In a dizzying moment, he was violently thrown onto the snow beside him. When he opened his eyes, he saw a clear blue sky. Before he could regain his senses, he felt the ground beneath him shake even more violently than before.
"Earthquake! Quick, run, run!"
His mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out. For a moment, Qin Yi couldn't tell whether this was a dream or reality, because after just one tremor, the ground returned to calm.
Zheng Aiguo and his group had witnessed simple skills, but the fighting power of the wild boar and the bear was on a completely different level, and there was really not much to compare.
The scene remained silent for a long time before someone finally spoke.
"This...this is...your sister-in-law has been beaten to death?"
"Is she dead, sister-in-law?"
Simple,
"Thank you, I'm still alive, but if you're asking about the bear, then it is indeed dead."
But what about the wolves?
Qin Yi finally got up.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, hurry! Company Commander Cheng, Company Commander Cheng lured the bear away, and the wolves followed too."
Sister-in-law, hurry and save him!
"What the hell? What's he doing here? Didn't he tell you to stay put down there?"
He simply turned and left, which made sense of the sounds he had just heard. It was probably Brother Chao trying to stall the wolves. But where were the wolves?
Didn't they take advantage of the chaos?
Without time to think further, she rushed towards the sound and saw a dark figure swaying as it stood up. Jian Dan's heart tightened immediately; Cheng Chao was arguably the most tacit and trustworthy relative and friend she had known in recent years.
On a larger scale, he was also an excellent soldier with considerable skills. Although he couldn't use a gun, dealing with this bear wouldn't have been easy for him, but it wouldn't have been too brutal either.
Perhaps it was because she was too concerned, but her first thought was that Cheng Chao had been harmed by it?
A surge of anger welled up inside him, and without thinking, he grabbed the machete in his hand and charged forward.
"You beast, let go of my brother!"
With a single blow of the machete, the dark figure collapsed limply to the ground, and the person in front finally spoke.
"You're back?"
"Brother, how are you?"
Didn't I tell you not to come up? Why don't you listen?
Are you hurt? Let me see.
Cheng Chao was covered in blood, but he seemed to be in decent spirits. Upon hearing this, he forced an awkward smile.
"Thankfully, I won't die."
Jian Dan then looked at the dark figure from before. It wasn't a bear at all; it was clearly a wild boar. She immediately panicked.
Where is that bear?
"Cough cough, it's nothing. Look at the pit ahead."
In a deep pit a dozen meters away, six or seven corpses lay scattered about. One was pitch black, belonging to a bear, while the others were grayish and clearly the wolves that had been watching the commotion earlier.
"Brother, you killed the wolf?"
Even though it's simple, I don't dare to act rashly. The main reason is that these creatures have a very strong vengeful mentality. If you kill one, there will be a constant stream of others coming to seek revenge, which is not worth it.
"no,"
Having lived in Northeast China for so many years, how could Cheng Chao not know this basic common sense?
"I lured them together, but I didn't lay a hand on the wolf. As for that bear, cough cough, it was surprisingly strong. I think I'll break at least two of my ribs."
Cheng Chao didn't hide anything from him.
"I almost died here. If word got out, my reputation built up over half a lifetime would be completely ruined."
"Then you still dared to come, and even dared to lure yourself out? Aren't you incredibly bold? You were even planning to sacrifice yourself to the mountain god!"
"screw you!"
After saying that, Cheng Chao coughed violently, coughing up several mouthfuls of dark red blood clots. Even the greatest anger in his heart dissipated.
"Alright, alright, stop with the useless talk. I'll go get someone to take it down to you."
Cheng Chao had lost a lot of blood and didn't hear clearly what Jian Jian said. It wasn't until several wounded soldiers came over to help him downstairs that he realized something was wrong and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
"Hey? Why aren't you leaving?"
"You go down and treat your wounds first. I'll be down in a bit. We can't let all this prey go to waste."
Cheng Chao was in a daze, but he knew that Jian Dan wasn't that kind of person. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't resist his increasingly dizzy head. His head tilted to the side and he passed out.
Qin Yi was exhausted and couldn't help even if he went down the mountain, so he stayed by Jian Dan's side.
"Sister-in-law, there aren't that many prey. It's just that the bear is a bit of a challenge. The wolves are nothing. You don't need to follow them."
Zheng Aiguo nodded as well.
"Sister-in-law, you should go down the mountain quickly. They're all covered in blood, and the political commissar will be worried about you. If you take care of this big one, all the brothers will be able to go back safe and sound. That's already a stroke of luck, they've escaped with their lives."
With a simple wave of her hand, she could feel the increasingly impatient atmosphere in the woods; she couldn't dawdle any longer.
"Hurry up, get the brothers over here, hide, quick!"
"Sister-in-law, where's the prey?"
"Don't move, make a few more cuts. The blood should be as fresh and warm as possible. Be quick, don't get it on yourself, and come back as soon as you're done."
Everyone was a little injured, and everyone thought that being able to carry the prey back would be a good thing. Why did my sister-in-law say that?
Everyone looked at Zheng Aiguo, who was also bewildered and didn't understand either, but that didn't diminish his admiration and trust in Jian Dan.
"Go, and hurry!"
Orders must be obeyed without question.
Soon everyone returned, and the stench of blood, which had just begun to fade, returned. After a brief moment's thought, I went over and sprinkled some more liquid.
