Chapter 17 - 17 Chapter 16 Desperate Bear_1 (2/2)
This time, Qin Niu had a new trick up his sleeve—he would greet the beast’s eyes with mountain mud and pebbles.
He wanted this creature to know that humans weren’t to be trifled with before its death.
It roared and charged once more, its gaping maw wide open, intent on tearing the human who dared to injure it into pieces.
“Heh heh, you think you can play for keeps with that little frame?”
Seeing the bear blinded by hatred and desperation, Qin Niu couldn’t help but laugh.
When it closed the distance to within two meters, he flung the handful of dirt he held in his hand ‘over there’.
“Roar!”
Little did the Black Bear know that this human, Old Six, was so cunning!
It was bad enough to be ambushed with the recoil of branches, but now even worse to have a fistful of hidden weapons thrown at it. Instinctively, it closed its eyes to protect them from being injured.
Bang!
Another chop.
The only remaining left front leg throbbed with piercing agony, and the Black Bear even felt like it wanted to die.
This despicable human had ambushed it again.
Both its front legs were now rendered useless by this human.
If anyone later says that Black Bears are crafty, it would be at odds with them.
Without its front legs, survival in the jungle had become very difficult. It would be unable to hunt for prey.
In fact, Qin Niu wouldn’t have let it live on anyway.
“Wuu wuu~!”
With a deep and mournful roar, it stood on its hind legs and charged at Qin Niu in a last-ditch effort.
Its chest hung two severed front legs, only connected by a bit of skin and flesh.
As it advanced, the two front legs swung like two soy sauce bottles hanging from its chest.
The searing pain drove it, with the single thought of tearing apart the human to relieve its hatred.
Qin Niu licked his lips; the fight with the Black Bear made him feel a significant enhancement in his strength.
He used to struggle to kill an old wolf, but now, taking down a Black Bear that was much stronger than a wolf was… surprisingly easy.
The Black Bear, having stood on its hind legs, had no other way to attack except with its gaping mouth after losing its front legs.
“Little guy!”
Qin Niu crouched and grabbed another handful of dirt.
The Black Bear, seeing this, felt both hate and fear.
This despicable human’s trick of using dirt as a hidden weapon was just too dirty.
It had no choice but to twist its head and close its eyes, unable to defend itself in any other way.
The Black Bear was truly frightened of the human’s cunning, to the point it turned and ran.
If it couldn’t win, fleeing was the best option.
It crashed through the underbrush, breaking even trees as thick as a forearm, leaving them to fall to the sides.
Like a bulldozer, it forced its way through and carved a path.
Not seeking revenge anymore?
Qin Niu was somewhat taken aback.
Just when he was about to win decisively, how could he let it escape?
Without any hesitation, he immediately gave chase.
Although it was down to two legs, its fleeing speed was still astonishingly fast.
Seeing which direction the beast was headed, it was clear it wanted to flee back to the deep mountains.
He couldn’t let it have its way.
The deep mountains were extremely dangerous; Qin Niu would have to give up pursuit when the time came. Moreover, with the bear now wounded, the smell of blood could attract other ferocious beasts.
He had to make a decision right away.
He accelerated, catching up to the Black Bear from behind, and aimed a chop at its hind leg.
The Black Bear, sensing danger, immediately turned to defend and counterattack.
Qin Niu noticed its two front legs still gushing fresh blood.
What a pity, it was a top-tier tonic.
The strength of a bear was especially great.
Its blood should far surpass Wolf Blood in enhancing someone at the Mortal Realm.
“Roar!”
It lunged at Qin Niu with a fierce bite.
A cornered rabbit will even bite; not to mention a blinded bear, that in its desperation, even a tiger would choose to steer clear.
Bang!
The Black Bear’s massive body, lacking the support of its front legs, collapsed to the ground after its lunge at Qin Niu fell short.
Scrambling with its sharp bear snout to prop up its body,
Qin Niu didn’t wait for it to get up; he moved to its side and aimed another chop at one of its hind legs.
Its reaction was lightning-fast.
It immediately turned to bite at him, but Qin Niu dodged.
Still grasping a handful of dirt, he threw it once again at the bear’s eyes.
“Wuu~!”
The bear’s mournful and rage-filled low growl echoed through the mountains.
What met it was a merciless chop from the human Old Six.
Bang!
One of its powerful hind legs was severed.
With only one leg left, it had completely lost its ability to run away, let alone stand upright.
Qin Niu was in no hurry to end its life.
Now that the bear was like meat on a chopping board, he could cut it as he pleased; there was no need to be overly eager. He had to prevent any last desperate strike from it.
After toying with it like a cat with a mouse for a while and feeling that the time was ripe, he found the right moment to swing his blade fiercely towards its neck.
He aimed for a killing blow.
Phew!
This chop surprisingly produced the effect of a Critical Chop.
It couldn’t even let out a cry of agony before its enormous bear head was completely severed.
This was the power of a Slash Martial Skill when it produced a Critical Chop.
It was truly terrifying.
With just one chop, he killed a Black Bear so immense that killing an enemy must be as simple as chopping a turnip.
Qin Niu, seeing a large flow of Bear Blood, did not stand on ceremony; he crouched down quickly, greedily gulping down the spouting blood.
His belly quickly swelled with fullness.
There was simply too much Bear Blood.
Unable to drink any more, he could only watch as it spilled onto the ground, a regretful waste.
Seeing all that blood go to waste made Qin Niu feel heartache; it was such a shame.
As the Bear Blood flowed down his throat, he felt as if there were a ball of Rupture flame burning vigorously within his upper abdomen.
The effect of Bear Blood was far stronger than that of Wolf Blood.
