Chapter 19 : Battle of the monsters

The two of them had greatly increased in strength and were more heavily armed than the previous time , so of course they had the audacity to venture deeper into the forest

" Tian , the beasts in the forest are becoming increasingly stronger and denser the deeper we go , the danger might be greater , but if we act quickly , it will be a chance to obtain some good Spiritual Beast meat and resources and even harvest some medicinal resources that with your ability might have a good chance of alleviating the severity of Auntie's injuries "

" You're right , this way it won't take us long to fully heal her , then after Ruru returns , the four of us will venture out together ! "

The two of them continued to move through the forest quietly and followed the trail of the previous bear herd

They also harvested all the medicinal herbs and resources they could find , and their bags slowly began to fill up

" Grraaaaa ~~ !!!! Grraaaaa ~~ !!!! "

" ?? "

" ?? "

While the two of them were busy harvesting medicinal plants , they suddenly heard a loud roar spread from a nearby area and startled them

The sound wasn't too far away from them , so they immediately stopped harvesting , picked up their belongings and moved towards it cautiously

" Southeast , the distance shouldn't exceed 5 kilometers ! "

Wan quickly estimated the distance and direction with her advanced senses and shared them with Tian

" I can't imagine what Level this monster is ! Its voice was as loud as thunder in the sky ! Could it be the leader of the bear pack we're chasing ? "

" Wghaaaat ~~ !!!! Wghaaaat ~~ !!!! "

Suddenly , another sound , louder than the previous one , erupted , sounding like a war bugle spreading through the forest , spreading terror among them , but it was also clear that it was in pain and angry

" Two ? "

Wan was shocked and turned around , and was about to leave when Tian stopped her

" Wait ! There must be two packs fighting in front of us ! If there were some high-level monsters among them and they were injured , we might have the chance to reap many benefits without taking any risks ! "

Wan's eyes lit up after hearing Tian's words

' He's right , this might be worth the risk '

Wan looked at Tian's determined eyes and her eyes became sharp and she walked ahead of him cautiously

They hadn't gone far before the dense trees around them slowly disappeared and a huge valley appeared in front of the two of them . Tian remembered that it was called the Dead Valley , a medium-sized area within the outer borders of the Great Forest that stretched for about thirty kilometers and had an average depth of 100 meters and more than two kilometers in other areas

Due to the lack of plants and living creatures within it , it was considered one of the few deserted areas within the forest and even monsters rarely ventured into it , let alone humans or other races

" The sound of monsters came from down the valley ! "

The two lay on the ground and looked down cautiously

' Damn it ! '

' What a terrifying sight '

The valley was very wide , but the scenery inside made it seem a bit small

Down below , there was a herd of giant black bears fighting another herd of ferocious elephants almost twice their size

" Dark Bears and Bloodthirsty Elephants "

The Dark Bears stood at an average height of four meters , with a muscular and fleshy body that looked extremely powerful , in addition to large , sharp black claws and giant , muscular paws

The Bloodthirsty Elephants , in contrast , were larger at six meters , with an extremely powerful body with bursting muscles and veins , thick , shiny skin that looked like polished steel , with sharp claws , a ten-meter-long serrated and armored trunk , and a pair of terrifying three-meter-long tusks

The group of elephants did not look any less imposing than the bears , on the contrary , they looked more powerful than them , especially considering their superiority in numbers , with 7 elephants versus 4 Bears

The two looked at each other and noticed the shocked look of both of them , then they pointed to each other and decided to watch from the side and not interfere

The group of elephants rushed quickly because of their huge bodies and strong and flexible muscles , then they struck with their fangs directly into the bodies of three dark bears and penetrated them , then they pulled their fangs hard and then hit the bears on their faces and chests with the trunk , which seemed to have an effect like the effect of a serrated steel whip . When it was pulled , it had already turned red and left terrifying bleeding marks on the bears' bodies

The crimson blood flowed from the bears' bodies and they let out a miserable scream . Then one of them bit hard on the trunk of one of the elephants with his terrifying teeth and pulled it out directly , while another bear pierced the eyes of one of the elephants with his claws and continued to press to reach his brain and crush it

One of the bears took advantage of not attacking him , so he leaned on his hind legs and jumped over the body of one of the elephants and began to tear his neck ferociously with his claws and his teeth

The battle lasted only one minute and the situation turned catastrophic for the elephants , who despite all their strength and early attack , were unable to kill any of the bears and in return they lost 2 already and the numbers are almost equal

" There is something strange , Wan ! "

" Yes , the bears' bodies regenerate and their injuries heal very quickly "

The bears continued to hit the elephants with their huge paws and sharp claws and did not try to block the elephants' attacks even when they were close to penetrating their vital areas

The elephant leader felt the danger , so he tightened his claws and pounced on one of the bears that almost killed another elephant . He wrapped his trunk around its neck and pulled it towards him forcefully , piercing its back with his fangs several times , then bit it with his sharp teeth and broke its neck

Then he quickly turned around and blocked the bear leader's fierce attack and became more focused on his battle with him , knowing that his plan would not succeed again

The battle continued for another two minutes and was more violent and bloody , and it turned in favor of the bloody elephants after their leader killed one of the giant black bears

After the elephants felt that their victory was almost guaranteed , they went crazy and their attacks became more fierce , and they no longer cared about it either in defense

The bear leader saw that his herd would be defeated if they continued in this manner , so he roared towards the sky fiercely , his eyes became glowing black , and a black aura flowed around his limbs and claws , making them more powerful and sharp . Then he attacked the elephant in front of him more fiercely , and this time the elephant was unable to stop him , defend himself , or repel his attacks , and he was quickly seriously injured

The elephant now realized that he had made a mistake , and the bear was hiding his true strength , and he would be killed if he did not stop his attacks , so he pulled air forcefully with his trunk , then fired it concentratedly at the bear to distract him

The elephant leader continued to maneuver and distract the bear leader for a while before one of the bears jumped on him from behind , pounced on his neck , and pierced it with his claws surrounded by a light black aura , while the third bear advanced and grabbed him by his hind leg forcefully , preventing him from moving

The elephant responded quickly after realizing that he was left alone and that his herd had lost , so he hit the third bear directly with his free foot with everything he had , throwing him dozens of meters . And after he fell , Long Tian who was shocked by the elephant 's terrifying injury and his deformed chest

Before the elephant could continue to rampage and break free from the bear on its neck , the bear leader quickly reached him after jumping on him and directly piercing both of his eyes with his claws and continued until he felt that he had pierced his brain but in return he received another severe injury to his face and lost one of his eyes due to the elephant's last resistance

" Wonderful … !! Terrifying … !! Amazing … !! "

Tian began to mutter and his emotions overflowed as he watched the fight and a wild desire to gain more power swept over him before Wan interrupted him

" These two remaining bears are extremely terrifying , especially the leader "

" They have already mastered the aura , an ability that can only be reached after a beast breaks through the fifth level of the Spiritual Beast Realm and enters the Fierce Beast Realm"

The two bears fell right after and found that they had suffered many horrific injuries and were about to lose their lives as well

" Gao ~ "

The leader roared with difficulty , then got up and bit the body of the elephant leader and began to drag it with difficulty while the other bear followed him and dragged the body of another elephant with him

" Wan , let's follow them "

" Okay , but stay away and don't stare directly at them or they might sense it "

Wan and Tian slowly followed the path of the two bears and saw them going deeper into the valley . After some thought , they decided not to go down and just continue following and observing them from above

" Wan ! Why do you think two herds of powerful Spiritual Beasts are fighting in the Dead Valley ? Also , from their movements , it seems that the bears know the layout of the valley well and have their own territory in it "

" I don't know ! "

" I haven't heard of anyone approaching this area in years . New hunters and fighters prefer to hunt in large groups and choose areas rich in resources and with a high concentration of beasts . As for the strong ones go deep into the forest and don't care about the Spiritual Beasts and their main areas , let alone a desolate area , so I've never heard of such an event before ! "

" Mmm … ! "

" Perhaps a treasure appeared in this area that attracted the two herds and they fought over it ? "

Wan thought for a while before answering Tian

" Maybe ! "

" Don't worry , we'll figure everything out once we get to where the bears are leading us "
