Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Arctic ground squirrel was merely a small detour on their journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Xiao Yi and his group continued toward the original den of Xiong Zai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the beaten lynx seemed unenthusiastic about the journey ahead, but both bears were now somewhat excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xiao Yi paid no attention to the three creatures’ behavior; instead, he began scanning his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since arriving in this wilderness, this was the first time Xiao Yi viewed his environment with such a relaxed, quiet, even detached mindset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undeniably, viewing the same scenery with a different mindset brought Xiao Yi entirely different feedback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, both bears finally slowed to a stop, and a cave with its outer rim charred black appeared directly before Xiao Yi’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but smile—this cave’s scorch marks were his own doing from long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar! Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both bears eagerly sprinted toward the cave, and Xiao Yi also stepped down from the sled to go take a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undeniably, Xiong Zai’s den was far more spacious than Hei Hei’s, and its ventilation was exceptionally good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, though Xiong Zai’s den overall looked quite nice, a sunken, uneven corner in one area did mar its overall beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that uneven spot was Xiao Yi’s doing—but seeing it, he felt no embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Xiong Zai had eaten his food for so long without feeling any shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, if Xiao Yi hadn’t built the stove-and-log cabin, he could have easily lived well in this very den.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he would truly have become the man who stole a bear’s den.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet what puzzled Xiao Yi was that, despite how good this den was, no other large animal had taken it over during this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Xiong Zai had followed him for dozens of days; the black bear’s scent inside the den had long since vanished completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Yi said nothing more—he walked over and patted the heads of both bears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, you’ve made it home. I’m leaving now. You two bastards may be a bit slow sometimes, but you’re also pretty lovable and useful. These wolves are left for you as winter food—eat up and hibernate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi spoke with great nonchalance, though it was untrue to say he felt no attachment at all—he’d spent too much time with these two bears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Yi had already experienced the sorrow of Huang Mao’s departure once before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And personally, Xiao Yi hated this kind of parting, this kind of sadness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this time, he made every effort to appear even more nonchalant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar! Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, the two bears didn’t really understand—they felt confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet somehow, both bears felt a hollow emptiness in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xiao Yi, he patted Xiong Zai’s head, then Hei Dan’s head, and finally turned and left the bear den.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as Xiao Yi spoke those words, his livestream exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on with Xiao Shen today? Is he not only sending off Hei Hei, but also Xiong Zai and Hei Dan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, my heart just shattered! Xiao Shen, can you not do this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me too—I loved these two bears most in your livestream. Are you really sending them both away today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re leaving the show in just ten days—can’t you let Hei Dan and Xiong Zai stay with you for ten more days?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Without Hei Dan and Xiong Zai, what’s left in your livestream? Goodbye then!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I knew Xiao Shen would send off Hei Dan and Xiong Zai, but this is too sudden—I can’t accept it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Shen, can’t you think about this again? Hei Dan and Xiong Zai aren’t a burden.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Shen, if you send off Hei Dan and Xiong Zai now, I’m unsubscribing right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At least leave one bear! Let Hei Dan follow you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not Xiong Zai? After all, he’s the black bear who’s accompanied Xiao Shen the longest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hei Dan is the most loyal—if Xiao Shen still wants to take one black bear on his journey, he should choose Hei Dan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want Xiong Zai…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xiao Yi’s livestream was filled with all kinds of comments, but the main topic was still the viewers’ reluctance to let go of Xiong Zai and Hei Dan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many even chose to leave Xiao Yi’s livestream—in just three minutes, his viewer count dropped by one million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These departing viewers were clearly expressing their dissatisfaction, though Xiao Yi might not yet know it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi’s livestream had experienced this before—after all, this was the second time Xiao Yi had sent off Hei Hei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time he sent off Hei Hei, the livestream had seen the exact same scene: a flood of viewers left, pressuring the production team and Xiao Yi to bring Hei Hei back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the pressure didn’t change Xiao Yi’s mind—it was other factors that later led to Hei Hei’s return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly, this parting was different from Hei Hei’s last departure—this time, there was no hope of return, since Xiao Yi’s departure from this wilderness was imminent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This parting might well be the final farewell—the viewers would never see these two bears again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, many had long anticipated this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Xiao Yi himself had mentioned it—but no one expected it to happen today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, back at the base control room, Li Yong could only offer a bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Li Yong’s heart, he too hoped Xiao Yi would let the two bears accompany him until the end of the show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the production team had conducted surveys showing the two bears were extraordinarily popular online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Li Yong had privately raised this matter with Xiao Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he did, Xiao Yi flatly refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, between ratings and ensuring the two bears could live safely, Xiao Yi chose the latter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi was sometimes quite contradictory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you say he’s not heartless, his actions sometimes seemed brutally cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you say he’s heartless, he could also be deeply loyal—just as he was now toward the two bears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Xiao Yi himself didn’t know where his journey would take him next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if he took the two bears with him, once his show ended and he left this wilderness, they might be forced to fight for survival again in an unfamiliar land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in this wilderness, areas with sufficient food almost always had large predators lurking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For two unfamiliar bears to survive there, combat—and even death—would be inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By leaving the two bears here, at least they wouldn’t have to find a new territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, food in this territory wasn’t scarce, and the nearby northern wolf pack had already been crippled by Xiao Yi and his group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was, in short, a rare survival ground for large predators—the two bears would be far safer here than if they followed him away.\u003C\u002Fp>",1150,"2026-06-20T08:19:47.933Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","dd9d55781a94a57832977437b60e437b5d0d8bc6dbbee41b1d059cc32c7504cc","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-316","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-314",366,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-cover.jpg"]
