Chapter 26: Come on, Big Brother

Surviving in the primitive wilderness and snatching food from a huge black bear’s mouth – just these two factors were enough to attract people. A large number of veteran viewers directly parachuted into Bi Fang’s live broadcast room.

Ling Xuefeng watched as the number of people in his own live broadcast room continued to drop, his heart racing, and even feeling a little regretful.

Fortunately, it was not a permanent loss, or else this promotion would be unnecessary.

“No wonder that old fellow Wang was trying so hard to please. This anchor really does have some skills.”

Not only were the viewers of Ling Xuefeng’s live broadcast room attracted by this Bi Fang, but he himself was too. The content was not only novel but also exciting. Moreover, Bi Fang had a good image and was slightly more handsome than him—just a tiny bit, merely a fingertip gap—it couldn’t be any more.

In the era where the internet celebrities ruled and lacked a masculine character, a broadcaster with both good looks and manliness was like a breath of fresh air.

Within the jungle, Bi Fang took out a stone dagger and observed his surroundings. After confirming that it was safe, he quickly stood up and prepared to put away the smoked rabbit meat.

This move was quite risky, exposing himself, but it had to be done.

Snatching food from the bear’s mouth was essentially weighing the cost, the balance between benefit and effort. It was similar to how everyone knew about the high risks of stock trading, but they still couldn’t help stepping into it, believing that they wouldn’t end up as the prey.

If successful, it would save Bi Fang the time spent searching for food and also provide him with two rabbit skin hats, maintaining his physical stamina and body temperature. Furthermore, the system had issued a mission, giving him an extra reason to snatch.

No, this was taking back what belonged to him!

Rushing over to the tree, Bi Fang held his breath, not making any sound. He looked around, making sure everything was safe, and then proceeded to cut the meat packet wrapped in vines.

The burial site for the organs was less than 200 meters away from him. If they were on an open plain, both the person and the bear might have been able to see each other directly!

It took a while for Bi Fang to cut the vines with the stone dagger, but he finally managed to get the meat packet and prepared to leave quickly. However, his foot stepped on something.

“Crack!”

A crisp sound of breaking branches was heard.

But the solid feeling of soil 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 viewers in the live broadcast room instantly felt chills, and the chatroom exploded. In just a few seconds, the barrage of messages flooded the live broadcast room.

“Damn! Old Fang, behind you!”

“Behind you, look behind!”

“Mother, that’s a huge black bear!”

“Ah! It’s charging! I can’t look!”

“Call the police! Hurry up, someone call the police!”

“No! There’s no time!”

In Ling Xuefeng’s live broadcast room, the anchor Ling Xuefeng was also staring wide-eyed, his expression the same as the other viewers, even more shocked, and directly shouted, “Bear! Bear! Bear!”

It was like the code word used during the attack on Pearl Harbor years ago: “Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!”

The black and majestic creature galloped wildly through the forest, taking cover in the bushes. Occasionally, beams of light would illuminate its shiny black fur as its thick limbs trampled the earth.

In an instant, Bi Fang’s hair stood on end and his body’s muscles contracted instinctively. His thighs quickly gathered strength and his whole body rolled forward like a spring.

Bi Fang only felt a chill run across his back. Between life and death, he suddenly thought of someone.

“Brother Lu, what happened to your hand?”

“Heh, I encountered a frenzied black bear when I was younger, and it bit it off.”

Beside the bonfire, Bi Fang sat curiously looking at the middle-aged man with half a palm in front of him. He was the local guide hired by the expedition team.

“Such a big wound, the bear must be quite big, right?”

“Oh yeah!” This thirty-something Shandong man seemed reminiscent of his glorious past and showed a proud look on his face, “It was about 1.8 meters in length, and weighed at least 200 kilograms!”

“Really?” Bi Fang was surprised. Since bears have very thick layers of fat, it’s hard to kill one unless you aim for the head with a hunting rifle. How did this unassuming rough man survive?

“I fought for my life.” Listening to Bi Fang’s question, Brother Lu squinted his eyes as if recalling the fear, “It bit off my hand, so I poked out its eyes. I guess it was scared, and it quit as people were coming around.”

Seeing that Bi Fang was deep in thought, Brother Lu teased, “Why? Are you planning to hunt bears?”

“No way, hunting bears in the wild is against the law. But I want to learn a few moves. After all, doing our job, you never know when you might run into danger.” Bi Fang shook his head; he was genuinely seeking advice.

“There aren’t really any specific techniques to teach.” Brother Lu shook his head and sighed, “When encountering a wild beast, there’s not much we can do. Without a gun or a knife, we can only fight desperately, but we mustn’t fight to the death!”

“Fight desperately but not to the death?”

As the tree branches scratched painfully against his face, Bi Fang scrambled up from the ground in a roll, sweating profusely, and suddenly remembered that sentence.

The huge claws struck the tree trunk, smashing a large section of bark and wood. It was unimaginable the kind of disaster it would have been if it had hit a person!

It seemed that the black bear did not expect its prey to react so quickly. As it charged forward, it stared at Bi Fang, who was holding a short spear, and roared without advancing rashly.

It was only then that Bi Fang had the chance to get a good look at the appearance of the black bear. Its size was almost what he had previously estimated, but the visual impact was much stronger than any concept!

What kind of black bear was this?

More than 1.7 meters long, extremely thick limbs, with sharp claws that left clear holes in the ground.

The entire body was covered in glossy, ink-black fur. The fur was dense and rough, particularly the neck and shoulder areas, where the hair was longer. Below its neck, on its chest, there was an obvious white crescent-shaped marking, adding a touch of brightness to its single-colored fur.

However, this was in the wilderness, not a circus!

No one would find this black bear cute, as its mouth was filled with terrifying teeth, stained with blood and reed leaves!

It indeed matched the assumption made by the God of Directions.

Upon seeing the appearance of the black bear, the viewers in the live broadcast couldn’t help but feel admiration, but no matter how much admiration they had, it was of no use in the current situation!

Not long ago, Bi Fang had said that between him and the rabbit innards, there was a progressive relationship in attracting the bear, let alone now when he had picked up the rabbit meat!

Keep going, anchor! I came to support you from Ling Dog’s channel, hang in there!

Big brother, keep going! Don’t give up!

The Ling family army is here to check in!

Ling Xuefeng is checking the house, hurry up and welcome him!

In just a moment, countless fans of Ling Xuefeng flooded into Bi Fang’s live broadcast room.

In just a few seconds, the popularity of his live broadcast skyrocketed – 2,000, 5,000, 7,000…10,000!

Although popularity doesn’t represent the number of viewers, it’s still quite terrifying!

Ten thousand – a result that many anchors can’t achieve, even after begging, was realized by an anchor who had only been streaming for two days and previously had no fame at all!

This is a miracle!

Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the first mainline mission. The rewards will be settled after completing all missions!
