Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

This night was destined to be difficult.

In the middle of the night.

The black bear came several more times.

However, Wang Lie retaliated every time.

The servants in the camp huddled around the fire, their eyes bloodshot from exhaustion.

With swords drawn and arrows nocked, no one dared to close their eyes.

One of the servants couldn't stay awake any longer and started snoring while holding his knife, only to be woken up by a slap from his companion.

The black bear was cunning; it always came from a different direction.

This time it's the east, next time it'll be the west.

The chaos caused by the disturbance disrupted the entire camp.

Just as the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn, the beast finally quieted down completely.

Jiang Chuan, perched in a tree, had a clear view of the night scene.

In terms of strength.

Wang Lie was still superior to the black bear.

However, the darkness of the night hampered their performance, preventing them from launching a reckless pursuit.

He also noticed a detail.

The black bear then made several more attacks, all targeting those hunters.

It wouldn't even touch the servants when they were alone.

They only kept an eye on those few hunters.

The first strike missed.

I'll leave immediately.

After he understood the beast's intentions, he felt a chill run down his spine.

This bear even understands the principle of cutting off its wings.

They're incredibly shrewd!

It is clearly very clear.

Only a few hunters could find traces of it in the mountains.

As long as we kill them, no matter how strong Wang Lie is, he won't be able to find it during the day!

"This level of wisdom is no less than that of humans."

Jiang Chuan was secretly alarmed.

If you add to that its formidable strength...

This beast is clearly a tyrant in the mountains!

Wang Lie, on the other hand, had obviously also noticed this detail.

to this end.

He even went out of his way to verify it.

When the black bear attacked again, he deliberately reacted a beat slower.

Sure enough, the black bear actually managed to withstand one of his blows and forcibly dragged away a hunter.

The man was being carried in the bear's mouth, kicking and screaming, but his cries quickly faded into the darkness.

The remaining people looked at each other, their expressions increasingly terrified.

"Just as I thought."

He used a human life to verify one of his conjectures.

Wang Lie's face showed no emotion whatsoever.

In his eyes.

Neither the Wang family's servants nor those hunters were as precious as their own lives.

They would trade their lives for information that could help them.

This deal was undoubtedly profitable.

……

The sky finally brightened.

The campfire went out, leaving only ashes.

A thin mist rose in the mountains, obscuring the shadows of the trees.

The younger Liu was terrified.

Last night, he watched his companion being dragged away beside him and saw the faceless corpses. He no longer had the courage to stay any longer.

As soon as it was light, he found Wang Lie with a pale face and knelt down with a thud.

"Young Master! I... I really dare not stay any longer! I have an elderly mother of sixty years at home. Please, Young Master, have mercy and let me go down the mountain!"

"Xiao Liu! Are you crazy!"

Old Zhao's expression changed, and he quickly went up to pull him away.

"The young master hasn't spoken yet, who gives you the right to speak here! Get up now!"

"Uncle Zhao, I..."

"Shut up!"

Old Zhao lowered his voice and tried to wink at him.

But Xiao Liu was trembling all over and didn't care about any of that.

He banged his head on the ground with a thud, and never looked up again.

To everyone's surprise.

Wang Lie glanced at him and actually nodded.

"Alright."

"Your presence would only be a burden."

"Get lost."

"Thank you so much, young master! Thank you so much, young master!"

As if granted a pardon, Xiao Liu scrambled to pack his things and went off to collect them.

Old Zhao opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say another word.

Xiao Liu was terrified by the monster from last night.

How could he not be afraid?

But he knew it better than anyone else.

That vengeful beast has already set his sights on them!

Following the powerful Wang Lie, there is still a glimmer of hope for survival. Going down the mountain alone now is no different from sending yourself to your death!

Wang Lie's agreement to release the man was not out of kindness.

Clearly, they wanted to use Xiao Liu as bait to lure out the black bear!

His stopping Xiao Liu earlier had two purposes.

On the surface, it was because they were afraid he would anger Wang Lie.

But the real reason is that they don't want him to go and die!

pity.

The kid didn't recognize it.

Old Zhao's mind was in complete turmoil.

He had already realized that Wang Lie would not give up until he caught the black bear.

If this drags on, we might all end up dying on this mountain because of him!

in case……

If we could trade Xiao Liu's life for the rest of them to get down the mountain alive...

"snort."

Wang Lie gave him a cold glance.

Old Zhao was startled and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He gritted his teeth and pulled out a talisman from his pocket.

Then he quickly caught up with Xiao Liu and stuffed it into his hand.

"Here, be careful on the road."

"Uncle Zhao..."

Xiao Liu's eyes reddened, she lowered her head, and her voice was somewhat ashamed.

Old Zhao's eyes were complicated. Finally, he instructed, "Alright, you can go now. Be quick and take the road from Old Tree Gully; it's faster down the mountain."

Xiao Liu nodded emphatically, then shouldered his bundle and walked down the mountain alone.

Soon only a staggering figure remained on the mountain path.

Old Zhao sighed with shame.

Not long after Xiao Liu left, Wang Lie suddenly spoke again:

"Old Zhao."

"I am here!"

"You take these few and come with me separately."

Wang Lie pointed to his men: "That beast only attacks lone people. I'll go alone and lure it out. You guys stay together and don't get separated."

Old Zhao's body stiffened instantly.

He lived to be his age.

People become shrewd with age.

He could clearly understand the meaning behind Wang Lie's words.

Wang Lie felt that using Xiao Liu as bait wasn't safe enough.

We need to use them as a second bait!

He had just been secretly relieved that he could stay by the side of this powerful man and at least temporarily save his life.

But in the blink of an eye, they were plunged into the abyss.

"What, you disagree?"

"Or should I say..."

"You want to go down the mountain with that kid too?"

Wang Lie looked at him expressionlessly.

"Young Master is joking."

Old Zhao quickly forced a smile and replied, "It is my honor to be able to share the burdens of the young master..."

So, this group of people quickly split into three groups.

Wang Lie was in a group by himself.

Old Zhao, along with several other servants from the Wang family, explored the forest.

The sun has risen, but it's still chilly in the woods.

Jiang Chuan watched all of this from a distance.

In the eyes of these powerful figures, the lives of ordinary people are no different from those of roadside weeds.

This is just how things are in this chaotic world.

but.

He quickly looked away.

The fate of those hunters was none of his concern, and he wasn't going to waste any more time there.

The bear's strength far exceeded his expectations.

For the sake of a few drops of blood and energy, you could easily lose your life.

That's not worth it at all.

The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

As for Wang Lie and that bear.

Who lives and who dies.

What does it have to do with him?

Jiang Chuan turned around and silently retreated towards the foot of the mountain.
