Xiong Da was resting against a tree. Xiong Er, who had been standing behind Xiong Da with a timid and obedient look, was now walking towards Yun Duoduo with bear-like steps.
Xiong Er opened his mouth wide, revealing his teeth and saliva.
[Don't come any closer!]
Yun Duoduo pulled out a silver needle from her sleeve and shot it at Xiong Er with all her might.
However, Yun Duoduo's silver needles and hidden arrows were all designed for human use, and she never expected to encounter such tough-skinned Xiong Da and Xiong Er.
Seeing that the silver needle had only pierced the surface of Xiong Er's acupoint, she couldn't help but feel distressed.
[Am I going to die here today?!]
Xiong Er seemed annoyed by Yun Duoduo's silver needles. It pounced on Yun Duoduo and then took out poison powder from its bosom and sprinkled it over.
Xiong Er roared angrily, getting closer and closer to Yun Duoduo. Yun Duoduo could feel Xiong Er, who had been hit by the poison powder, swaying unsteadily.
Suddenly, with a loud thud, Xiong Er fell to the ground.
[Wow, it's already fallen over?]
[Zhuangzhuang's research into the Chronicles of Ten Thousand Insects and Ten Thousand Beasts wasn't in vain; this medicinal powder is truly effective.]
Yun Duoduo looked at the fallen Xiong Er with a smug expression.
[You've fallen into my hands, haven't you? Serves you right for being so cocky!]
Before Yun Duoduo could even feel smug for two minutes, Xiong Da roared, "You two-legged beast, what did you do to my brother?!"
When Xiong Da saw Xiong Er fall down, he rushed over to check on him.
Big Bear licked Little Bear's face. Seeing that Little Bear didn't move, it turned around and angrily pounced on Yun Duoduo. Yun Duoduo was out of weapons, so she quickly rolled to the side and dodged Big Bear's first attack.
Seeing that the two-legged creatures were quite clever, Xiong Da raised his heavy and powerful paw and slapped Yun Duoduo on the forehead.
Yun Duoduo rolled to the side again, avoiding the bear's paw, but her left ankle was scratched by the bear's paw.
She was still slower than the bear.
It hurts so much!
The excruciating pain shot from my ankle straight to my head, making Yun Duoduo's eyes water.
She dared not linger, dodging the bear's large paws.
If this slap landed on the head, it could cause anything from a concussion to a severe head injury with the skull split open and brain matter splattered.
Yun Duoduo, dragging her aching leg, found it increasingly difficult to dodge Xiong Da's movements.
This bear looks incredibly clumsy, but it moves with surprising speed and agility.
Death—Yun Duoduo felt the fear of death once again…
Xiong Da pounced on Yun Duoduo again. Yun Duoduo couldn't dodge in time and was about to experience the expected pain.
However, the scenario of having one's head swallowed by the bear, as imagined, did not happen.
Instead...
Big Bear gave her a big bear hug.
【Huh? What's going on?】
Peaceful coexistence and friendly diplomatic relations?
Before Yun Duoduo could think, she felt a warm liquid soaking her clothes.
She shoved Xiong Da away abruptly, only to find three feathered arrows stuck firmly in its body.
The arrows were very powerful; one pierced through Xiong Da's skull, and the other two pierced through Xiong Da's two paws.
A strong, fishy stench wafted over.
【It stinks!】
Big Bear...
Dead?!
Yun Duoduo stared in surprise at the motionless Xiong Da and Xiong Er in front of her. The sound of horses' hooves behind her pulled Yun Duoduo back to reality.
She turned her head and saw that it was Jin Jinzhi.
[Sumire's older brother?]
Are you alright?!
Jin Jinzhi put down the arrow in her hand, dismounted, and anxiously checked Yun Duoduo. Only after confirming that the bloodstains on her body were not hers did she feel relieved.
"Let's go, I'll take you back."
Jin Jinzhi helped Yun Duoduo up, and Yun Duoduo suddenly felt a sharp pain in her ankle.
"Ouch, it hurts!" Yun Duoduo bent over in pain.
"What's wrong? Did you hurt your foot?"
Jin Jinzhi quickly bent down to check Yun Duoduo's feet. He took off Yun Duoduo's shoes, took out some wound medicine from his pocket, and sprinkled it on her feet.
"You need to go back and rest quickly; this injury can't be left untreated."
The bear paw still had some force; Yun Duoduo's shoes and socks were already soaked in blood.
Jin Jinzhi carried Yun Duoduo onto the horse, and the two headed back.
Yun Duoduo sat on the horse's back, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
[As long as my brother Sumire is by my side, I'm safe.]
“Brother Jinzhi, your arrows are amazing! They even pierced through Xiong Da’s skull.”
Yun Duoduo recalled the scene just now and broke out in a cold sweat.
"The arrowheads of the Zhenbei Army are made of fine iron, and the shafts are made of very hard bamboo."
"Therefore, it can penetrate."
Jin Jinzhi said calmly, "The horse is walking very slowly."
Yun Duoduo nodded. No wonder her hidden arrows weren't working. Now that she heard this, she realized it was because her equipment was inadequate.
However, it's truly amazing that he could shoot so accurately at a moving target like Xiong Da, who moves so fast.
"Brother Jinzhi, you're amazing!"
Yun Duoduo kept praising Jin Jinzhi, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Brother Jinzhi, how did you find me?"
"I followed the hoofprints, and then the hoofprints broke. I heard a loud bang, followed by a roar, and I rushed over to the sound."
"I see." Yun Duoduo nodded.
"Where's the whistle I gave you?"
Oh, right, where's the whistle?!
Yun Duoduo touched her neck. She was so happy and proud of her new clothes that she had forgotten herself. The whistle must have landed on the dressing table.
