Chapter 169 Brown Bear Beast

"right!"

"But Premier Wen said there are wolves and bears in these mountains... What if we get separated from our group..."

"Don't believe her scaremongering! So many troops are training here every day, even if there were a lot of wild animals in the mountains, they would have all run away long ago! How could they possibly jump out and bite people?"

"That makes sense. But what if we get lost?"

"Why do you have so many questions?" Li Shu waved her hand impatiently. "I saw the filming crew's car following far behind. We can go back with their car!"

"The filming crew is here too? Okay!" Xiwen finally felt a little relieved.

After discussing it, the two of them gradually switched from running to walking, slowly distancing themselves from the other four.

As the SUV drove further and further away, the headlights illuminating the road ahead gradually disappeared.

The surrounding mountain paths had become pitch black, and we could only move forward with difficulty by the light of the bright moon.

"Master Wen, those two girls have fallen behind." Liu Shu had been keeping an eye on everyone, so he noticed immediately that Li Shu and the other girl had disappeared.

"I saw it."

Wen Ni drove a little further and found a flat and open place before stopping the car. "Take them here to rest and keep an eye on the surroundings. I'll go look for them on the way here."

"Alright! Mr. Wen, you should be careful!"

"Wait! Where are you going? It's so dark, and it's so dangerous in the mountains." Lu Jinye was still panting heavily, his steps were a little unsteady, but he still managed to catch up a few steps and reached out to block Wen Ni's way.

Cai Wenyou was a step behind, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes as he said, "Chief Instructor Wen, the mountains are not safe after all. I'll go back with you to find them together!"

“I could find my way around this mountain with my eyes closed, so don’t worry.” Wen Ni simply patted Lu Jinye’s shoulder. “Sit down and rest!”

"You...cough cough." Lu Jinye had only uttered one word when he turned his face away and coughed heavily a few more times.

The mountain air was cool at night, and his old injuries were acting up. It seemed that the day's training had taken its toll on him.

Wen Ni glanced to the side and saw the cameraman holding up his camera and filming the other four people who were exhausted and sitting on the roadside. The camera hadn't turned around yet.

She deftly took off her windproof jacket and tossed it onto Lu Jinye's shoulder!

"These clothes are hindering my movement, so please keep them safe for me!"

After saying that, she turned around and strode towards the darkness!

Behind him, Lu Jinye gripped the coat tightly, his fingers, which were icy cold from the chill, felt warm and burning from the lingering warmth that belonged only to her.

Cai Wenyou stood by and witnessed all of this, his heart filled with mixed feelings!

A chilling mountain wind blew by.

The people standing there couldn't help but shiver.

Meanwhile, Li Shu and Xi Wen, who were still wandering on their way here, were also shivering from the sudden drop in temperature in the mountains!

Above, towering, intertwined tree branches densely clustered around the high-hanging, cold moon. Bitter gusts of wind blew, mixed with the rustling of grass and trees, and some strange noises of inexplicable origin.

"Ah! Something darted past!"

"Where! There's nothing there! You must be seeing things! Xiwen! Don't be so jumpy! You scared me to death."

"Sister Li Shu, please call the film crew and ask them to come and pick us up!"

“My phone’s been handed in, what am I supposed to do? How about we turn around and go back to see if the filming crew’s car is still behind us, and then we can hitch a ride back!” Li Shu was still being defiant.

The only thing that betrayed her fear was the way she tightly hugged her own arms.

"That's okay too!"

Xiwen took Li Shu's hand, and the two were about to muster their courage and turn back along the road when they suddenly heard a creaking sound from the bushes next to them, as well as the rustling sound of branches being scraped!

They craned their necks to look into the deep darkness...

"Aww...!"

A sudden roar erupted, and a gigantic figure, as tall as a person, burst forth from the bushes!

In the darkness, it blends into the night, its silvery teeth gleaming with a bloodthirsty and terrifying light.

"Ahhh!"

Li Shu and Xi Wen turned pale instantly. They were so frightened that they fell to the ground and scrambled backward!

That tall, muscular figure continued to approach them, each stomp of his massive feet seemingly causing the earth to tremble!

"Sister Li Shu! Ah!"

Xiwen's legs gave way and she fell again. She reached out to Li Shu, who had run ahead, trying to ask for help.

But Li Shu was too busy taking care of herself to care about her.

The approach of the giant beast caused Xiwen to break down in tears!

Her fear and crying only made the giant beast more agitated. It growled softly and lowered its head to sniff Xiwen's calves.

Its foul-smelling saliva dripped down its fangs, drop by drop...

Xiwen was so scared that her eyes almost rolled back.

Just when danger and terror were at their limit!

The headlights of a van suddenly illuminated the location where Xiwen and the giant beast were.

In a daze, Xiwen shakily raised her head and bumped right into a big brown bear's head!

"Ah! Bear! Bear! Bear ahhhhhh!"

"Hey, shut your mouth and stop yelling."

A cold and extremely calm voice, like a lifeline reaching into the abyss to save Xiwen!

This quickly calmed Xiwen down.

She stood stiffly, her gaze passing over the motionless brown bear in front of her, and looking at the girl in military uniform who, bathed in the halo of the car lights, strode in like a peerless hero!

"Master Wen! Master Wen! Waaaaah... Help!"

Xiwen's tears fell down her cheeks instantly.

It was a mess, and I looked terrible.

Li Shu, who was only a few dozen meters away from Xi Wen, also turned around, found a thick tree trunk to hide under, and looked in Wen Ni's direction with suspicion!

"Now you know fear? Weren't you all very brave? Daring to break away from the group and act alone in the wilderness?"

"Waaaaah, I was wrong, Mr. Wen, I was really wrong!" Xiwen cried, sobbing uncontrollably.

She cried, still puzzled. It seemed that ever since the car lights came on and Wen Ni appeared, the brown bear had stood still, not moving an inch!

"I said, turn off your high beams."

Wen Ni completely ignored the brown bear's presence, and even leisurely pointed to the headlights of the van carrying the filming crew.

"Turn off the high beams?" The crew member was puzzled, but didn't dare to delay. They quickly switched to the softer low beams, then nervously reminded, "Chief Wen! Don't go over there! There's a man-eating brown bear in front of Xiwen!"

"Yes, I know."

Wen Ni responded lightly, but didn't stop walking, heading straight to the big brown bear!

The hearts of everyone present were pounding in their chests.

Wen Ni, however, acted as if nothing had happened, and openly extended her palm...

I touched... the brown bear's enormous head!

"!!"

Everyone stared wide-eyed in horror, then their bright eyes... froze.

Seeing that the huge brown bear not only did not resist Wen Ni's touch, but also obediently sat down on the spot, enjoying it very much!

It rubbed its big head against Wen Ni's shoulder with such force that it almost knocked her over.
