You’re seriously underestimating me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Xiao Yi held the axe in hand again, facing the four wolves, he felt the danger had diminished greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this scene left the online viewers in the livestream gasping in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit, the wolf pack still loves my Xiao Shen! Just took out two, now two more have joined!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the situation isn’t looking good! Xiao Shen’s stamina was already depleted earlier; now facing four wolves again, it’s still dangerous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think your worry is unnecessary—this is Xiao Shen! The man who can hold up a brown bear with his bare arms!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not curious whether Xiao Shen can kill these four wolves—I’m certain he will. What worries me is whether he’ll get injured in the process.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. The show’s almost over; getting hurt now would be completely pointless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, why is the rescue team so useless? They’ve got guns, yet they haven’t taken down even a few of these wolves yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think everyone’s like Xiao Shen? Stop bashing the rescue team—if you were in his place right now, you’d probably be peeing your pants, let alone fighting back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha! That’s crude but true! In this brutal weather, at night, who besides a monster like Xiao Shen could take down wolves so easily?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no—the rescue team just took down one wolf already! Didn’t you see that? They’re pretty fierce too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the reason the livestream viewers were shocked was because two more wolves had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some viewers also expressed concern over Xiao Yi’s current situation, since his stamina was indeed depleted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most viewers weren’t worried—they had absolute faith in Xiao Yi’s combat ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi, of course, had no idea what was happening in the livestream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xiao Yi gripped the axe tightly in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi no longer wanted to react passively—he intended to launch an offensive against the four wolves before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew clearly that he didn’t need to kill all four wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he killed just two, even the most resilient and hungry pack would feel fear—and then they’d likely retreat on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, even killing just one more wolf might be enough to make the pack collapse and flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the rescue team and Xiao Yi fought the wolf pack, the Maple Nation police rescue team arrived at the edge of Forest No. 6.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anji, what’s that over there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, someone shouted toward Anji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Anji gazed far off and, through the helicopter’s spotlight, clearly saw the massive object in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A large snowplow? How is there a large snowplow here? Has someone already entered to rescue?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anji muttered to himself silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Layne! Send two men to check what’s going on by that snowplow—see if anyone’s near it. The rest of you, inspect your gear—we’re entering the coniferous forest for rescue immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it, Anji!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Anji spoke, the officer beside him, Layne, immediately dispatched two officers to investigate the snowplow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest followed Anji’s orders, carefully checking their equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they might soon be fighting the wolf pack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they were numerous and well-armed, and defeating the pack was nearly certain, everyone still needed to prepare thoroughly—any injury from an accident would be unacceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn this snow—I hate snow like this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I haven’t hunted a wolf in ages—I hope I get to kill one myself this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the rescue team officers were relaxed, chatting freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the two officers returned running. Seeing this, Anji frowned slightly and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the situation over there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the officers replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a tent and signs of a fire, but we found no people—maybe they’ve already entered the coniferous forest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, by the way, we also saw a small lynx and a rough-legged hawk near the tent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those two little guys looked fierce yet cute when they saw us—probably the tent owner’s pets.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anji froze in surprise, then confirmed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You really saw a small lynx inside the tent?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Anji ask again, the two officers were puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they nodded and confirmed: “Yes, there really was a small lynx.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I never expected to run into that man here! I’m even more excited about this rescue now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, all the officers around him were stunned, unsure why Anji was so excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anji, you mean…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, someone couldn’t help but ask:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anji had no intention of hiding his thought—he spoke his guess aloud:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Anji’s words, everyone couldn’t help but cry out in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all knew exactly who Anji meant by “Xiao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many, upon hearing “Xiao,” grew excited—not everyone, like Anji, harbored a challenge toward Xiao Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many deeply admired Xiao Yi! After all, it was Xiao Yi who captured the Killer Doctor Daniel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So for many, finding Xiao Yi here was genuinely a pleasant surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anji, how did you know that camp belonged to Xiao?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone asked, puzzled—after all, the camp had no markings identifying Xiao Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You might not know, but Xiao keeps a small lynx on his show! In this uninhabited area, only Xiao would have kept such a lynx—so it must be his tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of everyone present, Anji was the one who knew Xiao Yi best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had even gone to Chinese websites specifically to watch Xiao Yi’s show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While many in Maple Nation only knew Xiao Yi’s name, Anji knew every pet Xiao had ever kept: Hei Dan, Gou Dan, Er Hei, Huang Mao, the small lynx.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when he heard about the small lynx in the tent, he immediately thought: this must be Xiao Yi’s camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao kept a small lynx?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wasn’t it two black bears he kept on the show? How’s it a lynx?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Anji’s words, many began discussing—after all, the show wasn’t broadcast in Maple Nation, so most only knew Xiao Yi through rumors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Officer Layne said nothing, not even questioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shared an office with Anji and knew how obsessively Anji studied Xiao Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing Xiao kept a lynx was no surprise at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Anji spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, let’s move! While rescuing, let’s also go meet Xiao—I’m sure he’s somewhere in this coniferous forest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone’s enthusiasm surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing Xiao Yi was in this forest was far more exciting than a simple rescue mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much longer until we get there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Anji’s team entered the coniferous forest, Captain Yan, aboard the drone, asked the pilot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain, we’ll need at least twenty minutes to reach the edge of the coniferous forest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Captain Yan said nothing—he knew this was their maximum speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared ahead, momentarily lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he murmured:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Maple Nation police rescue team should have arrived by now—I hope Group Leader Kong and his team are safe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Captain Yan, someone nearby reassured him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain, don’t worry—Group Leader Kong and his team won’t be in danger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hope so!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Captain Yan could not help but speak up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, the helicopter fell silent, leaving only the sound of the rotor blades outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You it is!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, in the needle forest, Xiao Yi had found his next target for attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Xiao Yi grabbed his axe and charged forward in large strides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aowu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiao Yi charging toward them, the four wolves let out a howl and prepared to meet his assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, wolf packs always preferred to hold the initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Xiao Yi was attacking, they would not choose passive defense—they themselves were highly aggressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, all four wolves moved at high speed toward Xiao Yi, coordinating perfectly to attack him from four directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xiao Yi did not retreat or defend this time; instead, he prepared to strike the wolf directly in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as the wolf pack closed in further, Xiao Yi suddenly threw his axe again—toward the wolf approaching from his left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aowu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the axe hurtling toward him, the wolf charging from the left let out a cry of terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the wolf pack had already witnessed Xiao Yi’s axe-throwing skill and had developed some caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the axe merely grazed the wolf’s fur as it fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, it terrified the wolf so badly that its spirit nearly shattered, causing it to halt its pursuit of Xiao Yi entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this time the wolf wasn’t killed mainly because Xiao Yi had thrown the axe hastily; otherwise, at such close range, the wolf on the left would have been dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this sight didn’t just frighten the left wolf—the other three wolves also paused momentarily, though only for an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Xiao Yi needed was precisely that moment of hesitation from the wolf pack—he wanted to exploit a timing gap and kill the wolf directly in front of him with maximum speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, facing the wolf before him, Xiao Yi punched straight out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aowu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a pained howl from the wolf rang out, mixed with the sound of snapping bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Xiao Yi rolled forward, dodging the attacks of the other two wolves rushing toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, he even felt a chill of wind brushing past the back of his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew—if he had been even a fraction slower, the wolf behind him would have torn into his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Xiao Yi broke into a cold sweat, but this time his choice had been correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far from Xiao Yi, one wolf lay on the ground, moaning in agony, its face now twisted and deformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could imagine how heavy Xiao Yi’s punch had been!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Xiao Yi’s own fist was now throbbing with pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he felt this risk had been worth it—he had eliminated another nuisance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Xiao Yi had dared to take such a risk because he had absolute confidence in his control over his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly of all, Xiao Yi still had not used the Absolute Defense he had exchanged with the system—that was his greatest confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just after Xiao Yi finished off this wolf, another wolf’s howl suddenly echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the sound, both Xiao Yi and the three wolves facing him froze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they all turned toward the source of the noise. When they saw what had happened, Xiao Yi muttered with a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolf’s howl had come from Group Leader Kong and his team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Xiao Yi was killing the wolf before him, Group Leader Kong’s team had successfully killed another wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Group Leader, finally done! Now we can go help Xiao Shen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Xiao Feng looked at the dying wolf before him and smiled as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been the one holding off this wolf, though he regretted that he hadn’t delivered the final blow himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Group Leader Kong rolled his eyes and replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just now, Xiao Shen killed another wolf.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Feng: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Group Leader Kong say this, Xiao Feng first stared blankly, then turned to look toward Xiao Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, there was one fewer wolf near Xiao Yi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you standing there for?
