Volume 1 Chapter 396 Human Bear

Holding hunting rifles, the group headed into the mountains under the watchful eyes of the villagers of Shiqiao Village.

The villagers all looked worried, and they were all terrified. They thought to themselves: Is it really that dangerous deep in the Qishan Mountains? Are there wild beasts everywhere?

"Master, you have to protect us." Nangong Huan'er walked up to Li Tian and said to him coquettishly.

"It's my duty to protect you," said Li Tian.

After getting Li Tian's assurance, Nangong Huan'er felt more at ease and nodded heavily: "Yes."

Liu Zhen snorted in disdain: "We do have dangerous mountains in our country, such as the Greater Khingan Range, but this is Dongshan Province. There are wild boars and wolves in the mountains. I believe there are black bears, man-eating pythons, and eagles that can pick up people. This is absolutely nonsense."

His judgment was recognized by Zhou Tienan, who nodded in agreement: "Yes, it can't be that dangerous. If there were so many wild animals, this place would definitely be protected, and Shiqiao Village would be forced to relocate by the state."

"So you think there is something wrong with the old village secretary of Shiqiao Village?" Lin Lan grasped the key points of the two people's statements.

Liu Zhen laughed and said, "Telling such a scary story is obviously to scare us and keep us from going into the mountain."

“But why doesn’t he want us to go into the mountains?” Nangong Huan’er asked puzzledly.

"I don't know about that."

Liu Zhen spread his hands and said, "Perhaps they are afraid that we might disturb their mountain gods. In a remote village like this, where feudal ideas are deeply rooted, it is normal for people to worship mountain gods and land gods."

"Okay, stop guessing. The old village secretary specially lent us a hunting rifle. His intention must be good. He doesn't want us to be hurt by the wild beasts in the mountains." Wang Haisheng cleared the name of the old village secretary.

Wu Yuanliang echoed, "Whether the old village secretary has any problems is another matter. We must be careful on this trip."

"Yes, teacher." Liu Zhen nodded.

Then the group headed towards the depths of the Qishan Mountains.

The hills here are at a high altitude. The deeper you go, the denser the bushes become, and the ground is covered with a layer of black rotten soil.

Wang Haisheng and Wu Yuanliang held a Feng Shui compass all the way, observing and comparing the surroundings.

After dark, we set up camp by a creek.

In order to guard against wild beasts, a bonfire was specially lit.

Li Tian did not spend the night in the tent, but climbed up a big tree to rest.

His movements were swift, even silent. To Wang Haisheng and his group, he disappeared suddenly.

It shocked everyone.

“Master, master.” Nangong Huaner shouted to all around.

"Stop shouting. Mr. Li said that we should just treat him as transparent. Don't disturb him all the time." Wang Haisheng said to Nangong Huaner.

Nangong Huan'er pouted: "Oh."

Li Tian on the tree couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Wang Haisheng. It turned out that the old ones were more open-minded and sensible.

To be honest, if he hadn't married yet, he would definitely take advantage of girls like Nangong Huan'er and Lin Lan who approached him actively, and even play the game of siege and capture with them if he had the chance.

But he is married. His wife, Gu Ruoxi, is as beautiful as a fairy and is pregnant with his child. He said he would not mess with other girls anymore, and he means it. As a man, you have to keep your word.

"Don't be afraid, Huan'er. I'm here and I will protect you." Zhou Tienan seized the opportunity to show his courtesy.

Nangong Huan'er smiled, did not respond to the conversation, and turned to chat with Lin Lan.

“Roar~”

Suddenly, a beast's roar came from a distance.

It rolled like thunder, exuding a strong breath of wild beasts.

"It looks like a human bear. Hurry, climb up the tree." Wang Haisheng had been around a lot and had quite a bit of experience. When he heard the roar, he immediately made a judgment and quickly told people to climb the tree.

When they heard it was a man-bear, Zhou Tienan, Nangong Huan'er, Lin Lan, and Liu Zhen all panicked and looked for nearby trees that were easy to climb.

Liu Zhen climbed up a big tree in no time.

Lin Lan and Nangong Huan'er were not slow either, they found a tree and climbed up.

Zhou Tienan climbed up a tree with Lin Lan and Nangong Huaner.

As an assistant and bodyguard, Zhao Han was relatively responsible. He helped Wang Haisheng and Wu Yuanliang climb the tree first, and then he climbed up the tree himself.

After several people climbed up the tree, a black-haired figure emerged from the bushes. It was a majestic man-bear.

Seeing this human-bear, Lin Lan and Nangong Huan'er were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they cuddled up to each other tightly on the tree.

Zhou Tienan and Liu Zhen were so angry that they didn't dare to breathe. They had previously said that the old village secretary of Shiqiao Village was a liar, but the appearance of this human bear proved that the old village secretary was right.

"Be quiet!"

Wang Haisheng whispered to everyone.

In fact, there was no need for him to remind everyone and no one dared to speak out.

This bear-man is too big, probably weighing about 800 to 900 kilograms. If it attacks them, they may not be able to subdue it even with a hunting rifle.

A look of surprise flashed across Li Tian's face. There actually were bears in this mountain. At first, he also thought that the old village secretary was talking nonsense.

Below, the bear man relied on his sense of smell to come to Zhou Tienan's backpack, easily tore the backpack open, and then tore into the cans that fell out of the backpack, eating them with relish.

Li Tian did not take action. Humans and nature should live in peace. You can't just kill a bear when you encounter one, or kill a wild boar when you encounter one. This is too unfair to wild animals. After all, this is their home.

Compared to his calmness, the others were terrified. The bear-man ate the canned food with loud chewing sounds and a lot of saliva flowing from his mouth.

Everyone hoped that the man-bear would finish eating and leave as soon as possible.

But in many cases, things don't go as planned. The bear man stopped eating the canned food after a while, sniffed the air, and smelled the breath of a stranger. He raised his head and immediately met the eyes of Nangong Huan'er and Lin Lan on the tree.

“Roar~”

Upon discovering humans, the bear-man roared and violently rushed towards the big tree that was carrying three people.

"Bang~"

A claw slapped the trunk of the tree, and the whole tree shook violently.

"Ah, no, no!" Nangong Huan'er grabbed the branch tightly and screamed in fear.

Lin Lan yelled at Liu Zhen: "Hurry up and shoot it! Drive it away!"

Shiqiao Village gave two hunting rifles, one to Liu Zhen and the other to Zhou Tienan. However, Zhou Tienan was in a panic and forgot to bring the hunting rifle when climbing the tree, so only Liu Zhen took it.

"Liu Zhen, shoot it, quickly!" Zhou Tienan also shouted.

The bear-man rushed towards the tree like a mad beast that smelled blood.

The violent turbulence spread from the bottom of the tree to the top of the tree. Nangong Huan'er, Lin Lan, and Zhou Tienan all thought they were back on Flight 741, the shaking was so severe.

Liu Zhen frantically tried to reload the hunting rifle, but failed for a long time.

However, the bear-man now climbed directly up the tree.

The bear-man was an expert at climbing trees. He climbed up the tree in the blink of an eye and immediately caught up with Zhou Tienan.

Zhou Tienan was so frightened that he almost died. He climbed up and shouted, "Professor, help me, help me!"
