"Nooo! Grandpa Feng!"
After seeing the old man got smacked away, the young woman's mind was filled with hatred. She stopped running and looking at the black bear with fierce eyes.
"Thwish! Thwish!…" Holding her longbow tightly, she keeps shooting arrows at the black bear. As she keeps shooting, a blackbird with faint blue-lightning materializes behind her.
Feeling provoked, the black bear charge toward her at a breakneck speed.
[First spirit ability: Thunderstorms!]
Holding her last arrow, she yelled out loud the name of her first spirit-skill. When the last arrow is release, she feels extremely weak as all her energy had been drained out of her body.
The arrow shooting through the air just like a streak of lightning. The blue-lightning flashing on the arrow created an illusion of hundreds of arrows made of lightning. The lightning arrow producing thunderous sounds as it penetrates the left eyes of the black bear.
"ROOOAAAARRRRRRR!!!!!" The black bear roared out angrily as it went mad and becoming even more ferocious. In a flash, it arrived before the young woman and opened its jaws full of sharp razor-like teeth before preparing to bit her to shreds. The inside of its mouth was total darkness, just like death itself declaring the inevitable.
'Is this it? Am I going to die here?' She doesn't want to give up, she doesn't want to die…But she has no strength to move, despite how much she willed her legs to move out of the way. Even in front of death's door, she wanted to fight for her life but she was powerless to do anything.
At this moment…
Suddenly, a flash of green light traversing the battlefield only leaving behind faint green light particles in its path. Before long, the figure of a man silently appearing in front of the black bear.
This was none Zhu Dingxiang. A moment ago, he has kept his spirit eyes open for any change in the surroundings while Little White following the scent of blood in the air.
As the scent of blood getting thicker and thicker, Zhu Dingxiang became more concentrated. As soon as the scene of the battle come into view, he jumped down from Little White running to the battlefield first as his speed is faster after awakening the 3 Tails Starlight-Fox bloodline.
After roughly observing the scene, he pretty much understood what has happened here especially the beast in front of him. Zhu Dingxiang clenched his fist as he makes a hook toward the lower jaw of the black bear.
"OOMPH!" The speed of the hook punch is so fast that the air seemed to be distorted and then Kaboom! Zhu Dingxiang's fist rushed upward and shutting its jaw tightly.
The black bear loses balance and takes over 6 big steps backward-looking confused.
[Species: Berserk Demonic Bear.]
[Bloodlines: Mortal-grade(peak).]
[Cultivation: Stage 2 spiritual beast(early).]
[Innate ability: Berserk, Domination.]
[Description: Berserk Demonic Bear, a blood-thirsty beast that always craves battle. Bad-tempered. Recently advanced.]
"So we meet again." Said Zhu Dingxiang, as the Berserk Demonic Bear just wildly rushing at him.
This Berserk Demonic Bear is the same one he has Little White chased out in the previous cave. It must have ranked up after chances upon something special. Though it looked different from before, about 7 meters tall after it stands on its hinds legs but he could still recognize it because of the distinct shoulder scar.
'This Berserk Demonic Bear much have controlled these weaker spiritual beasts with its newly gained innate ability after ranked up…' He thought while looking at the many mindless spiritual beasts attacking without regard for their lives and the human casualties.
'I have indirectly caused them to be in this situation…' Zhu Dingxiang thought to himself while feeling slightly guilty.
"RROOOAAARRRR!!!!!!" Coming back to its sense, feeling the pains from bitting its tongue. The Berserk Demonic Bear roared in extreme rage before entering the state of berserk.
"Sighs…I spared your life before but it looks like a wrong choice." Saying so he rushed forward and confronted with the deadly paw of the Berserk Demonic Bear.
"Boom!" After the fist and paw collided, the surrounding area trembling slightly. Surprisingly, Zhu Dingxiang was pushed back more than ten steps while the Berserk Demonic Bear seems to get even stronger.
"W-wha…!" Zhu Dingxiang was shocked, Why? Because he loses to the bear in terms of physical strength. A while ago he was able to contend and win against a middle Stage 2 Flame Gorilla. However, the Berserk Demonic Bear before him was only an early Stage 2 spiritual beast and was able to overwhelm him with its physical prowess alone.
'Did I get weaker after awakening the bloodline?'
"No, this much be due to the innate ability [Berserk]. To think that it would be so powerful." Zhu Dingxiang muttered to himself while looking at the berserk beast before him. When in the state of berserk, the Berserk Demonic Bear loses all its reasoning and sanity in exchange for 5 times its physical strength.
[Fourth spirit ability: Plant manipulation.]
Many sharp wooden spikes rise from the ground before rushing toward the charging Berserk Demonic Bear. Even though the bear has lost its reasoning and sanity in the state of berserk. However, not only was its strength increase but its primal instinct also got enchanted.
As if sensing the threats from the wooden spikes, the bear raise its paw and smashed them away. While some have successfully penetrated the thick hide of the giant bear but that only makes it even crazier.
"ROAARRR!!!" Roaring once again with its bloody mouth, the Berserk Demonic Bear burned its blood essence as a thick blood-red aura erupted from its body. At this moment the only thing in its head was 'KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL.....!'
As blood was dripping from the half-bitten tongue that was hanging on the side of its face. Blood-red aura and white smoke covered its entire body making the surrounding air looking distorted. The Berserk Demonic Bear making an all-out charge and rushed forward.
Driven by its pure primal instincts and hatred, the Berserk Demonic Bear launched into the air when it was 30 feet away from Zhu Dingxiang. With the momentum of the charge and its body weight, the Berserk Demonic Bear raised its deadly right paw in a swinging motion.
"ROOOOOAAAAARRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
