"What do you mean?"
Xu Lei had no idea how Xu Le had reached that conclusion.
The others all looked at Xu Le too, unsure how he had made those judgments.
Xu Le pointed at a tree beside the female bear's corpse. There were very obvious claw marks about five or six meters up.
"Some large animal probably left those while sharpening its claws. They look like bear claw marks, but that height is ridiculous. If it really is a bear... it would be over six meters tall. Also, there are no other wild animals around the outskirts of this woodland, which shows fairly clear signs of territorial behavior. This female bear was very weak, nowhere near strong enough to dominate this area. So I think there's something bigger here. A bear, or something else."
Although everything Xu Le said was only speculation, it still struck the others as highly plausible.
A six-meter bear? That really was an outrageous size.
Li Weisi gave Xu Le an approving look. He still did not know how strong Xu Le was or how capable he was at research and development.
But that composure and analytical ability alone warranted a higher opinion of him.
Xu Lei was also somewhat surprised by his younger cousin's performance. After hesitating briefly, he asked:

Get ready."
