Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness - Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Go Big Brother!

Translator: 549690339

Surviving in the wilderness of the Primeval Forest and snatching food from the mouth of a giant Black Bear are just two factors that are enough to attract attention. A plethora of experienced viewers have parachuted directly into Bi Fang’s live broadcast room.

Watching the number of viewers in his own live broadcast room dwindling, Ling Xuefeng felt his heart racing with fear and even regret.

Fortunately, it wasn’t a permanent loss, otherwise the promotion wouldn’t be worth it.

“No wonder Old Ghost Wang was sucking up so much, this host really has some skill.”

It wasn’t just the viewers in Ling Xuefeng’s broadcast room who were captivated by the host called Bi Fang, but Ling Xuefeng himself was attracted too. Not only was the content novel, but it was also thrilling, and the host’s image was quite good, just a tiny bit handsomer than him. Really, just a tiny bit, the difference of a fingertip at most, not a fraction more.

In an era where androgynous streamer stars are the trend and masculinity is lacking, the debut of a host who had both good looks and manliness was like a breath of fresh air.

In the jungle, Bi Fang took out the Stone Dagger and looked around to make sure it was safe before he quickly stood up, ready to pack up the smoked rabbit meat.

This action was indeed risky, equating to exposing himself voluntarily, but it was something he had to do.

Snatching Food from a Bear’s Mouth is essentially about quantifying the cost, the comparison between the benefits and the expenses. It’s like everyone knows that stock trading is risky, but they can’t help but get involved, firmly believing they won’t get cut as a sucker.

If successful, not only could it save Bi Fang time looking for food, but he would also gain two rabbit skin hats, maintaining ample physical energy and warmth. Moreover, the System had issued a mission, giving him another reason to snatch.

No, this was reclaiming what was his!

Quickly arriving at the base of the tree, Bi Fang was slightly out of breath, daring not to make a sound. After ensuring his safety, he went on tiptoe and began cutting.

The spot where the entrails were buried was less than two hundred meters away. If this had been an open plain, a man and a bear could have even made eye contact!

The vines were somewhat sturdy, and it took Bi Fang a while to cut them with his Stone Dagger before he could take down the meat bundle and prepare to leave quickly. But as soon as his rear foot touched the ground,

“Crack!”

A clear sound of a tree branch breaking rang out.

But the solid sensation of the earth beneath his feet told Bi Fang that he hadn’t stepped on any branches!

There was something behind him, and it was very close!

The Shuiyou in the live broadcast room instantly felt their hairs stand on end, and the chat exploded in chaos. In just a few seconds, the barrage of comments completely flooded the live broadcast room.

[Whoa, Old Fang, behind you!]

[Behind you, look behind!]

[Mommy, that’s a huge Black Bear!]

[Ah! It’s charging over! I can’t watch!]

[Call for help, someone call for help!]

[It’s no use, too late!]

In Ling Xuefeng’s broadcast room, the host Ling Xuefeng himself widened his eyes, his expression was just like the other viewers, even more astonished, as he exclaimed directly, “Bear! Bear! Bear!”

It was like the code used by the Fusang people when attacking Pearl Harbor, “Tora! Tora! Tora!”

That black, majestic creature sprinted through the woods, using the bushes for cover, and the occasional patches of light illuminated its glossy black fur, as its sturdy limbs trampled the ground.

In an instant, Bi Fang’s hair stood on end, and his body’s muscles constricted in response, his thighs readying a powerful leap in a very short amount of time. He was like a spring, tumbling forward and falling over.

Bi Fang only felt a chill running up his back, and in this life or death moment, he suddenly remembered someone.

“Brother Lu, what happened to your hand?”

“Ah, when I was young, I ran into a crazed Black Bear that bit it off.”

By the campfire, Bi Fang sat to one side, curiously examining the middle-aged man in front of him who had lost half of his palm, the local guide hired by the expedition team.

“Such a big wound, that bear must have been huge, right?”

“It was!” As though reliving the glory days of the past, the thirty-something man from Shandong couldn’t hide his pride, “It was 1.8 meters long and had to weigh at least over two hundred kilos!”

“That big?” Bi Fang was shocked because a bear’s fat layer is exceptionally thick, making it difficult to kill even with a hunting rifle unless you aim for the head. How did this unremarkable-looking tough guy manage to survive?

“Fighting desperately,” Brother Lu replied when he heard Bi Fang’s question, his eyes narrowing as though he was still shaken by the memory, “It bit off my hand, so I poked out its eyes. But maybe it got scared, and also people were coming, so it just gave up completely.”

As Bi Fang looked on thoughtfully, Brother Lu joked, “What? You ask so much, you want to hunt bears?”

“How could that be, it’s illegal to hunt bears in the wild. I just want to learn a thing or two; after all, doing our job, who knows when we might face danger,” Bi Fang shook his head, he was genuinely eager to learn.

“What kind of techniques can I teach you?” Brother Lu shook his head and sighed, “When encountering wild beasts, humans really have no way out. Without a gun or a knife, you can only fight desperately, but you can’t fight to the death!”

“Fight desperately, but not fight to the death?”

The scraping of branches on the ground made Bi Fang’s face sting painfully as he rolled and scrambled up from the ground, breaking out in a cold sweat as this phrase suddenly flashed through his mind.

Massive claws struck the tree trunk, shredding large chunks of bark and wood; one could only imagine the kind of disaster it would spell if it hit a person!

It seemed the black bear hadn’t expected its prey’s reaction to be so swift. The charging black bear, staring at Bi Fang who was holding a short spear, growled lowly, not rushing forward rashly again.

Only now did Bi Fang have the chance to clearly see the black bear’s appearance, its size not different from his previous estimate, but the visual impact was much more striking than the concept!

What kind of black bear was this?

It was over 1.7 meters long, with extremely thick limbs, and its sharp claws left clear holes in the ground.

The bear’s fur was glossy, black as ink, dense and rough, especially the hair on both sides of its neck and shoulders, which was longer. Beneath its neck, on its chest, there was a distinct white crescent-shaped pattern, adding a touch of brightness to the solid color fur.

But this was the wilderness, not a circus!

No one would think this black bear was cute, with its mouth full of sharp teeth still stained with blood and reeds!

Indeed, just as Master Fang had guessed.

The audience in the livestream couldn’t help but admire upon seeing the black bear’s form, but no matter how admirable, it did nothing to improve the current situation!

You should know, just ten minutes earlier, Bi Fang had said that his appeal to the bear was incremental compared to that of the raw rabbit meat, not to mention he had now taken down the rabbit meat!

[Go for it, host! I came from Ling Dog’s to support you, hang in there!]

[Big brother, go for it, don’t give up!]

[Reporting in from the Ling Family Army!]

[Ling Xuefeng is checking in, come and greet him quickly!]

In that moment, countless fans of Ling Xuefeng swarmed into Bi Fang’s livestream.

In just a few seconds, the popularity of his livestream skyrocketed; two thousand, five thousand, seven thousand… ten thousand!

Though popularity doesn’t represent the number of people, it was still terrifying enough!

Ten thousand, a milestone many streamers cannot beg for, was achieved by a broadcaster who had only been livestreaming for two days and had no fame beforehand!

This was a miracle!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing Main Mission One. The rewards will be tallied after all missions are completed!]
