48: Chapter 48 The squad was wiped out in an instant.

"A bear! Such a huge Big Brown Bear!"

"How can such a huge bear exist in this world!!!"

"Fire! Fire now!!!"

Seeing the Big Brown Bear burst out from the jungle, the men couldn't help but step back.

The thirty-man squad had split into five teams to surround Divine Phoenix Mountain; this particular team originally had six members, but now only five remained!

Rat-tat-tat!!!

They quickly disengaged the safety on their firearms and opened fire on the man-eating Big Brown Bear in front of them!

The dense barrage of fire poured out like a flood. The Big Brown Bear had appeared less than ten meters away from the group, and hundreds of bullets instantly bloomed into a layer of blood on his body!

"Roar!!!"

The bear's roar was filled with pain!

He never imagined that this group of tiny two-legged beasts could actually hurt him!

"Roar!"

With his formidable constitution, he had only suffered surface injuries and no serious damage, but the intense stinging from the wounds ignited the violence within him!

He moved his bear paws, and his body erupted with power, lunging toward the crowd like a fully-loaded cannonball!

"Quick! Use the grenades..."

"Ah!!!"

The five members of the squad hadn't expected their firearms to be unable to eliminate this massive Big Brown Bear. Before they could make another move, the ten-meter distance was nothing more than a second's work for the Big Brown Bear, which was nearly six meters long and three meters tall.

Letting the massive, enraged Big Brown Bear get close to humans was just like a wolf king entering a flock of sheep; in an instant, the five squad members lost their lives, turning into a pile of remains.

Internal organs... severed limbs and remains scattered everywhere!

Even the firearms on the ground were broken; it was a scene of utter devastation.

The Big Brown Bear stared at the corpses on the ground, his inner rage subsiding a little.

He lowered his head to look at the round, strange things in front of him—these were things from the two-legged beasts' corpses. It was hard to believe that such fragile and tiny two-legged beasts could actually hurt him...

He ate a few mouthfuls of flesh and severed limbs, then suddenly stopped, lifted his head, and twitched his bear nose in the air.

Other creatures were approaching! It was that group of two-legged beasts!

A cold glint flashed in his lightbulb-sized, blood-red eyes...

The scent on this group of suddenly appearing two-legged beasts was different from the previous ones; they must be invaders, and it just so happened that he wanted to feed on this group of delicious-smelling two-legged beasts...

He moved his bear paws and charged in one direction.

...

On the other side of the foot of Divine Phoenix Mountain.

Other squad teams also heard the sudden, intense gunfire and a few booming, massive roars.

Their hearts began to panic.

"Wasn't the plan this time to hunt the White-Feathered Giant Eagle on the mountaintop?"

"Why has a battle already broken out before we even reached the top?"

"What kind of creature could that squad have encountered?"

"Whose squad is that firing? Use the communicator to ask for the situation immediately..."

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a violent roar came from the side!

A massive black-and-white creature appeared in their field of vision and was rushing toward them rapidly!

"Holy crap! A Giant Panda!"

"How can a Giant Panda appear in the suburbs of Jianghai City?!"

The few men who were raising their guns to shoot paused after seeing the appearance of the Giant Panda clearly.

They hadn't expected to encounter a Giant Panda here...

The Giant Panda was their Great Xia's national treasure and held a pivotal status in the hearts of all Great Xia people, so they did not attack immediately.

After a few seconds, when they reacted and saw the Giant Panda's massive size, their hearts trembled!

Only then did they realize that the one in front of them was a Giant Panda the size of a small truck!

"Fire! Shoot now!!!"

Rat-tat-tat!!!

A dense barrage of fire spewed out! It shot toward the Giant Panda's body!

The Giant Panda's constitution was the same as the Big Brown Bear's; the bullets from these rifle barrages couldn't cause any significant damage to it at all.

"Roar!!!"

A spray of blood erupted, and the Giant Panda let out a deafening roar!

The black and white fur on the bear's body stood on end! It was bristling with rage!

Not far from Divine Phoenix Mountain, it had listened to the Big Brown Bear's angry roars and smelled various strange scents appearing in the surroundings, thinking it was enemies invading this place.

But when it saw a group of two-legged beasts, it didn't attack right away, because in its memory, two-legged beasts were quite good and could bring it delicious food...

However, the blood blossoming on its body and the intense pain made the Giant Panda conclude that the two-legged beasts appearing before it were enemies!

"Roar!!!"

With a roar! The erupting aura made the people around tremble in their hearts.

Boom!

A sonic boom sounded; several people were sent flying dozens of meters away by the Giant Panda, their bones shattered throughout their bodies, and they fell to the ground unable to move, quickly losing their breath.

The Giant Panda stopped bristling, lifted its head to sniff, and bared the fangs in its mouth.

This group of two-legged beasts... must have come to snatch... the glowing bamboo on the mountain... Kill the two-legged beasts that snatch the bamboo...

It dashed off in one direction!

On the other side, the animals living in this dense forest also discovered this group of ill-intentioned humans.

The Golden Snub-nosed Monkey troop was no exception.

Upon discovering that this group of two-legged beasts was heading toward the mountain where the Giant White Bird boss was located, they immediately attacked the group!

The Golden Snub-nosed Monkey troop, including the Monkey King, did not possess the formidable constitution of the Big Brown Bear and the Giant Panda that could ignore firearms, but they were primates; their intelligence and the agility of their limbs were far beyond what ordinary animals could compare to.

In the dense forest of tall trees, they used sharp stones to pelt the group!

Since the appearance of spiritual energy, this troop of Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys had become much stronger than before. Plus, staying around the spiritual energy-rich Divine Phoenix Mountain to rest for the past few nights had made their constitutions even more formidable.

These sharp stones were as fast as bullets, and the Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys' accuracy in throwing was very high, all aiming at people's heads.

Before this group of people could even react, their heads exploded like watermelons, and they lost their lives.

...

In the sky, the Jianghai City live broadcast helicopter and the male reporter also heard the roars and intense gunfire coming from the forest below, which were interspersed with faint, barely audible screams.

It made him feel a sense of panic.

"Quick! Fly over and see what exactly is happening!"

Not only was he curious, but the millions of Jianghai City citizens in the livestream were also very curious; they clearly hadn't reached the top of Divine Phoenix Mountain yet, so why was there gunfire so soon...

And this gunfire was coming from all around, right where these squads had separated earlier.

Could it be that all these teams had encountered danger in the dense forest around Divine Phoenix Mountain?

When the helicopter pilot steered the helicopter to the location where the sounds were coming from and the camera zoomed in, everyone looking at the tragic scene on the screen felt a shock in their hearts!

It was actually human corpses one after another, and there were even large amounts of blood, internal organs, and intestines scattered all over the ground...

Through the lens, the millions of Jianghai City citizens felt a chill in their hearts even greater than that of the coldest winter...
