Chapter 14 Battle Against the Earth Bear
Ye Feng's mental perception remained locked on the three people behind him.
They waited in place for about ten minutes, making sure Ye Feng and his group were far away, before quietly following them. Their actions were very professional.
All three of them are veterans.
Ye Feng withdrew his senses and quickly caught up with Zhao Tieshan.
"Captain Zhao, those three men have caught up."
Zhao Tieshan kept walking, his voice very low.
"The leader should be Sun Hu himself." His tone turned serious. "The other two should be his right-hand men, Ma Hou and Lai San."
"How strong are they?" Ye Feng asked.
Zhao Tieshan touched the scar on his face.
"Sun Hu is a mid-stage Tier 3 warrior, Ma Hou is a late-stage Tier 2 assassin, and Lai San is a peak Tier 2 archer. The three of them have been working together for many years and have excellent teamwork."
Ye Feng nodded, understanding the situation.
Third-tier mid-stage, second-tier mid-stage early stage, second-tier peak stage.
If the five of them were to face off head-on, their side would have Zhao Tieshan, a mid-stage third-tier cultivator, along with Lao Ma, Hong Gu, and A Kun.
We could definitely win, but there's a chance they might escape.
"Captain Zhao!" Ye Feng lowered his voice, "I have an idea."
"Speak," said Zhao Laoda.
"Instead of letting them follow us around and wait to take advantage, we should take the initiative. Let them think that we and the Earth Bear have fought to a standstill, and lure them out."
"Then we'll wipe them all out in one fell swoop."
Zhao Tieshan remained silent for a few seconds, then turned his head to glance at Ye Feng.
Is Ye Feng really that confident in his abilities?
Is Sun Hu, a mid-stage Tier 3 character, easy to kill?
Sun Hu is known throughout Jiangcheng for his ruthlessness and cunning.
They're not that easy to deal with!
"Are you confident?" Zhao Tieshan asked.
"have."
Zhao Tieshan looked at him for a few more seconds, then nodded.
He also knew that Ye Feng's plan was feasible, and this was a rare opportunity!
We must seize this opportunity to eliminate Sun Hu, this major threat.
Fortune favors the bold! Let's do it!
"good!"
He briefly explained the plan to Lao Ma, Hong Gu, and A Kun.
Old Ma and Hong Gu both agreed!
Ah Kun pushed up his glasses and said, "Then I'll be in charge of acting, pretending to be injured?"
"Yes." Zhao Tieshan patted him on the shoulder.
"This child is teachable!"
"You're not good at fighting, so it's only natural that you'd get injured. Just lie on the ground and wait for our signal."
"clear."
Ye Feng and his group of five continued walking forward, but their pace noticeably quickened.
About twenty minutes later, they arrived at a ruin.
Ah Kun glanced at the map on the tablet.
"This is it. The entrance to the Earth Bear's lair is over there."
He pointed to a partially collapsed shopping mall building, "It's in that underground parking lot."
Zhao Tieshan drew his horse-slaying sword.
"I'll go first, the three of you provide fire support."
"Ye Feng, feel free to do as you please. But remember, don't get too close to the monsters."
"Understood," everyone replied in unison.
The five people entered the mall.
The lobby on the first floor has collapsed most of the way, and you can still see the second floor slab mixed with the ruins of the first floor overhead.
Ah Kun led everyone to the entrance of the underground parking lot.
The underground entrance passage was mostly blocked by mud and gravel, leaving only a hole about half a person's height.
There are also obvious scratch marks on the edge of the hole.
"This is it," Ah Kun said in a low voice. "The Earth Bear sleeps in here during the day."
Zhao Tieshan gripped his horse-slaying sword tightly.
"Wake it up."
Old Ma set up the crossbow, aimed it at the cave entrance, and pulled the trigger.
"boom!"
The crossbow bolt shot into the cave entrance, blasting apart a pile of rubble.
The muffled sound of the explosion echoed through the ruins.
The ground began to shake.
Then came a tremendous, earth-shattering earthquake.
The entrance to the cave suddenly exploded.
A colossal creature burst forth from underground.
Its size far exceeds that of an average bear.
It was seven or eight meters tall, with a layer of hard rock armor attached to its thick brown skin.
Its limbs are thick and strong, and each claw is half a meter long.
It was now filled with a furious rage, as if it had been awakened.
"roar!"
With a roar, the stench of blood assaulted everyone's senses.
Zhao Tieshan was the first to rush forward.
The saber whistled as it cleaved through the air as it struck the Earth Bear's neck.
The blade struck the rock armor, sending sparks flying and leaving only a faint white mark.
"Damn it, this shell is really hard!" Zhao Tieshan cursed, dodging the Earth Bear's sharp claws.
Old Ma fired his ballista again, and a thick bolt struck the Earth Bear in the chest, shattering a piece of its rock armor but leaving no wound.
Hong Gu fired three arrows from the flank, all of which accurately hit the Earth Bear's eyes.
But the arrow struck the thick eyelids like it hit a piece of rubber, bouncing off.
Ye Feng did not rush to make a move.
He was observing.
Its spiritual perception unfolded in all directions, analyzing the Earth Bear's physical structure.
The rock armor covered most of the vital areas, but the armor on the abdomen and the inside of the limbs was relatively thin, and the joints were covered only with thick skin without any rock.
And
A system notification appeared.
[Beast detected: Earth Bear (Late Stage 3)]
[Possesses the keyword: Regeneration (blue)]
[Effect: Possesses powerful regenerative abilities; non-fatal wounds can heal in a short time.]
[Killing the enemy grants 500 kill points, and there is a certain probability of looting the associated item.]
Blue entry? Regeneration?
Ye Feng's eyes lit up.
What he lacks most right now is recovery-related keywords.
Both Lingbo Weibu and Shun are offensive and mobile, but their biggest weakness is their lack of recovery ability when fighting a war of attrition.
If he can obtain "Regeneration", his combat power will be greatly enhanced.
This Earth Bear must be killed by him. "Captain Zhao!" Ye Feng shouted, "Its belly is its weak point!"
Zhao Tieshan did not hesitate.
He cleaved the Earth Bear's knee joint with a single blow. The blade shattered the rock beneath its surface.
The power of the single strike caused the Earth Bear's body to tilt slightly.
"Old Ma! Give it a shot!"
Old Ma changed his ammunition, and a high-explosive round hit Earth Bear squarely in the chest.
The shockwave from the explosion knocked it backward, leaving it upside down with its grayish-white belly exposed.
Right now.
Ye Feng made a move.
The purple-colored entry 【Instant】 is activated.
His body vanished from the spot and reappeared a second later above the Earth Bear's abdomen.
With a wave of his hand, he drew his long sword and unleashed a powerful slash.
The blade sliced through the soft skin of the abdomen, creating a half-meter-long wound.
Blood gushed out, splattering all over Ye Feng.
The Earth Bear let out a mournful howl, its massive body rolling on the ground, trying to crush the enemy beneath it.
But Ye Feng had already switched to Lingbo Weibu, and his five clones dispersed at the same time, while his real body retreated ten meters away.
The Earth Bear struggled to its feet, blood flowing from the wound in its abdomen.
However, the muscles around the wound have begun to move and are healing at a visible speed.
This is the blue entry for "Regeneration".
The [Regeneration] effect cast by the late-stage Tier 3 Earth Bear is astonishing.
A half-meter-long knife wound healed in just a few seconds.
Ye Feng gripped the knife hilt and charged forward again.
Zhao Tieshan helped him distract the Earth Bear.
Although it wouldn't cause a fatal injury, it was enough to prevent it from concentrating on dealing with Ye Feng.
Ye Feng roamed the flanks, and every time the Earth Bear showed an opening, he would use his Swift Strike to stab its abdomen and finish it off.
One cut, two cuts, three cuts...
The bear's abdomen was ripped open with seven or eight gashes, and blood was flowing all over the ground.
Although its regenerative ability is strong, healing wounds requires physical strength.
The continuous trauma prevented it from fully healing.
After ten minutes of fierce fighting, the Earth Bear finally gave out.
Its movements became slower and slower, and its roars grew weaker and weaker.
The abdominal wound was too late to heal.
Blood gushed out from more than a dozen knife wounds at the same time, pooling on the ground.
Ye Feng seized the opportunity and thrust his sword over the top of the Earth Bear's head.
The long blade plunged into the Earth Bear's eye socket and out through its brain.
The Earth Bear's body stiffened for a moment, then it collapsed to the ground with a thud.
[Slayed the Tier 3 beast, Earth Bear, and gained 500 kill points.]
[Keyword detected: Regeneration (blue). Consume 500 kill points to plunder?]
"Yes!" Ye Feng agreed immediately.
[Plunder successful! Host has obtained the blue keyword: Regeneration.]
A warm sensation surged from his body, as if something deep within his genes had been activated.
Ye Feng looked down at the small cut on his arm from the gravel.
The wound healed within seconds, leaving no scar.
The blue entry is "Regeneration."
I got it.
Ye Feng's lips curled up, but he quickly suppressed it.
Because, in my mental perception, those three people moved.
