Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness

“What is this kid trying to do?”

Bi Fang’s instructions to the audience were still clear in their minds; he had repeatedly cautioned Etienne not to go ashore, just to stay in the center of the lake, but now why had he suddenly started the paraglider to go ashore?

A wave of tension gripped countless viewers.

In the half-hour that Bi Fang had been gone, Etienne’s recollections and narratives of the past had already made everyone like this brave and strong French boy.

The online friends had understood Etienne’s feelings for the geese, his efforts and perseverance, and were deeply touched by it, and now seeing Etienne going ashore, they were genuinely afraid that something would happen to him.

This worry wasn’t unfounded; accidents in Bi Fang’s live streams were all too common, so much so that it would be embarrassing to say you’d been to the wilderness without experiencing something unexpected.

Eating a rabbit could lead to an encounter with a Black Bear, even snacking on spicy strips might result in meeting a prehistoric creature, and what was supposed to be a simple desert trip could turn into a cave exploration adventure —what couldn’t happen?

Of course, this was also related to Bi Fang’s tendency to take the initiative in dangerous situations. You couldn’t say he was courting death, just that he was skilled and very brave. He would often go towards danger, but there was no doubt that the wilderness was truly perilous, and it was very easy to lose one’s life out there.

Faint-hearted viewers even developed a fear of the wilderness. In their eyes, dangers lurked everywhere outside, with Black Bears and wild wolves at every turn, and for Etienne to set foot on land was to step into Hell!

But when Etienne got ashore, making a wide detour to the bushes where the geese were, everyone was shocked and couldn’t believe their eyes.

Less than fifteen meters away from the bushes where the geese stayed, there stood a massive rock, and right now, on this boulder, a big cat appeared!

In the setting sun, every strand of fur on the big cat sparkled like crystal, and the tuft of short hair at the tip of its ears stood upright like needle points, while the long hair on its cheeks fluttered in the wind.

Sharp claws were embedded in the rock, and no one doubted the power of those paws. They were blades that could easily rip through human throats!

[It’s a lynx!]

[Damn, a lynx?]

Someone in the live chat recognized this animal and was even clear about its prowess.

[I studied biology, I’ve seen this animal. It is a medium-sized predator, although the lynx itself only weighs twenty to thirty kilograms, it can hunt animals over fifty kilograms!]

[Medium-sized feline species have never been recorded killing humans, but a short-tailed cat about one meter in length can hunt 150-pound mule deer, and the Eurasian lynx even has a record of killing 400-pound elks!]

A set of gruesome data was laid out in front of everyone, and they all knew.

It doesn’t eat humans.

But that doesn’t mean the lynx lacks the ability to attack!

The online friends became anxious, as being watched by a wild animal was so unsettling.

[It’s over, Old Fang isn’t here!]

[Why go ashore in such danger? Wind tight, pull call!]

[Quickly call Old Fang! ]

[It’s no use, Old Fang can’t see the barrage!]

[Etienne, hurry back, go back!]

[Right, Etienne hurry back!]

[Danger!]

Many online friends immediately thought of calling Bi Fang, then realized the next second that Bi Fang didn’t have the drone with him and couldn’t see the barrage!

It was a checkmate situation, with the drone present they couldn’t see the barrage, and without it, they couldn’t see what was happening!

In fact, Bi Fang could see the barrage, but at this moment he was at a crucial point in the hunt; the barrage had been blocked long ago, all his focus was on the reindeer, and he wasn’t aware of the situation here at all.

Moreover, according to his thinking, as long as Etienne just stayed put in the center of the lake, he wouldn’t encounter any danger.

But an unexpected event occurred!

A lynx had stealthily approached, wanting to eat the geese!

Etienne cared about these eighteen geese more than anyone else, and he also spotted the lynx before anyone else!

He dared not sound the whistle, nor dared to drive the paraglider over. He was afraid his actions and noises would startle the lynx and make it pounce on and hunt the geese before they could react.

He couldn’t accept the loss of any one of them.

His heart was pounding fiercely as Etienne walked towards the lynx, this movement stirring everyone’s spirit.

Lynx!

Reindeer!

Bi Fang!

Etienne!

Prey and hunter, man and beast!

On the left screen, Bi Fang was fully engaged in hunting a large elk; on the right screen, the young man cautiously confronted the beast!

In that moment, the world seemed to spin, and people could no longer discern their place in nature—were we mighty or were we weak?

Why were we standing at the top of the food chain one second, and the next, turning into fish on the chopping board?

The most primitive, most violent conflict—this was the destiny born into every creature!

The wind howled around them, deep and vast, like a wolf’s long howl under the moon or as if beasts and demons were roaring, ready to leap out of the void and tear everything apart.

Nature was cruel by birth; no one could truly stand invincible, not even the powerful prehistoric Tyrannosaurus, which would one day be exterminated by nature.

Etienne, wearing a long robe, clutched the hunting knife given to him by Bi Fang, his legs shaking as he stood before the goose.

The lynx was just fifteen meters away; Etienne’s entire body reacted to the stress, feeling as if he were being pricked by needles, his skin breaking out in goosebumps that seemed ready to jump out!

The large cat stared intently at Etienne, its easy prey, the goose, now blocked; even though the creature before it was more than double its size, it still let out an angry roar.

“Huff, huff, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.”

In his heart, Etienne silently encouraged himself, remembering Bi Fang’s teachings and strived to stand firm while opening his long robe to make himself look bigger.

When a wild beast confronts you, never run; it’s actually observing you. If you run, it’ll know you’re scared and chase you, biting at your heels.

Wild beasts can smell your fear; the more afraid you are, the more excited they become!

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, it’s not that big.”

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, you can eat slowly.”

Bi Fang was buried entirely in the snow, minimizing his movements.

The light of the setting sun slowly faded, with the great sun about to sink below the horizon, the last of its light setting the clouds ablaze like fire amidst the deepening dusk, Bi Fang’s gaze shining like a torch.

Fifteen meters, just fifteen meters, not even as long as a train car!

Bi Fang could even smell the scent of grass from the reindeer’s mouth, faint and lingering.

Like the reindeer’s mood, it was hurt but cared for by companions. There was just not enough to eat, and as the weather grew colder, the grass became drier, like the cotton it had eaten; perhaps the grass farther away was tenderer?

The reindeer walked further and further away, closer and closer at the same time.

Bi Fang held the short spear, his breath nearly stopping, every muscle in his body reacting in this moment.

Finally, the reindeer lowered its head.

Now was the time!

The will, like a beast reawakening, roared from the depths of his heart. Bi Fang felt the power growing within him. It was so strong that with the short spear, he thrust out as quick as lightning, like Zeus punishing a Titan!

“Ah!”

Two roars exploded rolling forth!

It was as if a tiger and a lion roared in unison, their voices intertwining and resounding through the woods.

The deer herd stampeded, the lynx crouched!

At that moment, the sun set, and a blanket of darkness enveloped the entire world.

Night had fallen.
