In the moment I waited for him to attack, a chill surged within me, and a wave of Killing Intent suddenly rose.
It was as if, after hearing the call for men to strengthen themselves, the fighting blood within me boiled continuously. My eyes filled with a mist of blood; I understood that only bloodlust and violence could stimulate me!
The desire for battle surged through my veins. I needed to find a way to pierce his eyes and release that Killing Intent completely. At that point, he would be at my mercy. Then I could toss him into the pond and let the Crocodile Zombie deal with him while we slipped away!
The Zombie Bear's body was round and robust. As its front half crouched at the edge of the boulder, its hefty rear end fell off, and it kept missing its target. After several attempts without success, it became increasingly agitated.
The Zombie Bear still retained some of its intelligence from when it was alive; it actually hugged the boulder and began to sway side to side, intending to shake us off.
Damn it! If that boulder fell, I would truly be right in front of it... Even if I tried to escape, if I slipped while climbing, I would still be bitten to death by the Zombie Bear.
The massive boulder was gradually shaking violently as this colossal creature embraced it. It seemed to understand how to use the principle of resonance to topple the stone, which filled me with fear. The dagger in my hand felt too short; I dared not approach its mouth recklessly. If it bit me, one of my hands would vanish instantly.
My feet struggled more and more to maintain their grip, forcing me to press tightly against the rock wall. Thankfully, at the moment the boulder tipped over, I managed to climb up in time and avoid falling.
Finally, the boulder was toppled by the Zombie Bear. Just as I lost my balance, I grabbed onto a crevice in the rock wall, my body dangling and swaying like an old-fashioned pendulum.
The injured Zombie Bear lost its balance as well; its body followed the inertia of the falling boulder and tumbled downwards. A loud crash echoed as the stone rolled into the gully, lying across it like a bridge, but the Zombie Bear had vanished without a trace.
That was close!
It was truly close; if it had been agile for just a moment longer, I might have been done for!
"Brother Xia! It fell in! The bear fell in!"
She stood a bit higher and had a clear view. I quickly gestured for her to be quiet: "Don't make a sound; stay steady on top." After all, we still didn't know the exact situation below.
A low roar erupted from the pond as large splashes of water flew up. The sounds of biting and growling echoed dully from the bottom of the gully. The Zombie Bear and Crocodile Zombie were engaged in a fierce battle; the scene was too terrifying, sending chills down my spine!
I gripped the rock wall tightly without daring to relax for even a moment, fearing that either the Zombie Bear or the giant crocodile might leap out while tearing at each other.
From my position, I couldn't see what was happening below at all. For safety's sake, I didn't dare move an inch. I could only rely on the sounds emanating from below to gauge the situation inside.
At first, there was a thunderous roar that shook the ground, followed by the frenzied sound of splashing water. I heard the cracking of bones and even the tearing of fur, which lasted for about half an hour. The commotion in the gully finally ceased; it seemed that the two Dirty Things had determined a victor.
By this time, my arms had begun to swell, likely from hanging too long. I massaged them lightly before jumping down from the rock. Once my feet hit the ground, I rolled forward to dissipate some of the force.
As for why the Dirty Things, both born from the Totem Curse, would attack each other, my analysis suggested it was related to their inherent nature. This nature runs deep within their bones and does not change even in death. When animals are turned into corpses, their instincts are amplified infinitely; thus, in their eyes, there are no companions—only mortal enemies!
I cautiously approached the gully, my fear escalating. My legs felt weak; I was nearly out of energy, and my stomach growled with hunger. All I had was a short dagger, and if danger struck again, I could only climb back up that large tree.
If I hesitated even slightly, it could mean disaster...
The stream downstream had turned dark. The several four-meter-long giant crocodiles lurking in the gully must have mistaken the rolling Zombie Bear for me and were viciously tearing into it.
The Zombie Bear failed to bite me but ended up tumbling clumsily and was inexplicably attacked by the giant crocodiles. Its rage exploded like a grenade at the bottom of the gully.
The Zombie Bear's mouth was not as large as that of the crocodile, but its thick bear paws were no joke. As I gradually discerned what was happening inside, I was taken aback; the two beasts were already locked in combat. The thick fur of the giant Bear Skin concealed any visible wounds, while the crocodile's back had been slashed open by bear claws, oozing black liquid that wasn't blood—no matter how much the stream rushed by, it couldn't wash it away.
The Zombie Bear seemed to have lost its strength, biting down on the crocodile's tail while curling its body tightly.
Neither of these giants had much chance of winning. Ha! What luck to witness such a rare spectacle! It seemed that without needing to engage in a direct confrontation, I could easily take both their lives. One thing was certain: neither the bear nor the crocodile could escape from the gully now. I retrieved my discarded spear and prepared to kill.
With a swift strike from my dagger, I sliced off a chunk of bloody flesh from the crocodile's dark green back. Pain surged through its body instantly, prompting it to bite down on the bear's front paw and violently twist its body as if its teeth were gears turning.
The Zombie Bear roared madly, shaking its head side to side as it clung to the crocodile's tail, trying to lift it and slam it against the gully wall. However, due to the narrow space and the weight of the giant crocodile, it couldn't employ this fighting style effectively. One of its furry front paws was brutally torn away, leaving only white fat behind as black liquid dripped down.
In a fit of rage, the Zombie Bear raised its other front paw and slammed it down onto the crocodile's back with tremendous force. The power behind that strike was formidable; fueled by immense anger, it crashed onto the already wounded spine of the crocodile. No matter how tough those bark-like scales were, they couldn't withstand such an assault.
The bear's claws were sharp; not only did they possess weighty force but also dug into the cracks on the crocodile's back. Those fissured scales instantly turned into a pile of mangled flesh as if a cat had clawed at tender bark.
I imagined that the crocodile's spine must have been severely fractured; who knows how many ribs were broken? It seemed doomed now. Just then, two more two-and-a-half-meter-long crocodiles lunged at me and viciously bit into the Zombie Bear's hind legs. It appeared that these creatures had some sense of unity when dealing with an outsider; their instinctive urge to tear into fresh meat was undeniable.
Due to the narrowness of the gully, the Zombie Bear couldn't turn around quickly enough to counterattack against its assailants behind it; all it could do was kick violently in an attempt to shake off the sudden pain. But this only resulted in more flesh being torn from its hind legs, causing it to howl in agony—a chilling sound.
The stream continued to rush over this brutal and bloody battle as I seized my chance and thrust my spear sharply into each of the two giant crocodiles biting at the Zombie Bear’s hind legs, piercing through an eye each. A surge of hidden energy flowed out from their eyes as they rolled together before soon collapsing into lifeless skeletons!
Before disappearing, the two giant crocodiles clung tightly to the Zombie Bear, rolling and twisting on the ground as if using their last ounce of strength to completely sever the bear's hind leg, which was white and oozing black liquid, devoid of flesh. In their struggle, they tore off large chunks of meat. This time, the Zombie Bear could only emit pitiful groans, lacking any strength to resist. Seizing the opportunity, I quickly searched for the bear's other eye.
The shot pierced through, and the Zombie Bear let out a fierce roar, black smoke erupting from its eyes.
The Zombie Bear stood tall for a moment before crashing down! It was now in a half-dead state, but I was still uneasy. I jabbed the spear tip into the wounds of the two crocodiles, provoking them to continue tearing at the Mountain Bear's hind leg.
The skeleton of the giant crocodile seemed to have completely shattered. When I poked out its other eye, it remained motionless for a moment before a surge of black smoke erupted from it. After struggling briefly, it turned into a pile of bones.
I jabbed at the two black eye sockets of the Zombie Bear several more times and found that it only twitched; only muscles and nerves were still responsive. Clearly, some Killing Intent had not yet been fully released. The Zombie Bear had completely lost its ability to resist, enough to put my mind at ease. Eventually, when the Killing Intent dissipated, it would undoubtedly become a skeleton.
I began to take turns stabbing at the injured crocodiles' eyes. Some remained motionless, but I was not at ease until I released the Killing Intent from those eyes! I lifted a heavy stone weighing a hundred pounds and smashed it down on the skulls of the crocodiles and bear several times. Hearing the cracking sound of bones breaking reassured me completely.
In an instant! The thick clouds parted, and sunlight poured down fiercely. Once touched by sunlight, it didn't take long before those corpses were reduced to ashes!
We finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued our journey into the mountains. As we walked into a dense forest, we suddenly heard a piercing scream; clearly, it was a human voice...
There was trouble; it seemed this forest was fraught with danger!
