Chapter 211 The Bear

The sudden gunfire put the entire team on edge.

Luo Zixi, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, not taking it to heart at all. No matter what danger she encountered, she had a way to deal with it.

Moreover, judging from the frequency of the gunshots, it didn't sound like there was any fighting. Rather, it seemed like they were chasing prey and using the gunshots as a deterrent.

However, listening to the rhythmic and continuous gunshots, everyone had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Then they heard a rumbling sound all around them, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Damn it, which group is hunting here? Looks like a big one is coming!"

"That's too reckless! So many gunshots must have scared away all the wild animals in the jungle. How can we even hunt now?"

"Is it possible that we were scared away by all the wild animals we encountered earlier?"

In fact, in that short time, they had caught quite a few more prey. Moreover, because Luo Zixi was using a compound crossbow, it was almost completely silent.

In addition, their teamwork was quite good, which greatly increased their hunting success.

The captain was just about to discuss with Luo Zixi how to divide the prey when gunshots rang out one after another.

Moreover, the rumbling sound seemed to be getting closer and closer!

"Oh dear, that big guy is running this way!"

"What should we do? Should we do it or not?"

"Isn't that obvious? If we can't kill that big guy, this beast will just overrun us!"

"I think it's most likely a wild boar. With such a commotion, the wild boar must be quite large..."

Everyone couldn't help but look at Luo Zixi, after all, wild boars are truly a dominant force in the jungle.

Because these wild boars spend all day rolling around in the mountains and fields, their bodies are covered in mud. Over time, this mud has solidified on their skin, forming a thick layer of armor.

Sometimes even a hunting rifle might not be able to penetrate it; it's really tough and strong, capable of sending a person flying several meters.

Especially those large wild boars, which are extremely wild and cannot be tamed by ordinary people.

Moreover, the hunting rifles everyone has might not be able to do much damage to the wild boar; it would probably take many guns firing at the same time to kill it.

Basically, it takes a long time just to remove the shrapnel from the body of a wild boar killed in this way.

It's a thankless task.

The key point is that this can easily lead to problems, and it's even possible for someone to die if not handled carefully.

Therefore, when people see wild boars, they will only take action if they are absolutely certain of their success, or even if they have some large hunting traps as an aid.

After all, hunting wild boars is extremely dangerous.

Moreover, the weapons of today are not as advanced as those of later generations; they are still somewhat crude. Just look how envious they are of Luo Zixi's compound crossbow.

Hunting rifles may look powerful, but they are still not very effective against a behemoth like a wild boar.

Koro Zixi's crossbow bolts are different. They are powerful and concentrated. If they hit a vital spot, they can probably take down a wild boar in one shot.

That's why everyone's attention is now focused on Luo Zixi.

Luo Zixi shrugged and gave a meaningful smile:

"Captain, if it really is a wild boar, I'll take responsibility for killing it, but I'll get half of the wild boar meat, plus three times the work points!"

Actually, whether Luo Zixi wanted these things or not wouldn't have much impact on her. However, she never helped for nothing. She would never give up the benefits she deserved. Besides, these things were rightfully hers, so why shouldn't she take them?

Most importantly, she wanted to let these people know that asking her for help wasn't something that could be done casually.

Without much hesitation, the captain gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, deal!"

Luo Zixi smiled and nodded. The compound crossbow was already loaded and full of bolts, just waiting for the big guy to appear.

As it turned out, what emerged from that thunderous roar wasn't a wild boar at all...

Instead, it was a black bear with a row of white fur in a V-shape on its chest.

The bear came rumbling in front of the group, clearly startled.

Upon seeing so many people, the massive creature actually came to a stop.

However, it was enormous, like a small mountain! This startled everyone.

Some people couldn't resist picking up their hunting rifles and aiming them at the bears.

In the jungle of the novel, there are two creatures that should not be messed with: one is the wild boar, and the other is the bear.

That's no joke. If you were to encounter this treasure alone, you'd basically be done for.

One slap from someone can turn them into mincemeat.

And never believe the stories you heard as a child, that if you encounter a bear, you should either climb a tree or play dead.

Luo Zixi knew very well that, apart from the largest brown bear, most other bears were very good at climbing trees, even more agile than many people, and very fast. Humans could basically not climb them.

Playing dead is out of the question. If a bear sees you fall, it'll think you just died and the meat is still fresh. If you actually play dead, then you'll be truly dead.

Do not even think about turning around and running away. Doing so will send a signal that the bear knows you are afraid of it, which will trigger its hunting instinct and make it treat you as prey.

Humans cannot outrun bears, because bears can reach speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour, which is impossible for humans to achieve.

How can two legs outrun four legs?

What if you encounter a bear in the wild?

Actually, the solution is very simple: just don't go out into the wild alone and risk your life.

If you absolutely have to encounter this situation, the first thing to do is overcome your fear and not run away immediately. Try to bend down so that the bear knows you pose no threat to it.

Then slowly take off your clothes. If the bear walks towards you, it will stop and sniff your clothes, giving you time to slowly back away.

Once you are far away from the bear, quickly evacuate.

Of course, if the bear just charges at you without regard for anything else, there is still a chance to escape. Try to find something handy and attack the bear's nose, which is its weak point. Just pray and you'll get lucky and have a chance to escape...

As for whether it will succeed, that depends on fate.

Of course, with so many of Luo Zixi and the others now, the bear wouldn't come after them unless it was stupid.

Because that bear was clearly terrified of being beaten, which is why it ran this way.

However, Luo Zixi wouldn't give it a chance to escape. She knew exactly where the bear's weakness was, and with a crossbow bolt, she hit the bear's nose directly.

The bear, in pain, naturally unleashed an unprecedented ferocity, letting out a roar that shook the mountains and forests!

However, before he could finish his roar, the bear collapsed...
