Chapter 277: Hunting

Baifeng really wanted to scratch his scalp, as the tingling sensation made him feel very uncomfortable, but he was holding things in his hands, making it inconvenient.

He looked up at the Heaven, and unexpectedly, with just that glance, he saw a giant brown bear hanging from a tree trunk, drooling.

Baifeng could not maintain his composure; although he had been in this Kingdom for many years, he had never encountered these giant beasts face-to-face. It was always his tribesmen, his Soldiers, who faced them, while he spent most of his time in the fields.

So, when he saw a bear with a ferocious look, a body size comparable to a car, and drool dripping down, he couldn't help but shout out.

"Bear! The damn bear is in the tree!"

Baifeng didn't dare to shoot his Arrow, fearing that if the Soldiers weren't ready, he would only anger the bear, which would be bad.

Hearing the Tribal Chief's words, the Soldiers all turned and looked up at the tree, and sure enough, a giant bear was hanging there.

Even the most experienced hunter would have trembling legs seeing this thing; the gap in strength was too great. If they didn't have such good Weapons, they would all be finished here today.

Now, because they had such good Weapons and there were many Soldiers, they could still maintain their composure and see if there was a glimmer of hope for survival.

Everyone dared not act rashly, but the bear didn't hold back anymore. It was unclear why it had been staying in the tree without attacking, but after being discovered by Baifeng and the others, it paused for only a few seconds before rapidly sliding down the tree.

Its fat body undulated like a wave, and its speed was extremely fast. Baifeng's Soldiers could no longer maintain their composure and began to retreat sideways. Baifeng was among them, not daring to stop for even a moment.

After the bear landed, it turned and began to sprint. Baifeng hurriedly ordered everyone to fire. Before he had even finished speaking, his own Arrow had already been shot. Afterward, he threw down his Crossbow and gripped his Knife, though he didn't stop running under his feet.

There were only five of them holding Crossbows in total. After all of them fired, only three arrows hit. Added to the distance and the bear's sturdy body, it seemed those few arrows didn't cause much trauma to the bear.

The bear continued to run toward them with the arrows stuck in it; the arrows embedded in its body only made it even more furious.

Seeing that they couldn't outrun it and the bear was catching up, Baifeng hardened his heart and directly ordered everyone to stop and face the battle.

Once the words were spoken, six hunters stopped in response and gripped their Knives, blocking the way in front of Baifeng. Two people hesitated for a moment; clearly, they were truly terrified in their hearts, but they had to obey the Tribal Chief's order, so they also stopped, trembling as they gripped their Knives and stood behind everyone else.

There were three others who seemed not to have heard Baifeng's order and continued to run for their lives. Baifeng had no time to worry about them now; he had to deal with this bear first.

The bear saw a group of weak monkeys standing in a Platoon, holding strange things and waiting for its attack. Thinking of its own pain, it ignored everything and charged straight ahead.

It rushed forward and braked sharply, kicking up a cloud of dust, then raised its bear paw high and swatted one person down, though a sharp pain also shot through its arm.

Of the seven people in front, the unluckiest one had already been swatted down, vomiting blood, life or death unknown. Only one person had managed to slash the bear's front leg with a Knife, but it wasn't a clean hit, only causing a wound.

However, after this impact, their formation was scattered. Baifeng felt his heart rate had gone through the roof. Apart from the day he first arrived, he had never been so terrified or so nervous.

The two people hiding at the back saw this situation and ran away without looking back. In such a life-or-death moment, their own lives were far more important than the Tribal Chief's. Baifeng didn't have time to feel cold-hearted; it was uncertain if they could even survive today. If their luck were at its worst, the tribe might cease to exist, and the futures of the two most important children he had in this world would likely be unknown.

If the tribesmen valued him as their Tribal Chief enough, then Yulong might still have a chance to lead the tribe. If the tribesmen chose power and profit, then his children might not even live until Winter.

Thinking of this, Baifeng hardened his heart. Since the damn Heaven had sent him to this damn place, and he had finally found people he couldn't let go of, what would be the point of him coming to this world if he just died like this?

So he roared directly: "Form up! Surround it!"

Those still alive were called back to their senses by Baifeng's roar. Finally having a bit of a plan, they hurriedly grabbed their Weapons and moved toward Baifeng.

At this moment, the thoroughly enraged bear no longer cared about Baifeng and the others, but set its sights on those who were fleeing. In its eyes, this group of monkeys were all its food, and it had to kill the ones running away first.

Thus, before the terrified eyes of Baifeng and the others, the two people who had fled were caught one by one, pounced upon, and had their necks bitten through amidst their screams, their bellies ripped open by sharp claws, letting blood and entrails spill out wantonly.

The blood-covered bear turned back to look at Baifeng and the others. At this time, the bear was covered in blood not only on its face and claws but also on its body. It was unknown whose blood it was. Since it was already injured, the arrows that had been shot in had their shafts invisible; Baifeng estimated they had been snapped by the bear's muscles, with the arrowheads still inside its body. Once their arrows hit, at that distance, it was absolutely impossible for them to fall out.

Now the bear wanted to run, but it looked very strenuous, perhaps because the two previous charges had worsened its injuries. However, it was still confident, charging toward Baifeng and the others with a slower, limping body.

This time, because of the slow speed, Baifeng and the others had time to react. Baifeng hurriedly ordered them to scatter.

The six people quickly formed a pocket-shaped circle. The bear rushed over, paused slightly, then picked a target and quickly charged toward it.

The person targeted had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight; he had already seen the fate of those who ran away, so he fought for his life.

The bear rushed over, and Baifeng also ordered them to charge. Everyone formed a surrounding circle and slashed at the bear's back. The bear was struck by several Knives, its skin torn and flesh mangled, but it had already swatted down with one paw. The person who was hit blocked it with their arm, then fell to the ground with a scream.

After being slashed, the bear had completely lost its reason. It abandoned the person it had just knocked down and turned to lock its target onto Baifeng, who was making the most noise.

Now the bear's movement speed could be said to be sluggish, because these animals did not have such great stamina, and it had already suffered heavy injuries, with the muscles on its back slashed extremely deep.

By the time it slowly walked toward Baifeng with large strides, Baifeng was no longer overly panicked, because he knew the bear was at the point of collapsing, not to mention the others had already closed in.

The bear raised its two front paws to pounce on Baifeng. Baifeng directly plunged a Knife into the bear's chest and then quickly ran away. The bear had no strength left and lay powerlessly on the ground, feeling its lifeblood drain away.

The hunters who had closed in each struck the bear's back with a Knife, finally finishing off this bear.
