Reborn in 1985, starting from the mountains of Northwest China

"What do you mean?" Old Huang hurriedly asked, disgusted by what he had just witnessed.

But they are outnumbered now, and they would definitely be at a disadvantage if they fought, so they have no choice but to endure it.

"We'll each go our own way and lead them around the mountains. We'll meet up at Jishuitan later."

Jishuitan is actually just a small puddle. He and Lao Huang had given names to many places in the mountains when they were chatting.

After setting the timer, Chen Feng and Lao Huang suddenly separated and walked in opposite directions.

Old Ma and his group immediately looked very ugly. They originally thought they had them cornered, but Chen Feng's move was completely unexpected!

"Uncle, what do we do? Who are we supposed to follow?"

Old Ma frowned deeply; he was unsure of what to do. No matter who he followed, he risked falling into their trap!

There is also the possibility that Chen Feng and Lao Huang felt that the chances of fighting the bear were slim, so they simply gave up.

He'll just lead this bunch of people aimlessly wandering around in the mountains, and then he'll make a fool of himself.

Seeing the two walking further and further away, Old Ma gritted his teeth and said, "You and Third Brother go after Old Huang, and I'll go after Chen Feng with the others. We'll take him into custody. With a hostage, Old Huang won't have to give in."

The nephew hesitated, "I think we shouldn't go too far. After all, the town leaders all have a good relationship with Chen Feng. If we go down the mountain, he'll go and ask those people for help. We won't only fail to gain anything, but we might even end up in jail."

Hearing this, Lao Ma calmed down and said, "Then we'll follow them for a while. If they're not heading towards the north slope, we won't follow them!"

Let's meet under the tallest tree on Wufeng Mountain later! I refuse to believe that after decades of hunting in the mountains, who's really that much worse than whom!

Seeing that Lao Ma and the others were following him at a moderate distance, Chen Feng decided to play hide-and-seek with them. Sometimes they would walk uphill, sometimes downhill, and occasionally they would turn back.

The group was completely bewildered by him, and soon after, a burst of angry curses erupted as they broke down. They then turned and left, no longer following Chen Feng.

Seeing that there was no tail behind him, Chen Feng deliberately took a relatively secluded path, and waited until he was sure that no one was following him.

Only then did he quicken his pace and head towards the place he had agreed to meet with Lao Huang.

When Chen Feng arrived, he found that Lao Huang had been there for a while. He laughed and said, "How did you get here so quickly? I had to lead Lao Ma and the others around in circles before they finally gave up."

"Pah! A few immature brats dare to pull this on me! We hadn't been apart long when I gave them a piece of my mind, and those cowards ran away as soon as they saw me!"

"Haha, it has to be you again, Lao Huang!"

Chen Feng stopped joking around and, after resting for a while, they quickened their pace to head towards the hiding place of the bear from their previous memories.

The north slope of Wufeng Mountain is much steeper than the south slope, so you have to be extra careful when you walk there.

Moreover, because they were delayed on the way, some hunters had already gotten ahead of them and left many traps along the way!

If you're not careful and get hit, at the very least you'll lose a leg!

Therefore, hunters usually have their own hunting grounds and rarely venture into other people's territory. But the Zhao family's bounty this time broke this unspoken rule of the hunting community!

"Money can corrupt people's hearts," Old Huang lamented once again, reflecting on the decline of morality and the loss of traditional values.

Having experienced the developments of the following decades, Chen Feng had become accustomed to these things and offered words of comfort:

"It's alright. In the end, it all comes down to real ability. Just being cunning and sly might get you some small advantages, but it won't get you anywhere!"

Old Huang nodded. Nobody's stupid these days. Those people have ruined their reputations; their future prospects will only become narrower!

The north slope is so vast, and they don't even know its exact location. To think they could find the bear's hiding place is simply a pipe dream!

As Chen Feng and Lao Huang got closer to the cave, they slowed down. Bears have extremely sensitive hearing and smell.

It can often detect a person from thousands of meters away. Old Huang deliberately grabbed a handful of soil, rubbed it repeatedly in his hand, until all the clods of soil were worn away.

Only after letting the water flow down through a small gap in the palm of your hand, confirming that you are downwind.

Previously, Chen Feng led the way, but now Lao Huang took the initiative to walk in front. When they were still a hundred or two meters away from the cave where the bear was hiding,

Old Huang suddenly made a few hand gestures, signaling Chen Feng to lie down and hide. He then took out a pair of binoculars from his bag.

This was a high-end item he had asked his son to buy for him in the provincial capital. Since he got this thing, he was much more at ease observing his prey before hunting. He no longer needed to rely solely on his eyes like some hunters.

Chen Feng gave Lao Huang a thumbs up. The old hunter was well-equipped; he had never thought he could use binoculars to observe prey.

Old Huang held his breath and began to carefully observe the bear den. This bear was very clever; it had chosen Tiancangzi.

It's a tree hollow that's hundreds of years old. This place is located on the mountainside on the north slope, with a relatively open view and almost nothing obstructing the view.

If they went any further, they would inevitably attract the attention of the bears, which is why they didn't go directly to the bear den to shoot.

Firstly, he was worried that hunters might have already arrived in the area, and if he went there rashly, he might be accidentally injured.

Secondly, this bear is very vigilant during hibernation; it may move away at the slightest noise.

After carefully observing with his binoculars, Lao Huang confirmed that there were no other hunters in the vicinity, and no animal tracks were found on the snow near the bear cave.

Old Huang made a few more hand gestures, indicating that he was about to go forward to scout the situation, and that Chen Feng should provide cover from behind.

The two followed closely, getting closer and closer to the bear cave.

Chen Feng felt his heart beating faster and faster, his breathing becoming rapid, and the white breath coming out of his nose and mouth condensing into ice crystals on his lips.

The two of them circled around, going around from behind the tree hollow. The reason they didn't go through the front was to lure the bear out of the hollow on its own.

Otherwise, if they try to pry open those rocks, they might be ambushed by a bear!

Old Huang took out an axe and chopped at the old tree with all his might, causing the snow on the tree to fall down.

However, the deafening roar that they had anticipated after the bear was awakened did not occur.

Instead, a deathly atmosphere filled the air, and Chen Feng secretly thought that something bad had happened.

Is this bear trying to outsmart them? They didn't bring a chainsaw this time, so trying to cut down this four- or five-meter-diameter tree with an iron axe is just wishful thinking!

Now that things have come to this, they have no choice but to take a gamble!

Chen Feng walked to the front of the tree hole and fired a shot. He refused to believe that the bear could pretend not to hear it!

But after a few minutes, there was still a deathly silence!

Chen Feng and Lao Huang realized there was a problem and hurriedly moved the stones away, but the scene inside the tree hole left them dumbfounded!
