The rustling sound started up again, and Big Sister-in-Law tugged at the corner of my clothes.
I suddenly opened my eyes and looked around, but I didn't see anything. Just as I was wondering what this omen meant, rain began falling from above.
It was raining?
I raised my head. A gigantic head was pressed against the tree I was leaning on, and liquid dripped from its mouth onto my head, pattering like rain.
My eyes instantly froze. What a huge black bear! It was at least as big as two black-furred hounds! The underworld had bears this enormous?
When you encountered a bear, you were supposed to play dead. That was common knowledge, right? But this bear was already staring at me, and Big Sister-in-Law had even tugged at my clothes!
Smack.
The giant bear placed a massive paw on the tree, lowered its head to look at me, and its scarlet eyes revealed that it possessed Ghost King-level strength.
"Bro Bear..." My face went pale. This was a Ghost Bear King! It was so huge that it was practically a fighter jet among Ghost Kings, a Zhao Yu among Corpse Kings!
Rustle.
The tree I was lying against began to sway. Leaves drifted down, and I scrambled away in terror, fleeing toward the edge of the forest. Boom!
The giant bear tore the tree up by its roots, then roared several times before hurling the tree at me!
I ducked behind another tree, and the one behind me was smashed down. It nearly crushed me.
"Roar!"
Just as I was wondering how to escape, the giant bear suddenly began howling miserably. I turned around and saw that it was actually being chased and stung to death by a swarm of poisonous bees!
I was dumbstruck. That worked too?
