After searching for a day, traces of the bloodmaned bear were found in more than one place in the vicinity, but it was never found.

As the sky got dark, Su Xiao had to stop for the time being, picked some branches in a slightly open place and lit a bonfire, and rested for the night.

"Here's this."

Su Xiao looked around, picked a wild fruit with a somewhat peculiar shape behind a bush, and handed it to Lu Meng.

"Thank you, Brother Liuzi."

Lu Meng took it and was about to eat, but was stopped by Su Xiao.

"Wait!"

"You can't eat this."

"You peel the skin of this fruit and rub it on your body, it can repel mosquitoes and insects."

Lu Meng was stunned, put down the fruit a little embarrassed, and immediately peeled off the peel as Su Xiao said, and began to apply it to the place where there was no clothing on his body.

"Brother Liuzi, how do you know this? I don't think I've heard you mention it before. ”

"This ......"

Su Xiao said with a haha: "I only learned about it recently after hearing what Elder Xi said. ”

"Oh......"

Lu Meng looked at the jumping bonfire in front of him, and then at Su Xiao, his face was entangled for a long time.

"Brother Liuzi."

"You really ...... Aren't you afraid of that blood-maned bear at all? ”

"Afraid? Why be afraid? ”

Su Xiao was very strange, the bloodmane bear was indeed powerful, but Lu Meng was too nervous, and he had asked himself many times in the past day.

Seeing Su Xiao say this, Lu Meng didn't say anything more, staring at the firelight and no longer making a sound.

Late at night, the bonfire was still burning. Lu Meng didn't know how long he had been asleep, and suddenly woke up with a shiver.

Looking around, although the campfire provides some light, the places that can be seen are still quite limited, only a few feet.

Listening to the sound of insects in the darkness of the dense forest, Lu Meng hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help but reach out and gently push Su Xiao.

"Brother Liuzi......"

Su Xiao was already in front, and in such a place, it invisibly raised his sense of vigilance, which was already deep in the bone marrow, and he had already woken up when Lu Meng got up.

"What's wrong?"

"Well, I'm a little ...... Inside...... Inner ......"

Seeing Lu Meng's face flushed, Su Xiao was surprised for a moment, and quickly came to his senses.

Today they ate a lot of fruit in the forest, and there was a lot of water, and Lu Meng probably couldn't hold it back at this time. And the neighborhood is so dark, she probably doesn't dare to find a place to solve it by herself.

Su Xiao didn't say anything, got up and led Lu Meng, and found a bush more than half a person tall nearby.

"Brother Liuzi, don't go, you can wait for me outside."

"But you—don't peek."

After Lu Meng finished speaking, her pretty face turned even redder, and she hid in the bushes in three steps and two steps.

Su Xiao waited quietly outside with his back to the bushes, but it didn't take long for him to suddenly hear a scream!

"Ah!!h

Su Xiao was startled, and just turned around to ask what was going on, Lu Meng had already rushed out of the bushes like a little monkey, and the whole person pounced on Su Xiao!

"Brother Liuzi! There's, there's—"

Lu Meng was so frightened that he couldn't finish his words. Su Xiao twisted his head from Lu Meng's embrace with difficulty, and looked at the bushes that were making strange movements.

"Dumb...... Squirting ......"

The bushes swayed for a while, and a black shadow burst out of it.

Su Xiao was a little dumbfounded. What scared Lu Meng so much was that it was a small blue and white snake no thicker than a finger.

The snake didn't provoke Su Xiao and Lu Meng either, and after it sprang out of the bushes, it quickly twisted its body in the other direction and left.

"Alright, it's okay."

Su Xiao softly comforted Lu Meng, who was still hanging on him, and slowly patted her back: "It's just a little snake, it's already gone." ”

"Really, really?"

Lu Meng had already been scared out of tears, and was sobbing, hesitating for a while before getting off Su Xiao's body.

After she came down, Su Xiao glanced at it, was startled, and quickly twisted her head to the side.

"You-"

"What's the matter, Brother Liuzi?"

Lu Meng didn't know why. Su Xiao controlled his gaze not to fall on Lu Meng, and at the same time stretched out his finger.

Following the direction pointed by Su Xiao, Lu Meng looked down and screamed again.

"Ahh

was frightened suddenly just now, Lu Meng just rushed out, and he didn't notice that his pants had fallen off, and his two white legs were swaying barely.

Lu Meng hurriedly squatted down and wrapped his legs around his hands to cover it, and then thought that he was holding Su Xiao with such a gaffe just now, and he blushed unconsciously.

"I didn't know it was going to happen! Brother Liuzi, don't look at it! ”

Su Xiao sighed, stepped into the bushes and picked up Lu Meng's pants. When she was dressed, he took her back to the campfire. After sitting down, he picked up two dead branches and threw them into the fire, making the flames shine a little brighter.

It didn't seem to have recovered from the fright just now, Lu Meng always clinged to Su Xiao, holding the corner of Su Xiao's clothes, and his head was still pillowed on Su Xiao's thigh.

"Brother Liuzi......"

"There won't be any more snakes, will there?"

Lu Meng's voice trembled, and he was a little timid.

Su Xiao patted her on the shoulder and said softly: "Don't worry, the fire is so strong, the snake won't dare to come." ”

"Hmmm......"

Listening to Su Xiao's voice and smelling the smell of Su Xiao's body, Lu Meng gradually relaxed his mind and fell asleep again.

Nothing was said all night.

Early in the morning, Su Xiao stepped on the bonfire and took Lu Meng to continue to look for the bloodmaned bear.

Going some distance deeper into the dense forest, the two soon found a tree that had broken off at the waist.

The top half of the severed tree had a large palm print and a few claw marks at the end. It looks like the tree was snapped with a hard slap!

This is not a small tree, judging by the thickness of the trunk, it is at least a few decades old. Can slap it off with one palm, such a terrifying power......

Most likely, it's the bloodmaned bear!

Lu Meng looked at the broken tree, and his face once again showed a look of worry, and Su Xiao also looked solemn.

Bloodmaned bears don't attack a tree for no reason. Su Xiao checked and soon found that there was an empty honeycomb on the ground.

That's why the bloodmaned bear broke the tree. It must have found the honeycomb on the tree, and was too lazy to climb the tree to pick it, so it chose to break the tree directly.

Following the honeycomb, Su Xiao quickly found a few places that were crawling with ants. This is all caused by the dripping of honey, and the traces are still very fresh, no more than two hours at most.

"It should be nearby......

Su Xiao grabbed the stick in his hand for self-defense, sniffed the smell left in the air, and quickly chose a direction to continue with Lu Meng.

A short time later, a cave appeared in front of the two of them. Before you even go inside, you can smell the pungent stench coming from inside.

"You're waiting for me outside."

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Xiao instructed Lu Meng to go in alone.

"Wait! Brother Liuzi! ”

But before Su Xiao could go in, Lu Meng suddenly stopped him again.

As if knowing that he couldn't stop it, Lu Meng didn't say anything more, only took out a delicate dagger.

"Take this, you can take it."

"Be careful, and if you can't, don't be pushy. I'll wait for you. ”

Lu Meng had no cultivation, so he did not wear a long sword, only this dagger was used for self-defense.

Su Xiao did not refuse, took the dagger, sharpened the stick into a spear, and then put the dagger into his waist and entered the cave with the spear.

The cave was pitch black and smelled of rancidity. Su Xiao frowned, and decisively raised his hand to run the breath, urging the killing intent true fire!

The blood-colored flames instantly illuminated the inside of the cave. At first glance, there was no trace of the blood-maned bear or any other beast, but there were some fish bones in the corner, and some pieces of flesh that were rotten and I couldn't tell what the carcasses were.

Judging from the paw prints on the cave walls and the red mane remaining on the ground, it is almost certain that this is the habitat of the blood-maned bear, at least it has been here for a short time.

"Tsk...... Where did you go? ”

Just as Su Xiao was disappointed that he hadn't found the Bloodmane Bear Himself, a cold scream came from outside the cave.

"Ah!!h

Su Xiao was taken aback instantly! The secret path is not good!
