Chapter 138: Isn't This Guy Really Here To Make Trouble?
André took advantage of the opportunity of the "bear car" to brake and roll sharply, condensed the subtle dark magic in the palm of his hand, and gently touched the huge brown ass when the clumsy big guy was still shaking his head and getting up.
Brown bear (adult female)
Power 24
Constitution 26
Agility 12
Spirit 8
Perception 16
Thinking about it carefully, the Child of the Abyss felt that the Abyssal Will was not without the ability to grant him the same strange powers and spells as the Lord of the Eyes, and the ability to rely on dark magic to detect the physical qualities of the other party and manifest it as an "attribute" panel was not his own unique sorcery?
The she-bear, who had rolled over in embarrassment, growled anxiously, twisting her inflexible body as if trying to reach her fat and hairy buttocks, the beast instinctively felt the magic invade its body, but it seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the fact that it had not been visibly harmed.
Its wild instincts told itself that the strange hairless monkey in front of it was not just as scary as it looked, but that the rich dark magic should have the ability to do substantial damage!
Bears are a very dangerous animal.
Its great strength and clumsy body determine that it is a creature that relies mainly on strength superiority for hunting, and as a result of this natural evolution, all large bears are relatively lacking in the details of their own strength.
Just as you can't expect a dwarf accustomed to striking iron to be equally skilled with an embroidery needle, while most of the bears known to André are omnivorous, their movements are clearly not comparable to those of primates capable of delicate work and processing.
As far as he knows, a wildlife behavior researcher once raised a juvenile brown bear until it reached adulthood, and his "baby bear" weighed several times as much as he himself when it reached adulthood! The brown bear he raised was inseparable from him, but even so, he was injured at the hands of his beloved brown bear several times.
It's not that these large animals of low intelligence are moody and untamable, but because they can't handle their enormous power with weight, and once a brown bear and his researcher owner strangled each other's ribs with a "passionate" bear hug while playing.
In other words, this creature is not so safe even when it has no intention of attacking people, and even a cute and harmless species like giant pandas can pose a deadly threat to humans when they launch a bomb!
This can be seen only from the opponent's strength of 24 points, and the brown bear with 12 points of agility is also terrifying, and its speed can even reach an altitude of nearly 60 kilometers per hour! Its hearing and sense of smell are not inferior to those of wolves, and its perception is only 16 points, probably mainly because its eyesight is not very developed.
The vast majority of wild creatures have much superior knowledge than intelligent creatures! This is their innate ability to survive, whether it is to find prey or avoid predators in the natural world, they need very strong keen senses, just as civilization is the foundation of intelligent creatures to build a social form, and the extraordinary perception of wild creatures is the most powerful ability given to them by nature. This is also the reason why rangers who are very familiar with the forest can't do without their animal companions - they may not be that smart, but most of the time they tend to detect danger before their ranger companions.
Even though the elves have been the true masters of the Whispering Forest for thousands of years, there are still many unforeseen dangers lurking in the depths of the forests far from villages and civilizations.
Sensing the threat, the adult she-bear no longer rushes recklessly, and cautiously stands between her feisty child and Andre. Not only can the senses that can be described in words, but the sensitivity of animals to mysterious powers is much stronger than that of most intelligent beings without special training, but because their pure soul and intelligence make these guys unable to master some spells like Andrei, and even the magical beasts that can cast certain spells often rely on their innate instincts.
Given that the mother-bear, who was so protective of her son, was finally not as aggressive as she had been at the beginning, André could finally take a moment to think carefully about what he should do to pass the test.
Bears are mostly omnivores, and even smaller bears try to catch small rodents when they eat fruit, while large brown bears even seek out ant nests to prey on ants. Of course, these are just proven habits in another world, and Andrei is not very sure if Garandia's brown bear is also such a virtuous character. However, in the absence of any other source of information, the children of the abyss can only be used as a dead horse doctor.
The recipes of these not-so-good-tempered creatures are quite extensive, as long as they can reach them, they can eat almost everything, which is in line with the food traditions left over from the difficult times of the people of the Celestial Empire. The only thing worth noting is that they don't like to eat dead things, but it is said that if they are hungry, they can swallow rotting corpses without hesitation, at least their distant relatives, the only pure carnivorous polar bears.
However, almost all folk legends and popular science books have recorded such a point - almost all omnivorous bears have a special hobby that cannot be avoided, honey!
They are obsessed with these sweet, slimy, golden liquids, even if they know that they will face the crazy revenge of the bee's tail stinging bee venom!
André touched the deerskin pouch around his waist, which contained various condiments that Gru had forcibly stuffed the Children of the Abyss when he heard that his lord was going to go through a period of wild life. In the eyes of the little manager, His Royal Highness Andrei, who admired and invented all kinds of delicacies, must be very disgusted with those coarse foods in the wild!
He remembered that there seemed to be a small vial of the finest wild honey that the elves had collected themselves?
So Andre looked at the she-bear, who was still a little nervous, staring at any of his slightly larger uncertain movements from time to time, and already had his own plan in his heart......
The exuberant fire was filled with wild chestnuts, and the jumping light of the fire made the mother bear hide with her curious child to the edge of the thorn fence. Andre pulled his trouser legs and looked for fat swimming fish in the cold stream, with his current physical fitness, climbing trees and catching fish is just a very easy thing to master, and can be simply attributed to the direct benefits of high "attributes".
In a short time, the children of the abyss fished several large fish from the abundant stream. The smell of fish wafting away made the mother bear raise her neck to sniff the food in the air, but in view of the fire that made it feel threatened and the strange "monkey" that emitted a black mist all over her body, the mother bear still did not make any unusual moves.
The young elves on the cliffs were not impatient, and using food to get closer to the beasts was one of the most common methods used by veteran rangers and druids. But when you don't have the agility or the strength to intimidate powerful beasts, even the most classic and effective methods can become extremely dangerous.
Taming a mother bear with a baby is not a feat that an ordinary young man can accomplish on his own! So even though Andrei's progress seems to be slow, the young people and druids watching are only nervous but not dissatisfied.
Andre in the fence was still sprinkling spices and jam on the grilled fish, but Roland on the cliff couldn't help but taste it a little with interest: "Andre's grilled fish tastes amazing! I have never tasted such delicious grilled fish!"
Then he noticed that almost all of his companions were looking at him with the same suspicion and envy - there was no such thing as grilled fish in the group meal in the last few days, and the boy realized that he had leaked his mouth to reveal the real menu he had enjoyed at noon yesterday when he was alone - compared to the improvised "recipes" of his companions such as toads, wild vegetables, mushrooms, and green worms, Andrei's grilled fish was a rare feast anyway.
Fortunately, at this time, no one would have put their minds on yesterday's lunch, and they all wanted to know if Andre's feeding behavior would succeed in taming the grumpy brown-haired guy. Most of the time, beasts don't always buy into food temptations, and what affects the outcome of feeding is a special ability that the druids call "Wild Affinity". Just like when Roland comforted the white deer, he didn't need to make any superfluous movements at all, just quietly approached the target, and then gently stroked the other person's neck...... And so the test passed.
A wonderful, innate or acquired special ability, often regarded by druids and rangers as a very important magical talent.
The young man on the cliff watched as Andre finally took the grilled fish from the improvised deadwood grill, and when he approached the mother and son, he took some unknown things from his waist bag and poured them on it, and then the mother brown bear, who had been constantly roaring warningly, could not move.
"What kind of magical material is that?" the elven boys asked curiously.
"It's honey. The adult druids beside them, who were responsible for the safety of everyone, had a faint magical aura in their eyes, and he was carefully observing the movements of the children of the abyss with his eagle eye.
Andre, who was in the distance, gently placed the grilled fish in his hand on the grass and slowly took a few steps back to show that he had no ill intentions. The mother and son, who were whetted by the sweet smell of grilled fish and honey, shook their big butts awkwardly and stretched out their paws to hold the food on the ground after the kind "cook" retreated to a safe distance. Stretching out her long tongue, she began to lick and eat eagerly, and when she didn't find anything abnormal, the she-bear completely let go of her cheap reserve and feasted on it.
Seasoned druids can already conclude that the young men in the fence who face the toughest test of all are now at least halfway there.
Sure enough, the she-bear seemed to feel unsatisfied after eating the sweet and tender fatty fish. Courageously, he slowly leaned towards the scorching fire in the setting sun......
By the time the she-bear had finished eating the third fat fish, the surrounding druids had basically let their guard down. Anyone who is familiar with the habits of brown bears knows that these gluttonous creatures sometimes only have food in their eyes. Even if they don't hurt people, they have to be very careful, and when they get hungry, they may bite down along with the hands of the feeder!
The young man who was tested was very cautious, always placing the grilled fish on the grass for the mother and child to eat, rather than relying on the more intimate feeding method of holding the food in his hand to become friendly with the other person. In fact, after a short while, the standard of a quarter hourglass hour for the appeasement target will soon be met.
However, at this time, the children of the abyss, who were in the middle of the fence, did something that all druids felt extremely unwise!
I watched as the she-bear ate her tongue swept around the edge of her long mouth, while the slightly thin bear became delighted after licking the honey from the grilled fish, biting the fat fish between her paws without a match, but not eating much.
"What's the matter, you little fool?" asked Andre amusefully, not expecting any response from the cub, but the cub who noticed his voice seemed to understand his question, staring at the good Samaritan in front of him with big innocent eyes.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" the children of the abyss realized that bear cubs of this age are always energetic and curious when they are sleepy and tired, otherwise how could people invent such a classic word as "bear child"?
The reason why he looks listless when eating is probably only because the little guy is sick.
So when the cub focused on him and took a few steps closer with curiosity, Andre gently stretched out his palm in response.
And it was this action that made almost everyone outside the arena break out in a cold sweat - even the female bear who has basically let down her guard will inevitably launch a warning attack when the other party tries to directly contact the cub, maybe the force of that attack will be very gentle in a real fight, but that is only for a male bear of his size! At such a close distance, even a warning attack can be very dangerous for a teenager who is not strong enough!
The bear's soft tongue slid over the fingers of the children of the abyss, and Andre, who only had this beautiful scene in his eyes, suddenly felt that he was busy just now, and it seemed that it was "worth the money", and today could not only be regarded as a test or test, but also as a novel experience worth remembering. Presumably, only the spirits who worship nature are in a position to provide such special "experiences" to young people.
It's just that the little bear in front of him, who has lost his appetite, looks a little pitiful......
Thinking so in his heart, Andrei's slender and powerful fingers pinched the tangled brown fur on the bear's ears, as a special person with abyssal blood, his resistance to disease was originally stronger than that of mortals, and after obtaining the seed of the World Tree, his health was even better to an infinevable extent. It would be nice if I could give a little bit of the abundant life power of the Divine Seed to this little guy.
And then what made the people whose hearts were already hanging on the sidelines even more unexpected happened so suddenly.
-- A gentle and striking green light bloomed between Andrei's fingers, and the she-bear, who had been paying attention to Andrei's every move since just now, became more and more calm in the light, completely losing the nervous appearance she had before in an instant. The cub, shrouded in green light, let out a comfortable whimper, as if enjoying the sudden surprise......
With the exception of André himself, all the druids present, including the young elves who had been tested, had completely understood that the magical creature who was being tested had passed the test perfectly. Not only this time, but also the next ten days of travel and cultivation that had already been planned, he didn't have to participate in it at all!
Who the hell stuffed this gifted guy into their ranks!? Isn't this a deliberate attack!
Several young elves complained indignantly in their hearts.
In fact, watching a classic healing technique for the first time can be called a precious experience for these young people who are about to embark on the path of nature. But even though they knew in their hearts, the maverick brunette boy still gave them a sense of frustration.
