Chapter 269

"Sigh! Did he really let Huang Mao leave?"

"Boss Shen Hao's heart is truly a bit too ruthless!"

"The sound Huang Mao made when it left just now was so desolate; it makes my heart feel stifled!"

"The look in Huang Mao's eyes when it looked at the little lynx in the cabin from the threshold almost made me cry."

"I hate seeing such scenes of parting!"

"Me too. I'm watching a wilderness variety show, how could this kind of situation happen?"

"Sigh! Who says animals are heartless?"

"I came to Boss Shen Hao's livestream early in the morning, and you show me this? I don't want Huang Mao to leave."

"Sigh! What more can be said at this point? Goodbye, Huang Mao!"

"Goodbye, Huang Mao!"

"Goodbye, Huang Mao!"

When they saw the scene after Xiao Yi had truly sent Huang Mao away, Xiao Yi's entire livestream room was filled with an inexplicably sad atmosphere.

At the same time, the people in the livestream room had not expected Xiao Yi to send Huang Mao away so quickly, and so decisively at that.

Afterward, the entire livestream room's bullet comments were covered by "Goodbye, Huang Mao!"

And the number of viewers in Xiao Yi's livestream room surged during the time Huang Mao left, eventually breaking through to 28 million people.

This was in the morning; in the past, it was considered a very good situation if Xiao Yi's livestream room could break through 18 million at this time.

In fact, this was only the beginning. Throughout the rest of the day, all major short-video platforms were flooded with "Goodbye, Huang Mao!"

The staff of the "100 Days of Braving the Hengduan Mountains" program, upon learning of this situation, were also left between laughter and tears, and even felt somewhat defeated.

How could they compete with this? Just the departure of an Arctic ground squirrel from Xiao Yi's side brought such heat and traffic to "Wilderness Challenge: 100 Days in the Arctic."

You have to know, there were still several other guys by Xiao Yi's side. If one left every day from now on, wouldn't all the heat during this period be monopolized by Xiao Yi?

"Whimper! Whimper!"

It is unknown how much time had passed; the sky was now bright, and the little lynx in the log cabin had also woken up.

Seeing Xiao Yi sitting there, it first ran toward him, which counted as greeting Xiao Yi.

Afterward, it began to search the entire log cabin for Huang Mao's figure.

Usually, when it woke up, Huang Mao would accompany the little lynx to play for a while.

But after searching for quite a while, the little lynx did not find Huang Mao's figure, so it intended to go outside the log cabin to look.

But when it saw the two black bears lying there listlessly, the little lynx pulled back the two legs it had stepped out.

Afterward, the little lynx began to wail loudly, hoping to call Huang Mao to its side.

In the past, whenever it heard such calls, Huang Mao would come to its side in the fastest time possible.

But this time, after the little lynx called out many times, Huang Mao still failed to appear before it, and the little lynx realized something was wrong.

Afterward, the little lynx's voice gradually changed, emitting a crying sound similar to that of an infant.

The little lynx appeared very sad at this moment; it thought that Huang Mao, who had always accompanied it, seemed to have abandoned it.

Hearing this sound, Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache, and then, unable to help himself, he hugged the little lynx in his arms with pity.

He comforted it, muttering, "Little guy, you are a lynx, a lone traveler in the wilderness. It is an Arctic ground squirrel; it has its own tribe. You should let it stay with its companions. You should learn to grow up..."

"Hiss!"

Just at this moment, Xiao Yi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palm.

Unbeknownst to him, the little lynx had suddenly bitten Xiao Yi's palm.

If it were in the past, Xiao Yi might have directly picked this little thing up and thrown it out, or if he were more ruthless, he might even have slaughtered it.

But... today, Xiao Yi truly couldn't bear it and couldn't bring himself to do it; Xiao Yi even understood how this little thing was feeling right now.

The reason Xiao Yi had let Huang Mao leave while this little thing was asleep was precisely because he was afraid of this situation.

Although this little thing appeared rebellious when facing Huang Mao now, Xiao Yi could feel that this little thing relied on Huang Mao from the bottom of its heart.

Xiao Yi could even feel this little thing's reliance on him.

But for a lynx, this kind of reliance should not exist. Only by getting rid of it early could it grow better.

It is unknown how much time passed, but the pain in Xiao Yi's palm eased slightly.

And at this moment, the little thing, feeling that Huang Mao would not abandon it like this, suddenly acted as if it had gone crazy, jumped off Xiao Yi's lap, and ran in front of Hei Dan and Gou Dan.

"Whimper! Whimper!"

Then it assumed an attacking posture in front of Hei Dan and Gou Dan, constantly provoking the two black bears.

Clearly, this little thing had panicked at this moment, or had already assumed that Hei Dan and Gou Dan, who had always been hostile to them, had hunted Huang Mao.

At this moment, Xiao Yi also checked his palm; there were several deep tooth marks where he had been bitten.

Fortunately, there was no bleeding. Otherwise, Xiao Yi would have had a real headache; after all, in such an environment, having a wound on his hand was difficult to recover from and would even affect his subsequent wilderness journey.

Or perhaps the little thing had held back its strength when biting him!

Like Xiao Yi, if it were the Hei Dan and Gou Dan of the past, seeing this little thing dare to provoke them like this, they would have long since torn into it with a bite.

But the two bears, having witnessed Huang Mao's departure with their own eyes, no longer cared about this little thing's provocation and simply turned their backs to the little lynx.

Seeing Hei Dan and Gou Dan ignoring it, the little lynx bit directly toward Hei Dan.

"Roar!"

Feeling a slight sting of pain, Hei Dan suddenly flew into a rage, turning around to teach this little thing a lesson.

"Hei Dan!"

However, just at this moment, Xiao Yi's voice suddenly came.

"You're quite brave at this moment. If you could be like this usually, you would be qualified to roam this wilderness alone."

After calling Hei Dan to stop, Xiao Yi couldn't help but mutter to himself; Xiao Yi was truly afraid that Hei Dan, in its rage, would slap this little thing to death.

Hearing Xiao Yi's call, Hei Dan, who was in a state of rage, also sobered up.

Afterward, it stopped its movement, gave a little twist of its butt, and directly flung the little lynx away.

Fortunately, there was snow everywhere outside, so even if it was flung quite far, this little thing wouldn't have any problems.

However, with Hei Dan's thick skin and flesh, being bitten by this little thing's baby teeth shouldn't have been a problem either.

And at this moment, the little lynx, which had been flung into the snow, did not come out for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yi was also a little worried; it wouldn't have been flung out by Hei Dan and died from the fall, would it?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi hurriedly walked outside.

When he reached the snow pile, he found the little thing lying in the snow, wailing "whimper" continuously.

Xiao Yi directly reached down and picked it up, and after finding that there were no problems with its body, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterward, he carried the little thing back into the log cabin, muttering to himself.

"You are still young; it's not suitable to provoke that big guy Hei Dan right now. Wait until you grow up before you go provoke it."

After returning to the log cabin, Xiao Yi directly placed it back on the wooden chair where it always slept.

But this little thing ran directly to the wooden chair where Huang Mao had always lived and lay down there.

"Sigh!"

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yi only sighed gently and did not ask any more about the situation with the little lynx.

It needed to adapt on its own; after a long time, it should be fine!
