The grinning brown bear and Nalan Xingtian exchanged each other's positions, Nalan Xingtian retracted the knife and returned the sheath, and the wave-breaking knife was particularly eye-catching in this dim forest, and it was retracted into the scabbard little by little.

Until the last glimmer of brilliance is completely retracted, the hilt hits the scabbard with a metallic sound.

The knife marks on the grinning brown bear's body were revealed, the sharp claws were broken at the roots, the wounds on the chest, abdomen, and palms and wrists were opened, and red blood spurted out, like a waterfall fountain.

The most fatal was the wound on the neck, which stretched across most of the neck, and the grinning brown bear wanted to roar, but found that the torn wound in the neck made its roar not thick, and it fell to the ground, letting out a burst of wails.

It felt frightened, the rapid flow of blood made it feel dizzy, it could no longer stand up, out of the corner of its eye, it saw the emaciated human coming again, it felt frightened, I stretched out my bear's paws, and crawled slowly.

One-step... Two steps, but it could no longer crawl, it saw the human come to it, and said a word to it, it could not understand the human man's words, but felt afraid and frightened, and the vertigo caused by the loss of blood made it unable to crawl anymore, and then he felt the heavens and the earth spin, and then he could no longer support his body, and fell to the ground.

The blood of the grinning brown bear lingered in the snow, and the frosty white snow was stained red, and the smell of blood and decay was disgusting.

Nalan Xingtian didn't care about this, he walked up to the grinning brown bear, looked at its weak expression and half-opened eyes, and whispered, "I'll collect my loot." ”

The grinning brown bear's eyes froze there, and the last trace of sparkle lost in the pupils of his eyes remained motionless.

Meloti walked up to Nalan Xingtian and looked at the jungle beast grinning brown bear that was lying on the ground motionless, and was a little incredulous: "We succeeded. ”

"Yes, we succeeded. Nalan Xingtian laughed, and then he made a cross-shaped opening on the brown bear's forehead, and he stretched out his finger to pick it out, and soon a diamond-shaped object was pulled out by him.

He grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and washed the blood-stained crystals clean.

It was an elemental crystal, with earthy yellow elements in the middle of the diamond-shaped crystal, and the volume must have been slightly smaller than the previous fourth-level fire system mid-tier crystal nucleus, but the concentration of the elements was still abundant.

"Haha, we're lucky, this is at least a level 4 or above earth crystal nucleus, and when we go to Oak Town, we will divide the gold coins equally. Nalan Xingtian smiled happily.

"I don't need it? I want more high-level fire crystal nuclei. Meloti shook her head.

"Later, I went to the project town to have a look, and this time the harvest was good. "Nalan Xingtian has put away the earth crystal nucleus.

Then he drew his sword, raised his hands in the air, and slashed at the neck of the grinning brown bear.

The head and body of the grinning brown bear were separated, and Nalan Xingtian did not dislike the disgust, so he took off the deerskin and rope he carried around his waist and wrapped the head of the huge grinning brown bear and put it aside.

Then he skinned the body of the grinning brown bear, and the wave-breaking knife peeled off the gaps and lines of the hair, without hurting anything else, and in an instant, the thick bear skin was stripped off.

Nalan Xingtian looked around, and the witcher who had been slapped by the bear at first was lying in the snow, his chest pierced and dead.

He and Meloti dug a pit on the spot, put two mutilated bodies in it, and buried them gently.

The bright red bear meat was exposed in the snow, and in the dark forest, a pair of shining ghostly eyes roamed around, and Nalan Xingtian knew that it was a jackal in the forest.

The jackals smelled the smell of blood on Nalan Xingtian's body, and they never came closer, nor did they go far, and they roared low, like the moans of dream demons.

Nalan Xingtian tied the buckskin wrapped in the bear's head with a rope, carried it on his shoulder, and walked back with Meloti to the way she came.

The jackals hidden in the darkness saw Nalan Xingtian walking away, and could no longer resist the temptation of blood, and ran towards the bear meat one after another, competing for food.

The rotting leaves are soft, the deserted forest is dark, and the faint phosphorescence of night falls, which is the smell of death.

There was a sound of tearing and gnawing behind her, Meloti frowned slightly, and she didn't look back with Nalan Xingtian, and strode back along the footprints of the road she came.

......

"Nalan Xingtian, don't you feel the sea in the face of a fierce demonic beast like a grinning brown bear just now?"

"There is a little, but many times it is useless to be afraid, so it is better to be brave, you see, in the end, didn't we succeed in hunting?"

"Well, you're right, you can't always run away, thank you, Nalan Xingtian. Meloti nodded.

"Why are you thanking me?" asked Nalan Xingtian.

"Thank you for saving me when the brown bear pounced on me, and thank you for letting me know what courage is. Meloti replied.

Nalan Xingtian looked at Meloti in front of her, this young girl, her eyes seemed to be slightly different from before, and there was more ...... in those blue eyes Firmness.

He then recalled that the girl in front of him was only fourteen years old, although the talent was good, but in just a few days, he experienced the life and death of the people close to him, and encountered such a powerful and ferocious demonic beast, not to mention that the other party was just a girl, and his fourteen-year-old self, the teenager who was guilty of secondary two diseases, would not do better than this girl.

"You have to believe in yourself, you're doing well, Meloti. Nalan Xingtian said softly.

Meloti turned her head to look at Nalan Xingtian, and said after a while: "I've only known you for a few days, but I always feel that you always speak very maturely, as if... It's like an adult. ”

"Yes?, it's just your delusion. Nalan Xingtian couldn't help but sigh at the woman's intuition in his heart.

"Perhaps, my father said, many people may have struggled to be independent since childhood, which has created a maturity that does not correspond to his age, and I guess you should belong to this type of person. Meloti said.

"Growing up in Loulan City, Cincinnati, I was alone when I was very young, and my memories of my family have blurred. Nalan Xingtian said in accordance with Meloti's words.

"Oh, I'm sorry to mention your sadness. Meloti whispered an apology.

"It doesn't matter, what happened a long time ago, I'm used to it now. Nalan Xingtian smiled and didn't care.

The two walked and talked, and after a while they arrived at Timos's cabin in the woods.

When Nalan Xingtian put the severed head of the grinning brown bear in front of Timos, Timos was a little surprised, he listened to the causes and consequences of Nalan Xingtian, he was a little hard to imagine, the two young people in front of him already had the ability to hunt grinning brown bears.
