The old hunter noticed the anomaly behind him, and he held his gun to the grass behind him, as if he were facing a great enemy.

Hearing the old hunter's warning, the grass shook for a while, and then a figure emerged from the grass.

"Don't shoot, it's me, it's me. A familiar voice sounded, causing the three of Qin Xiusheng to frown at the same time.

The person who has been following them is none other than Gongsun Yan, who left in a negative mood before.

"Didn't I tell you not to follow?" Luo Ziran couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice, "You can't help if you come along, hurry back to the village." ”

Gongsun Yan pouted, grimaced at Luo Ziran, and then said angrily, "Who said I can't help? Don't look at me as a girl, I'm much more familiar with the forest than you." When I used to go to collect medicine, I also went to Gongxiong Ridge several times, and when I encountered danger, I might be a burden. ”

Hearing Gongsun Yan's words, Luo Ziran sighed helplessly. Now it's not a question of whether it's burdensome or not, but if you really meet a bear, Gongsun Yan won't be able to play a role even if she follows, just adding a victim.

Thinking of this, Luo Ziran stiffened his face and wanted to drive Gongsun Yan back to the village.

The old hunter shook his head and said in a deep voice, "No, there are very likely bears hiding around the village, and it would be even more dangerous for her to go back alone." ”

Luo Ziran thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, then we'll send her back first." ”

Qin Xiusheng frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's too late, it's already far away from the village, if you send her back and start again, the injured will most likely not be able to hold on." ”

Gongsun Yan nodded again and again, glared at Luo Ziran defiantly, and then said, "Since that's the case, let me go with you." Don't worry, I've been growing up in the mountains since I was a child, and I will never cause you any trouble. ”

Luo Ziran wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the old hunter. He glanced at Gongsun Yan and said in a deep voice, "It's okay to let you follow, but you have to promise not to come nonsense." ”

Gongsun Yan hurriedly nodded in agreement, she patted her chest and said, "You can rest assured." It's not the first time I've gone to Bear Ridge with you, have I ever been disobedient?"

Seeing Gongsun Yan nodding in agreement, the old hunter agreed to go with her. Qin Xiusheng didn't say anything, but Luo Ziran looked unwilling.

He walked up to Gongsun Yan and reproached, "What's the good thing about not asking you to stay in the village and come with us?"

Gongsun Yan pursed her mouth, and she twisted her head to the side, not wanting to pay attention to Luo Ziran.

Seeing Gongsun Yan's appearance, Luo Ziran could only sigh helplessly. Now there is no other way but to take Gongsun Yan to Gongxiong Ridge together, even if Luo Ziran is no longer reluctant in his heart, he has to accept this reality.

The group of four continued to move forward in the darkness, with the old hunter at the front. Although he didn't have a torch, he was very familiar with his surroundings. Whenever you go to a rough place, you will always remind a few people in advance not to fall.

Seeing that the old hunter's experience was so sophisticated, Qin Xiusheng was also a little relieved. With him leading the way, he was able to minimize the danger.

The group continued on their way for a long time, when the old hunter suddenly stopped. The three Qin Xiusheng who were following him hurriedly stopped, looking around vigilantly, for fear that a beast would suddenly emerge from the shadows.

"Going further on, we're in the range of Bear Ridge, let's take a break here. The old hunter said, leaning against the trunk of the tree, "After entering the Bear Ridge, you may encounter a bear at any time, and you must keep your body in the best condition." ”

Although he was worried about the situation of the injured, Qin Xiusheng also understood the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it. If you are reluctant to move forward, you are really in danger. Instead of being able to collect herbs to save the wounded, they will kill their group.

The group repaired for a while before the old hunter got back to his feet. His face showed a solemnity, and he said in a deep voice, "After entering the Bear Ridge, no matter what you do, you must report to me in advance. ”

Seeing the old hunter's serious appearance, Qin Xiusheng and the others nodded hurriedly. This is not a joke, and if you are not careful, everyone will die.

Seeing that all three of them nodded in agreement, the old hunter took a step and took the lead in entering Bear Ridge. Qin Xiusheng and the others didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed.

After entering Bear Ridge, the surrounding atmosphere became obviously oppressive. Unlike the previous forests, the trees in Bear Ridge are all very tall. The dense branches of the trees completely obscured the sky, and it was very dark even during the day. And at this time, it is night, and I can't see my fingers.

After entering Bear Ridge, even the old hunters were not very familiar with the environment here. In this way, the hounds carried by the old hunter came into play. The Hound walked at the front, leading the crowd through a dark forest.

Seeing that it was pitch black all around, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked with some concern, "It's pitch black here, even if there are herbs, we can't see it, how can this be?"

The old hunter waved his hand and replied, "You don't have to worry about that, the herb you are looking for will only grow in one place in Bear Ridge. ”

Qin Xiusheng couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and asked again, "What kind of place is it, it shouldn't be a dangerous place, right?"

Without waiting for the old hunter to answer, Gongsun Yan preemptively said, "It's not too dangerous, only the depths of the Ten Guards' lair have that kind of special herbs." ”

"Ten Guards?" Qin Xiusheng's face showed a hint of doubt, and he couldn't help but ask, "Since it is said to be a lair, it must not be a human being, right?"

Gongsun Yan nodded, deliberately lowering her voice, "Of course it's not human. Jubei is a huge brown bear that can be said to be the king of this bear ridge, and legend has it that its fur can even block bullets. ”

Hearing Gongsun Yan's words, Qin Xiusheng was shocked. He originally thought that coming to Bear Ridge would be dangerous enough, but he didn't expect that the real destination was much more dangerous than he imagined. The legendary brown bear, if it is really encountered, I am afraid that even if there are old hunters, no one will be able to spare.

"Don't scare them, the Ten Guards are fierce, but they are not as terrifying as the legend says. ”

Hearing the old hunter's words, Qin Xiusheng breathed a sigh of relief. But before he could be completely reassured, the old hunter continued, "The hunters in the village have organized many operations to encircle and suppress the Ten Guards, but they have all escaped. ”
