Chapter 126 System, send us back quickly!
An even louder roar came, shaking the entire forest.
The beasts under the tree suddenly fell silent, raising their heads to gaze into the depths of the forest, their eyes filled with fear.
Zhang Cheng and the others felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
They could barely handle these, let alone if something even more powerful came along…
Before they could come up with a solution, heavy footsteps echoed from the depths of the forest.
The footsteps grew closer, the ground trembled, and the beasts under the trees began to stir, eventually retreating in all directions.
What is that?
Zhang Cheng stared wide-eyed, gripping the gun in his hand, intently watching the depths of the forest.
Chen Youwei also looked solemn. "It sounds like some kind of enormous beast. These rampaging beasts are afraid of it, so it's going to be very difficult to deal with."
Soon, a huge figure appeared in the rain. It was a black bear, as big as an elephant, with glossy black fur that almost blended into the rain. Only its scarlet eyes were particularly striking.
The previously ferocious beasts scattered in terror upon seeing the black bear, fearing that it would target them.
The black bear didn't chase them, but walked straight towards the tree, its eyes fixed on the people in the tree.
"What...what kind of monster is this?"
Chen Youwei's voice trembled, "Is this still a bear?"
Zhang Cheng gripped the gun tightly, his mind racing: "Its target is us. We're running low on bullets, so a direct confrontation is out of the question. We can only try to stall for time until it loses patience or the downpour stops."
His biggest worry was that bullets would be useless against it, just like a giant saber-toothed tiger, impervious to blades and bullets.
If they accidentally anger it, they're all doomed.
While they were thinking, the black bear had already walked to the foot of the tree, raised its head and let out a deafening roar at the people in the tree.
The raindrops on the leaves were shaken and fell in a rustling sound. Several people hugged the tree trunk tightly, praying that it wouldn't climb up.
Seeing that it couldn't scare the person down, the black bear raised its huge paw and slammed it against the tree trunk.
The tree shook violently, and branches broke off one after another. Yuanyuan was so frightened that she clung tightly to the branches, tears streaming down her face.
The wolf cub and the white bear bared their teeth at the black bear and let out fierce howls, but they were too small to pose any threat to the bear.
"Bang!" Zhang Cheng fired without hesitation. The bullet hit the black bear, but it was like hitting a steel plate, leaving only a small bloodstain and causing no real damage.
Upon seeing this, all three of them changed their expressions.
The worst-case scenario has occurred.
Enraged, the black bear pounded the tree trunk even more frantically, widening the cracks until it was about to break.
"What do we do? It's not afraid of bullets!"
Yu Na was already scared, and when the hand that was patting her loosened, she slid down from the tree.
"Fish!"
Yuanyuan reached out to grab it, but couldn't catch it at all. Even Su Xue next to her didn't react in time.
Terrified, he could only scream "Ah ah," his hands flailing wildly but unable to grasp anything.
"Grab me!"
Zhang Cheng stuffed his pistol into his pocket, grabbed the tree trunk with one hand, and reached out with the other to try and grab him.
But when his hand brushed against the hem of Yu Na's clothes, he couldn't grab her; he only touched a piece of cloth that was wet with rain.
Chen Youwei tried to stop him, but missed and almost slipped and fell.
When the black bear saw its prey fall, its scarlet eyes shone even brighter.
It opens its blood-red maw, waiting for its prey to fall into its mouth on its own.
"System! Send us back immediately! Right now!"
"quick!!!"
Yuanyuan was so anxious that she almost shouted it out.
Only one thought remained in her mind: the fish must not die.
The little wolf and the little white bear got anxious and started howling at the black bear's head. They even tried to jump down, but Su Xue grabbed them and held them down.
Just as the black bear's paw was about to touch the fish, a flash of white light appeared.
The black bear's paws missed their target and slammed heavily onto the tree trunk.
"Creak!"
The sound of branches splitting mingled with its roar.
Finally, with a loud crash, the tree, which the two people couldn't encircle, fell to the ground.
The rebounding tree roots struck the black bear, making it even more ferocious.
They frantically pounded on the branches, but there was no sign of their prey.
...
"Ouch!"
"Bang bang bang—"
After a few dull thuds, Yuanyuan and the others fell into a heap.
Chen Youwei, who was at the bottom, grimaced in pain, and the others quickly got up.
As the white light faded, the little wolf and the little white dog rolled out as well.
Where is this?
There was no torrential rain, no roars of beasts, only the scent of grass and earth carried by the evening breeze.
"Cough cough!"
Chen Youwei lay on the ground, coughing and spitting out bits of grass from his mouth.
"Cough...why...why am I at the bottom?"
"You might be at the very bottom."
"..."
Yuanyuan bumped into someone, and her bottom was numb and sore. She didn't have time to rub it, and she got up and rushed to Yu Na's side.
"Fish, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Yu Na was still in shock and remained silent.
It was so close, so very close, that it ended up in the bear's mouth.
They, the mermaids, were indeed sworn enemies with the black bear.
Yuanyuan reached out and touched Yu Na's arms and legs, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they were not broken.
Zhang Cheng and Su Xue slumped to the ground, panting heavily, their clothes dripping wet, their hair a mess plastered to their faces.
Meanwhile, in the forestry bureau's monitoring room, more than a dozen pairs of eyes were fixed on the large screen, and no one dared to breathe loudly.
Gu Zheng clenched his hands on his knees, his knuckles turning white, his gaze never leaving the screen.
He almost lost his balance when he saw the fish fall.
I don't dare to think about what he would do if something happened to Yuanyuan.
How do I explain this to Xia Zhiyun?
Lu Yuan, standing beside him, was equally anxious. "Quickly call the system! Why isn't it back yet? Didn't we get to travel freely now?"
Old Zhou was so anxious that he slammed his fist on the table. "What kind of black bear is this? It's so big! Even bullets can't penetrate it!"
The president of the animal association clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and then couldn't help but open them again for a second look. "Gods bless us! The children must return safely."
This is the only little girl in our China who can communicate with the beast world!
This time, no one will laugh at his superstition; instead, everyone will be worried for them.
"It's okay, everything will be alright. Think about how the saber-toothed tigers were also invulnerable to blades and spears. Yuanyuan can communicate with them."
"Yes, yes, everything will be alright!"
"What kind of bear is this? Is there no one from your Zoan-type group?"
"..."
The others didn't speak, but the anxiety in their eyes was impossible to hide.
The forestry bureau staff dared not breathe, staring intently at the screen. Some were so nervous they bit their lips, their notebooks crumpled in their hands.
Just as everyone was on tenterhooks, a white light suddenly appeared on the screen, and the figures of the group disappeared.
"Where is he?!" Old Zhou jumped up, almost knocking over his cup. "Why is the screen black?"
"Don't panic!" The technician quickly operated the equipment. "The signal was lost, it should be back!"
