Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

Chapter 112: Chapter 104: Bear’s Power!!!

“Do you think we can still leave here alive?”

Inside the cave, Gong Jia and Lin Hongwei leaned together, gazing at the faint sunlight slanting inside, looking desolate.

Lin Hongwei tightly grasped Gong Jia’s hand, and solemnly said, “Don’t worry, Jiajia, we definitely can leave.”

Gong Jia softly responded with a sound, observing the Earth Bear sleeping at the cave entrance, blocking the sunlight, and quietly said, “If we are rescued, what is the first thing you want to do after going down the mountain?”

“The first thing…,” Lin Hongwei squinted his eyes, contemplated seriously for a long time, and finally said in a deep voice, “should be to meditate well, train well.”

He turned his head towards Gong Jia, and their gazes intertwined: “If we were mid-level Beastmasters, this situation wouldn’t have happened.”

Gong Jia covered her mouth and laughed softly: “Even Zhuang Jianbai isn’t a mid-level Beastmaster yet; how could we be faster than him?”

“Lao Zhuang is pretty impressive; he said last time that he’s about to break through his Meditation Level, it should happen these days,” Lin Hongwei said.

“Roar…”

At this moment, the sleeping Earth Bear let out a muffled roar, scaring the two into trembling, hurriedly covering their mouths with their hands.

Fortunately, the Earth Bear merely turned over and fell back into slumber, allowing the two to breathe a long sigh of relief.

“Can we sneak away?” Seeing the Earth Bear not completely blocking the cave entrance, a gap on the left still visible, Gong Jia asked in a low voice.

Lin Hongwei frowned and thought for a moment before shaking his head: “The risk is great, the Earth Bear’s sense of smell is very keen, even if we escape the cave, we would be pursued.”

“By then, we would face the wrath of the Earth Bear directly.”

After a brief pause, he sighed and said, “We can only wait for rescue. If no rescue comes, then we’ll think of ways to save ourselves.”

Gong Jia’s brows slightly furrowed: “But… are the rescuers a match for this Earth Bear? It’s a Tier Two Pet Beast.”

“Should be…,” Lin Hongwei’s tone was filled with uncertainty, “as long as there are enough people, a group of Pet Beasts should be able to handle it.”

But when Lin Hongwei remembered how easily the Earth Bear defeated his Pet Beast, he became doubtful about his own statement.

Can they really?

Gong Jia slightly pursed her lips, holding Lin Hongwei’s right hand tightly, looking down with her brows furrowed, voice barely audible, like a mosquito: “If we make the rescuers fall into danger, we’ll feel guilty for a lifetime.”

Lin Hongwei fell silent at once.

Wasn’t he thinking the same?

But when seeing Gong Jia silently sobbing, Lin Hongwei forced a smile onto his face, gently patting her back, speaking softly: “Alright, if rescuers come, if there are many, we’ll help; if few, we’ll tell them to run quickly.”

“Mm.”

The two curled up in the depths of the cave, leaning against each other, whispering, as time unknowingly passed, a large shadow gradually stood up.

The two shut their mouths at once.

“Roar~”

The Earth Bear stretched lazily, letting out a thunderous roar, first looking into the depth of the cave, satisfied to see the two still there.

Then,

The Earth Bear looked around but didn’t see its own cub, letting out a puzzled roar: “Roar?”

The next moment, the Earth Bear suddenly remembered that the Bear Cub had left the cave earlier, wandering off somewhere to play, and reassured itself.

As long as the Bear Cub doesn’t leave this forest or provoke those madmen, it’ll be very safe.

“Roar~~~”

Just as the Earth Bear prepared to lie down for another nap, a familiar roar came from outside the cave. Looking up and noting the still early sky, it nodded appreciatively.

The little cub finally knew to come home early.

But suddenly, the Earth Bear smelled many unfamiliar scents, its nose twitching as it looked ahead.

These scents were mixed with those of the Bear Cub.

The Earth Bear’s eyes widened in shock, realizing a terrifying possibility, started pounding its chest and emitted an oppressive, loud roar: “Roar!”

The terrifying roar startled the two in the cave, trembling bodies clinging tightly together, their fearful gaze cautiously looking at the inexplicably angry Earth Bear.

They dared not make a sound, only blankly stared at the Earth Bear.

The next moment,

The Earth Bear with pitch-black eyes, revealing a fierce look with its massive head, radiating a violent aura, stepped forward out of the cave.

“What’s happening?” Gong Jia cautiously glanced outside.

In the backlit environment, nothing was visible.

“No matter what’s happening, this is our best chance to escape.” Lin Hongwei’s eyes sparkled as he quickly stood up, first tentatively taking two steps forward, keeping his eyes fixed on outside the cave.

Seeing no movement outside the cave, he gestured to Gong Jia, “Let’s go, see if we can escape.”

Gong Jia nodded and followed Lin Hongwei towards the outside of the cave.

As they just walked out of the cave’s entrance, the dazzling and brilliant sunlight poured down, compelling them to block the sunlight with their hands, squinting as they gazed forward—the massive Earth Bear running straight ahead, casting a huge shadow.

And at the edge of their sight, several figures slowly emerged from behind the trees, Lin Hongwei’s pupils constricted, sensing bad news: “Not good.”

Gong Jia followed his gaze, clearly seeing two human figures, exchanged a look with Lin Hongwei, and simultaneously shouted loudly: “Bear!!!”

“Run——!!!”

No matter whether these two were unlucky like them, or rescuers, they must immediately be alerted.

This Earth Bear is absolutely not something two Beastmasters can handle, not even with them included.
