Chapter 813: Little Help (2/2)
But the bears didn't account for one thing though. The cunning of the Orangutans.
Even though they are not exactly too clever when dealing with their prey and enemies they can be very smart. The Initial beating Sam took in their hands is proof of that.
This time, when the scouts moved, few Orangutans, didn't enter too deep into the zone of ambush, rather they just hid and after a while, another batch of teams entered and they directly jumped into the ambush zones.
The bears once again started tearing them apart.
But this time, they are in for a surprise. The first batch that hid in the forest made their move and ganged up on the bears.
After the initial advantage of surprise which bears had and helped them kill the scouts easily vanished now and they became victims of the same element of surprise.
Sam who is watching it from a far, took out his bow and took out a bunch of arrows. He let Raiju out and made him adapt to a size that is similar to that of a Bear here. And used him for moving around. Along with that, he plucked a bit of fur from Raiju's body and tied to the arrows.
Soon an arrow with lightning energy flashed through the forest and lodged into the head of an orangutan that is about to finish off a bear.
Before the group of beasts could realize what is happening, another arrow came and pierced through the ear of the ape from one side to another.
The Bears became wary and so did the Orangutans they stopped fighting and formed their own groups as they looked around verily, but before they could really do anything, Sam already shot three more arrows and three Orangutans are done for.
When the group once again returned to a state where the Bears are now superior, the Orangutans panicked and were about to flee, but the bears didn't let them. They just took the chance and attacked.
After dealing with this group, Sam moved to another side and helped another bear group.
After a few minutes, all the scouts are dead. This time, no Orangutan managed to escape and give information to their companions.
The Bears which are now free from the threat of their enemies started examining the arrows that helped them.
The first thing they did is take a sniff like any ordinary bear and the silver fur which has a strong scent of Raiju attracted them the most.
Most of the arrows didn't get too bloodied and the fur was intact without any blood on it which preserved its original scent.
And the Bears that got the scent have only one thought in their minds, it is the scent of another predator.
But they are also familiar with the arrows which are not exactly a thing for a beast. They either belonged to the three known creatures for them and they are humans, elves, and centaurs. Of which they had no friendly relationships with any of them.
This caused them to be a bit warier, but they have a bigger problem now.
The Orangutans awaited their companions to come back and when they saw no one coming back, they became angry.
That is around eighty Orangutans dying at the same time.
And the rest of the Orangutans are not exactly happy about it.
The Bears that are part of the ambush are now feeling the effect of injuries. They have been constantly attacking and fighting with the Orangutans for hours and they are not only tired but they are also injured quite significantly.
Sam took out some wine that has significant healing properties and made of fruits that are medicinal and sent the shadow mice to send them out.
Even though Shadow mice don't act that great in forests and in the presence of some predators, Sam is nearby and they are okay.
Shadow mice dropped the wine bottles from the space hade rings they have and returned.
The bottles have a scent of Raiju has Sam deliberately rubbed each of them in Raiju's fur.
Along with the scent of the delicious and healthy fruit wine, they couldn't control themselves and one who is closest to the death has volunteered to take a taste.
And when the wine worked properly they are surprised.
At this moment, there is another batch of bears that came out of the valley to take over the position from the bears here.
The injured bears took the glass bottles and left some for the newly arrived bears and communicated about the arrows with silver fur to them before leaving.
