Chapter 13 Unexpected

  Indestructible Primordial Spirit

  It's undoubtedly exciting to encounter a big guy, after all, killing a larger beast like a bear or a giant snake yields much more profit than ten or so black deers.

  "Judging from the footprints, it should be a brown bear, but this one seems to be a big fellow, several times larger than any I've seen before!" Lu Kang explained as they arrived at the scene of the discovery, fearing that Lu Qi didn't have experience, "It's probably over a thousand catties..."

  The strong wind made him shudder: "It's not easy to kill such a big brown bear, if things go wrong, people will die! At the beginning of the year, during the spring hunt, that 700-pound one killed three people!"

  Daxun, still bearing the weight of his guilt, wanted to make amends and so he curled up his lip: "Wealth and honor are sought in danger, it's not easy to come across a big catch like this. The bait I've been preparing hasn't even been used yet, if we don't use it now it'll go bad!"

  What Dashun said was bait, it was actually the corpse of Dagu, after simple treatment, a lot of anesthetic made from the powder of the puzzling flower was poured in, this was the "killing trick" for northwest hunters to kill large ferocious beasts.

  "Has the activity range of this big guy been determined?" Lu Qi looked at Da Shun, who was in charge of searching for this dense forest.

  "Alright, I've found a spot up ahead with slightly higher ground. There's a patch of shrubs over there that has signs of its resting place. We can't stay here for too long, the brown bear's sense of smell is keen and it could discover us at any moment!"

  "Put down the bait, leave ten people with pitchforks and ropes to follow me up the tree, don't get too close to the bait!" Lu Qi nodded decisively: "The rest of you keep a distance..."

  "Ten people... is it enough?" Lu Kang was quite worried, thinking about the thousand-pound brown bear was terrifying.

  Lu Qiying said: "If the bait doesn't work, having more people won't help. On the contrary, too many people will only scare it away!"

  "Right, that time it was that big guy who got startled and the anesthetic hadn't taken effect yet. He just flared up and killed a few people. Tiger Head, I'm counting as one!"

  Someone responded, and the villagers asked to go to war. After all, there is a clear rule in the northwest that those who make more contributions in dealing with large beasts will also get an extra share of food when they return to their village.

  Apart from Da Feng, there were also Da Shun and Da Lin, four small team leaders. Lu Qi chose five old hands with great strength to start this perilous hunt. Lu Kang was naturally a good hand, but since his ration had been upgraded, it wasn't necessary for him to take too much risk, so Lu Qi let him manage the remaining Ze slaves.

  In order to better attract the sloth bear, Dashen even applied a layer of honey containing anesthetic on the already smelly corpse in Daguna, before running tens of meters away and climbing up a tall palm tree with agility, carrying a forked gun and rope.

  Soon, a giant brown-black bear with a body length of nearly one meter and a shoulder height of one meter five emerged from the dense shrubs. Its black nose twitched as it lowered its head and walked towards Da Gu's corpse, pausing every few steps, seemingly sensing whether there was any danger.

  Including Lu Qi, hiding in the palm tree, Zenu's gaze met the giant bear, and he didn't dare to make a sound, because this bear was too big, its weight probably exceeded 2,000 kilograms, and when it stepped, the entire ground seemed to vibrate.

  Lu Diji's eyes lit up, in his previous life, he had seen many bears, especially Asian black bears, but he had never seen such a terrifying body shape, and was afraid that even the polar bear and the largest brown bear would be smaller than it.

  Such a huge brown bear, the power of its slap is absolutely over a thousand kilograms, and even a thick tree trunk may not be able to withstand its few slaps. Every Zelan is praying that this big guy will quickly eat the bait, so that people can feel some sense of safety! No Zelan would joke with their own life, once they startled this giant bear, the first target of its attack would probably be unable to escape, even if Anze were still alive, he couldn't stop it.

  Finally, the giant bear walked to the side of Da Gu's corpse and gently pushed it with its paw. Due to the existence of a small mechanism set up by Da Shun, Da Gu's body actually bounced slightly under this tiny force, as if a sleeping person was awakened.

  In past hunting experiences, the action of the decoy often stimulated fierce beasts, and this time was no exception. The giant bear seemed to be startled as well, its body shrinking back before suddenly thrusting out a paw!

  "Bang!" A crisp sound, Da Gu's huge head was smashed like a big watermelon, white and red splashing everywhere like a watermelon sac. Witnessing this scene, Ze Nu's heart skipped a beat.

  Lu Qi's gaze grew brighter, and the giant bear's palm just now perfectly interpreted the phrase "great clumsiness is great cleverness". The body's functions were matched seamlessly at this moment. That palm was released, undoubtedly releasing a clear and powerful force, combined with the strength of a thousand kilograms, how could it not smash someone's head to pieces?

  It seemed to be very satisfied with its spoils, the giant bear relaxed its body, shook its head and pounced on Da Gu's corpse, tearing and biting it as it began to feed. The speed of feeding was very fast, and soon half of the body was eaten clean, even the bones were crushed into powder, as if it was extremely hungry.

  Originally, they were waiting for the giant bear to finish eating all the bait, and then wait until it fainted before making a move to kill it, which would have been absolutely safe. However, no one expected that at this moment, an unexpected event occurred!

  The usually skilled Big Wind this time, however, somehow didn't hold steady the pitchfork in his hand, and it fell from the tree, at the same time letting out a soft "ah" due to anxiety.

  Good grief, and because of his excellent hunting skills, the palm tree that Da Feng found was relatively closer to where Mi Gao was than expected, which undoubtedly startled the giant bear.

  "Grrr..." The giant bear was very alert, and with a swipe of its paw, it flung away the sticky entrails from its mouth. It looked towards the palm tree where the strong wind was coming from, and suddenly charged forward as its nostrils twitched.

  Lu Di's pupils contracted, this giant bear was really fast, and it covered a distance of tens of meters in just a few pounces! Then, he saw the giant bear use its momentum to rise up, crashing and slapping against the tree trunk with a loud bang. The explosive force that burst out was even more astonishing, and it was likely to have the power of a thousand kilograms.

  "Crack!" The sound of the tree trunk splitting was accompanied by a rustling of leaves, and the strong wind was forced to fall from the tree, only to be met with those five fingers, all of which were stained with blood.

  A strong gust of wind, not only did he fall from over ten meters high without a scratch, but this time he dodged and ran towards the tree where Lu Qi was standing, shouting: "Tiger Head, save me!"

  Lu Qi's eyes narrowed slightly as he crouched on the crown of the palm tree, his gaze fixed intently on the giant bear following closely behind the strong wind.

  It's hard to make this judgment, because the giant bear's movements will completely follow the escape of the strong wind and make adjustments. In other words, Lu Qi still needs to judge in advance what actions the strong wind may take.

  When a person is in a desperate situation, their potential will explode. With the strong wind chasing him, he felt the pungent smell of blood close at hand. With a rustling sound, he climbed up to the trunk of the palm tree where Lu Qi was with his fastest climbing speed ever.

  Then the giant bear slapped its palm on the palm tree again, and at this moment, Lu Qi jumped down, holding the beheading knife tightly in both hands, and chopped straight at the giant bear's raised face and nose bridge!

  The sword flashed like a startled swan goose, but what made Lu Qi astonished was that the giant bear suddenly dodged its head to the left, avoiding this fatal blow. However, its right ear did not escape disaster, and a large piece of fur was cut off by the sharp beheading knife.

  Lu Qi himself, at the point of exhaustion, stepped on the giant bear's thick back and borrowed strength to flip over and roll out for more than ten feet!

  Without any reason, his ears and a piece of flesh were cut off. Anyone would be furious, let alone the giant bear who was also the master of this dense forest? All that could be heard was an angry roar, as the giant bear abandoned its pursuit of the wind and turned to chase after Lu Qi, its arch-nemesis.

  "Don't make any sudden moves, Da Shun! Hand me the rifle!" Lu Qi shouted as he swiftly ran to one side with the agility of a deer. He had no intention of engaging in a shootout with the giant bear - that would be suicidal. After all, he was not the same person who had cultivated internal energy in his past life, and this giant bear was far more formidable than the 500-jin black bear he had encountered before!

  As soon as Lu Qi's words fell, someone had already slipped under the palm tree where Da Shun was. Da Shun, who was already moved by Lu Qi's courageous and selfless attitude, quickly threw the pitchfork in his hand to the front of Lu Qi.

  An inch longer, an inch stronger. Although the forked spear is not as sharp as the beheading knife, at certain times its effect can be much better than the beheading knife. After all, if Lu Qi were to turn around and use his knife to chop the giant bear now, he could wound it, but with the giant bear's speed and strength, Lu Qi would have a more than 70% chance of being killed.

  "Good!" Da Shun is indeed a divine archer, and his throwing skills are also just right. Lu Qi couldn't help but exclaim "good" as he lightly picked up the forked spear in his hand.

  It is often said that one doesn't fear an opponent as strong as a god, but rather a teammate as useless as a pig. Having a powerful teammate can often bring about the right opportunity for someone at critical moments!
