Chapter 128 Bear Fight
Using the javelin as a walking stick, the hunters Ralph and Winters climbed steep slope. Uphill is followed by downhill, and downhill is followed by uphill.

After going over several hills in a row along the animal path, even the old hunter who often walks in the woods is out of breath.

Wolf Town is located at the northern foot of the Golden Peak mountain range. Generally speaking, the further south you go deeper into the woodland, the higher the terrain. But the micro-topography is not all the way uphill, but undulating mountain ridges. Walking in this kind of place is the most tormenting.

Winters was also sweating profusely with a heavy musket. This large-caliber matchlock gun is extremely bulky. It usually needs to be placed on a support rod when using it.

"My lord, the beasts normally walk around the mountain." Ralph gasped, "I'm afraid the beast was frightened by the people returning from the church, so he panicked."

Winters was on his knees trying to calm his breathing, he nodded but didn't speak, he really couldn't say a word right now.

"That beast must be more tired, it can't run very far!" The old hunter leaned on the javelin and set off to continue walking.

Winters followed through gritted teeth.

There are fewer and fewer traces of destruction in the woods, and even Winters can recognize the damage caused by the brutal action when the giant bear just fled into the woods on a rampage.

But the farther you go deeper into the forest, the fewer branches and bushes are broken, and the paw prints get lighter.

It is clear that giant beast's pace is slowing down, the frenzy is subsiding, and it is gradually returning to its original behavior - moving covertly in a rambling gesture.

Tracking became more and more difficult, but the beast couldn't escape the hunter's eyes.

Ralph clenched the giant bear's trail, cutting marks in the tree with his hunting knife as he walked, to give directions to those who came after him.

Through a white oak forest, the giant bear disappears into a small river. Winters was nervous, but after the hunter crossed the stream to check carefully, he took Winters to the upstream direction.

The two walked deep and shallow on the river bank. Seasonal flash floods washed away the soil on both sides of the river, and exposed stones of different sizes and shapes under the soil layer. come out.

The forest on both sides of the river beach seems to be a dark and wide den, with murderous intentions lurking everywhere. The force of the current makes the surface of the rocks on the beach smooth and dangerous.

Ralph, who was walking in front, stumbled suddenly and almost didn't fall. But he struggled hard and stood firm, while another painful growl came out of his throat.

Winters trotted over to Ralph, who saw the old hunter grit his teeth, his nostrils exploded, and his muscles tensed to the point of shivering.

The second lieutenant quickly realized that the tired old hunter couldn't step on the stone under his feet, and his ankle was sprained.

Waste foot, the most common and most troublesome injury. It won't kill you, but it will immobilize you.

The two of them tracked all the way here, relying on the hunter's ability, and Winters knew this.

He can't see where the ominous beast is going now. If Ralph couldn't act, he could only watch the beast disappeared without a trace.

Supporting Ralph's arm, Winters asked ruthlessly, "Can you still move?"

"Yes!" The old hunter gritted his teeth and replied, "Keep chasing."

After the old hunter stood firm, he continued to lift his legs and walked forward, but he swayed again and almost fell.

Winters immediately supported Ralph, and he said helplessly: "Let's rest for a while."

The second lieutenant helped Ralph to sit down slowly and help the old man. The hunter took off his boots. The hunter's right ankle was swollen high, and the skin was bruised, apparently unable to move.

"You stay here and wait for the people behind to come." Winters made up his mind: "I'll go after me alone."

The old hunter shook the head hard, gasping for breath He said, "No, it's not possible alone. When I catch my breath, I'll put a cloth on my ankles, and let's continue chasing."

With that, the old hunter took off a horn from his waist. cup, leaned out and scooped a little water from the river. The cup was already close to his mouth, but the hunter suddenly thought of something. He stopped and gave the water to the second lieutenant with both hands.

Winters laughed angrily: "Whenever he. Mom is still doing this, you can drink it as much as you want. I'll drink it after you finish it."

Ralph didn't hold back any longer, and he scooped up another glass of water and handed it to Winters when he was done. The ensign, who was so thirsty with thirst, drank it and returned the cup to Ralph.

The hunter leaned forward again to scoop the water. As soon as the cup was put into the river, the hunter froze suddenly. He didn't hold one in his hand, and the horn cup was thrown downstream by the rapids.

Winters was about to ask about his origins when he saw Ralph make a silent bracelet. The old hunter looked towards Winters, slowly looked at the head, then reached under the pine trees on the other side of the river.

In the eyes of the old hunter, Winters actually saw a trace of panic.

He looked in the direction the hunter pointed. At first glance, he saw nothing. Next moment, he finds that what he was looking for is under the tree on the other side of the river!

The dark brown fur is a natural protective color in the forest, and the beast lies in the shadow of the tree, like a huge rock that has stood for thousands of years.

The foreman of the logging team is no exaggeration, it is really a bear as big as a house. This giant beast's body is too huge, even if it is just lying on the ground, it is a terrifying huge monster.

Winters didn't wonder why he and Ralph didn't see it at first, since no one would think of a rock that big as an animal. Even though he knew that he was tracking a giant bear, the size of the thing in front of him far exceeded his psychological expectations.

This beast is too big to be called a bear eagle, and no words can describe it accurately, only the Imperial Family giant eagle raised by the oathbreakers can match it.

Can these two muskets really do damage to that thing? The second lieutenant's heart was even a little shaken.

For days, Winters · Montagne has been dreaming of finding this ominous beast. Now he was less than twenty meters from the ominous beast, but the second lieutenant didn't know how to kill the thing.

Fortunately the beast is currently completely motionless and appears to be sleeping hu hu.

What should I do? Fight or flee?
The hunter and the second lieutenant glanced at each other wordlessly.

Winters quietly put the javelin and saber in his hands on the ground, then untied the two muskets from his body and placed them lightly on the ground.

In order to avoid waking up the beast on the other side, Winters moved each step very slowly, without making any sound.

The sound of running water, birds chirping, wind blowing branches and leaves... The louder the background sounds of the forest, the more terrifying the silence felt by the hunter and the second lieutenant.

After dropping all the weapons again, Winters motioned for Ralph to keep quiet. He walked silently to Ralph, grabbing Ralph's leg with one hand and Ralph's arm with the other.

The second lieutenant took a deep breath, his waist and abdominal muscles suddenly exerted force, and he lifted the old hunter up.

Just as the old hunter was being carried on his shoulders, there was a crunch in his bag.

In an instant, the hairs on Winters' back stood up, and Ralph immediately held down his tool bag.

The two were frozen in place, unable to move, and Winters slowly turned his head and looked towards the giant bear. Luck was on their side, and the beast was still lying under the tree and motionless.

The second lieutenant, nodded, carried the old hunter moved towards the direction he came. He walked slowly and steadily. The old hunter clung to his tool bag, not letting it make any more noise.

Winters counted his steps silently, and when he reached five hundred, he found a flat spot to put the old hunter down.

"Your Excellency." Ralph didn't even have time to thank him. He knew what the second lieutenant was thinking, and he lowered his voice to persuade anxiously, "We can't deal with that beast alone, so we must not go over alone. Your Excellency, Let's wait until the people behind us come over."

"What if the thing ran away before the reinforcements came?" Winters chuckled: "Don't worry, I'm not that reckless. Don't let it run away again."

"Then take my foot pegs." The old hunter took out a set of spikes from his tool bag.

The hunter briefly explained how to use it, and Winters took it and turned to leave.

The old hunter was at a loss. He wanted to call back to the second lieutenant Montagne, but he didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only watch the second lieutenant walk away.

Returning to the location just now, Winters retrieved his weapon. The giant bear was still sleeping soundly under the tree, ignorant of what was going on around him.

"It's useless to hit this huge monster on the body, it has to hit the head." Winters in the heart silently estimated: "I'm afraid hitting the head is not enough, it has to hit the vulnerable place like the eye. ."

At this moment, Lieutenant Montagne regretted not taking a cannon into the mountains.

With two guns in hand, Winters found a shallow ford and crossed the river, approaching giant bear silently from the downwind.

Winters wasn't sure about the accuracy of the musket in his hand.

Unlike the two reed guns that Antonio gave him from the Imperial Family gunsmiths, the bores of the two guns are as smooth as mirrors, so you can shoot wherever you want.

But the muskets in the black liquid town arsenal are a bargain, the chambers are not carefully ground. You have to get close enough to guarantee a hit.

The closer you get to the giant bear, the more intuitively Winters can feel its hugeness. This giant beast is like the embodiment of the wilderness, as if it exists to show the power of nature.

The second lieutenant's reason still exists, he never thought of solving such a huge thing by himself.

But he couldn't allow himself to let this ominous beast go. So when he was about fifteen meters away from the giant beast, he found a suitable tree branch and set up a musket.

He didn't dare and couldn't come any closer.

The next step is to wait.

Waiting for reinforcements.

It was so close that Lieutenant Montagne could even hear the giant bear's breathing. At a certain moment, he suddenly had an illusion: the forest seemed to have life too, its pulse rhythm with the giant bear's breathing.

I don't know how long it took, maybe a second? one minute? One quarter of an hour?

The heartbeat of the forest paused for a second.

The giant bear in the shade of the tree wakes up, like a boulder that has been infused with its soul.

Winters' breathing stopped and his heart pounded.

After a small movement of his body, giant bear twitched his nose and turned his head to Winters.

Too close, so close that Winters could see every detail of this giant beast, he saw the unkempt fur, the high back, the pricked ears, the dark nose, the cold Eyes, black circles.

He also saw the red color of the fur around the giant bear's nose, which was the blood of the most recent victim.

A man and a beast looked at each other, and Ensign Montagne, without the slightest hesitation, magically ignited the gunpowder in the barrel.

The silence of the forest was shattered by the sound of the gunshot, and the recoil from the doubled charge nearly pushed the second lieutenant over. At the moment when the gunpowder was blowing out, he saw lead bullets flying past giant bear's cheeks and blasting off at the latter's shoulders.

Too late to chagrin, Winters immediately switched to another gun.

After the smoke came the roar of send cold shivers down one's spine. The fire, loud noise and smoke failed to scare away the ominous beast, and the enraged giant bear roared towards the tiny human being.

So on the second shot, Winters took aim at the giant bear's bloody mouth wide open like a sacrificial bowl.

This gun lived up to the hard work Winters had to bear all the way, and the 35-gram buckshot accurately hit between the giant bear's upper and lower teeth.

The giant bear's head was slapped back by the force of the lead bullet, and blood sprayed from the bear's mouth. The rampant huge monster fell to the ground, screaming in pain.

It was too late to show mercy. Seeing the giant beast fell to the ground, Winters immediately reloaded the musket in his hand. He didn't have time to clear the barrel, so to save time he poured the gunpowder directly into the barrel.

But before he could take out the lead, the giant bear, who had just been hit hard, staggered to his feet again.

"[Vinetta's swear words]!" The second lieutenant made a decisive decision, threw away the musket and climbed up the tree.

A critical moment, Lieutenant Montagne, who has never climbed a tree in his life, stepped on the "foot stick" given by the old hunter, used both hands and feet, and actually climbed the tree - although his posture was abnormal.

As soon as it climbed to a height of two or three meters, the giant bear slammed into the tree trunk. Nearly one person hugged the thick pine wood in the ominous beast like weeds in the gust of wind, almost throwing Winters down.

The pines trembled, but were not knocked down. Stable Winters immediately desperately climbed higher.

Giant bear, who hit the tree, shook his head a few times, and stood up with the tree man. It roared and waved its front paw fan at the human, and the bear claws carried the wind sound and almost hooked the human ankle.

The distance between the man and the bear is so close that Winters can even smell the stench from the giant bear's mouth.

But the humans at this time had already climbed to five or six meters, the giant bear stretched out its front paws in vain, and the people on the tree climbed higher and higher.

Lieutenant Winters ·Montagne now has only two wishes: first, that bears can't climb trees; second, that the trees are strong enough.

The first wish has come true, because giant bear has no intention of climbing trees. The giant bear, finding that the humans in the tree were out of reach, instead began slamming the tree trunk with its back and shoulders.

And the second lieutenant found that the tree he climbed was really not strong enough.

As the giant beast hits again and again, the huddled pine tree is beginning to lean. And there wasn't another big tree within a few meters that Winters could jump over.

Can't let it keep crashing like this -- Winters realizes -- or he'll die.

"[Incoherent vicious swear words]!" Regardless of whether the ominous beast could understand people's words or not, the desperate Winters shouted desperately to distract the giant bear.

However, the ominous beast under the tree ignored it and continued to destroy the tree with brute force.

Winters drew his saber and crawled down the pine branches beside him. The branches fell on the giant bear, and when it seemed painless to this giant beast, it didn't get in the way.

Winters goes all the way down to where the giant bear can almost touch him.

"Come on!" Humans are also roaring like wild beast: "Come and kill me!" Human swoops.

Winters is waiting for this moment.

When the giant bear opened its bloody mouth wide open like a sacrificial bowl and roared at the humans in the trees. The humans on the tree also roared and used all their strength to insert the javelin into the giant bear's mouth.

The human on the tree was fiercely slapped to the ground, but the javelin was stuck deep into the giant bear's throat.

The severe pain almost paralyzed Winters' body, he couldn't even feel which bone he had broken, he lay on the ground, unable to move even a little bit.

The giant bear shook his head desperately, sending scarlet blood everywhere. It tried to pull the javelin out with its front paws, but the barb of the spear head bit into the flesh firmly, and the more it pulled out, the more painful it became.

The ominous beast slammed the upper and lower jaws so hard that the barrel of the gun was directly bitten off, leaving the tip of the gun in the mouth. The giant beast gasped, growled, and twitched his nose toward Winters.

One step, two steps, the sound of heavy footsteps getting closer.

Winters is despairing.

"This situation... Is it still useful to play dead?" Winters · Montagne, who was desperate, suddenly had a black humorous idea.

He smiled wryly and closed his eyes to die.

He could already feel the heat of the ominous beast breath.

"xiu".

A sound of breaking through the air came.

"xiu".

Again.

Two arrows from a one-hundred-eight-pound longbow, one after the other, pierced the giant bear's cheek.

The giant bear was hit with an arrow, and the man stood up, roaring in pain.

"Come on! Beasts! Come at me!"

It was the voice of the old hunter.

I thought this chapter would kill the bear, but it failed.

I posted the foot tie in this chapter, and book lovers who are curious about what it is can open this chapter and take a look.

In addition, a scrotum is a really painful injury. I didn't quite understand it when I read "Love Life" in middle school and saw that a protagonist had a scrotum and was abandoned. Later, when I crossed the field for the first time, I wore a pair of low-waisted hiking shoes, and I understood it instantly. The front and back are uninhabited wilderness, and it is really troublesome once the foot is slashed. So I will wear high-waisted shoes and ankle pads no matter what.
