Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

The deer, its neck gripped, let out mournful cries of pain, desperately kicking its four legs as it tried to stand up and fight Wang Yuyu to the death.

However, under Wang Yuyu's heavy pressure, its body was still being pressed down little by little, and the strength of its limbs was gradually being lost.

Wang Yuyu gripped the deer's head tightly with her two front paws, clenching her teeth even tighter, while her hind legs moved little by little toward the deer's rump, trying to pin the entire deer down and completely eliminate any possibility of resistance.

Slowly, in its desperate struggle, the deer was gradually forced to kneel down on its front legs after standing, then half of its body tilted, and finally its entire body lay completely on its side on the ground.

Even so, it was still unwilling to give up, kicking its hind legs hard, repeatedly stomping on Wang Yuyu's stomach, trying to break free.

"Damn it, behave yourself!"

Wang Yuyu was getting annoyed by the kicks, so he swung his buttocks and landed right between the deer's hind legs, pinning them down.

Then, with a sudden burst of strength from his front paws, he forcefully flipped the deer from its side to its back, and then straddled the deer's belly, completely controlling it.

Immediately afterward, he released his grip on the deer's neck, found the right spot, and bit down hard on the deer's soft neck. His sharp teeth pierced the skin instantly, ending the deer's suffering.

Even with a fatal injury, the deer instinctively kicked its limbs a few times before gradually becoming still.

Wang Yuyu did not immediately relent, nor did he dismount from the deer. Instead, he remained in the riding position, observing warily for a minute.

He feared the deer was feigning death, waiting for him to lower his guard before escaping.

Only after confirming that the deer had completely stopped breathing did Wang Yuyu release her mouth and move her slightly sore jaw and neck.

After resting for a while, he stood up, carrying the deer by the neck and dragging this prey that was not much lighter than himself, preparing to find a safe place to eat.

On a distant hillside, the positioning ball that Wang Yuyu had thrown down was silently and clearly filming his entire hunting process and transmitting it to the research base in real time.

In front of the monitoring screen at the research base, a group of researchers watched the entire process of Wang Yuyu's hunting, and their expressions became somewhat strange.

A young female researcher blushed, covered her mouth, and muttered softly, "A secure job... can't a secure job be done in a different position? Does it have to be riding on top of someone? Even if you want to be on top, lying on someone's back would look better than this..."

An older female researcher nearby couldn't help but laugh out loud, teasing, "You don't understand, do you? This is called 'one thing subdues another,' it's like their 'love-hate relationship'! Hahaha..."

The female researcher blushed even more, lowered her head in embarrassment, and dared not reply.

Ji Yongjun coughed lightly and said seriously, "Alright, stop chatting and get to work."

"Remember to notify the forest rangers and have them check the traps along the patrol route to ensure the safety of its activity area."

"Okay!" everyone responded in unison, returning to their seats and quickly getting back to work.

Night completely enveloped the mountains and forests, and the cold wind blew through the treetops, stirring up fine snowflakes and making a soft "whooshing" sound.

Wang Yu slowly crawled out of a thick snowdrift, shook off his tiger fur, and the snow slid off in a flurry. He stretched out his limbs, his joints making a slight "click" sound. The nap after his meal had restored his full energy.

Following his memory, he walked steadily toward the place where the deer carcass was hidden. He gently dug away the snow covering it with his front paws, and the half-frozen deer carcass gradually came into view.

Wang Yu lowered his head and touched the surface of the corpse with his paw. When he touched the flesh, he didn't feel the hard, unyielding texture he had expected, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, the sun was strong during the day and the temperature was a bit high, so it wasn't completely frozen through."

He lowered his head, and his sharp claws and teeth easily tore through the frozen, hard outer layer of flesh, targeting the slightly softer parts inside to gnaw on.

Once he felt full, he stopped eating and carefully buried the deer carcass again with snow, pressing the snow down with his paws to prevent the smell of blood from escaping.

After doing all this, he also urinated on a tree two meters away from the body.

The strong smell spread across the snow, a warning from him as the owner of the territory: This is my food, don't touch it!

After arranging his rations, Wang Yuyu contentedly picked up the positioning ball that had been placed aside, turned around and walked towards a nearby unfrozen river, intending to drink some water to rinse his mouth and help digest the food he had just eaten.

When we were still dozens of meters away from the river, a muffled voice suddenly drifted over on the wind, mixed with the crackling sound of burning flames.

Wang Yuyu stopped abruptly, his ears perked up, and his amber eyes scanned his surroundings warily. He gently put down the small ball in his mouth and used his paws to hide it in the grass nearby.

He looked in the direction of the sound and the faint light, and saw a reddish-orange halo flickering in the darkness behind the distant hillside. The voice was coming from that direction.

"A person?" Wang Yu frowned, her mind filled with doubt. "In this awful weather, in this desolate wilderness, how could there be someone? Could it be a forest ranger?"

But then he thought again and dismissed the guess: "That's not right. If the forest ranger comes, the ball will definitely give a signal."

This is to prevent him from being frightened and causing harm, and also for the safety of the forest rangers. Whenever a forest ranger is working near his activity area, the research base will use a positioning ball to remind him.

Wang Yu recalled his previous encounters with the forest rangers from a distance. Not only did those rangers not harm him, they would also throw him some meat from afar, making his patrol journey much easier.

But this time, the ball didn't move at all, which made him uneasy.

"Could it be... poachers?"

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Wang Yuyu's fur stood on end, and he let out a low roar.

He stared intently at the light, a chilling murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

The thought of the traps scattered throughout his territory that nearly cost him his life filled him with rage.

But then he hesitated: "That shouldn't be possible, right? If they were poachers, would they dare to make a fire and talk so openly? Wouldn't they find a secluded place to hide and work secretly?"

Two conflicting theories clashed within him, but ultimately, intense curiosity and a strong desire to protect his territory prevailed.

"Never mind, let's go check it out! If they're poachers, we'll teach them a lesson tonight and kick these bastards out!"

Wang Yu picked up the small ball, lowered her body, and moved slowly forward in the snow with her limbs close to the ground.
