Aside from seeing a wolverine from afar on the first day, the most I’ve seen are Arctic foxes, snow hares, and squirrels.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven’t even laid eyes on a single big beast that could get me excited. I’m the fiercest warrior of the grasslands—I came here to hunt the most ferocious predators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu En, gripping his bow and arrow, scanned his surroundings while glancing toward the drone, his voice dull as he spoke to the livestream audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some rejoiced, others mourned; some desperately avoided these large predators, while others foolishly searched for top wild hunters like black bears, jaguars, and bobcats to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wu En had introduced himself upon arrival, his purpose for joining the show was clear: to hunt large beasts like bears, leopards, and bobcats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So on the first day of the livestream, after building a simple shelter, Wu En spent all his time searching for large predators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fate loves to mock people: those who avoid these big beasts often stumble upon them, while those who desperately seek them never find a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who chase them tirelessly, no matter what they do, never succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wu En is the most badass—this is the first time I’ve seen someone who actively wants to hunt a bear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When it comes to badassery, of course it’s me, Xiao Shen? I’m the one who scared off an adult bear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you talking about? That wild man chased down multiple streets by Xiong Zai?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, you really dug up every bamboo shoot on the mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t you hear Xiao Shen explain later? He just made a strategic retreat—where’s the word ‘run’ for a god like him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, I’m looking forward to Wu En meeting Xiong Zai—I want to see how their showdown ends. Too bad Xiong Zai never ventures into Wu En’s area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it. Xiong Zai is more dramatic when paired with Xiao Shen. Besides, if Wu En actually kills such a cute little bear, wouldn’t that be a tragedy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think you’re overestimating Wu En and underestimating Xiong Zai’s intelligence. Even Xiao Shen, that monster, couldn’t kill Xiong Zai—how could anyone else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you forgotten why humans rose above all creatures? Because we use tools. No matter how fierce or violent Xiong Zai is, can he outrun Wu En’s arrow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t care about other black bears, but that Xiong Zai near Xiao Shen absolutely cannot be killed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wu En could just ask my Ningning to bless him—wish him absolute safety, with no giant predators nearby.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, that actually sounds reasonable—but it’s so mean!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At livestream channel eight, good news arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hong, staring at her rebuilt shelter, felt overwhelming emotion—tears streamed down her face without warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d drawn the ultimate starting hand: four squirrels at the beginning. Who knew life was so cruel—her peak came right at the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Friends, my home is rebuilt once more. This time, I’ll protect it with all my heart, like I protect my own child.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the shelter, Liu Hong performed a traditional African tribal exorcism dance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Liu Hong acting so strangely, her viewers couldn’t help but reflect: my sister Hong has finally believed in Lemonism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At livestream channel four, Mo De was enduring his own misfortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His home-field advantage didn’t bring him much luck—his region was simply too barren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other regions, at least you’d see squirrels and snow hares—basic food sources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his region, after a lucky encounter with a moose on day one, he hadn’t seen another edible meat source since.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t get lucky that day: three arrows shot at the moose—all missed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moose, startled, fled deep into the eastern marshlands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For his own safety, Kai’en watched the marsh’s edge for a long time before quietly retreating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His food for the past two days came mostly from blueberries, redberries, and other berries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, while berries gave him some nutrition, he couldn’t eat too many—since last night, he’d been suffering from diarrhea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, on day three, he hadn’t dared leave his shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no more nutritious food and constant diarrhea, even Mo De’s robust frame was beginning to break down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his diarrhea doesn’t improve today, forget surviving the next hundred days—he might not even make it through tomorrow before being eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, everyone else in the other livestreams faced their own challenges too. Nature, through this show, showed all viewers just how brutal the wild truly is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xiao Yi suddenly burst into joy—he had just smelled the scent of clay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But accompanying it was another smell he disliked—and recognized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Xiao Yi excitedly called toward the drone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Friends, hard work pays off—I’ve finally smelled the scent of clay. We’re almost there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way! My god really found clay by smell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you kidding?! Still no one believes in my god’s abilities?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait—I remember someone said Xiao Shen could find clay by smell while doing a handstand and washing his hair? Someone tag him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And where’s that guy who said he ate shit? I’ve already recharged my Yinfu coins—I didn’t even tip Xiao Shen, just waiting to tip him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t get too excited yet—my god only said he smelled it, not that he found it yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, exactly. Wait until my god finds it, then tag them so they have no rebuttal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xiao Yi say he smelled clay, everyone in the livestream cheered for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Xiao Yi’s clay quest had been incredibly grueling, filled with setbacks along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, the outcome was satisfying—and now they could finally watch how Xiao Yi built a heated wooden house in the freezing Arctic Circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xiao Yi was unaware of the livestream’s reactions—he followed the scent toward the clay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped at a cave with three entrances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his eyes was a cave with three openings—not tall. Seeing this, Xiao Yi was flooded with unpleasant memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave’s entrance was dimly lit, but its depths were pitch black—naturally eerie. Even Xiao Yi hesitated to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Xiao Yi shouted loudly into the cave—and a faint echo returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this cave was far deeper and wider than the one he’d sheltered in yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi turned and ran into the nearby forest, gathering enough dry branches and fallen leaves before returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi’s first life principle: life comes first—safety above all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he’d collected three piles of branches and logs, each half a person’s height, he stopped. Then he used his flint to ignite the dry wood at two of the cave entrances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thick smoke immediately billowed out—no matter what lurked inside, it wouldn’t survive such smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xiao Yi was satisfied. Now came the wait—watching the third, unlit entrance for any beast fleeing.\u003C\u002Fp>",1154,"2026-06-20T08:19:46.963Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","09b4e7f1779a9ad15ea4d259e8131ec58776aef12020e126fa7bd71c9a3af1bb","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-25","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-23",366,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-cover.jpg"]
