I, the sycamore tree demon, have met a phoenix!

And this also led to the hunters often not catching their prey, and getting injured all over their bodies in fear.

Even after a long time, seven people have already been buried in the bear's mouth.

Even if there were some who escaped by chance, they basically became in a state of missing arms and legs. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to their village of [-] people.

That's why they organized this operation, so that the most powerful hunters in the village joined hands and came directly to the village.

Zixi came to hunt the beast.

At this moment, the confrontation between man and bear has already begun.

"Be careful!!"

In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted.

In the next second, there was a crisp crackling sound, and a big tree next to it suddenly fell down, hitting the place where the hunters were standing.

"Get out of the way!"

Fortunately, although most of these hunters are not young, they are still very agile. They all avoided the tree trunks and branches that hit them from both sides, and no one was injured or crushed.

however……

Oops!

Liu Hu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought of something, but before he could open his mouth, a heart-piercing scream suddenly sounded.

"what----!"

"The third child!!"

"Over here! Quick! Shoot the arrow!"

For a while, the scene became chaotic.

The fallen tree completely disrupted their original formation, and these hunters usually act alone, and they are not good at cooperating with each other at all.

So after the tree fell, they didn't gather together again, but subconsciously took their spears, bows and arrows, and shot at the black bear that picked up a man and ran away.

Fortunately, these hunters' archery skills are very good. In just one round of shooting, five or six arrows shot into the black bear's flesh, causing it to feel pain, and let go of the bloody third Chen.

But before they were happy, there was another scream from behind.

Everyone quickly turned their heads to look, but saw another black bear biting the shoulder of the boss of the Li family.

The size of this end is obviously a whole circle larger than the one just now, and the height of standing up is at least more than two people. Obviously, it is the one that knocked down the tree just now.

……

At the same time, about 200 meters away from them, a big tree whose top could not be seen was standing quietly in the scorching sun.

Chapter 3: The Dryad in the Middle of the Clearing

"System, did some voice come over just now..."

Under the bright sunshine, Lin Wu felt the breeze blowing by, and boredly perceived the scenery around him that he had seen countless times.

At this time, he has grown from a small tree seed buried in the soil to a large tree with a height of nearly 30 meters and a diameter at breast height of more than 1.3 meters.

It has to be said that the systematic conditioning of his body has really achieved the ultimate.

Whether it is the amount of nutrients absorbed or the rate of digestion of nutrients, the system can make adjustments almost every day according to the actual situation. While ensuring the fastest growth of Lin Wu, it also ensures that it will not cause any negative effects on his body. Influence.

This allowed Lin Wu to grow a full circle larger than the surrounding trees that were 50, [-] or even older in just ten years.

And not only in terms of growth, even Lin Wu's ability to observe the outside world now is realized by borrowing the computing power of the system.

The principle is that the system first uses its demon power to detect the surroundings like a bat uses ultrasonic waves, and then processes the data information returned from the detection, and finally presents the processed picture in front of him in the current way.

In short, it is to let the system see the outside world, and then go to see what the system sees.

Although the picture that can be seen is still very simple, it is much better than the darkness with nothing.

[There is indeed an unknown sound detected in the east of the host. According to the wavelength and frequency of the sound, it is probably produced when a tree in the forest fell to the ground]

The system's response is still cold with a little mechanization, and it hasn't changed in the past ten years.

And after hearing what it said, Lin Wu, who was full of boredom, finally became a little interested.

"Why did the tree fall all of a sudden?"

You must know that in the three years after he acquired the ability to observe, the scene around him has basically not changed. The only things he can see every day are trees, grass, mushrooms and a series of plants, as well as birds, insects, mice and so on. column animals.

Apart from these, the only thing that can see the biggest change is the change of weather and seasons, and the rest can basically be described as unchanged.

And the situation like the current loud noise from a distance has never happened once in three years. Now that there is no need to practice demon power control anymore, Lin Wu, who has basically nothing to do every day, will naturally respond to this Change arises in interest.

[Excluding a series of factors such as landslides caused by weather and earthquakes and ground fissures, it is probably due to the interference of other external forces]

[For example... the bear that the host sensed last time, with its size, knocking down trees below 15 meters is not a big problem]

"Is that bear..."

Lin Wu recalled a little.

He sensed the existence of the bear a year ago, because the other party also has demon power in his body, and bears are very rare in this forest, so he still remembers the time when the bear appeared. scene.

At that time, that guy didn't know why, so he only dared to hide far away behind a tree, carefully exposed his head, and looked towards Lin Wu's side, and then he never came to Lin Wu's side again.

In this regard, the systematic analysis is that the bear was intimidated by the strong monster power in Lin Wu's body, so it didn't dare to approach it casually.

As for whether the real reason is like this, Lin Wu doesn't know.

but……

"System, why did the bear push down the tree?"

[Insufficient information available to analyze]

[It is also possible that the other party climbed onto a tree when digging out the beehive, and crushed the tree with his body weight]

"... Will this happen again?" Lin Wu was slightly taken aback.

He knew that bears could climb trees, but he had never heard of bears bringing down whole trees or something.

And the system seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and gave a hint in a flat voice.

[Of course not under normal circumstances, but the size of that bear is far beyond the host's cognition of ordinary bears, and its weight also starts in tons. It is not surprising that it crushes trees]

"...It seems to be the same." Lin Wu was stunned.

The size of that bear is indeed much larger than what I thought, but because I am now taller, I subconsciously ignore this factor...

Ok?

Only halfway through his thoughts, he suddenly felt several figures running into his range of perception.

"System, those shouldn't be..."

[They are human beings. The morphological characteristics of these creatures are in line with human beings, so they are probably human beings]

The system responds immediately.

"Sure enough!"

Lin Wu's eyes widened suddenly in his heart. In the ten years since he came to this world, it was the first time he saw a human being living in this world.

Originally, he thought that he would have to wait until he took the initiative to go out and look for people in this world, but he didn't expect that they would come to him on their own initiative now...

running?

run?

"What's the situation?" Lin Wu frowned, realizing that something was wrong.

【Hmm... Judging by the gestures, language and demeanor, they are probably running for their lives】

"Escape?"

Lin Wu frowned.

Immediately afterwards, a huge figure that rushed into his range of perception made him understand it all at once.

"Uh, I dare say they were chased by that bear, no wonder there was such a big commotion just now..."

"%#￥%￥#*&!"

Perhaps because they also saw the giant bear that was chasing after them, after these humans ran to Lin Wu's side, one of them, who seemed to be in his sixties, stopped panting and turned towards the others. I don't know what to shout.

Then the others stopped one after another and looked at the old man with sweat profusely.

"No, I can't run away. If I run any further, I will be caught up by those beasts one by one, and they will all die in the woods!"

The old man, the old hunter Liu Hu gritted his teeth and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to the few remaining people in front of him with an ugly expression.

And the few people who were also hunters naturally understood what he meant immediately after hearing this.

They were all old, and they didn't have the speed and stamina to race against the bear. Moreover, it was so far away from the village. There was more than one bear, and it was basically meaningless to run scattered.

"Then what are we going to do?!"

Another old man, whose face was flushed from running, propped his knees up and asked.

"Do you still need to ask? Break its legs first!"

Liu Hu replied loudly, then clenched the spear in his hand, and ran behind the big tree next to him.

His idea was simple.

Since this bear can't run, why not stop and fight while everyone is still there, and create more wounds on the beast's legs, so that the beast can't catch up to them? ?

Chapter 4: Big trees in open spaces

It's just that I thought so, but when they raised their guns and arrows, huddled behind the tree and turned around to look back, they saw a scene that they didn't expect at all.

The bear didn't come after him.

No, to be precise, it should have been chasing after it, but for some reason it stopped at a place ten meters away from them, and just wandered around there, glaring at them fiercely.

After the two sides confronted each other for a while, a young man among them couldn't help but ask first, "What...is it doing?"

"Shut up! Don't let up!"

Liu Hu shouted immediately, shrinking the young man's neck in fright.

The ghost knows what this beast is doing, but in any case, until this crisis is over, they must not relax their vigilance in the slightest.

And if it's this distance...

Liu Hu narrowed his eyes slowly, calculated in his mind, and then waved his hand directly.

"Let the arrows! Hurry up!!"

As soon as the words fell, several wooden arrows were shot out in an instant amidst the sound of bowstrings. Unfortunately, the accuracy was not very good, and all of them were shot on the surrounding tree trunks and the ground.

Seeing this, the giant bear immediately bared its fangs, erected its incomparably tall body, and waved its front paws, as if it would rush towards them at any moment.

However, unlike what Liu Hu and the others had imagined, even though it had exposed its fangs to them, the giant bear did not immediately rush over like before, but kept lying in the distance and roaring, as if... …

As if he was afraid of something?

Looking at the other party's expression and posture, this idea suddenly popped up in Liu Hu's mind, and he couldn't help being slightly stunned.

And it was at this time that he finally noticed the abnormality that he hadn't noticed before.

Isn't this place a little too empty?

Liu Hu turned his head slightly and looked around, and found that except for the big tree they used to cover themselves, there was basically a circular open space around them, and other trees grew outside this open space.

Even for him who is very familiar with this forest, this is the first time he has seen such a scene.

"Roar------!!"

At this time, the roar of the bear sounded again, and when Liu Hu looked at it again, he found that the giant bear turned around, glared at them unwillingly, and then slowly left towards the woods behind.

Until its back completely disappeared into the shadows, everyone lowered their bows and spears in a daze, and then looked at each other in confusion.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Liu Hu, who had the most knowledge.

"Master Tiger, what's going on? Did this beast just get away like this?"

But Liu Hu didn't answer them, but frowned in silence, looking at the big tree in front of him that he had never seen before.

If it is said that they are surrounded by a circular open space, then the location where this tree grows is exactly in the center of this circular open space.
