Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness - Chapter 312

Chapter 312: Chapter 309: Theft Prevention

“This bear, might be worth even more than the first-place prize.”

Mugalen stood in front of the bear’s corpse, slightly out of breath. The pressure he just felt was truly suffocating, as if three or four adults were weighing him down.

Nowadays, brown bears are a rarity. The price one can fetch for a single bear is astronomical, especially for such a massive one.

“It’s just that the fur quality is a bit lacking.”

Mugalen felt a twinge of regret. Not to mention the large holes and bloodstains, just the battering it took had left several large gashes on the bear. If the skin was peeled off intact, it was bound to be pockmarked.

Thinking this, Mugalen no longer cared about appearances and flopped down in the mud, waving at the drone and shouting, “Hey, could you help preserve the bear paws? Freeze them directly. There are still two days left until the end, and I’m afraid they’ll go bad.”

Mugalen knew for sure that a whole bunch of people were watching him; otherwise, it would be strange.

The show’s crew looked at each other, confused. Such a request was actually against the rules, but given the circumstances, breaking the rules just this once seemed to be no big deal.

“Let’s agree to it.”

Jerret nodded. Anyone in this situation would make an exception.

Mugalen, having received an affirmative response, was all smiles. He pried open the brown bear’s large mouth, and a putrid smell hit his nostrils, but Mugalen didn’t show the slightest disgust. He reached straight in, veins bulging on his forehead.

After a moment, Mugalen managed to pry out a canine tooth, and upon losing his strength, he fell back into the puddle. The water, which should have been ice-cold, felt completely unnoticed by Mugalen as he washed the tooth in it, then raised it triumphantly in front of the camera.

Under the sunshine, the slightly yellow canine tooth shimmered, measuring four centimeters long—no one would dare to underestimate it. It was, after all, a trophy from one of the strongest land predators.

Just auctioning it could fetch a handsome price because this was no mere bear tooth, but one obtained from primordial hunting, a symbol of human strength and intelligence, worthy of commemoration.

But Mugalen’s mindset clearly wasn’t on this point as he shouted joyfully, “Milani, can you see this? This thing is way prettier than a shark tooth!”

The audience was momentarily stunned, but many quick-witted ones got the joke and burst into laughter.

[Holy shit, who’d have thought this is what you actually cared about?]

[Seriously, is this the main point? Now I’m starting to question the real motive behind Mugalen hunting the bear. ]

[But still, bad-ass. ]

[Indeed, must be first place by now, right? I feel like even if he can’t make it out, Mugalen should still be first. But there’s probably still time to leave, right? ]

[Only two days left, it’s a bit risky, but no problem. Another rising star has emerged, just not as cool as Master Fang.]

[True, Old Fang is still more awesome in this regard (Funny.)]

[Damn, why do these kinds of people exist, handsome and capable (Crying), should’t it be more like Uncle Mugalen? ]

For three whole hours, Mugalen was busy with the bear carcass. A bear’s hide is not something that can be dealt with easily.

On one hand, the bear was too large for one person to handle, and on the other hand, the hide itself was severely damaged, so it had to be carefully processed to prevent further decline in quality. The skin had to be cut open with a small knife at every patch, like a butcher meticulously carving meat.

Draping the entire bear hide over oneself, that sense of accomplishment was truly unmatched, causing countless viewers to watch with envy, almost to the point of tears.

Moreover, many international viewers even offered high prices to buy the bear’s head and hide, but Mugalen declined them all.

Joking, such a feat, even he himself wasn’t sure he could replicate it. Of course, he had to keep it in his own home for a collection; selling it was absolutely out of the question.

However, he could sell a couple of bear paws.

…

Survival Day Eleven.

Mugalen set out again, his bear hide on his back. To lighten the load, he had even taken off his jacket.

Ava and Lisa were still suffering from colds. Luckily, their condition wasn’t too severe, and they were able to move around, supporting each other as they walked. But it seemed unlikely for them to make it through the wilderness.

The guys in the jungle were still living a leisurely life, catching small animals every day, heading to the river for water when hungry. They were having an easygoing time, to the point of having a makeshift yard now.

As for the last one, Ji Zuodong…

Ji Zuodong stopped in his tracks and looked down at the broken tree beside him, his expression brightening with joy.

The cross-section was smooth and even, it clearly wasn’t broken by nature.

It was chopped down!

“The cross-section of a tree broken by nature is always rough, but only humans using tools could make such a smooth cut. I’ve finally found traces of human activity. With any luck, I might find a human settlement today.”

Running his hand over the smooth surface, Ji Zuodong felt a surge of excitement in his heart. Eleven days, he had survived in the wilderness for a total of eleven days. Do you know how he had spent them?

Playing the game… traveling every single day!

His legs had even started to ache and swell.

The more Ji Zuodong thought about it, the more thrilled he became. After confirming his direction, he continued forward, filled with fighting spirit.

“If it’s a wheel track, there might be a road nearby, if it’s a chopping mark, there might be a village or a small town nearby. Only then would someone go into the forest to chop down trees. Of course, it’s also possible that I’ll find a road first.”

Sure enough, an hour later, Ji Zuodong reached the top of a hill. The view was wide open, and he could clearly see for tens of kilometers around. Utilizing his vantage point, he spotted a road below the hill at a glance!

“Damn it, Old Fang has finally made it out!”

Ji Zuodong couldn’t help but shout out loud, even letting out a curse word, followed by a burst of uninhibited laughter. Finishing his crossing more than a day early, he must be the first, right?

Not to boast, but with only five people left, it was very likely that he would secure first place.

All he had to do was descend the hill, and in less than a kilometer, he would reach the road and declare his challenge a success. With that thought, he hurried down the hill, seemingly still full of energy. It was truly incredible.

“If it weren’t for someone as bold as Mugalen, this championship might really have been ours. It’s a shame we can only settle for second place now.”

Bi Fang, who had already returned to the helicopter, smiled and felt a tinge of regret.

The reason for saying this was because Mugalen’s first place was almost certain. If he hurried, his success in the crossing was almost guaranteed.

In this case, Ji Zuodong’s advantage was arriving a day early, but such an advantage was nothing in the face of Bear.

“Let’s go, we’ll go welcome him now.”

Meanwhile, Ji Zuodong had already reached the road, and he began looking for road signs to figure out exactly where he was.

But before he found them, the roar of a helicopter overhead interrupted his thoughts.

“Did I make it?”

Ji Zuodong looked up at the familiar helicopter, feeling very moved. To survive eleven days and traverse over five hundred kilometers was an experience he had never had before in his life.

“Congratulations, after 268 hours, you’ve successfully crossed!” Bi Fang stepped off the plane, extending his hand with a smile on his face.

Ji Zuodong politely shook his hand, eagerly asking, “I just want to know if I’m the first one.”

“That…”

Bi Fang and Pondy exchanged glances behind him, a look that made Ji Zuodong’s heart sink with a bad premonition. A hundred thousand Ugly Gold was not a small amount, converted to cash, it was over six hundred thousand. It was several years’ worth of salary for a normal person, and to think it could be earned in just half a month, anyone would naturally feel anxious. He hurriedly asked, “Has someone else crossed before me?”

“No, that’s not the case.”

“Then how did he win?”

Ji Zuodong was puzzled, not so much questioning the fairness of the show, since everyone’s progress was live broadcasted. If he hadn’t secured first place with such a large advantage, it only meant that someone else had performed even better.

What exactly did he do?

Bi Fang didn’t waste words, pulling out his phone to show Mugalen’s bear hunting scene, to make the other accept the result wholeheartedly.

Ten minutes later, Ji Zuodong returned the phone with a complicated expression, feeling a bitter taste in his heart.

“Impressive!”
