Chapter 81: Xiao Yi, who was being watched

"Ugh!"

"Ugh!"

Just as Xiao Yi left his camp, the two big guys deep in the dense forest were communicating closely.

What Xiao Yi didn't know was that the two big guys had been observing him from afar for a long time.

The Arctic ground squirrel on the tree fled in a panic after noticing the figures of the two big guys.

For the Arctic ground squirrel, these two big guys definitely counted as its disaster.

As for the crows on the treetops, they also flew into the air in a swarm after hearing the low roars of the two big guys, occasionally letting out mournful cries.

The Arctic winter was a true life-and-death test for this group of crows; the desolation of the earth and the coverage of ice and snow made it hard to find even carrion, let alone berries and insects.

The two big guys didn't care much about the fleeing of the Arctic ground squirrels and crows.

If it were in the past, they would definitely have regarded that Arctic ground squirrel as their prey, but today they had a more abundant target.

After days of observation and waiting, they had been looking for an opportunity to invade the human camp so that they could have a full meal.

But until now, they hadn't found an absolutely safe opportunity; even when the human left to hunt, there would always be a bear guarding the group of prey.

As for a night raid, the two big guys hadn't not calculated it, but the two black bears were too vigilant at night.

As long as they got a little bit closer, the two black bears would smell their scent and vigilantly run out to check.

It was just that days of waiting had already made the two big guys start to become impatient.

The Arctic wilderness was getting colder and colder, which also meant that food would become increasingly scarce, and naturally, it had reached the cruelest period of the Arctic wilderness.

If there was no sufficient food, although the two big guys were at the top of the wilderness food chain, it would be very difficult to survive this cold winter.

What's more, they still had a cub that needed more food, so even though the two big guys knew the danger of the two bears and the human camp, they had to choose to risk putting their greedy eyes on the human camp.

It was just that as wilderness hunters who were cautious by nature, even though they now urgently hoped to get all the prey in the human camp, they still didn't dare to act rashly without ensuring they could escape.

However, through these days of observation, the two big guys discovered that the human almost left to hunt with a black bear every day.

At that time, there was only one black bear guarding the vicinity of the prey.

Although provoking that black bear would still put them in danger, the prey there was worth them choosing to take the risk to obtain.

It was just that now, they had to ensure that the human and the other black bear were far enough away from this place.

So that they could have a chance to escape after obtaining the prey.

"Ugh!"

Just then, the male big guy looked at the female big guy, then turned and followed Xiao Yi and Hei Dan from afar.

It wanted to follow the human and check their tracks.

The female big guy also left this place at this time; there was still a child waiting for its food today, and it also had to prevent its child from becoming prey if they left for too long.

"Roar! Roar!"

Just then, the bear cub suddenly opened its eyes, its pupils carrying a fierce aura.

Just now, it had again faintly smelled the scent of that guy it hated.

In the past, such guys wouldn't dare to offend its territory, but now it was the wilderness winter where it was either life or death, so all predators had become irritable.

The bear cub also understood what this group of prey behind it represented.

This was the hope of life!

However, that guy's repeated provocations had already made the bear cub somewhat furious, but unfortunately, it wasn't a free bear now.

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

In fact, after days of life in the rabbit pen, this group of snow hares had slowly gotten used to the scent of the two black bears.

But that was only the scent of the black bears when they weren't in a state of rage.

At this time, with the bear cub's roar of rage, the originally quiet snow hares immediately jumped around in a panic, bumping into walls everywhere.

As for Xiao Yi, who was at the lakeside, he also heard the bear cub's roar not far away; his shelter wasn't far from the edge of Ryan Lake.

However, Xiao Yi didn't care about the bear cub's roar at this time; that clumsy bear would also roar a couple of times on weekdays to show off its bear power.

At this time, Xiao Yi put all his energy and gaze into this big lake before him.

If he could harvest two big fish in this big lake, it would be equivalent to the amount of food brought to him by 10 snow hares.

It was just that what gave Xiao Yi a headache was that the edge of the nearby lake surface had already started to freeze.

These broken ice pieces were the enemy of his fishing line, so Xiao Yi could only look for locations that hadn't frozen yet and had flat terrain to lure fish.

Otherwise, if he didn't catch the fish, his fishing line would break instead, or he would be pulled into the water by the fish, and then he would really cry.

"Hei Dan, let's go; let's look for a good fishing spot!"

Just then, Xiao Yi shouted to Hei Dan on the side, and when he turned his head, he found that Hei Dan was looking toward the direction of the camp.

This made Xiao Yi somewhat suspicious, and he also looked toward the direction of the camp.

There wouldn't really be some big guy eyeing the group of rabbits in his camp, right!

Afterward, Xiao Yi shook his head, not really caring in his heart.

That clumsy bear, although in his, Xiao Yi's, eyes it wasn't much—no, it still had some strength.

But to other animals in the wilderness, that clumsy bear had a very strong deterrent power.

To want to cross that clumsy bear to get the rabbits in his rabbit pen, unless the wolf pack came again.

Otherwise, as long as that clumsy bear hid around the rabbit pen, it wouldn't be easy for anyone to come.

But ever since that time Xiao Yi and the two bears crippled the wolf pack, no wolves had dared to appear around his, Xiao Yi's, camp.

Even lone wolves didn't; wolf packs had a very strong sense of territory.

Other wolf packs wanting to harass Xiao Yi's camp would first have to ensure they weren't discovered by the wolf pack crippled by Xiao Yi, and they would even need to defeat and drive them away.

And that wolf pack crippled by Xiao Yi, although it had lost many members, was still considered a powerful wolf pack now.

As for whether it was the wolf pack crippled by him coming to take revenge, Xiao Yi thought this probability was even smaller.

It was true that wolves were animals with a strong sense of revenge, but wolves were also very sensible and very smart.

They knew who they could provoke and who they couldn't; when they couldn't provoke someone, they knew how to endure.

To want to take revenge on Xiao Yi and these two black bears, unless the wolf pack grew stronger again.

But the growth of the wolf pack was clearly not that easy.

Of course, the most important thing was that after being with the two bears for a long time, Xiao Yi also had some ability to distinguish their roars.

That roar of the clumsy bear just now could at most be considered the clumsy bear noticing something and roaring vigilantly.

If it had really encountered a wolf pack, that clumsy bear shouldn't have had that kind of roar.

After hearing Xiao Yi's call, Hei Dan also reacted.

Afterward, it didn't look toward the direction of the camp and followed Xiao Yi to look for a new fishing spot.

Hei Dan still had great trust in its cunning brother.

Not knowing how far they had walked, Xiao Yi finally found a fishing spot that satisfied him.

Afterward, he used his feet to feel whether the surroundings were too slippery; if he slipped and fell here, he would have to suffer.

Safety first was Xiao Yi's first principle for wilderness survival.
