fought.

Though the memories weren’t all pleasant, this experience would burn into his soul.

For here, he, Wei Wenchang, had truly grown—understood the hardship of wilderness survival, and deeply felt the greatness of human civilization.

In truth, his decision to leave today had come after a sleepless night of deliberation yesterday.

Originally, Wei Wenchang believed he could have held on longer.

But after losing the fish meat yesterday and having no catch today, his despair and hunger plunged him into deep turmoil.

The final straw that made him choose to leave was discovering the chat filled with voices lamenting his situation.

Many of his fans were even urging him to return!

Seeing this, Wei Wenchang immediately considered giving up.

After all, unlike other contestants, he joined this show only to showcase himself and retain his original livestream audience.

Now it seemed he’d succeeded—there was no reason left to persist.

In truth, leaving had become inevitable.

Afterwards, Wei Wenchang’s livestream was shut down, and he returned to base with the rescue team.

Li Yong came out smiling to greet him, leaving Wei Wenchang genuinely startled.

After all, Li Yong was part of the leadership at Yinfu, while Wei Wenchang merely ate at Yinfu’s table.

Then, as he always did with eliminated contestants, Li Yong handed him a card to soothe his wounded spirit.

Of course, upon learning the card’s amount, another contestant now wanted to return.

…

…

Regarding Wei Wenchang’s departure, the main livestream guests also sighed.

But the two main guests only sighed briefly.

For in two days, they too would face the same fate—leaving the show.

Honestly, after nearly twenty straight days here, the main guests were exhausted, yet they’d grown attached to the program.

Of course, that’s another story.

…

…

Life goes on—some choose to leave, others must keep fighting.

Today, Xiao Yi continued feeding the two bears raw meat.

Perhaps understanding Xiao Yi’s intent, neither bear resisted.

At this point, Heidan’s wounds had all scabbed over.

He couldn’t help but marvel again at the bear’s vitality.

This time, when Xiao Yi went fishing, Heidan wanted to follow.

But Xiao Yi refused—he’d be better off staying home to heal.

What if this bear got a brain fart and jumped in the water to help him catch fish?

With injuries like these, Xiao Yi would have to nurse it for days longer.

Besides, Heidan, with his stubborn mind, was perfectly capable of doing something like that.

“Hey!”

While fishing today, Xiao Yi spotted the same large creature from yesterday.

Honestly, it looked kind of cute—if it were a cub, it’d be even better!

Then he could keep it at home and pet it like a cat.

Too bad—he and this adult mountain lion simply weren’t meant to be.

No, rather, this mountain lion had no connection to Xiao Yi’s food.

If it were smaller, Xiao Yi would’ve just “adopted” it outright.

The mountain lion, too, noticed Xiao Yi—just like yesterday, it glanced at his food, then retreated far away.

Though distant, the mountain lion smelled bear scent and strong blood on this human.

Knowing this was a creature not to be trifled with, it wisely kept its distance.

Watching the mountain lion leave, Xiao Yi pondered.

This mountain lion seemed to be a female—should he follow her?

What if there really were cubs? He could sneak one away.

After spending so much time with the two bears, Xiao Yi thought having a small pet at home wouldn’t be bad.

Too bad Heidan and Goudan were both males—he didn’t know if there were any cubs out there.

Compared to raising those two idiots, Xiao Yi wanted a little black bear more.

They eat little and are adorable—unlike those two, who eat more than Xiao Yi and do less than him.

It was like keeping two ancestral masters at home!
