Chapter 54 - The Giant Leicester Silverback Bear (2/2)

However, none of all those mentioned were why the giant Leicester silverback bear was feared. It was feared because of its intellect and brutality.

The reason why the bear was so infamous in Safety Sector No. 17 was that its species once wiped out a Drifter’s camp and the clan that had perished was named the Leicesters.

It was not just any Drifter’s camp. The base consisted of thousands of Drifters.

The most important thing was that the grown men and women in the Leceister camp were mostly veteran hunters.

They were decently armed with well-made weapons. Albeit the strongest of them being incomparable to the Purple Moon Warriors, they were definitely a match for the most elite soldiers of the sector.

The Leicester clan once planned to seek refuge under the sector, but when they got nearer to the forest of the Secondary Safety Zone, they vanished.

The tragedy was caused by two giant Leicester silverback bears. Rumor had it that no one from the camp escaped alive.

Safety Sector No. 17 was shocked with fury since they also looked up highly to the Drifters who had amazing capabilities.

So, two squads of elite soldiers were sent to hunt down the silverback bears.

In the end, only 40 out of the hundred-men squad came back alive. The mission was self-explanatory; they failed.

Ultimately, the Purple Moon Warriors were sent to kill the two silverback bears.

The hunting process might probably be the most mysterious one to date. Many details were not revealed by the higher-ranks of the sector, but when the people knew that the culprits who wiped out an entire Drifter camp were not mutated beasts but merely king beasts, they clamored in panic.

Therefore, a new name was added to the silverback bear that appeared before the eyes of the sector— the giant Leicester silverback bear.

It was a king beast that broke some of the stereotypes that people had in their minds such as wild beasts being weaker than mutated beasts, and mutated beasts being weaker than vicious beasts.

Everything had an exception, did it not?

This was also the reason why the crowd was so interested in this match.

After all, everyone wanted to have a look at how different this king beast was and how bewitchingly powerful it could become.

Tang Ling knew all about the giant Leicester silverback bear. As a matter of fact, the information in his mind was not of much use.

If the bear was able to rely on its intellect and cold-blooded brutality to wipe out a powerful Drifter camp, its biggest weapon would no longer be its beastly body and its traits.

So, what really happened? Unfortunately, no one could provide an answer.

Tang Ling walked deeper into the cage and looked at the bear quietly.

The bear that was shrouded in a horrifying color was indeed different from the other wild beasts.

It did not seem interested in Tang Ling. Instead, it lazily lay down in a corner of the cage. Its eyes were half-shut at the people in the square, but a pondering gleam flashed over its irises.

If this continued, surviving for ten minutes was not difficult. Even Tang Ling himself felt that it was a little strange.

“I really don’t know whether he is lucky or unlucky.” Orston crossed his arms and simply commented. In fact, he was also very concerned. If he were in Tang Ling’s position, he did not even have absolute confidence to beat the giant Leicester silverback bear.

On the other hand, Yu’s eyes gleamed in excitement, which was rare. His gaze was scanning the lazy bear relentlessly.

It seemed like the bear aroused the proud Yu’s passion for battle.

The instructor was not displeased with the strange situation. He gestured with his finger, and a warrior brought a chair for him to sit in front of the cage.

He sat down less than ten meters away from the bear. “How lovely freedom is! If you admire freedom, you get to work for it. At least, look at the crowd. They don’t want to watch something so boring. At the same time, they don’t hope for someone to exploit a loophole.”
