Whoosh... The arrow pierced through one of the black bear's shoulders.
This thing is so tough that a regular crossbow can't hurt it at all. Even such a powerful heavy crossbow can only embed the arrow into its shoulder.
Ye Xingchen inwardly cried out in alarm, "Damn it, Ma Chenglong's hands are too fast!"
If you encounter this thing in the wild, even if you have a weapon, you shouldn't attack it easily unless you injure its vital organs and take it down.
If you can't knock it down directly and hurt other parts of it, it will only provoke its ferocity, and it will be even worse if it goes berserk.
Sure enough, the arrow was shot out, and the bear felt the pain, which immediately enraged it.
It roared and leaped out of the tree hole, then slapped a hunting dog on the head.
The lead hound couldn't dodge in time, let out a mournful howl, and was slammed to the ground, bleeding from its mouth and nose. It struggled on the ground, clearly on its last legs.
This hunting dog was a Czechoslovakian Wolfhound, a valuable breed of hunting dog. One slap and it was dead.
With a single slap, the black bear killed a hunting dog, roared, and then charged towards Ma Chenglong.
After Ma Chenglong fired an arrow, he quickly loaded a second one, but he underestimated the speed of the creature. The black bear pounced on all fours, covering the distance of more than ten meters in an instant.
One of his subordinates reacted quickly, drawing his hunting rifle and firing a shot.
Because of the tension, the shot ultimately missed, but at least it distracted the black bear, which then swung its paw after landing.
Ma Chenglong was sent flying several meters away by this slap. Fortunately, it wasn't a direct hit, otherwise he would have ended up like that hunting dog.
But after landing, the guy grabbed a heavy crossbow, quickly went forward, and fired another arrow at the black bear.
This time, the black bear was thoroughly enraged. It abandoned its henchman holding the hunting rifle, turned around, and ran wildly towards Ma Chenglong on all fours.
Because of the extreme distance, Ma Chenglong was almost dumbfounded. He was about to nock an arrow, but due to his nervousness, the arrow fell to the ground with a thud.
The black bear slapped the crossbow out of his hand, then took a few steps forward, stood up, roared, and waved its paw.
Enraged, the black bear could probably smash this guy into a pulp with one swipe of its paw.
Ma Chenglong stood there dumbfounded, watching the bear paw grow bigger and bigger. He closed his eyes and thought to himself, "Damn, I've really messed up this time."
However, just as the bear's paw was about to touch his head, an arrow flew diagonally by with a whoosh.
*Thud*... A bear paw flew through the air, its massive paw splitting open.
At the crucial moment, Ye Xingchen drew his bow and arrow, channeled his inner energy, and shattered the bear paw into pieces with a single shot.
An arrow imbued with true energy is as powerful as a sniper rifle. If this arrow is not infused with true energy, even if it hits, the palm strike will still land, and Ma Chenglong will either die or be seriously injured.
Bai Zilin has already contacted her superiors, and a large net has been laid to take action against Nanshi. This guy can't die here.
The black bear, having lost a paw, let out a deafening roar. The intense pain made its eyes bloodshot as it glared angrily at Ye Xingchen.
Now is not the time to hide his strength. Unable to unleash the Crimson Sky, Ye Xingchen leaped up, grabbing a bamboo stalk about the thickness of a thumb as he rose. In a flash, he covered the distance of dozens of meters in an instant.
His figure passed by the black bear, and *thud*... a bamboo stalk pierced one of the black bear's eyes and went through the back of its head.
Blood spurted out, and the black bear let out a desperate howl as its massive body fell heavily backward.
Thump... The body, weighing hundreds of pounds, fell heavily to the ground, just centimeters away from crushing Ma Chenglong.
Ma Chenglong was still in shock. He lay there, breathing heavily.
"Young Master Ma, are you alright?" Several henchmen rushed over and hurriedly helped him up.
"It's alright, I'm fine." Ma Chenglong struggled to his feet, looking at the black bear lying on the ground, already dead, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear.
"Brother, thank you so much. You saved my life." Ma Chenglong looked at Ye Xingchen gratefully.
It's true, the black bear just stood up upright and was at least two meters tall.
If that slap had landed, he would probably have been turned into a meat pie.
Damn it, I've never encountered anything this ruthless before. Today was the first time I've encountered something so dangerous that I almost lost my life. I can never be so reckless again.
"It's good that Young Master Ma is alright. If anything had happened to you, I really wouldn't know how to explain it to President Kun when I got back." Ye Xingchen also breathed a sigh of relief.
Ma Chenglong is no good, he has to die too, but he can't die here, he has to go back to Nanshi before he dies.
"Thank you, I will remember your life-saving grace." Ma Chenglong nodded, then looked excitedly at the bear.
This bear is an adult, weighing over 300 pounds. He likes to hunt, but he has few hunting grounds and mostly hunts small animals.
The largest one is at most a deer.
This time, he took down the bear directly. Although he didn't do it himself, he participated anyway.
He quickly stood next to the bear's carcass and had someone take a few photos of him, which he would later use as bragging rights.
"Young Master Ma, it's getting late. We can't go any further. There are even more dangerous things in Savage Valley tonight," Xiao Wei advised.
"Alright, let's pack this up and head back. Today's haul was pretty good." Ma Chenglong nodded. What just happened was truly dangerous, and he really didn't dare to go any further.
“Skin this thing off for me, hehe, this is my trophy.”
"Alright, Young Master Ma." His henchmen took out knives, stepped forward, and began to skin him.
These henchmen were skilled; they skinned the bear in just over half an hour, then took the bear paws, gallbladders, and other valuables, carefully collected them, and left.
"Brother Ye, how did you manage that arrow?" As he was leaving, Ma Chenglong remembered the bear paw that Ye Xingchen had shattered with a single arrow.
He was too nervous before and didn't notice the power of that arrow at all; looking back now, it's quite terrifying.
What kind of force could shatter that bear paw with a single arrow? Perhaps only a sniper rifle could do that.
"Internal energy," Ye Xingchen uttered two words: "When infused into the arrow, its power increases after it is fired. As for what kind of power it will be, it depends on the amount of force applied."
"The situation was critical just now. In desperation, I used all my strength to shoot that arrow. Because the force was too great, it caused this phenomenon."
"So that's how it is. You're actually a master of internal martial arts?" Ma Chenglong looked at Ye Xingchen in surprise. "No wonder President Kun values you so much. I'm growing to like you more and more too. If I weren't acquainted with President Kun, I would have tried to snatch you away."
