The unchanging electronic voice of the System rang out, but Bi Fang hadn’t caught what it said, nor did he dare to divert his attention to check.
Cold sweat seeped from his forehead, yet he didn’t break into a wild sprint; running was impossible, not even a world champion could manage it!
Fight desperately, but not to the death!
This piece of advice from another world was seared into his mind like a brand.
Combining his own Wilderness Survival skills, Bi Fang gradually understood the meaning of these words as he faced off against the black bear before him.
This was his only chance!
Inside the live streaming room, it was also far from calm; there was a tumultuous buzz with all sorts of comments—teasing ones, fearful ones, and mostly, panic-stricken ones, afraid that they were about to witness a one-sided slaughter.
It’s no surprise; through the first-person camera, many viewers felt as if they were the ones facing the black bear, and some couldn’t take it anymore, even leaving the room to lean against a wall and visit the restroom.
Ma Huayi, too, watching the live stream, stared with bated breath, feeling that his photography work over the years hadn’t produced as much material as the past few days had.
“How are we going to handle this now?”
“We’re done for, there’s been a live broadcast accident.”
“Damn, Old Demon Ling’s choice of live broadcast is so freakin’ thrilling!”
“Hahaha, I saw Old Demon Ling looking stunned.”
“Fuck, can the fans of Old Demon Ling calm the hell down? Can’t you bloody see what’s happening?”
“Exactly, with the broadcaster in this state, who’s in the mood to joke around?” “Holy shit, who forced the broadcaster to go to the Primeval Forest? He chose it himself, so who’s to blame? A bunch of idiots!”
“That’s right, it’s his own doing, idiot broadcaster, idiot fans!”
“Old Demon Ling has sent the broadcaster a Super Rocket *1—let’s show some respect and stop the bashing, the Ling Family Army needs to calm down too, this is your fault this time, everyone needs to be rational. The broadcaster is a real man!”
Another Super Rocket soared into the sky, unexpectedly sent by Ling Xuefeng himself as an apology. He had not anticipated his fans stirring up trouble and quickly tried to quell the situation.
Even a fool could see the broadcaster’s potential; he shouldn’t be offended.
Seeing the broadcaster speaking up, Ling Xuefeng’s fans also quieted down.
But Bi Fang paid no attention to these things.
The black bear with bloodstains at the corners of its mouth lowered its head, shaking it rapidly from side to side, slightly opening its mouth to reveal four iron hook-like black and yellow canines, looking extremely sharp.
This was the prelude to an attack!
“Everyone, please don’t panic at this time, the more you panic, the easier it is to make mistakes. Do you remember what I’ve said?”
“A wild beast can smell your fear. The more afraid you are, the more excited it gets.”
Bi Fang clenched his Stone Spear tightly, staring intently at the black bear’s limbs. While observing its movements, he avoided making eye contact with the bear.
The distance between them was only four or five meters—it would be lying to say he wasn’t afraid.
In his previous life, he had his robust physique and full gear for exploration, but now his physical condition was not up to par, and the only weapon he had was a rather rough handmade Stone Spear, which was far less reliable than modern industrial-manufactured knives.
But Bi Fang would not let fear dominate his brain!
The standoff lasted a while, maybe stimulated by the scent of blood and deeming the bipedal creature before it not a threat, or perhaps lured by the smell of the smoked rabbit meat and no longer wanting to test its patience, the black bear licked its nose and, with a sudden flurry of its paws digging into the ground, charged at Bi Fang.
Its massive body moved with such ferocious speed that the ground itself trembled.
This was no mere black bear—it was more like a rampaging panzer tank!
At this critical juncture, Bi Fang’s left leg muscles tensed, and he forcefully pushed off the ground with his left foot, rolling to the side.
As he rolled, both hands gripping the Stone Spear, he thrust fiercely at the black bear’s head!
Snap!
But having barely pierced the black bear’s cheek, the pained bear shook its head. The massive force broke the Spear’s shaft and it again opened its mouth to bite at Bi Fang!
The distance was only the length of one’s body, and as the gaping maw with its gleaming teeth bore down, Bi Fang could even smell the stench of recently- eaten animal guts!
He didn’t hesitate, once more pulling out a Stone Spear from behind him and plunging it forcefully into the black bear’s mouth!
The Black Bear was equally fearless, charging towards Bi Fang with its front limbs raised to slash violently at his head!
Such ferocity!
Bi Fang’s heart skipped a beat, astonished that the beast was entirely unafraid of the stone spear. As the claw came at him, he, still on the ground, could only slightly shift to the side.
Rip!
Thud!
The sharp stone spear struck directly at the Black Bear’s nose, and then was blocked by its hard skull.
But at the same time, the Black Bear’s claw also struck Bi Fang’s left shoulder.
The sharp curved hooks tore through Bi Fang’s clothes and backpack effortlessly, nearly grazing his scalp as they slapped past.
Crack!
The backpack strap provided by the System snapped instantly, causing Bi Fang’s pupils to dilate—this wasn’t just any ordinary backpack, but a specialized outdoor bag, far more durable and wear-resistant than normal, a bag that couldn’t even be cut by ordinary knives, yet it was severed by the Black Bear’s claw!
All the viewers inhaled sharply, their hearts racing with fear!
The Black Bear’s claws were that sharp!
The intense pain in his shoulder blade and the scent of blood triggered Bi Fang’s fighting spirit. His eyes bloodshot, he gripped the stone spear with his right hand with all his might. The spear that had been stopped by the skull now slid further, scraping the Black Bear’s cheek and left eye, opening a large gash.
The nerve endings at the tip of the Black Bear’s nose were the most sensitive. Now, having been pierced by the spear and also suffering a gash across the cheek and eye, the bear was in agony, as if its life was at stake!
The Black Bear yowled in pain and stepped back, giving Bi Fang a chance to catch his breath.
Bi Fang struggled to his feet, tossed aside the backpack with one strap broken, and pulled out another stone spear, rushing towards the Black Bear’s left side.
He had just injured the Black Bear’s left eye—now that side would be its blind spot!
This was his chance!
With a few quick strides, Bi Fang reached the Black Bear’s left side, holding the stone spear with both hands, plunging it fiercely into its flank!
“Roar!”
The Black Bear roared, just as it tried to turn to attack, but Bi Fang immediately knelt on one knee, using all the tricks up his sleeve to hold the spear firm. As the Black Bear turned, the spear would only go deeper!
Watching the screaming Black Bear, and remembering how he had struggled the day before to catch rabbits, only for the beast to eat the innards and still vie for the meat, Bi Fang was so enraged he twisted the stone spear fiercely!
“I’m going to butcher you!”
“Roar!”
The Black Bear let out another scream of pain, less ferocious now, and more pitiful.
Bi Fang seized the opportunity and quickly stood up.
He dodged the Black Bear’s counterattack, clutching the stone spear tightly with his left hand, leaning in with his upper body, and thrusting with all the strength of his waist and abdomen. With his right hand, he drew the stone dagger from his waist and stabbed down rapidly!
One slash, two slashes…
He slashed countless times, the Black Bear’s side and back almost entirely soaked in blood!
Under the camera, the primal beauty of raw violence burst forth like thousands of horses charging into battle.
In the dappled light of the jungle, the ferocious predator launched its assault, but was made to look utterly pathetic by a few short spears. Its massive head attempted to open its jaws to bite, but it couldn’t turn around to do so.
In the sunlight, Bi Fang bit down hard, his left shoulder swollen and unbearable, as bear blood from his right hand flowed down his palm.
[Damn, that’s so freaking cool!]
[I’m freaking blown away by Master Fang! Total badassery!]
[This is what primal is!]
[Kill it! Bear paws for dinner tonight!]
This is so explosive!
The viewers in the live broadcast were nearly in collective ecstasy, the barrage of comments flying across the screen so thick it almost crashed the broadcast!
