Chapter 579 - 579 Bear Bear
579 Bear Bear
Old Wu was taking care of him.
In just a short fifteen minutes, this forest seemed to have encountered a great disaster.
The flowers, plants, and trees were all destroyed beyond recognition.
“Everyone, take precautions. Rest for a while and leave this place. Try to be careful from now on. Don’t alarm these ferocious beasts.”!!
Zhou Heng calmly gave the order. It was impossible for him to go back empty-handed.
Since he could not deal with the big beast, he would start from the small ones.
No one objected to this.
Everyone rested for a while before continuing forward.
After this incident, everyone fell silent and did not make any more noise along the way.
As they went deeper in, they encountered huge bear footprints and the bear claw mark that marked the territory. Even if it was a huge tree trunk that needed two people to hug, the bear claw could easily leave gullies on it.
After leaving the big bear’s territory, there were traces of other creatures. There were also many markings and feces. Avoiding these markings, Zhou Heng chose a place to set up camp. This location could be used for attack and defense. It was not narrow, and there was time and leeway to react if the beast attacked.
There were birds in the forest, so hunting birds was their first choice. Everyone had good Qinggong and were tired of eating dry rations, so they climbed up the trees like snakes, dug out bird nests, and killed birds.
The birds were not small, but compared to the mountainous bear, the birds were really friendly.
Su Xiaolu pierced a big bird with her sword and picked up the eggs in the bird nest. Then, she carried the big bird back to the camp.
The master-disciple trio had already raised the basket and were preparing to roast the bird.
Su Chong walked over. “Seniors, if you don’t mind, I’ll serve you.”
“I don’t mind.”
Gui You said indifferently. None of them had good culinary skills. This bird looked pretty good. He did not want to waste it.
Su Chong’s culinary skills were good. He could not compare to Su Xiaoling, but he was better than Su Xiaolu.
This big bird was very fragrant after being roasted.
Afraid that the fragrance of the meat would attract other ferocious beasts, everyone huddled closely. The bonfire was a big fire, and they even placed stinky buns that even animals did not like outside.
“Xiaolu, we can track that bear tomorrow.”
Su Chong lowered his voice.
Su Xiaolu looked at him and Su Chong explained, “There’s some poison on my sword. I don’t know how much it is. If it’s too heavy, it’s good for us to collect some fur and claws.”
That bear claw was even harder than a sword. If it was used as a weapon, it would be very good. Ordinary swords would not be able to deal with such a ferocious beast, but what if they used the original sharp claws of a ferocious beast?
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Alright, when we search around tomorrow, we’ll go together and let Master follow Third Brother and the others.”
After the bird was roasted, Su Chong handed the two huge bird legs to his two Masters.
He distributed the good pieces to Su Xiaolu.
The bird meat was fragrant and fatty. No one was polite.
These living beings were nourished by spiritual energy to begin with. One bite was like eating a great tonic.
Their stomachs were full, and a warm current warmed their limbs and bones, making them feel very comfortable.
The bird eggs were also very fragrant after being roasted.
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone walked around the surroundings. It was dark, so everyone gathered together to rest.
At night, the forest was very quiet. Even if the beasts here hunted, there was not much movement.
Everyone was practicing their breathing techniques.
Old Wu, who was always shouting, stopped shouting. After seeing the huge bear, he became more diligent.
Time was not up to people. Even if he was old, he had no choice but to be diligent. Even ants strived to live. It was better to live than to die. These terrifying giant beasts would enter the world at any time. Only when they were stronger could they run faster.
There was no need to mention the others. They wished they could ascend overnight.
At dawn, they roasted and ate the leftover bird meat. Su Xiaolu and Gui You left the team together. Old Wu followed Liu Zijin and brought someone to explore the surroundings.
Su Chong quietly left the team to meet Su Xiaolu and Gui You.

When they returned to the place where the battle happened the day before yesterday, the bloodstains had already dried up, but the traces of the things that the big bear had destroyed were obvious. There was no way to recover.
The three of them followed the trail of blood.
Su Xiaolu took out the medicine bottle, poured out three pills, and distributed them to Su Chong and Gui You. She said, “Crush this and apply it to your body. It can hide our scent.”
Beasts had a good sense of smell. They could easily smell unusual smells.
If it was an ordinary beast, then this medicine could control a large group. Now, everyone had one. Everything was slowly tested. The three of them were good at martial arts. Even if they faced it head-on, it would not be a problem for them to escape.
The big bear was seriously injured and had suffered many bumps along the way. It had destroyed many things, so it was not difficult to find it.
In order to prevent a head-on confrontation, Su Xiaolu lowered her voice and said, “Up the tree.”
She released her five senses. The stench that belonged to the giant bear was extremely pungent. This piece of land should be the home of the giant bear. They were not far away.
They climbed up the tree and slowly pushed forward.
After another half an hour, Su Xiaolu and the others saw a huge figure.
The giant bear didn’t move. They didn’t know if it was asleep or dead.
Su Xiaolu observed for a while and realized that it was dead.
The three of them approached and reached the tree beside the giant bear. Looking down from above, the giant bear did not move. Its large head was very swollen. Its entire body was covered in blood and some grayish-white things. They did not know what they were.
Gui You threw a rock down, but there was no movement.
The three of them went down the tree to the bear’s side and pondered.
“Can poison kill it?”
Gui You was deep in thought and felt a little surprised. However, it was normal when he thought about it. Giant beasts were huge, but their intelligence was limited. Humans were weak, but they were smart. If they could not fight head-on, they would come back in a roundabout manner. Beast brains did not have so many twists and turns.
Each claw of the bear paw was as long as a ten-inch dagger and it was sharp.
“Looks like a good, hardworking bear.”
There was actually some praise in Gui You’s calm tone.
Su Chong thought of a way to cut it open, and Gui You gave him a small dagger. “Use this and return it to me. I only have this one. I can’t find such materials anymore.”
Su Chong nodded. This dagger was not heavy, but he had never seen it before. Gui You treasured it so much, so it must be extraordinary.
It was easy to cut with the dagger.
Su Xiaolu looked at the suspicious grayish-white thing that was like a pig’s belly. She checked the bear’s stomach.
“This looks like a female bear. This thing looks like its uterus.”
Su Xiaolu muttered in confusion. She just found it strange. If it was the uterus, this uterus seemed to be too big and thick.
“It’s not impossible. After all, it’s so big. It looks like it didn’t just die of poisoning. It might have died in childbirth.”
Gui You also came over to take a look. It was difficult to give birth. It was a probability that everything in the world could not escape this. Even the huge bear that was as big as a mountain was no exception.
If she happened to give birth and her uterus fell out, it would not be strange for her to die.
