After seeing the scene unfolding before them, the middle-aged man with the ring-hilted saber and his group of subordinates were all stunned. They had expected the young man to be sent flying by the Steel Scaled Bear, or even have his head crushed by a swipe of its paw.
But the reality was that the massive Steel Scaled Bear had been sent flying by the bare-handed youth.
"Roar~ Hooo~ Roar!"
After being rammed by Ye Feng, the Steel Scaled Bear crashed through several trees, but it didn't seem to sustain any serious injuries.
It rolled a few times, got up from the ground, shook its massive body, and let out a roar. Disregarding the middle-aged man with the ring-hilted saber and his group, it charged directly at Ye Feng.
"Decent speed!"
Seeing the Steel Scaled Bear rushing towards him, Ye Feng was slightly surprised. After all, the creature was huge, about the size of an adult male elephant, yet its speed was comparable to a cheetah.
Within a few breaths, the Steel Scaled Bear was in front of Ye Feng. It raised its giant paw and swiped at his head with lightning speed.
Ye Feng's eyes narrowed. He still didn't dodge. Arcane energy gathered in his chest, and with a sudden turn, he met the Steel Scaled Bear's paw.
"Bang~!"
A dull impact sound, which even echoed, erupted instantly. Ye Feng was sent flying backward, crashing through trees as thick as his body, and landing heavily in the dirt.
"Big Brother!"
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao ran over, a ball of fire already in her hand, aimed at the Steel Scaled Bear.
"Xiao Xiao, I'm fine! I was just testing how strong my body has become!"
At this moment, Ye Feng quickly climbed out of the dirt pit and shouted towards Xiao Xiao with some urgency.
After all, this Steel Scaled Bear seemed rare, and it was beneficial for him to train his body. He didn't want Xiao Xiao to just burn it to death with a ball of fire or scare it away.
"Xiao Xiao, move aside for a moment, don't attack!"
Ye Feng patted the dust off his body and walked towards the Steel Scaled Bear.
"Oh, okay~"
Xiao Xiao frowned slightly, but seeing that Ye Feng was unharmed, she retracted the ball of fire from her hand.
"Roar~ Hooo!"
Seeing Ye Feng approaching again, the Steel Scaled Bear's eyes turned redder. It let out a roar even fiercer than before and charged at Ye Feng.
"Bang! ~ Bang bang! ~"
"Roar ~ Bang!"
"Bang ~ Hooo hooo ~ Roar…."
"Bang ~ Crackle ~ Rustle…….."
………..
Next, Ye Feng and the Steel Scaled Bear engaged in a series of head-on collisions, fist to flesh, paw to body. The roars of the Steel Scaled Bear, the sounds of impact, and the crashing of trees echoed continuously.
Not far away,
On the side of the middle-aged man with the ring-hilted saber,
"Boss... Boss, who... who is that? Is he crazy? Fighting a Steel Scaled Bear in close combat?"
"Am I... am I seeing this right? Using his bare body to go toe-to-toe with a Steel Scaled Bear?"
"This physical quality is truly—"
Ye Feng let out a soft breath and asked Xiao Xiao.
"Hmm, it's nothing~"
Xiao Xiao shook her head, her beautiful big eyes sparkling, "Big Brother, you're so amazing! Much stronger than before!"
"Good skills, little brother!"
At this moment, a figure approached. It was the middle-aged man with the ring-hilted saber.
The middle-aged man with the ring-hilted saber cupped his fists towards Ye Feng. "Little brother, are you also here to explore the Red Shore Ruins? My name is Li Yidao, with the nickname 'One-Shot Accurate'. Before the Great Cataclysm, I was a butcher. Nice to meet you!"
"Oh, my name is Ye Feng~"
Ye Feng nodded, about to continue walking into the forest. After all, it was still quite a distance to the Red Shore Ruins, and he wanted to go there to kill zombies.
"Little brother!"
As Ye Feng turned, Li Yidao called out to him.
"Something wrong?"
Ye Feng turned around, frowning slightly.
"Uh, little brother, don't misunderstand. I have no ill intentions!"
Seeing Ye Feng glance at the arcane energy firearm in his hand, Li Yidao quickly put it away. He also signaled his subordinates to put their guns away and not hold them.
"Little brother, this Steel Scaled Bear is a treasure. Its meat can strengthen the body, its bones can be powdered to treat bone injuries with incredible efficacy. For ordinary thigh fractures, after consuming it, one can walk within three days."
"Its invulnerable steel scales can be made into clothing that is both lightweight and far superior to bulletproof vests. My Thompson submachine gun couldn't even leave a mark on it!"
Li Yidao quickly explained to Ye Feng.
"Is that so!"
Hearing Li Yidao's explanation, Ye Feng's interest was immediately piqued. He and Xiao Xiao quickly walked towards the corpse of the Steel Scaled Bear.
"Little brother, the steel scales of this Steel Scaled Bear are indeed very hard, but they don't cover the entire bear. They can be peeled off from areas like the mouth, eyes, and nose!"
As they reached the Steel Scaled Bear, Li Yidao's voice sounded again.
"Oh, no need!"
As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in Ye Feng's hand, and his Tang blade materialized.
