“Ding, ding, ding…”
As the clear sound of the gong rang out, the men on duty in other rooms were instantly startled and started banging their axes and wooden sticks.
Because wild animals could hurt people, the servants were light sleepers to begin with, and when they were stimulated by the noise, they immediately got up in a hurry.
Only the old postman looked outside calmly, turned over, opened the bed, and crawled into a hole in the ground.
Several officers also wanted to follow in, but the cave was not big and the old postman refused to open the lid no matter what, which caused him to be scolded.
"Brothers, grab your weapons and gather around the doors and windows. If that beast dares to force its way in, we'll push it back."
Under Zhou Yuan's command, the servants restored order and held whistle sticks against the doors and windows of the houses.
"Hey, huh, hey..."
The servants shouted slogans and banged wooden sticks, trying to make noise in the hope of scaring away the wild beasts in the dark.
Logically speaking, the noise made by hundreds of people is enough to scare away ordinary wild beasts.
But the beasts outside the post station seemed to be able to distinguish between soldiers and civilians. Despite everyone's cheers, the beasts outside the yard showed no intention of leaving.
The darkness gave the bears a protective layer, and the servants could not see their movements clearly.
But in Zhou Yuan's eyes, the blind bear's movements were clearly seen.
He saw the health bars of the two 【Level 3 Forest Crescent Bears】 and gathered at the gate of the courtyard, knocking on it continuously.
Then it gradually rose along the earth wall. After the two big bears climbed over the wall, Zhou Yuan could vaguely see their features.
The two black bears were taller than humans when they stood up, had a V-shaped white spot on their chests, round heads and big ears, and looked very majestic.
The other four black bears were one size smaller than them, with only health bars on their heads and no level attributes.
"It's coming, turn on the light."
"Don't be afraid, everyone. That beast can't possibly be stronger than the twenty or so of us."
The warm yellow light illuminated the room, and the nervous villagers were breathing heavily and sweating unconsciously.
At this moment, the post house was both a protection and a cage. Only six black bears forced the servants to defend themselves and not dare to leave the house.
As a result, the numerical advantage of the conscripts was greatly weakened.
When you can only rely on your companions and cannot expect others to rescue you.
The six black bears actually had to face not a hundred or so men, but more than twenty people in a room.
"Come a few people, take down the bed boards and push them against the doors and windows to use as shields."
The walls made of rammed earth are strong and reliable, and it is difficult for black bears to dig through them. The most vulnerable places are still the wooden doors and windows.
Bang, bang, the black bear started to bang on the door. The villagers in the house clenched their whistles and couldn't help shivering.
Zhou Yuan stood in the first row by the window, raised his spear, and prepared to attack.
"roar···"
A ferocious bear head suddenly smashed the wooden window and roared loudly at the villagers in the room, scaring them so much that they wailed.
"Hold on, hold on, hit it on the head, poke it in the neck.
Bear paws and bear gall are so valuable. If we can make a killing out of this, we can all turn our lives around."
In response to Zhou Yuan's shouts and stimulated by fear, the villagers finally exploded and beat up the black bear that tried to crawl into the house.
Such an attack can only stimulate the black bear's ferocity but will not kill it. The best way is to hold its head down to prevent it from getting in.
But the villagers could no longer maintain their rationality. The man holding the bed board by the window was so scared that he dropped the board and stepped back.
Zhou Yuan was also a little nervous, but the power of his skills began to show at this moment.
No matter what his mental state is, as long as he activates his skills, he can produce stable damage.
He stabbed the bear in the mouth and nose, causing the black bear to bleed from its mouth and scream and roar.
The injured black bear became extremely ferocious and was about to pounce into the house. Zhou Yuan saw the opportunity and thrust the butt of his gun into the black bear's mouth.
“Woo, woo…”
The cold spear tip pierced into the throat. The weight of the black bear plus Zhou Yuan's spear caused the spear tip to pierce the black bear's neck.
Zhou Yuan watched the black bear's health bar plummet to half, so he quickly pulled out his hatchet and struck the bear's head twice with powerful blows.
With two bangs, the knife entered the flesh.
Thanks to the blessing of his skills, Zhou Yuan's attack was extremely accurate, turning the blind bear into a real blind man.
The black bear was fatally injured and wanted to escape, but the iron spear got stuck on its neck. Its health dropped sharply during the struggle, and soon it could no longer roar.
But this method of pretending to be dead could not fool Zhou Yuan, who looked at the beast whose health was only 26% and still decreasing.
Zhou Yuan grabbed a stick and asked the villagers to poke its head and push it out together.
This time the black bear could no longer pretend to be dead. The stick poked the iron spear on its neck, causing secondary damage to it.
When it was knocked over, Zhou Yuan grabbed the tail of the iron spear and pulled it hard, which completely killed it.
【Ding, kill the level 3 Forest Crescent Bear, experience +30】
Bang! The heavy bear carcass fell to the ground, inspiring the villagers in the house and scaring the other black bears.
Unlike the villagers who only saw the bear corpse, Zhou Yuan also saw an object emitting a faint green light.
"Something exploded?"
Zhou Yuan glanced at the bear carcass outside the window in confusion, but had no intention of going out to pick it up immediately. The black bears had not left yet, and it was too dangerous to go out now.
Howl, roar, after a few roars, the four unleveled black bears were ready to escape, and the remaining level 3 forest crescent bear pounced on them and bit them.
This was a good opportunity. Zhou Yuan took advantage of it and reached out to grab the iron spear on the bear's corpse. With the help of two village men, he pulled the spear out.
"Whetstone."
Hearing Zhou Yuan's cry, Zhao Dahuang immediately dug out a stone from the debris and handed it over.
At this moment, the spear in Zhou Yuan's hand was damaged and bent, and a piece of the tip was broken off, but he still did not give up the gun.
After instructing two men to sharpen their guns, he found a hammer as a backup weapon.
After waiting for a while, the level 3 forest crescent bear killed two bears without levels, and the other two climbed over the wall and escaped.
The dead black bear seemed to be very important to it. It ignored the two fleeing bears and pounced on the broken window again.
“Brothers, this guy holds a grudge and cannot be allowed in.
Don't hit it randomly, use the whistle stick to push it out and consume its energy. If we can kill one, we can kill the second one."
After killing a big bear, the villagers' confidence increased. Although they were still nervous, they were no longer scared and knocked around randomly.
Thanks to the efforts of a dozen strong men, the big bear was pushed down every time he tried to climb out the window, turning the life-and-death battle into a wrestling match.
Zhou Yuan held the spear and stabbed its eyes, mouth and nose with a few thrusts.
By this time it had lost most of its threat. In this mutual attrition, Zhou Yuan stabbed its ear hole from the side and called the villagers to help nail it to death.
"Try harder and poke its head open."
【Ding, kill the level 3 Forest Crescent Bear, experience +30】
After the two big bears were dead, the villagers were just about to relax when they saw Zhou Yuan climbing out of the window.
"I'll go see the other brothers to see if they need help."
Amidst shouts of "be careful," "be righteous," and "don't be stupid," Zhou Yuan leaned over and picked up a green ball of light and a white ball of light.
