Chapter 429: Calamity Star 【Winter Moon Loves Sugar, Alliance Master Wishing Everyone a Happy New Year】
The little bear wailed, wanting to turn back and eat the fish.
Slap!
Fang Che mercilessly smacked the bear's head, his strike powerful and without hesitation.
The little guy was dazed, his butt landing on the ground, only to be picked up and stood upright by Fang Che.
"Stand straight!"
Fang Che swiftly drew out a chilling blade, using it to lift the little guy's neck, "Don't move! Behave! Answer my questions!"
The bear was instantly terrified, standing obediently, its hind legs trembling incessantly.
Its black and white eyes reflected fear, and it wailed pitifully.
"Speak! How did you get here?"
"Speak! How did you become so small?!"
"Speak, did you lead those venomous snakes here?"
"Speak!"
The bear stared with its dazed, big eyes, looking at Fang Che pitifully, its mouth agape, dazed.
"Waaa..."
The little guy whimpered pitifully.
"..."
Fang Che's interrogation was only half-effective, and he himself lost his momentum.
Am I being an idiot, talking to a bear?
But this situation was eerie and uncanny.
This bear was undoubtedly the same one he had encountered in the Incubation to Divinity Program at the Only Righteous Sect, and it had even gained numerous benefits from him.
At the very least, Fang Che had witnessed this bear shedding its fur several times!
And that black bear back then, without exaggeration, weighed at least eight to nine hundred jin, and after its final metamorphosis, it exceeded a thousand jin.
But now...
A juvenile state of just over ten jin? Even a newborn bear would be bigger than this, right?
"This fcking..."
Moreover, his encounter with the bear in the Incubation to Divinity Program could be considered a coincidence.
But to meet this same bear in the Yin Yang Realm was no coincidence!
This was not a coincidence!
And this time, it was undoubtedly this bear that found him!
But how did it find him? This world was so vast, and this little guy, who seemed to have just emerged from its mother's womb, managed to find him with such precision?
And what about this swarm of snakes and insects?
The little bear stood pitifully, confused, afraid, and chirping, its face filled with misery.
It dared not move, yet it couldn't stand still.
It sat down, then hurriedly stood up again.
Tears welled up in its eyes, rolling back and forth.
It didn't understand why the kind person it had finally found was so harsh towards it.
I like you so much, and I love being by your side. Don't you like me? You're the person I'm closest to.
Seeing Fang Che finish his contemplation and look down at it.
The little bear hurriedly sighed, making a pleading sound. Its eyes, filled with hope, looked at Fang Che, tears welling up.
Fang Che sighed, rubbing his temples with a slight headache.
Interrogating this little guy seemed futile, even if it knew what was going on. But he couldn't understand Bear language.
But what now?
Seeing that his demeanor had only slightly softened, the little guy immediately sensed his change and hugged his leg, whimpering, rubbing its head on his leg repeatedly.
Its eyes shone with pleading and longing.
Fang Che was speechless, "Seems like I have no choice but to keep this little thing for now."
He threw out a fish, "Eat."
The bear let out a cry of joy and pounced, biting into it.
It paused, looked back, seemed reluctant, but still hesitantly carried the fish to Fang Che and placed it in front of him. It pushed it forward with its paw, the meaning clear: Let the kind person eat first.
Fang Che almost laughed in exasperation.
Is it trying to bribe me with my own fish?
"You eat it!" Fang Che waved his hand dismissively.
With permission, the bear cried out happily, biting into it, and instantly, juice dripped from its mouth.
As it ate, it made contented sounds, clearly delighted and satisfied.
The little bear, weighing over a dozen jin, devoured a fish of similar size, and its belly became round and full.
"Sigh..."
The little bear pitifully tugged at Fang Che's pants.
"Not enough?"
Fang Che was surprised.
"Sigh..."
"Still hungry?"
"Sigh..."
Fang Che widened his eyes.
This little guy is a foodie.
The fish weighed a full fifteen jin, and the little bear was just fourteen or fifteen jin. You swallowed it whole and are still hungry? Is your stomach connected to the stars and oceans? Fang Che threw out another big fish.
This one was even bigger, close to thirty jin.
Let's see what you can do.
But the little bear finished it in no time, its belly round and full. It patted its belly with its bear paws, making contented sounds, and then it waddled over to Fang Che's feet.
Then it hugged him.
It rubbed its head against Fang Che, and its eyelids began to droop—it was full and wanted to sleep.
Fang Che twitched his mouth, grabbed it by the scruff, and lifted it to weigh it.
Its weight had increased... now it was about twenty-five jin.
But the weight didn't match the fish it had eaten.
Where did the extra weight come from? And would these things in its belly be excreted in half a day?
"I'm going through a life-and-death trial here, and I end up raising a little bear?"
Even Fang Che found it strange.
This damn... situation is truly peculiar.
Fang Che placed the little bear in the room, spread some withered grass for it to sleep on, and then continued working outside.
He set up fire walls around the area, gathered the dead snakes and other creatures, and then pushed them into the lake to feed the fish.
Only then did Fang Che realize how many he had killed during the night.
Hundreds of thousands of pounds of snake and insect corpses were dumped into the lake.
In an instant, fish could be seen visibly gathering from all directions!
Looking from a high vantage point, he saw that within a few hundred feet, the water was densely packed with a black mass of fish.
More dark shadows were rushing in from the distance...
Fang Che observed.
"Next time, I should throw them farther and more spread out."
For now, this lake was like his granary. The more and fatter the fish, the better.
Over the past year, Fang Che had dived into the water multiple times to search for more Water Spirit Grass. However, after thoroughly searching the lake bottom, he found no more of the same Water Spirit Grass.
Fang Che was not disappointed. Such a Heavenly Material was a rare find, and being able to consume it once in a lifetime was already a great fortune.
If one wanted to eat it continuously... that would be a bit too greedy.
Fang Che considered himself not a greedy person. Although he sometimes wanted more, he believed it was a natural instinct, not greed... right?
Especially when he was with the Only Righteous Sect, like with the Water Cloud Heaven Fruit, he subconsciously felt it was a pity for it to fall into their hands...
By evening.
As night fell.
The little bear, which had been playing around on the grass, started to get nervous and kept moving closer to Fang Che. It looked around the dark forest, making wailing sounds.
It seemed to be warning Fang Che: danger was coming!
"This damn trouble is definitely your fault!"
Fang Che was both angry and amused, slapping the little bear, making it tumble.
The little bear stood up, whimpering and wiping its tears.
Suddenly, it stiffened...
A hissing sound came from the distance.
The grass rustled...
Another large batch of snakes and insects was approaching.
Fang Che lit a fire with a flint and ignited the bonfire.
It seemed to have become a target.
The surrounding sounds suddenly intensified.
The stench spread from afar, and Fang Che's Divine Awareness spread out, his mind as calm as ice.
It appeared that many more of those huge snakes, larger than those from the previous night, had arrived today.
Fang Che first took his knife in hand.
That night, it was indeed another night of slaughter. The attacks began almost as soon as it got dark, and the intensity of the snake and insect attacks was much stronger than the previous day.
Moreover, there were many more giant pythons, with barrel-size and tub-size bodies, totaling hundreds of them.
Fang Che, who was only at the Third Rank General level, continued to fight without any elixirs for replenishment. After three hours, he was forced to ignite the fire wall he had prepared in advance.
Jumping into the center of the fire wall, Fang Che dove into the pond and took deep breaths.
Fang Che himself hadn't expected that eating the Water Spirit Grass when he first arrived had transformed his body to the point where he could fight in water just as effectively as on land, providing a much-needed break during the intense battles.
For seven consecutive nights.
Fang Che spent his time in relentless combat.
The number of snake and insect corpses he dumped into the lake was terrifying, and he couldn't even count them. At times, he would throw in tens of millions of pounds a day.
Apart from that, he had accumulated over two thousand Snake Orbs and Core Essences from those super snakes, which were as thick as a door frame, sometimes taking them, sometimes not.
All of them were stored in his Spatial Ring.
On the seventh day.
When he saw a dozen giant pythons, each thicker than the house he had built, rushing from the distant mountain top, Fang Che was finally taken aback.
He grabbed the little bear and shook it frantically: "Big Brother! Big Brother, what the hell did you do?! Did you dig up the snake clan's ancestral grave?"
The little bear's short and plump body almost fell apart from the shaking.
Its big eyes looked at Fang Che, completely bewildered.
No matter how you asked, it just had a look of "I don't know" on its face.
Fang Che was at a loss. Watching the dozen super giant pythons rushing like a mountain collapse, his face twisted in fear.
It seemed his little home couldn't be saved.
Each of these giant pythons weighed at least tens of thousands of pounds.
How the hell could he fight them?
Their scales were larger than a washbasin and twice as thick as a finger, so solid that even a heavy hammer could only leave a white spot.
Fang Che, though he felt he was pretty formidable, knew he was no match for these giant pythons.
The giant snakes moved at an incredible speed.
Rumbling down from the mountain top, they flattened countless boulders and snapped hug-size trees in half, causing the earth to shake. In an instant, they had descended from the distant mountain.
Rolling smoke and dust approached Fang Che's small house.
Fang Che bared his teeth and glared at the little bear.
"I'm being ruined by you, having to abandon my home in such a miserable way..."
The little bear whimpered and happily hugged his leg.
