Chapter 395: The Black Bear Goes Berserk!
Cheng Yuan wasn’t particularly scared, just a little curious. Logically speaking, large predators were mostly wary of humans and wouldn’t easily approach a human camp.
Especially since they had a bonfire in their camp.
Why did this black bear dare to approach their camp?
Little Silkworm, who could communicate telepathically with Cheng Yuan, quickly resolved his confusion.
’Master, this mother bear has lost her cub, which is why she’s so agitated. Does Little Silkworm need to kill it?’
’So it lost its cub?’
No wonder the mother bear’s behavior was a bit abnormal.
If he hadn’t just eaten his fill, Cheng Yuan would have certainly allowed Little Silkworm to kill the black bear.
After all, wild bear paw was quite delicious.
But Cheng Yuan was a bit stuffed, and he felt some sympathy for the bear having lost its cub, so he rejected Little Silkworm’s suggestion.
’Let’s just forget it. I’ll just scare it off.’
’Yes, Master.’
The eager Little Silkworm quieted down. Cheng Yuan silently began to circulate his Celestial Witch Heart Method, and his aura slowly began to rise.
Wild animals are extremely sensitive to auras, and this black bear was no exception!
Sensing the steadily climbing aura from Cheng Yuan, a trace of fear appeared in the black bear’s fierce gaze!
’This person is dangerous!’
The black bear instinctively took two steps back, and even had the thought of turning to flee!
But the black bear was too worried about its cub. Even though it sensed Cheng Yuan was not to be trifled with, it was unwilling to leave so easily!
The corners of Cheng Yuan’s mouth turned up slightly. He knew that if he just raised his aura another level, the black bear would definitely turn and flee for its life!
Just as Cheng Yuan was about to increase his aura to scare off the bear, the faint sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind him.
Cheng Yuan’s eyes darted. He instantly dispersed the Celestial Witch True Essence he had just gathered and strode to the front of the girls’ cabin, asking in a gentle voice, "He Jing, I need to borrow a power bank. Could you bring it out?"
"I’m so tired, Cheng Yuan. Why don’t you come in and get it yourself!"
"That... wouldn’t be very appropriate, would it?"
The sound of the three girls’ laughter immediately came from inside the wooden cabin.
"What’s not appropriate? We’re not undressed. What, are you worried we’re going to eat you alive?"
"Mr. Cheng, the three of us girls aren’t scared, so what’s a big man like you getting all shy for?"
Of course, Cheng Yuan wouldn’t back down.
"Then I’m really coming in..."
With that, Cheng Yuan ducked into the girls’ cabin.
Xiang Fei had drunk too much wild vegetable soup and felt the urge to pee. He stepped out of his cabin to relieve himself.
Xiang Fei had excellent hearing. Plus, Cheng Yuan hadn’t made any effort to hide his voice. Xiang Fei heard the conversation between Cheng Yuan and the three girls and saw him duck into their cabin.
Xiang Fei’s eyes turned red with jealousy!
’That damned Cheng! He actually snuck into the girls’ cabin under the cover of darkness!’
’What, are you trying to have all three of them to yourself?’
How could Xiang Fei be bothered with peeing now? He turned and rushed back into the cabin, shouting, "Young Master Wan! Luo Hou! That Cheng guy just went into the girls’ cabin! Is he trying to hog them all for himself again? Does he even have any respect for us brothers?"
Wan Liang was about to explode with rage!
He originally thought that bringing Cheng Yuan along would let He Jing see who the real man was.
But instead, he had suffered one setback after another, repeatedly getting slapped in the face by Cheng Yuan!
He was already stewing with anger. How could he possibly tolerate this?
He had gone through all the trouble to organize this hunting trip, wasn’t it all just to win over He Jing?
He, Young Master Wan, had no intention of eating someone else’s leftovers!
A vicious glint flashed in Wan Liang’s eyes. "Brothers, this Cheng Yuan snuck into the girls’ cabin at night with evil intentions! We absolutely cannot condone such shameless behavior! We have to teach him a good lesson!"
Xiang Fei was even more ruthless than Wan Liang. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Young Master Wan, this is the Hundred Thousand Mountains. We only ran into Cheng Yuan by chance, and his phone is dead. Even if he died here, it would have nothing to do with us!"
A fierce light flashed in Luo Hou’s eyes. "Young Master Wan, Xiang Fei is right. That brat Cheng is trying to keep everything for himself, making us drink wild vegetable soup. We have to kill him today!"
Wan Liang frowned. He was indeed a profligate heir and liked to fool around, but he had never caused anyone’s death.
"You two, calm down! Even though this is the Hundred Thousand Mountains, a lawless place, we still have to have some fear of the consequences! Just teaching him a harsh lesson will be enough! Don’t kill anyone! We can’t just kill all three girls too, can we?"
The two of them calmed down. That’s right, Young Master Wan was right. The three girls were witnesses; they couldn’t just kill them too, could they?
With grim faces, the three of them walked out of the cabin and headed straight for the girls’ cabin!
Outside the camp’s fence, the black bear scratched its head in confusion. ’What’s going on?’
’It clearly felt so dangerous just a moment ago. Why did that dangerous feeling suddenly disappear in the blink of an eye?’
With its limited intelligence, the black bear couldn’t figure out what was happening.
The black bear took two more steps forward, returning to the side of the fence. It hesitated, wondering whether it should knock down the fence and charge in to search for its cub.
Soon, the black bear’s gaze sharpened. It saw three men, carrying crossbows with long knives hanging from their waists, walking towards it with murderous intent!
’Hunters!’
’Damned hunters!’
’It must have been these hunters who captured or killed my cub!’
The black bear’s eyes instantly turned red. Its mind filled with rage, and it stared at the three men with an incomparably savage gaze!
’Even if it means death!’
’I will avenge my cub!’
The black bear violently raised a massive paw and swiped viciously at the fence!
The sturdy fence collapsed! A gap of three or four meters appeared!
The black bear’s enormous body charged into the camp!
The three men had just reached the door of the girls’ cabin when they were startled by the sudden, loud noise!
They subconsciously looked towards the fence, and then they all froze!
A black bear!!
And it was a massive beast, over two meters tall!!
Wan Liang, after all, had hunted a black bear before. Although it was only a juvenile bear, one-point-two meters tall, he remained relatively calm and shouted, "Black bear!! Attack together! Kill it!!"
Wan Liang quickly loaded his crossbow, aimed for the bear’s heart, and fired!
Xiang Fei and Luo Hou were so scared their legs went weak. Wan Liang’s shout snapped them out of their daze. They tremblingly tried to load a crossbow bolt, but their hands were shaking so much that the bolt fell to the ground.
SWOOSH!!
The bolt Wan Liang fired hit the black bear!
However, because he was a bit startled, his arm was trembling slightly, and his aim was a little off.
He had been aiming for the heart, but the shot was off by nearly twenty centimeters. As a result, the bolt didn’t hit the heart, but struck its shoulder!
"ROAR!!"
Stung by the pain, the black bear grew even more furious and let out an earth-shattering roar! Then, like a heavy tank, it charged straight for Wan Liang!
Wan Liang lived up to his reputation as a veteran hunter. Even in such a crisis, he didn’t lose his nerve. He shouted, "Split up! Weave between cover and attack! Don’t run in a straight line! Black bears can hit sixty kilometers per hour! We can’t outrun it! But their turning is clumsy, so we can dodge and weave in a small area!"
As he shouted, Wan Liang quickly began to circle the cabin.
If Xiang Fei and Luo Hou had followed Wan Liang’s commands, using cover to move and taking potshots with their crossbows, they might have actually been able to kill the black bear.
Unfortunately, these two useless teammates were scared out of their wits and had already bolted into the cabin!
The black bear clearly saw that the two prey, Xiang Fei and Luo Hou, were easier to deal with than Wan Liang. It didn’t chase after Wan Liang, instead turning and charging towards the girls’ cabin!
CRASH!
With a single swipe, the black bear smashed the cabin door to pieces!!
