Chapter 4: Killing the Big Dog Bear

From the start of the battle, Meng Dayong had been desperately blocking the front. The Level 1 High-Grade Big Dog Bear possessed immense strength; every time its bear paw swiped, it could split stones and shatter monuments. If an ordinary person were to take a single blow, they would be smashed into a pulp.

Although Meng Dayong was a First Grade High-Level Martial Artist, he was at a disadvantage when going head-to-head with a Big Dog Bear of the same level.

If it were one-on-one, Meng Dayong should have used movement techniques to dodge the bear paw's attacks, then sought out the Big Dog Bear's flaws to strike its vital points. However, he could not dodge now; if he stepped aside, the other bears would charge into the house, and in that case, Meng Yifan would be in danger.

To protect his son and to buy time for his son to load the gun, Meng Dayong could only guard the doorway, forcibly blocking the attacks of the Big Dog Bears. This caused wounds to appear on his body continuously. The battle had only lasted two or three minutes, yet his body was already covered in scars, and he was being beaten to the point of vomiting blood, at risk of collapsing at any moment.

"Oh no!" Meng Yifan was loading ammunition while keeping an eye on Meng Dayong's battle. Seeing that Meng Dayong was on the verge of collapse, he knew things were looking bad.

"No time left." Meng Yifan stopped loading ammunition, attached the Gun Knife to the Bird Gun, and walked to Meng Dayong's side, his entire body radiating a murderous aura.

"Murderous aura?" Meng Dayong was greatly shocked. He glanced at Meng Yifan from the corner of his eye, confirming that the dense murderous aura was indeed being released from Meng Yifan's body.

Meng Dayong had been on the battlefield; he had felt similar murderous auras from veterans who had killed until their eyes turned red. But Meng Yifan had never been to a battlefield, and in the past, he had been somewhat cowardly, afraid to see blood, not even daring to kill a chicken. How could he have such a tragic and fierce murderous aura now?

"Dad, you handle that big guy, I'll handle the smaller one," Meng Yifan said.

"That smaller bear is also comparable to a First Grade Lower Stage Martial Artist. Are you sure you can beat it?"

Meng Dayong was somewhat uneasy. Close-quarters combat and shooting with a Bird Gun from a distance were two completely different things; a moment of carelessness and he would be swatted to death by the bear. He really did not want Meng Yifan to take the risk, but he was already injured and simply could not finish off the remaining two Big Dog Bears.

Meng Yifan said firmly, "Don't worry, I can do it."

Meng Dayong smiled with relief. At this critical moment, Meng Yifan had truly grown up and learned to share the danger for his old man. He was worthy of being his own flesh and blood.

"Brothers fight tigers together, father and son go into battle as a team. Let us father and son fight side by side." Meng Dayong laughed loudly, then his True Qi surged, and he swung the Mountain Opening Blade with all his might, attacking the Level 1 High-Grade Big Dog Bear frantically. He needed to finish off this Big Dog Bear as quickly as possible so he could go help Meng Yifan.

Meng Yifan crouched slightly, gripped the Bird Gun with both hands, and pointed the Gun Knife at the smaller Big Dog Bear. His gaze was fixed tightly on the Big Dog Bear's eyes, which made the Big Dog Bear feel very uncomfortable, as if it were prey being stared at by a hunter.

Murderous aura is formless and intangible, yet it truly exists. A person with a murderous aura can make an enemy fearful with just a look, causing them to lose heart before the fight even begins. This is also why those battle-hardened veterans become braver the more they fight in hand-to-hand combat.

"Roar!" The Big Dog Bear let out an angry roar, and a fan-sized bear paw swiped toward Meng Yifan's head.

Meng Yifan nimbly retreated half a step, dodged the bear paw, then pushed off the ground with his right leg, his body lunging forward violently as he shouted, "Kill!"

The Gun Knife in Meng Yifan's hand was like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, stabbing straight toward the Big Dog Bear's neck.

"Damn it! Is its skin really that thick?" The Gun Knife stabbed into the Big Dog Bear's neck like it was stabbing into a thick tire; it barely pierced in a little bit before it could go no further.

"It's not just that the Big Dog Bear's skin is thick; it's also because this body is only ten years old, the bones and muscles haven't fully developed, and there isn't enough strength."

Meng Yifan quickly thought through his tactics in his mind. He absolutely could not fight the Big Dog Bear head-on; that would be suicide. He could only use his speed advantage to attack the Big Dog Bear's vital parts.

The Big Dog Bear took that hit to the neck and felt very uncomfortable. It wailed in pain, extended sharp claws from its bear paws, and attacked Meng Yifan rapidly.

Meng Yifan hurriedly retreated, like a nimble little monkey, circling around the Big Dog Bear. He found opportunities to stab with the Bird Gun whenever he could; he wanted to stab the Big Dog Bear's eyes.

But this Big Dog Bear was very clever. As its bear paws swung, it was both attacking and defending with great discipline, always protecting its vital parts like its eyes and mouth, never giving Meng Yifan a chance to attack.

The Big Dog Bear was tall and its bear paws had great strength, whistling as they swung, but its body was somewhat clumsy and its turning speed was not fast. Meng Yifan was small but very agile, and combined with the footwork he had learned in his previous life, he twisted and dodged the Big Dog Bear's attacks.

"Is this still a Wild Beast?" Meng Yifan became more and more alarmed as he fought. He felt that he was not facing a Big Dog Bear, but a martial arts master from Earth who excelled in palm techniques. And this was only a Level 1 Wild Beast; to what extent must that Flying Tiger Demon be monstrous?

"Roar! Roar!" The Big Dog Bear attacked several times in a row without catching Meng Yifan, which made it somewhat anxious.

Meng Yifan was also getting anxious. His physical fitness was truly poor, not only because he was only ten years old, but also because he often ate Guanyin clay to stave off hunger. A little intense activity made him break out in a cold sweat, and he simply could not fight for a long time.

"If you can defend your vital parts in the front, I don't believe you can defend your back as well."

Meng Yifan increased his speed, circled behind the Big Dog Bear, and stabbed the Gun Knife straight into the Big Dog Bear's backside.

"Puchi!" The Gun Knife stabbed half a meter deep, and Meng Yifan even twisted it fiercely, causing the wound to widen further and blood to flow uncontrollably.

"Awoo..." The Big Dog Bear suffered this inhumane blow and wailed in pain. It reached its bear paw behind to try and block the wound. Meng Yifan took the opportunity to pull out the Gun Knife, quickly circled to the front, and stabbed straight toward the Big Dog Bear's eyes.

The Big Dog Bear swung its bear paw to protect its eyes, but Meng Yifan slid his feet, darted to the back again, and stabbed down into the Big Dog Bear's backside once more.

"Ao!" The Big Dog Bear let out a miserable cry. It had never seen such a despicable and shameless human. It could no longer worry about defending its eyes; one bear paw protected its back while the other attacked Meng Yifan. It was determined to tear this human into pieces and eat him bit by bit.

"Kill!" Meng Yifan was waiting for this exact opportunity. His body flashed nimbly, dodging the bear paw's attack, then he stepped forward, the Gun Knife piercing toward the Big Dog Bear's eye like lightning.

"Puchi!" The Gun Knife pierced into the Big Dog Bear's right eye, then continued forward, stabbing directly into the Big Dog Bear's brain.

Red bear blood and white brain matter flowed out along the Gun Knife. The Big Dog Bear twitched a few times, then fell to the ground, very unwilling.

"Ding! Team hunt of one Level 1 Low-Grade Wild Beast successful, gained 20 Experience Value."

Meng Yifan leaned on the Bird Gun, panting heavily. The battle just now had been very short, lasting less than a minute, but this body felt as if it had run a ten-thousand-meter marathon; he was so tired he could barely stand.

"Too weak, I need to nourish this body properly," Meng Yifan muttered.

"Roar!" The last remaining Big Dog Bear let out a mournful cry. The five Big Dog Bears that entered the village this time were one big family; that Level 1 High-Grade Big Dog Bear was the father, and the other four smaller bears were its cubs.

All four cubs had been killed by people. As the bear father, it was naturally burning with rage. It abandoned Meng Dayong and wanted to attack Meng Yifan. It was this little brat who killed its three cubs; it wanted to smash Meng Yifan into a pulp first, then deal with Meng Dayong.

"Your opponent is me." Meng Dayong channeled his remaining True Qi into his right leg. His right leg swelled up as if it had been inflated, expanding by a large margin, causing his pants to burst open. The veins on his right leg bulged, and the strong, powerful muscles looked like steel wires twisted together.

"Get lost, you bastard!" Meng Dayong roared and kicked fiercely toward the Big Dog Bear with his right leg.

"Bang!" The Big Dog Bear's massive body was actually kicked five or six meters away, colliding with a wall with a loud noise, causing the entire wall to collapse.

"Such powerful strength." Meng Yifan was dumbfounded. If this Big Dog Bear stood up, it would be two and a half meters tall, and it weighed at least eight or nine hundred kilograms.

Meng Dayong actually kicked this big guy away with one foot. How much strength did that kick have? It probably had at least 1.5 tons of impact force.

With strength like Meng Dayong's, if he went to Earth to fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, what fighter could block a kick like that? Wouldn't he be able to win the championship easily?

"Yifan, don't just stand there, hurry up and load the ammunition," Meng Dayong said. His True Qi was limited; he could only perform that violent kick once. To finish off the Level 1 High-Grade Big Dog Bear, it would still require a bitter battle.

Meng Yifan came to his senses and hurriedly began to load the ammunition. The Big Dog Bear scrambled out, covered in dirt and grime, wanting to attack Meng Yifan, but Meng Dayong held the Mountain Opening Blade and blocked its path firmly.

Man and bear fought again. With only the last bear left, Meng Dayong did not have to go head-to-head every time, making his defense slightly easier. Meng Yifan also loaded the ammunition with nimble hands and feet. After about a minute, he finally finished loading the ammunition again. He crouched halfway, raised the Bird Gun, and aimed at the Big Dog Bear.

Meng Dayong saw from the corner of his eye that Meng Yifan was ready to shoot, so he swayed his body, revealing the line of fire.

Meng Yifan was quick-eyed and fast-handed, decisively pulling the trigger.

"Bang!" The Bird Gun made a huge sound, sparks flew, and a Lead Bullet sprayed out, drilling precisely into the Big Dog Bear's right eye.

"Ding! Team hunt of one Level 1 High-Grade Wild Beast successful, gained 80 Experience Value." The crisp female voice sounded in Meng Yifan's mind once again.

The battle finally ended. Meng Yifan sat on the ground, feeling his whole body sore and weak, without even the strength to move a finger.
