It had seen humans before, and had even fled from them before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those humans chasing it had weapons capable of deafening roars and deadly power—yet yesterday’s human… didn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kind of human was usually the one it chased. This was the greatest disgrace of its bear life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t let it ever see that human again—or it would make him understand the might of the Wild King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for now… it should first find food to satisfy its hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday’s moss and berries had left it nauseous; today it needed meat. If it could find honey too, that would be perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Friends, although we didn’t find clay, we found a wild rabbit—right up ahead. That’s today’s catch. Anyone want to watch a cooking show? Let’s do ‘Grilled Rabbit Head’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Xiao Yi pointed toward the snow rabbit, still unaware of his presence, and smiled at his livestream audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this outing wasn’t a total loss—food mattered greatly in this challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the livestream viewers immediately started causing chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The bunny is so cute—why eat it? Honey, order me ten rabbit heads on delivery.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big God is so cruel—only thinking about rabbit heads. Me? I only love rabbit legs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re all doing it wrong. Our fresh pot rabbit meat is the real masterpiece.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No meat can’t be solved by stir-frying. Stir-fried rabbit with rice isn’t delicious?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Friends, I’ve said this a hundred times—this is a wilderness challenge show, not a cooking show. Why don’t you respect the production team?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t help it—when I see contestants starving, my own meal tastes better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Small world—I feel the same!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Xiao Yi was gathering his strength and preparing to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since he maxed out his speed stat, he hadn’t realized just how fast he truly was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dared to boast—he, Xiao Yi, was the fastest man on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Xiao Yi shot forward like the wind, racing straight for the rabbit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movement instantly pulled the livestream viewers’ attention back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What was that? A human figure just flew past the screen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I checked—where did Big God go? Was that really him just now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remove the question mark—that was definitely Big God. This drone couldn’t even keep up with his speed for an instant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way! The top-end Dajiang drone maxes out at 140 km\u002Fh. Even if it started slow, how fast must Big God be?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We all underestimated Big God. He doesn’t just have incredible strength—he’s also lightning-fast. This isn’t a challenge—it’s his playground. How are the other contestants supposed to compete?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look! Is Big God racing the rabbit? Trying to catch it bare-handed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, this is insane—anti-human! Wild rabbits run 50–70 km\u002Fh—nearly triple human speed. But look at this scene now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the instant Xiao Yi moved, the rabbit sensed the disturbance and bolted for its life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi, experiencing his maximum speed for the first time, nearly made a fool of himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lost his balance and nearly crashed headfirst into a tree, tricked by the rabbit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, this rabbit was bold—daring to toy with Xiao Yi the Butcher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past two days, Xiao Yi had watched the chat, so he knew the nicknames viewers had given him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Fish King, Woodcutter, or Strongman, he preferred “Butcher”—it sounded more imposing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Xiao Yi was agile enough to avoid crashing into the tree, and he finally understood what cheetah-speed truly felt like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But sadly, he could only sustain this burst speed for a short time—he couldn’t maintain it. So he had to end this snow rabbit quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, man and rabbit entered a lightning-speed tug-of-war—though it all happened in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No grass today—I want meat! What’s wrong with loving meat? Am I eating your food?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a slightly clumsy bear cub, wincing from eye pain, sang a little tune as it strolled boldly through the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without that man around, it felt free again—it was the Wild King of the Arctic, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—even with that man around, it was still the Wild King of the Arctic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next time they met, it would make that man regret it—show him the power of its Earth-Shattering Golden Claw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? What’s that? A rabbit? A rabbit running toward me? The Bear Lord’s luck has turned—I’m eating this rabbit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar! Roar! Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After roaring to the sky, the black bear charged full speed toward the rabbit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, what the hell? A bear? Still haunting me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the roar, Xiao Yi snapped back to awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his speed was too great—he couldn’t stop in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? That dumb bear from yesterday? Fuck, how is this possible? I even took the opposite direction—and still ran into it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Xiao Yi was moving fast, he instantly recognized the bear—no surprise, its markings were unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black bear: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the black bear also spotted Xiao Yi behind the rabbit—and its face went pale with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was already at full speed—there was no time to slow down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Open personal panel—buy Absolute Defense!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi screamed inwardly, pained and heartbroken. Absolute Defense was useful—but a one-time use item. One free stat point gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You damn bear—you’ve officially made an enemy of Xiao the God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Xiao Yi’s only option—he and the bear were both moving too fast, and only fifty meters apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forest path was too narrow; even if both tried to slow down, avoiding collision was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless one of them chose to crash into a tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi—the legendary transmigrator, the man blessed with Absolute Defense—would never let himself crash into a tree. That kind of humiliation? Not a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for that dumb bear? Forget it—it wouldn’t dare crash into a tree either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, then Xiao the Butcher would give this dumb bear a lesson it would never forget.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he’d be betraying the glorious nickname the netizens gave him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Xiao Yi would make this dumb bear know—here, in this territory, who was the real father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crash!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the livestream viewers could react, the man and the bear collided at full speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, that hurt!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Xiao Yi and the black bear screamed in pain simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then their bodies, propelled by force, rolled in opposite directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Absolute Defense blocked the lethal impact, it couldn’t absorb the residual force—Xiao Yi was sent tumbling backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with perfect unspoken coordination, neither paid attention to the fleeing rabbit—they both scrambled to their feet and sprinted away in opposite directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After putting a hundred meters between them, they both turned back, watching each other warily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xiao Yi sneered inwardly: “This bear? Coward?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1159,"2026-06-20T08:19:46.963Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0b1b098c13eeb06c365f420eee5f5a052e4855f223304a40c7c7b805d461e23b","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-21","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-19",366,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-cover.jpg"]
