Chapter 149 Compassion

The black bear came here smelling the scent of honey. When it arrived here, the air was full of the sweet smell of honey, which made the black bear salivate.

The black bear's eyesight is not good, but it is not completely blind. When it reaches here, it roars at the black tiger elf and Gao Mingcheng, showing its strength.

Black bears walk upright and look very tall and strong. They have thick skin and great strength. They can break a tree with one slap.

If an ordinary person encounters a black bear, he must hide quickly. If he really can't, he must pretend to be dead and not move. Black bears have poor eyesight, and if you don't move, it will be difficult for you to be discovered and attacked by it.

But Gao Mingcheng is no longer an ordinary person. Ever since he first encountered a black bear in the mountains, he has had a sense of crisis. He uses gold foil to meditate every day, and after waking up, he goes to the mountains to practice boxing.

In addition to practicing boxing, he would also deliberately lift boulders to build strength, practice javelin throwing, and practice dagger stabbing.

Living at the foot of the mountain, the world is vast and everything is convenient. If you live in the city, if your home is small, then everything will be inconvenient.

The black bear was already in front of them. After a roar, the elf couldn't hold on any longer. It screamed in fear and hid beside Gao Mingcheng. The black tiger didn't move, but its momentum was not as strong as before. It was obviously suppressed by the black bear.

The black tiger did not dodge, not because it was not afraid, but because of its loyalty. It would not leave until its master left.

Gao Mingcheng looked at Hei Hu with approval, and then ordered: "Hei Hu, retreat!"

When hunting wild boars, black tigers can play a role. They can find wild boars and knock and disperse the herds of wild boars, but facing black bears, black tigers are not very effective.

This black bear is his opponent!

Hei Hu retreated obediently, but did not go far. He stood beside Gao Mingcheng.

As soon as the black tiger moved aside, Gao Mingcheng rushed towards the black bear with a dagger in his hand.

He was extremely fast and his boxing was powerful, but facing the black bear, he still cautiously decided to use a dagger. The dagger in his hand was extremely sharp, and although he used it frequently, he also maintained it regularly.

Black bears are omnivorous animals that eat young leaves, fruits and seeds of plants, as well as honey, bird eggs, insects and small mammals.

So don’t be fooled by its tall and ferocious appearance, its diet is actually quite ordinary.

After being provoked, the black bear also became furious and swung its claws at Gao Mingcheng. It was very strong and its claws were sharp. If it hit Gao Mingcheng, his skin and flesh would be damaged.

The black bear was strong, but Gao Mingcheng was more agile. When the black bear's claws were about to hit him, he quickly dodged it, while the dagger in his hand had already accurately stabbed into the black bear's body.

When he stabbed it in, he clearly felt resistance, which was because the black bear's fur blocked the dagger.

Fortunately, the dagger was sharp and still cut a wound on the black bear's body, but it was not that deep.

After just one round, the black bear was injured.

The injured black bear became even more furious, and continued to attack Gao Mingcheng while roaring. Its speed was too fast, and its claws kept hitting Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng didn't find a suitable opportunity to attack, so he had to fight while running. He didn't run towards where the beehive was, but ran towards another place.

Before leaving, he did not forget to order Black Tiger: "Black Tiger, guard the beehive!"

He had worked so hard to get the honey, and he didn't want anything bad to happen after he left.

The black tiger originally chased after him, but after running for more than ten meters, it turned back and waited obediently beside the honey extractor, but its eyes were always looking in the direction where Gao Mingcheng ran away.

Since Gao Mingcheng didn't find a suitable opportunity to attack, he decided to take the black bear for a walk first.

Although the black bear has good physical strength, his physical strength is not bad either, and he had stabbed the black bear before. As long as the black bear keeps running, the wound will continue to split and bleed.

The biggest difference between beasts and humans is that humans are good at using tools and are more intelligent and rational. Although some beasts appear to be very smart, they are still not as good as humans.

Therefore, many wild beasts that once dominated the mountains and forests eventually became protected animals.

This is the case with black bears. You know, steamed bear paws are a delicacy, and bear skin coats are also popular, not to mention that bear bile can be used as medicine. For thousands of years, people have hunted black bears to extract their bile for use as medicine.

Gao Mingcheng was being chased by a black bear at this time, but he was not afraid in his heart. He even deliberately led the black bear into a thorn bush. Even though the black bear had thick skin and flesh, it still grimaced in pain when it was pricked by the thorns.

The roaring sounded, shaking the mountains and forests. Upon hearing the news, all the wild animals in the surrounding area fled to the scene to avoid getting into trouble.

Gao Mingcheng walked the black bear leisurely, and the more he walked, the more relaxed he felt.

At first he was worried that he was no match for the black bear, but now it seems that he has good physical fitness, can run fast, and is agile, so he can avoid the black bear's pounce. In addition, he has practiced martial arts and has a sharp blade in his hand. If he just runs away, the black bear will not be able to do anything to him.

Even if you try to kill the black bear, the success rate is very high.

Hey, looks like I can eat bear paws today? Gao Mingcheng thought, but he wasn't too tempted. He had never eaten bear paws in his previous life, but his business friends had eaten poached bear paws and said they didn't taste as good as they were hyped, and were quite fishy and greasy.

Eating bear paws is just a gimmick.

Just as Gao Mingcheng was hesitating whether to kill the black bear, he suddenly heard the sound of a black bear cub. Following the sound, he saw a black bear cub standing at the entrance of a cave halfway up the mountain, calling towards him.

The angry black bear wanted to teach the human who hurt it a lesson, but he couldn't catch up with him, and unknowingly, he ran to the vicinity of his own cave!

Hearing the cub's voice, the angry black bear regained its senses. It stopped and no longer chased Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng also stopped and saw the black bear running towards the cave, then he stayed beside the cub and protected it.

Seeing this scene, Gao Mingcheng's idea of ​​eating bear paws suddenly disappeared completely.

Forget it, let’s keep the bear paw!

"Hey! Don't steal my honey again, or I will eat you!" Gao Mingcheng didn't care whether the other party could understand or not. He just wanted to give a warning and he had made up his mind that if the black bear came to steal his honey again, he would kill it without mercy!

Who cares if it’s a mother bear with cubs!

The black bear responded with a low growl, but Gao Mingcheng said he didn't understand what it meant. He saw that the black bear and its cubs had already hidden in the cave.

Gao Mingcheng was not too disappointed that the black bear was not killed. The main reason was that the cub was too small, which made him feel pity.

Black bears usually become pregnant in the winter, give birth to cubs around February, and then raise them until adulthood.

But the most interesting thing is that the estrus period of black bears is June and July. After fertilization, they will not become pregnant immediately. Instead, the mother bear has to wait until she has eaten and drunk enough and accumulated enough energy for hibernation. Only then will the fertilized egg begin to develop and then give birth to the baby in February, when spring is about to begin.

It is now mid-April, and the little bear is just over two months old. It still looks very small. If it loses the protection of its mother bear, it will most likely not survive in this mountain.

Forget it, God is merciful, the earth is generous and can bear all things, and gentlemen are willing to help others achieve their goals. So let him be a gentleman today!
