Bear Lord Gives Birth

Just as the Golden Spear Squad faced the critical moment of a monster tide, the warrior squad led by Uncle Eagle arrived at a small hill on the outskirts of the city, preparing to enter City No. 012.

After taking a detour, they planned to enter the city from the north, find a high vantage point in the city center, and then search for traces of Xia Zhi and the others.

At that moment, they too heard the earth-shaking roar coming from within the city, along with the tremendous crashes caused by widespread buildings being destroyed.

"What's going on?" Zhang Lei, the elder of the twin brothers in the squad, asked with a frown.

Gao Xiang, who carried twin war hammers on his back, vigilantly took them down and held them in his hands. After watching for a moment, he said to the others, "For a roar like that to cause such a commotion from so far away, even ordinary General-level monsters couldn't do it. Don't know if a War God-level expert is hunting a Lord monster."

"Elder Ying, we'll have to trouble you to send your Iron Feather Eagle to take a look."

Zhang Lei, the younger of the twin brothers, said to Uncle Eagle.

Standing on the hill, Uncle Eagle gazed toward the skyscrapers of City No. 012. In the direction where the crashing sounds had come from, dust filled the sky, creating an apocalyptic scene.

He gently stroked the Iron Feather Eagle perched on his shoulder, which had become startled and restless from the roar.

"Go, Xiao Yu."

The Iron Feather Eagle spread its wings and flew toward the city. An eagle's cry rang out, and it vanished from sight in an instant.

"Stay alert. We're entering the city." With that, he took the lead and rushed toward it.

Inside an ordinary apartment building, Xia Zhi's group quickly rushed into a room on the fifth floor.

Bang! The kicked-open door jammed shut against something.

"Hurry, treat Shi Tou's wound first," Qin Feng said urgently.

"Bear with it."

Liu Yan said to Xu Kui, who lay on the floor. After clearing bone fragments and scraps of clothing from the wound on his left arm, she applied some trauma medicine and roughly bandaged it.

"Shi Tou, eat this and replenish your energy." Qin Feng took out a pill and placed it in Xu Kui's mouth.

The agony of treating the wound made cold sweat stream down Xu Kui's face. His teeth ground audibly, but he did not make a sound. Only after the bandage was finished did he let out a long breath.

"I'm fine. Just a minor injury." Xu Kui's face was somewhat pale from blood loss, but he still smiled. "This time, I really have Xia Zhi to thank. I thought I was going to die there."

"I should have acted sooner." Xia Zhi felt deeply guilty as he faced Xu Kui.

Before he was confident in his ability to protect himself, he had not wanted to reveal his identity as a Mind Controller. After all, what remained unknown was a trump card; once known, it could become a weakness.

"It's not your fault. Hiding yourself for protection while you're still weak is a very wise choice," Captain Qin Feng consoled him.

Xu Kui hurriedly added, "Xia Zhi, Brother Xu owes you his life this time. I'll definitely repay you someday."

"I owe you one too, Xia Zhi. You really are a Mind Controller!" Liu Yan finished treating the wound beside them and tossed aside the bloodstained gauze.

Xia Zhi knew that when he had controlled the flying knives to slaughter the monster pack and led everyone out of there,

his secret as a Mind Controller had been exposed before the squad.

"I'm sure everyone has guessed it already, so I admit it." Xia Zhi revealed a helpless smile. "I'm a warrior, but I'm also a Mind Controller!"

"Haha." Liu Yan laughed happily. "Xia Zhi, I said I'd rely on you from now on. Looks like I wasn't wrong about you."

Smiles also appeared on Qin Feng and Xu Kui's faces.

"A Mind Controller... our Golden Spear Squad actually has a Mind Controller."

Captain Qin Feng smiled and nodded. "From now on, we can strut around these suburban cities as we please. Once Shi Tou recovers, we'll head to the Main urban area and make our way there."

"Haha, ordinary monster packs aren't even enough for Xia Zhi to kill by himself. If we really run into trouble, we can always escape."

Every warrior understood how terrifying Mind Controllers were!

At the same level, warriors would absolutely be swept aside by Mind Controllers!

No matter how formidable your Spear Technique, shield techniques, or movement techniques were, a Mind Controller could stay far away and launch rapid attacks with remotely controlled flying knives.

Flying knives controlled by Mental Power could turn and change direction with a mere thought, and their speed was astonishing.

They could also control multiple flying knives to attack simultaneously from different directions. How could warriors of the same level compete?

After the squad celebrated for a while, Liu Yan asked, "Captain, what do we do next?"

"We'll hide here for now and let Shi Tou rest. Once the monster pack outside quiets down, we'll return to the city." Qin Feng glanced at Xu Kui, who lay on the ground with his left arm already bandaged.

"Shi Tou's injury still needs specialized treatment from a doctor once we're back. We can't let it leave behind complications that affect his strength later."

"Captain, I hope everyone will help me keep this secret. Don't reveal that I'm a Mind Controller," Xia Zhi said at that moment.

"Mm, of course. You chose to let us know in order to save everyone. From now on, this will be the secret of every member of our warrior squad," Qin Feng said solemnly.

"That's right. Don't worry, Xia Zhi."

Every Mind Controller was immensely valuable, enough to provoke competition from all sides. On top of that, there was the looming threat from Li Wei and Li Yao. If they learned that he was a Mind Controller, even stronger assassination attempts might follow.

"My physical strength could break through to the Intermediate Wargod level at any time. By then, my Mind Controller abilities will also reach the Beginner War God level, and I'll initially have the ability to protect myself. Once my body breaks through to the War God level, my Mind Controller abilities will reach the Advanced War God level. At that point, I won't need to worry about that father and son from the Li Family."

Thinking of how Li Wei had repeatedly targeted him, a fierce glint flashed through Xia Zhi's eyes.

He did not know that Uncle Eagle, who had come specifically for him, had also led his warrior squad into this city.

Below a dilapidated apartment building lay one enormous monster corpse after another, and a thick stench of blood permeated the air...

Because of the earlier slaughter, every building within nearly a mile of the apartment building had suffered devastating damage.

"Roar—" Another heaven-shaking roar rang out, thick with excitement.

A giant brown bear stood beside the remaining three-story apartment building, and it was actually taller than the building itself.

Its brown fur was soaked in blood, while some parts looked as though they had been scorched by flames, charred black.

Beneath bear paws as large as doors lay a white tiger-type monster over six meters long. Its head had been smashed flat, its brains splattered out, and its corpse lay at the brown giant bear's feet.

The giant bear looked over the monster corpses covering the ground. Not far away, a monster with a five-meter-long body and a tail more than five meters long, covered in dark blue-green scales and resembling a lizard magnified countless times, lay limp amid the ruins. Shattered scales and blood littered the ground around it.

After roaring in rage, the giant bear turned around, grabbed the corpses of two monsters, and walked into the distance.

As its massive body moved, the huge torn wound on its back was revealed. The weight of its steps made it clear that it too had been severely injured in the battle among the monsters.

When it reached the massive stadium, nearly a hundred monsters of various kinds were gathered in the plaza outside.

At the sight of the giant bear's return, they all lowered themselves to the ground. Only after it passed did they rise again, sealing off the plaza in front of the stadium.

The giant bear made its way into the stadium. Beside the open-air stands, which rose dozens of meters high, various plants and human cotton stuffing had been piled into a soft beast nest. Only after returning there did the giant bear release several low groans of pain, revealing the immense agony it was enduring.

Lying on its back in the nest, its ten-meter-tall body filled half the stands. Its bear paws stroked its swollen abdomen as more pained roars emerged.

As the roars grew louder, the giant bear's enormous body rolled several times, causing debris to continuously fall from beneath the concrete stands. Only after a final howl did it calm down.

When it shifted its body aside, a young bear cub covered in mucus appeared there.

The giant bear stopped rolling, slowly turned over, and lifted the mucus-covered young bear cub. It opened its mouth and repeatedly licked the mucus from the cub's body with its tongue.

At that moment, the giant bear failed to notice that a half-meter-tall Iron Feather Eagle was watching everything clearly through a gap above the stadium.
