"Daddy, I found it!"

An eleven or twelve-year-old boy in a hunting suit shouted at his father behind him.

They are now in the Alps, in the alpine pastures of a nearby town called "Annecy".

The verdant fields are covered with large areas of natural and pure coniferous forest, with dense woods between the hills.

The tips of each tree are like green arrows standing up, blown in the same direction by the wind, and the individual forms are uniform and extremely evenly distributed, like green patterns that have been infinitely copied.

Under the trees is verdant green grass, but it should not be ordinary grass, but some hardy alpine plants such as edelweiss.

The glacial landscape of the Alps borders this coniferous forest, where white and green come into contact as if spring and winter coexist.

A small stream from the meltwater of the snow-capped mountains trickles downward, and the pure water makes the grass grow exceptionally vigorous, and the animals that grow on this pasture are very delicious and rich in oil.

A group of men with guns on their backs came from one end of the forest, about three or four people.

At the head is a weather-beaten middle-aged man, and every fold and furrow on his face seems to show the difficult years he has experienced in the past.

His name was Leiden, the boy's father, and the owner of this alpine pasture.

He crouched down by the stream and looked at where the boy was pointing.

Between the streams, there is a bone.

The boy reached into the icy stream, picked up the bone, and handed it to the middle-aged man.

Layton took a closer look through the sunlight and nodded, "It's our cow, and it's part of the skull." ”

"Skull?" A middle-aged man beside him sighed, "This is the hardest bone, even wolves can't bite it, what has to be something to bite like this?" ”

His name was Jacob, and he worked in an alpine ranch and was a middle-aged man with a slight fortune.

"What else could it be, Xiongbei." Another said.

His name was Pence, and he was the youngest of the men, and he had only recently arrived at the Alpine Ranch.

"Even bears don't often bite their skulls." Layton slowly stood up, put the bone in his pocket, and looked down the stream.

"Something should be flowing downstream, and the beast should be up there."

Layton took a deep breath and removed the gun from his back, before loading it again.

"Just go straight?" Pence couldn't help but say, "That bear should be not small in size and can move a cow, do you want to call a few more people?" ”

"We've already killed six cows, who knows when they'll have time?" Layton said in a low voice, "There are three of us, three guns, and we are afraid that it will not be a bear?" ”

"I just serviced these guns the other day." "Don't worry about jamming. ”

He took his gun off his back, "I have changed my Minsk 3319, even the skull can blow it to pieces, there will be no problems."

Besides, if someone else kills that big thing, whose thing is it? ”

Pence nodded, obviously understanding this, a bear skin was worth a lot of money even in this era, not to mention that this bear seemed to be much larger than the average bear.

Actually, they haven't seen it either, but recently their ranch has been losing a lot of cattle, so they guess there's a large predator nearby.

In general, if cattle are killed by predators, they will be found nearby because cattle are large and cannot be dragged by the average predator.

But they searched for a long time in the vicinity, and this broken bone was the only thing they found.

This shows that the cattle were dragged away by the trapper, that there are no ligae in the Alps, and that the only hunter with this strength should be the bear.

Layton looked at the boy, "Daniel, you go back and wait first." ”

Daniel was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "I'm going too!" ”

"It's not a playhouse." Layton scolded, "It's already dangerous to let you come. ”

Clearly afraid of his father, Daniel lowered his eyes, but nodded.

Layton turned his head to look in the direction of the stream, "Let's go, let's settle the matter before it's dark." ”

The three men each took their guns in their hands and began to search down the stream upwards.

Danielle had been watching his father drift away from a few friends, but instead of going back, he secretly followed.

The water became more and more turbulent as they went up, and the stream, which was originally only half a meter wide, had now expanded to several meters, indicating that they were getting closer and closer to the glacier.

The temperature here was also gradually decreasing, and soon, the sharp-eyed Pence seemed to have noticed something, and shouted, "Look over there." ”

Layton followed the prestige, and saw a figure with long brown hair crawling there on the stream, not knowing if it was asleep, motionless.

There was no doubt that it was a brown bear.

Layton then raised his spear and aimed it at the brown bear, his eyes aimed sharply at the brown bear, and fired a shot without hesitation.

With a crisp sound, the bullet was fired at the bear, piercing its back with precision.

But the expected roar of the brown bear did not come, but lay there motionless, not even spilling much blood.

Layton frowned slightly, but walked with the rest of the group towards the brown bear.

This is indeed a brown bear, even a very large brown bear, and based on Leiden's experience over the years, with the size of this brown bear, it can completely dominate this territory.

However, the front of the brown bear has been torn open with a large opening, and all the internal organs inside have been hollowed out, and only a skeleton and fur are actually left.

It seemed to have been dead for a while, as the blood had dried up the stream, but the icy environment of the location kept it from completely corroding.

"What can kill this thing?" Pence asked subconsciously.

Layton looked at the bear with a solemn expression, and its head was sunk in a large part as if it had been smashed by a slap.

In this world, there is nothing that can slap the skull of a brown bear, not even another brown bear.

Jacob's eyes searched all around, and as if he had found something, he waded across the water to the opposite shore and climbed a large rock.

It's a back slope, so it's not visible on this side.

As if he had discovered something, his pupils contracted sharply, and his forehead was covered with sweat from fear.

Even out of fear, his body went limp, his feet slipped, and he fell directly off the stone.

Layton and Pence also seemed to notice his strangeness, and walked over with a frown.

"What's wrong?"

Jacob came to his senses, his voice trembling and his eyes full of horror.

"Run, Run, Run!!!"
