Chapter 84

'Roar!'

'Roar!'

Night fell, and the sound of melting snow still lingered around; at this moment, Gou Dan was restlessly roaring.

At this time, Xiao Yi also slightly frowned—what was that fool Hei Dan up to?

He wouldn’t really cling to that big cat until they both collapsed from exhaustion, would he?

Of course, Xiao Yi never even considered the possibility that Hei Dan might be killed by that big cat.

How could that happen? They weren’t even in the same weight class—if a bear got killed by a lynx, that bear was just useless.

But since Hei Dan didn’t come back, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but feel uneasy, and suddenly the fish soup in his bowl didn’t taste good anymore.

After returning, Xiao Yi had immediately boiled the ten-pound white pike, and used the remaining fish meat to make smoked fish.

After drying, smoked fish could last for half a year in a well-ventilated place, and right now it was winter in the Arctic Circle—it might last even longer.

If he could catch more fish in the next few days, maybe after the show ended, he could invite the rescue team coming to pick him up to eat smoked fish!

'Stop yelling—if you want to go, go find Hei Dan!'

Gou Dan’s yelling was getting on Xiao Yi’s nerves, so he called out toward Gou Dan.

Sure enough, upon hearing Xiao Yi’s voice, Gou Dan stopped roaring, finished gnawing the leftover fish head, and dashed straight into the wilderness.

'What a touching scene of brotherly love!'

At this moment, Xiao Yi silently sighed, then ignored the two dumb bears.

As for whether Gou Dan could find Hei Dan, Xiao Yi believed this dumb bear had his own way.

If after the two bear brothers reunited, they still ended up in mortal danger, then fine—just boil them!

After that, Xiao Yi didn’t think further, turned, and walked toward the heated brick bed—isn’t sleeping after a full meal the best thing?

But after Hei Dan left, the live stream chat exploded.

'Is anyone from the production team there? We don’t want to watch Xiao Shen sleep—we want to see Xiong Zai searching for Hei Dan.'

'Exactly! What’s there to see in Xiao Shen sleeping? If the drone doesn’t follow Xiong Zai, I’m uninstalling Yinfu App.'

'Uninstall Yinfu App!'

'Uninstall Yinfu App!'

'Uninstall Yinfu App!'

…

…

'Welcome to Tencent Short Video!'

'Get lost!'

At this moment, the live stream chat for Xiao Yi’s channel was flooded with comments demanding the drone follow Xiong Zai.

Meanwhile, in the control room, many staff members also frowned, and someone finally spoke up.

'Mr. Li, what should we do now?'

Hearing this, Li Yong scratched his head, feeling a headache coming on—were these bastards trying to make him lose the last of his hair?

He knew full well that many viewers in the main stream were just stirring up trouble, but what if someone actually did uninstall the app out of anger?

Remember, Xiao Yi’s stream had over ten million viewers—even if just one in fifty actually did it, the higher-ups would never forgive him.

'Follow—control the drone to track Xiong Zai!'

Then Li Yong muttered to himself, 'With this kid’s strength, even if no one’s monitoring the drone’s backend, nothing should go wrong—just for once, kid, sleep properly.'

Seeing the drone leave, Xiao Yi was stunned—what kind of show was this?

How did a wilderness challenge turn into a nature documentary? Isn’t I, Xiao Yi, the main character?

But he didn’t care anymore—let it go! He wasn’t some exhibitionist.

For the past month, except when he went to the toilet, that damn drone hadn’t left his side for a second.

Sometimes Xiao Yi even complained, 'If you’re so brave, follow me into the toilet too!'

Now that the drone was following Xiong Zai, he suddenly smelled freedom.

Ten million views really aren’t easy to earn!

…

…

After leaving Xiao Yi’s camp, Gou Dan kept sniffing the air.

Then he sprinted deep into the dense forest, and at some point stopped—before him lay a small clump of bear fur.

Clearly, he was extremely sensitive to Hei Dan’s scent; even a single stray hair was enough to trace his path.

'Gou Dan has been searching for Hei Dan so long—could Hei Dan really be in trouble?'

'What nonsense! Do you think a single lynx can take down Hei Dan? Do you have no idea how strong a bear is?'

'But what if there are multiple lynxes? Like that wolf pack that surrounded Hei Dan!'

'No way—lynxes are solitary by nature, completely different from wolves. Even when they live together, it’s only two adults with cubs. Two lynxes trying to kill Hei Dan? The odds are practically zero.'

…

…

Watching Gou Dan search for a long time without finding Hei Dan, viewers in the live stream grew anxious.

Through this period of Xiao Yi’s stream, the reckless Hei Dan had gained quite a few fans.

'Roar!'

'Roar!'

'Ugh!'

'Ugh!'

At this moment, distant roars of bears echoed through the stream, accompanied by a pig-like squeal.

'Roar!'

At this moment, Gou Dan responded with a roar and sprinted toward the sound’s source.

As for Hei Dan himself, he was in a sorry state—his paw was stuck in a crack; though he could rotate it, no matter how hard he pulled, he couldn’t free it, and his hind legs were now bloody from the strain.

Not far from Hei Dan, two lynxes circled warily.

Though they wanted to attack the black bear immediately, they feared his bite force and paw strikes.

Their attacks, unless they bit his neck or other vital spots, could only wound him—but if they got bitten or slapped by him during the attack, they could die.

The two lynxes didn’t want to risk it—they only wanted to wait until the bear was utterly exhausted, then deliver a fatal blow.

But the distant bear roars disrupted their plan.

The two lynxes instantly bared their fangs, yet hesitated, wary of the bear roars coming from afar.

'Roar (Brother)!'

Sure enough, hearing Gou Dan’s roar, Hei Dan perked up instantly, his gaze toward the two lynxes turning even more ferocious.

To be fair, Hei Dan had been unlucky—he’d relentlessly chased the male lynx, forcing it to flee toward the cliff.

During the chase, Hei Dan stepped directly onto a snow-covered crevice.

No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn’t pull his paw free.

Afterward, the male lynx let out a long howl and called another lynx—but even with two of them, they still feared Hei Dan, and could only stand guard, trying to ambush.

'Roar!'

Gou Dan now arrived at the cliff, and seeing the terrain, he winced.

My stupid brother—when will you ever get smart?

The wide open wilderness is our domain—why did you get lured into such a steep place?

Then Gou Dan noticed the two lynxes and Hei Dan’s situation, and with a fierce expression, charged at the lynxes.
