Chapter 6: The Dominant Bear Mother

Every move and technique, every punch and kick, is simple and unadorned, yet it contains an astonishing and overwhelming power that can move mountains and overturn seas

Just when Ye Qingshan was lamenting that the foreign monk was about to meet his end on the spot, the monk's subsequent actions completely shocked Ye Qingshan

He recognized that the monk before him was quite extraordinary, and the strength he displayed had completely overturned Ye Qingshan's previous worldview

If this palm strike is executed, even if the monk's head is solid and not crushed, he will still be forced into the cavity!

Ye Qingshan has read many poems and verses, among which there is a line describing Xiang Wang as possessing the strength to lift mountains and the spirit to overshadow the world. Ye Qingshan has always doubted that anyone in the world could possess such terrifying power, but after seeing the monk before him, Ye Qingshan believed!

This scene was keenly captured by the Snow Wolf King, whose dark beastly eyes suddenly brightened, darting out like a sharp sword in an instant. The speed of the Snow Wolf King was too fast for Ye Qingshan to react; the grayish-white Snow Wolf King left behind only a trail of afterimages, accompanied by the sound of silent thuds, as the figure of the opponent vanished from Ye Qingshan's sight in an instant

However, Ye Qingshan is unable to help the other party; he himself is merely a two-month-old cub, unable to control his own life and death, so how can he assist others

Roar

The enormous bear paw, resembling a grinding stone, struck the waist of the snow wolf king in an instant, carrying with it a terrifying force and a howling gale

It is important to note that this is a wolf the size of a calf. Although it may not be as strong as a lion or a tiger, it is comparable in size to an average lioness. Yet, astonishingly, it managed to kill two snow wolves in an instant

The formidable prowess of the monk left Ye Qingshan both astonished and filled with a sense of admiration, yet the monk also paid a price for his extraordinary abilities

With a swift turn, the rampaging jungle overlord charged directly towards the monk. The bear's paw, which had just sent the Snow Wolf King flying with a single strike, was raised high once more, infused with the might of wind and thunder. The fierce bear mother was as formidable as a prehistoric beast, striking fiercely at the monk's head.

However, the monk before him astonishingly smashed through the heads of two snow wolves, each the size of a calf, with nothing but his iron fists, leaving Ye Qingshan in great shock

It waits, much like a cunning and seasoned hunter, its cold beastly eyes fixed intently on the foreign monk who is battling amidst the pack of wolves, waiting for the monk to exhaust his strength, waiting for the opportune moment to strike

However, the bear mother that knocked the Snow Wolf King away with a single strike did not stop

Ye Qingshan once heard a story told by one of his fellow patients, who was nearly eighty years old. The elderly man was quite talkative and had a life filled with extraordinary experiences, from the War of Resistance against Japan to the Civil War, and then to the Cultural Revolution. He had gone through so much in his life, resembling a rich repository of stories. During their time as patients, this elderly man had once recounted the power of a wolf pack.

In Ye Qingshan's understanding, even the world's most outstanding athletes could not match the speed of this monk before him, let alone the fact that the other party was currently running on a meter-thick layer of snow, leaving no trace in the snow

A golden Buddha, standing three zhang tall, abruptly appeared around the monk

Aowu ~

But at this moment, there is an animal that is faster than the snow wolf king in the picture book

As one foot struck the ground, a muffled thunder resonated instantly from the earth, and centered around the foot of the monk, a snow pit shaped like a bowl with a diameter of seven to eight meters erupted around him.

The wolf, a creature with a copper head and an iron tail, has the hardest head among all canids, as their skulls are the hardest bones. This wolf, which is the size of a calf, has not had its skull's hardness tested against others, but it can be assured that even if it is not as hard as steel, it is certainly not far from it

To say that my heart was not moved would be a lie, after all, just two months ago I was all alone. The monk before me is the first human I have seen, regardless of whether he is good or bad, Ye Qingshan does not wish for him to die

While the mantis catches the cicada, the yellow sparrow is behind, at the moment the Snow Wolf King takes action, Mama Bear also moves

That is Mama Bear

The monk gasped in pain, nearly stumbling and falling over.

That was the early period of reform and opening up, when various regions across the country vigorously promoted tree planting, land reclamation, and road construction; this was the main theme of development at that time. However, some remote mountainous areas were unable to implement these initiatives, and the reason was simple: there were wolves.

With the speed of a released arrow, the monk clad in a yellow robe let out a thunderous shout, emanating a golden light from his body, resembling a golden-skinned Arhat. His hands shone with golden brilliance, instantly piercing through the heads of two snow wolves the size of calves.

Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, wherever it goes, the howls of wolves are heard all around

Mama Bear retreated seven or eight meters, a fierce and angry glint flashing in her eyes. Her two massive paws struck the ground heavily, as if an earthquake had occurred, causing countless snowflakes to tumble down. A roar that echoed through the forest erupted like a primal beast!

He is the Wolf King, a snow wolf that is stronger and larger than lions and tigers. With indifferent beastly eyes and a coat of grayish-white fur, he has a minimal presence in the snow. His sharp fangs cut through the warm, humid breath.

A lone monk, with both fists and legs, is unable to fend off the menacing fangs of nearly one hundred wolves surrounding him

With a speed that was in stark contrast to her massive size, Mama Bear charged forward like an armored vehicle, instantly arriving before the Snow Wolf King

The elder once mentioned that during the early days of the reform and opening-up, he led a company of soldiers to a small village on the outskirts of the Qinling Mountains to hunt wolves. They set out with a full company of 120 men, but returned with fewer than two platoons.

The monk finally could not hold on any longer, as a snow wolf bit down on his shoulder. The monk grabbed the wolf's tail and pulled hard, but the snow wolf clamped its teeth down, refusing to let go, and forcibly tore a large chunk of flesh from the monk's shoulder.

It is now rare for anyone to have such a feeling, as these packs of nearly one hundred wolves were either exterminated or dispersed after the reform and opening up.

An elder once said, a single wolf is not frightening. In the 1970s and 1980s, there were many strong young men in the village, and the local customs were quite fierce. If a wolf came into the village, there would be no way to survive and walk out alive.

In just half a minute, the air was already permeated with the smell of blood, both wolf blood and that of the foreign monks. Surrounding the foreign monks lay fifty to sixty wolves, sprawled in disarray.

A single wolf is not frightening; what is truly frightening is a pack of wolves

Therefore, a few wolves, around seven or eight, were not frightening at all during that era. What was truly terrifying was the large packs of wolves, the ones that had already formed established paths. The wolf path, as the name suggests, is the route taken by the wolf pack. These paths can vary in length and width.

Suddenly, the monk let out a loud shout, his feet firmly planted on the ground, and a golden light surged around him in an instant

The Snow Wolf King let out a mournful howl, as if it had been struck by a train, scattering wolf fur all around and being hurled dozens of meters away, crashing heavily into a pine tree as thick as a human waist

The snowy path in front of Ye Qingshan's house should also be a wolf trail, and it should be a very large wolf trail. The nearly one hundred wolves before him should not be the limit.

Thus, these packs of nearly one hundred wolves often exist only in the oral stories of the village elders

Ye Qingshan could not help but admire the bravery of the monk. After killing two snow wolves, the monk did not flee; instead, he gathered his strength and directly pounced on the pack of wolves that were pursuing him

What does it mean for nearly a hundred snow wolves to run wildly together in the snow

The terrifying nature of the visible pack of wolves

With a clang, a sound akin to metal striking metal resonated, and the originally pale face of the foreign monk turned ashen in an instant: with a gasp, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and the three-zhang golden Buddha that had expanded around his body dimmed significantly, yet it did not shatter

Just as Ye Qingshan was lamenting the unfortunate fate of the monk, an unexpected event occurred once again

Click!

However, Ye Qingshan was not optimistic about the opponent, as he was facing a pack of wolves, a pack that already numbered nearly one hundred at that moment, and it was uncertain how many more snow wolves would converge thereafter.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Ye Qingshan had to say that if nothing unexpected happened, the monk before him was undoubtedly doomed

Human strength is ultimately limited; the tiger, as a creature, has been regarded as the king of beasts since ancient times, yet there is still the saying that a pack of wolves can slay a tiger

The small wolf pack consists of forty to fifty wolves, while the large wolf pack can have over a hundred wolves

Perhaps he was tired from running, and the monk ultimately came to a stop. After all, he is a being made of flesh and blood, not a machine made of steel. As a life form, he inevitably experiences fatigue at times

Do not mention a single wolf; even a pack of seven or eight young wolves would not dare to easily enter the village. The rural areas of that era were not like the rural areas of today; there were elderly people, children, and most importantly, young people and strong men

This achievement cannot be described as anything less than valiant, yet around him, there are still forty to fifty wolves glaring at the monk with fierce eyes. Most importantly, not far from Ye Qingshan, a majestic snow wolf is perched there, looking down upon the monk who is engaged in battle.

These individuals possess great strength; they are skilled at farming and equally adept at hunting wolves. With a hoe or a pitchfork in hand, one person can easily kill a wolf.

As time passed, the number of wolf corpses at the feet of the monk increased, while the condition of the monk himself deteriorated further

The foreign monk is on the verge of exhaustion, one-on-one, the foreign monk fears no wolf, not even the wolf king that has been waiting for an opportunity. However, this is not a fair duel arena; this is an endless deep mountain forest, where the rules are filled with cruelty and ruthlessness.

At the moment when the Snow Wolf King was about to pounce on the monk, Ye Qingshan found it incredible that the bear mother, who should have been hibernating, had somehow awakened from her slumber and was quietly standing behind him. While the Snow Wolf King was waiting for the right moment, the bear mother was also waiting for her opportunity.

The thick-trunked pine tree was directly snapped in half, and under the unreasonable brute force of Mama Bear, the Snow Wolf King rolled on the ground countless times, uncertain of its life or death
