Chapter 250 Two Bears

It's unclear what kind of prey is ahead, but a black bear is the most likely candidate.

Sheng Xiping was worried that the dog would get hurt, so he didn't dare to delay and immediately followed.

But at this time of year, most of the snow on the sunny slopes has melted, and the ground in the forest thaws during the day and freezes again at night.

Sheng Xiping and his group didn't leave too late today, but the journey was long, and the ground had already begun to melt slightly.

The top layer is mud and water, and the bottom is a hard shell. If you step on it, you'll slip and slide, and you can't run fast at all.

The others were the same; none of them could run fast, so they had to be extra careful and jog forward to catch up.

When they arrived at a large poplar tree halfway up the mountain, Wang Jianshe called out, "Xiping, this is the tree."

Sheng Xiping stopped and looked at the big poplar tree for a few moments.

This tree is indeed quite thick; the trunk is estimated to be over a meter in diameter, and there is a large hole in the tree about three or four meters above the ground.

At this time, the temperature rose, the tree hole was exposed to the sun again, and the white frost around the entrance of the hole had melted, so nothing could be seen.

There were many claw marks on the tree trunk, clearly indicating that this was indeed a Tiancangzi (a type of wild tree).

"Xiping, should we go up and take a look?" Wang Jianshe and the others followed, panting heavily as they asked.

Before Sheng Xiping could speak, he suddenly heard a dog barking in the distance, and he quickly waved his hand.

"No need to look anymore, it's probably that black bear that has left the warehouse."

The barking wasn't coming from down the hillside, but rather from halfway up the western hillside. Sheng Xiping guessed that the dogs must have spotted the bear.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianshe and the others were taken aback and felt a chill run down their spines.

Thank goodness they brought their dog today.

If we rashly go up the mountain without a dog, and they happen to be busy killing the granary here, and the bear suddenly appears out of nowhere, then things could get really dangerous.

"Let's go, let's go take a look."

The barking of dogs over there was continuous. Sheng Xiping felt something was wrong, and without thinking, he rushed to the western hillside.

Fortunately, the place where the dog was barking wasn't too far away, only three or four miles away. Before long, Sheng Xiping arrived.

What Sheng Xiping saw before him took him by surprise.

Nine dogs surrounded two black bears, one large and one small.

Needless to say, this is a mother bear with her cubs.

Generally, mother bears give birth to their cubs while they are in their dens during the winter. The cubs are very small, weighing only about one pound when they are born.

Mother bears store up energy like crazy in the fall so they can nurse their cubs with their milk in the winter without eating.

Mother bears have cubs, some for two years and some for three.

Generally speaking, bear cubs are considered adults after three years of growth, at which point the mother bear will chase the cubs away and then become pregnant again.

These two bear cubs are probably two years old. After spending the winter in the barn, they look to weigh over 100 pounds.

Don't let its small size fool you; it's quite dangerous. Even a dog the size of Daqing wouldn't stand a chance against a little bear.

The little bear stood up and scratched a bloody mark on the big green bear's back with its sharp paws.

Big Green let out a howl and quickly dodged. At this moment, Fatty Tiger took the opportunity to pounce on the little black bear and bite it, but was slapped away by the little black bear.

Fat Tiger let out a miserable howl and fell to the ground in the mud.

Seeing this, the leopard circled behind the bear cub and, taking advantage of the cub's inattention, bit the cub's hindquarters.

That bite was quite hard; the bear cub cried out in pain, raised its paw, and turned around to give the leopard a stab.

The leopard was clever; it took a bite and immediately retreated. The bear cub's paw grazed the leopard's fur, failing to injure it.

Daqing led Panghu, Huabao, and Xiaohua to surround the little bear. At this moment, the little bear stood upright. Daqing and Panghu were injured and retreated, and Huabao was also forced back by the little bear.

Only Little Flower was left. Seizing the opportunity, she went up and bit the bear's butt.

All four puppies were offspring of Erlang Shen, and the skill of grabbing the crotch was passed down to Xiao Hua and Hua Bao.

The bear's bottom was repeatedly ripped open, making it howl in pain. With a swipe of its paw, it swatted the little flower away.

At that moment, Sheng Xiping had already found the right position and fired directly at the bear.

That shot was very accurate, hitting right in the chest.

Blood went in through the small eye and out through the big eye, leaving a spray of blood. The little bear groaned, leaned back, and fell to the ground.

As soon as the gunshot rang out, Xiao Xiong was killed by Sheng Xiping.

The mother bear, surrounded by Erlang Shen, Black General, and Erqing, suddenly let out an angry howl and pounced on Sheng Xiping like a madman.

Good hunting dogs always protect their master. When Erlang Shen and the others saw the mother bear rushing towards Sheng Xiping, they also became anxious.

They were just playing around with the black bear, trying to trap it or force it up a tree, waiting for their owner to arrive so they could shoot and kill it.

However, when their owner was in danger, the dogs rushed forward without hesitation, frantically tearing at the mother bear.

Driven by a fierce protective instinct, the mother bear unleashed all her power, acting recklessly as if possessed.

But it had just come out of the barn, and after a winter of exhaustion, its physical strength couldn't keep up, and its paws had become thin and tender.

This is a sunny slope, and in many places the snow has melted and exposed the ground, revealing stones, dead branches, tree fences, and the like. Stepping on them is painful, which affects the mother bear's fighting ability.

Erlang Shen and his companions have been hunting in the mountains quite often lately, and they cooperate with each other very well.

In addition, they had rested for a while and eaten, so they were quite energetic.

Taking advantage of the mother bear's inattention, Erlang Shen ripped open her crotch. Erqing and General Hei also seized the opportunity to bite and tear at her, managing to hold back the mother bear's momentum as it charged towards Sheng Xiping.
