Green Vines

"Black bear: Strength 17.2, Agility 13.7, Stamina 16.6. Extremely dangerous, escape from sight!"

The data detected by the chip changed again.

Strength and physique continued to rise, but agility decreased slightly.

I don't know if this is the unique ability of the black-maned bear or if there was a new change when Raymond was not present.

"The roars of the black-maned bear repeatedly contain information about the northern forest, killing and escaping."

Standing next to Hayden, Raymond looked at the chip data and still felt uncertain.

The chaotic crowd had basically squeezed to the top of the stands. Although they still looked frightened after the initial panic, seeing that the black-maned bear did not rush up the stands, they also shut up and calmed down for the time being.

There seemed to be an inexplicable aura in the air. Raymond's chip detected a sudden surge of radiating power gathering from the direction of Dean Bahmer of Black River Valley. Everyone in the colosseum focused their eyes on that side.

Dean Bahmer's assistant Orin and several young men in white robes escorted him in the middle. Raymond saw Dean Bahmer's lips moving constantly and guessed he was preparing something.

There was a muffled sound like a punctured water bucket.

The roar of the black-maned bear that suddenly appeared made Raymond feel dazed for a moment.

When Raymond regained his senses, he saw that the transparent film isolated on the stone wall of the colosseum had finally collapsed under the heavy slaps of the black-maned bear.

The black-maned bear standing in the colosseum issued a roar, stomped its legs and jumped onto the first wall.

Before the stunned crowd could react, Raymond, staring at Dean Bahmer, saw a faint green filament flew out of his hand.

The instant the green filament touched the black-maned bear, it swelled into dense, thick green vines that wrapped around the roaring black-maned bear standing on the stone wall.

Amid the alarm from the chip, a large amount of data refreshed in Raymond's sight. After Dean Bahmer made this move, his pale face turned paler, and his scrawny body shook.

The young men around him immediately came forward to help him sit in the stands.

Without paying attention to the madly roaring black-maned bear, Raymond kept his eyes on Dean Bahmer. Under the chip's long-distance observation, Raymond saw that Dean Bahmer, who seemed to be in a state of exhaustion, took a blue vial from his pocket with trembling hands and quickly poured the liquid into his mouth.

As the blue liquid was swallowed by Dean Bahmer, his pale face quickly turned rosy, and his trembling body slowly recovered.

"Energy field drops sharply, Dean Bahmer's data successfully collected!"

Hearing the chip's voice, Raymond clenched his fists in secret joy and immediately accessed Dean Bahmer's data.

"Bahmer, Power 1.3-1.6, Agility 1.2, Stamina 0.9-1.2. Physical condition: Recovering!"

Raymond squinted his eyes and finally probed the data of a level 2 wizard apprentice. When he saw Dean Bahmer before, he asked the chip to keep detecting Dean Bahmer at any time.

However, due to an inexplicable energy field surrounding his body, the chip could not collect clear data from Dean Bahmer. After he fired that green filament just now, this inexplicable energy field surrounding his body finally disappeared briefly.

"It seems that this surrounding energy field is the powerful aspect of a level 2 wizard apprentice." Raymond silently concluded in his heart and finally turned his eyes back to the stone wall.

On the six-meter high stone wall, there was a cocoon-like object with a diameter of over two meters made of green vines.

The arm-thick vines tightened and squeezed continuously, trying to strangle the black-maned bear trapped inside.

But the angry roars from the cocoon showed that the black-maned bear had not been strangled yet, and green vines were broken from time to time.

"Oh my God, this is Dean Bahmer's power, so amazing!" Hayden exclaimed beside him.

Standing at the top of the colosseum, it was impossible to see the situation clearly with eyesight alone.

Raymond frowned and did not respond to Hayden's exclamation. Under his gaze, the green vines forming the cocoon were in jeopardy.

The number of broken vines increased rapidly, the pounding sound from inside the cocoon grew louder and louder, and a moment later, accompanied by the roar of the black-maned bear inside, the entire green vine cocoon burst open completely.

The black-maned bear standing on the stone wall reappeared in everyone's sight. Its scarlet eyes swept over everyone present, and its hideous and mad eyes were suffocating.

After a moment of silence, the people standing at the top of the colosseum immediately let out frightened cries.

Amid the noisy clamor, even the crowd on Dean Bahmer's side was in an uproar. Dean Bahmer's face turned pale immediately, but he still muttered strange syllables with his mouth open.

Orin, standing next to Dean Bahmer, also chanted the same syllables aloud with Dean Bahmer. Soon, from where the black-maned bear stood, countless green vines emerged madly from the cracks in the stones and entangled the bear's thick legs.

The huge bear face had already turned towards Dean Bahmer. The green vines appearing under its feet angered it even more.

With a roar, the black-maned bear tore the green vines that had just emerged from the stone wall with its huge bear paws.

The black-maned bear rushed towards Dean Bahmer with a howl. The distance of tens of meters was only a few seconds. The black-maned bear jumped down from the stone wall, hit the nearly half-meter high stone wall with its body regardless of its four limbs, and slammed into it hard.

By this time, no one could remain calm. Even Dean Bahmer fled into the passageway of the colosseum under the protection of his students.

But speed was not comparable to humans for the black-maned bear. After swiftly demolishing two stone walls, the guards who had long been ready aimed their crossbows at the black-maned bear.

Just as the black-maned bear jumped onto the stands, it was greeted by dozens of crossbows.

But the crossbow arrows that hit the black-maned bear emitting a faint red light immediately fell off, unable to even pierce its skin.

At the same time, Hayden, standing next to Raymond, also rushed towards the passageway beside him while issuing orders for the guards present to continue attacking.

Instead of fleeing with Hayden, Raymond walked towards where the black-maned bear was...
