I thought it was agreed that animals couldn’t attain enlightenment after the founding of the nation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, after the founding of our nation, only our country’s animals can’t attain enlightenment—what does that have to do with Canada’s demons?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, that bear’s expression was just too pitiful—it’s clearly terrified after being punched twice by Xiao Yi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this really the wild king I imagined? Look at this bear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, all I can say is Xiao Yi is truly fierce—damn, he fought a bear barehanded!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, that scene isn’t that strange—an adult black bear has the intelligence of a three-year-old child; under the circumstances of knowing it couldn’t win and being cornered at the cave entrance, such behavior is understandable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is such a disgrace to our bear kind, but Xiao Shen is awesome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve never seen such a cute bear—I suddenly have a bold idea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I advise you not to have such a bold idea!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I also advise you not to entertain such a thought.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you don’t have Xiao Yi’s combat power, it’s best to abandon this bold idea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right—an adult black bear weighs over 300 jin, stands taller than an adult man, can tear apart tigers and leopards with its claws, and delivers a single strike of at least a thousand jin; it’s also extremely temperamental. Now you can think again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After hearing you say that, I’m even more determined to raise a black bear as a pet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so? Outside hibernation, an adult black bear consumes forty to fifty jin of food daily, preferably meat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it! I can’t afford it—I haven’t had meat in three days, and there’s not a drop of oil left in my pot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, was today a battle between two kings? But it seems the result is clear—henceforth, Xiao Shen is the true King of the North.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct—I now declare Xiao Yi the apex predator of the Arctic Circle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is definitely a human-shaped ferocious beast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today’s livestream was worth every second—Jinghua Shuiyue gifted Xiao Yi three Lamborghinis.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“99999 gifted Xiao Yi the exclusive item ‘Tiger Roar Across the Land’ x10—one word: awesome!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qieyi gifted Xiao Yi the exclusive item ‘Dragon Totem’ x10...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Xiao Yi himself knew none of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, not only was the black bear somewhat afraid of him, but Xiao Yi was also afraid of the beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, walking alone through the wilderness at night was not advisable, but in Xiao Yi’s view, the vast wilderness now held less danger than the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he chose to trudge through muddy paths and walk under the night sky, continuing his search for shelter, rather than spending the night with the black bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain, radar shows it’s right ahead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone be careful—this time, the contestant in Live Room Six encountered an adult black bear; we still don’t know its condition. Prepare the tranquilizer guns.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, Captain—my shot won’t just knock down a black bear; even an elephant will kneel. But will the contestant in Live Room Six be okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent; when they set out, Li Yong, the head of Yinfu, had briefly informed them of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, Xiao Yi was likely already dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the man called Captain, he didn’t fully answer the question; instead, he turned to his team’s medical unit and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll be counting on you three later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the three medical personnel nodded solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain, there’s a red light over there—it must be coming from the drone’s electro-optical sensor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, someone suddenly shouted, and everyone grew tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this remote wilderness, where a black bear roamed, even professional rescue personnel felt a sudden surge of unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Captain, however, remained calm and shouted: “Turn on the spotlights, confirm Xiao Yi’s location, and all personnel remain alert for a black bear ambush.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the entire ten-person rescue team was instantly bathed in bright light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sudden scene startled Xiao Yi, who was still on the move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where in this remote wilderness did the light come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain, that… looks like Xiao Yi? There’s no black bear around him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, the rescue team rejoiced—seeing Xiao Yi unharmed was exactly what they hoped for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, they didn’t lower their guard and swiftly advanced toward Xiao Yi’s position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi, too, was startled by the familiar language and quickly understood what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted out: “Everyone relax—there’s no black bear nearby, no need to be so tense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the rapidly moving rescue team froze in confusion—was the rescued person calming *them* down?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, they were approaching each other, and soon gathered together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Contestant Xiao Yi, hello—I’m Shen Mengsan, Captain of the Sixth Rescue Team. Are you alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We received orders from headquarters that you were attacked by a black bear and were to be rescued immediately—but we’re truly glad to see you safe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Captain Shen say this, Xiao Yi thought to himself: “So it was as I thought!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, inside the livestream, the mood was unusually cheerful, with many users joking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain, if you’d arrived a little later, the black bear might’ve been beyond saving.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Captain, go check on the little bear cub! This man is too brutal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could you please quickly examine and treat my Xiong Bao? That chubby bear face—how will it ever find a mate? If it can’t find one, blame Xiao Shen!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exactly, exactly—nurse, go check on Xiong Bao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Bear: “Don’t I have any dignity?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi: “Do you even have dignity?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain, thank you for the rescue, but it was just a minor matter—I’ve already handled it here. I didn’t activate the emergency rescue button, so I shouldn’t be eliminated, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Th-this-this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Shen Mengsan’s mouth twitched involuntarily; he stammered, hesitated, and didn’t know how to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to regulations, any rescued contestant was automatically disqualified and would return with them to the rescue base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Yi’s case was unusual—they hadn’t participated in his rescue, and Xiao Yi hadn’t even activated the distress signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet his authority was too low to give Xiao Yi a definitive answer at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, his phone rang again—yet the timing felt oddly familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing it was Li Yong calling, Shen Mengsan breathed a quiet sigh of relief and instructed the accompanying medical staff: “Give Xiao Yi a basic check-up first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Li! Contestant Xiao Yi has been found, but we didn’t participate in the rescue—do we still classify him as eliminated?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand. Give him a full physical check. If his body is fine, you all return immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood, Director Li!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Li Yong didn’t say it outright, Shen Mengsan now confirmed Xiao Yi retained eligibility to continue the competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he was now even more curious—how had Xiao Yi escaped the black bear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, without Xiao Yi activating the emergency signal, headquarters had already dispatched them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant headquarters believed Xiao Yi had truly faced mortal danger—possibly even a near-certain death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now wasn’t the time to discuss this.\u003C\u002Fp>",1306,"2026-06-20T08:19:46.963Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","669fa5d12654d19b2da8f330b0d889ce28819f56afd32f8163b3fb8c2b1674b7","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-16","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-14",366,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-cover.jpg"]
