The Ground-Trampling Bear is powerful and likes to rampage through the forest. It is extremely aggressive, but it does not pose a particularly strong threat to mercenaries.
The reason is that every time it moves, it will make extremely violent noises. As long as you find out the direction the ground-trampling bear is moving, you can easily avoid it by changing direction.
However, no one expected that after their team had the misfortune of encountering a ground-breaking bear and had to change their direction and take a detour, they would encounter such a bear cub.
When we were walking forward just now, no one noticed that there was a bear cub here that had stuffed itself into a tree trunk!
If the situation wasn't so urgent, they might have wondered, "How did this bear cub manage to squeeze itself into a tree trunk? How did you do such a difficult feat?"
But the reality was that, accompanied by the rumbling sound of the earth shaking, the adult violent bear rushed over quickly, leaving them no chance to react.
The bear cub had kept quiet with its head facing the tree trunk, so the adult bear didn't notice anything was wrong and ran away.
But when the bear cub fell from the tree hole and let out a howl of grievance, the adult bear, which had already run far away, quickly reacted and ran back here.
The ten-meter-tall black bear glared at the aggrieved cub with its pair of black eyes, and then turned its gaze to the people who were fleeing in all directions.
Whether it was due to the extremely aggressive nature of the ground-trampling bear, or the adult bear blamed everyone for the bear cub's grievances.
The heavy earth-attributed spiritual power exploded all around, and the violent bear opened its huge mouth, roared, and rushed towards one of them.
At the same time, numerous stone pillars appeared within a radius of 500 meters, and an ochre-colored spiritual shield covered the sky, stopping everyone's escape.
The bear cub that fell from the tree hole imitated the adult bear, opened its mouth and roared, then ran up with it.
The person targeted by the Ground-Trampling Bear was just an ordinary team member. After realizing that he had become the target of the Ground-Trampling Bear, he became completely panicked.
He kept urging his spiritual power to bless his legs, ran with big strides, and shouted in a trembling voice, "Lin, Brother Lin, help, help me..."
The sturdy man ran while calling for help from his companions, and gradually, there were hints of tears in his voice.
No one can remain calm in the face of life and death.
The man in shorts stopped in front of the stone pillar, sweat dripping from his forehead. He knew that the Treading Bear was planning to take their lives here.
However, what can they do?
In the entire team, his cultivation has reached the fourth level of awakening consciousness, while the others are only at the spiritual level. How can they possibly fight against a fifth-level spirit beast?
This is not a fight at all, but a one-sided abuse!
After a moment of silence, the short-sleeved man suddenly calmed down.
Yes, I can't fight! I can't confront the Ground-Stomping Violent Bear head-on, so I can only find a way to break through this cage of stone pillars!
If someone in this team must die today, then... he can only survive with the others.
Give up some and save some.
It was helpless, but it was the most correct decision he could make now.
Yes, correct.
Thinking of this, the short-sleeved man ignored the cries for help from his teammates behind him, and burst out with spiritual power to slash at the stone pillar in front of him.
As long as a gap is opened, some people can escape from here and escape from the claws of the ground-trampling bear.
Just as the short-sleeved man swung his knife, the man who had called for help earlier was caught up by the adult ground-trampling bear.
A tragic and desperate wail was heard, and blood splattered everywhere, quickly infecting the surrounding dead branches and leaves, and then touching the ground through the cracks.
Everyone who heard the scream couldn't help but have tears in their eyes. This was their companion. They were chatting and laughing together before!
But now, they have become ghosts under the claws of the bear, and they... are powerless to do anything.
They may even have to take advantage of the death of their companions to escape for their own survival.
Because even if they turned back, they would only add one more soul to the bear's paw.
The short-handed man slashed at the stone pillar with all his might, his red eyes revealing the unrest in his heart, but...
This blow, which meant giving up on his companion, only left a tiny crack on the stone pillar in front of him.
Compared to the stone pillar that is ten meters high and one meter in diameter, the arm-sized crack is too thin and too small.
Noticing the movement from the short-haired man's side, a gleam of ridicule flashed in his eyes as he turned around to chase after another fleeing mercenary.
It was confident that these were the prey trapped in its cage and could not escape its clutches at all.
So it treated these people as toys, playing with them at will, chasing and playing with them, and finally, ending their lives with one claw.
"Aoao!" The bear cub took unsteady steps and ran around following the adult bear. It didn't matter if he fell down. He just got up and became a happy little bear again.
The short-sleeved man continued to chop the stone pillar in front of him with a knife, his eyes red.
He knew that the chances of breaking the stone pillar were slim, and he also knew that the Ground-Trampling Violent Bear would not watch him break the stone pillar and escape with the others.
But what else can we do?
Apart from using his spiritual power to chop at the stone pillars again and again, what else could he do?
What else can we do? Only one or two people from this entire team can survive, even one or two will do...
On one side was the excited howl of the Ground Bear, and on the other side were the terrified cries of the mercenaries. The contrast was obvious in this enclosed disc.
But suddenly, the man in shorts heard a small but clear snapping sound, as if the sound of a spiritual fruit being crushed, coming from above his head.
The short-sleeved man hurriedly looked up and saw a young man.
The boy, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, was dressed in gray-black clothes. He was squatting on a stone pillar formed by a violent bear. Outside the spiritual power shield, he was biting a fruit while looking at the chase scene in the center with great interest.
On his handsome face, there was an obvious mark, a slave mark.
The man in shorts was surprised for a moment and wanted to ask for help from the young man above. He wanted to prevent all the people he brought out from dying here.
But after seeing the boy's cultivation level, the short-sleeved man gave up the idea.
The young man, like him, was at the same level of enlightenment and was no match for the Earth-Trampling Violent Bear.
His appearance here must be an accident. Why did he have the bad luck to end up here?
The short-sleeved man thought so and slashed at the stone pillar with his sword, cursing at the same time, "Can't you see the situation clearly? Why don't you leave quickly?"
They were trapped between the stone pillars and couldn't leave, but this young man still had a chance to survive!
Then he saw the young man above throw away the fruit core and jump down.
