Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

On the other side, Wang Yu stomped on the small ball angrily before turning around and walking towards the four pieces of venison.

He had been hungry for so long, his stomach was already growling, and no matter how angry he was, he couldn't go against food.

He wolfed down all the venison, leaving his belly round and full, before letting out a satisfied burp.

After eating and drinking his fill, he picked up the small ball, turned, and headed deeper into his territory, still seething with anger: "Just you wait! Tang Li! When I patrol near the zoo, I'll see how I deal with you!"

"I swear I will not rest until I avenge this!"

His tiger fur exuded a menacing aura that kept strangers at bay, and the air around him seemed to freeze.

The small animals around him, even from a distance, would be terrified at the mere sight of his gloomy appearance. They would either dart into tree holes or cower in the bushes, too afraid to utter a sound, lest they anger this fearsome figure.

The thought of the tigress in the deep mountains to the north and those three annoying male tigers made Wang Yuyu furious, and she lost all patience for "resting".

In order to get away from that suffocating area, he broke his habit of "being active at night" for the first time, and set off in the daylight. His steps were hurried and heavy, and each step he took sank deep into the snow, with a kind of venting and fierce energy.

He ran for more than ten kilometers in one go until the outline of the deep mountains to the north was completely out of sight, at which point he slowed down a little.

Wang Yu looked up at the sky. It was already completely dark, and the dark blue sky was covered with countless stars, like a handful of broken diamonds, twinkling.

A crisp evening breeze brushed against his cheeks, carrying the coolness of snow, so comforting that it relaxed his tense muscles.

"It's time to find a place to rest, get some sleep, and then continue the patrol."

He flicked his tail, pondered for a moment, then turned and headed toward one of his temporary dens nearby.

It was a cave hidden in a mountain valley, dry and sheltered from the wind, a place he had specifically chosen to stay during his previous patrol.

But after walking only a few hundred meters, a familiar yet unfamiliar fishy and muttony smell suddenly entered my nostrils.

It smells like a bear!

Wang Yuyu's steps suddenly stopped, and all the muscles in her body tensed up instantly. Her nerves, which had been slightly relaxed just moments before, immediately tightened to their maximum tension.

He crouched down silently, his amber eyes narrowing instantly as he warily scanned the surrounding woods, even his breathing becoming soft.

He slowly moved to the side until he was pressed tightly against a thick pine tree.

This way you can protect your back and avoid being ambushed.

After assuming a defensive stance, he observed intently for a while. All he could hear was the rustling of the wind through the branches; there was no sign of a bear.

Wang Yu felt a little more at ease, judging that the bear should have already left, but the lingering scent was still fresh, indicating that it hadn't been gone long.

But the fleeting moment of relaxation was quickly replaced by overwhelming rage. He abruptly raised his head, his tiger-like eyes wide with fury: "Holy crap! I was only away for a few days without patrolling, and some beast dared to break in? They've got some nerve!"

Wang Yuyu was already furious at being "tricked" by Tang Li, and now the discovery of a bear invading his territory was like adding fuel to the fire. He felt like his chest was about to explode with rage.

"Don't let me find you, or I'll tear you to pieces!" he gritted his teeth, thinking viciously.

Suppressing her anger, Wang Yuyu sniffed the air carefully again, becoming more and more certain: "This isn't the smell of my neighbor's bear; it's a strange bear."

On the edge of his territory lived a brown bear, and their territories overlapped in a small area.

Over the past six months, he had had many encounters with that brown bear, mostly by chance in overlapping areas. They were both aware of each other's strength and never really broke off relations. They would just glance at each other and tacitly avoid each other, keeping to themselves.

He knew the neighboring bear's scent like the back of his hand, but the scent before him was pungent and intense, with a wild and untamed quality; it was definitely a newcomer.

Moreover, when he patrolled the area last time, he didn't see the neighboring bear, nor did he find any trace of it.

At this time of year, brown bears should have already found a place to hibernate.

"My neighbor must be hibernating."

Wang Yuyu was certain, but a new doubt arose: "What about this unfamiliar bear? In this cold weather, instead of finding a place to hibernate, it's one thing to roam outside, but to dare come to such a remote place on the edge of the mountains?"

According to his understanding, bears should have found a sheltered cave or tree hollow to hibernate in the dead of winter, curling up to survive the winter. Why would they be wandering around outside in the freezing cold?

They even ventured to the edge of the mountains, a place where food is scarce?

Wang Yuyu came here out of necessity. When he was driven out by the tiger mother, he hadn't even learned how to hunt yet, and the territory around the tiger mother was occupied by other male tigers, leaving him no space to survive.

With no other choice, in order to survive, he had to leave the depths of the mountains and go to the edge of the mountains to make a living.

Wang Yu frowned, shook his head, and said, "Regardless of the reason, invading one's own territory is a capital offense!"

"No matter what you're here for, if you dare trespass on my territory, I have no intention of letting you leave alive!"

His eyes hardened as he stared intently at the direction the scent was spreading, his anger igniting his fighting spirit.

I was fed a good amount of venison by Tang Li this morning, and now I'm full of energy. I'm not hungry at all, but I'm full of energy and I'm just wondering where to vent it!

Wang Yu immediately followed the bear's scent and footprints.

He moved quietly through the woods, his ears constantly perked up, catching every sound around him, his eyes fixed on the messy footprints ahead, fearing that the bear might suddenly launch a sneak attack.

Brown bears are formidable fighters. Even if he is a mountain king, it would take him some effort to fight head-on. He won't let his guard down.

After tracking for more than half an hour, the fishy smell in the air was suddenly mixed with a strong smell of blood, and it was getting stronger and stronger.

Wang Yuyu's anger flared even more. "Damn it! Not only do they dare to invade my territory, but they also dare to poach my prey here? It's like the saying goes, when the tiger is away, the monkeys run rampant!"

He immediately concealed himself, lay prone on the snow, and, using the bushes and trees for cover, stealthily crawled towards the direction with the strongest smell of blood.

The snow covered his paws, but the icy touch did not affect his concentration in the slightest; every movement was precise and quiet.

After climbing for more than two hundred meters, the view ahead finally came into view.

There, a brown bear of unusually large size was lying on the snow, burying its head in something and gnawing on it.

The brown bear was estimated to be 2.5 meters long, covered in thick brown-black fur, and looked even bigger than Wang Yuyu, with a weight probably similar to his.
