Chapter 839: If You've Got the Guts, Come At Me

Xia Qing's sniping ability had indeed reached a top-tier level, but she didn't use a gun, because injuring a bear in this kind of situation would surely provoke the bears into attacking the human base.

Without a gun, Xia Qing's combat power was far, far less than that of the speed-evolved giant bear from earlier, whose strength had reached a terrifying level.

But Lord Huo Lei wasn't worried about Xia Qing's safety at all, because no matter how fierce the bears were, only six had come, and they still had to protect one bear whose anesthetic hadn't worn off yet — they were no match for dozens of wolves.

The reason the wolf pack called Xia Qing over, Watching Huo Zhun somehow felt, had something to do with that monk-faced monkey. So he took off impatiently, wanting to see clearly from the air.

Seeing the helicopter take off smoothly, with no deformation of the fuselage and no obvious scratches on its surface, Xia Qing felt relieved and followed Wolf Lao Er up the slope.

The instant she climbed over the slope and saw the two giant bears, Xia Qing's heart clenched sharply.

Last year, Yang Jin had shown her footage of giant bears, giant pythons, and the wolf pack facing off. At the time, watching the giant bears on the monitor, Xia Qing had already felt deeply shaken.

Earlier, from the helicopter, watching the giant bears below sprinting and leaping at terrifying speed, shattering stones and snapping trees wherever they passed, she had felt even more shaken. But now, seeing these two giant bears up close, the shock multiplied several times over!

The handsome giant wolf, 1.6 meters at the shoulder and 2.4 meters at the head, was terrifying enough — but damn, the giant bear leader standing on two legs facing the alpha wolf was at least 4.5 meters tall!

What was even more terrifying was that this guy was also a speed evolver. Xia Qing felt the alpha wolf's speed couldn't even compare to its.

With her damaged hearing, Xia Qing didn't hear the bear's roar as very loud, but its mouth was so huge it could fit Xia Qing's head, still wearing her protective mask, right inside.

Even a human with top-tier combat ability, without weapons, wouldn't necessarily be its match.

Xia Qing's gaze fell on the alpha wolf, standing on a boulder, roaring back at the giant bear leader.

Counting back to Year Nine of the Calamity, when the alpha wolf led the pack and wiped out the 12-person Fengyun Squad, Xia Qing had never seen it this wild and domineering!

Its head height was a little shorter than Xia Qing's, only 1.65 meters. But standing on the boulder roaring at the giant bear, its presence didn't lose out one bit.

Only now, with her ears buzzing and crackling, Xia Qing couldn't tell whether the alpha wolf's current roar was louder than the one last year in mid-October, when she was hiding in the cave on Mountain 60, covered in wounds, and the alpha wolf went out to fight the giant bear.

That night in mid-July last year, when the alpha wolf led its pack to face this group of bears — did it roar like this too?

After losing Mountain 55 in defeat, how much courage did the alpha wolf need to dare lead its injured companions into human territory, using herbs and yi stones, to ask her to save the wolves?

Over a dozen minutes later, the face-off between the wolf pack and the bear leader escalated into a face-off between the wolf pack and the entire bear group. Wolf Lao Er, standing beside Xia Qing, also took an attacking stance, showing its fiercest side.

In this roaring contest with the bears, the wolf pack had to gain the upper hand to win the negotiations that would follow!

Xia Qing now felt immensely grateful her ears were injured — the earth-shaking roars of these two apex predators sounded to her no louder than the crackling and buzzing in her ears.

But to Er Yong and the others rushing over to support, the sound was absolutely terrifying. Jing Kuan immediately contacted Seeing Xin Yu, "What's the situation now? Do you need us to come support?"

Pale-faced, Seeing Xin Yu looked down at the bears and wolves facing off, and at Xia Qing standing quietly behind the combat-ready wolf pack, and answered, "Not needed for now. They haven't started fighting yet."

"Animals living in Evolution Forest have no medical technology or means — injury means death." Zhang Song, who specialized in studying evolved animals, was extremely excited, recording as he spoke. "So when animals of similar or different species with comparable strength clash, they display their power to intimidate the other side into backing off. Only if the other side refuses to retreat do they actually fight."

"Roaring, slamming into trees, smashing boulders — in their eyes, these are all ways to display strength and intimidate opponents. Look, even that bear whose anesthetic hasn't fully worn off is roaring."

On the scene, only two weren't joining in the roaring: Xia Qing, standing beside the wolf-dog Wolf Lao Er, and Does Daigua the monkey, lying among the bears.

Just then, the situation suddenly changed.

The second giant bear in the bear group — the one that wasn't a speed evolver — suddenly bent down, grabbed Does Daigua the monkey lying on the ground with its huge paw, and placed it on its shoulder.

The alpha wolf, the broken-waisted wolf, and the handsome giant wolf all turned their heads in unison to look at Xia Qing, standing at the very back of the wolf formation.

Wolf Lao Er nudged Xia Qing with its body — it wasn't gentle — signaling her to go to the front, that it was her turn to fight.

At that very moment, Xia Qing suddenly understood — and... lost it!

Damn evolved bears actually thought she was on the same level as that Daigua monkey — was there even a single hair's worth of comparability?!

Who are you insulting?!

Xia Qing leaped to the alpha wolf's side in a single bound, ripped off her protective mask, tore down the black face covering, pointed at the bears and started cursing wildly, "You bunch of Jiang Xiazi bears, every single one of you is a Bai Chi!!"

Seeing the human on their side hopping and roaring to display her strength, the monkey on the bears' side was too stunned to roar back. The wolf pack's morale soared, and their roars shook the heavens.

The giant bear patted Does Daigua the monkey on its shoulder, found it didn't move, and with a flick of its hand tossed the embarrassing creature aside, then roared at Xia Qing itself.

The moment that stupid bear roared, Xia Qing's fury became even harder to contain. She roared louder than it: "You son of a bitch bringing a Daigua monkey here to insult who?! You bunch of idiots!"

"I alone can take on twenty Daigua monkeys!"

"What the hell are you roaring for — if you've got the guts, come at me! I'll kill you!!"

After Xia Qing joined the fight, only one on the scene wasn't roaring: Does Daigua the monkey, lying in the grass staring at the sky.

On the helicopter, Zhang Song got even more excited. "Look, Xia Qing joined in! She's standing at the very front of the wolf pack — her combat ability has been recognized by the pack!"

Yan Long, gripping the control stick, asked, "Which of you two can fly a helicopter?"

Zhang Song shook his head. Seeing Xin Yu, fighting her discomfort, spoke up, "I can."

Yan Long ordered, "When the wolves and bears start fighting later, I'll go down and join the fight. Seeing Xin Yu will fly the helicopter."

Zhang Song reminded her, "Sister Yan, we have a machine gun."

Yan Long stared down at Xia Qing, already in the fight, her blood boiling. "Using hot weapons would be a desecration of this contest."

On the other helicopter, Watching Huo Zhun's blood was boiling too: See? It's not just him who thinks Xia Qing and that monkey look alike — the bears think so too!

Who would win between evolved wolves and evolved bears, Watching Huo Zhun didn't know, but if Xia Qing went up against that monk-faced monkey, Xia Qing would definitely win!

Not knowing whether it understood Xia Qing's cursing or just found her jumping around an eyesore, the roaring giant bear raised its huge paw and slapped a boulder to pieces with a crack.

Already in a frenzy, Xia Qing didn't hesitate — she drew her black long blade and split an even bigger boulder, then pointed the blade tip at the giant bear and kept cursing, "That counts for shit! If you've got the guts, come at me — let's fight!"

"Roar————"

"Awoo——whine————"

"Come on then, come at me!"
