I held my breath and focused intently on identifying the direction from which the sound had come.

But apart from me, the people around me didn't seem to hear anything.

But Wang Ping and Chen Jian already trusted me to the core. Seeing that I immediately became nervous, they quickly cocked their guns and surrounded me one by one.

The foreigners, armed with machetes and axes, immediately crowded around, looking quite nervous.

The surroundings fell silent.

The rustling sound in my ears grew closer and closer, and about ten minutes later, I saw a dark figure emerge from the depths of the bushes.

Because we had already kept quiet, the black shadow did not discover our presence.

Soon, the shadow was completely exposed to our view.

Upon seeing it, we couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, because it was indeed a large brown bear!

The brown bear had glossy fur and was clumsily making its way out of the woods, seemingly out in search of food.

Standing next to me, Wang Ping couldn't contain his excitement and grabbed my hand, whispering joyfully in my ear, "Sihai, if we catch this thing, we'll have something to eat!"

I nodded, of course, sharing the same thought. After all, we had been living cautiously for the past few months since leaving that camp and going to the Brunois tribe.

Although the food of the Bunois tribe is not bad, the dry roasted meat is really greasy.

If we can successfully hunt down this brown bear and bring it back to our current camp, then we'll have a real feast tonight.

We only brought guns with us this time; we didn't have any other tools because the camp we arrived at didn't have any tough and sturdy vines.

In addition, this forest had previously suffered a severe wildfire, which caused great damage to all the trees and grasslands. Therefore, we did not have any tools to make nets at the moment.

But no matter what, we must hunt this bear back this time.

Whether for our sake or for the sake of those women and children...

I whispered to Wang Ping and Chen Jian, "You two take the rest of the men aside. If that brown bear comes and I can't handle it alone, then you take your guns and attack its legs, but remember not to shoot its body, or you'll damage its skin."

Wang Ping and Chen Jian nodded, naturally understanding the significance of this brown bear to all of us at this moment.

They immediately hid on the other side one by one as I had planned, and then I quickly walked towards one of the thicker trees.

The tree was the closest to the brown bear at that moment, so I didn't dare make a sound and carefully moved over step by step.

The brown bear hadn't noticed us yet and was continuing to walk forward.

I immediately picked up a rock from the ground and threw it at him. The brown bear stopped instantly upon hearing the noise, and then he turned his head warily in my direction.

I immediately picked up the gun in my hand, pulled the trigger, and shot him directly at the head.

But to my surprise, the brown bear reacted much faster than I had imagined. The shot missed, but instead enraged it. The bear froze for a moment, then howled and pounced on me.

Because we were so close together, and there was nothing else around me except this tree.

If I retreat towards Wang Ping and the others at this moment, it is very likely that I will implicate them.

I gritted my teeth, immediately raised the gun in my hand again, and fired another shot at the brown bear's head.

I quickly climbed up the tree trunk, but just then, the brown bear was right in front of me. It almost howled as it slammed its huge paws onto the tree trunk.

As a result, I failed to hold onto the tree branch and fell directly to the ground. Just as I fell, two more gunshots rang out behind me.

I knew that Wang Ping and Chen Jian must have seen my situation and were preparing to provide support.

But in the current situation, such gunshots are clearly meaningless.

It will also enrage the brown bear, making it even more ferocious.

At the same time, I immediately took the opportunity to turn around and retreat.

The giant brown bear's huge paw slammed down on the spot where I had just been standing, and the tree trunk creaked, clearly breaking.

"Brother Sihai, be careful, quickly step back!"

I immediately stood up, grabbed my gun, and aimed at the brown bear once more.

The brown bear was startled and went berserk, howling and scratching desperately. Fortunately, Wang Ping and Chen Jian were not very close to the bear, so they were probably not in any danger.

Meanwhile, the foreigners had already picked up stones from the ground and were quickly throwing them at the brown bear.

I immediately lay down on the ground, found the best vantage point, and swung at the brown bear's head again.

I fired that shot steadily, hitting the brown bear squarely in the eye, and immediately a strong smell of blood filled the air.

After the brown bear lost sight in one eye, his vision blurred instantly, and his entire massive body began to sway.

At that moment, Wang Ping and Chen Jian each shot the brown bear in the leg, and the bear, after eating his body, suddenly pounced forward.

At this moment, the foreigners also got clever. One of the foreign men picked up a thick tree branch from the ground, and the two of them, holding one end each, pressed it directly onto the brown bear's head.

Although the brown bear was huge, it couldn't withstand our overwhelming numbers. Its head was firmly pressed to the ground, and then Wang Ping and Chen Jianli immediately rushed forward and fired another shot into its head.

The brown bear's body trembled violently for a moment and then remained still, which relieved everyone.

Although it acted dangerously just now, we finally managed to subdue the brown bear.

All that's left to do is bring it back to camp intact, wash it, and once it's cleaned, you can have a good meal.

I breathed a sigh of relief and got up from the ground. Wang Ping rushed to my side and looked me up and down.

"Sihai, how are you? Are you hurt?"

I sat up, intending to tell him I was fine, but as soon as I got up, I realized my stomach was a little sore. I immediately looked down and saw a cut more than ten centimeters long on the part of my stomach that wasn't covered by the rabbit fur.

At this point, the skin and flesh were turned inside out, and fresh blood was flowing freely.

When Chen Jian saw how badly I was injured, he immediately rushed over to me: "Brother Sihai, what happened to you?"

"Hiss, I don't know either. Maybe it got scratched when I fell from the tree."

At that moment, a foreigner looked at me, took two more steps toward the tree root, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"It's a stone."

After saying that, he picked up a sharp stone from the ground and took it over.

When we looked, there were indeed bloodstains on the stone. I felt a wave of despair. I had never expected there to be so many pebbles on the ground.

However, this long wound is indeed a bit tricky, since we don't even have any herbs right now. If it gets infected, it will probably cause a lot of trouble.
