Chapter 185 Encountering the Flying Bear
On the other side, Sun Weimin and Lao Qin from Taozi, Changbai Mountain, were also heading towards the ridge.
This time, Sun Weimin was smarter. He didn't hire anyone or borrow a dog; instead, he invited Lao Qin to go into the mountains to hunt bears. Lao Qin was fully equipped; even without a hunting rifle, he could catch bears in the bear enclosures using only snares.
Sun Weimin noticed the bear paw print on the ground and gestured with his foot: "This bear paw print is bigger than my shoe print. This big brown bear must weigh over 800 pounds."
Old Qin also noticed the bear paw prints. In this freezing weather, brown bears usually hibernate and don't leave their enclosures. Plus, this is permafrost, so the bear paw prints looked like they'd been there for quite some time. He said, "You didn't manage to clean them last time? You brought me here specifically to clean them today."
Sun Weimin grinned and fawned over Qin Pao, saying, "Don't even mention the family village, in the entire Xing'an Mountains, Qin Pao isn't the only one who can take down Xiongbacang."
The lone wolf ahead howled, and Sun Weimin instinctively trembled. He glared at the wolf with resentment, his fear of wolves undiminished. But since he needed Qin Pao's help this time, he had no choice but to humbly follow him into the mountains.
He was overjoyed at the thought that Li Ju'an had received a false report about the bear market. "By the time Li Ju'an finds the bear market, we'll have already used up three or four of our positions, leaving him with only empty positions."
Suddenly, the sound of dogs barking came from the distant hilltop.
Sun Weimin's expression changed, and he quickly raised his gun and looked through the scope at the distant mountain peak.
Across the hill, he saw five or six fierce hunting dogs suddenly dart out of the forest, followed closely by three hunters. The one in front was none other than Li Ju'an.
Sun Weimin was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth and exclaimed, "Damn! Why is he here too?"
He gave Li Ju'an an empty warehouse location, but little did he expect that Li Ju'an would find his way to this hilltop on his own, still following Sun Hao's instructions to mark it with tree bark. He got closer to the bear warehouse than Sun Weimin did.
Qin Pao spotted Li Ju'an ahead. He circled around, intending to descend the hill, but then heard wolves howling again. He cursed, "This bend is ridiculous! It's here again. There's definitely something wrong with this place. We've been to this area twice already."
Before sunrise, the mountains were shrouded in mist. He led the way, but they encountered this bend twice. He wondered if he should go to town the next day to buy some joss paper, burn it somewhere, and ward off bad luck at the crossroads.
There were weasel footprints on the ground. Qin Pao and Sun Weimin dared not linger and hurried toward the direction in which Li Ju'an had fired.
Boom!
This is the sound of Lu Zhiqiang's ugly revolver firing six shots in quick succession.
The three men didn't fire simultaneously, but took turns firing without pause. Sun Weimin could smell the gunpowder from the neighboring hillside even across the mountain, and couldn't help but curse, "What the hell are they shooting at? Could they have really found Xiongcang?"
The more anxious he became, the more he circled through the saplings, the less likely he was to find his way out. He returned to the bend, pointed at Qin Pao's wolf, and glared at it, yelling, "Damn it! Could it be that you, wolf, are playing tricks on us, deliberately leading us astray?"
……
At this moment, Li Ju'an was leading the hunters on a frantic run toward the direction where the hunting dogs were barking.
Big Tiger has made a new discovery.
This time, it wasn't Tiger who smelled the scent first; it was the slippery Iron Hammer who moved quickly. Suddenly, a dark shadow swept past and bit down on the back of Iron Hammer's neck.
Iron Hammer let out a mournful cry and rolled quickly on the ground, but a large chunk of flesh was still torn off. Big Tiger and his gang of dogs arrived and began fighting the thing.
Seeing his wife being beaten, Big Tiger bared his teeth and lunged at the dark figure's throat, while Little Cannon and White Egg seized the opportunity to harass and grope its anus. The remaining hunting dogs barked loudly in support.
This kind of encouragement boosts morale and scares away wild animals. Ordinary wild beasts would turn and run. But this is a flying bear, a rare sight in the Xing'an Mountains.
Resembling a honey badger in appearance, with a dog-like call, a weasel-like tail, and bear-like paws, this creature is the flying bear, a predator belonging to the mustelid family, also known as the wolverine bear. The flying bear is 1.2 meters long, semi-hibernates, and weighs over 60 kilograms.
Flying Bear, enraged by Little Steel Cannon's tearing and groping of its anus, turned and raised its paw to slap him. Flying Bear possessed immense strength and fighting ability, surpassing even the Honey Badger, and was extremely brutal. Little Steel Cannon was diligently groping its anus when Flying Bear suddenly bit off half its head, causing it to let out a piercing scream.
The tiger leaped onto the flying bear, biting down hard on the back of its neck and slamming its jaws to the ground, tearing the flesh apart as the bear's head snapped back.
The flying bear was bitten until it was a bloody mess, with the skin on the back of its neck torn open, but it wouldn't let go. In order to fight to the death, it would go berserk and could even beat up a lynx.
Flying Bear bit Little Steel Cannon's head and began angrily shaking it. As soon as the fierce hunting dogs around saw their prey frozen in place, they all rushed out of the forest, baring their teeth and barking, pouncing on Flying Bear from all directions and tearing at it wildly.
The advantage of using dogs to surround a place is that there are many dogs.
Fei Xiong is ruthless and doesn't talk much. Even when he's in a losing position, he loves to fight and is willing to risk his life, making him a true "daredevil".
Flying Bear began to fight back, trading blows for blows with a frenzied fighting style. Knowing that Big Tiger was about to pounce, it released Little Steel Cannon from the back of its neck and turned its head to bite Big Tiger's head as well.
The tiger bit its neck, and it bit half of the tiger's head, tearing off a piece of its ear.
The tiger howled in pain, but it was equally unwilling to give in. The two incredibly powerful madmen engaged in a fierce battle on the snow-covered mountainside. Even a lynx would have to show them some respect.
Flying Bear wanted to leap up the tree, but Big Tiger wouldn't give it that chance.
With a bark, Da Hu surrounded the flying bear from all sides, blocking it in front of the red pine tree. As soon as they saw the flying bear pounce on the tree, Hua Er and Bai Danzi would pounce on it, frantically tearing at its hind legs and forcibly pulling the flying bear down from the tree.
After several attempts, Flying Bear's stamina was depleted, and its endurance gradually waned. This creature was incredibly fast and had amazing running ability, but now, even though it was panting heavily, it still stubbornly tried to bite back.
Big Tiger and Flying Bear struggled fiercely, until White Mastiff finally seized an opportunity to bite Flying Bear by the scruff of its neck and slam it to the ground.
A doomed place!
Pigs are difficult to press, and Flying Bears are even more difficult to press due to their large size, weight, and explosive power.
Li Ju'an arrived quickly ahead of time, took out a dagger from his waist, aimed it at Fei Xiong who was still roaring desperately despite being immobilized, and plunged the dagger into the skull below his ear.
The dagger was pulled out, its cold blade still dripping crimson blood.
Lu Zhiqiang arrived, pulled out his Ugly Type 98 revolver, and fired the finishing shot.
Boom!
A barrage of bullets fired, the close-range gunfire making the ears ring for all three. Flying Bear was clearly out of breath.
