Chapter 111 Wolf-Faced Silver Bear
The wild beasts arrived so quickly, which was something Hengshan and Xiao Chong had not expected.
In their minds, these wild beasts had always roamed the depths of the Southern Wilderness, and even though they had frequently attacked the pioneering teams during this period, it was still happening in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
This is the first time that a wild beast has appeared directly in Tiannan Town like today.
Since the wild beasts have come to our door, we must kill them. Otherwise, if they are allowed into Tiannan Town, it will inevitably lead to a series of unpredictable consequences.
On this point, Xiao Chong and Yokoyama shared the same thought. Because even if they wanted to escape, it wasn't something they could just do on a whim.
Having been in Tiannan Town for so long, each pioneering team has accumulated a large amount of supplies. Aside from the most important cultivation resource, Yuan Stones, there are also quite a few other cultivation materials.
For example, animal cores, rare mineral deposits, gold and silver, personnel, and various essential living supplies. These are all things that need to be taken along.
With so much stuff, it would take at least three to five days to sort it all out.
So regardless of whether they decided to leave Tiannan Town or not, the first priority was to eliminate these wild beasts that had invaded Tiannan Town.
After a brief exchange of glances, Yokoyama spoke first: "Let's go see what's going on."
Xiao Chong nodded and said, "Yes, we really need to go and take a look. Even if we want to leave, we have to deal with the current troubles first."
"Let's go then." Yokoyama got up first and walked outside, and Xiao Chong quickly called Yin Feng to follow.
The area within Tiannan Town is not very large, and the town mayor's mansion where Hengshan is located is in the center of the town, even closer to the south gate. With the three of them moving at full speed, they arrived in no time.
The city was originally built here more as a symbol, so the city walls were very simple, less than five feet thick, and made entirely of rammed sand.
The area above the city wall is flat, unlike typical city walls which have defensive features such as crenellations.
As we approached the South Gate, we could see chaos unfolding at the city gate from afar.
Many people poured in from outside the city one after another. Several guards on duty at the city gate were anxiously urging people to hurry up, waiting for everyone outside to enter before closing the city gate.
Upon reaching the city gate, the three of them didn't greet anyone. Instead, they leaped onto the bare city wall.
The city wall was not high, less than two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters), and many people were already standing on it, pointing and gesturing towards the outside of the city. Upon seeing Hengshan arrive, these people quickly dispersed to both sides, making way for him.
The three stood on the city wall and looked out. They saw that outside the city, small groups of people were running wildly into the city.
Meanwhile, in the distance, a small pioneering team, whose members were unknown, was being chased by several large wild beasts, fighting and fleeing towards this side.
The pioneering team was weak and clearly no match for the wild beasts. As they fled, members of the team kept falling into pools of blood.
As the number of pioneers dwindled and they were about to be devoured by beasts, Yokoyama finally lost his patience.
He glanced at Xiao Chong and said, "Brother Xiao, would you be willing to come with me to fight and rescue these people?"
Xiao Chong readily agreed, "Alright, now is the time for us to work together. It is not the way of us to stand by and watch someone die."
These words were spoken with great passion and righteous indignation, stirring the blood of the crowd on the city wall, who all cheered loudly in approval.
Amid cheers, the two leaped off the city wall, propelled themselves forward, and flew straight towards the pioneering team amidst billowing dust.
As Xiao Chong ran, he secretly rejoiced: the number of wild beasts was far too small, and with a high-level combatant like Hengshan in charge, there was no real danger. Why not give such a favor, which could both win favor and gain people's hearts?
Yokoyama, of course, had no idea what Xiao Chong was thinking. Seeing that he showed no hesitation, he couldn't help but secretly praise him: He is indeed a man of great character. Although he is a bit greedy, he is courageous and resourceful in times of crisis. His flaws do not outweigh his merits. He is worth befriending.
Each with their own thoughts, they glanced at each other as they ran, then suddenly burst into laughter at the same time, accelerating once more.
When they arrived at the pioneering team, the team had only about ten people left, less than half of its original size.
Seeing the urgency of the situation, Xiao Chong and Hengshan didn't have time to talk and hurriedly let the pioneer team pass, blocking the way for the wild beast.
There were five wild beasts before them, each over ten feet tall, and they were quite strange in appearance. Their heads resembled those of wolves, but their bodies were much thicker and stronger, more like giant bears.
"Roar!"
Seeing that someone was blocking their way, the five wild beasts roared in unison, abandoned the pioneer team, and charged straight at the two.
Xiao Chong spotted a wild beast and threw a punch, which collided with the beast's palm.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the beast remained motionless, but Xiao Chong was struck by a tremendous force, his body thrown back more than two zhang before he finally came to a stop.
"What kind of wild beast is this? How can it be so ferocious?" After stopping, Xiao Chong turned to Hengshan and asked in surprise.
Hengshan threw a punch, knocking one of the wild beasts back two steps, and then kicked out another wild beast, sending it tumbling over. He replied, "Wolf-faced Silver Bear."
It is a rare species from the Southern Wilderness, a hybrid of a red-faced blue wolf and a silver-striped brown bear. It inherits the characteristics of both beasts: cunning, agile, and incredibly strong. You must be careful.
"Damn it! I was wondering why it looked so strange. Turns out it's a crossbred, just like a mule!" Xiao Chong cursed under his breath, then braced himself and charged forward again.
"Try to deal with one of them first, and I'll help you after I've taken care of the others!" Yokoyama said as he charged into the bear pack, single-handedly holding off five wolf-faced silver bears.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to be overwhelmed in a one-on-one fight," Xiao Chong replied, and then faced off against the wild beast he had just fought.
Xiao Chong is currently at the level of a martial arts apprentice. In terms of the depth of his Yuan energy and his understanding of martial arts techniques, he is naturally far inferior to Hengshan.
However, after being tempered by star power, his explosive power in a short period of time is incomparable to that of ordinary martial apprentices. In terms of physical strength alone, he is even comparable to Hengshan, who is at the Martial Master level.
The reason I suffered a loss when I first fought the wolf-faced silver bear was because I was caught off guard.
After being reminded by Hengshan, Xiao Chong unleashed all his Yuan Power and was able to fight to a standstill. Although he still couldn't gain any advantage, he was no longer at a disadvantage in the short term.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" A series of loud explosions rang out between Xiao Chong's fist and the giant paw of the wolf-faced silver bear. Xiao Chong gritted his teeth and held on, not taking a single step back.
After several unsuccessful attempts to attack with his paws, the wolf-faced silver bear finally became enraged.
How can a weak human be so resilient? Just a moment ago, a single slap sent him flying far away, how did he suddenly become so ferocious?
Given the intelligence of the wolf-faced silver bear, it is clear that it cannot comprehend the current situation.
Therefore, it tilted its head and looked at Xiao Chong, then suddenly let out a deafening roar, raised its fan-like bear paw again, and slammed it down hard on Xiao Chong's head.
This palm strike was powerful and heavy, and a fierce gust of wind stirred up a cloud of dust, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.
Before the bear's paw even arrived, a stench spewed from the wolf-faced silver bear's roar first. Just as Xiao Chong was about to test the wolf-faced silver bear's strength, he suddenly felt his breath catch in his throat and almost fell over from the oncoming stench.
Why are they even using poison gas?! Is this the benefit of not brushing your teeth? Seeing the huge bear paw pressing down on him, Xiao Chong slipped and, unable to dodge in time, had no choice but to activate "Azure Thorn".
An invisible beam of telekinesis pierced the wolf-faced silver bear's head silently, but its effect was not as significant as when dealing with the blood-patterned ants.
Perhaps because the wolf-faced silver bear was too big and had thick skin and flesh, it was able to withstand the attack more effectively. Therefore, its giant paw only paused slightly above Xiao Chong's head before continuing to press down.
But that short break was enough time to react. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Chong ducked and rolled away, skimming the ground.
"boom!"
The wolf-faced silver bear's enormous paw slammed down, creating a crater three feet in diameter in the ground.
The force was too astonishing; if it had hit him on the head, he would have been smashed into a meat patty! Xiao Chong felt a wave of fear and dared not fight back directly. Instead, he relied on his agile movements to fight the wolf-faced silver bear.
Looking at Hengshan's side, the situation was completely different from Xiao Chong's. He had fully demonstrated his strength as a martial arts master, and the four wolf-faced silver bears were constantly being suppressed.
"Roar!"
The strongest wolf-faced silver bear pounced on Yokoyama head-on. Yokoyama neither dodged nor avoided it, but instead raised his fist and knocked the bear back two steps.
Then, he tilted his body to the side to dodge the attack of another wolf-faced silver bear, and kicked out with his foot, landing right on the wolf-faced silver bear's knee.
The wolf-faced silver bear couldn't stop its momentum in time and crashed heavily to the ground with a "thud." Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hengshan channeled his inner energy and punched the wolf-faced silver bear straight to the back of the head.
Most wild beasts have tough fur and physical strength far exceeding that of humans; only the heart and the back of the head can be fatally struck.
Because the heart is not protected by a sternum, it can directly damage the heart of a wild beast. The back of the head, however, is naturally thin and fragile because it needs to absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth for nourishment.
Yokoyama's punch landed squarely on the most vulnerable spot on the back of the wolf-faced silver bear's head, instantly piercing through it with a "poof," and even his entire fist was embedded in it.
As the white and red brain matter splattered out, the wolf-faced silver bear twitched its limbs, struggled a few times, and finally died.
Next, Yokoyama unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks, repeating the same method. Before long, the other three wolf-faced silver bears were also dealt with.
Turning his head, he saw that Xiao Chong was still fighting the last wolf-faced silver bear. Hengshan laughed loudly, rushed over and told Xiao Chong to step aside. He ended the fight with a few punches and kicks.
"Not bad, not bad! These strange beasts are extremely difficult to fight. Even ordinary martial artists are no match for them. It's quite remarkable that you've been able to hold out for so long."
Yokoyama casually wiped the brain matter off his hands on his robe and smiled at Xiao Chong. As for beast cores, which were of little value to ordinary martial artists, he couldn't be bothered with them.
He might not care, but Xiao Chong had no intention of letting it go. After all, this thing was extremely useful for the cultivation of the cauldron spirit.
Watching Xiao Chong swiftly pry out all five beast cores, Hengshan laughed and said, "No rush, no one's going to take them from you, why are you in such a hurry?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a roar suddenly came from afar, followed by a sandstorm that rose into the sky and even caused the ground to tremble slightly.
The two looked in the direction of the sound and their expressions immediately changed.
