Mmm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiong Zai sprinting toward them, the two lynxes both felt inner turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, bear meat was right before their eyes; with enough time, the death of this black bear was almost certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the two lynxes roared angrily at Xiong Zai, but their roars clearly had no intimidating effect on the enraged bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, the two lynxes glanced at the still-struggling Hei Dan, then chose to slink away toward the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the black bear trapped in the crack and injured, they still had a slim chance to hunt it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But facing a strong, unobstructed black bear, their only choice was to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar! Roar! (Dear brother, you’re here!)”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Xiong Zai sprint toward him, Hei Dan forgot his injuries and couldn’t help roaring twice—this time, he was safe again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xiong Zai, it ignored Hei Dan entirely, chased hundreds of meters until the lynxes vanished from sight, then slowed its pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, it roared angrily at Hei Dan again—this foolish younger brother, when would he ever make the bear family proud?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two lynxes had nearly gotten it into such danger—what a disgrace to the bear clan’s reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Xiong Zai slowly approached Hei Dan, trying to use its paws to push aside some rocks so Hei Dan’s trapped paw could be freed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly, Xiong Zai had underestimated the rocks’ hardness; no matter how hard it pushed, the crack remained unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience in the livestream had seen everything just now, and now they understood why Hei Dan had been gone so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My poor, unlucky Hei Dan! Chasing lynxes and ending up injured and trapped!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The cliffs under heavy snow are far too dangerous—no one knows where cracks hide. Hei Dan was lucky just to get its paw stuck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why is it always my Hei Dan getting hurt! So pitiful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Xiong Zai hadn’t come to rescue it, Hei Dan might have been the most miserable bear to ever die—or at least among the top.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the current situation isn’t good either! Look, Xiong Zai is smart, but even it can’t do anything here—unless Xiao Shen comes with tools.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly! Xiong Zai, go find Xiao Shen right away! You can’t save Hei Dan alone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another attempt, Xiong Zai grew anxious—but it had also thought of that seemingly omnipotent human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Xiao Yi had once rescued Hei Dan from death, Xiong Zai had unconsciously grown dependent on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the two lynxes, after fleeing, still hadn’t given up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had pretended to escape, but now circled back and hid in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, they didn’t believe Hei Dan could escape—and this trapped bear would eventually die and become food. They had plenty of patience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could the lynxes’ scent escape Xiong Zai’s nose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Xiong Zai dared not move—because if it left now to seek Xiao Yi’s help,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>those two hungry lynxes would surely risk attacking Hei Dan, having already witnessed its rescue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they continued this stalemate, Hei Dan’s fate would still be slow death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Zai, having lived its whole life in the wild, knew too well what injury meant in the cold winter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One night passed, and Hei Dan’s injured leg might be lost for good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bear missing a leg could only become prey for other large hunters—or starve to death from inability to hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though risky, Xiong Zai had to try terrifying the two lynxes into leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After one roar, it ignored Hei Dan entirely and charged straight toward the lynxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Hei Dan panicked, even feared—frantically calling for Xiong Zai to return, but Xiong Zai paid no attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This foolish younger brother shouldn’t know its plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lynxes hiding in the shadows were startled by Xiong Zai’s charge and turned to flee again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, Xiong Zai didn’t chase far—it stopped, then turned and charged with lethal intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made the male lynx panic—was it facing another brainless bear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had encountered other bears in the wild before, and had been chased by them too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But whenever other bears realized they couldn’t catch it, they’d willingly give up, roar a warning, and leave in peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who had ever seen bears like these two—charging straight at each other without reason?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among top wild predators, there was usually mutual understanding—knowing when to stop, unless one was severely injured or protecting cubs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, neither side usually ended up on the other’s menu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the black bear still relentlessly chasing, the lynxes let out a long, helpless cry—they didn’t want to directly clash with Xiong Zai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the male lynx had already endured a “long-distance race” with Hei Dan and hadn’t fully recovered its strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, one bear chased two lynxes across the snowy wilderness, beginning another “long-distance race.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Zai was slower than the lynxes, but its sense of smell was sharp—it always tracked their location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the lynxes couldn’t see the black bear, they could smell its scent behind them—so one chased, one ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when the lynxes could no longer sense the black bear’s presence did they finally slow to a stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male lynx was nearly collapsed from exhaustion, gasping heavily—anyone would be worn out after being chased by two bears in succession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the two lynxes remained alert, watching behind them, fearing the bear might return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what of Xiong Zai now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chasing the lynxes for miles, Xiong Zai turned around and sprinted straight toward Xiao Yi’s camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lynxes were only thinking how to escape the bear behind them—they never imagined it would change course mid-chase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The livestream audience, seeing this, were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did Xiao Shen teach Xiong Zai The Art of War?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This bear is incredible, incredible—it’s truly become a spirit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, those two lynxes will probably drop dead from exhaustion never imagining Xiong Zai would switch paths to summon help!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Previously, bears were seen as fierce, brutal, and simple-minded; lynxes as cunning and vengeful. Now it’s clear fixed impressions can kill—this bear is no fool.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the livestream audience hadn’t expected Xiong Zai to chase the lynxes for miles, then suddenly switch paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all assumed Xiong Zai was seeking revenge on the lynxes, relentlessly pursuing them—but now it was clear some animals were truly intelligent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not all of them were as dumb as Hei Dan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xiong Zai wasn’t feeling well either—searching for Hei Dan, chasing lynxes, now sprinting back and forth to camp—if not for its determination to save Hei Dan, it couldn’t have endured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar! Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sss! Sss!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it neared camp, Xiong Zai began roaring loudly for Xiao Yi, terrifying all the snow rabbits in their enclosure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snow rabbits: “Here it comes again! Here it comes again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time was critical—without lynxes, other large predators would come. Arrive too late, and bear meat would already be on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>",1149,"2026-06-20T08:19:46.963Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","81feb28b0643f4c379319a8dc9828d19d969f69ec61efd2e2291a14144601c23","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-86","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-84",366,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-cover.jpg"]
