Chapter 284 Bear Hunting
We took a nap in the afternoon and had a good meal in the evening. A group of people had a glass of wine and took a shower before setting off.

Bathing is to remove the odor from the body. The odor of barbarians is very strong and is easily discovered and avoided by wild animals.

Delenn told Lawrence various precautions, "When hunting a bear, you must first find the bear. If you are found by a bear with its head down like a bug, you will die like a bug."

Lawrence asked, "What is a bear's main diet?"

Delenn: "Pigs, deer, cattle and sheep, as well as fish in the water and big seals on the ice."

Pigs, deer and sheep are easy to understand. There are indeed many corresponding wild animals here.

People here can't distinguish between animals that are too detailed. Those that look like wild boars are pigs, those with thinner horns are sheep, and those with larger horns are deer.

"Will the bear still go down the mountain to eat the cow?" Lawrence felt that this bear deserved to die even more.

The Clodagh warrior next to Delen replied: "There are bison in the mountains. They like to rush down from the mountains. Their horns are very sharp and stupid. They are almost dead. They are rare now."

Lawrence asked: "Can it be domesticated?"

Delen replied: "No, we have tried this and failed. These cows will attack people when they grow up. If they don't give them food in winter, they will kill people. At other times, if you turn your back to them, they will be suddenly attacked by them." Sneak attack.”

Salil nodded and said: "Dom is like this too. I was hit by Nora when I was a child. I got up and beat her."

Cattle and sheep have a sneak attack instinct, especially rams and bulls.

The same goes for chickens. This is not a spirit of rebellion, but an instinctive gene for rebellion.

Even if they are domesticated for thousands of years, this gene will still exist.

The larger the number, the more such cases will be.

Cows and sheep are pretty good, pigs are more aggressive, and bears are obviously more dangerous than wild boars.

Once the body size increases and the male hormone is too strong, it is inevitable to be brave and fierce.

"Deren, I remember you said before that you wanted to tame the earth-violent bear, but you failed?"

Delen replied seriously: "No, what I want to tame is the wild boar. The wild wild boar cannot be domesticated, and we can't raise such a big bear."

Bears are carnivores and are very large, making them difficult to tame.

Lawrence lost an apiary this time, and all ten beehives in it were destroyed.

A family can eat honey for a month, which is obviously just one mouthful for Earth Bear.

Bees in the wild environment will build their nests on cliffs. After their hometown was destroyed this time, the surviving bees will basically not choose to build their nests on the ground.

However, basically no bees survived, and this time the losses were heavy.

Fortunately, he has long understood that eggs cannot be put in one basket. Lawrence's crisis awareness is reflected in many aspects such as residence, apiary, pasture, and blacksmith shop.

There are also apiaries in the lower reaches, and three beekeeping bases have been opened so far.

No. [-] is the earliest base and the location affected by this disaster. It is dominated by flowers in mountain forests and nearby valley meadows.

No. [-] is an open area near the mountainside. It is the nest where the missionaries and Lawrence were separated before. It is closer to the flower gathering area at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside.

No. [-] is the area south of the stream. Lawrence opened up the lower reaches before discovering the forest people. He relied on Kehalan's ability to plant some flowers and plants for beekeeping and medicinal purposes.

When there are more people, there will be bases No. [-] and [-]. This year, I am busy with defending against foreign enemies and going to sea, so I don't have time to do this.

The output of beeswax is low, and the outside world generally has no intention of buying it. Whether it is southern or western businessmen, they are more willing to buy crow dung, medicinal powder, or iron tools.

I mainly eat the honey myself, and I have a lot of beeswax but I can’t bear to use it myself... I usually light the brazier at night, which is warm and bright.

Lawrence is not nervous about hunting bears. The firepower is strong enough, there are enough people, and there are experienced hunters like Delen to assist.

The Cloda people all have hunting experience. The main force this time is the Cloda people, followed by the Pumixiu people who stayed behind.

Due to time constraints, there was no time to inform Turaka, the old knight, but someone had already sent someone to call him back at noon. If he didn't meet the bear today, he should be in the hunting team tomorrow night.

Lathander stayed at the manor to prevent her home from being robbed.

"There are two apiaries. I took people to sit at the middle stronghold. The rest of the people were divided into two groups. Delen and Brick took the people to the No. [-] apiary, and Salil and Sophia went to the No. [-] base. Kehalan and I are here to support you."

Everyone quickly separated, and Lawrence led the largest number of people to station themselves on the mountain. This was the closest central area to the manor, mountainside, and foot of the mountain.

People were posted here before to monitor large-scale attacks from the south, but the Sidel territory was not in this direction.

There is more than one road in most mountainous and plain areas. The only traffic artery in Kuhl Village is more competitive and important because of this unique advantage.

The weather has become colder in autumn, especially in the mountains which is cooler than in the lower areas.

Kohalan and the rest of the group patrolled nearby, surrounded by soldiers and shieldmaidens standing guard, while Lawrence sat alone in front of the fire, thinking.

A bear can contribute a lot of meat and fur, but more than 50 people have to be mobilized to hunt for this bear, and production in the territory has to be temporarily stopped.

The beehives destroyed by bears are nothing, mainly honey and bees. These bees were hatched one by one and took more than two years to accumulate.

It was originally planned to continue the expansion next year, but now it will be delayed for a few more years.

It was Delen's judgment that the Earth Dire Bear was difficult to deal with, and Lawrence believed in Delen's judgment.

If you can deal with it, you will definitely be able to kill the violent earth bear, but it won't be without any cost.

More than 50 people will be given some rewards regardless of success or failure. These rewards are easy to say. Lawrence mainly does not want anyone to get hurt or die because of this bear.

Lawrence thought about how to fight if he encountered a geomaniac, how to command, and how to rescue those who were injured.

For all the nobles and chiefs of this era, it is worthwhile to exchange a few lives for a bear, and this kind of good thing can only be repeated several times.

Lawrence just wanted to avoid that.

"Wang!!"

"Wang!!"

The sound of a dog barking came from the distant mountain forest. Lawrence, who often fed the dogs, quickly stood up and looked for the direction of the sound vigilantly.

"Wang Wang!"

"Wang!"

The sound seemed to be coming from all directions. After listening for two or three seconds, Lawrence quickly reacted!

"It's the direction of the manor!" Lawrence heard the threat and warning in the dog's bark. It was obviously a sound made when he was in danger.

"Let's go back first! Seravan goes to inform Salil! There is Brick in Delenn, and she will come back on her own!"

"go home!"

Lawrence decisively issued a callback order and quickly ran back towards the manor.

Kohalan quickly followed, and the nearby shield maidens and soldiers also accelerated back.

Everyone's family members were in the manor. After discovering that the manor was in danger, they naturally hurried back to rescue them.

idiot!Lawrence was angry in his heart that he ignored the laws of nature!

Due to its size, it is impossible for the bear to eat enough honey. It is very difficult for a bear in the wild to find honey within reach. The bear is reluctant to part with the honey here, but it still has to fill its stomach.

However, most of the large prey nearby had been killed, or had been driven away long ago. When the bear was hungry, it naturally decided to go to places where the smell of cattle and sheep was strong.

Most of the people in the manor are children and women. Children and women will emit a unique smell, and there are also a large number of pickled foods from the villagers placed randomly near the door of the house. These are all things that attract bears.

Lawrence only focused on using honey as bait to catch bears, ignoring that honey is just a snack for bears, not a staple food!
Kehalan felt Lawrence's nervousness and comforted him: "It's okay. There are more than 100 people defending the manor, as well as men and dogs. Lathander is also waiting for us to go back tonight. Maybe the bear will be gone when we go back." died."

"Yeah." Lawrence could only think so.

Since being attacked by Doug's son once, Lawrence has distributed farm tools and weapons to his slaves and serfs. Every household has weapons for work and defense.

Moreover, there are three watchdogs in the manor, and these three dogs can detect the approach of bears in advance.

In addition, the main force of each family went out to hunt bears tonight, and adults except children were waiting for news. There were also dedicated people patrolling and preparing to respond. Fires were lit in several places in the manor to illuminate it.

By the way, there are crows. Those crows can also detect bears in advance. These crows have a very sensitive sense of smell, but their eyesight is not good at night.

There were mistakes, but I also prepared a lot, and accumulated many advantages over a long period of time to make up for the occasional mistakes.

The most critical thing is the existence of Lathander. When encountering a sudden dangerous incident, a leader with experience in dealing with it is more important than anything else.Lawrence ran for more than ten minutes before he saw the shadow of the bear.

Under the moonlight, a huge creature standing on two legs was standing facing the little man in the camp.

What Lawrence saw was a wall as fat as a tower.

Although not as huge as the Crowfeather Colossus, this is a living giant!
The giant beast quickly turned its head and looked at the approaching little man below.

Lawrence saw the face of the Geoblast Bear. Even though it was more than 50 meters away, the appearance of the Geoblast Bear was still clear and shocking.

Its head has a somewhat triangular shape because of its protruding mouth. This is not ridiculous. The bright quiet eyes are full of ferocious cold light that chooses to devour others. The slightly open breathing mouth is also dripping with water. Lots of new blood.

"Wang!"

The three dogs kept barking at the Dire Bear, and Lawrence quickly shouted: "Don't get close yet!"

Whether it was Lawrence, Khalan and the others, they had spent a lot of energy, and it was not the right time to confront this giant beast head-on.

Lawrence also quickly judged the general condition of the bear. It was over six meters tall, very fat, looked very strong, and definitely weighed more than six tons.

Because of the dog's barking, the Geomaniac Bear quickly looked at the man and dog in front of him.

Under it was the body of a Durila woman. The patrolling woman was first discovered by the Geomaniac Bear, and then she was slapped to the ground and her head was shattered.

Lawrence was waiting for someone, waiting for Sariel and Delenn to come back for reinforcements, and waiting for himself and the soldiers behind him to recover their strength.

Lathander didn't give Lawrence much time. After seeing Lawrence's response, Lathander felt that this was nothing.

"attack!"

Lawrence heard Lathander's cry and understood her plan.

Unlike wild boars, george bears are more aggressive and have no habit of being patient, especially if they are disturbed while eating.

Their extreme food protection habits make them even more violent when their meals are disturbed. At this time, they will not run away, but will kill people they see.

Of course Lathander is not afraid of this. She only needs someone to restrain the earth-violent bear. This period of time is enough to complete the witchcraft.

There is nothing wrong with this plan, the only problem is that people will die.

This is inevitable. Just like people will die in a war, you can try your best to avoid this happening, but you must not avoid fighting!

"Prepare a sneak attack from behind!" Lawrence quickly cooperated with Lathander to minimize the losses.

A large number of stones and iron axes and javelins flew out of the camp.

This time the battlefield was at the camp near the lumberyard. There were more cattle, sheep, and pigs here, and the smell of people was stronger. It was also the only way to approach the manor from the north.

Stones and sticks fell from the head and body of the Geomaniac Bear. These things that can kill people are a bit too childish in front of this giant beast.

The bear skin and thick fat on its body prevented the geodrama bear from suffering any harm.

Just provoked and stimulated.

The Geoblast Bear quickly landed on the ground, let out a roar, and then charged towards the crowd.

The soldiers in the crowd thrust their two-meter-long wooden spears at the violent earth bear.

The big gun held by the three people was quickly pierced into the mouth of the earth rage bear.

The violent giant bear bit the wooden stick, stood up and shook its head violently, sending three men holding wooden guns flying.

The surrounding men and women quickly roared and threw stones at the giant beast a few meters away, trying to attract the beast's attention.

The giant beast hurried over and quickly pinned a man to the ground with its fat and heavy hands.

Click!

The blood on the man's body was squeezed out!

Like birds and mice whose entrails have been trampled to death, this giant beast is an invincible giant to everyone.

The Earth Dire Bear looked at the crowd, drooling heavily from its open mouth, and looked at these short animals with ferocious eyes looking at food.

"boom!"

A huge ball of fire exploded from the Geoblast bear's mouth. As the Geoblast bear wailed out these terrifying flames, the hair on its face and head quickly burned.

The Earth Dire Bear quickly let out a scream, slapping its hands on its face.

Just as the people around were about to get close to the giant beast that was burned by the flames, the Geomaniac Bear lay down on the ground and started rolling because of the pain and the flames spreading on its claws.

Its body was huge. After lying down and rolling around twice, it crushed three or four people nearby to death, and even the houses and wood were smashed into pieces.

Upon seeing this, Lawrence quickly shouted: "Everyone spread out!"

Lawrence did not need to command. After witnessing the terrifying power of this violent earth bear, men, women and children all ran towards the church quickly.

Lawrence discovered that this geomaniac was extremely dangerous!
Otherwise, children in nearby houses will be in danger.

The giant bear rolling on the ground quickly rubbed its burning palms and face against the ground. Fortunately, the humidity in the forest at night was high, so there were no branches, leaves and wood on the ground around it to ignite.

It took two or three minutes for the Earthburst Bear to extinguish the flames on its body. At this time, the smell of barbecue was exuding on its face and hands.

The giant bear that stopped rolling roared fiercely at the crowd and charged directly at the nearest person.

The distance of more than ten meters only required two steps to almost reach it, and the earth violent bear quickly opened his hands and pressed down.

Lawrence looked at the soldier who was crushed to death and said extremely calmly, "Follow me! We can't let him continue to kill!"

Kehalan and others approached cautiously.

Saryl and Derren soon returned, and the two sides came together.

Delen reminded again: "When hunting, the geomaniac bear will press the prey under its body. When it encounters something it doesn't want to eat or there is prey under its body, it will slap it. This is more dangerous!"

Salil said calmly: "I've known it for a long time!"

Delen quickly changed into a long-handled sword. This was the weapon of the previously killed knight Aru. It was sharper and stronger than the iron sword made by Lawrence, and it was obviously not an iron weapon.

While the Earth Dire Bear was busy killing ordinary people in the camp, Delen rushed out, his light body turning into an accelerating blade.

Under the moonlight, the silver blade exuded an elegant and beautiful arc, and slashed violently on the earth rage bear's hind leg socket!

After finishing the chop, the violent earth bear that was about to devour someone quickly bent its injured thick leg in pain and sat down on the spot.

Delenn quickly evacuated the location of the geoblast bear, and the flames of Lathander struck again.

The fur around the Geodrama Bear's ears and eyes burned again, and the severe pain caused it to lose its sense of smell and vision.

But the destructive power of this giant beast is still astonishing at this time.

Just as Lawrence was thinking about how to deal with this terrifying rolling beast, Doug rushed over quickly and barked excitedly at the mountain beside him.

Lawrence looked over and saw that Doug's good friend Pidge was coming over.

Piggy was obviously attracted by Doug's continuous shouting. After coming over and seeing this huge earth-violent bear, Piggy was wary but slowly approached.

Pige, who is 1.5 meters tall and more than two meters long, has grown sharp fangs, and the violent instinct hidden in his genes is gradually awakening.

Soon the wild boar began to rub its front hooves on the ground and lowered its head in an offensive posture.
"let me!"

Delen shouted and quickly jumped on Pige's back, holding a metal sword in both hands, "Pige! Charge!"

Pidge's relationship with everyone else is average, including Delenn.

However, Pige ignored the person on his back at this time, and charged directly and bravely towards the Earth Fury Bear who was lying on the ground and covering his face with his hands to put out the fire.

Everyone and the pig have the same goal!

After getting a mount, Delen became more brave. He aimed the sharp tip of the long-handled broadsword at the Earth Dire Bear's egg sack with both hands, holding the long handle tightly with both hands.

The Earthstorm Bear who was extinguishing the fire felt a chill in his body, and then a heat. The next moment, he was like a frog kicking his legs, pushing forward with both hands on the ground, and his brain and body were feeling so huge that his whole body was weak. of pain.

Unarmored beasts will always encounter this kind of thing. Some organs only exist for reproduction, rather than being more conducive to survival.
