The black bear Fierce Beast had originally stood over two meters tall, giving off an intensely oppressive presence.
Now that it had become Ranked, its body had swollen another size, bringing it close to three meters tall.
At that height, if it stood inside an ordinary home, the top of its head would press right against the ceiling.
The Luo Father and Sons, before this black bear, looked just like children.
"Oh no! Xiaohai, run!" Sensing that the black bear had become Ranked and its aura had become immensely oppressive, Luo Dahai cried out.
Whoosh!
After becoming Ranked, the black bear had not only grown stronger, but seemingly smarter as well. Facing the two opponents with long-range attacks, it scooped up a handful of dirt, compressed it hard between its paws, then hurled it at Luo Dahai.
The packed dirt actually held together like a stone rather than scattering.
"A-are we still going to fight it?" Niu Dagang asked hesitantly as he watched the black bear become Ranked.
The Ranked Fire Rotbird had already been so strong. This black bear, now that it had become Ranked, clearly possessed even more terrifying strength.
"Wow, such a huge black bear! How much meat would that be? How many people could it feed?"
Luo Fan marveled at the black bear, which stood nearly three meters tall and should have weighed over a ton.
His words stirred something in Niu Dagang.
"Luo Fan, we're counting on you for this fight," Zhao Chunfeng said, looking at Luo Fan beside him.
"Me? I'm only a Lv2 Sequence User. I'm a little nervous here?"
Luo Fan understood what Zhao Chunfeng meant. Against a Fierce Beast with immense strength and heavy defenses but slow, clumsy movements, the control effect of his Sap was crucial.
But Luo Fan felt that putting so much pressure on a mere Lv2 like him was hardly appropriate.
"If we kill that black bear, you'll get an extra hundred jin of meat. Not nervous now, are you?" Zhao Chunfeng said.
"Brother Zhao, I think Luo Dahai's bow looks pretty good. I'm rather afraid of dying, so I don't think fighting up close with the assassination sequence suits me, especially at a low level. I'm too fragile." Luo Fan put forward his demand.
"Deal!"
After considering it for only a second or two, Zhao Chunfeng nodded in agreement.
After all, of the three Sequence Users, he already had a gun, and Niu Dagang had no use for it, so Luo Fan was indeed the best person to have the bow.
"Don't be afraid! We're coming!" Once Zhao Chunfeng agreed, Luo Fan shouted out and swiftly ran toward the fight.
"Are those... the Hope Convoy's Sequence Users?"
Luo Dahai and his son had been retreating for their lives. Now, seeing Luo Fan and the other two coming over stirred something in the Luo father and son.
A Ranked Fierce Beast might be powerful, but this one had only just become Ranked.
With so many Sequence Users attacking it together, perhaps they had a chance?
More importantly, the meat of a Ranked Fierce Beast was edible and could even rapidly increase a Sequence User's strength.
Thud, thud, thud!
Gripping his iron staff, Niu Dagang charged toward the black bear with heavy footfalls, his staff carrying a formidable force.
He unleashed Heavy Strike, slamming it hard into the black bear. Despite its massive weight and thick hide, Niu Dagang's blow still made it stagger.
Seizing the opening, Luo Xiaohai reacted quickly, raising his hand and firing a Missile straight at the black bear's face.
Over at the Luo Family Town Convoy, the survivors had retreated far away as soon as they spotted the black bear Fierce Beast.
An Xiaoran, who was inside the truck, also looked over.
Seeing Luo Fan and the others coming over to help, An Xiaoran remained silent for a moment, then jumped out of the small truck and walked toward the battlefield.
Emerald-green light pulsed over Niu Dagang's body, and he felt the wounds left by the Fire Rotbird's claws rapidly healing.
So this is the support sequence? Isn't this healing effect a little too immediate? Feeling his wounds swiftly heal, Niu Dagang marveled inwardly while glancing toward An Xiaoran.
Whoosh!
Niu Dagang's Heavy Strike had made the black bear regard him as the greatest threat. It raised its enormous paw and slammed it down at him.
"Brother Niu, you still have time to get distracted and look elsewhere..." Seeing the bear's paw about to land on Niu Dagang, Luo Fan's heart tightened. Gripping his beast-fang short blade, he rushed toward the black bear.
But at that critical instant, Luo Fan had no time to apply his control skill.
Just then, however, a gray, egg-shaped energy shield suddenly emerged from Niu Dagang's body, enclosing him securely within it.
Crack.
Under the black bear's attack, the shield shattered instantly like a glass dome.
Although briefly obstructed, the bear's paw continued down at Niu Dagang with undiminished momentum.
Niu Dagang raised both hands to block it. The next moment, he felt as though a truck had hit him, and he was sent flying several meters.
What terrifying strength. Even after the shield absorbed part of it, its strength still completely overwhelmed mine.
His arms tingled as though they had lost all feeling, leaving Niu Dagang inwardly shocked.
If he had not also activated Overlord Body, would that blow have shattered every bone in his body?
Whoosh!
Seeing Luo Fan and Niu Dagang engaging it up close, the Luo father and son naturally attacked freely from range. Luo Dahai's arrow flew toward the black bear as fast as lightning.
Luo Xiaohai's Missile blasted toward the black bear's face.
The spell sequence dealt the most damage of any sequence. In terms of destructive power, this Missile's attack power even exceeded Niu Dagang's Heavy Slash.
"Sap!"
Luo Fan leaped high, knocking the pommel of his beast-fang short blade against the black bear's head while shouting the skill's name in a thoroughly overdramatic manner.
With the bear standing nearly three meters tall, Luo Fan really did have to jump high to reach its head.
Sap's hard crowd control left the black bear dazed, its eyes losing focus.
Although the stun lasted only an instant, Luo Fan had timed it perfectly.
By the time the black bear came to its senses, the sharp arrow had shot straight into its eye socket.
At the same time, the Missile struck its face.
Roar!!!
An earth-shaking roar rang out. Although the black bear had a thick carapace, as though it wore a turtle shell, its eyes were unprotected. The arrow shot straight into its eye socket, bursting one of its eyeballs.
"Great shot!" Luo Fan gave a thumbs-up and praised him loudly.
"Great Sap!" Luo Dahai replied, praising the impeccable timing of Luo Fan's Sap.
A moment earlier or later truly would not have produced the same result.
Those two have found a mutual appreciation for each other. Listening to Luo Fan and Luo Dahai praise one another, Zhao Chunfeng, who stood by to support them, made a wry comment inwardly.
In Zhao Chunfeng's eyes, however, one was a smiling tiger and the other a little fox.
Their mutual appreciation would probably only last until the Fierce Beast was killed...
