Chapter 6: The Woman is She!

With a roar from the black bear, the birds in the forest were instantly startled, and the small animals in the trees either flew away or fled.

Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but turn around and saw the black bear, which was even taller than an adult. She was so scared that her body froze. Where did this black bear come from?

Xiao Junxi suddenly felt the person beside him not moving at all. He turned his head and saw Xie Ruzhuo staring in terror, which made him also look over, and then his eyes narrowed.

During this royal hunting, the wild animals in the forest had already been driven away. Yet, they unexpectedly encountered an adult black bear!

Xiao Junxi's sharp gaze fell on the injured abdomen of the black bear, where an arrow was stuck. It was evident that the black bear had been attacked and driven to madness.

Thinking about the recent assassination attempt and seeing the black bear at this moment, Xiao Junxi couldn't help but suspect that this series of events was a conspiracy, a plot to kill him!

Seeing the black bear gradually approaching them, Xie Ruzhuo immediately came to her senses and shouted, "Run! This black bear has gone mad, it definitely wants to kill us!"

Upon hearing Xie Ruzhuo's words, Xiao Junxi suddenly snapped out of it and nodded.

Unfortunately, it was already too late!

The black bear, seeing Xie Ruzhuo and Xiao Junxi about to run, let out a furious roar and increased its speed.

Xie Ruzhuo and Xiao Junxi felt the heavy footsteps of the black bear getting closer, and sweat dripped from their foreheads.

"Be careful!" Xiao Junxi felt the movement of the air behind him and immediately pushed Xie Ruzhuo to the ground.

In that split second, just as he pushed her, the black bear's paw missed her by a hair's breadth.

Failing in its attack, the black bear, filled with frustration, swiped its paw towards Xiao Junxi.

The black bear had thought it would knock down the slender Xiao Junxi, but to its surprise, it missed again.

Furious at consecutive failures, the black bear roared angrily and its fists turned into fists, fiercely hammering towards Xiao Junxi.

"No! Xiao Junxi, quickly dodge!" Xie Ruzhuo, on the side, watched the increasingly enraged black bear and called out in panic.

In order to avoid this punch, Xiao Junxi's body fell to the ground, looking extremely disheveled. Facing the bear so close, could this be the end for him? No! He absolutely couldn't give up!

Xiao Junxi watched as the black bear raised its foot and then tried to stomp on him. He immediately rolled away to evade the attack.

Watching the extremely perilous situation of Xiao Junxi, Xie Ruzhuo's back was covered in cold sweat. What should she do? Xiao Junxi was completely unable to deal with this black bear. If this continued, both of them would meet their end under the bear's claws.

Xie Ruzhuo's gaze fell on the arrow that had been used in the recent assassination attempt and was now stuck in the ground. Her eyes flashed with determination. Since there was no escape, she would take a desperate gamble!

With this thought in mind, she immediately pulled out the arrow from the ground and, with all her strength, charged towards the black bear. She leaped onto the bear's back and, before the bear could react, forcefully plunged the arrow into the bear's eye.

Watching Xie Ruzhuo's swift action, Xiao Junxi was dumbfounded. Was this the young lady who usually lived a sheltered life in the inner chambers?

At this moment, Xiao Junxi's admiring gaze turned to Xie Ruzhuo. However, when he saw Xie Ruzhuo being thrown off by the black bear, he panicked and ran towards her.

"How are you?" Xiao Junxi nervously helped up Xie Ruzhuo.

Moans escaped from Xie Ruzhuo's mouth. She grimaced, saying, "It hurts... it hurts so much..."

Upon hearing Xie Ruzhuo's words, Xiao Junxi helplessly said, "You fool! You actually jumped onto the back of the black bear like that!"

Hearing Xiao Junxi's reproach, Xie Ruzhuo wanted to glare, but she didn't have the strength. Meanwhile, the black bear, now with an eye injury, covered its bleeding eye and roared loudly. However, not long after, it suddenly fell forward.

With a thud, dust flew up, and the black bear lay motionless on the ground!

This scene left Xie Ruzhuo and Xiao Junxi dumbfounded...
