Chapter 15: Have pity on me, Xiong Bao!

The world outside the cave was clear and bright with moonlight at this moment. After Xiao Yi walked out of the cave, he could still see the moonlight reflecting off the accumulated rainwater.

This had been a sudden downpour; after it passed, the dark clouds in the sky drifted away with the wind.

Inside the cave entrance, the bear was still howling in pain. However, when it saw Xiao Yi leaving, it opened its blurry black eyes in a very human-like manner and secretly watched Xiao Yi's back.

Only after confirming that Xiao Yi had truly left the cave did it dare to move its body slightly.

This scene happened to be captured by the drone that had flown out of the cave, immediately creating a huge stir online.

"What the hell was that scene just now? Damn, wasn't it said that animals can't become spirits after the founding of the nation?"

"Hehe, it's only the animals in our country that can't become spirits after the founding of the nation. What does that have to do with the monsters in the Maple Leaf Country?"

"No, the expression on that bear cub just now was just too pitiful. It was definitely scared stiff by those two solid punches from Xiao Yi."

"Is this still the King of the Wilderness in my mind? Look at that bear-like behavior."

"Haha, I can only say Xiao Yi is truly fierce. Damn, he actually fought a bear with his bare hands!"

"Actually, that scene just now isn't much. An adult black bear has the intelligence of a three-year-old child. Knowing it couldn't win and being blocked at the cave entrance, it's understandable that it would exhibit such behavior."

"It really is a disgrace to our bear clan, but Xiao Shen is awesome."

"Seeing such a cute bear for the first time, I suddenly have a bold idea."

"I advise you not to have such a bold idea!"

"I also advise you not to have such an idea."

"If you don't have Xiao Yi's combat power, it's better to give up on this bold idea."

"That's right, an adult black bear weighs over 300 jin. When they stand up, they are taller than an adult male. Its claws can tear apart tigers and leopards, and a full-force strike is at least a thousand jin. Its temper is exceptionally irritable. Now you can think about it again."

"Hearing you say that, I feel like I want to raise a black bear as a pet even more."

"……"

"……"

"Is that so? When not hibernating, an adult black bear consumes forty to fifty jin of food every day, preferably meat."

"Then forget it! I can't afford to raise one? I haven't eaten meat for three days myself, and there isn't a drop of oil in my pot."

"……"

"……"

"Hehe, can today be considered the Battle of the Two Kings? But it seems the result is out now. From now on, my Xiao Shen is the true King of the Arctic."

"That's right, I now wish to call Xiao Yi the man at the top of the Arctic Circle food chain."

"This definitely counts as a human-shaped fierce beast."

"Watching this livestream today was so worth it. Jinghuashuiyue tipped Xiao Yi Lamborghini ×3."

"99999 tipped Xiao Yi exclusive gift Tiger Roar Under Heaven ×10. One word: badass!"

"Qieyi tipped Xiao Yi exclusive gift Dragon Totem ×10……"

……

……

Of course, Xiao Yi himself did not know about these things.

Having said that, it wasn't just the black bear that was a bit afraid of him; in fact, Xiao Yi was also afraid of this black guy!

Actually, the dark night is not suitable for traveling alone in the wilderness, but in Xiao Yi's view, the vast wilderness jungle now was not as dangerous as the cave.

Therefore, he would rather choose to tread on muddy paths and walk at night to continue searching for his shelter than to "spend a lovely night" with that black bear.

……

……

"Captain, the radar shows it's right ahead!"

"Everyone be careful. The contestant in the No. 6 livestream room this time encountered an adult black bear. We don't know the situation yet, so get the tranquilizer gun ready."

"Don't worry, Captain. With one shot from me, let alone a black bear, even an elephant would have to kneel. But should the contestant in the No. 6 livestream room be okay?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. When they came, the person in charge at Yinfu, Li Yong, had already briefly told them some of the situation.

In their view, Xiao Yi was likely in grave danger.

As for the man who had just been called Captain, he didn't fully answer this question either, but instead spoke toward the medical team in his squad.

"I'll have to trouble the three of you in a moment!"

Upon hearing this, the three medical personnel nodded with slightly heavy expressions.

"Captain, over there... there's a red light. It should be from the drone's photoelectric sensor."

Just at this moment, someone suddenly shouted, and then everyone became a bit nervous.

In such a remote wilderness where black bears were known to roam, even though they were professional search and rescue personnel, they still felt a sudden tension in their hearts.

At this time, the Captain shouted calmly, "Turn on the floodlights, confirm the location of contestant Xiao Yi, and all personnel be on alert for a surprise attack by the black bear."

Upon hearing this, the area around the ten-person search and rescue team suddenly became brightly lit.

This sudden scene immediately gave Xiao Yi, who was still on his way, a great shock.

In this remote wilderness, where did the lights come from?

"Captain, that... seems to be Xiao Yi? There is no black bear around him."

At this moment, the search and rescue team members were all overjoyed. Seeing Xiao Yi safe and sound was what they most hoped to see.

However, they did not lower their guard and moved quickly toward Xiao Yi's location while remaining vigilant.

As for Xiao Yi, he was also startled by the familiar language, and then he understood what was going on.

He couldn't help but shout, "Everyone, don't worry, there are no black bears around here. Don't be so nervous."

Upon hearing this, the rapidly moving search and rescue team members were all stunned. Was the person being rescued trying to soothe the tension of the rescue team?

Fortunately, they were all approaching from the front, and before long, they gathered together.

"Hello, contestant Xiao Yi. I am Shen Mengsan, the captain of the Sixth Search and Rescue Team. Are you alright now?"

"We received notice from above, and news came from the main control room saying you were attacked by a black bear, so we were ordered to rescue you quickly. However, it is truly a pleasure to see you."

Seeing Captain Shen say this, Xiao Yi muttered in his heart, "Just as I thought!"

However, at this moment, the livestream room was unusually joyful, and many people were teasing.

"Captain Shen, if you had arrived any later, the black bear might not have been able to be treated."

"Yes, Captain Shen, hurry up and go see the black bear baby! This man is too fierce."

"Could you please quickly check and treat my Xiong Bao? With that chubby bear face, how will he find a wife in the future! If he can't find a wife, it will all be Xiao Shen's fault."

"That's right, that's right. Medical ladies, hurry up and take a look at Xiong Bao!"

……

……

Black Bear: "Do I not have any face?"

Xiao Yi: "Do you still have any face?"

……

……

"Captain Shen, thank you for your rescue, but these are all minor matters. I have already resolved the situation here. It's just that I don't seem to have activated the emergency rescue button. I shouldn't be considered eliminated, right?"

"This, this, this!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Mengsan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and then he began to stutter and hesitate, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

According to the regulations, the contestants they rescue are directly considered eliminated and will return to the rescue base with them.

But Xiao Yi's situation was indeed a bit special; they hadn't participated in Xiao Yi's rescue, and Xiao Yi didn't seem to have actively pressed the distress signal.

It was just that his authority was too low to give Xiao Yi a definitive answer at this moment.

Fortunately, at this moment, his mobile phone rang again. It was just that this process made him feel somewhat familiar.

After seeing that it was a call from Li Yong, Shen Mengsan breathed a sigh of relief and then instructed the accompanying medical personnel to give Xiao Yi a simple check-up first.

"Li Zong! Contestant Xiao Yi has been found, but we did not participate in the rescue process. I don't know if contestant Xiao Yi is considered eliminated."

"I know. Give him a general check-up first. If there is nothing wrong with his body, you can all withdraw."

"I understand, Li Zong!"

Although Li Yong didn't say it explicitly, he had already confirmed that Xiao Yi was qualified to continue the competition.

Of course, what he was more curious about at this moment was how Xiao Yi escaped from the black bear.

You have to know that without Xiao Yi pressing the emergency rescue button, the main control room had already directly ordered them to set out.

This indicated that the main control room had determined that Xiao Yi was indeed facing a life-threatening crisis at the time, and it might even have been a narrow escape.

However, now was not the time to discuss this issue.
