Chapter 1028: Chapter 1037: Two Cowards (Part 1)
The giant bear cooperatively nodded towards Peng Bo and Cui Hua, and even hugged them briefly.
The two stood there, their whole bodies stiffening, fearing that if the bear lost control, they would be crushed to pieces.
The pressure exerted by the giant bear on them was immense.
Even though they had the strength of special forces soldiers, faced with such a colossal creature, they barely felt the urge to resist.
It seemed that if the bear just lightly punched them, they wouldn’t be able to move at all.
"Thank goodness!" The two realized, finding themselves in a cold sweat, "Luckily, it’s the boss’s friend!"
"Otherwise, we’d be gone even before finding the third one!"
Lin Xi stood aside, smiling; indeed, the giant bear not only improved its control over strength significantly in the past two days, but its control over Innate mid-stage aura too, though it couldn’t make ordinary people feel like Lin Xi could, it had controlled it to the special forces level.
However, even if it showed the special forces level, others would likely find it normal.
After all, such a massive body gave a suffocating sense of oppression from the first glance.
After a while, the two finally adapted to the initial shock.
Once they adapted, they became very curious about the giant bear.
They touched here, touched there, like two little children, asking all sorts of questions.
Seeing the giant bear constantly responding to them, the two were even more amazed, indicating that it could understand what they were saying.
It’s worth noting that their conversation wasn’t the simple dialogue you see on TV, and the bear’s response was not simple either.
Instead, the intelligence of this giant bear reached the level of an average person.
The two exchanged a glance, revealing disbelief in their eyes, a sudden thought crossed their minds, "Could it have developed spiritual awareness?"
"The Spiritual Qi in the air is almost like the Secret Realm from before!" Lin Xi didn’t mind the two, while walking towards the smoke direction, he thought to himself, "The only difference is, there are people inside here!"
They were situated in a depression area!
Hence he couldn’t observe how big this Secret Realm was, nor could he tell how many people were inside, was it only the Xiong family?
He vaguely saw the direction of the smoke, seemingly not far from here.
"Hmm?" After walking for a while, he stopped the still curious Peng Bo and Cui Hua, "Wait, there’s someone ahead!"
He maintained caution for unknown places.
The Spiritual Qi in the previous Secret Realm and the Holy Land in London was almost the same as the place now.
There were powerful beasts inside, and now that there are people, does it mean there are mightier individuals?
After all, humans are generally more adept at enhancing their cultivation compared to beasts.
"It can’t be confidently said that there’s no expert above Innate mid-stage!" he thought.
If there is, entering this Secret Realm wouldn’t necessarily be completely safe.
He could handle an aging and severely injured giant bear, but facing an Innate mid-stage human might not be as easy.
As for later stages, upon encountering them, the most rational action would be to flee, without hesitation.
At this point, Peng Bo and Cui Hua finally realized they were in a place like those described in novels.
Previously, they never imagined such places existed in the world.
Apparently, novels weren’t entirely deceptive.
Meanwhile, the giant bear didn’t seem nervous at all, for it believed aside from Lin Xi, no one else would be a match, especially as it had reached peak strength again, even stronger than before.
With lighter steps, the trio and the bear took five minutes to see not far ahead, two people wearing rather peculiar clothing, burning a fire, as if cooking something to eat.
As for the peculiar clothing, it was actually ancient attire.
Ancient attire is generally worn by actors for filming compared to modern people.
Modern people rarely wear ancient attire in daily life, and besides, ancient attire is not particularly convenient for daily use.
Of course, this wasn’t for filming.
"Boss, what should we do?" Cui Hua asked in a low voice.
Because the place where the two were cooking was right on their path out of the depression.
"Go over!" Lin Xi pondered for a moment, then walked directly forward.
The two exchanged a glance, said nothing, and followed, likewise for the bear.
Although the two cooking didn’t look ordinary at first glance, and the two could sense the power of those two was absolutely above the special forces level.
This was discernible from their eyes and the bulging temples on their foreheads.
They had seen similar people like Xu Hong and Wenhai, but those two seemed less prominent.
That would imply these two are stronger than Xu Hong?
"Even the two guarding the entrance are this strong?" Peng Bo and Cui Hua felt immense pressure.
When Lin Xi and his group approached about five meters to the two, the cooking duo seemed to finally react.
They turned to look back, slowly, and upon this look, their eyebrows furrowed, "Who are you?"
During this entire time, they lacked a cautious look, but carried a touch of arrogance and disdain.
Yet upon seeing the giant bear, the two seemed startled, retreating several steps, as if facing an enemy.
With a clang, the round pot was knocked to the ground, pieces of sliced rabbit slid out along with other ingredients.
At this moment, no one had the mind to concern themselves with these.
"What do you want?" Their voices trembled.
Indeed, the oppression brought by the bear was too intense.
Their reaction surprised Peng Bo and Cui Hua, "To think you two are at least at King of Soldiers level, yet you fear a bear that’s only bodywise tall?"
Lin Xi, "..."
He knew very well that the aura the bear revealed was only at the special forces level, while the two in ancient dress had King of Soldiers mid-level strength.
If the bear truly had only special forces strength, its size notwithstanding, it wouldn’t be a match for the two.
"These two seem quite cowardly!" he thought.
Another point was, the two reacted very slowly, otherwise, with their strength, they wouldn’t have noticed only after being so close.
It seemed the people in the Holy Land, despite having high realms, their skills might not match their realm.
Due to lack of fighting? Or other reasons?
As he pondered, those two terrified people turned and ran.
In the blink of an eye, they vanished from Lin Xi and his group’s sight.
Peng Bo and Cui Hua looked, "Boss, letting them go like this, won’t cause trouble?"
Lin Xi nodded, looking at the bear, "Capture them back!"
The bear roared, looked in the direction the two disappeared, leapt forward.
"Boom!"
The entire ground vibrated twice, as if an earthquake occurred.
This was the sound from the bear landing, Peng Bo and Cui Hua could see where it landed was completely sunken in, with several notable cracks on the ground.
"Those two are bound to face tragedy!" They wiped a trace of sweat from their foreheads.
