Chapter 96

At this moment, Xiao Yi finally understood why he had been so serious in warning Blackie that day.

In the end, even though Blackie was always obedient, he still didn’t listen.

After the lynx invaded, he chose to chase after that lynx.

Speaking of which, if Doggie had been guarding the home that day, given today’s situation…

It would’ve been Doggie, not Blackie, who got scolded and driven away first.

The current situation has nothing to do with whether the two bears were obedient or intelligent, nor is it merely because this lynx is truly despicable.

It’s because this lynx is now challenging the black bear’s authority as the wilderness sovereign.

As long as any bear still retains its wild nature, none can remain utterly rational at such a moment.

Even Doggie, the smartest bear of the clan, would choose to strike out now.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi let out a faint sigh: “Ah! Poor unlucky Blackie! You’re dumb enough already, yet you’re also this unlucky—truly inexplicable.”

Before, it was always Doggie who guarded the home, yet the lynx never once invaded the rabbit pen.

But on Blackie’s very first day guarding, he encountered this disgusting lynx.

“Hnn!”

Just after the two bears and the lynx vanished into the deep forest, another lynx leapt out swiftly from the woods and headed straight for the rabbit pen.

Seeing this second lynx appear, Xiao Yi’s mind went hazy—he instantly recalled the scene of the lynx rampaging through the rabbit pen that day.

It all fits! Everything now makes sense!

Through deduction and what he was witnessing, Xiao Yi could now roughly piece together the entire sequence of events Blackie had endured that day.

Indeed, the lynx truly deserves the reputation of being the creature even wolves bow to as “Big Brother.”

The intelligence of these two lynxes left Xiao Yi feeling intrigued.

Now Xiao Yi realized he had seriously underestimated the wild animals of the wilderness.

The fact that they still survived in this blood-soaked wilderness every day meant they each had their own hidden tricks.

But no matter how cunning they were, today they were just unlucky.

Xiao Yi intended to give these two lynxes a proper lesson—some things in the wilderness must never be touched.

If they lacked this awareness, they might pay with their lives.

But now wasn’t the time for Xiao Yi to appear—he was too far from the lynx, and he needed the lynx to lower its guard.

Yet the wooden stick in Xiao Yi’s hand gripped tighter.

Or rather, what he held now wasn’t even a stick anymore—it was more accurately a wooden spear.

Because he had sharpened one end to increase its lethality.

Xiao Yi had no ranged weapons, but his strength was immense and his aim precise—his throwing power surpassed that of any bow and arrow.

The lynx, of course, had no awareness that danger was drawing near.

At this moment, the lynx’s eyes held only the rabbit pen.

As for Xiao Yi, he was stealthily closing in on the lynx.

In truth, if he could kill this lynx today, Xiao Yi wouldn’t mind losing a few snow rabbits.

After all, he’d never tasted lynx meat—didn’t know what it tasted like.

But upon seeing this scene, the online viewers erupted in shock at the lynxes’ cunning.

“Damn! Looks like my Xiong Zai is gonna get taken down today—Xiao Shen’s gonna be furious! These two lynxes are absolutely ruthless!”

“Shit! When I was a kid, elders told stories about forest animals being even craftier than humans—I thought those were just fairy tales! Now I see how shallow I was.”

“Feigning a frontal assault while secretly flanking! These lynxes must’ve studied military tactics!”

“Now I get why Blackie lost—it’s not just that his opponent was cunning, he was a tactician!”

“Animals outsmart humans series—I wouldn’t have even thought of this trick.”

“Cough, cough—thinking of this trick doesn’t mean you’d have the ability to pull it off. If you were the bait, Xiong Zai might even get too full to move.”

“Ah! Poor Blackie! Forget Blackie and Doggie—even I can’t help wanting to kill this sneaky lynx right now. It’s just too despicable.”

“Poor Blackie!”

“Poor Blackie!”

……

……

“Sss! Sss! Sss!”

The snow rabbits in the pen screamed in terror again, scattering everywhere.

But it did no good—the pen had become even more secure.

The sound just heard triggered painful memories in the rabbits.

As the lynx drew closer, the rabbits naturally caught its scent, plunging the pen into greater chaos.

The lynx leapt up and landed directly on the pen’s netting.

Then it began tearing at it with its sharp teeth.

Last time, it had entered the pen this way—and even destroyed the entire net.

Inside the pen, the snow rabbits trembled in fear as they saw the lynx above them—this was a primal, bloodline-induced terror.

But this time, the lynx hadn’t anticipated the netting being far more resilient.

Last time, Xiao Yi hadn’t just repaired the net—he’d added extra mesh layers, increasing its density.

The lynx was growing impatient now—it didn’t know when the bear would return, and this time it had to take away more food.

Facing the black bear wasn’t without danger; this might even be their final visit here.

After all, they were now fully targeted by a black bear—tomorrow, both bears might hunt them as prey.

Facing pursuit from two black bears, even with their experience evading one, they’d be plunged into endless trouble—and might be forced to flee this area entirely.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi, taking advantage of the lynx tearing at the net, crept closer slowly, cautious and even more careful.

The lynx was now within Xiao Yi’s throwing range—but Xiao Yi stopped walking.

If he moved any closer, he feared the lynx might sense him—and that could backfire.

After all, a stationary target is the easiest to hit!

Xiao Yi held only three sharpened wooden spears, and he might get only three chances to throw.

If the first throw missed, he had time for a second. If the second missed, a normal human’s speed and reaction would let the lynx escape the range.

But he was Xiao Yi—his burst speed wasn’t much slower than the lynx’s, giving him a third chance.

But if all three missed, killing this lynx would become truly difficult—they’d be on guard.

Though Xiao Yi was confident in his throwing skill, his palms were now sweating.

After steadying his resolve, he gripped the spear tightly and fixed his gaze on the lynx.

With a short sprint, the thick wooden spear flew from his hand—like an arrow, slicing through the air with a “whoosh.”

Even viewers in the livestream could hear the sound of the spear tearing through the air.

Imagine how powerful and forceful Xiao Yi’s throw was!

At the very instant the spear flew, the lynx, just moments ago biting the net, suddenly bristled with fear—its fur stood on end.

It was an animal’s instinctive sense of danger.
