155: Killing a brown bear

Time seemed to be infinitely stretched; every second became an ordeal, making each day feel like a year.

Finally, in that thick darkness, a massive figure slowly emerged—it was that majestic Brown Bear.

The livestream room instantly exploded.

"Holy cow, it's so huge!"

"Quickly, bring out Lord Logger Vick!"

"This pressure, it's like a monster attack!"

"How can anyone beat this? Even if Tyson came, he'd probably lose!"

The Brown Bear took heavy steps, approaching the tree hollow step by step. With every step it took, the ground trembled slightly.

It stopped abruptly at the entrance, its nose high in the air, sniffing the unfamiliar scent in the air, instantly becoming alert.

Its eyes flickered with an eerie light in the darkness, scanning the surroundings. Its massive body leaned forward slightly, assuming an attacking stance.

Lu Fan's heart jumped into his throat. He tightly gripped the fire starter that lit the fuse, his palms covered in sweat, almost unable to hold it.

His breathing became rapid and heavy, yet he didn't dare make a sound, desperately suppressing it.

Da Hei also felt the tense atmosphere. His body was tense, a low growl coming from his throat, ready to follow Lu Fan's orders at any moment.

The Brown Bear paced back and forth at the entrance, its paws scratching the ground, making dull thudding sounds.

It seemed to be weighing the pros and cons, hesitating whether to advance or retreat. Every moment of its hesitation made Lu Fan's heart race even faster.

Finally, the rich, sweet scent of the honey overcame its caution.

It sniffed again and slowly walked into the tree hollow.

The moment the Brown Bear stepped into the tree hollow, Lu Fan lit the fuse without hesitation.

The "sizzle" of the burning sound was exceptionally clear in the silent night. Sparks spread quickly along the fuse, like a lethal fire snake.

Lu Fan's heart rate accelerated sharply. He stared fixedly at the tree hollow, not daring to blink.

The fuse burned extremely fast, reaching the explosives in an instant.

With a loud "Boom," the earth shook, and the explosives around the tree hollow detonated simultaneously.

The powerful impact sent dirt, rocks, and branches flying everywhere. The flash of fire instantly lit up the dark night sky.

The Brown Bear let out a painful scream, dazed by the sudden explosion.

It rushed frantically out of the tree hollow, injured in several places and covered in blood. Its fur was scorched and smoking, its once majestic appearance now looking pathetic.

But the Brown Bear was not easily defeated; its rage was completely ignited.

Its eyes flashed with a fierce light as it frantically searched for the enemy that had attacked it.

Its roar made the leaves rustle, as if it would collapse the entire forest.

Lu Fan knew the real battle had just begun.

He quickly stood up from behind the large tree, holding a prepared Broadsword tightly, his eyes firm and calm.

Although his heart was full of tension, he knew he couldn't retreat even a little bit now.

Da Hei also rushed out at the same time, circling behind the Brown Bear, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

The Brown Bear noticed Da Hei's presence and turned abruptly, its paw swiping fiercely at him.

Da Hei dodged nimbly, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

Lu Fan took the opportunity to rush forward, slashing the Broadsword hard onto the Brown Bear's back.

The Brown Bear cried out in pain and roared, turning again to pounce on Lu Fan.

Lu Fan nimbly sidestepped to dodge, while using a wooden stick to fend off the Brown Bear's attack.

In the darkness, one man and one dog engaged in a thrilling life-and-death struggle with the Brown Bear.

The Brown Bear had immense strength; every attack carried an overwhelming momentum.

But Lu Fan and Da Hei, with their flexible movements and tacit cooperation, dodged the Brown Bear's attacks time and again, looking for chances to strike back.

The battle reached a fever pitch. Both Lu Fan and Da Hei were exhausted, but they still gritted their teeth and persisted, refusing to give up.

The Brown Bear's movements also became slower due to its injuries and the prolonged fight.

Suddenly, Da Hei saw an opening and lunged, biting the Brown Bear's hind leg.

The Brown Bear roared in pain, shaking its hind leg violently, trying to throw Da Hei off.

Seeing this, Lu Fan immediately rushed forward, using all his strength to plunge the blade deep into the Brown Bear's neck.

That spot had been torn open by the explosion, and the blade entered without resistance.

The Brown Bear's body swayed a few times, a hint of fear and despair appearing in its eyes.

It struggled for a moment, then crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Lu Fan and Da Hei stood there, panting heavily, their bodies covered in dirt and sweat.

After a long while, Lu Fan slowly walked to the Brown Bear's side and confirmed it no longer showed signs of life.

"Whew, it's finally over..." Lu Fan let out a long breath and slumped onto the ground.

Da Hei also ran over and lay down beside him, sticking out his tongue to lick his hand, as if recounting the hardships of the battle.

The livestream room instantly boiled over.

"Awesome, he actually won!"

"Too exciting! I didn't dare blink the whole time."

"I just want to ask, who else can do this? As expected, our China is the best!"

Great God Lu Fan truly has the air of the Great Emperor Zhiqiang.

After a brief rest, Lu Fan slowly stood up and, with Da Hei, walked briskly toward the Shelter.

The Brown Bear's carcass was simply too massive; it was impossible for him and Da Hei to move it. He had to go back and get Big Horn to carry it, otherwise, they couldn't bring it back.

Along the way, a gentle breeze brushed his face, blowing away Lu Fan's fatigue and tension.

This arduous battle had finally ended with their victory. His mood was incredibly light, as if all the gloom had been swept away.

When they arrived at the Shelter, the horizon was turning pale, and the first light of dawn gently bathed the earth.

An Lan hadn't slept all night, keeping watch at the door, her heart full of worry for Lu Fan's safety.

Hearing the familiar sounds, she immediately rushed out like an arrow from a bow.

Seeing Lu Fan return safely, An Lan's tears burst forth, crystal droplets sliding down her cheeks.

She ran over and hugged Lu Fan tightly without hesitation, as if trying to merge him into her own body to confirm he was truly unharmed.

"I knew you could do it!" An Lan said excitedly, her voice trembling with trust and joy for Lu Fan.

Being hugged so tightly by An Lan, Lu Fan's cheeks instantly flushed, and his heart rate involuntarily quickened.

At this moment, An Lan's softness and fragility were fully apparent in his arms. Her slender waist, which he could almost wrap his hand around, made Lu Fan's heart beat even faster.
