Chapter 10: The Prince Still Needs a Bear Skin to Back Him Up
Tao Xue on the tree cried and shouted, "Princess!"
Xiang Yuanxiao looked at Xiang Yuanlang and said, "Second brother, you go!"
Xiang Yuanlang immediately untied the straps on his body and slid down from the tree.
Just as he was about to take his little steps to look for Xiangying, Miss Lin II hurriedly jumped down from the tree and stopped him.
"Don't go! The princess resorted to this desperate measure to save everyone. You must not get into any trouble again."
Xiang Yuanlang's little body struggled, and Xiang Yuanxiao shouted anxiously from the tree: "Let him go, my second brother can subdue the bear!"
Second Miss Lin didn't take it seriously. The child was still so young, and the eldest princess had already sacrificed herself for others, so how could she watch her child die?
She climbed up the tree holding the little one in her arms.
at this time.
Xiangying had already attracted the black bear away, and she quickly climbed up a tree nearby.
Unexpectedly, the black bear also climbed up after her, opening its bloody mouth and spewing white mist.
I just shot several arrows at it until the bow and crossbow ran out of power, but it only suffered minor injuries.
But it was completely enraged, and it would not stop until it had torn Xiangying into pieces.
Xiangying took out a dagger that was bright enough to shine from the space without any panic.
With the blade facing outward, she bit the dagger in her mouth.
Then, he raised his head and jumped backwards!
Xiangying grasped the black bear's mane with one hand, held the dagger firmly in his right hand, and stabbed it directly into its eyes.
The black bear roared in pain and fell from the tree.
Xiangying jumped away swiftly to avoid the attack, but the black bear got up unexpectedly and attacked even more fiercely.
She threw the dagger away, took out a sword from the space, held it tightly with both hands, and held the sword across her eyes.
The cold white blade reflected her icy phoenix eyes.
"You came at the right time. My prince brother is still in need of a bear skin to support him."

When the military supervisors and others in the front learned that the troops in the rear were attacked by wild beasts, they immediately arranged for most of the soldiers to return to provide assistance.
However, when they arrived, they only saw people trembling in fear in the trees.
Yupin cried out of breath and pointed in the direction where Xiangying disappeared.
"The princess, the princess led the bear away..."
The masked military supervisor was tall and led his men to search in that direction, but was stopped by Xiang Qianqian.
"Wait, are you still going to take care of her?"
The military supervisor looked back, and underneath the black iron mask, there was only a pair of eyes, deeply cold.
He stared at Xiang Qianqian without saying anything.
Xiang Qianqian came down from the tree, her steps were weak and her face was pale.
"We should leave quickly, lest that beast come back and hurt people again."
As soon as she finished speaking, several people around her echoed:
"Yes, the most urgent thing is to get out of here quickly."
"What's the point of looking for her? The princess must have already... Alas!"
Tao Xue said angrily: "How could you do this? The princess wanted to protect everyone's safety, so she made herself a target to lure away the black bear!"
"Not only are you ungrateful, you also don't allow the military supervisor to rescue her. Do you have any conscience?"
Xiang Qianqian paused, frowned and said, "But it wasn't us who asked her to sacrifice herself. You can't blame us."
The person who just agreed with her also nodded.
They were all afraid that the black bear would come back. The bear was so big, almost two meters tall.
I saw it with my own eyes hit someone with one claw and smash his skull into pieces.
Xiang Yuanxiao clenched his fists and pointed at them angrily.
"I'll remember you! If you don't save me, I'll do it myself!"
After saying that, he took a step forward, turned around and ran towards where Xiangying had left.
The two children, Xiang Yuanlang and Xiang Xiuxiu, also hurried to follow.
The three children were grabbed by the soldiers and struggled desperately.
But without the order from the military supervisor, no one dared to let them go.
Yellow Beard carefully moved to the side of the military supervisor and said, "Military Supervisor, this... Look, the eldest princess is at least the eldest princess of the Western Zhou Dynasty, so why don't you care?"
The most important thing is, if Xiangying dies, who will give him the antidote?
Yellow Beard was so anxious that he wanted to curse.
The masked military supervisor said coldly: "I'm not afraid that she's dead. I'm afraid that she's not dead and then runs away."
After saying that, he led his men to look for Xiangying.
Tao Xue and the three children walked even faster and ran past him quickly.
Xiang Qianqian looked at them and found it unreasonable.
"What if the wild beast comes back at this time and kills us all? Are you only concerned about Xiangying and not the main force?"
No one answered.
Everyone followed the blood splattered on the ground and thought they would see Xiangying's torn body.
Unexpectedly, they saw Xiangying with his back to them, cutting up the black bear's carcass with swift movements.
Neatly arranged beside them -
Bear bile, bear claws, and whole pieces of bear meat.
She heard some noise behind her and turned around, her face half bloody and half bright.
"Wait a minute, the bear skin will be cut off soon. I found it, you can't steal it."
Her tone was exceptionally calm, and even had a hint of arrogance in it, and everyone present was silent and astonished.
Tao Xue approached and picked up the broken blade from the ground.
There were blood splatters all over the ground, and it was obvious what a thrilling fight had just taken place.
She cried and went to Xiangying: "Princess, wuwu, I'm glad you're okay. I was scared to death!"
Xiang Xiuxiu rushed over and hugged her arms, and the little girl burst into tears.
"Mom, why are you bleeding so much? You can't die!"
Xiangying laughed and said, "This is not my blood. Just think of it as your mother killing a pig. You will have meat to eat soon. Taoxue, take them to the side."
The masked military supervisor walked towards them with cold steps.
Tao Xue hurriedly held the three children in her arms and stood guard beside Xiangying vigilantly.
"You killed him alone?" The military supervisor's voice was low and pleasant, and even Xiangying felt that it sounded familiar.
She hummed in response: "What else? Is there another person here?"
Xiangying's words made the military supervisor's eyes even colder.
Yellow Beard brought his men to the scene, but the black bear had come too suddenly and he was busy running for his life.
On the way here, he learned that Xiangying killed the bear alone, and after seeing it with his own eyes, his eyes widened even more.
Damn, is this still a woman?
The masked military supervisor turned around and coldly ordered Yellow Beard, "Bring your troops forward and camp outside the forest tonight."
Yellow Beard nodded and just as he agreed, Xiangying said, "Stop."
She stared at the masked military supervisor, and when she met his eyes, she felt that his gaze was as cold as nine layers of ice.
Xiangying: "You are the military supervisor, let me make a deal with you. I want to keep all these things and give you the bear bones I have picked out later."
The military supervisor said in a cold tone: "No one wants your things, and no one has time to wait for you. If you are not dead, get on the road quickly, otherwise you will suffer the consequences."
He left after he finished speaking. Xiangying frowned, thinking that his attitude was too arrogant.
There was no way, she didn't have enough time, so she had to throw the bear bones away.
Xiangying asked Huang Huzi to help her hold the bear paws and bear gall, and Taoxue held a few pieces of cut bear meat for her.
She herself walked back, dragging the bear skin.
There were drops of blood all the way.
Fortunately, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the bear skin was quickly washed clean. Next, they would wait until tomorrow when the weather is clear, dry it in the sun for a whole day, and then sew it a few times before they could give it to Xiangli.
When Xiangying, covered in blood, reappeared in front of the female relatives, everyone looked at her with their eyes wide open at the same time.
