The long-horned demon crouched on all fours, using the sharp horns on its head to pierce through the body of the Earth Frenzy Bear.
At the same moment, the Earth Frenzy Bear stood up, raised its massive bear claws, and fiercely struck the long-horned demon's spine, which was covered in a row of bony spines. Instantly, the long-horned demon's chest and back were crushed, and dark purple, viscous blood splattered everywhere.
The Earth Frenzy Bear lowered its head to look down at the long-horned demon beneath it. In a state of frenzy, the Earth Frenzy Bear had completely lost its reason. It ignored the horns piercing its body, lowered its head, and bit the long-horned demon's neck. With a powerful tear, the long-horned demon's grotesque head was ripped off, and the two horns that had pierced the Earth Frenzy Bear's body were also pulled out.
The massive body of the long-horned demon fell to the ground, and its head, still attached to a bloody section of vertebrae, was thrown several meters away by the Earth Frenzy Bear.
Two large blood holes on the Earth Frenzy Bear's body gushed out a large amount of blood, dyeing its brown fur red. A brown light circle rose beneath the Earth Frenzy Bear's feet, and soon the bleeding from the wounds stopped. It no longer paid attention to the headless demon's body, which was still twitching, but slowly walked to the side of the two cubs, gently nudging their bodies with its nose.
Unfortunately, the two cubs were already cold. Each time the Earth Frenzy Bear nudged them, they rolled over helplessly.
After a few futile attempts, the mother bear let out another angry roar towards the valley.
...
Just as He Boqiang sensed something was wrong, he saw two iron-gray long-horned demons emerge from the dense forest.
Upon closer inspection, these two demons had no skin, and He Boqiang could clearly see the firm muscles wrapped around their bones, covered only by a thin layer of fascia.
The long-horned demon that had just been decapitated by the Earth Frenzy Bear not only had two long horns on its head but also a layer of seemingly hard purple skin on its body. Sharp bone spines grew at some joints and along the spine, and its overall size was much larger, clearly not of the same level.
However, these two demons were also about three meters tall. They crawled out of the dense forest on all fours, with blood still on their mouths and bodies. Seeing the Earth Frenzy Bear by the stream, their bloodshot eyes revealed ferocity and greed. They extended their long tongues to lick their cheeks. Although these two demons had no horns on their heads, their bony hands had sharp and pointed nails.
Seeing the Earth Frenzy Bear on the riverbank, they probably smelled the blood in the air and became agitated.
The Earth Frenzy Bear, having just lost two cubs, seemed to have discovered a new continent. It finally found a new outlet for its hatred. It kept twisting its shoulders, arching its body slightly, and then, like a steam train, charged at the two demons.
The two demons immediately realized the strength of their opponent and took a few steps back, wanting to retreat.
...
Just as they hesitated, the Earth Frenzy Bear had already charged to the demons' front. Its two massive bear claws, like fans, slapped the two hesitant demons away. It was clear that the two demons were hit with broken bones and torn muscles, struggling to get up on the gravel by the stream.
Just as all the team members slightly relaxed, a faint black mist rose from the bodies of the two demons, and their broken arms quickly recovered. They stood up again from the gravel.
At this moment, three more demons emerged from the dense forest behind the Earth Frenzy Bear. The demons surrounded the Earth Frenzy Bear and slowly approached. The Earth Frenzy Bear realized its retreat was cut off and stood up on its hind legs, its body arching, and its sharp claws ready to strike. It let out a series of deep roars at the demons.
A faint brown light wheel rose beneath the Earth Frenzy Bear's feet, about seven to eight meters in diameter. Many fist-sized pebbles in the outer region of the light wheel, as if attracted by a powerful gravitational force, rolled towards the Earth Frenzy Bear and gathered around it.
When the five demons stepped into the area of the light wheel, they were immediately pulled by an invisible force.
The demons' toes dug deep into the sand and gravel of the riverbank to resist this invisible gravitational force. Unfortunately, the sand and gravel kept rolling, and the demons, with no foothold, were pulled to the Earth Frenzy Bear's side.
Seeing that they could not resist the invisible gravitational force, the demons abandoned their resistance and prepared to attack.
The five demons simultaneously pounced on the Earth Frenzy Bear. The Earth Frenzy Bear could only deal with the three demons in front of it. Two demons were slapped away by the bear claws, and another demon was directly bitten by the Earth Frenzy Bear, its head shattered like a smashed watermelon, instantly splitting into pieces.
The demons that pounced from behind jumped onto the Earth Frenzy Bear's back, piercing its body with their sharp bony hands.
The Earth Frenzy Bear roared and twisted its body, using its massive claws to pull the two demons off its back and tearing off their heads with its mouth. These three demons were finally killed. The other two demons, which had been slapped away by the Earth Frenzy Bear, pounced again, and by this time, the Earth Frenzy Bear had several more wounds, its brown fur stained with blood.
One of the demons took the opportunity to slash the Earth Frenzy Bear's abdomen with its bony hand, and the Earth Frenzy Bear's intestines spilled out. He Boqiang, hiding in the distant bushes, silently sighed, thinking: This Earth Frenzy Bear is finished.
In the end, the Earth Frenzy Bear still managed to defeat the remaining two demons. It then placed its front paws on the ground and staggered back to the stream. It sat by the clear mountain spring, its massive head looking at the two cubs that had long since died. It slowly lay down beside the two cubs, its head resting on a large rock, as if it were sleeping.
...
The warriors of the second squad did not expect that the Earth Frenzy Bear would completely defeat the long-horned demons in the confrontation.
"Is it dead?" Garcia, with red socks, poked his head out of the bushes, his curly hair resembling a bird's nest, with a few oval leaves hanging from it.
The warriors crawled out of the bushes one by one. These bushes were covered with sharp thorns. Although the thorns did not cause serious wounds, being pricked by them was particularly painful.
Augustus crawled out of the bushes, his face excited. "I heard that a single Earth Frenzy Bear's hide is worth at least fifty gold coins! Are we going to get rich?"
The red-socked Garcia, who was more timid, looked at the battlefield by the stream and cautiously said, "Do you think there might be more demons in that forest?"
Augustus, skilled in reconnaissance, stretched his muscles slightly in the forest and said to everyone, "Forget about it, you stay here, I'll go and check!"
He had studied at the初级战士学院 for a few years, specializing in the practical skills of a ranger and had always been the main reconnaissance officer in the second squad.
Seeing Augustus's eager look, Suldak only said, "Be careful, don't be reckless."
After hearing Suldak's instructions, the Tarapa man immediately jumped up and, using the cover of the trees, quickly ran down the slope.
Soon, Augustus's voice faintly came from below: "Captain, the forest below is still relatively safe. There are no other demons in that forest..."
