Chapter 257: The Departure of the Reindeer Herd!

Xiao Yi, who woke up in the morning, sat at the door of the log cabin with a smile, watching everything before him.

Perhaps in a few days, this warm scene before him would be blown away by the wind, and what he would face next would be vast snow.

If the "Final Challenger" plan were truly implemented, Xiao Yi would consider releasing the two bears, Erhei and Gou Dan, back into this wilderness.

Although having Erhei and Gou Dan for company during the journey would make Xiao Yi safer in this wilderness.

But this is the Arctic winter, and black bears are also afraid of the cold. Even with sufficient food, it doesn't change the black bear's instinct to fear the cold.

At the log cabin camp, there is the bear den Xiao Yi built and the sufficient food Xiao Yi prepared, so one doesn't have to worry too much about the cold.

But going out on a journey, one won't have such superior conditions, and sleeping in the open will be inevitable.

Most importantly, Xiao Yi himself doesn't know where he will go on this journey.

And taking Erhei and Gou Dan away, he would naturally go very far.

At that time, if Xiao Yi couldn't bear the cold, he could choose to walk away and be eliminated at any time.

But it would be truly difficult for Erhei and Gou Dan to return to their familiar territory.

And territories with sufficient food are not common in this wilderness; every piece will inevitably have an overlord.

For the two bears to want to invade someone else's territory, a big battle, or even many big battles, would be indispensable.

Battles inevitably come with injuries or death, and the two bears have followed Xiao Yi for a long time, so Xiao Yi naturally has some feelings for them.

He couldn't bear to let the two bears get lost in this wilderness because he took them away.

At the very least, staying here to hibernate, the two bears would still live well after hibernation.

As for the deer herd, even without the "Final Challenger" plan, Xiao Yi would release the entire herd back into the wilderness.

Because his moss is really not enough; the deer herd eats too much!

Therefore, without moss as food, the ending for this group of North American reindeer would only be two.

Either they are all slaughtered by him, Xiao Yi, or Xiao Yi releases them back into the jungle.

Slaughtering, to be honest, Xiao Yi can't do such a thing. He, Xiao Yi, is not a good person, but he has never been a greedy person either.

Moreover, once a person is greedy in this wilderness, they will definitely suffer retribution!

So when Xiao Yi's food was enough for him to survive a hundred days, Xiao Yi rarely went to hunt other animals.

The current situation is that releasing this group of North American reindeer has become Xiao Yi's only choice.

Of course, Xiao Yi naturally wouldn't choose to release the six North American reindeer he selected and subdued; they are important transportation tools for his upcoming journey.

"Roar! Roar!"

Suddenly, two bear roars disturbed Xiao Yi, who was still in a daze, bringing him back to his senses.

Subsequently, Xiao Yi couldn't help but smile lightly, then patted Erhei on the head.

He didn't know when Erhei had come to Xiao Yi's side, and at this moment, Erhei was looking at Xiao Yi somewhat strangely.

Erhei always felt that today's Xiao Yi was very different from the past, but Erhei couldn't say what it was.

Afterwards, Xiao Yi stood up with a light laugh, stretched, and didn't pay any more attention to Erhei, who was lying there.

"I didn't expect to be in a daze for so long!"

Subsequently, Xiao Yi stood up, took the moss, and walked towards the reindeer herd.

Since he had made up his mind, Xiao Yi was also a person who acted swiftly.

"Yoyo! Yoyo!"

Seeing Xiao Yi walk over, the lead deer called out there.

For the past few days, the lead deer had been relatively satisfied with its life.

Although a wolf pack attacked on the first night, causing the entire herd to be startled.

But after the two bears chased them out that night, things got better, and no large predators had come to this camp again.

Most importantly, in this camp, the deer herd had sufficient food because of this human, and they didn't have to go hungry.

And at this moment, Xiao Yi personally placed the moss by the lead deer's mouth. Seeing Xiao Yi feeding it, the lead deer didn't refuse and directly bit down and chewed.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but smile and then muttered.

"Living with me for the past two days hasn't been bad, right? It's a pity! We met a bit too late. If we had met earlier, I might have let you sponge off meals for a long time like those two clumsy bears."

"Of course, it's also fortunate that you big guy met me so late, otherwise your herd might have been eaten to the bone by me. But our fate only lasts these few days."

After speaking, Xiao Yi untied the rope around the lead deer's neck, and the reindeer, which was chewing moss, didn't notice at all that it was free.

However, seeing this, the netizens in the live broadcast room were all stunned.

"What does my Xiao Shen mean by saying this? Is he going to release this lead deer? Or is he going to stew it?"

"Of course he's releasing it! Didn't you see Xiao Shen just untie the rope from the lead deer's neck?"

"What can untying the rope represent? This lead deer is already half-tamed by Xiao Shen. Look, the lead deer didn't choose to leave even after the rope was untied."

"That's well said, but Xiao Shen's words are even more correct. This lead deer should actually be glad it didn't meet Xiao Shen earlier."

"Haha, if Xiao Shen could have met the reindeer herd at the beginning of the show, then the reindeer bones would be piled up like a mountain by now."

"But Xiao Shen should be preparing to release this group of reindeer, right!"

"Don't! Raising some reindeer is really good. Even if Xiao Shen participates in the 'Final Challenger' plan, he could actually take the whole herd with him!"

"Didn't you see that the place where the moss is piled up is already more than half gone? Do you think Xiao Shen can still afford to raise them?"

Of course, Xiao Yi naturally didn't know about the live broadcast room. After feeding the lead deer, Xiao Yi didn't pay any more attention to the reindeer herd.

Instead, he turned around and used ropes to tie up the six reindeer he had selected.

"Yoyo! Yoyo!"

I don't know how long it had been, but after the lead deer had left for a distance, it finally discovered that the rope around its neck had been untied.

Behind it were dozens of reindeer of all sizes.

This scene made the lead deer somewhat confused? It didn't understand what that human meant? Subsequently, it called out "yoyo" twice more.

Afterwards, it turned to look in the direction of the camp, but found that no human was chasing after it, and even the figures of the two bears were nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, the lead deer was truly somewhat hesitant.

However, in the end, it called out "yoyo" towards Xiao Yi again, and then led the herd slowly into the dense forest not far from the camp.

"Roar!"

"Erhei, come back!"

Watching the deer herd enter the dense forest, Erhei was somewhat anxious, roared, and was about to chase after them.

However, seeing this, Xiao Yi stroked the six reindeer that were still somewhat restless and then shouted for Erhei to stop.

At this moment, the lead deer had already completely disappeared from their field of vision with the herd, making the six reindeer tamed by Xiao Yi even more restless.

Although they were all tamed by Xiao Yi, like the lead deer, their wildness had not yet faded.

The same was true for the lead deer. Although it was subdued by Xiao Yi and Xiao Yi treated it quite well here, with safety and food guaranteed, even so, the lead deer ultimately chose freedom.

This group of reindeer was born to belong to this Arctic wilderness; only reindeer running in the wilderness are the spirits of this wilderness.
