Chapter 82 of "The Battle of the Bear and the Wolf" (1003 Urban New Farmers) will be updated later.

"Is it Lao Qing's voice?" Li Ningmi's eyes flickered. She said, "Mum..."

"Very likely!" As Lao Qing's owner, Zhang Guodong naturally recognized Lao Qing's howl. But he was worried about Da Hei, Er Hei, and Si Xiao Qing.

The six cubs had absolutely no experience in dealing with danger. Could Lao Qing handle it all by himself? Adult bears are divided into male and female, which is one thing. But an adult male bear can weigh up to 150 kilograms, and Lao Qing is in a completely different league.

"A wolfhound facing a bear is likely to be in grave danger!" Du Wenqiang said. "Boss, I think we should keep going. A raging bear is very dangerous."

He intends to abandon the elderly and disregard the young.

They completely forgot what Lao Qing did when he faced that gun barrel. Even beasts act like this. How can humans bear it?

Zhang Guodong was somewhat annoyed upon hearing this.

"You guys go ahead, I'll go take a look!" Zhang Guodong said coldly.

If it were just Lao Qing alone, he might be able to escape, but Da Hei, Er Hei, and Si Xiao Qing are all there. Zhang Guodong can't just walk away.

Concerning his own safety, Li Ningguang didn't want to get involved in Zhang Guodong's recklessness. Business was business, but it wasn't worth risking his life. This showed his decisiveness and "ruthlessness." So he said, "Alright, Guodong, be careful. We'll wait for you up ahead."

Zhang Guodong glanced at their backs and resolutely strode back the way he came.

The wolf's howl was the loudest of the old man's howls, a continuous barrage that seemed to command, guiding Zhang Guodong precisely in that direction.

The tender howls were the four little green ones rising and falling, while the howls of the big black ones and the two black ones were different from the wolf howls; they were roars that seemed to have the aura of a beast king, shaking the forest.

They are still minors!

In the dense forest on Zhang Guodong's way there, a large bear, led by Lao Qing, along with Da Hei, Er Hei, and four cubs, was climbing high in the trees. Below, they stood guard, baring their long, menacing fangs and occasionally lunging at a slightly smaller adult bear on the ground.

Old Qing let out a howl, and Liu Xiao went berserk. After biting, it retreated, but when the bear on the ground chased after it, it was caught in Liu Xiao's attack range.

After several times, wounds appeared on the bear's fur on the ground, and its black fur was very messy.

A scattered attack prevents the enemy from concentrating their attention on a single target.

"Roar!" The smaller bear on the ground, somewhat intimidated by Old Qing's command and the attacks of the six smaller bears, immediately sent out a distress signal to the larger bear in the tree.

The big bear in the tree roared a few times in a fit of rage, then nimbly tried to climb down from the tree.

Old Qing let out another howl, and this time the six little ones attacked together in a group attack!

Coordinated attacks from different angles!

The Four Little Greens are incredibly agile. Their attacks are sharper than those of the Big Black and Two Blacks. However, the Big Black and Two Blacks excel in strength; their claws and teeth are significantly more powerful than the Four Little Greens'.

Boom!

Seeing its mate in imminent danger, the bear flew into a rage and leaped from a height of two meters, right where Big Black was. Its weight of over a hundred kilograms shook the ground three times.

Then the big bear raised its giant paw and slapped at the big black dog's head.

A bear's attack methods include: biting with its large fangs that can easily break bones; using its sharp paws. A single slap from a bear's paw can generate hundreds of units of force, and combined with the tearing power of its sharp claws, it can inflict significant damage on its opponent; and crushing its opponent with its own weight.

Big Black, weighing less than forty kilograms, couldn't possibly withstand that blow.

Just as Dahei was in danger, a figure in green rushed over – it was Lao Qing!

The six little ones could easily handle the smaller bear without much danger; it could be considered a good training exercise. But the big bear was something that the dangerous Old Qing had to deal with personally.

The big bear probably didn't expect that Old Green was no ordinary wolf king. Lightning pounced and bit, tearing a piece of flesh from the big bear, but what it tore off was a thick layer of fat without a drop of blood.

Big Black seizes the opportunity to escape!

At the same time, the giant bear was only knocked back slightly before regaining its balance and standing upright. It immediately slammed its furious giant paw at Old Qing.

But Lao Qi, the wolf king, is now a sentient blue wolf king, not a dull-witted beast that only knows how to attack. His bite failed to harm the big bear, and Lao Qi simply dodged.

"Crack!" The giant hand swept across and slammed heavily into a tree as thick as an arm, snapping it in two. This showed just how powerful the palm strike was!

When Zhang Guodong arrived, he saw Lao Qing and the big bear locked in a fierce battle, with Lao Qing occasionally closing in to attack. The big bear roared and chased after Lao Qing, but to no avail. Da Hei, Er Hei, and Si Xiao Qing surrounded the smaller bear, their attacks becoming increasingly coordinated.

It's even bloody!

A duel that involves bloodshed is more likely to provoke the bestial frenzy of a beast!

Upon seeing that Lao Qing and the others were gaining the upper hand, Zhang Guodong immediately stopped and stared intently. A man can't fight a giant bear by strength alone; otherwise, he'd easily get himself killed.

Zhang Guodong went into Taoyuan and picked up an iron bar from the pile of junk. Although it wasn't very useful, it gave him courage. He also found a can of spicy pepper spray, which was used to protect against perverts, but it could be used to deal with the bear.

With both items ready, Zhang Guodong felt emboldened and left Taoyuan, standing seven or eight meters away to watch the deadly battle between the two sides.

The battle left the trees and flowers in ruins. The birds and rabbits that once roamed the forest had long since flown away. For a time, only the howls of wolves and the roars of bears could be heard in the air.

Zhang Guodong, his eyes gleaming with desire, momentarily forgot to hide. The large bear, unable to subdue Lao Qing, spotted Zhang Guodong and roared furiously as it charged towards him. Zhang Guodong was immediately startled. "Lao Qing isn't a pushover! Why are you looking for me? This bear is pathetically stupid!" he thought. In its rage, it attacked anyone it saw.

Bears are incredibly fast runners, especially for humans; it's impossible for Zhang Guodong not to be surprised. But when the big bear caught up with him, Zhang Guodong, in a panic, ran towards the battlefield where Lao Qing was.

A human and a wolf are better than a single bear!

Boom!

The bear couldn't brake in time and crashed into a thick tree, but it was completely unharmed. The tree swayed with the impact, and then the bear turned around and roared as it continued to chase after Zhang Guodong.

At this moment, Zhang Guodong felt the advantage of his good physical fitness, as he was very agile and fast when jumping and running, without any hesitation.

At this moment, Lao Qing rushed towards Zhang Guodong's side to provide reinforcements. The man and the wolf then formed a pincer movement.

Right at this critical juncture.

"Howl! Roar!" A wolf and a bear clashed head-on.

Zhang Guodong didn't wait and swung the iron bar at the bear, but to his surprise, the iron bar seemed to have sunk in. There was a snap, and it was too late to pull it out.

"Give up!" Zhang Guodong threw down a meter-long iron bar and quickly retreated.

With his other hand, he sprayed out a mouth spray. A pungent, acrid odor wafted out. Zhang Guodong himself was choked and his eyes watered; he had made a slight mistake.

But the spray worked! The bear stopped chasing. Zhang Guodong's vision was blocked, his nasal passages were irritated, and he roared repeatedly. Now, Lao Qing didn't need to attack anymore. The bear actually tried to escape!

"No way?" It doesn't even care about its mate anymore? Zhang Guodong thought to himself.

The iron bar on his body fell to the ground with a thud; the white stuff stuck to it was fat! That iron bar was heavy and had a considerable force. The shock made Zhang Guodong's hand ache. He initially thought it had no effect, but he realized it was because the bear's skin and fat layer were too thick.

But such injuries are nothing to a big bear.

The big bear ran away, and the little bear panicked. It became the target of everyone's anger!

They also fled towards the big bear!

How could Dahei, Erhei, and Sixiaoqing possibly give up such a good opportunity?

Zhang Guodong quickly stopped him.

Bears may be a bit slow-witted, but they are a nationally protected animal and there aren't many left. It's such a pity that they're killed by wild boars and other animals! They are different from rabbits and pheasants.

So Zhang Xiandong released the male and female bears.

Zhang Guodong checked Lao Qing, Da Hei, Er Hei, and Si Xiao Qing and found no major injuries, only minor scratches from the bear's claws. Zhang Guodong quickly applied medicine powder to them.

The six children cannot grow without experiencing battles and injuries, but too many injuries will affect their combat power!

"Roar!" Big Black and Second Black licked Zhang Guodong's hand affectionately, and the four little green ones did the same. Only Old Green stood by like a parent watching over them.

Zhang Guodong said affectionately, "Good fight today, keep it up!"

To reward them for healing their small wounds faster, Zhang Guodong brought one large and six small fish into Peach Blossom Spring, gave each of them some water, and brought them a blackfish.

But once outside Taoyuan, Lao Qing grabbed Zhang Guodong's clothes and wouldn't let him leave.

Then he walked to the tree, howled in one direction towards the ground, and then turned back to look at Zhang Guodong.

Now Zhang Guodong was puzzled as to what Lao Qing was trying to do.

Zhang Guodong walked over and immediately heard a loud buzzing sound in his ears, like a bomber—it was wild bees! And there were a lot of wild bees!

Zhang Guodong's expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly retreated.

Wild bees are different from lone wild beasts. They attack in swarms, their numbers making them difficult to defend against.

And that is indeed the case.

A large number of wild bees were rising and falling in that patch of grass; no one could get close within a radius of seven or eight meters. That big, dark lump was a huge beehive!

At this point, Zhang Guodong began to understand.

Two adult bears, one male and one female, were stealing honey when they were caught by Lao Qing and his companions, leading to a fight. Their spoils were the honeycomb!

The enormous beehive was about three meters in diameter. It must have originally been attached to this tree, which is as thick as a person and over eight meters tall.

But it was ruined by a bear.

Zhang Guodong noticed the four little green birds glancing in that direction, seemingly wanting to go over but then hesitating and retracting their claws. Big Black and Two Black did the same. Zhang Guodong found it amusing; perhaps the six little ones had already learned their lesson.

Bar?

Long-haired animals are not afraid of wild bees, but their eyes, noses, and other areas are still vulnerable.

Compared to expert bears who steal honey, they are far less experienced in this area.

However, the honey from wild bees is a valuable resource, especially since over time one might find royal jelly, also known as bee royal jelly, in the hive. This article refers to honey of a higher grade than royal jelly, distinguished by the terms "king" and "emperor," even including the legendary true queen bee jelly! Royal jelly is comparable to, and even rarer than, wild ginseng from previous years. It is more precious. As for the legendary "royal jelly," it is merely a theoretical speculation and is priceless.

Zhang Guodong's eyes gleamed brightly! It was as if he had spotted countless banknotes!

Bi: I forgot to select "cloth" in this chapter, so I'm only uploading it now. Sorry for keeping everyone waiting!

The second update will be uploaded in a few minutes. Since it's almost Chinese New Year, I'll be doing a special two-chapter upload today.

I guess I forgot to mention "cloth" in the morning chapter, so I'm behind in monthly votes. Now, I'm asking for monthly votes. I said I wouldn't stop updating, so please use your spare monthly votes! Happy Year of the Tiger!
