Roar! (We know, we know!)”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiao Yi roar, Xiong Zai, who had been lying near the stove, responded first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time he’d realized winter could be this warm—humans were truly miraculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Zai’s admiration for Xiao Yi was now boundless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, when Xiao Yi gave them commands, Xiong Zai felt annoyed and wanted to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiong Zai was always the first to jump up and defend Xiao Yi’s authority, scolding his own crafty brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A total bear traitor—Xiao Yi’s top enforcer and devoted follower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t be helped—life with Xiao Yi was just too comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did they never worry about food or drink, but they also didn’t have to hibernate like other bear tribe elders, forced by the cold and scarcity of food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this idyllic life of sleeping on the raised platform would end for both Xiao Yi and the two dumb bears, starting today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t be helped—Xiao Yi’s meat supply would be completely gone by the end of today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Xiao Yi still had plenty of wild vegetables, he was, after all, a carnivore; vegetables were merely a palate cleanser after meat, and he could never live on grass every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if he didn’t hunt for food today, his only option would be to turn his gaze toward these two bears, who’d already consumed so much of his meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Xiong Zai noticed the strange glint in Xiao Yi’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, upon hearing Xiao Yi’s roar, Xiong Zai had wanted to sass back—after all, acting like a lickspittle like his stupid brother? He simply couldn’t bring himself to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing that look in Xiao Yi’s eyes, Xiong Zai instantly abandoned any thought of defiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alone, neither he nor his foolish brother stood a chance against this human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they teamed up, his instincts told him they’d likely still lose—and with a traitor brother around, who was even really “two against one”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that was the case, he’d stick to his lifelong bear philosophy: if you can’t beat them, join them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph! Fine, I’ll just obey then!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Xiao Yi had no idea what the two bears were thinking right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he finished weaving the net, he opened the cabin door and called the two bears over to help cover the rabbit enclosure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the bears’ main role was as stakes—clearly, Xiong Zai and Xiong Bao had long mastered this kind of stake-driving work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some improvements, the rabbit enclosure finally met Xiao Yi’s approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now everything was ready—just waiting for the wild rabbits to walk into the trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even this brief outing left Xiao Yi’s hands and feet icy cold when he returned to the cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, the coldest time during snowfall isn’t when it’s snowing—it’s when the snow is melting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Xiao Yi hadn’t wanted to go out these past few days was precisely because the snow was melting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was the weather bitterly cold, but the paths through the coniferous forest were slippery and muddy—definitely not a good time to venture out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But food shortages left him no choice, no matter how reluctant he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, the morning passed; after a hearty meal, the man and the two bears set off into the forest depths, carrying a grass cage woven and covered by Xiao Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he’d need the two giants’ strength in the afternoon, Xiao Yi was unusually generous and brought out all the remaining meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he didn’t give Xiong Zai and Xiong Bao fish heads or chicken tails—he gave them only the finest fish and meat, a rare display of generosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiao Yi finally leave his camp, the livestream audience grew excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve been bored to death watching Xiao Shen’s livestream these past two days—finally, my Xiao Shen is leaving his heated cabin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly! These past few days, his stream was so dull. Give me the old days when Xiao Shen was sweeping up wolf packs—that’s what real men do!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boring? I find it fascinating watching Xiao Shen explain postgraduate exam questions. As a postgraduate candidate, it’s so hard to focus—now with Xiao Shen’s explanations, even the confusing parts suddenly make sense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t this insane? This is the Wild Challenge—how can he treat the wilderness so casually?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank God Xiao Shen ran out of food.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, you should thank Xiong Zai and Xiong Bao for eating so much—that’s why Xiao Shen’s been forced to go to work!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The scenery outside is so beautiful! I’ve been staring at Xiao Shen’s cabin for two days—I’m suffering from visual fatigue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looking forward to Xiao Shen’s haul today!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough, cough… I have a tiny bit of a dark thought—I hope Xiao Shen doesn’t catch anything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough, cough—be confident: you’re not the only one with this dark thought. Xiao Shen’s been way too comfortable in this Wild Challenge; seeing him suffer a little hunger is actually kind of satisfying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>",1211,"2026-06-20T08:19:46.963Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5b887d0317df6d571b08cf4bb9368291ff880a0814458354b544f0b334f92418","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-66","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-64",366,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-cover.jpg"]
