How would that look for my reputation as Xiao Shen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the big thing struggling with him in the water, occasionally splashing to the surface, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, he had waited over half an hour without a single bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To make his lure fishing more efficient, Xiao Yi had spent three free attribute points to upgrade his lure technique to max level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with all skill points invested, his lure technique was on par with Master Gong Lei’s level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how skilled you are, you still need fish in the water—if there aren’t any, even the best lure technique will end in air fishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half an hour of waiting, Xiao Yi finally landed his first catch of the day; if he hadn’t caught anything, he’d have moved to another spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar! Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiao Yi hook a fish, Hei Dan excitedly barked twice, but when he saw Xiao Yi locked in a stalemate with the fish, he impulsively charged into the water, trying to snatch the big one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Hei Dan was a bit clumsy, he was definitely a strong swimmer and a skilled fisher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing this, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but slap his own forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted loudly, “Hei Dan, get your ass back here—are you trying to die?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dog was a pure, unrepentant fool—but Xiao Yi loved fools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, Hei Dan was a great swimmer, but this water was freezing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t some distant cousin of the polar bear with extreme cold resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! Oh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure enough, the moment he hit the water, Hei Dan flailed for a few seconds, then let out two barks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those barks trembled slightly—he clearly hadn’t expected the water to be this cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the big fish on the lure, startled by Hei Dan’s sudden entry, struggled even harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xiao Yi, he had no interest in dealing with the dumb bear—he figured it needed a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worst case, he’d go home and throw a feast—bear meat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Hei Dan was stubborn—even with the cold water, he kept swimming fiercely toward the still-struggling fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this, Xiao Yi was speechless—this guy was the textbook definition of a fool who’d risk his life for food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this dog had actually saved Xiao Yi a lot of effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hei Dan reached the fish, dove under, then leapt up, his jaws clamped firmly on the big fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the bear’s head and the fish break the surface, Xiao Yi smiled inwardly, slowly reeling in—but still shouted a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hei Dan, take it easy—if you break my line, I’ll slaughter you today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hei Dan slowly swam to shore, and only then did Xiao Yi get a full look at the fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fish he’d just caught was a pike—Xiao Yi estimated it weighed at least thirty catties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, Xiao Yi had played the big fish for a long time; otherwise, a thirty-catty monster might’ve been too much for Hei Dan to pull up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulling the fish ashore—one solid whack—he was very practiced at this move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the elegant gutting—yanking out the inedible gallbladder and tossing it straight to Hei Dan, living up to his name, “The Butcher Xiao Yi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Hei Dan’s appetite had become extremely picky—he didn’t even glance at the gallbladder Xiao Yi threw, instead shaking the water from his fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi was furious—had this dog gotten too full of himself? Didn’t even want food anymore?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he’d worked hard just now, fine—he could skip it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though this fish didn’t match the pike Xiao Yi caught when he first arrived, it was still a true giant of the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now Xiao Yi wasn’t worried about the blood attracting bigger predators—he and Hei Dan were here, and any big thing that showed up was just dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Xiao Yi dissected the fish and cast his lure back into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, he expected no quick bites—Hei Dan’s plunge into the water had surely scared off countless big fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, catching a thirty-catty fish today made this hunting trip worthwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, he waited over two more hours, his whole body growing numb with cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night was falling, and just as Xiao Yi was about to pack up and head home, he suddenly felt a strong tug on the line—he instantly grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, this one’s got serious power! Hei Dan, get in there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Hei Dan was clearly unhappy—he’d jumped in before knowing how cold it was; now that he knew, why would he go again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, his body had just warmed up, so at Xiao Yi’s shout, he shivered involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, where’d that boldness go? You’re embarrassing the bear clan! Catch this big one, we’ll go home and eat fish meat and drink fish soup—hurry up…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Splash!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xiao Yi finished speaking, Hei Dan charged into the water again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hei Dan didn’t understand most of what Xiao Yi said—but he caught the word “eat.” That was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi stared, then muttered inwardly, “This dog’s brain is nothing but food.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon enough, Hei Dan surfaced again, another big fish in his jaws—this one struggled harder than the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t as large as the previous one—still no small fish, at least ten or twelve catties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long struggle, Hei Dan finally subdued it and dragged it ashore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up close, Xiao Yi saw it was another pike—he and pike were clearly meant for each other today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And judging by their size, these two pike might even be father and son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One whack, gutted and cleaned—same technique, different fish. Xiao Yi was now thoroughly proficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Xiao Yi’s skill, Hei Dan shuddered beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, when shaking off the water, he instinctively stepped a few paces farther away from Xiao Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Hei Dan had even finished shaking his fur, he suddenly let out a roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he bolted toward a distant earth slope, making Xiao Yi, who was still gutting the fish, jerk his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted angrily, “What the hell are you barking at? Get back here—what are you doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, Hei Dan stubbornly ignored Xiao Yi and kept charging forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xiao Yi frowned slightly, then turned to look at the slope Hei Dan had run toward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, so there’s another big one tailing them? No wonder Hei Dan got so agitated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Xiao Yi clearly saw the big creature behind the slope—but something about it felt oddly familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it hit him—it was that big cat from before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature on the slope immediately turned and fled. As a top predator of the wild, it had just made a fatal mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to resist the lure of distant blood, its hunger had clouded its judgment, triggering its animal instincts and accidentally revealing its scent—letting the black bear catch wind of it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1163,"2026-06-20T08:19:46.963Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","455a53990f3a95439a17b960f80a1347ba136c8ff41f4a1ef88e82d983698b28","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-83","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-81",366,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-cover.jpg"]
