Not far away on the ground, a giant black bear was facing four or five large wild boars.
These wild boars were ferocious and had long tusks, resembling small land tanks.
Several people hid behind trees, watching the standoff between the two sides.
"What big wild boars! Boss, these things would be delicious grilled, much better than the village chief's sheep."
The fatty licked his lips.
"All you think about is eating. With so many wild boars, this black bear is likely doomed."
Hu Bayi shot the fatty a glance, carefully observing the black bear.
"I'm quite curious. It's winter, and animals should be hibernating. Why are they fighting in a place like this?"
Zhang Tian observed the scene, a hint of doubt in his mind.
"It might be because of the yin energy in the mountains. Boss, if we wait here, we might be able to pick up some leftovers."
Hu Bayi smiled.
"That's a good idea!"
Zhang Tian chuckled. The group quietly watched the black bear and the wild boars.
The wild boars were nearly a meter tall, while the black bear was both fat and large.
You know the prototypes for Xiong Da and Xiong Er, right? It's this guy.
Dark and shiny, standing two meters tall when it reared up, and what was most impressive was its body covered in bulging muscles.
The five wild boars had clearly attacked several times. Now they were circling the black bear, trying to wear it down.
"Roar!"
The black bear let out a roar, its massive paws slamming down on one of the large wild boars.
The wild boars were fast and easily dodged.
Immediately after, the boar pack began its continuous attacks.
While Zhang Tian and the others were engrossed in watching, in the snow not far away, small yellow creatures began to clap their tiny hands as they watched the confrontation between the black bear and the wild boars.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
The little creatures made sounds.
Perhaps they were discussing who would win.
A group of little ones looked at the scene with their bright little eyes. In the center, an animal with a white beard was gazing into the distance.
The atmosphere was strangely eerie.
Zhang Tian was unaware of the other animals in the snow.
At this moment, Zhang Tian and his companions were still waiting for the two groups of animals to finish their fight.
"Boss, they're so slow! Fatty is faster than them!"
The fatty complained, watching the animals fight.
"Fatty, don't rush. Look at those wild boars."
Hu Bayi pointed at the pack of wild boars, his voice low.
The fatty's gaze followed.
The next moment, he almost screamed.
"Holy crap, Boss! Those wild boars are wearing down the black bear! The black bear is about to lose!"
The fatty whispered, his voice filled with surprise.
"Ten cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. These five large wild boars are more than enough to take on one black bear."
Zhang Tian was not surprised. If the black bear had been matched in numbers by the wild boars, the boars would have stood no chance.
It was a shame the numbers weren't equal.
Soon, witnessed by everyone, the black bear was brought down by the wild boars.
At the same time, the wild boars were goring the black bear's body with their tusks, and several holes instantly appeared on the bear's body.
The black bear roared in pain.
After an unknown amount of time, the black bear had no more breath, and the wild boars even intended to eat it.
"Boss, isn't it time for us to make our move?"
The fatty was excited.
Such a large black bear, even after skinning, could make a piece of clothing, let alone the meat.
The bear paws were also excellent tonics.
"Not yet, wait."
Zhang Tian waved his hand, and the fatty didn't move. The others were also confused.
"What's wrong?"
Xie Yuchen looked at Zhang Tian. Hadn't it already ended?
"Look at the snow pile not far away."
Zhang Tian pointed into the distance, and everyone followed his gaze.
Xie Yuchen's hearing was keen, and he quickly heard some sounds.
"Little Master Zhang, I think I heard... the sounds of rats?"
Xie Yuchen frowned slightly. Rats near where the black bear and wild boars were fighting?
"I don't think they're rats, but weasels!"
Zhang Tian shook his head, his voice serious.
He had heard some sounds earlier but was not sure. Now, hearing them again, Zhang Tian was more certain that they were weasels.
"Huang Daxian?"
The fatty blinked and looked at the black bear beside them.
"Fatty, don't be so jumpy, you're scaring me."
Hu Bayi looked at the fatty with disdain before turning his gaze to the distance.
"In the folklore of Northeast China, there are countless versions of Huang Daxian. But I never expected we'd encounter something like this so soon."
Hu Bayi sighed with emotion.
They had only just entered the mountain forest and encountered a confrontation between a black bear and wild boars.
And then they discovered traces of weasels.
This was indeed thought-provoking.
"I suspect the black bear and wild boar attack was orchestrated by the weasels."
Zhang Tian said in a deep voice. The intelligence of yellow weasels had always been rumored to be almost supernatural.
Zhang Tian himself had no doubt about this.
"Boss, do we still want that black bear?"
The fatty was reluctant to part with the black bear carcass.
If he could skin it, they'd have a carpet for sleeping on at night.
"Of course, we do. This thing will be very useful in this icy snow. Fatty, didn't you say you wanted to pay more respects to the black bear? Now's your chance, hurry up."
As Zhang Tian spoke, he kicked the fatty forward.
The fatty's face turned pale.
"Holy crap, Boss, you're tricking me again! I can't beat the wild boars!"
The fatty shouted, but the wild boars had already noticed him.
The five wild boars charged towards the fatty.
One could imagine the sight of five small tanks crashing towards you.
"Go Fatty, we believe in you!"
Zhang Tian offered a word of encouragement to the fatty and, with a wave of his hand, led Hu Bayi and Zhang Qilin towards the black bear.
Since the yellow weasels were watching from the side, Zhang Tian did not intend to use any of his techniques.
He still planned to use the weasels to find the tomb, so how could he alert them and reveal his strength so early?
"This black bear must have been delicious. It's almost two meters tall."
Hu Bayi commented, looking at the black bear.
"Second brother, skin this bear. We'll sleep on it tonight."
"Young Master Xie, please cut off some of the meat. We'll need food for the journey."
"Old Hu, you observe the surrounding terrain. Since there are weasels here, I suspect there are graves nearby."
Zhang Tian said, and the others nodded, beginning to act according to his instructions.
The Black Gold Ancient Saber now served as a skinning knife.
It easily peeled off the black bear's hide.
As for killing the black bear, that had nothing to do with Zhang Tian.
The wild boars did it. What business was it of theirs? Zhang Tian was merely a porter for nature.
"Holy crap, Boss, are you done yet!"
Fatty was circling around, and the heads of the wild boars occasionally nudged his backside.
At this moment, Fatty was both embarrassed and in pain.
His speed was incredible.
"Almost done. Didn't you want bear paws? Young Master Xie has cut off two for you."
Zhang Tian said, and Fatty's eyes lit up.
"Boss, if you say that, then I won't be polite! With the motivation of bear paws, watch Fatty leap with confidence!"
As he spoke, Fatty leaped forward with a sudden burst.
Before the wild boars' astonished eyes, his massive form descended.
The next moment, Fatty actually sat and killed a large wild boar with his backside.
Hu Bayi: "!!!"
Zhang Tian: "This is possible too?"
The remaining wild boars, seeing their companion crushed to death by a sitting posture, seemed bewildered.
"Boss, Fatty's punching technique has been upgraded! His backside can also punch now. What do you think, cool or not?"
Fatty's moment of coolness lasted less than three seconds before he grinned at Zhang Tian.
"Cool! But what Tuan Tuan said is absolutely right, your butt is indeed smelly. It stinks a wild boar to death..."
Zhang Tian gave him a thumbs-up.
Xie Yuchen was dumbfounded. Someone was actually attacking like this. It lacked offensive power but was extremely insulting.
Could this be the legendary, long-lost attack method from the heavens in the martial world?
