Chapter 76 Killing the Big Black Bear Alone

"You won't live past forty."

Yan Lang said this in a mature manner with the face of an eight-year-old boy.

Yun Chen paused while bandaging his shoulder, surprised: "Forty? That's quite a long time."

Yan Lang didn't say anything, wondering if he was choked by her.

She bandaged her shoulder quickly and immediately began breaking branches.

There were no weapons at hand, but fortunately there was an iron birch tree opposite. This is a tree species that grows on the northern glaciers. If it is forged with good craftsmanship, it is sometimes harder than iron.

Although we are not in the northern glacier now, the trees are not really strong, but they are strong enough to be used as weapons.

She jumped onto the iron birch tree, selected a branch as thick as a dagger, focused her strength on the branch joint, used her body to leverage the force to fall down, and split the branch into two-foot lengths.

She took one end of the branch and held the other end in her hand, then used half a belt to tie the branch tightly to her hand to prevent it from falling off.

Holding the "dagger" made of branches, she waved it twice in the air and nodded with satisfaction.

Watching her familiar movements, Yan Lang asked, "Who are you? Are you a soldier?"

She pointed to her thigh, which had been gnawed to a bone by the big black bear. "Just like them, a guard."

Yan Lang looked at her face, thinking, and then asked:

"You're not from Dongyan, are you?"

She felt that there was no need to be too cautious with a child, so she said calmly, "I am from Nan Country." Then she looked down at the big black bear below who was well fed and resting against a tree, gritted her teeth, calmed herself, and jumped down.

From Yan Lang's perspective, he only saw Yun Chen talking normally the moment before, and the next moment his eyes turned fierce and he jumped off the tree resolutely.

Yan Lang was shocked and quickly stood up to look under the tree.

Accompanied by the big black bear's scream and roar, Yan Lang saw Yun Chen riding on the big black bear's neck, his legs tightly clamped around the bear's neck, and the branch "dagger" in his hand had been deeply inserted into one of the black bear's eyes.

The big black bear shook its head angrily and struggled, but Yun Chen tightly grasped the bear's ears with one hand, and with the other hand he thrust the "dagger" into the bear's eyes even harder, and even began to stir it.

In severe pain and rage, the big black bear let out a terrifying howl and kept using its paws to grab Yun Chen.

Soon, Yan Lang saw that Yun Chen's clothes on the back were torn, and blood was flowing in lines that were visible to the naked eye.

But she seemed not to feel the pain. She shouted loudly, grabbed the "dagger" with both hands, and stabbed and stirred with all her strength.

The big black bear fell down in pain. No matter how it struggled, shaking its head and tail, she did not let go at all, as if she was welded to it.

Yan Lang was so numbed by the sight that he stared down without blinking.

He saw the big black bear rolling on the ground in pain, its huge body crushing Yun Chen again and again.

It wanted to escape, so it used its entire body to hit the tree, causing Yun Chen to hit the trunk again and again, trying to shake Yun Chen off.

Amidst roars, the big black bear carried Yun Chen down a small slope. The man and the bear fell into the grass, and the fight stirred up weeds and dust that rioted wildly.

Yan Lang stretched out his body as far as he could, but he couldn't see what was happening to Yun Chen at all. He could only see the grass and trees dancing wildly.

After an unknown amount of time, the big black bear's roar became weaker and weaker, and gradually stopped...

Yan Lang stared at the bushes, not knowing whether he should open his mouth and shout "Yun Chen".

A moment later, a blood-covered figure slowly stood up from the mess of trees and grass. His aura was as fierce as a night owl, which was frightening.

Yun Chen was so tired that he was breathing rapidly and his hands were shaking constantly. It took him a long time to calm down.

She removed the belt that had cut deeply into her flesh. The branches that had been tightly tied to her hands had all broken into needles and pieces, piercing into her palms.

She wiped her body with her palms carelessly, then walked to Yan Lang's tree, opened her arms, and said:

"Jump down, and I'll catch you."

Seeing that she was still able to speak, Yan Lang let out a long sigh, and then he realized that his back was all wet with sweat.

He had seen many brave guards, but he had never seen one so fierce and fearless.

Without any weapons or shield, relying only on a branch as thick as a dagger and his agile and precise martial arts skills, he dared to fight a ferocious black bear in a one-on-one fight.

Yan Lang jumped off the tree and fell into Yun Chen's arms. Looking closely, he found that her clothes were dirty and torn, and her back, waist, shoulders, thighs... many parts of her body were covered in blood, with broken flesh hanging on the wounds.

"What I said just now was not accurate." Yan Lang said seriously, "You can live to be thirty at most."

She waved her hand nonchalantly, "That's enough."

Yan Lang had nothing to say.

It was the first time he heard someone say "enough" about life span, about just eleven years.

He began to look at her with an inquiring gaze, but it was as if he saw a lotus in the mud. He could only see the sharp night fade away from her dirty body, leaving behind a pair of clean and transparent eyes.

Seeing that Yan Lang's ankle was injured, she squatted down and pointed at her shoulder. "Lie down, I'll carry you. Let's get out of the forest and find a village to rest."

Feeling that Yan Lang didn't move, she turned her head to look.

Yan Lang's brows were furrowed, his eyes looking at her shoulders.

She followed his gaze and looked at her bloody shoulder, and couldn't help laughing:

"Brother, it's already this time, and you still despise me? Stop picking on me, let's go quickly. If another beast shows up, I really won't be able to fight it. I'm already too hungry to have any strength left."

Yan Lang glanced at her, then looked around and pointed to a patch of lush, low grass, saying:

"That's a detoxifying and analgesic herb. Go pull off the leaves, crush them, and apply them to the wound. Otherwise, you'll die of a high fever before tonight."

She was half-believing and half-doubting, and did as Yan Lang said, chewing the grass in her mouth and spitting it out, then grabbing Yan Lang's ankle and covering it.

This time Yan Lang didn't hide, nor did he show disdain, he just asked:

"Why did you save me together and heal me first? You are not my bodyguard."

She treated Yan Lang's wound before applying medicine to herself.

Unfortunately, she had too many wounds on her body. She chewed for a long time, her cheeks were sore, but the herbs were still not enough.

She rubbed her sore face and said, "It's just a habit of being a guard. Besides, you have two of the old, weak, sick and disabled. I'm almost twenty and you're eight. Adults definitely have to take care of children!"

Every time Yan Lang heard the word "child" come out of her mouth, there was a hint of displeasure on his face, but he did not refute.

In the end, Yan Lang compromised, lying on Yun Chen's smelly and sticky back and walking out of the woods.

When passing by the small mound, Yan Lang looked down the mound.

The huge body of the black bear fell to the ground, the surrounding grass and trees were all stained with blood, and a black bear eye was hanging on the tree. The scene was really terrifying.
