Chapter 193

Blood splashed, and the bear's mouth was knocked crooked. The thin man fell down, smashed onto the giant bear's shoulder and back, rolled down along its smooth fur, and grabbed the long spear with one hand.

This spear was stuck in the bear's buttocks, and it was already bleeding profusely, and now adding the weight of a big living person, it hurt so much that it scratched back with its paws.

Fortunately, with this delay, the thin man had stabilized his figure and climbed down the tree with his hands and feet.

He had just stood firm when he saw the giant bear fall from the sky, smashing onto the ground with a bang, splashing mud and dust all over his face.

"Pah, pah, pah!" The thin man hurriedly took a few steps back, seeing the giant bear lying on its stomach, motionless, not knowing if it was dead or fainted.

Six or seven people drilled out from the trees, forest, and sorghum fields, surrounding the giant bear.

The thin man breathed heavily, his words were not coherent: "Poison, didn't you say, as long as I persist for twenty breaths, it will, will be poisoned to death?"

He was chased for half a cup of tea, and his bile was almost vomited out. This bear is really stubborn, it doesn't chase others, only chases him! "The bear is too big, the dosage is insufficient." The only female soldier in the team carried a bow on her back, "Didn't this add two more arrows?"

She had thin eyebrows and thin eyes, and her face was tanned red by the sun on the Chapa Plateau, which made her features look tough.

The thin man was still very angry: "Your level is too poor! It was the broken knife that saved me." Otherwise, this bear would have chewed him like a grape long ago, "Hmm? Where is the broken knife?"

"Here."

Another person turned out from behind the tree, having just picked up the knife that burst the bear's cheek.

It was He Lingchuan.

In this nine-person team, the nickname he gave himself was "Broken Knife."

The basic unit of the Panlong Patrol Army is a "fire," usually also called a small squad, with ten people per fire, and a fire leader. This team lost two people not long ago, and added a He Lingchuan, so there were only nine people for the time being.

Fire leader Liu Tong pulled back the long spear from the bear: "Don't chat, do the business first! Willow, you chop off the bear's head."

Willow is the female archer who shot the arrow just now; she has a graceful figure and indeed looks a bit like a willow.

The fire leader assigned it this way, and the thin man curled his lips, feeling resentful. According to the unwritten rules in the Patrol Army, the one who beheads or chops ears in a team gets the greatest credit; he contributed the most in the bear-killing operation and paid the greatest price, so logically the bear head should be chopped by him.

However, Willow has the longest seniority in the team, second only to the fire leader, and is also the main attacker.

She took the giant axe from her teammate.

This bear demon was like a small mountain even when lying down, so she had to step on the bear's head, hold the axe with both hands, and chop down with great force.

The axe blade hadn't reached the neck yet, when the fainted giant bear suddenly rose up.

Willow couldn't stand firm, couldn't retreat in time, and was grabbed on the calf by the giant bear, screaming in pain.

The giant bear pressed her down and was about to tear her alive.

Tigers and leopards will choke the prey's throat, making it stop breathing before eating, but bears often like to disembowel the prey and eat it alive.

This giant bear also knew that its life was coming to an end, and only hoped to open her chest, tear her belly and intestines, and vent all its hatred on its opponent.

Just as its fangs were about to pierce into her belly, there was a flash of cold light from above.

The bear's head suddenly fell off, and hot neck blood sprayed Willow all over her head and mouth.

It was the thin man closest to her who picked up the axe, and with a hand-up-axe-down.

The bear head rolled twice on the ground, and the steel teeth above and below "clicked" and closed fiercely, the scarlet little eyes still staring round.

Willow, who was pressed under the huge bear body, saw this and shuddered.

If it were one breath later, a big hole would have been opened in her belly.

This time the bear demon was truly dead, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

"Help me..." Willow asked for help with difficulty.

The team members tried hard to push the bear corpse away, and Willow cried out in pain, because the bear's claws were still hooked on her calf, and the wound was bloody.

Another big man "Door Panel" changed the medicine, helping Willow treat the wound, and Liu Tong said to the others: "Go dig a pit and bury the villagers."

The team members returned to the village to find hoes.

It was a mess here, the wooden house was knocked out of a big hole, furniture was overturned everywhere, and you could find the corpse along the blood trail.

The bear demon killed eight people, but only ate young children and teenagers, especially liking to eat eyeballs, and the remains were unbearable to look at.

A team member joined the army three months ago, and it wasn't that he hadn't encountered dead people, but he saw the deceased open his mouth as soon as he entered the house, and a pair of bloody holes missing eyeballs stared straight at him.

He couldn't help it, and vomited with a "wow."

The picture was too miserable, and it also had an impact on He Lingchuan. He turned his head away, silently reciting "This is a dream."

Everyone silently collected the corpses and took them to the open space behind the village to bury them properly.

The bear demon rushed out from the mountain, and the Military Merit Division received the village's request for help, so it sent He Lingchuan's team to eliminate the demon.

Everyone communicated while digging the pit, and all said that the demons eliminated recently were much more powerful than a few months ago.

In the world of Panlongcheng, at this time, two months had passed since the Emperor's Flowing Pulp appeared, and the sequelae of the Emperor's Flowing Pulp event were also revealed, that is, the new demons pointed out on the entire Panlong Wasteland were like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and the old demons were becoming more powerful.

This kind of new demon that has just attained the Dao is like a teenager of fourteen or fifteen, with surging power and soaring confidence, having a kind of illusion that I am the best in the world, and the spiritual wisdom is still a bit ignorant, but the temperament has become exceptionally middle-school and exceptionally violent, and it takes several months to slowly calm down.

At this time, their threat to humans is great. Whether it is the Panlong Wasteland or the Chapa Plateau, reports of demons attacking people are endless. Population is one of the most precious resources in Panlongcheng, and the official will not let the man-eating demons go unpunished.

Since He Lingchuan joined the patrol team, he has performed seven missions to eliminate demons outside. The old team members said that the Chapa Plateau was very calm before the Emperor's Flowing Pulp, and so many cases might not have been accumulated in half a year.

Before burial, He Lingchuan reached out to close the deceased's eyes.

This is the training he must endure.

Fighting and killing are the best ways to temper the blade and will.

But human life is so fragile, whether in Panlongcheng or the real world.

Door Panel found a few sticks of incense and lit them on the grave, chanting a eulogy, wishing them rebirth in the God Kingdom.

He Lingchuan had heard it many times, and knew that the object of their prayer was "Lady Mitian," which is the god who bestowed the Great Fang Hu and General Hong, and has always protected Panlongcheng.

After handling the aftermath of the villagers, the team found a forage cart to carry the bear corpse, harnessed the horse, and walked toward Panlongcheng.

This is the team's trophy; the bear head is to be sent to the Military Merit Division as a token, and the rest is distributed by the fire leader to the team members; those with more merit get more, and those with less merit get less.

They had just loaded the bear corpse when a huge sika deer paced out of the forest, with moss already growing on its spectacular antlers, and two small flowers blooming. It wasn't afraid of people either, walked over and spoke in human language: "Thousand Ridge Mountain Swamp wants me to tell you that many unfamiliar demons have appeared near White Head Mountain, including birds and beasts."

Fire leader Liu Tong stepped forward: "Are they not newborn demons?"

"No." The sika deer said, "They appeared together with the new demon tide after the Emperor's Flowing Pulp, trying to muddle through. But the Mountain Swamp judged that they are from outside."

"Thank you for the information, we will report it as soon as possible."

After the Emperor's Flowing Pulp came out, there were many moths, both by heaven and by man.

The sika deer nodded and paced slowly into the forest.

Panlongcheng, as the hegemon on the wasteland, firmly controls the entire Chapa Plateau behind it. The mountain swamps and water spirits here are all enfeoffed by it and perform the duty of collaborative management.

Otherwise, the plateau is so vast and empty, and the enemy's spies can always come up; how can they be expelled by relying on Panlongcheng's manpower? At this time, the Chapa Plateau, the distant slopes are dyed with layers of forest, showing the majesty of the mountain city, and the river is clear like a jade belt, winding in the golden wilderness.

Heaven and earth are so vast and magnificent, enough to sweep away the tragedy and anger everyone had just experienced.

He Lingchuan took a long breath, and the air here seemed sweet.

But he had indeed seen the Chapa Plateau two hundred years later.

What kind of power can turn the lively and beautiful mountains and rivers into a desolate and monotonous sand sea? Now, perhaps he is walking in the world built by this kind of power.

Just thinking about it makes him a little excited.

Not long after, the team returned to Panlongcheng and headed straight for the Military Merit Division.

Only after handing over the mission can they distribute the spoils.

Panlongcheng is prosperous in all trades, with a fine division of labor, and there is even a professional hunting workshop to handle the spoils obtained in the wild for the patrols. The bear demon is one of the most popular varieties; claws and teeth can be used to refine weapons, fur can be used for soft armor and cloaks, and gall, eyeballs, and inner alchemy can be used to refine medicine; it is a treasure all over.

He Lingchuan was also calculating in his heart that after receiving this merit, the accumulated military merit should be enough to exchange for another magical power.

He had long been eyeing it, and wanted the Li Dai Tao Jiang technique.

The explanation of this magical power is also very simple: it can make the user and a specific "cicada slough" instantly swap positions, provided that both sides are in the same space and the distance does not exceed five zhang, and it can only be used once every three hours.

Just this one sentence is enough to make people imagine the usage scenarios. Needless to say, Li Dai Tao Jiang not only makes He Lingchuan's combat methods more flexible, but also adds a life-saving skill.

As for the spoils, He Lingchuan was assigned half a bear paw, a bear kidney, and the thin man also handed him an eyeball.

This is also an unwritten rule; if your life was saved by a teammate, you must have a material reward. So He Lingchuan didn't decline, and happily accepted it.

Few people swallow such great tonic things directly; He Lingchuan can ask A-Luo to make it into pills, or hand it over to the Military Merit Division in exchange for merit, or sell it directly, with many uses.

Over there, the thin man was listless.

Originally, he acted as bait today and ran wildly with the bear, but was slapped by the bear onto the tree, and also scrapped an amulet.

Without this amulet to protect him, I'm afraid the bear demon could have opened a skylight on his back with one palm.

This kind of life-saving thing is not cheap, and he felt heartache when he thought about it, and his back was still aching.

At this time, Willow walked over and simply gave the most valuable bear gall to him, to thank him for saving her life. The resentment of the latter disappeared instantly, and he laughed until he saw his teeth and didn't see his eyes.
