Fuck, what a massive wolf! This is getting exciting, getting exciting!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, staying up tonight was definitely worth it. Knowing Xiao Shen’s personality, any idiot who shows up tonight won’t leave things calm. I thought it’d be Xiong Hou again, but this time it’s a wolf stealing food.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Same here—I’d have gone to sleep too, but even though it’s not Xiong Hou, watching the great god fight a wolf? Worth staying up all night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m pumped—wonder if those early sleepers will regret going to bed when they hear this tomorrow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder if Xiao Shen is lucky or unlucky. Top predators in the wild are rare finds—Wu De hasn’t tracked any of these beasts in ages, yet Xiao Shen’s had a bear and now a wolf in just a few days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s clear Xiao Shen has irresistible charm—even top Arctic predators are drawn to him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s going too far. I doubt Xiao Shen likes this damn charm. Not everyone’s Wu De.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fuck, the wolf’s about to attack—but it’s asking for death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the wolf, realizing its roar hadn’t intimidated Xiao Yi, instead grew even more bloodthirsty and ferocious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a symbol of cruelty and cunning in the Arctic wilds, even facing stronger hunters like black bears or cougars, it would never flee without a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi, too, sensed the shift in the wolf’s aura—he knew it was now ready to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Xiao Yi felt no fear or tension as expected; somehow, he was oddly exhilarated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gripped his wooden club tighter, assuming a defensive stance, waiting for the lone wolf to attack—so he could deliver a fatal blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the wolf, true to its reputation as the most patient predator in the wild, though agitated, held back, refusing to attack until Xiao Yi showed a clear opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi, meanwhile, kept his eyes locked on the wolf. Though fear had vanished and even a hint of excitement stirred within him, he never underestimated this beast before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For several minutes, man and wolf stood locked in silence—until Xiao Yi finally moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung his wooden club straight toward the lone wolf, several meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolf, alert, stepped back several paces the moment Xiao Yi swung, then leapt swiftly aside, dodging the club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, it bared its fangs and lunged for Xiao Yi’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This lone wolf, a seasoned hunter, pursued every attack with the goal of a single fatal strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the wolf bit down, Xiao Yi’s corpse would be left in the wild tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how cunning an animal, it’s still just an animal—far outmatched by human intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That opening? Deliberately left by Xiao Yi. He’d used only three-tenths of his strength; the remaining seven-tenths were reserved for the next move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the wolf lunged, Xiao Yi shifted out of position—clearly, the wolf hadn’t expected such speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before it could react, Xiao Yi swung his club straight at the wolf’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolf had exhausted its momentum; turning back was too late. It could only stare helplessly as the swinging club struck its skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in that instant, fear flashed in the wolf’s eyes—it truly felt death approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh… ugh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment the club met the wolf’s head, two sounds rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One: the club snapping under force. The other: the wolf’s agonized howl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the impact, the wolf flew backward over three zhang, a testament to Xiao Yi’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi had held back—this was his full strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a lion uses full force against a rabbit—how much more so when facing a ferocious lone wolf?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi’s life principle: never risk his own life carelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolf slid another several chi after hitting the ground before finally stopping—its moans had ceased entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the motionless wolf, Xiao Yi still didn’t approach. He picked up the broken club first, then moved forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before inspecting, he delivered one final strike—just in case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the fight was brief, every second carried life-or-death stakes. Viewers in the livestream erupted in excitement once the wolf was down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unreal, Xiao Shen! One swing killed a lone wolf—so bloody, so violent, and damn, so manly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the Xiao Shen I always imagined—you’re the king of the Arctic wilds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So damn fierce! Xiao Shen’s a real man—who else could kill a lone wolf with a wooden club? Only Xiao Shen!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So honored to witness Xiao Shen slay a wolf!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Shen is truly the best!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dared to go after Xiao Shen’s fish? This wolf had no idea who he was dealing with—died without regret.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want a wolf pelt—Xiao Shen, can you draw a prize and give one away?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wolf teeth ward off evil—I’d love a few as jewelry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 3 a.m. this morning, Xiao Yi’s livestream audience surged past three million—from just over one million six hundred thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the cultivation faction’s followers are numerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the control room, Li Yong rushed in, swearing loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d been asleep, but was woken by the night shift staff, who explained what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grumbled as he got up—yesterday morning, he’d praised Xiao Yi for suddenly becoming quiet, yet only hours later, this drama unfolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the main control room, Li Yong caught the final clash between Xiao Yi and the wolf. When he saw Xiao Yi swing the club and send the wolf flying, he shouted excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good kid! I knew you could do it—no wonder I picked you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Li Yong knew: not only had Xiao Yi’s immediate danger passed, relieving his worries about his safety,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their wilderness challenge show was about to gain another hot topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staff Member A “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staff Member B “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They felt like they were seeing their boss for the first time—as if the man who just cursed wasn’t the same one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder they were low-level staff while Li Yong ran the show—it made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That quick switch in demeanor? New hires would need years to learn it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1005,"2026-06-20T08:19:46.963Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","de62bf0a9322b94167539bb7addaf29d990125060afa30fcdcf7304e69399a57","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-40","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-38",366,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-cover.jpg"]
