Chapter 348 - 202: Canyon Snow Bear, Three Zhang Golden Body_2
Zi Yun came running over, her jade-like face flushed. She began to caress Meng Chong’s body, his robust muscles full of ferocity caused her heart to flutter.
“Smack!”
Meng Chong slapped her hand away, frowning, “Keep your hands clean!”
Zi Yun giggled, “Meng Chong, congratulations on your increasing strength!”
“Enough, let’s go!”
Meng Chong continued on into the gorge. Soon he saw a fifth-ranked Spiritual Medicine under a cliff wall.
The Spiritual Medicine was crystal clear, blending into the snowy white landscape, easy to miss.
Zi Yun began harvesting the Spiritual Medicine.
As they progressed, several more fifth-ranked Spiritual Medicines were discovered in succession.
“Something’s not right, aren’t fifth-ranked Spiritual Medicines extremely rare? How come there are so many here?”
Meng Chong said, frowning.
“It must be the result of fallen seeds from the Spiritual Medicines carried by those who once battled the Demon Lord here. Over the years, they have grown into fifth-ranked Spiritual Medicines!”
Zi Yun conjectured.
Meng Chong gave her a glance. This woman knew quite a lot and certainly had some inside knowledge about the demon hunting battlefield.
“What are you here to find?”
Meng Chong asked solemnly.
“Yu Ling!”
Zi Yun’s expression became serious, “With Yu Ling, one can enter the Gate of
Lingyu. Meng Chong, when the time comes, you can come with me!
She looked at Meng Chong with a hopeful gaze.
“We’ll see.”
Meng Chong replied noncommittally.
The nature of the Gate of Lingyu was yet unknown, and by his estimation, his strength was not enough. As to what Yu Ling was, he couldn’t be bothered to ask anymore.
“Something’s wrong!”
Meng Chong abruptly stopped, his eyes intensely fixed ahead.
A force was looming up ahead and he noticed a giant footprint in the snow.
It was the footprint of some monstrous beast!
“What is that?”
Zi Yun’s face changed.
As they appeared, the beast in the depths of the gorge seemed to sense something and let out a low growl. Then a giant humanoid beast appeared in their sight.
It was a giant bear, walking upright, with snow-white fur blending into the white snow around it, appearing like a walking snowflake.
The upright bear was over two meters tall and resembled a small giant. What made Meng Chong more serious was, the bear was holding a short spear in one of its paws!
The spear actually wasn’t short, it only seemed so relative to the bear’s massive
size.
“Meng Chong, something’s wrong! We should run!”
Zi Yun’s face changed as she spoke.
“You get back!”
Meng Chong drew his blade and said solemnly.
He had noticed something off about this bear; its eyes contained a non-
beastlike gaze.
“But…”
Zi Yun was incredibly anxious.
Seeing the bear getting closer and its ferocious momentum emerging, Zi Yun could only retreat, fearing she might become a burden to Meng Chong.
After backing far away, Zi Yun took out a small booklet and nervously flipped through it, “It doesn’t say anything about a giant bear being here!”
Boom!
The bear began to charge, lifting the short spear in its paw. The tip of the spear emitted a cold gleam, and a sharp force swept towards them.
The brilliance of the spear tore through the thick snow, thrusting straight at Meng Chong.
Boom!
A dominating aura burst out from Meng Chong. He swung his blade, decimating the spear’s luminescence and instead of retreating, he launched a direct attack.
He had just reached Tongxuan and this was a perfect opportunity to hone his
skills.
Moreover, there was something unusual about this Snow Bear. If he could hunt it down, it would make an impressive trophy.
If he could peel off the snow-white pelt and gift it to his master, the trip would not have been in vain.
These were Meng Chong’s thoughts.
The bear seemed surprised by Meng Chong’s strength. The spear brilliance surged once more, and hundreds of smaller, incredibly swift spear points burst out.
Meng Chong roared angrily, wielding his blade which carried the sense of a tempest, slashing out and engaged in a fierce battle with the bear.
The towering stature of the bear gave it an advantage of height and reach. Compared to the bear, the already imposing Meng Chong looked like a mere child.
Clang!
The sword and spear clashed, shaking Meng Chong’s hand and causing his precious blade to tremble slightly. Startled, he realized that the spear of the giant bear was no ordinary weapon.
The battle escalated, as Meng Chong masterfully wielded his blade with domineering intent while the giant bear emanated an oppressive aura.
It was like a heavenly mandate that aimed to suppress his spiritual consciousness.
However, it was nullified by the domineering intent of his blade.
“A half-step sky bear?”
Meng Chong frowned, this aura, purer in essence than the one emitted by the master of the Yinlou Pavilion, had a more direct suppressive effect on his spiritual consciousness.
Nevertheless, it seemed weaker.
Moreover, it gave him a familiar feeling.
He had felt this mild oppression and fluctuation before.
“Who are you?”
Meng Chong asked gravely while clashing blades with the giant bear.
Since its appearance, the bear had not roared or even growled once, which was uncharacteristic of beasts.
As the spear lights got more intense, the giant bear’s aura grew stronger. Its eyes sharp as knives, it attacked with increasing brutality.
It appeared as though it was regaining its strength.
The aura and fluctuations around the giant bear also started to intensify.
Meng Chong could feel the pressure mounting.
Boom!
Suddenly, the giant bear shook its spear to collide with Meng Chong’s blade. At this moment, as if having calculated it, the bear made a swift move with its other paw.
It did not aim for Meng Chong but rather slammed onto the blade and the spear.
Slap!
Meng Chong felt an enormous force hitting the side of his blade, and with the spear rattling as though glued to the blade. The bear’s palm strike intended to knock his blade off.
The giant bear was a seasoned tighter – skilled and cunning enough to try and disarm his opponent amid battle.
Unfazed, Meng Chong threw a punch. His fist infused with a strong gust of wind and thunderbolt force, hit the long spear. In an instant, both the sword and the spear flew off their hands.
The bear displayed no concern, its giant paws heavily slapping over. Its flailing paws soared up, whipping up the accumulated snow. The dominance of the bear’s palm strike was like a mountain rolling over Meng Chong.
Meng Chong charged with his fists clenched, colliding head-on with the bear. The echo of the intense collision reverberated through the gully, and big pits appeared on the ground.
The bear was enormous and muscular, possessing a strong physique and tremendous strength which gave it an advantage as its paws repeatedly bombarded, and standing legs keen to kick.
No matter how one looked at it, the bear’s fighting style was not ordinary.
Meng Chong’s aura intensified, and his eyes flickered frosty. He increasingly felt a sense of dejavu towards the giant bear’s suppressive aura and the lingering fluctuations.
And then it hit him – a worm! The image of a worm and Senior Wu surfaced in his mind.
Although Senior Wu and the worm weren’t particularly strong, their menacing aura and the fluctuations they sent out were strikingly similar to those of the giant bear.
This bear…its body had been possessed!
Meng Chong roared in rage and declared coldly, “I do not care what you are, but today, you will die!”
At this moment, he was seething. His battle with Senior Wu earlier had nearly cost him his life, and inexplicably, Wu had meant to kill him.
Did the bear in front of him have the same intent?
“Do you think, considering your animalistic instinct and superior physique, that you have the upper hand?”
Meng Chong sensed the bear’s intention to close the distance and leverage its brute strength in close-quarter combat, aiming to suppress him.
Kaboom!
At that instant, Meng Chong radiated a golden glow.
“Test me in a physical brawl, in close combat, I fear no one!
Meng Chong’s body glowed like a golden statue as he unleashed the full potential of his power.
In front of the astonished gaze of the giant bear, Meng Chong’s body magically expanded, and his clothes instantly tore apart, leaving him bare.
He was bathed in a golden glow, his robust muscles displaying raw strength. His eyes were full of rage and his bald head gleamed.
Meng Chong roared, his fists clenched and towering over the bear.
The moment he unleashed the three-zhang-golden body technique, the situation had reversed – he was now taller, burlier, and fiercer than the giant bear.
The petrified giant bear trembled before him, its eyes filled with panic but interlaced with ferocity.
“Come, let’s have a hand-to-hand combat!”
Meng Chong sneered.
His single punch set off a whirlwind, hitting down with a deafening sound.
Roar!
The giant bear let out its first roar.
With all four limbs on the ground, it launched itself at Meng Chong.
Meng Chong tensed; he sensed that the faint fluctuation had disappeared from the bear’s body as if it was hiding somewhere.
A trace of danger!
But Meng Chong was not afraid; having executed the three-zhang-golden body, he was invincible now.
