Chapter 307 -303: A Narrow Road Meets a Bear
Fang Xiaocao led the way at the front while Hummingbird, carrying Xiaozhou on her back, followed closely, racing against time toward the exit. Although Xiaozhou’s bleeding had stopped, she was still too weak to hurry on her own.
Several times, she nearly passed out.
Fortunately, they encountered no danger along the way.
The bombs that Tom had set up had either been triggered or disarmed by the mercenaries who entered after them; otherwise, just those traps could have been enough to stop their progress.
After relentless traveling, the exit was finally within sight when suddenly, a light “crack” sound came from behind. Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird immediately stopped and turned their heads alertly to look back.
They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion.
“Did you step on something?”
Fang Xiaocao tentatively asked.
Hummingbird shook her head, “It wasn’t me!”

“The sound seemed to come from behind us!”
Before she could finish speaking, “huff huff” panting sounds clearly reached their ears.
Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird turned to look back at the same time.
Next second!
The expressions of Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird drastically changed.
A massive beast came into view.
It was a big black bear!
Moreover, Fang Xiaocao recognized this bear.
The pitiful look of the big black bear, wasn’t that the work of Taotie?
Alarm bells rang in Fang Xiaocao’s mind.
“How did this bear get here?”
“Could it be seeking revenge?”
Fang Xiaocao regretted in her heart.
Why hadn’t she let Taotie kill this bear in the first place?
Indeed, one should not be too saintly!
Now, the evil bear ruled.
And it was a bear that bore a grudge against them.
Thinking of the bear’s vindictive nature, Fang Xiaocao couldn’t help but smile bitterly, wishing she could slap herself and curse, “Holy fool, you harm others and yourself!”
Fang Xiaocao disengaged the safety on her gun, ready to fight for her life against the big black bear.
Although facing such a giant beast, the pistol seemed a bit underpowered, it was still better than a dagger.
“Hummingbird, we have to fight for our lives!”
Fang Xiaocao said quietly to Hummingbird.
Hummingbird glanced at the big black bear, who was glaring menacingly and breathing heavily, and nodded solemnly in agreement.
Slowly, she crouched down to put Xiaozhou gently on the ground, with careful and slow movements, fearing to provoke the big black bear and cause it to lash out.
With Xiaozhou on her back, she had no fighting ability; even if they were to fight for their lives, they had to unload the weight first.
Even though Hummingbird’s movements were slow,
the big black bear still reacted.
“Aow~”
The big black bear roared fiercely, instantly rising on its hind legs.
Its already massive body became even taller.
Hummingbird quickly put down Xiaozhou, “swish” drew the katana at her waist, and aimed it at the big black bear.
Standing upright, the big black bear continued panting heavily.
It started to approach Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird step by step.
Fang Xiaocao raised her gun, her finger on the trigger.
Hummingbird tightened her grip on the katana, her eyes sharpening, as her piercing gaze roamed over the big black bear, searching for a spot to strike.
“Princess Your Highness, you guys go ahead…”
“Don’t worry about me…”
“I’ll stay behind to hold off this bear…”
Xiaozhou said weakly.
Just those three sentences left her gasping for breath.
Her intention was obvious.
She was prepared to sacrifice herself to the bear!
To satiate it with her flesh and blood.
To buy time for Fang Xiaocao and the others to escape.
“Stop talking nonsense!”
“Bears are smart creatures!”
“It won’t let us escape; rather than running, we might as well fight it!”
Fang Xiaocao said with a bitter smile.
Apart from fighting, they had no other choice.
If there were a way…
Fang Xiaocao had considered giving up on Wan Xiaozhou.
To ensure her and Hummingbird’s survival!
Hummingbird nodded, “Princess Your Highness is right.”
“Except by killing it, no one could escape!”
When the huge black bear was a few meters away from them, Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird both shut their mouths and stopped speaking. Fang Xiaocao’s finger tightened slowly on the trigger, readying herself to fire.
Just as the great battle was about to erupt…
An unexpected change occurred!
The huge black bear actually knelt down stiffly!
In front of Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird, it kept bowing again and again.
The sudden move of the huge black bear startled Fang Xiaocao, making her fire instinctively.
With a “bang” the gun sounded!
The bullet whizzed past the scalp of the huge black bear.
The hot bullet plowed a scorched track atop the bear’s head, instantly filling the corridor with the stench of burning hair.
The huge black bear was clearly startled as well.
With a pitiful cry, it human-like stretched out its paws to cover its heated head.
For a moment, the atmosphere turned quite delicate.
In the narrow corridor, a huge black bear, with its paws over its head, knelt on the ground, its bear eyes filled with terror as it looked at the two girls opposite — one with a gun and one with a katana. The majestic creature trembled as if it were being bullied, a helpless and pitiful creature.
Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird exchanged glances.
Their eyes were full of confusion.
Nobody could understand what the bear was up to.
“It seems really frightened?”
Fang Xiaocao blinked and spoke.
Hummingbird nodded firmly in agreement, “Indeed!”
“What is it afraid of?”
Fang Xiaocao hesitated for a moment, then asked.
With a strange expression, Hummingbird looked at Fang Xiaocao, then at the kneeling huge black bear, “It…”
“Seems afraid that we’re going to hit it?”
Hummingbird spoke hesitantly, full of self-doubt.
“I feel the same way…”
Although reluctant to believe it, they had to admit that Hummingbird’s description was apt.
The physical language of the huge black bear seemed to suggest just that, as if it feared being beaten.
“What should we do?”
Fang Xiaocao asked.
“Maybe…”
Hummingbird hesitated as she looked at the huge black bear.
“Go over and test it out?”
No sooner had she spoken than Hummingbird regretted it.
To test? Test what exactly!
With what should we test, our lives?
Fang Xiaocao blinked, looking at the bear kneeling on the ground, continuously bowing, and actually felt a sense of devotion…
Fang Xiaocao took a deep breath, one hand holding the gun, and slowly moved her feet toward the huge black bear.
“Princess Your Highness!”
Fang Xiaocao’s action startled Hummingbird.
She quickly stopped Fang Xiaocao.
“Princess Your Highness, be careful, it could be a trick!”
Hummingbird voiced her disbelief.
This situation…
What trick could there be?
Bears are indeed clever.
But in the current situation, is there really a need for pretense?
The bear could simply make a slight charge and start a brawl, have itself a buffet meal.
Why would it demean itself by bowing like it’s worshiping ancestors, kneeling and continuously bowing?
Fang Xiaocao smiled, “What trick could it possibly have?”
“I’ve never seen a bear bow before eating.”
“I do have an immature thought…”
“Could this bear have been subdued by Taotie?”
