Li Su'er bumped into Wang Bing and Wang Qin halfway there, and she quickly told them about her encounter with the giant short-faced bear.
The group immediately headed towards the small snow-capped peak. With Lucky Star and Little Black there, and with their weapons, they had no need to fear even a giant short-faced bear. Rescuing Chen Yang was their top priority.
However, by the time they arrived, it would probably be too late. They could only hope that Chen Yang could find a way to hold off the giant short-faced bear.
After arriving at Xuefeng Mountain, they immediately followed the footprints. In the snow, the footprints of Chen Yang and the giant short-faced bear were very obvious.
After walking for a while, they saw bloodstains.
“The bleeding is quite heavy; it shouldn’t be Chen Yang,” Wang Bing said with some surprise.
This amount of bleeding is beyond human capabilities, unless Chen Yang was torn in two. But in that case, there should be some organs on the ground.
They continued to follow the trail of blood and footprints and soon spotted Chen Yang.
Chen Yang was sitting in a tree, using a branch to whip the snow wolf that tried to jump up and attack him.
There were only four or five snow wolves attacking Chen Yang under the tree; the others were feeding around the carcass of the giant short-faced bear.
The European Emperor let out a cry and immediately ran over. When the snow wolf pack saw the European Emperor, they immediately hesitated to retreat.
With a roar, Xiao Hei charged forward. The snow wolf pack, without hesitation, turned and ran away under the leadership of the Green Hat Wolf King.
Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his sore shoulders.
He used both hands alternately, wielding the tree branch as a whip, and had been whipping it for an hour, breaking three branches in the process.
The situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to think, so he climbed the nearest tree. The tree was a bit short, and if he didn't concentrate on dodging and swatting at the wolves, he could easily get bitten.
Fortunately, he knew that if he could hold on a little longer, Li Su'er would come to him with reinforcements, which was the reason he was able to keep going.
This green-hatted wolf king is really vengeful. In one hour, several waves of wolves came to guard it, and it was almost never stopped. It didn't even allow it to rest.
Li Su'er brought the rescue faster than he expected, which made him very fortunate. If she had arrived half an hour later, he might have been able to hold on, but his arm would probably have needed some time to recover.
"Chen Yang, did you kill this giant short-faced bear, or did the pack of wolves kill it?"
"I killed it by luck. It took a long time, and finally it rolled down and crashed into a tree before dying," Chen Yang said, pointing to a very obvious ditch on the snow slope, which was the mark left by the giant short-faced bear.
"You'd better say you're an alien, that would make me feel better," Wang Bing said with a laugh.
Chen Yang shrugged and then walked to the giant bear's carcass.
The giant bear had already been eaten quite a bit by the wolves, but its limbs were still intact. The wolves were too busy attacking Chen Yang to eat much.
Chen Yang found the spot where he had inserted the Tenacious Blade and pulled it out of the giant short-faced bear's body.
It was the stubborn blade that delivered the final blow to the giant short-faced bear, ending its life.
The blade's indestructible and incredibly sharp nature prevented it from breaking; upon impact, it penetrated deep into the giant bear's body, shattering its bones. This instantly killed the already severely injured giant short-faced bear.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't want to kill you if you hadn't attacked me," Chen Yang said to the giant short-faced bear's carcass, then began to dispose of it.
Although it was an extinct prehistoric behemoth, it was dead and that was that; Chen Yang didn't feel much guilt.
The giant short-faced bear's pelt is no longer intact, but the pelt on its back is relatively well-preserved.
Chen Yang only took the bear skin and paws from the back and the area connecting to the abdomen; he didn't take the rest of the meat, as it was getting dark and they needed to hurry back.
Little Black showed no sympathy for its kind, and even helped hold a bear paw, seemingly happy that it could be eaten that night.
The four bear paws and the bear skin were quite heavy, and it wasn't until after dark that everyone managed to descend the small snow-capped peak, still some distance from the cabin.
However, they could already see the firelight from the cabin. With Xiao Hei and Ou Huang around, they weren't afraid of any animal attacks, so they continued on their way.
The moonlit night in the snow was very bright. It was a night with few stars and a bright moon. The snow reflected the moonlight, making everything hazy and mysterious.
They were lucky; there was no snow or wind tonight, and everything around them was quiet.
Because the moonlight was bright, visibility was good, and their speed didn't slow down much. In the snow, whether it was day or night, they could only walk one step at a time, and they couldn't walk very fast during the day either.
As they approached the cabin, Dong Yujue and Xia Yue came to greet them.
"What's going on? If you guys don't come back soon, I was about to leave and call you to wake you up," Xia Yue said.
They were worried that Chen Yang might be in danger, so they didn't dare to wake him up and could only wait.
There is a delay in withdrawing. When you encounter danger, this delay may not kill you, but it is normal to lose a piece of flesh or something. Therefore, Chen Yang would rather hold out against the wolf pack than withdraw.
If he had been dragged down the tree by the wolves when he left, he might have lost more than just a piece of flesh.
Chen Yang told Dong Yujue and Xia Yue about their encounter with the giant short-faced bear and the wolf pack, leaving the two women speechless.
"You're getting stronger and stronger." Dong Yujue felt inferior.
“Sometimes it depends on luck. Against monsters like this, no matter how strong you are, it’s useless. Master Chanshan can easily beat me, but against a giant bear, he is definitely not as good as me,” Chen Yang said.
Master Chanshan was too old to race against a giant bear like Chen Yang. His skills were indeed very effective against humans, but against a giant bear, they were practically useless. This is what is meant by "overpowering all techniques with sheer force."
Chen Yang was lucky. Although he was hit, he was not seriously injured. The tenacious blade was also sharp enough to wear down the bear to death.
If it were just a matter of martial arts, even three Chen Yangs together would only be destined to be smashed into mincemeat. Even if the giant short-faced bear stood still and let Chen Yang attack it, it would take him most of the day to defeat it.
That evening, they roasted one bear paw, while the other three were left frozen.
The best thing about the snow is that you don't have to worry about food spoiling. The entire snowfield is a natural refrigerator, so you can just dig a hole and bury it.
Four large bear paws would be enough for six people to eat for several days. They wouldn't need to hunt anymore, and once they finished eating, they could end their trip and go back.
When Chen Yang offered Xiao Hei bear paws, he hesitated. Xiao Hei, on the other hand, had no qualms about feeding him. He drooled and stared longingly at Chen Yang.
The bear skin was also left to dry. Bear skin is excellent at keeping warm, and Chen Yang planned to leave it here so that other people could wear it when they came.
Master Chanshan usually wore hemp clothing, but he was forced to wear animal skin clothing only when he entered the snow.
However, this time Chen Yang and his group brought cotton-padded trousers and cotton-padded clothes, so Master Chanshan changed out of the animal skin.
