Chapter 04: Slaughter
"Strong one?" The red-haired youth scoffed, but still asked, "Where is the strong one you speak of?"
Go!
Aaron as well, if the upright Noah were to know that he passed the assessment through such means, he would likely come up with some excuse to give himself a thorough reprimand
Do not worry, do not worry. Since I have the courage to bring you to hunt the earth bear, I naturally have a way to deal with it. Based on my long-term research, the earth bear is not as formidable as you imagine; it has a fatal flaw.
Xialidun suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "What a clever strategy, how did I not think of that"
Although the western part of the jungle is indeed the territory of the grizzly bears, Aaron and Shari do not seem to have had much luck, as the two of them have accidentally wandered into the territory of the adult grizzly bears several times
I know where the strong ones are... Please... don't kill me...
In fact, the news about the juvenile earth bears in the Trial Jungle West was also conveyed to Aaron by his predecessor
The three individuals are all dark-haired youths of the empire, though their eye colors differ somewhat
The two individuals exchanged a glance, and in each other's eyes, they saw a flutter of the heart, which led them to burst into laughter together
Even so, the two individuals who escaped from the bear's claws were in a state of utter disarray, having no strength left to continue their exploration
The three excited individuals naturally did not notice Aaron above them, nor did they see Xia Li. Filled with a strong desire for victory, the trio rushed unimpeded towards the dwelling of the bears.
This person is Yego, the jungle enthusiast mentioned by the other two.
I have already told ... ... not to ... ...
The silence is eerily unsettling
The blood stained the originally clear lake water a deep red, a foreboding color that, at first glance, sends chills down one's spine and causes cold sweat to break out on the forehead
If Xia Lan were to find out that she had used such a cunning method to pass the exam at https://www.hetushu.com, she might very well use the excuse of "losing face for the family" to end her own life
Hmm! With a nod, Aaron stretched lazily, turned around, and asked, "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."
As the sound drew nearer, three students dressed in the Sky Knight Academy uniform came into his view
The demon whispers, the angel weeps, the silent heaven, and there is no redemption.
Aaron nodded slightly, quickly climbed up the branch, closed his eyes, and exerted all his energy to circulate the fighting spirit within his body
At this moment, the sky has completely darkened. Looking up at the horizon, the bright moon hangs in the sky, surrounded by countless stars
Thus, upon hearing that the young bears had a fatal flaw, Aaron abandoned the thought of defeating them and instead focused more intently on listening to their conversation.
Since Yego has said this, it must be correct. This fellow's obsession with the jungle is almost perverse, constantly shouting about lizards, long snakes, and ground bears, so it should not be mistaken.
The red-haired youth flicked his right hand, and the spear in his grasp pierced the throat of the pleading individual. "Today, you can sell others' lives; perhaps tomorrow, you will sell your comrades. Someone like you deserves to go to hell"
Gulu gulu
In a certain place in the western jungle, there is a small lake, and at this moment, the entire lake is filled with dead bodies
Aaron looked at the excited Charlie with confusion. After spending six months together, how had he not realized that this guy was actually such a violent person
"... ... Do not kill me." A desperate moan suddenly echoed from the lakeside, breaking the silence of the night.
They found a relatively secluded place, and the two agreed to continue searching for the childhood bear tomorrow, then fell asleep back to back.
"What is a fatal flaw?" The boy with blue eyes asked. Aaron immediately recognized from the voice and the *illustration* that this person was Halle.
Imagine being surrounded by a group of individuals with black pupils, while I alone have blue pupils. Doesn't that seem really cool
But unfortunately, the fighting energy that Xia Lan cultivates can only be practiced by females, which truly makes Xia Li envious.
Blue eyes signify the presence of elven blood within, while brown eyes indicate dwarven lineage
The praised Yego suddenly revealed a hint of sorrow, saying, "Damn the assessment, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have to spend my entire fortune to buy this Mulan grass"
How are you? Has anything happened?
"You really are something, Yego," the boy with black eyes exclaimed, giving Yego a hard pat on the shoulder.
Although Aaron does not think so, Shali is very envious of this
Yes, this is the place, it cannot be wrong
Aaron felt a stir in his heart, and slowly loosened his grip on the longsword in his right hand. He had never been informed by his seniors that the bear from his childhood actually had flaws
The last time we interrupted a grizzly bear while it was feeding, we were chased by the enraged bear for nearly half an hour. If it weren't for the cleverness of the two individuals, they would have long been turned into a meat paste by the furious bear
However, Aaron did not think so; a slight movement in his heart made him suddenly understand.
In the depths of the West, the red-haired youth pondered carefully and suddenly burst into laughter
Slowly raising the long spear in hand, the tip aimed at that beating heart, "Only death is the redemption of the weak"
"Fully recovered?" After coming down from the tree, the voice of Xia Li came from behind.
Milan grass is a type of narcotic herb; when an ordinary person inhales its scent, they will immediately lose consciousness. Its potency is extremely strong, making it particularly suitable for dealing with juvenile bears.
Only a few powerful bloodlines remain, serving as proof of their past existence
Yes, that's right. Yego smiled as he took out several glass bottles filled with honey from his bosom. The amber-colored honey shimmered beautifully in the sunlight, radiating a captivating glow
This fellow has complained more than once about his sister's pair of scarlet eyes, which are as brilliant as rubies
Once again opening my eyes, the sky has already darkened. The afterglow of the setting sun spills into the trial jungle, fragmented by the leaves, casting a mottled light on the ground, resembling a patchwork of flowers scattered all around.
Deep in the West
Then, the boy with brown eyes smiled and said, "Of course, it's gluttony. Young bears are more concerned about delicious food than adult bears, especially honey, which is simply an irresistible temptation for them"
Aaron caught the bread and took a hearty bite, "Thank you."
However, Aaron was quite impressed by Yego's scheme
The red-haired youth drew his long spear and walked step by step into the depths of the west, leaving a trail of blood behind.
Aaron shook his head, then nodded, and repeated the conversation he had overheard from the three people word for word
The moonlight illuminated the lake, and the deep red glow seemed to emanate from prayers of hell. Dozens of corpses transformed the already eerie lake into a scene reminiscent of hell on earth
No, I just want to be cautious; even a juvenile bear is not something the three of us can handle
One has blue irises, one has brown irises, and the last one has black irises like Aaron
"What does it matter?" said the black-eyed youth dismissively. "As long as we can obtain the crystal core of the earth bear, I will pay you back double for the money you spend on the Milansca flower."
"Being greedy for food, what kind of flaw is that?" The last boy frowned in displeasure
Only those with black hair and black eyes represent a pure bloodline within. However, after a millennium has passed, the people of the empire no longer reject these diverse bloodlines; in fact, they even harbor some envy towards them
Aaron also emerged from his hiding place and fell beside Shali
Xiali chuckled awkwardly and said, "I was just saying it casually, how could I possibly take it seriously"
After the three of them walked away, no one came to disturb them again. An hour later, Xia Li opened his eyes and leaped down from the tree
Whoever it may be, come and fight me
This is also the case; having been on the road since morning until now, it is only natural to feel hungry after not having eaten anything.
Aaron rolled his eyes and said, "Senior Shalan will hit you."
Only by understanding the enemy can one defeat the enemy
The boy emerging from the lake had short red hair that was distinctly different, a deep crimson reminiscent of blood, which was quite ostentatious and unsettling
I see, the depths of the West are indeed the territory of the grizzly bear. Is the goal to target the grizzly bear? If that is the case, it truly indicates strength. Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is necessary to make the journey.
However, with the establishment of the empire, the human race acquired a vast empire, and after nearly a thousand years of intermarriage, all bloodlines have been assimilated by the people of the empire
In the hands of the youth, there is a spear approximately two meters long, taller than he is.
The night is tranquil, the moonlight flows like water, and the entire jungle seems to have entered a state of slumber
The speaking youth had his legs brutally broken, shattering them into several pieces
When the time comes, whether to kill or to spare will naturally be decided by the three of Yego
Then thank you. Yegton's face instantly lit up with a smile, and the speed at which his expression changed left Aaron in awe
Do not kill me ... ... I beg you ... ... do not ... ...
I have incorporated the fragrant grass into this. When we encounter the young earth bear, all we need to do is remove this bottle cap and throw it near the young earth bear. It will surely abandon us and eat the honey. At that time, hetushu.com will come into play, and we will naturally pass this assessment
"Please, don't kill me..." The young boy murmured, as if in prayer
Aaron believes that if the bear truly ate that honey, it would inevitably fall into a coma
At this thought, Xia Li could not help but break into a cold sweat
At this point, Yego could no longer contain his laughter, and the boy with the black eyes joined in the laughter as well. Even the usually stern-faced Halle revealed a hint of a smile
The senior has repeated this sentence to him many times, and only now does Aaron have a profound understanding of it
The red-haired youth tilted his head in thought, then shook it and said, "You are too weak; the weak have no right to exist in this world."
Yego, are you sure this is the place
"Hurry up and recover, I'm waiting to fight alongside you," Xia Li said, patting Aaron on the shoulder after laughing.
Generally speaking, the most prominent characteristics of the people of the Empire are black hair and black eyes. However, before the establishment of the Sky Empire, the Dragon Lance Continent was home to a diverse mix of ethnicities, with a considerable number of individuals possessing blonde hair and red eyes, green hair and blue eyes, as well as white hair and white eyes.
"What are you thanking for? Hurry up and eat. Once you finish, we can get to work. I can hardly wait any longer," he said, his whole body already trembling slightly with excitement.
Western fellows, do not let me down
The blood-red lake water suddenly began to boil, and a boy, with his upper body bare and his lower body clad in a pair of ordinary linen trousers, slowly emerged from the lake, taking one step at a time until he reached the shore
Regardless of his thoughts, Aaron quickly finished off the bread in a matter of moments, waving his hand dismissively
I knew you would say that, here. Xia Li reached into the cloth bag he carried with him and threw over a few pieces of bread
Meanwhile, the blue-eyed Harley was also taken aback, "Are you saying..."
The violent killing intent swirled at the tip of the gun, and the air became heavy, making even breathing extremely difficult
