Chapter 5: Encounter with a Cave Bear

Previous Chapter

Life in the valley was peaceful and happy, and the days passed quickly, and it had been a month since they left the cave. Since the beginning of the month, the family's staple food is mainly grilled fish and fish soup, and the rock owl sometimes goes to the mountains to hunt and hunt some small animals such as rabbits and rock rats to roast. One day the rock owl even brought back a fawn!

Of course, two adults can't eat a whole deer, and they are afraid that the fresh smell of meat will attract the predators around them. She buried the bones she had eaten a hundred meters away from the house, but the deer's skeleton was too big to dig a pit large enough to hold the deer bones.

The rock owl decided to carry the deer deep into the mountains and forests to throw it, but he didn't expect this action to cause unexpected trouble.

Here's the thing. The grass leaves they use when roasting venison are unique plants in the river valley, very fragrant, and used to hold venison will soak the fragrance into the fatty meat, which is delicious and greasy.

Of course, the uneaten venison also has the fragrance of grass leaves, and the leftover venison is not buried in the ground, but thrown in the woods. It's not the first time I've done something like this, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

However, the area they are in and the environment around the cave are completely different. There are no large beasts in the cave tribes, and it takes a while for the hunting team to find the herd. However, in the mountains around the valley live a herd of cave bears, which usually eat grass, but they are not docile, very aggressive, and have an astonishing weight and strength.

The cave bear has a very sensitive sense of smell, and when the rock owl threw the deer, he happened to meet an adult cave bear who came out to feed, and he was attracted by the scent of grass, and secretly followed the rock owl all the way back to the river valley.

So when Peach Misty discovers this giant stalker, her heart is broken.

In order to protect the mother and son, he took the wrong side - the first attack.

The rules of the world are that being the first to attack means provocation and challenge, and the Rock Owl's actions naturally anger the Cave Bears, who rush at them.

Tao Yi motioned to the rock owl to lure the cave bear away from the house, and the two children were still inside, so the rock owl ran and jumped desperately, continuing to provoke the cave bear. The cave bear was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he caught up with him. Seeing that the bear's paw was about to beckon to the rock owl's head, and if that palm was solid, it would definitely not die or be crippled, so the peach had no choice but to pull up the pointed wooden branch used for the barbecue and throw it at the cave bear.

Luckily, the tree branch hit the cave bear, stuck in its back, and stuck in its shoulder blades through the thick fur. The cave bear roared in pain, and the roar shook both of them to the point of deafness. But they can't throw in the towel, because the two children are in the house, and once they escape, the cave bear will definitely go and destroy the house.

The cave bear ran towards the peach ethereal. Tao Miao was so frightened that her legs were weak and she couldn't run at all.

"River!" The rock owl yelled, motioning for her to quickly duck into the river.

However, the shallow river water could not stop the attack of the cave bear at all, but the resistance of the water hindered the ethereal movement.

Seeing the bear's paw coming towards her, Peach closed her eyes.

The expected pain didn't strike, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that it was the rock owl standing in front of her.

The rock owl slashed the bear's paw with a stone axe, and he himself was attacked in the chest by the cave bear. The deep wound is visible from the left shoulder to the right abdomen, and if it is any deeper, it will be disemboweled on the spot.

Peach Ethereal had the strength to come from nowhere, snatching the stone axe from the rock owl's hand and throwing it at the head of the cave bear. The stone axe was embedded in the skull, and the cave bear was killed instantly.
