Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

Before dawn, a layer of fog rose on the south side of Bai Niu Mountain, shrouding the nearby and distant forests in shadow.

Jiang Chuan quickly walked down the mountain ridge.

Dew dampened my trouser legs, and blades of grass rustled against my hem.

They hadn't gone very far.

A scream suddenly came from the distant fog.

Short,

Sad and stern,

Stopped abruptly.

Jiang Chuan paused, listened intently, and found no other sounds except for the mountain wind.

His heart tightened, but instead of stopping, he walked even faster.

He couldn't get involved in what was happening in Bai Niu Mountain.

Even Wang Lie couldn't do anything to that black bear, so he shouldn't have even glanced at it.

But God doesn't fulfill people's wishes.

He hadn't walked more than a few steps when he suddenly stopped.

For a massive figure appeared in the misty forest ahead.

It was a black bear.

It stands more than ten feet tall, covered in thick, coarse black hair, and looks like half a small mountain when it stands on the road.

Its eyes were clear and bright, darting around mischievously, revealing a cunning nature.

The most bizarre thing is its face.

A bear's face is supposed to be a beastly appearance.

But its face.

No matter how you look at it, it resembles a face that has a half-smile on its face!

At this moment, it was lying in the mountains, with a corpse beneath it.

The corpse's face was a bloody mess, with the skin torn off along with a layer of flesh, and its chest was also ripped open.

The black bear had its head down and was gnawing on the steaming entrails.

A fishy smell permeated the forest.

What was even more chilling was that while the beast was eating, its clear black and white eyes were fixed on him.

They seem to be observing his reaction!

An ordinary person would have gone weak in the knees by now.

Jiang Chuan knew all along how powerful this black bear was, and he absolutely did not want to run into it.

And we really did run into each other.

Instead, he immediately calmed down.

Jiang Chuan looked at the black bear in front of him and suddenly laughed and cursed without any expression.

"You beast, you're even playing psychological warfare with me now."

A look of confusion appeared in the black bear's eyes.

It stopped pretending to nibble, slowly straightened up, looked down at Jiang Chuan, and hesitated to make a move.

Because it felt no fear at all towards this human.

In terms of strength.

This guy is clearly not as good as the one from last night.

But the feeling it gave it was different from any of the humans it had encountered before.

"roar!"

The black bear suddenly opened its mouth and roared, the sound waves seeming to materialize and sweeping through the forest.

Jiang Chuan narrowed his eyes.

His hand remained firmly on the hilt of the knife, his emotions showing no fluctuation whatsoever.

He's seen it all, he's even cursed a True Lord to his face, how could a beast think it could scare him with such a little trick?

The black bear began pacing restlessly in place.

In the past, it could scare the humans it encountered into weakness with just these two tricks, and then kill them without lifting a finger.

But this move...

But it completely lost its power in front of Jiang Chuan.

This situation, which was beyond its control, made it uncomfortable, as it had already developed intelligence.

Extremely annoyed!

The next moment.

It moved.

Its massive body moved as fast as a black gust of wind, rushing straight toward him.

Jiang Chuan simply turned to the side.

Then he drew his sword.

The crimson stripe was drawn from its sheath, a flash of cold light!

The black bear slammed down with its paw, a massive, fan-like hand carrying a foul stench, as it descended upon him.

Instead of retreating, Jiang Chuan advanced, his blade flashing upwards.

Pfft!

The black bear's prized claws, unlike those of the previous night, could not hold their own against Wang Lie's treasured sword.

It was severed in an instant!

Along with half of its hand, it fell to the ground with a thud!

"roar!!!"

The black bear was in pain, and its roar changed tone.

Blood gushed from the severed hand, splattering all over Jiang Chuan's face.

next moment.

Without hesitation, it turned and fled!

It finally realized that the human in front of it was not someone it could mess with!

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the fog!

Jiang Chuan immediately took the longbow from his back.

But soon, he put it down again.

This guy is incredibly fast. He darts left and right while escaping, his movements are so cunning that it's impossible to hit him.

Moreover, that roar just now probably alerted the others in the woods.

He didn't want to get entangled, so he put away the half bear paw and turned to leave.

……

Not long after Jiang Chuan left, a figure in a moon-white outfit landed on the open ground.

It was Wang Lie.

He examined the body on the ground and looked around, but found nothing else besides bloodstains.

Just then, another scream came from afar.

Wang Lie's expression changed.

He suddenly realized that he had been tricked by that cunning bear!

"You think you can lure me away from my prey?!"

He lightly touched the ground with his toes and sped off in the direction from which the screams came.

……

Jiang Chuan wandered around in the mountains and forests for about half an hour before slowing down.

The fog hadn't lifted yet, and all the trees on all sides looked the same.

He finally realized something embarrassing.

he's lost.

He went into the mountains yesterday with Wang Lie's group. He was not familiar with the area at all and forgot to leave any markers when he left.

Jiang Chuan chose a direction and walked in silence, but after going around and around, he ended up back at the starting point.

Jiang Chuan stood in front of a crooked tree, his face looking rather grim.

Just as he was feeling helpless, he suddenly smelled blood.

A thought struck him.

The corpse that the black bear dragged over earlier should be the same Xiao Liu he had met before.

As a hunter, he might be carrying something like a map.

That beast had just suffered a loss, so it probably wouldn't dare to stay there again.

Jiang Chuan immediately rushed towards the direction from which the fishy smell was coming.

Not far.

He stopped abruptly after rounding a thicket of bushes.

The scene before him was beyond his expectations.

It wasn't Xiao Liu.

Instead, it was Old Zhao and his group who were used as bait by Wang Lie.

He frowned; the scene before him was truly horrific.

The ground was littered with severed limbs and broken arms.

The man was torn to pieces, his intestines and internal organs scattered everywhere, and his blood seeped into the soil, turning the fallen leaves on the ground black.

The black bear seemed to have suddenly gone mad, using this place as a place to vent its anger.

A pile of dismembered corpses.

You can't find a single one that's intact.

"you……"

Suddenly, a weak voice called out to Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan looked up.

It turned out to be Old Zhao, who wasn't quite dead yet.

He was only half a body left, wedged across a branch of a large tree, leaning against the trunk, and was still breathing!

Jiang Chuan blinked, facing the old hunter he had met once before.

In a short time.

I don't know what to say.

He opened his mouth, "Do you have any last words? If it's about me avenging you, then forget it, we're not that close."

Old Zhao couldn't hear what Jiang Chuan was saying at all.

He was delirious, only repeating one sentence over and over again:

"...Please, please...go to Liu Family Village...and tell them to move...that beast...holds a grudge...he'll take revenge...!"

Before he could finish speaking, Old Zhao's eyes widened, and he fell completely lifeless.

Jiang Chuan stood still.

Old Zhao's last words echoed in my mind.

Are they vengeful?

And they'll even retaliate?!

In all his years, this was the first time Jiang Chuan had ever been held in the lurch of a beast!

This sounds absurd, but if it happened to that strange black bear, it doesn't seem so outrageous after all...

He stood there for a moment.

Take a deep breath.

The beast suffered a loss at his hands, and remembered his appearance and his scent.

If I let it escape today, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep peacefully in the future!

When I looked up again.

Jiang Chuan's eyes were already filled with a cold killing intent.
