Chapter 121 The Naive Herb Picking Team
Just like that, Mao Gougou and the others followed Huo Qinghuang into the depths of the dense forests of Changbai Mountain with a relaxed mood.
The sun shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves, spots of light jumped on the ground, the surroundings were quiet and peaceful, with the occasional crisp bird calls, making Mao Gougou and others feel that this journey to find medicine was just a relaxing adventure.
These are all leftovers from their previous games.
When Mao Gougou started live streaming in the past, they also went to many wild places with him and were able to handle it easily every time.
Although there were some problems this time, with Master Huo accompanying us, it should be no exception.
"Master Huo, look around here. The forest is dense and there are hardly any people here. I'm sure there are a lot of good things here. We will definitely find the herbs you need soon!"
The hairy dog grinned, excitedly waved the simple hiking stick in his hand, and strode forward.
That posture seemed as if he had already seen the precious medicinal herbs all over the mountains waving to him, and he looked very confident.
Huo Qinghuang glanced at him without saying anything, but just silently quickened her pace.
These guys are still too naive. It is true that few people come to the deep forest, but the mountain is full of monsters.
They wouldn't think that those foxes and yellow-skinned beasts don't understand the usefulness of medicinal herbs and only know how to hunt and eat meat, right?
As we go deeper into the mountains and forests, the road becomes increasingly rugged and difficult to travel.
The originally clearly visible path was gradually covered by dense grass and tangled vines. Everyone had to use their hands and feet to push aside the numerous obstacles and search hard for possible medicinal herbs in the forest.
The hairy dog's trouser legs were torn by thorns, and there were tiny bloody marks on his face from the branches.
But he still forced a smile and consoled himself: "It's okay, this is what makes the process of finding the medicine so difficult. When we find it, the sense of accomplishment will be overwhelming!"
The other few people looked sad after hearing this and no longer felt that finding medicinal herbs was an easy task.
However, the difficulties have just begun.
When they reached a valley, a low roar came from all around, echoing between the valleys and making everyone's eardrums hurt.
Mao Gougou and others widened their eyes in horror, their bodies trembled involuntarily, and they held their weapons tighter.
"Master Huo, what's that sound?"
Mao Gougou's voice was obviously trembling. He approached Huo Qinghuang cautiously, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, trying to find the source of the sound.
Hearing this, Huo Qinghuang raised the corner of his mouth and deliberately said loudly: "It's a blind bear. This valley is its territory. We accidentally broke in."
"What!"
"Blind bear?!"
"Ouch! Don't be so loud, it will attract it!"
After hearing this, everyone gasped and their faces turned pale.
"Woo woo, let's run quickly. I, I don't want to become a blind bear's food..."
The girl in yellow was so scared that she started crying.
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge black bear slowly walked out from behind the bushes.
When it stood up, it was more than two meters tall.
Its black hair gleamed glossy in the sun, its sharp claws scratched deep grooves on the ground, and its pair of blood-red eyes stared at everyone, as if examining these uninvited guests.
Mao Gougou and others were so scared that their legs went weak and they almost collapsed to the ground.
One of the companions couldn't hold back any longer and screamed in fear: "Oh my god, help! How can this thing be so big? Run!"
Having said that, he turned around and tried to escape.
Huo Qinghuang was quick to grab him and shouted, "Don't move! You can't outrun it, it will only anger it and make it attack you faster."
Upon hearing this, everyone had to suppress their fear and stood still, not daring to move.
"roar!"
As if to confirm Huo Qinghuang's words, the black bear raised its head and roared, the sound rolling like thunder.
Its huge figure was like a mountain pressing down on their heads, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.
"Master Huo, what should we do?"
Several people were so anxious that they were running around, their faces as pale as paper.
However, Maogougou felt more confident when he saw that Huo Qinghuang remained calm.
"What are you afraid of? Master Huo is so powerful, how can he not be able to deal with a mere blind bear, right, Master Huo?"
As Mao Gougou said this, he looked at Huo Qinghuang with a flattering smile on his face.
The black bear seemed to feel the threat from Huo Qinghuang. It lowered its head and let out a series of dull roars. Its paws kept beating on its chest, as if it was about to attack.
Huo Qinghuang glanced at him and said calmly, "This is the price you should pay. Why do you want me to help you deal with this blind bear?"
"ah?"
Mao Gougou was dumbfounded. He never expected Huo Qinghuang to say such a thing.
The rest of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with despair and helplessness.
But the black bear didn't give them any chance to breathe. It approached them step by step, and the growl from its mouth became more and more frightening.
"You! How could you stand by and watch someone die without helping?!"
The hairy dog reacted and yelled at Huo Qinghuang with an angry face.
This roar immediately attracted the black bear's attention.
It stared at the hairy dog with its big blood-red eyes, and a low, hoarse growl came from its throat. Its pair of fangs were exposed in the air, emitting a cold and eerie light.
The hair on the dog's body stood on end and his legs went weak with fear.
He grabbed Huo Qinghuang's arm and begged for mercy: "Master Huo, I was wrong, please help us quickly!"
Huo Qinghuang had his hands behind his back, watching everything coldly, when he was suddenly grabbed by someone and he subconsciously threw it away.
"Bang!"
The hairy dog suddenly fell out like a sandbag, rolled into the grass, and fell flat on its face.
He screamed, and before he could get up, the black bear rushed towards him with a roar.
"Ah! Master Huo, help me!"
The hairy dog's face turned pale in an instant, and tears flowed down his face out of fear.
The corners of Huo Qinghuang's mouth twitched.
Although she said that these people had to pay a price, at most she would just make them suffer a little, but she didn't want their lives.
Moreover, she still needs these free laborers to help her find medicinal herbs. If they die here, wouldn't she be left without help?
Just when the black bear was about to pounce on the hairy dog, Huo Qinghuang suddenly took action, took a step forward, and with a dagger in his hand, he went straight to chop at the black bear's head.
Her movements were so fast that it was dizzying.
Several people didn't even see how she made the move, before they saw the black bear's head separated from its body and rolled to the ground.
Blood splattered, dyeing half of the hillside red.
Everyone's eyes widened and their mouths opened in complete disbelief.
Although they had all seen Huo Qinghuang in action and knew that she was very powerful, this was a blind bear, extremely powerful and ferocious, yet he was killed in one move!
This, how is this possible?
