Chapter 1066 - 85: Overlord’s鼎

Chen Wen reversed his grip on the dagger, staring fixedly at the brown bear returning to the shore.

The brown bear’s fur was mostly wet, but this didn’t hamper its movements.

Without a moment’s hesitation, as soon as it got ashore, it immediately charged at Chen Wen.

It wanted revenge!

As a highly vengeful animal, the brown bear acts immediately on its grievances if possible; if not, it waits for the chance to strike.

Therefore, facing Chen Wen who pushed it into the water, this bear chose immediate revenge.

Chen Wen was not intimidated by this creature.

As the brown bear lunged, Chen Wen decisively bent his waist, carefully observing its every move.

Soon, under Chen Wen’s scrutiny,

An unusual motion appeared in the bear’s front limbs, at the joints of its forelegs.

The muscles there were twitching!

Through the [Swift Attack], Chen Wen could see everything clearly, and noticing this, he exerted force in his waist, swiftly withdrawing his upper body.

Only after Chen Wen withdrew did the brown bear belatedly raise its paw, swinging it towards the position where Chen Wen’s torso had been.

Missed?

The brown bear stared at its paw, a bit bewildered.

But soon, in a rage, it lunged again at Chen Wen.

After dodging the bear’s paw, Chen Wen no longer retreated; instead, he advanced actively, raising his dagger to strike.

The dagger moved swiftly, piercing directly into the bear’s side, near the chest.

The bear roared in pain, immediately turning to bite.

It opened its mouth, aiming to bite the pierced spot.

Unfortunately, by the time it clamped its jaws down, Chen Wen’s hand had already withdrawn.

[Swift Attack], the faster the fight, the quicker the moves!

Chen Wen easily evaded the bear’s attack and pierced its front chest with his dagger once more.

Too fast!

Hua Yun watched from behind, somewhat bewildered.

She only saw Chen Wen attacking continuously, while the bear’s movements seemed slow-motion, always a few seconds late, narrowly missing Chen Wen’s body.

A game, purely a game!

Hua Yun thought.

And just as Hua Yun pondered over this, Chen Wen had already thrust his dagger into the bear’s chest once again.

The bear howled in pain.

Yet, its roars lacked the initial frenzy; now, its voice contained fear and intimidation.

The bear was scared.

The continuous injuries had stripped it of the courage to continue battling Chen Wen.

It wanted to escape!

The bear lunged forward abruptly.

Noticing the bear’s movement, Chen Wen curled his lips and swiftly sidestepped, dodging the bear’s rush.

But at this moment,

The bear turned to flee.

Given its speed, if the bear fled with all its might, Chen Wen would struggle to pursue.

After all, the creature was quite fast, and in the woods, it would outrun Chen Wen easily.

If it escaped, with the current injuries inflicted by Chen Wen, it wouldn’t take long for the beast to heal.

At that point, a healed bear with a fierce desire for revenge would pose a great threat to Chen Wen!

Thus, it must be killed here!

Chen Wen knew this well, which is why he sidestepped rather than retreated.

The bear began its getaway.

Chen Wen pursued!

His starting speed outpaced the bear, so almost as soon as the bear turned, Chen Wen was upon its side.

He didn’t aim the dagger at the bear’s vital spots but targeted its hind legs.

Having dealt with the bear before, Chen Wen knew the location of the tendons and ligaments in its hind legs.

And thus, his strike was aimed at immobilizing the bear.

With a swift motion, Chen Wen stabbed his dagger into the joint of the bear, slicing fiercely.

This strike was exceptionally ruthless!

The bear’s body trembled painfully from the attack.

However, it didn’t retaliate.

Chen Wen had beaten its ferocity out of it.

The bear limped, accelerating in a bid to escape into the forest.

Seeing the bear’s choice, Chen Wen gritted his teeth: Run? I’ll cripple both your legs and see if you can still run!

With this resolved.

Chen Wen steeled himself.

He grabbed the bear’s fur on its hindquarters. Since the bear had fattened up considerably, its skin could be pinched up.

Chen Wen pinched the bear’s fur, made a sudden leap, swinging around to the other side of the bear.

He intended to pierce the bear’s other thigh with the dagger.

But the bear seemed aware of this, realizing clearly that if this side were attacked again, escape would be impossible.

Thus, the bear halted abruptly, turning to launch an attack at Chen Wen.

It was going all out!

Seeing the bear’s posture, Chen Wen knew this was its final strike.

Being very close to the bear, retreat was not an option.

Only one choice: Fight!

Facing the bear, Chen Wen spread his arms and embraced it.

Next, he exerted power with both arms, as if turning them into two steel screws, tightly gripping the bear’s body.

The bear’s paw struck Chen Wen’s back for the first time.

But thanks to [Thick Skin] and [Tough], Chen Wen had enough physical resistance.

Clothing of excellent quality prevented the bear’s claws from tearing Chen Wen’s skin.

The bear’s attack had little effect, merely causing Chen Wen brief back pain.

But Chen Wen’s attack was not over!

Braving the bear’s assault, he directly lifted this adolescent bear horizontally.

With its four legs dangling, the bear experienced the sensation of flying for the first time.

Relying on the dual enhancement of [Giant Strength] and [Great Strength], Chen Wen hoisted the bear over his head.

Overlord’s鼎!

The bear, lifted high, struggled violently, and Chen Wen knew he couldn’t hold it up for long.

Thus, Chen Wen aimed at the ground around, choosing a spot with stones, firm and solid, and slammed the bear down hard.

Thud!

With the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground, the bear’s body connected intimately with the earth.

Severe pain erupted from all parts of the bear’s body, causing it to roar in agony.

Behind, Hua Yun had just retrieved her bow and arrows and was dumbfounded.

No?

Did Chen Wen just lift the bear and slam it to the ground?

How powerful is he!

Despite her simple thoughts, Hua Yun grabbed her bow and arrows.

She shouted, "Move aside!"

Reacting to the commotion, Chen Wen quickly shifted sideways.

After Chen Wen moved aside, Hua Yun showed her prowess.

Aiming at the bear lying on the ground, struggling feebly, she drew her bow and fired.

The arrow whistled through the air, precisely entering the bear’s forequarters.

Being quite close, Hua Yun’s arrow nearly buried itself entirely into the bear!

And it wasn’t over.

After the first arrow, the second, and third arrows followed, hitting their mark!

The bear cried out in pain.

It could feel its life was in jeopardy!

If it couldn’t get up, Hua Yun might shoot it to death!

It struggled to stand.

But Chen Wen was not a mere observer.

Chen Wen grabbed the bear’s hind leg, giving it a fierce tug, causing the bear to stumble and fall again.

With the bear having collapsed once more.

The fourth arrow fired!

Whoosh!

Accompanied by the sharp whistle of the wind, the arrow pierced the bear’s chest.

The bear breathed heavily, red foam slowly bubbling from its nose.

Hit the lung!

Seeing this, Chen Wen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly darted aside.

He remained cautious about the bear’s desperate last struggle.
