"Man dies at one time, and at any time he dies. ”

- The Silver Moon Canon

At night, Jiangjunling was exceptionally quiet, and although you could see the campfires of the other campsites in the distance, it was probably because everyone was tired from the day's journey, and there was no sound. Zax fell asleep in the futon early, and after leaving from the cold plug, there were two more carriages in the team, loaded with some necessities, and Zax was now sleeping on a large box.

Jack couldn't sleep, not knowing why. Jenny was lying by the campfire with her mouth saliva, and most of the guards were sleeping, but neither were Sals and Sparrow.

"Master Jack, go to bed early, we have to hurry tomorrow. Sparrow looked at Jack and persuaded.

"I can't sleep. Jack frowned and looked at the two, "Can't you two sleep either?" ”

Sparrow and Sals looked at each other and muttered to themselves, and Sparrow said, "I always feel unsure." ”

"Hmm. Sals nodded: "Me too, it stands to reason that there should be few robbers or anything in the Rhine." But the heart is always hanging. ”

Jack looked up at the sky, there was no moon tonight, because there was a campfire nearby, so it didn't feel dark at first, now look closely, the surrounding forest is pitch black, and nothing can be seen.

"Hiss~" One of the horses suddenly let out a sigh, and then the whole herd seemed to be agitated, screaming and raising its front hooves to break free from the rope tied to the tree.

"There is a situation. Jack stood up with Sparrow and Sals, and Sals casually shouted, "All up!"

Everyone is worthy of being elite, in fact, before Sals shouted, everyone had already gotten up and drawn their weapons. Several guards had also woken Zax out of the carriage and protected him.

"Eighty percent of this movement is a beast, probably a pack of wolves. Sparrow thought for a moment and said that it was not usually the enemy who could make horses so fearful.

"Add firewood. Sals gave the order as he pushed Jack into the crowd, "Beasts are generally afraid of fire, so burn the fire, light a few more sources around it, and light the torches." ”

Several of the guards in the crowd immediately went into action, adding firewood to those who were adding firewood and those who were taking torches. The whole atmosphere was tense, and the horses did not bark under the reassurance of several people, but they were still restless.

"Sals. Sparrow shouted and asked, "It can't be the brute, do you remember when we heard a caravan talking in the tavern?"

"Impossible!" Sals cried out strangely, "how many years have this been, how can it be still alive?

"But you've heard wolves attack a campsite with more than twenty people and a campfire?" asked Spari rhetorically, "and there is no shortage of food this season, unless the wolves are hungry and insane, they must stay away." ”

The two of them were talking about a rumor about General Ridge, many years ago, maybe seven or eight years, when a caravan chatted in the tavern of Angry Horn. It is said that Duke Wharton did not die, because he was unwilling to die in battle, his soul turned into a ghost, and his bones were buried after he controlled a strong brown bear to dig out his own corpse and eat it, and then completely turned into a powerful brown bear.

It is rumored that after Wharton became a brown bear, he gradually lost his soul and became a killing machine that was crazier than a beast, of course, this must be another story made up by a boring bard because there was a brown bear haunting in General Ridge, but it is true that there was a brown bear in General Ridge that often attacked caravans, but later I heard that this brown bear was killed, and it was also said that the brown bear had died of old age, but according to time, the possibility of this brown bear surviving is really not very good.

"Head, do you mean the devil bear Wharton, it's alive, it's not dead, I heard about it the other day. Listening to the conversation between the two, one of the guards asked.

"Where did you hear that?" asked Sparrow, glancing back.

"Tavern!" replied the guard, "it is said that another caravan was attacked three months ago, and I heard that the monster has rarely come out in recent years, but it is definitely still alive! I have also heard that the torch or anything is useless against it, and it is not afraid at all." ”

As he spoke, there was a commotion in the woods ahead, and everyone immediately held their breath. Sparrow quickly drew the axe from his waist and threw it at the place where the sound was made.

There was a muffled sound, and it seemed to hit something and it seemed to hit the ground.

"Whew. A snorting sound lifted everyone's hearts that had just been a little relaxed to their throats.

"What's that!" Jack exclaimed, the child's eyesight is always better than that of the adult, and looking in the direction Jack pointed, everyone saw two faint dark red lights, which could almost be judged to be a pair of eyes, a pair of frightening eyes, but if this is an eye, it is too big and too high, right?

A roar of "!!" came, and everyone was dumbfounded the moment the huge body appeared, even the battle-hardened Sals and Spari felt a burst of fear, and Zax was so frightened that he hid behind the guards and clinged to the carriage. Almost everyone's bodies involuntarily stepped back slightly, and Jack took two steps back in a row, causing him to fall directly to the ground.

It was definitely the biggest creature that everyone had ever seen in their lives, the giant bear had a head the size of a horse's buttocks, its huge body was not much different from that of a horse, and its overall size was probably on top of three horses in terms of weight, and its big scarlet eyes were completely different from the eyes of ordinary beasts, and there were three scratch-like scars on its left eye, which seemed to have been scratched from above the eyes by another beast with its claws.

The most important thing, the most crucial, the most important thing is that this beast has armor on its body! That's right! This beast's belly, chest, shoulders, and upper limbs are actually wearing armor like a human, and it is also hard leather armor stacked with soft leather armor, and the hard leather armor is also inlaid with iron plates!

"Shhh

At this time, Sals also trembled in his heart, the fighting bear, as the name suggests, this is a bear specially trained by the Colosseum to fight with people, during the training process, the animal trainer will do everything possible to stimulate its animal nature, whether it is whipped or how to abuse, first of all, the first point must be to train it to be extremely hateful to humans and not afraid of humans, and this kind of bear was originally grown up in a human environment, there is no fear of fire or anything at all, it will not say that if you take a knife to cut it, it will eat pain and run away, it just wants to fight with you. Another point is that the size of this bear is unheard of.

"Everybody back off, get out of the herd, get behind the herd!" Sals had never experienced such a thing, after all, in a place like the Colosseum, either a madman would take the initiative to challenge, or a slave would duel with a beast for entertainment, and it was the first time for anyone to face each other with such a real knife and gun.

Sals was gambling, the bear in front of him did not attack directly, could it just come to find something to eat, eat two horses and leave? Everyone slowly retreated step by step, although the brown bear did not rush over, but the pace of walking was faster than that of the people who retreated, and as the distance got closer and closer, everyone's hearts were tugging.

"Damn, no wonder it's called this monster bear Wharton, this momentum is even if Wharton is alive and has to hide. Sparrow muttered as he stepped back. The neighing of horses and the movement of struggles were heard, and they almost scared everyone out of their hearts.

"Sure enough. Sals frowned, and the crowd had almost retreated behind the horses, and one of the horses had broken free from the reins and fled, and the whole herd was in disarray, but the brown bear did not look at it, and kept its eyes fixed on the crowd, as if a king were looking at a group of delicate maidens.

"Squeak, squeak. Zax, who was at the back of the crowd, heard a noise behind him and turned his head to look.

"Ahh

However, it was a coincidence or not, and I don't know if it was because of Zax's scream, and at the same time, Sals shouted: "Run away with the two young masters!" and rushed towards the demon bear with his sword.
