Chapter 99: Everything Is Over!

With a roar, a massive creature suddenly appeared.

The giant bear that arrived next snarled bloodthirstily toward the lynx.

The one arriving now was Heidan, drawn by Goudan’s roars.

Just as Goudan could find Heidan, Heidan could naturally track Goudan by scent.

“Roar!”

Seeing Heidan arrive, Goudan felt a surge of relief.

Though his younger brother was sometimes foolish, he was still his brother, the King of the Wild.

So only he could bully him—no, now there was also a human—no one else was allowed.

“Roar!”

Heidan, too, noticed Goudan nearby and responded with a roar.

But Heidan’s gaze never left the lynx.

Without hesitation, Heidan charged after the nearby lynx; though each step seemed perilous, Heidan feared nothing.

Goudan “...”

Still the same brute, not one bit improved.

As for the lynx, seeing Heidan’s attack, it showed no hesitation and met it head-on.

The moment the lynx saw Heidan arrive, it knew today was its end.

As one of the wild’s top predators, didn’t the thing have its pride?

The lynx naturally had its own pride; in its eyes burned ferocity, yet its expression remained eerily calm and unflinching as it stared at the two bears.

So, knowing death was certain, the lynx prepared to charge Heidan head-on, trading wounds for wounds.

“Crack!”

Heidan’s paw slammed into the lynx’s body, and the male lynx refused to yield.

It took Heidan’s blow head-on, then bared its fangs and lunged for Heidan’s throat.

This bite was aimed straight at Heidan’s throat, meant to kill in one strike.

But the heavy wounds Goudan had inflicted had robbed it of its peak reflexes.

Even so, the lynx still bit into Heidan’s forelimb.

“Ugh!”

“Howl!”

Fist met flesh, no tricks—both beasts screamed in pain, locked in the most primal struggle, the lynx now spitting blood.

As for Heidan, its condition was no better; after being bitten, its forelimb bled profusely.

Seeing this, Goudan grew anxious, eager to join the fight and help Heidan—but there was no room for it to intervene.

The cliffside rock offered little space for combat; only enough room remained for Heidan and the lynx to fight.

One misstep, and both could slide down the cliff’s slope.

If either Heidan or the lynx fell,

even if they didn’t die, they’d be gravely injured—this was why the lynx had stayed here.

And if Goudan now joined the fight,

it wouldn’t help Heidan—it would only shrink the fighting space, putting all three in danger.

Yet neither Heidan nor the lynx cared for their wounds.

A new round of brutal clashes began; this time, Heidan also bit, aiming for the lynx’s throat.

The lynx, equally determined, blocked Heidan’s jaws with its forelimbs and bit back.

“Crack!”

“Roar!”

“Roar!”

The first sound heard was the lynx’s forelimb snapping.

Heidan’s bite force was unmatched in this wilderness—no creature could withstand it.

Then Heidan’s chest was torn open as the lynx ripped off a chunk of its hide.

Then came the third strike, the fourth, the fifth...

Neither retreated—retreat meant sliding down the cliff.

The lynx’s face was caved in, both forelimbs broken, yet it still roared and charged at Heidan, refusing to yield.

As for Heidan, though mostly suffering superficial wounds, its entire body was now drenched in blood.

“Roar!”

Seeing this, Goudan grew frantic—tell Heidan to retreat!

It would finish the lynx itself; though the thing was despised, Goudan now offered it the respect it deserved.

This was respect for strength—the wild always revered, even feared, the strong.

As for Xiao Yi, he had just arrived, and seeing this scene, he frowned slightly.

“What’s Heidan doing? How did it get itself so wounded again?”

“Hmm? That lynx looks even worse—no wonder it’s the black bear I once raised.”

“Roar!”

Heidan noticed Xiao Yi’s arrival and roared excitedly at him.

But in that moment of distraction, the lynx leapt and bit Heidan’s hind leg, instantly sparking Heidan’s rage—it spun around and lunged at the lynx.

But the lynx had anticipated it; this time, Heidan took a minor hit, adding another gash to its bloody wounds.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi sighed and slapped his forehead, then roared angrily.

“Heidan, you idiot! Can you even focus during a fight? Get back here now!”

“Roar!”

Heidan rarely defied Xiao Yi—but this time, it defied him again.

Heidan’s mind held only one thought: kill this lynx that had shamed it.

Meanwhile, in the livestream, viewers saw this scene and erupted in chaos, many growing excited.

“I swear, there’s my Heidan again—I’ve missed it so much, but look how badly hurt it is!”

“Of course—Heidan is the unluckiest and most reckless bear in this wilderness. Whenever it’s away from Xiao Shen, it ends up wounded?”

“I feel bad for my Heidan—stop fighting, come back! That lynx is dead anyway.”

“It won’t stop—both beasts are locked in a fight to the death. Only one will fall.”

“At this moment, I actually admire this lynx—I’ve finally seen what ‘a cornered beast fights to the end’ really means.”

“Sigh... even if the lynx dies, Heidan won’t come out of this unscathed.”

“Xiao Shen, just smash that lynx with your stick! Don’t let Heidan get hurt anymore!”

“This is so bloody—it’s the real wilderness!”

After Heidan’s departure, Xiao Yi’s livestream audience had declined.

Now that Heidan reappeared on screen, viewers’ excitement was obvious.

But seeing Heidan’s battered state, they all grew heartbroken.

No one had expected today to show so much bloodshed.

Heidan fought fiercely, but the lynx’s gaze suddenly shifted toward Xiao Yi.

“Ugh!”

Then it howled toward the sky—a sound that, though from a different species, carried unmistakable sorrow and lament.

Even the entire wilderness seemed to grow colder, bleaker.

Seeing the lynx’s behavior, Xiao Yi froze, then gripped his bloodied stick, glanced at the grieving lynx,

and muttered to himself, “Did it figure it out? So sensitive...”

As Xiao Yi marveled, the lynx, as if granted a final surge of life, abandoned Heidan and sprinted toward Xiao Yi with a furious roar.

Xiao Yi, instantly alert, reflexively hurled his stick at the charging lynx.

Then... everything ended!
