Chapter 59

"Hey, guys, did you hear that roar just now? It seems we've encountered something big!" In the five-man squad, a man with a shaved head whispered after hearing the roar.

"In the Bear Wolf Mountain, ironclad wolves always move in groups, and their howls are never solitary. Apart from ironclad wolves, the only creature that can produce such a powerful roar in Bear Wolf Mountain is the mad bear!" Another man said with a smile.

At this moment, a man carrying a sniper rifle suddenly spoke up, "What do you think, guys? Should we take a shot at it?"

"Are you crazy? That's a mad bear! It could crush us with one swipe!" Tiehou shouted in shock upon hearing his words.

Due to their powerful bodies, mutant beasts are often much stronger than human warriors of the same rank. For example, a second-rank ironclad wolf, when facing a second-rank human warrior, even with a sharp weapon like a silver bone knife, the human warrior is more likely to die.

Unless the human is an evolved individual with special abilities or a warrior who has reached the peak of their strength, it's almost impossible to kill a mutant beast or a zombie of the same rank alone.

Powerful mutant beasts like the mad bear are among the best of the third-rank mutant beasts. Such a powerful individual, even a hunting squad, would face certain death if they encountered a mad bear without proper preparation!

Therefore, when the sniper in the team spoke, Tiehou was so shocked. Even though their team had four third-rank human warriors, against a mad bear, they might be killed with just one swipe, as humans do not have the robust physique of mutant beasts.

"Ha, Tiehou, you're too timid. Normally, we would indeed be at a disadvantage against a mad bear, but this time, don't forget that Yixiu Team provided us with a potent nerve anesthetic to capture Bu Fan. With it, can we not succeed against a mad bear?" The sniper, Hancheng, said calmly.

And Yixiu Team is Xiu Ge's team!

"But, that anesthetic is for capturing Bu Fan. How can we use it privately!" Tiehou said hesitantly, as their mission was to help Yixiu Team capture Bu Fan.

"Hmph, he's just a zero-rank warrior. Even without the anesthetic, can he cause trouble? Besides, we have our people all around. Just release a signal flare, and the captain will be here within half an hour. If we really find Bu Fan, can he escape? This anesthetic, we might as well use it!"

"Furthermore, how lucky would we have to be to catch Bu Fan among so many people? And even if we catch him, the rewards from Yixiu Team might not even reach us. But if we can kill a mad bear now, the benefits we get will be real!" Hancheng said solemnly, quickly convincing the others.

"Right, what Old Han said makes sense. Tiehou, go ahead and scout. Let's see if we can take a shot at it. If we really get a mad bear, it won't be a wasted trip!" The bald man, who was the team leader and the strongest, said, clenching his fist.

Since the leader had spoken, Tiehou had no choice but to comply. Honestly, Tiehou also thought Hancheng's words made sense, but he had a strange feeling, especially about Bu Fan. If Bu Fan was really just a zero-rank warrior, how could he make the gray wolf retreat, and why would he dare come to Bear Wolf Mountain?

But he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong. According to Xiu Ge's introduction, this guy had an average background, with only a good sister to his name!

Shaking his head to clear his mind, Tiehou decided not to think about it anymore. Bu Fan's affairs were none of his business; he only wanted the woman by Bu Fan's side!

On the other side, Bu Fan was hiding on a tall tree in the distance, holding his breath and observing the open area with a telescope.

Inside his body, the Cloud Traveling Technique was running rapidly, restoring his expended energy!

Before, he hadn't realized it, but after coming out, Bu Fan found that even the foundational martial arts of Bu Family Village had extraordinary effects outside.

The Cloud Traveling Technique had an excellent effect on physical recovery. Running it after a battle could quickly restore one's fatigue. It was a very good auxiliary technique.

On the contrary, the Great Profound Scripture's internal energy, when combined with techniques during battle, could unleash powerful destructive power. For example, the "Ten Steps to Kill One Man" from the Great Profound Scripture's sword techniques was truly a lethal technique with extraordinary power.

However, this martial art required a lot of internal energy, and in terms of recovery, it was not as good as the Cloud Traveling Technique.

Boom! Boom!

A massive body crushed countless small plants and strode into the battlefield Bu Fan had chosen. It was a huge brown bear.

This brown bear, overall, still retained the appearance of Earth's bears, but it had some mysterious protrusions on its head and limbs.

Bu Fan knew that these protrusions were the mad bear's threat. When the mad bear fought, these protrusions would slowly combine, forming a thick layer of keratin with strong defensive capabilities.

It was like giving the mad bear a helmet and gloves, combining with its massive strength and body, making it extremely lethal.

In terms of defense, the mad bear's fur already had excellent defensive capabilities and great elasticity. Coupled with its thick fat, it could easily absorb some of the impact force, making it difficult for ordinary sniper bullets to penetrate its body.

Seeing the fresh, warm corpses on the ground, the mad bear roared again and walked forward, tearing into the wolf corpses with large bites.

"Yes, that's right, eat to your heart's content, slowly, so that by the time you're done, Grandpa Bu Fan will be well-rested and ready to take you down!" Bu Fan said softly, holding a high-powered telescope and watching the mad bear's actions through the dense forest branches.

Just as he was about to put away the telescope, a familiar figure caught his eye!

"Who is he?" Bu Fan said in confusion, finding the figure again with the telescope.

The figure that appeared in his field of vision was none other than the lean man who had provoked the gray wolf earlier, Tiehou!
