Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in the wilderness, a furious bear’s roar sent all creatures scattering through the forest, shattering the night’s stillness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just from that roar alone, the animals of the wilderness could sense the bear was now in a bloodthirsty rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Howl! Howl!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response to the bear’s furious roars came the wolves’ howling under the moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in the wilderness, a fierce battle between wolves and bear was underway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This battle had created a blank zone for miles around, with no other animal daring to linger and watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this was a clash between the King of the Wilderness and the wilderness’s most formidable pack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the cause of this battle had been a porcupine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hungry black bear had gone out at night to forage and discovered a porcupine in the wilderness, which it captured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the moment the black bear captured the porcupine, a wolf pack had also been watching it for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hungry bear, of course, would not abandon its captured prey, and immediately roared at the wolf pack to scare them off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the starving wolves, their bellies empty, paid no heed to the bear’s threats—instead of giving up the prey, they added the bear to their menu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When neither side would yield, a battle became inevitable, and thus, unseen by any, a bear-wolf war erupted deep in the wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enraged, the black bear charged straight at the wolf pack, heading for the wolf king, but the wolves, wary of the bear’s strength, avoided direct confrontation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they waited until the bear paused, then launched surprise attacks from behind, tearing at its hind legs and even its rump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear, in pain, immediately turned and struck back at the wolves behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray wolf directly in the bear’s rear reacted a fraction too slow and was slammed to the ground by a single paw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whimper… whimper!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crushing force of the bear’s paw sent the central gray wolf into a howl of agony; it took a long time before it could limp back to its feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the bear turned, other wolves struck from behind, leaving its back torn and bloody.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the wolf pack’s constant fighting style: never frontal assault, always coordinated ambushes, minimizing their own casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several exchanges, the black bear now felt an unprecedented sense of peril—and fear crept into its heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, despite taking another wound, it spun and bit down hard on a gray wolf’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolf, its throat seized, collapsed with a final howl and never rose again—this strike by the bear was swift, precise, and brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this ferocious attack stunned the surrounding wolves, clearly shaken by the bear’s violence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the wolves’ eyes turned blood-red, as if their companion’s death had stirred them into even greater savagery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the bear, lacking courage, took advantage of the wolves’ momentary shock and fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Howl!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolf pack, however, had no intention of letting this bear—responsible for their comrade’s death and already wounded—escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the wolf king’s roar, the pack surged after the bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolves’ speed surpassed the bear’s, but they still feared its strength and counterattacks, so they chased while only lunging to tear off a bite when the chance arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear, meanwhile, felt despair—under the wolves’ pursuit, it might truly die tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar! Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his sleep, Xiao Yi unconsciously smiled—exhausted from a full day, after a brief chat with his livestream audience to ease his loneliness, he had fallen asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the wilderness, with no phone or computer, Xiao Yi’s biological clock had effectively reset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the clumsy bear hadn’t come yesterday, Xiao Yi had lowered his guard today, assuming it wouldn’t come today either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as he drifted in and out of sleep, he thought he heard a bear’s roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, he didn’t wake immediately—he didn’t believe that clumsy bear would dare come so brazenly to bother him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his dream, Xiao Yi helplessly complained: why, even in sleep, could he not escape the memory of that clumsy bear’s roar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar! Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Howl! Howl!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something’s wrong—this isn’t a hallucination!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sounds came again, Xiao Yi jolted upright—since nearly being killed by that clumsy bear while asleep, he had never again slept deeply in the wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, he’d heard the bear’s roar again, mixed with wolf howls, and instantly went on alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He silently cursed inside: “Not again! Not only is the clumsy bear coming for revenge, but now the wolves have allies too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this chorus of howls and roars had jolted awake everyone in Xiao Yi’s livestream who’d been staying up to watch him sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t the god just fall asleep? Why did he suddenly sit up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, did you hear that noise coming from the god’s livestream?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, sounded like bear roars and wolf howls—will there be another surprise tonight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think you’re overthinking it. After all, he’s out in the wild—bear roars and wolf howls are normal, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s true. Yesterday, Xiao Shen just killed a wolf; surely no beast in the wilderness would be this stupid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If a bear and wolves really show up tonight, that’d be great—I want to see the god go berserk again, it’s so energizing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t you just wish him some peace? Sure, him hunting beasts is thrilling, but don’t ignore the danger!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar! Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Howl! Howl!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, do you feel like the bear roars and wolf howls are getting louder?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that you mention it, I felt that too—could they really be getting close to the god’s camp?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m checking! No way! Are a bear and wolves really coming to visit our god today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the livestream viewers debated, Xiao Yi’s face grew darker by the second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the livestream audience could tell from the sounds that the bear and wolves were drawing nearer to his camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Xiao Yi, right there at the scene, not notice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This might really be trouble today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi now only hoped the bear and wolves were just passing through—but how had they ended up together?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Xiao Yi’s sleepiness vanished entirely; he gritted his teeth, grabbed his wooden staff, and stepped outside his shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d just finished building the heated bed today—he would not allow anyone… no, any beast to destroy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoever dared destroy it would be his greatest enemy—if any fool had the audacity, then today, Xiao Yi would open the slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what came next left Xiao Yi stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>",1085,"2026-06-20T08:19:46.963Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4d061705f241224e256b94cbe56898df903b97958b1662b405d0b1ec829d7001","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-44","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-42",366,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-cover.jpg"]
