Chapter 89: The Unbearable Black Egg!

“Take one small step forward!”

“Take another small step forward!”

In the end, the lynx could not resist the temptation of the snow rabbits in the pen beside it.

After all, it was separated from that group of snow rabbits by only a single wall—how could such a hungry lynx withstand such temptation under these circumstances?

At this moment, the male lynx was walking a tightrope, constantly testing the limits of Black Egg’s patience and provoking it to hunt.

As for Black Egg, it was also suppressing its urge to attack; the serious image of Xiao Yi leaving lingered in its mind.

Black Egg had not expected this lynx would dare to ignore it so brazenly, and now was endlessly provoking it.

Has it already forgotten who the true ruler of this wilderness is?

“Just a little closer—just a tiny bit closer!”

Although Black Egg remembered Xiao Yi’s instructions to patrol only around the rabbit pen, if it killed a lynx without leaving the camp’s boundaries, Xiao Yi probably wouldn’t blame it.

So, at this moment, Black Egg had its own hidden thoughts—it was calculating how far the lynx still was from the perfect killing distance, and if it reached within range…

As for the lynx at this moment, it too felt uneasy; it naturally knew the danger of such actions.

One misstep, and today it might end up in a bear’s mouth.

But this bear was too calm today; to secure the prey here, it had no choice but to risk provoking the black bear and luring it away.

After all, risk brings reward!

“Roar!”

Just as the lynx took another small step forward, Black Egg suddenly roared and lunged.

The lynx, which had been moving forward, was fully alert—and the instant Black Egg moved, it bolted backward.

Black Egg’s injured hind leg ultimately hampered its explosive power.

At this distance, Black Egg had always been confident it could kill any creature with one strike.

But this time, its paw merely brushed past the damned lynx.

When Black Egg pushed off with its hind leg, a faint pain slowed it by just a second.

“Ugh! Ugh!”

The fleeing lynx, still shaken, let out several terrified cries.

So close—just a hair’s breadth away; in that instant, the lynx had even smelled the breath of death.

Black Egg, having missed its strike, gave half-hearted chase for two steps; seeing the lynx grow farther away, it stopped and slowly returned to patrol around the rabbit pen.

The male lynx, sensing Black Egg was no longer pursuing, felt a mix of fear and frustration, then halted.

After a moment of inner turmoil, it ran again toward Black Egg.

“Roar! Roar!”

Black Egg had always had a violent temper; this renewed provocation from the lynx stirred its anger.

But Xiao Yi’s warning voice once again took effect—it wanted to kill this endlessly provoking lynx, yes, but it feared Xiao Yi’s dark expression more.

…

…

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi, fishing by the lake, heard Black Egg’s distant roars.

He had just caught a ten-pound Arctic trout, leaving him quite satisfied.

But hearing Black Egg’s roars made him frown slightly.

“What’s this stupid bear up to? Just stay put and rest—why the hell is it roaring? When I get back, I’ll have to give it a proper scolding for ruining my fishing mood.”

Dog Egg, who had just been dozing nearby, now stood up at the sound of the roar.

It heard anger in its foolish brother’s roar.

But it wasn’t even allowed to go hunting—why would it be this furious? Pathetic!

…

…

Dog Egg couldn’t guess that Black Egg’s anger didn’t stem from being left behind on the hunt.

It was because of that damned lynx, repeatedly challenging its authority.

At this moment, the male lynx returned to about ten meters from Black Egg, then approached step by step again.

But this time it was smarter—it knew Black Egg’s explosive attack range, and now taunted it right at the critical threshold.

Black Egg still had its violent temper; even knowing it was difficult to kill the damned lynx from this distance, it was willing to try attacking again.

This time, its paw still came within centimeters of the lynx’s head—but those few centimeters were enough for the lynx to escape once more.

The lynx now seemed to be playing with fire, yet it was undeniably bold.

Returning to its starting point again, Black Egg could no longer suppress its killing intent; Xiao Yi’s scolding voice was slowly fading from its mind.

As for the lynx, it once again moved to that dangerous distance.

Though it sensed danger, the lynx no longer felt the initial unease or fear—it was even excited, like a gambler betting everything.

“Roar! Roar!”

At this moment, Black Egg’s reason was completely drowned by rage; after all, it was a violent black bear—even a human would not ignore such provocation.

Black Egg chose to strike again—but this time, after missing, it did not return to its original spot. Instead, like yesterday, it began to relentlessly chase the lynx.

This time, it would kill that damned lynx.

Hearing the black bear’s furious roars behind it, the lynx felt a surge of joy.

It even slowed its pace slightly, afraid that if the black bear lost sight of it, it might turn back toward the rabbit pen.

Soon, the bear and the lynx vanished from the camp.

The instant the two wild giants disappeared, another lynx burst from deep within the forest, racing straight toward the rabbit pen.

“Sss! Sss! Sss!”

The rabbits in the pen were now terrified to the extreme; the mere presence of the bear and lynx had nearly suffocated them with fear.

Only after sensing both the bear’s and lynx’s scents vanish did they slowly calm down.

But before they could settle for long, they smelled the lynx’s scent again—and the entire pen erupted into chaos once more.

…

…

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi, hearing Black Egg’s frequent roars, frowned even deeper.

“Could that stupid bear be in trouble?”

He lost all interest in fishing and called out to Dog Egg nearby.

“Dog Egg, let’s head home and check!”

Dog Egg had already been impatient; upon hearing Black Egg’s repeated roars, it had felt uneasy.

This foolish brother never gave it a moment’s peace!

As for Xiao Yi’s livestream, viewers were buzzing—his lakeside location was not far from his own camp.

Walking back quickly would take only twenty minutes, so the audience could clearly hear Black Egg’s roars.

“What’s wrong with Black Egg? Is it in heat? Xiao Shen, be careful!”

“Say that to Xiao Shen’s face and you’d probably get beaten to death—but the mating season for maple black bears is around June–July, and that’s already passed.”

“Right, it’s definitely not heat. Black Egg’s roar sounds violent, just like when it fought the wolf pack—that night I was watching Xiao Shen’s livestream.”

“Damn, are the wolves coming back for revenge? Is Black Egg fighting them right now?”

“Who knows? Xiao Shen, get back quick!”

“Xiao Shen, hurry home!”

“Xiao Shen, hurry home—today might be another good show!”
