Chapter 580 - 580 Bear Bear Bear
580 Bear Bear Bear
Su Xiaolu looked around. If she could find the baby bear, her guess would be confirmed.
A bear of this size must have given birth to a very large bear. There was no movement around them. Perhaps the baby bear was dead too, or perhaps the bear’s natural instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages had activated. It might still be alive, but it was very quiet and did not make a sound.
Seeing that Su Xiaolu was looking for it, Gui You instructed softly, “Be careful. Even if this thing’s descendant is just born, you can’t underestimate it. Be careful.”
Even a newborn baby might have extremely sharp claws. If it hid in the dark and waited for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, they might be severely injured.
Su Xiaolu nodded and prepared her sword.
They searched for a few meters within the range of the female bear, but they did not see anything. Any further and there would be no traces.
Perhaps it was already far away, or perhaps she was wrong. Anything was possible.
Su Xiaolu returned and saw that Su Chong had already packed up the bear’s claws one by one. He had also peeled off the bear skin. This thing was very tough and difficult to pierce. It could be used to make soft armor. It would be very difficult to make, but it was also really life-saving.
The bear meat had already changed color. It was poisoned and rotten. It was no longer edible.
It would take a long time to skin it. Su Xiaolu moved the grayish-white thick meat and cut it open with a knife. There was still a mixture of blood and water inside.
Was this big bear’s womb?
Perhaps she had missed something the first time? Su Xiaolu decided to find another way.
Not long after, she saw a small thing.
It was something the size of a baby’s fist. It was white. Su Xiaolu squatted down and poked it. The little thing was still alive.
Could this be the big bear’s cub? No matter how she looked at it, it didn’t look like it.
The thing had a long, thin tail, kind of like a little mouse. Besides, the big bear was black.
The little thing was still alive, but it was not very energetic.
Su Xiaolu picked it up and it struggled twice before giving up.
“What did you find?”
Gui You came from behind.
Su Xiaolu showed this thing that seemed to be a bear cub to Gui You. Gui You looked disgusted. “Isn’t this a mouse?”
It was disgusting to look at. He didn’t want to get close at all.
Su Xiaolu held it in her hand and walked to Gui You’s side. “Master Gui You, do you think this is the big bear’s cub?”
Gui You took a look. Its white body was only the size of a baby’s fist. How could such a big bear give birth to such a small cub?
This little thing had a mouse tail. Gui You said without hesitation, “Girl, you’re thinking too much. This is a mouse.”
Su Xiaolu sniffed. The little thing did not smell much. The big bear smelled very bad. It had nothing to do with the big bear, but what if it did?
Animals would recognize their master. Su Xiaolu decided to raise it first. Even if it wasn’t, she wouldn’t lose much.
“I don’t know if this thing can be raised. Where are you going to find milk for it?”
Gui You saw through Su Xiaolu’s thoughts and asked.
Su Xiaolu cleaned the dirt off the little thing and put it in her arms. Then, she said, “Some wild fruit juices are sweet. I’m just trying. It’s good if it can survive. If it can’t, it’s fate.”
No matter what kind of baby it was, it did not look like it had been born for long. Even if its mother took care of it, there was a certain death rate. She wanted to give it a try. It was fate if it could not be raised.
“As long as you’re happy.”
Gui You did not care if Su Xiaolu raised it or not. Anyway, the girl had her own opinions. It was fine to raise such a small thing. How much fruit juice could it eat? She could find a large pile easily. Perhaps the mouse would die before it finished the fruits.
A large piece of bear skin was thinned, weighing more than a hundred catties.
After packing up, the three of them went back together.
When they were far away, Bai Xu and Bai Liu flew over.
Bai Liu looked at the big bear’s corpse with a dark expression. Seeing that she was unhappy, Bai Xu could not help but suggest, “Grandma, should we go and snatch it from them…”
Bai Liu looked at Bai Xu coldly and said, “Idiot. Not to mention the three of them, even if we join forces, we won’t be the little one’s match.”
She was a step too late. When she arrived, she saw Su Chong peeling the skin. She wanted to pick up some scraps, but she didn’t expect to be too late.
The bear meat was about to rot into a pile. It was useless.
Bai Xu lowered her head and she looked around. After a while, Bai Liu urged her, “Let’s go.”
Bai Xu saw a white object and she reached out to pick it up. She looked at the big bear and could not help but say to Bai Liu, “Grandma, I picked up a little baby. Let’s raise it. I can’t say if it’s the big bear’s child or the child of some other treasure.”
Bai Liu glared at Bai Xu coldly. “Stop fantasizing. How could such a huge thing give birth to such a tiny thing? It’s just a disgusting thing bred by the rats in the dark ditch. Look at its long tail, you can’t even recognize this?”
Bai Liu looked at her in disdain and turned to leave.
Bai Xu pursed her lips and a look of disgust appeared in her eyes. She did not say anything and threw away the thing in her hands and quickly followed Bai Liu.
As for the little thing that still had a weak aura, it let out a faint hum, as if it knew that it did not have long to live. It struggled to crawl towards the huge corpse.
It was its mother’s scent.

Su Xiaolu found wild fruits and crushed them into juice. She used a hollow plant as a thin tube and sucked the juice for the little thing to drink.
Because it was sweet, the little thing raised its head and tried its best to drink it.
After taking a few sips, its stomach was already bulging. It looked quite cute. The juice was red, and through its stomach, it looked red.
Su Xiaolu did not tell the others that she was raising this thing. SInce living things could be placed in the Space and this little thing could not even crawl, she made a nest in the Space and let it in. From time to time, her consciousness would sink into the Space to feed it.
When she returned to the camp, she realized that some people had already gained a lot.
There were big birds, eggs, and some beautiful pheasants. There were also bigger wolves like wolverines. These wolves were twice as big as the ones outside.
With a big pot, Su Xiaolu began to refine pills.
She would take 30% of the findings.
Some people were indignant and said that she did not contribute much. Why should she get 30%?
Su Xiaolu did not want to explain. It was up to her.
There were too many animals, so it was indeed not easy to carry them. After extraction and refinement into pills, they would only condense a few small grains. However, after eating one, one would immediately feel ardor and zeal coursing through their blood.
After Zhou Heng’s injured subordinate ate a pill, his hand injury recovered.
Apart from the huge bear they encountered on the first day, the large beasts they encountered later were mostly the size of cows. Their skin was thick and they could be killed easily.
They also met some of the earliest people to enter the forest. Their martial strength had all broken through, but there were also no traces of some people. Thinking about that big bear, some of them should have died under its palm.
