Chapter 22 Hunting the Bear
Sun Feng looked at the black bear cub lying in the distance and gently shook his head at Zhou Chen.
After gesturing a few more times with his hands, Zhou Chen finally understood what he meant.
The black bear cubs are just ordinary wild animals, though they are quite valuable. But the real value lies in the bear demon that has reached the level of skin refining in its lair.
"Kill the bear cubs first, then hunt the big ones," Sun Feng whispered to Zhou Chen.
The two men, one on the left and one on the right, about twenty or thirty meters apart, moved forward alternately.
Before long, they reached the black bear cub by about a hundred paces.
Zhou Chen saw two barely perceptible cross marks fifty paces ahead.
Sun Feng had already laid a trap here, waiting for today to strike.
Since Zhou Chen couldn't see clearly from a distance, he simply used his spiritual tracking ability.
In an instant, the subtle clues beneath the distant trap markings became clear.
His eyes swept towards the distant cave, where a violent aura, accompanied by a thick bloody scent, was growing and swirling.
Zhou Chen glanced at the intensity of the blood energy on Uncle Sun's body, then looked at himself.
"He's twice as good as Uncle Sun, and 50% better than me."
Having assessed the strength of the bear demon in the cave, Zhou Chen felt somewhat relieved.
Two against one, the advantage is mine.
When the two walked within a hundred paces of the black bear cub, Zhou Chen shook his head, signaling them to stop.
Uncle Sun looked at Zhou Chen with a puzzled expression.
According to the original plan, he would first wound the black bear cub, lure the bear demon in the cave into the trap, and then work together to kill it.
But now they are still a hundred paces apart, and with his archery skills, he is not confident of hitting the target.
Seeing that Uncle Sun was puzzled, Zhou Chen raised his hand, pointed to himself, and then pointed to the black bear in front of him.
Uncle Sun paused, his face showing confusion.
To hit the bullseye every time from a hundred paces away, one's archery skills must at least reach a basic level of mastery.
He had only ever seen such archery skills in Zhou Chen's missing father.
"Surely we can't achieve small success all at once?" This absurd thought grew stronger in Uncle Sun's mind.
The supernatural power of telepathy was quietly activated.
The world appeared different in Zhou Chen's perception.
The wind speed, wind direction, and even the breathing of the black bear cubs resting on the ground in the distance were all visible to Zhou Chen.
Before the bowstring was even drawn, the momentum was already full.
Clang!
In an instant, the arrow left the bowstring, making a strong whistling sound, and was already a hundred paces away in the blink of an eye.
"puff……"
A muffled thud.
The bear cub was struck dumb, letting out a mournful howl that was almost a sob. Its limbs twitched violently for a moment, then it went limp and died.
"Fast and accurate!"
Uncle Sun saw Zhou Chen draw his bow and nock an arrow with lightning speed, and the next moment the arrow was released and went straight into the black bear cub's brain through its eye socket. He was so shocked that he gasped.
"His archery skills have reached a minor level; he can hit a willow leaf from a hundred paces!"
"roar--!!!"
Just then, from deep within the cave, a furious roar exploded like a landslide and a tsunami, causing mud and sand to rush down from the cave entrance.
A huge black shadow, accompanied by a foul stench, crashed out of the cave entrance!
"Watch out!" Seeing the bear demon rush out, Uncle Sun didn't even have time to be surprised by Zhou Chen's rapid improvement in archery skills, and he drew his bow and shot.
The bear demon rushed to the lifeless cub and paused for a few moments before suddenly standing upright, pounding its chest with its paws to vent its anger.
dong dong dong...
With its large, thick paws stomping the ground, the bear had already covered a great distance in just a few leaps.
Zhou Chen and Sun Feng each stood on a treetop, staring intently at the bear demon's running route.
The trap is almost here!
Just as the bear demon's forepaws were about to step over the well-camouflaged pit, its massive body suddenly twisted to the side.
"Snap!"
The edge of his forefoot scraped against the edge of the pit, and he staggered, about to fall, but was stabilized by it.
The trap failed!
Zhou Chen and Sun Shu acted decisively, drawing their bows and shooting.
Two arrows, one on each side, flew straight towards the bear demon's fist-sized eye sockets.
At a distance of fifty paces, even with Sun Feng's archery skills, he could hit the target with a 100% success rate.
The bear demon's huge eyes flashed with ferocity as it looked at the pit not far in front of it and the arrows in the air with a human-like contempt.
Having become a demon, how could it not notice the hunter's traps beside the trees on both sides?
His eyes closed, and his eyelids fell like a thick iron curtain.
The arrow struck his eyelid and fell like an ant trying to shake a tree.
"Hiss, this bear demon is about to break through to the Flesh Refining Realm!" Sun Feng exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.
In the Flesh Refining Realm, the body is as hard as iron, and the blood and qi are like a furnace, making one far stronger than in the Skin Refining Realm.
The next moment, the bear demon opened its eyes, and with its two incredibly sturdy bear legs, it leaped up and ran a full twenty steps.
"roar……"
After crossing the pit, the bear demon's eyes turned bloodshot, and it crashed into the tree trunk where Zhou Chen was.
Click, click...
Several times in a row, Zhou Chen leaped and twirled among the treetops to dodge the bear demon's attacks.
But no matter which tree Zhou Chen jumped onto, the bear demon would knock it down the next moment.
"There was no opening for a counterattack."
For archers, distance is life.
Uncle Sun saw that the bear demon was only focused on chasing Zhou Chen and completely ignoring him, as if it knew who had killed its own offspring.
"Let's give it our all."
He gritted his teeth, drew his long, sharp hunting knife from his waist, and jumped down from the tree.
With his archery skills, he had no way of catching the fast-moving bear demon. If he wanted to help Zhou Chen share the burden, he had no choice but to risk his life.
If Zhou Chen could hold off the bear demon for a moment, he might find an opportunity to shoot and kill it.
He approached the bear demon with heavy steps, each step leaving a shallow pit in the ground. His blood and qi, honed to perfection, surged, and his skin glowed with a bronze luster.
The bear demon had just broken a thick log when it felt a dense aura of blood surge up behind it.
It turned around and saw that it was the accomplice of the murderer who killed its cub. It stood up and brought its huge, millstone-sized hand, which carried a foul stench, down on its head.
Knowing that his strength was far inferior to that of the bear demon, Sun Feng rolled on the ground the instant the palm struck, dodging the attack.
Just as the bear demon was about to take another shot, Zhou Chen, who had gotten a brief respite, made his move.
The bow is drawn as full as a full moon, and the arrow is shot like a shooting star.
The white feathered arrow transformed into a white line and shot towards the bear demon's eye socket.
The bear's ears twitched slightly, and as the sound of arrows piercing the air approached, it turned its head to the side.
"laugh……"
The arrow grazed the bear's ear, leaving a trail of blood, but did not cause any real damage.
Zhou Chen's expression remained calm and composed; this bear demon had already developed some human-like qualities.
Aside from its basic defenses from mastering the art of skin refining, its entire body was covered in a thick layer of mud, with only a few areas exposed, as if it were wearing a layer of armor.
The moment the first arrow left the bowstring, the second arrow was already nocked.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!Whoosh!
Arrows were fired in rapid succession, and no matter how the bear demon dodged, it was difficult to avoid them.
As Uncle Sun rolled over to his feet, he saw the bear demon dodging back and forth, seemingly forgetting about him completely. He sneered inwardly, gripped his hunting knife tightly, and stabbed at the bear demon's rear entrance.
That was the only place where the bear demon's lower body was exposed.
"roar……"
A ferocious roar rang out along with the sound of blood splattering.
The bear demon swayed suddenly, but the blade of the hunting knife, made of ordinary iron, broke, and Uncle Sun was thrown far away.
"laugh……"
Suddenly, the bear demon's deafening roar stopped abruptly, replaced by a gurgling sound like spitting out phlegm.
An arrow pierced straight into his mouth.
Zhou Chen touched the empty quiver, drew his dagger, and leaped up, lunging straight for the bear demon's neck.
The bear demon, having mastered the art of skin training, possesses a hide as hard as metal and is further protected by a mud shell, making it incredibly powerful.
But when Zhou Chen stabbed it with his dagger, it was as thin as paper.
A streak of blood spurted from his neck. The bear demon raised his palm to try and strike Zhou Chen, while simultaneously trying to stop the bleeding, but to no avail.
After a while, the bear demon's massive body went completely still, crashing to the ground like a mountain collapsing and a jade pillar falling, kicking up a cloud of dust.
In the mountains and forests, only heavy breathing could be heard.
Uncle Sun rubbed his body as he walked to the bear carcass. If it weren't for his well-developed physical condition, that fall alone would have been enough to render him unable to move.
He looked at the bear demon's still-bleeding neck and the arrow stuck in its mouth, and was secretly horrified.
"If it weren't for you, Xiao Chen, I'm afraid my old bones would have died here."
