With his head lowered and his head lowered, Art ran towards the camp in a hurry. When he turned a corner, he suddenly bumped into a guy who was rushing toward him rashly. Because the impact was too strong, both of them almost fell to the ground.
"Ron! Why are you here, kid?" Art touched the sweat on his forehead, his heart still pounding.
Ron kneaded his right elbow, which was a little painful after being hit by Art. He raised his head and said, "Master, I got up and went to the camp to look for you, but I didn't see anyone. I was planning to go to the river to find you, but I didn't expect to bump into you here. You were in such a hurry. What happened?"
Go back to the thrilling scene a moment ago.
Hunter was fetching water from the river. When he turned around and was about to leave, out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a black figure standing next to the dark gray boulder on the other side of the river.
Matt came back to his senses and took a closer look. The scene in front of him made him unable to believe his eyes - a tall black bear with a fat head, big ears, and a wide waist and body was standing next to the boulder, with saliva in its mouth, roaring from time to time, and staring straight at the other side of the river with its deep eyes.
After sizing up the bipedal monster in front of him, the black bear was obviously at a loss. Because there is definitely no bipedal monster like this in its food list.
Hunter, who was separated from the black bear by a river, felt his heart tightening and took a deep breath. My forehead began to sweat constantly, my limbs began to become a little stiff, and my heartbeat suddenly accelerated...
After the two sides faced off for a while, the black bear began to become a little anxious. He kept poking at the soil on the ground with his feet and waving his front paws. Obviously, it was a little dissatisfied with the guy in front of it, and started to demonstrate to test the opponent's true and false and show its own strength.
The scene in front of him reminded Art of the situation when he encountered a female bear with two cubs by the river when he went exploring to the south of the valley. At that time, several people unexpectedly encountered a black bear mother and her son who were foraging for food by the river. After a confrontation, Art made the worst plan - working together to kill the female bear. In the end, the mother bear fled the scene with her cubs after a mules and horses were frightened and ran away.
Unexpectedly, such a thing would happen to Art again. However, this time, no one else was around except myself. This made him feel a little panicked.
At, who had been in the valley for many years and was a hunter before, knew how to deal with this unfavorable situation. Although the two sides were only separated by a river, only about forty steps in length, no one acted rashly. During the confrontation, Art glanced at the blood stains on the rocks under his feet, and then he understood why he met the big guy in front of him here - this black bear must have come here looking for the smell of blood.
I heard an old hunter say before that this beast is not only huge in size and ferocious in nature, but also has an extremely sensitive sense of smell. They can detect the smell of blood even from five miles away. Therefore, after those experienced hunters capture prey, they often throw the unwanted internal organs far away or find a place to bury them, so as not to attract these dangerous guys to their territory.
Att moved his feet gently, with extremely subtle movements. Looking around, it was deserted and only the sounds of insects and birds could be heard. The river flowed loudly, and the breeze came one after another.
"My dagger!" Art thought silently in his mind, and then slowly stretched his left hand to his waist and groped back and forth, trying to hold the dagger in his hand in case of emergency.
After groping for a long time, Art suddenly remembered that when he first arrived at the river, a dagger was still on the grass not far away. Then, with the corner of his eye, he glanced to the side and behind, and saw the dagger about twenty steps away from the river bank. Art moved his feet slightly to prevent them from becoming numb. This movement was noticed by the huge creature on the other side of the river.
Then, a series of roars came, and the black bear began to open its teeth and claws, preparing to charge at the bipedal monster in front of it. In its eyes, any action of the other party is a provocation. This is absolutely not allowed for the black bear who has a transcendent status in the nameless valley.
Watching the black bear's temper become even more irritable, Art's palms began to sweat constantly, and the inner lining of his body was already wet with sweat.
Just when Art turned his head and was about to run to the grass, the mad beast on the other side of the river suddenly roared loudly and slapped its strong chest. In the blink of an eye, he had rushed to the shore and pounced towards where Art was, the river water splashing...
At glanced back, he never expected that this guy would take the initiative to attack.
Immediately, Art twisted his body and ran to the grass in a few long steps to pick up his dagger. When I looked back, I saw that the black bear was almost close to the shore.
"Oh my God!"
At shouted, looking at the charging black bear, he was startled.
With this roar, the black bear not only did not stop, but accelerated and rushed towards the place where Art was.
Immediately afterwards, Art held a dagger in one hand and a water bag in the other. In the blink of an eye, he had already entered the path in the bush~
………
< br/> "...What? Black bear!"
Hearning that the black bear behind was pursuing Art, Ron, although equally frightened, took the initiative to get out of the way so that his master could walk in front.
"Master, you go first, I will stop you later!"
WHah~
Ron immediately pulled out the dagger from his waist and followed Art and ran towards the camp.
As soon as the two of them ran forward, a low roar came from the bushes behind them. Ron looked back and saw that the bushes and weeds not far away fell down, and the figure of the black bear gradually appeared in front of him... "God, what kind of guy is this? How could there be such a big black bear!" Ron kept mumbling as he ran.
Not long after, the two finally ran out of the path and came to an open space.
Matt looked into the bushes for a while, but saw no shadow of the black bear, and then he sat on the ground and took a breath.
“Master, tell me, why is there such a monster in the valley? It’s quite scary.” Ron was breathing heavily, with lingering fears.
"Ask me, who will I ask?" Art wiped the sweat from his forehead, pulled out the stopper, drank two gulps of water, and then handed the water bag to Ron.
After resting for a while, the two picked up their daggers and rushed to the camp.
Smelling the fragrant food, Art's stomach began to growl, and he immediately stepped forward, intending to fill his stomach with a bowl.
But the experience he just experienced made him stop.
“Ron, you immediately send someone to patrol around the camp. I don’t want to be disturbed by that big guy while I’m eating~”
“Yes, sir. I’ll do it right away.”
After confirming that the surrounding area was safe, Art ate his breakfast with peace of mind.
After breakfast, Art called everyone together to plan the next task.
