The two quickly stood up and faced the bear. Ling Moyuan held her tightly behind him and whispered, "Two rabbits are definitely not enough to fill the belly of this vicious bear. It will probably want to eat us in the end. So, we must kill it."

Mo Jing nodded, took out the dagger from her body and gripped it tightly. Her expression immediately became serious as she prepared to fight the bear with him. However, Ling Moyuan pulled her arm back and said, "Stand here and wait for me. I'll go."

His words were entirely in the form of a command, carrying his characteristic domineering air, yet at this moment they made her feel incredibly at ease. Mo Jing nodded, not arguing; she knew that her limited skills would only hinder him if she rushed forward.

Ling Moyuan stopped wasting words and casually tossed the two roasted rabbits over. The bear clumsily tried to pick them up, but just then, he used a tree branch as leverage to swing onto the bear's head. With agility like a nimble monkey, he rode on the bear's back, tightened his grip on the bear's neck with one hand, and forcefully stabbed the knife in his hand into the bear's head.

The knife pierced through, and blood splattered out, carrying a pungent, fishy smell; some of it even splashed onto Ling Moyuan's clothes.

Normally, Ling Moyuan would be in the mood to play with the bear, and with his skills, he wouldn't let the blood get on him, but not today.

Ling Moyuan's attack enraged the vicious bear, which shook its body and threw Ling Moyuan off, then swung its thick paws at him.

Ling Moyuan dodged the bear's attack with a light dodge, then ran behind it again. Seizing the opportunity, he stabbed it fiercely. Although the stab was not fatal, the immense pain enraged the bear, making it even more frenzied.

The berserk creature was only focused on flattening Ling Moyuan, so Ling Moyuan took the initiative, leading it in circles and taking it away from where it could attack Mo Jing. How could Mo Jing not see through his intentions? A strange feeling swept through Mo Jing's heart as she looked at his intentions.

To avoid distracting him, Mo Jing quickly climbed the tree and observed the situation below, her heart pounding with tension.

Ling Moyuan watched as the bear was led away from the safe zone. His beautiful yet dangerous eyes narrowed. He decided to deal with the situation quickly, as the strong smell of blood could easily attract other dangerous creatures.

With a few leaps, he landed on a tree, gripping a branch with one hand and holding a sharp knife in the other, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the black bear from above.

Just then, an accident occurred. The branch Ling Moyuan was holding suddenly snapped, and he fell to the ground. Although he nimbly somersaulted several times to dodge the bear's deadly attack, he was still scratched on the arm by the bear's claws, and blood immediately flowed out...

Ignoring the pain in his arm, he nimbly stabbed the bear in the back of the head again, this time with all his might. The hilt of the knife even sank into the bear's head. The bear howled in agony a few times before slowly collapsing. The two of them had finally survived one ordeal.

Mo Jing jumped down from the tree and saw Ling Moyuan's wound. Her eyes darkened. If it weren't for his concern for her, he wouldn't have been injured at all, given his skills. A strong smell of blood filled the air, whether from the black bear or Ling Moyuan, it was unclear.
