The girl nodded frantically, saying hurriedly, "Thank you for saving me, I will definitely repay you, no matter how much money it takes!"
Staggering back to the crowd, she was terrified, her soul nearly jumping out of her body.
Her name was Zhang Ruoxue, coming from the Magic Capital, she specifically ventured into this remote mountain forest in search of medicinal herbs to treat her grandfather’s illness.
Having heard that Silver Snow Grass grew outside of Xiaosang Village in Jiang County, she had made the long journey here, only to face this unexpected incident just as she was about to accomplish her mission.
Fortunately, her life was temporarily saved.
But soon, she fell into deep thought again.
From the recent confrontation, Zhang Ruoxue learned of the bear’s abilities; it was unafraid of bullets, possessed incredible strength, and what was more frightening was its extremely fast running speed. If everyone wanted to escape, they would have to kill the bear first.
Two bodyguards, wanting to prove their worth, also approached Ye Ming, offering their support.
Ye Ming, however, said, "The two of you, get lost."
The bodyguards wouldn’t listen to Ye Ming and directly retorted, "You’re the one who should get lost. We are Martial Artists, and to us, this little bear is nothing!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the bear lifted its paw and slapped it across the face of one of the bodyguards.
Instantly, the robust man, who stood at one meter and eighty centimeters tall, flew backward like a kite with a broken string, rolling down the cliff, likely facing a slim chance of survival.
The other bodyguard, unwilling to accept defeat and wanting to prove himself, too was struck by the bear on the crown of his head and died instantly.
Ye Ming could see that both bodyguards were fifth-level Martial Artists. Although their strength and skills did not match his, the bear before them had actually killed them with a single blow, showing that the bear was no vegetarian.
Moreover, it had rough and thick paw pads that could even withstand bullets; both its defense and attack power were at their peak, seemingly born for combat.
"Ye Ming, be careful! If it really gets bad, let’s just run!" Xu Lele said anxiously.
Zhang Ruoxue’s legs weakened from fright, Wang Ning had lost all color in his face, but only Xu Lele remained calm and composed, showing no sign of fear.
Having Ye Ming by her side gave her a great sense of security, fearing nothing.
Even if Ye Ming was no match, she was willing to die alongside him.
Of course, these were just Xu Lele’s own thoughts.
After killing the two bodyguards, the bear’s gaze turned to Ye Ming and immediately launched an attack.
It didn’t know who was friend or foe; all it knew was that these people had invaded its territory and had to die.
The thick bear paw once again aimed at Ye Ming’s crown, and Ye Ming swiftly dodged, quickly responding with a punch to the bear’s face.
The bear, without a sound, continued its assault, changing its attack method and coming at Ye Ming from the side.
Unable to dodge, Ye Ming quickly raised his arms to defend.
After a loud bang, Ye Ming’s body flew out, crashing heavily against a tree.
Xu Lele’s eyes widened with shock, about to rush over to check on Ye Ming. Luckily, Wang Ning, with his quick reflexes, grabbed Xu Lele, advising her, "Miss Xu, we can’t go over there now!"
"But... but Ye Ming he..."
Xu Lele’s eyes were filled with concern, looking eagerly at Ye Ming.
At this moment, Ye Ming had been thrown afar, but the bear did not pursue. Instead, it turned towards Xu Lele and the others, charging at them.
With the earth-shaking noise, everyone was petrified, forgetting to flee.
Just as the bear was about to strike, Ye Ming reappeared, landing another punch on the bear’s face.
Three strikes, all in the same position, would have killed an ordinary person long ago.
Yet the bear could still move freely as if nothing had happened.
Ye Ming couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
The bear before him didn’t seem like an ordinary wild bear.
It fed on the medicinal herbs around it, living in this mountain filled with Spiritual Energy, absorbing a certain amount of Spiritual Power, which made it so powerful.
Ye Ming wasn’t surprised; the world was full of wonders, and he had already seen too many strange things.
Ever since he had received the inheritance, he felt that anything was possible.
There were still many novel things in the world that he needed to explore.
However, at the moment, he had to bring down this bear.
After three punches, the bear went into a frenzied state, filled with rage at the indestructible Ye Ming before it.
It wildly swung its paws; a mere touch would snap a tree in half, reflecting the unimaginable strength of its blow.
With a cold laugh, Ye Ming said, "No matter how strong you are, you only have one life! Die." freēwēbnovel.com
Having said that, Ye Ming suddenly made a throwing gesture.
Two Silver Needles flew out from his hand, aiming for the bear’s eyes.
The Silver Needles, infused with True Qi by him, flew at an extreme speed and with tremendous force, piercing through the bear’s eyes and flying out the back of its head in an instant. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
The bear turned blind and began attacking wildly, howling loudly.
Ye Ming, calm and collected, picked up the fallen dagger from the ground and walked towards the bear.
He knew that even bullets couldn’t penetrate the bear’s skin, so he once again stimulated his True Qi, enveloping the dagger with it.
With a ’pfft’, the dagger pierced directly into the bear’s heart.
Another scream later, the bear died on the spot, ceasing its struggles.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but his actions did not stop; he immediately threw the bear aside and removed its gallbladder.
This was his finest trophy, and the moment he got the gallbladder, Ye Ming smiled.
The battle had been well worth it.
Just as he had guessed, the bear had indeed consumed many precious medicinal materials and absorbed a lot of natural Spiritual Energy. Its gallbladder was filled with dense Spiritual Energy, a superb tonic. It would likely be very effective when used to prepare medicinal materials.
After doing all this, Ye Ming re-entered the cave and quickly found the second Silver Snow Grass.
As if no one else mattered, he stuffed the herbs into his pocket, secured the gallbladder, and planned to take Xu Lele and the others down the mountain.
But just a few steps out, he heard Zhang Ruoxue’s shout.
"Stop right there, who said you could leave?"
"I discovered this medicinal herb first, so it should rightfully be mine; what you’re doing is robbery!"
Seeing the bear was dead, and her face no longer showed fear but had turned serious, Zhang Ruoxue sternly said, "Hand over the herbs in your possession immediately, or I won’t be polite!"
Seeing Zhang Ruoxue’s disheveled appearance, Ye Ming suddenly found it somewhat amusing.
He said indifferently, "Miss, don’t you think what you’re saying is a bit unreasonable? Does the herb bear your name?"
