Chapter 20: To the Cave of the Shadows

Early in the morning, the hunters, who had rested for the night, assembled. Although they were a little tired from the temporary overnight stay, the fact that the mayor would set out with them to hunt the bears still overweighed the fatigue in their hearts.

Since the railcar was built and the sawmill's capacity doubled, the citizens' fear of Li Jianghao has changed greatly. Some nervous citizens even feel that no matter whether the mayor is a human or a ghost, as long as his sincerity can bring them benefits and a sense of security, they can accept it.

Li Jianghao did not carry the flaming sword with him, but wrapped the flange sword and carried it on his back, carrying a pair of short knives with him. Explain to the outside world that the Flange Sword was a gift from Andrew to the mayor when the steel mill was built. The short knife was originally made of a wooden hilt, and it even looked like a weapon that could be made by inlaying a blade on a wooden handle.

This caused little reaction to the mayor's new weapon, and some people got drunk and ran to Andrew and begged him to make a weapon for themselves. Of course, these people were finally dragged out of the door to sober up, and after sobering up, they went home to rest.

Together with Li Jianghao's team of sixteen hunters, they took the rail car to the entrance of the low-lying area, and then left at the bell of eight o'clock when people started working.

Before setting off again, Li Jianghao confirmed that the save function of the typewriter was still not unlocked, and he could only set off directly. Before leaving, let Huck and Andrew, who are already able to move freely, keep an eye on the old guy Bernard, and it is indispensable to guard against people, especially since this old guy has a criminal record.

After running for a long time, I turned my head on the vast snowfield and could not see any undulations, only the light emitted by the lighthouse of the camp in the distance, which represented the path back.

Looking ahead, after a period of undulations, there is a depression where the bears hibernate. Because the undulating terrain covers the depression, it is difficult for even sunlight to shine there, and it looks very dark in a snow-white field of vision.

However, Li Jianghao did not see the existence of survivors near the Dark Cave, it seems that they came too early, and the survivors who were besieged by the bears in the Dark Cave in the plot have not yet arrived.

However, after the bears in the Dark Cavern were dealt with by them, the survivors who came here later discovered the guidance of the New London Lighthouse and were able to reach the camp safely.

Regardless of whether anyone brings it back or not, the bear is killed anyway today. Li Jianghao has shouted that he wants people to drink bear soup, and it is best to be able to drink it tonight.

Stepping on the sleigh and heading towards the Cave of the Shadows, the crowd made their way to the Dark. Li Jianghao suddenly felt a tremor from the flange sword behind his back, and a feeling of longing passed down his spine into his mind.

It was as if there was something terrible in the shadows ahead, and the sword behind him was eager to fight the things in the shadows!

When he was about to step into the cave, Li Jianghao asked the hunters to stop and did not venture in. Here, the trembling of the Farne Greatsword could already be seen with the naked eye, and the hunters were a little nervous and didn't care.

Only Li Jianghao was silently resisting the battle intent coming from this sword, if he obeyed this force, he would have already brandished the Great Sword and rushed into the cave at this moment.

Reason eventually prevailed, and he was a human after all, and he would not be controlled by weapons.

Li Jianghao asked the hunters to take out the wood prepared in advance, judge that the wind direction was right, clear the snow, and lay the trap.

They set wood on fire and smoke the hibernating bears. Then they hid above the terrain, waiting for all the angry bears to come out of their burrows and step into the traps, and then break them one by one. Of course, it would be even more perfect if the bears were choked by the smoke and suffocated to death in hibernation.

The plan was executed perfectly, but Li Jianghao always had a stone hanging in his heart, thinking about why the Flange Greatsword had such a big reaction.

According to the item's description, the power of the abyss will also appear nearby where this weapon appears. Could it be that there is abyssal corrosion in the dark cave?

That's a big problem, hunters bring weapons, and no matter how fierce the beasts in nature are, they are no match for them. But the abyss, such an unreasonable thing, except for himself, who also has an unreasonable weapon, there is really no one here to fight against.

He silently tied the strap and took out the flange sword.

In a roar, people felt a vibration under their feet, and a giant bear with a size of three meters ran out, directly stepped on the burning bonfire, and roared in anger in a daze. It took a step further, and the trap it had laid caught the bear's limbs, but it was easily freed.

Compared to this behemoth, the black bear that he encountered before could only be said to be a child in front of it. Rare in nature to grow to such a size, its fur is still black, and its mouth is covered with long-dried blood, tangled in hair.

After it, three more bears ran out, their size was normal, and their hair was also black. However, the behavior pattern is a bit rigid, and he does not show anger and other emotions, and he is caught by a trap after leaving the cave, and he does not resist.

However, just the combat power of that giant bear is enough for Li Jianghao and others to drink a pot. The thing was completely unaffected by the trap, and was screaming around looking for who had awakened them.

"Sir, something is wrong with that strange fellow, it has not cleaned its mouth hair at all after eating, which is very rare among bears. We suspect that cannibalism has occurred within these bears, causing the surviving individuals to become insane, or sluggish. ”

The experienced hunters of the hunters made a judgment and waited for Li Jianghao's next order.

Under their gaze, Li Jianghao nodded and asked with a serious expression:

"So, can you still eat it?"

The hunters fell silent, and after a moment, the hunter just now made up his mind and said, "After the high temperature, yes." ”

Li Jianghao turned his head, looked at the giant bear, and raised his hand: "Then do it!" You deal with the three that are controlled by the trap first, and I'll get the attention of the big guy. Be fast, come and help me when it's done, or I'll be eaten by a bear before I get it! ”

After the order was given, the hunters dispersed and watched Li Jianghao jump down with his weapon on his shoulder.

The moment he held the flange sword and decided to fight, Li Jianghao felt as if a teacher was teaching him how to fight against creatures corrupted by the abyss. He believed that even if he lost the Great Sword, these weapons would remain in his soul forever.

This is the most unreasonable part of the system's rewards!

The giant bear spotted the human who had come to face him alone, and without thinking, he roared and ran.

Li Jianghao clenched the flange sword and closed his eyes. When he opened it again, the behemoth was already in front of him!
