Hah! Finally, a big one’s come to me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, in Live Room No. 5, Wu En watched the half-stolen moose leg and felt no anger—instead, he burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time Wu En saw on the chat that Xiao Yi was being attacked by a large predator, he felt envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If any other challenger behaved like this, people would think he was insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it’s Wu En, then it’s perfectly normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy is a brute who actively seeks out large predators even when none are around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that a big beast had entered his territory—even though it stole his food—Wu En couldn’t suppress his inner joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Judging by these bite marks, this must be a massive bear. Today, we’ll give our guest a proper welcome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After laughing, Wu En spoke to the viewers of his livestream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this wilderness challenge, he was already growing weary—he missed his wife and son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His promise to be a role model for his son was the belief that kept him here, even though he had a strong chance of winning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could actually hunt down that bear today, he might just choose to leave this hellhole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the prize for staying was tempting, right now he longed to kiss his wife, teach his son horseback riding, and drink and eat meat with a few close friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Wu En’s words, the viewers in Live Room No. 5 grew excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is Wu Shen about to complete the Bear Slaying feat today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a waste of that moose leg! If rationed, it could feed Wu Shen for over half a month!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What dumb bear dared to wander into Wu Shen’s territory? Doesn’t it know Wu Shen is more dangerous than Xiao Shen? Go to Xiao Shen’s place, you might become a pet—come to Wu Shen’s, you’ll be torn apart bone by bone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you all stop hyping yourselves? The bear hasn’t even been found yet! And you’ve watched so much of Xiao Shen that you think bears are harmless now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The guy upstairs is right. Bears have strong defense. I admit Wu Shen’s arrows are accurate, but taking down a bear with one shot is pure fantasy—if the bear closes in, Wu Shen’s in real danger. Not everyone has Xiao Shen’s monstrous strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Wu En was welcoming the bear’s arrival, Xiao Yi continued fishing by the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the ice melted further, today was slightly warmer than the past two days, giving Xiao Yi more options for fishing spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after switching locations several times without a bite, Xiao Yi grew impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Dog Egg, he’d found a relatively dry spot and curled up for a nap, driving Xiao Yi to grit his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This lazy bear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh! Something’s on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Xiao Yi suddenly felt tension on his fishing line—his heart leapt, and he shouted, “Dog Egg, charge!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar! (I don’t understand what you’re saying!)”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Dog Egg only roared back—and didn’t move an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too cold. He refuses. He’s not his stupid little brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi was speechless. This smart dog-thing shouldn’t have been brought out—he’s perfect for guarding the house. Black Egg is better!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Dog Egg’s indifference, Xiao Yi didn’t insist. He even muttered to himself: wouldn’t it be better to leave both bears at home?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least then he wouldn’t keep worrying about the rabbit pen and the dumb Black Egg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped overthinking and focused on wrestling the big fish in the water. Reeling in a fish is a skill—and right now, Xiao Yi was a master at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about Black Egg, the one Xiao Yi had been worrying about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Xiao Yi left with Dog Egg, Black Egg had grown listless and now lay around the rabbit pen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d stand up, peer at the snow rabbits from the east side of the pen, then lie down and stand up again to watch them from the west side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the massive bear face, the snow rabbits panicked and scattered in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their terrified reactions, Black Egg found it amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xiao Yi knew Black Egg was guarding the rabbit pen like this, he’d slap him with two shoe soles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, Black Egg froze in place, sniffed the air toward the distance, then his eyes sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in the dense forest, two lynxes were watching the rabbit pen from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having failed to hunt the black bear yesterday, the lynxes now craved the rabbit pen even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, they planned to attack it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male lynx roared at the female, then sprinted swiftly toward Xiao Yi’s camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One black bear might be too strong to fight head-on—but if they lured it away, as they did yesterday, they might still succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar! Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Black Egg spotted the lynx approaching and let out a furious roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enemies meeting, eyes blazing with rage—Black Egg charged forward immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he remembered Xiao Yi’s stern warning before leaving—and his rage cooled instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lynx, seeing it was Black Egg, felt its confidence surge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d spent considerable time here and knew the bears’ personalities well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous black bear guarding this place was extremely cautious. They weren’t even sure they could provoke it into leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this one? Different story. This was a stupid, easily provoked bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the lynx appeared to be charging forward, it was already ready to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this black bear dared to chase, it would run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to the lynx’s utter disbelief, even as it closed to within ten meters of Black Egg, the bear didn’t budge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stared at each other. The lynx felt awkward—daring to advance was out of the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though confident in its speed, it never underestimated a black bear’s explosive power—even one it could see was injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, it seethed: When did this black bear get so calm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Egg’s eyes burned with fury—he wanted to crush this arrogant creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Yi’s parting words held greater power over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sss! Sss! Sss!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the bear and lynx faced off, the snow rabbits in the pen were terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear alone had already shaken them—now they smelled the lynx’s scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the pen, the sound of snow rabbits slamming into wooden boards echoed in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rabbits’ noises made the lynx even greedier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greedy as it was, the lynx didn’t know what to do now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attacking the pen directly? It dared not—it would lose its speed and become prey in bear’s jaws.\u003C\u002Fp>",1089,"2026-06-20T08:19:46.963Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a889a95d96f25b19dd2ba341004f7384de73e9fa9fa4c5f791f8029a0097c2df","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-89","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-87",366,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-cover.jpg"]
