BXBX NOVEL Chapter 306: 303 Victory
Feeling the slight tremble of the ground, Mugalen’s heart chilled as he glanced out of the corner of his eye and even saw ripples upon ripples in the puddles.
Although he had mentally prepared himself before executing the plan, facing such a massive beast was intimidating to anyone.
But by now, there was no turning back.
In such a situation, any accident could happen in the blink of an eye, no one could rush over in time, and everything depended on him alone.
In narrow straits, brave men prevail!
Watching the behemoth roar towards him, Mugalen fiercely pulled down the triangular cheval de frise!
This terrain was carefully chosen by Mugalen: a narrow valley bottom that was easy to defend but difficult to attack, with a strategic advantage similar to holding a pass against thousands, and one side blocked by the cheval de frise, not even a brown bear could charge through unimpeded.
Moreover, the heavy rain from the day before had collected mud water that reached the lower legs in the valley bottom, soaking the soil until it was loose, and with a little force at a specific angle, the cheval de frise could sink deep.
As the behemoth charged, Mugalen pulled down the cheval de frise while delaying its steps and thrust his wooden spear toward the neck of the brown bear, momentarily creating an evenly matched struggle.
It was a pity that the construction of the cheval de frise was time-consuming and laborious, and even after Mugalen had stayed up all night, he only managed to make five of them. For those wooden spears and traps, even his calloused hands developed many blisters, and now the brown bear had already broken through the third barrier.
The behemoth’s paws slapped in the puddle, splashing water higher than a man.
Mugalen kept retreating, step by step, as the brown bear pressed on, smacking the cheval de frise and shattering the wooden framework into countless splinters which scattered, just as the audience’s composure was being shattered, their nerves so tense they were nearly curling up, not knowing what to do.
Mugalen’s arm muscles bulged as he brandished the wooden spear once more, aiming for the brown bear’s neck, the spot where its defense was weakest and where the blood vessels could be most easily punctured.
But the brown bear reacted quickly, with experience from many previous encounters, it bit the wooden spear, and with a single effort, Mugalen was forced to let go, watching in dismay as the bear snapped the spear the thickness of his arm in one bite!
Hiss!
The online friends inhaled sharply, astonished by the biting power that could snap a thick wooden rod, imagining the same fate could befall a human leg!
Immediately more concerned about Mugalen’s predicament, it was fortunate that Mugalen had prepared well in advance, placing a large number of wooden spears by each barrier precisely to anticipate such a scenario, and he promptly picked up another spear from the cheval de frise’s side to confront the bear again.
Water splashed everywhere, a fetid wind gusting.
As the last barrier was destroyed, Mugalen had no choice but to face the brown bear directly with no more obstructions, maneuvering the wooden spear, circling it in front of the bear’s forehead.
“Come and catch me, come on!”
“You beast!”
While verbally insulting, Mugalen lured the brown bear to follow him, controlling the rhythm step by step.
Until he reached the end of the valley, with no way out, and it was precisely when the brown bear’s patience had run out.
Raging anger consumed its mind, and faced with the reptile that kept jumping before it, the brown bear no longer wished to dawdle and charged straight forward, bumping against the wooden spear, knocking Mugalen to the ground, then stood up to attempt its final attack.
Countless viewers screamed and closed their eyes, but this was exactly what Mugalen hoped for!
He turned around, facing the even larger brown bear head-on, staring intently at every movement of the bear, just as it was about to bring down its attack.
“Now!”
Mugalen roared, his muscles bulging, veins on his wrists throbbing violently as he wedged a wooden spear into the rocks behind him, and then he thrust it upward fiercely!
Just as the brown bear was about to strike, its entire weight bearing down like a mountain, a look of terror filled its eyes—but it was too late to pull back. Its half-ton weight pressed down, and even the bear couldn’t control it!
An unstoppable force fell like a collapsing mountain; for a moment, Mugalen forgot to dodge. He wanted to escape, but he couldn’t.
The behemoth’s body fell, and the wooden spear pierced into its flesh. Under such massive force, even the strongest defense was as frail as paper. The brown shaft carried out red blood, piercing through the bear’s body.
The brown bear roared at the sky, excruciating pain coursing through its body, blood spilling from the corners of its mouth—not the blood of a deer, but its own bear blood. At this moment, it had no strength left to fight back; all its energy gushed out with the gaping hole in its chest.
Its ferocious gaze fixed on Mugalen below, but soon it lost focus and dimmed, followed by a thunderous crash as it fell to the ground.
Dead, huh?
The online friends dared not readily believe the scene before them, yet the reality told them—the bear, over two meters and thirty centimeters in length, had died under its own weight.
And what about Mugalen?
The joy of victory quickly faded, and the audience grew worried about Mugalen’s fate. He was completely pinned down—would he be alright?
The drone immediately moved above the brown bear, and numerous viewers watched this incredibly shocking scene.
In the sunlight, the bloody spear tip emitted a faint white vapor; the brown bear’s body was fully spread out as if it were an ancient and bloody totem.
Only now could the people truly see the brown bear’s features and understand just how large the behemoth was. Its massive body lay quietly in a puddle, resembling a large, brown pancake stretched out on the ground, with a length of over three meters from front to back.
Bloodstains covered the bear’s brown fur, while Mugalen lay motionless underneath.
In front of the television, Barton’s heart skipped a beat, not able to believe it. In his eyes, this man who had earned a medal in the army was not supposed to die, shining with an eternal light like the protagonist of a story.
Suddenly, the bear’s left paw moved a little.
Barton’s heart leaped with joy, but many other online friends were startled. Could it be alive?
Goulbin, who had gone to a hotel to watch the live broadcast after his failure, was so frightened that he leaped from his chair, his shirt already soaked with sweat, not knowing if it was due to the heat from the air conditioning or fear.
No one understood the fear of facing a top predator better than he did. Facing a brown bear felt like being immersed in profound darkness, as if there was nothing else in the world, only he was left alone.
Fear flooded into his throat like a deluge, spilling into his nostrils. Countless microorganisms irritated his nasal mucosa, causing him to be dizzy and to breathe rapidly. By the time he regained his senses, he was already drenched in cold sweat.
However, in the next moment, a pale hand suddenly reached out from under the brown bear; compared to the bear’s paw, it seemed tiny, like a child’s arm. The pale hand struggled to grasp the bear’s paw, pushing it away with all its might.
Mugalen’s head emerged, as he supported his chest and took deep breaths.
“Damn, that almost crushed me.”
