Chen Jian and I remained vigilant while trying our best to avoid a direct confrontation with the bear.

But everyone knows that this bear will not let us go so easily, even if its real target is the fish behind us.

Chen Jian was very nervous; I could see that his body was trembling.

To be honest, I was also very scared, but at this time, someone always has to take the lead and make a decision: run or fight?

However, at present, running is definitely the best option.

What I'm afraid of is that we won't be able to escape at all.

Just as I was thinking, the bear was already in front of me, about to pounce. I steeled myself, raised my gun, and fired a shot at the bear's head.

Fortunately, my marksmanship did not disappoint me, but because the bear was too fast, the shot still missed. However, I quickly saw by the moonlight that the bear's head was bleeding and it was injured.

And at this moment, the bear, in pain, began to roar and even swung its huge paws, smashing them towards me and Chen Jian.

Chen Jian's reaction speed has become very fast now. He turned and ran away almost immediately, still holding the fishing stick he had just used, and couldn't help but shout.

"Brother Sihai, run fast!"

I tried to run, but before I could turn around, I felt a cold wind on the back of my neck, which turned and attacked me with a sound. Before I could even dodge, something slammed me to the ground.

I felt as if my back had been cracked open; the pain was so intense that I couldn't even breathe, and I collapsed to the ground.

Just then, I heard Chen Jian shouting in my direction from a distance, "Brother Sihai, it's right behind you!"

Of course I knew the bear was coming, but I had no way to fight it. I only had a few bullets left in my gun, and I couldn't guarantee I could kill it with one shot.

So I'm afraid I'll have to stay here tonight, watching as that bear raised its paw and slapped at me again.

Chen Jian, who had already run quite far, suddenly let out a howl, picked up a large rock from the ground, and ran towards me and the bear.

I wanted Chen Jian to run away quickly and not worry about me; I couldn't act rashly at this time. However, I was in so much pain that I couldn't make a sound.

At that moment, Chen Jian ran over, grabbed the large rock in his hand, and threw it at the bear behind him.

Then Chen Jian swung the fishing rod he was holding at the bear's body.

The bear clearly didn't take Chen Jian and me seriously. Although Chen Jian's attacks were quite fierce, it was like tickling him.

With a swing of its large bear paw, it broke Chen Jian's wooden pole. Chen Jian, however, had no time to pay attention to it and bent down to help me up.

I was both touched and furious. This kid really has no sense of reason. If one of us were to die, I would have made him run out first!

But it's no use saying all this now. Chen Jian is coming back to save me, so we can only live and die together. I quickly endured the pain in my back, struggled to get up, grabbed the gun in my hand, and with Chen Jian's help, ran a few steps and fired another shot.

The bear had thick hide, and when the bullet hit it, I only heard it let out a short howl, but then it became even more enraged.

It charged at Chen Jian and me like a madman, with such force that it almost shook the earth. Behind us was this freshwater canal, which was still frozen over. But who could guarantee that the two of us could run across it and withstand the force?

If we can't withstand falling into the water in such cold weather, then we probably have no chance of survival.

"Run back and get help! I'll hold it off here!"

I nudged Chen Jian, but he immediately leaned closer to me again: "Brother Sihai, what are you saying? We're supposed to live and die together. If I run away by myself, how am I supposed to explain it to them when I get back?"

I knew Chen Jian was being stubborn again. He coughed twice, clutching his chest, and felt a metallic taste in his mouth. He didn't know if he had been seriously injured by the slap.

"It's fucking late, and you're still spouting nonsense here? If you don't go get reinforcements, are we both going to die here? Get the fuck out of here!"

I slapped Chen Jian hard, and he stumbled from the push. At that moment, the big bear roared and pounced on me again.

I yelled at Chen Jian again, and Chen Jian gritted his teeth, turned around, and quickly went into the woods. The bear was now completely enraged by Chen Jian and me.

It patted its chest, seemingly looking at the wound I had just inflicted, then bared its gleaming white teeth, shook its enormous head, and pounced on me.

I was in a lot of pain, but I couldn't just give up, so I turned around and ran towards the pile of stones on the other side.

But to my surprise, this bear was even faster. It leaped up in just a few steps and slapped me squarely on the chest.

Damn it, is this going to rip out my heart?

The wolf pelt I was wearing around my chest was suddenly pulled to the ground by the big bear. I didn't have time to pay attention and just bent down and dodged his attack by turning to the side.

But I lost my footing and almost fell. However, the big rock behind me helped me. I stepped on the stone wall to support my body, and then with a push of my feet and my hands, I quickly stepped onto the rock and fell behind it.

The bear was clearly not quick enough to react to my speed and was very angry. It raised its paw to try to move the rock, but the rock was already very heavy, and with the cold weather, it was covered with ice. Even if it was very strong, it was impossible to simply move the big rock.

Behind this rock is a row of trees. If this big bear wants to come and kill me again, I'll be forced to climb the tree now.

Hopefully, Chen Jian is quick enough to call for help before this bear kills me. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll really become this bear's meal tonight!
