Xu An watched the charging giant bear. After a moment of hesitation, she pressed the detonator the instant the bear was about to grab the cub.
"Rumble!"
Following a violent explosion, no one could clearly see Xu An's movements.
But after the smoke cleared, they faintly saw the figures of the four cubs in Xu An's arms.
Only then did everyone understand why Xu An had tied ropes to the cubs; it was to pull them all out a second before the explosion, avoiding accidental injury.
When Xu An planted the bombs, she had calculated the dosage. These bombs could at most cause the cave to collapse and would not cause significant harm to the giant bear.
As expected, the next moment.
The giant bear struggled and emerged from the collapsed ruins.
The enraged giant bear, upon seeing the sunlight outside, froze for a moment, instinctively wanting to retreat back into the cave.
But the moment the bear turned, it saw the cubs in Xu An's arms blinking at it.
The giant bear roared to the sky, as if in turmoil.
The commotion here also alerted Zhou Haimei.
The moment the cave collapsed, Zhou Haimei, along with Guan Shan, had rushed to Xu An's side.
Both of them charged towards the giant bear and immediately saw the four cubs Xu An was holding.
Zhou Haimei looked at the little ones in Xu An's arms, speechless, and asked incredulously, "You're not planning to take these little guys back to raise them, are you?"
Xu An looked at the little ones in her arms and a smile touched her lips, "Keep them. Consider them emergency rations."
But these little guys seemed to understand Xu An's words. Upon hearing the words "emergency rations," they clearly became unhappy and patted Xu An's arm with their soft little faces.
The audience watching on the screen exclaimed, "So cute."
They had completely forgotten that their parents were right in front of Xu An, roaring and wanting to kill them.
Zhou Haimei understood Xu An's thoughts from her posture.
However, looking at the giant bear's attitude.
'I'm afraid taking these little ones won't be easy.'
"If we try to take these little cubs and run, this bear will probably chase us. But for some reason, this bear seems to fear the sunlight a bit," Zhou Haimei said, glancing around the environment as if planning an escape route.
As soon as she finished speaking, four cubs were thrust into Zhou Haimei's arms.
Xu An stretched her limbs.
"Who said we were running!"
Almost as soon as the words left her mouth, Xu An drew her long saber and charged at the giant bear.
She stepped on the bear's joint and climbed onto its back.
Last time, Xu An had discovered that the giant bear's weakness seemed to be its nape.
It was just that last time she hadn't applied enough force, and relying on herself alone, she hadn't managed to stab her saber in, which was why the bear had escaped so easily.
Xu An dodged the bear's bites again, sidestepped, kicked the bear's paw, blocked its attack, and then used the momentum to swing her saber.
Soon, the giant bear, which had been invincible in the cave, began to sustain injuries one after another.
"This bear doesn't seem as powerful as it was in the cave," Zhou Haimei commented from the side, then handed the cubs in her arms to Guan Shan.
"Turn around and stand facing away."
Guan Shan, though somewhat confused, did as Zhou Haimei said.
The audience in front of the screen burst into laughter.
"This is like saying, 'I'm going to beat up your mom, you shouldn't watch.' Hahahaha, I'm really dying of laughter. Zhou Haimei is such a formidable figure!"
"The scene that follows is too bloody. Children should turn away and not look, hahaha. By the way, I haven't seen Guan Shan before, he's so handsome!"
"Guan Shan is so obedient. When his sister told him to turn away, he just obediently turned away. Help me, hahahaha."
After entrusting the cubs to Guan Shan, Zhou Haimei drew her long saber and charged directly at the giant bear.
Zhou Haimei's combat experience was far superior to Xu An's.
By briefly observing the fight between Xu An and the giant bear, she quickly identified the bear's weakness.
This bear was very afraid of sunlight. The sunlight made its movements extremely sluggish, and even its reactions were a beat slower.
Instead of using force against force like Xu An, she used her agility to restrain the giant bear's movements from below.
This not only restrained the giant bear but also provided convenience for Xu An, making her attacks more effective.
With Zhou Haimei's joining, Xu An's pressure was suddenly reduced.
She dodged another of the bear's attacks, then, with the force from her left foot, channeled all her strength into both arms.
She leaped up, gripping her long saber tightly with both hands, and fiercely thrust it towards the giant bear's left eye.
Seeing this, Zhou Haimei did the same, thrusting towards the giant bear's other eye.
The two, one on the left and one on the right, completely surrounded the giant bear.
The giant bear's eyeballs were thoroughly pierced by Xu An and Zhou Haimei. Xu An only stopped when she felt resistance.
She knew she had reached the bear's skull.
In pain, the giant bear went berserk, wildly thrashing its massive body in the air.
Xu An and Zhou Haimei naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity. They raised their sabers and attacked again.
They directly struck the bear, causing its brain to burst!
The moment the giant bear crashed to the ground, Xu An swiftly sheathed her saber and landed on the ground.
As she got up again, Xu An hid her slightly trembling hands behind her back and asked, "Is it all dead?"
Zhou Haimei went to examine the giant bear's corpse. After ensuring the bear was truly dead, she sheathed her saber.
"It's dead."
She looked at Xu An's pale face, walked over, and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Xu An hid her trembling hands behind her back. "I'm fine. See how many points this bear is worth. Let's dismember it here, take the useful parts, and bury the rest on the spot. The smell of blood here is too strong, it might attract other ferocious beasts."
Although Xu An didn't want Zhou Haimei to see that she was exhausted.
However, Zhou Haimei had been partnered with Xu An for over half a year and understood Xu An's every move.
She would definitely know Xu An's current condition.
She refused to let Xu An refuse and directly pulled Xu An's wrist.
As expected, she saw a wound nearly ten centimeters long on Xu An's arm.
