Chapter 12: Cracking Bear

"Can you also shield me from the bright sword and dark arrow?"

Facing a barrage of words, Chu Tiannan guessed everything, but he never expected that this seemingly sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl could say such words.

"Can I have any other choice?" Chu Tiannan touched his nose and said.

"The other choice is death!"

"Isn't that no choice at all?" Chu Tiannan rolled his eyes inwardly, but seeing a hint of anticipation in Lo'er's cold and indifferent eyes, he sighed and reached out his hand.

"What are you doing?" Lo'er asked in confusion.

"We're making a pledge by clasping hands, do you want me to just say it?" Chu Tiannan teased.

"Fine, let's make a pledge by clasping hands. You men are all so stubborn!"

"..."

As they clasped hands, both Chu Tiannan and Lo'er's destinies became intertwined.

After the clasping, Lo'er also let go of her coldness towards Chu Tiannan, showing genuine affection.

Seeing the obvious change in her attitude towards him, Chu Tiannan was at a loss for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Perhaps sensing his discomfort, Lo'er smiled for the first time. "Do you want me to chase you again?"

As she spoke, she poked Chu Tiannan's shoulder with the hilt of her sword.

In response, he rolled his eyes!

Alert! Danger, host evacuate!

At that moment, Chu Tiannan heard the system's danger warning in his mind, and he was shocked.

Because the system would only remind him when he was about to enter a desperate situation.

Whoosh!

At the same time, Chu Tiannan felt a sudden tightness in his soul. Without any hesitation, he reached out his right hand and embraced Lo'er's slender waist.

As she exclaimed in surprise, the two of them rolled to the side.

Bang!

Almost at the same time, a black light flashed where they had been standing, leaving a deep pit in the ground. Chu Tiannan's eyes suddenly contracted.

"Earth-cracking Bear!"

Lo'er, who had been a little angry before, thought that he was trying to take advantage of her, but when she saw the huge and fierce figure not far away, she exclaimed in shock.

"It's impossible, why didn't my detector pick it up?" She looked at her own wrist detector.

Chu Tiannan also looked at his wrist detector at the same time, and the two of them locked eyes the next second.

It turned out that their detectors had been damaged during their previous chase and fight.

"This is a primary-level beast commander-level monster. We can't defeat it. We need to get out of here quickly!" Chu Tiannan stood up, holding the Yan Tian Sword in front of him, and said in a deep voice.

The power fluctuations that suppressed him, clearly indicated that it was a monster comparable to a martial artist.

"The Earth-cracking Bear has amazing defense and excels in breaking the ground. Don't let it get close!" Lo'er came to Chu Tiannan's side, the black sword hilt emitting a red light, and the giant light sword blade exuding a scorching power.

Hearing her explanation, Chu Tiannan frowned slightly.

Not let it get close?

Both of them were melee fighters, so if they couldn't get close, did that mean they could only passively escape?

In front of them, not far away, a brown bear, two stories high, glared at Chu Tiannan and Lo'er.

In its fierce and ferocious eyes, there was a flash of bloodthirsty cruelty, and it opened its stinking, sharp-toothed mouth.

It seemed to be announcing that they were its prey!

"Such a big appetite, it seems to be treating us as dinner." Chu Tiannan sneered, taking a step forward and placing Lo'er's delicate body behind him. Although it wasn't a matter of male chauvinism, Chu Tiannan didn't need a girl to protect him.

"You go first, I'll distract it!" Lo'er said, holding the giant light sword. But Chu Tiannan frowned and immediately refused.

"No! I'll distract it, I'm confident!"

"You can't even beat me, it's too dangerous!"

Roar!

While the two of them were secretly discussing their tactics, the Earth-cracking Bear, impatient, let out an excited roar, and with a fierce push of its huge bear paw on the ground, the earth and mud splashed.

Like a small mountain, it charged fiercely towards them.

Chu Tiannan and Lo'er dodged almost simultaneously, and at the same time, the former fiercely slashed at the bear's abdomen.

Roar!

The Yan Tian Sword, as a weapon bestowed by the system, easily cut a long wound in the Earth-cracking Bear's powerful defensive body.

Blood immediately flowed out, enraging the Earth-cracking Bear, a beast commander-level monster.

Facing a human weaker than itself and causing it harm was an insult.

"How strong its defense is..." Chu Tiannan quickly retreated to the side. He didn't expect that he had only scratched the surface of the Earth-cracking Bear and hadn't really injured it, which made him somewhat dissatisfied.

If someone knew that a peak-level martial artist could easily injure the Earth-cracking Bear, there would be at least a martial artist-level expert who would go crazy to snatch the weapon from him.

Roar!

The Earth-cracking Bear locked its fierce eyes on Chu Tiannan, who was holding the dark gold long sword, and let out an angry growl, then charged at him like a speeding train.
