Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness

The ice shattered into a fine powder.

Bi Fang, clutching the reindeer, sank into the river. Surrounded by the flow, he felt his blood about to freeze, his whole body icy cold. The bone-chilling freeze nearly cracked his mouth open, but the cold water flowing over his throat calmed him.

His blood vessels constricted inch by inch, stiffening gradually.

The reindeer in his arms struggled violently. Bi Fang did not dare to resist and quickly let go to watch the reindeer swim swiftly upstream and clamber onto the ice.

Bi Fang did not hurry to emerge; he stayed underwater, watching as one after another large reindeer, each weighing over a hundred kilograms, leaped over the ice caves and fled.

The thumping sounded like the true depiction of the audience’s electrocardiogram.

Thump-thump, thump-thump!

Tense, chaotic, rapid.

As dense as drumbeats.

Minutes later, the noise gradually ceased.

Bi Fang, nearly completely frozen stiff, finally surfaced and took deep breaths. “Ugh!”

After spitting out two mouthfuls of water, Bi Fang stripped off his clothes and once again started doing burpee jumps. But after being submerged twice, his body was overwhelmed. Even after a dozen burpees, he still felt piercing cold. He was experiencing hypothermia!

Feeling his body growing colder and his head dizzying, Bi Fang hurriedly followed the bloodstains on the ground, picking up his clothes and the parka he had initially dropped, continuing the chase; the limping big deer, struck in the trachea, couldn’t have gone far.

Everything was as anticipated; less than two hundred meters away, Bi Fang caught up with the injured reindeer following the trail of blood.

The reindeer looked at Bi Fang with eyes full of panic, but severe blood loss had left it without the strength to flee any further. Bi Fang approached cautiously, seizing the opportunity to grab its antlers.

Pulling out the short spear, the reindeer began to struggle fiercely, but its head was firmly held in place. Bi Fang did not prolong its suffering; with stiff hands, he grasped the slippery harpoon and inserted it between the ears of the reindeer, inducing instant brain death.

The heavy body of the big deer collapsed beside Bi Fang, splattering him with blood. Bowing his head, he saw the deer’s head at his feet, its eyes not closed, black pupils empty.

The blood dyed a large area of the ice red, and the warm blood quickly mingled with the biting ice to solidify.

Hunting success.

Lu Wentao sat on the couch. Seeing this scene unfold, his expression was undisturbed. He downed a gulp of liquor, not distressed but rather excited.

He had come to terms with it; Bi Fang had never been his match. They weren’t on the same level. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t keep up with him. Especially this ability to stream without chat and still know what interests viewers; he was born to be a streamer, no denying it.

Better to give up struggling and become an ordinary viewer.

Or it could be said that since the disappearance of the manager, Wang Weifeng, the mountain of pressure that had always weighed on Lu Wentao had also vanished.

Actually, setting biases aside and watching Bi Fang’s stream was surprisingly engaging, almost uncontrollably tempting him to send gifts!

Damn it, sometimes the gap between people is bigger than between a person and a dog!

Master Fang, YYDS!

A spaceship sent!

Even Lu Wentao, his former rival, felt this way, not to mention other viewers. The number in the live broadcast had surged to a new peak within half an hour, breaking through the 200,000 mark!

That’s audience count, not popularity!

The number of people in Bi Fang’s live room now exceeded the popularity of most streamers!

Such a broadcast that increased viewership to a new level with each session was unheard of, unseen!

Even bamboo doesn’t grow this fast!

[Congratulations to Huanye on becoming an Emperor in Master Fang’s live room!]

[Huanye has sent the streamer meatballs*ioooo]

And there it was!

The seventh Emperor!

Golden light dazzled as it streaked across the skies.

[Master Fang actually gathered seven wild Emperors! Off the charts!]

[Who else do we need?]

[I’m going to use these seven Emperors to summon a tycoon!]

[Old Fang rocks! On average, he gains at least one more Emperor per livestream, amazing! A true master! ]

[Don’t mention it, it hurts just thinking about it, my goddess is a bootlicker for Master Fang, wuwuwu.]

The reindeer that was killed was still twitching its legs, undergoing nerve reflexes. Bi Fang hurriedly spread his coat on the ground and pressed the reindeer onto himself.

Indeed, through heat transfer, Bi Fang’s body temperature finally stabilized and even showed signs of rising.

“Phew, I feel much better now. Hypothermia was really dangerous just now, and all my clothes were soaked. If I hadn’t caught the reindeer, I might have died from hypothermia. This was really dangerous.”

Having recovered some of his strength, Bi Fang finally had the energy to chat with his audience.

“Even when temperatures drop to minus 50 degrees Celsius, reindeer can still maintain enough body heat, all thanks to this thick fur. While its body temperature is still up, I have to warm up quickly. Haha, this is definitely the warmest part of my day.”

[Holy shit, he’s capitalizing on the warmth]

[My eyes are done for!]

[Old Fang, that pose is so cringeful, hugging a dead reindeer for warmth.]

[Honestly, I was so scared just now. I didn’t expect Old Fang to be so badass.]

[That’s right, that fall was very impressive to me. Does Master Fang also know martial arts? Holding a horse stance, calm and composed, so cool! Best moment of the year! ]

[Absolutely, so cool. The reindeer was about to collide, and Master Fang didn’t even flinch. That’s just badass! ]

[Feels like the Tai Chi move ‘Using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds’] “Many of you might be interested in the move I just performed. Yes, I’m coming clean—I’ve practiced Youlong Bagua, which shares the same roots as Tai Chi. I just used the force of the reindeer’s impact to break through the ice.” Bi Fang’s admission immediately caused a huge stir, as traditional martial arts holds a special place in the hearts of Huaxia People.

Nowadays, the internet is full of con artists, and everyone is unsure if traditional martial arts are actually useful.

But Bi Fang’s feat was genuine skill. Certainly, a wild reindeer couldn’t have been acting, right?

Seeing that everyone was very interested in this topic, Bi Fang continued to explain.

“Actually, the so-called ‘Using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds’ is a common technique in martial arts, and it appears frequently in boxing and Sanda. It’s just that Tai Chi and Bagua particularly emphasize this aspect.” “For example, what traditional martial arts call ‘breaking the horizontal with the vertical,’ appears often in Sanda. The idea is that if someone is attacking you straight on with great force, you only need to deflect it sideways with a smaller force to neutralize the attack. Zou Guojun, early Sanda champion and ‘Asia’s Fastest Leg,’ also liked to use it. It’s just that ‘Using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds’ is a more literary way of expressing it.”

“In weapon combat, there are even more examples, such as the European Two- Handed Sword emphasizing the strong and weak parts of the blade, various levers, all sorts of ‘Using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds’… Martial arts is really just a game of mechanics.”

Having warmed up with the reindeer for a while, Bi Fang recovered considerably. He got up, put on his coat, and hoisted the entire reindeer onto his shoulder.

“Gee, this is heavy.”

Just as he lifted the reindeer, Bi Fang almost fell to his knees. The deer wasn’t fully grown yet but weighed at least sixty kilograms or even close to seventy, roughly the weight of an adult man. It was impossible to carry it back.

Bi Fang had no choice but to put it down again, use snow to quickly cover up the scent of blood, and with the help of a rope, dragged the reindeer forward.

At that point, Bi Fang also finally noticed the barrage of comments about Etienne.

[Etienne was very brave just now too, although there’s a big luck element involved]

[Add one, he’s got a bit of Master Fang’s flair, captured a Little Wolf King] [Heroes emerge from the young!]

Huh?

What is that about?

Bi Fang was confused by what he heard.

What had Etienne done behind his back?
