BXBX NOVEL Chapter 296: 293 Confrontation
With the help of this strength, Goulbin barely managed to prop himself up and stood wobblingly, his broad palm leaving and pressing on his shoulder instead.
As soon as Goulbin regained his balance, his numb brain began to think again, the light returned to his eyes, and he reflexively pressed the rescue button.
It seemed he hadn’t realized that someone had already come to his rescue.
Meanwhile, his companion reacted even faster, and a glimmer of light burst forth in his eyes the moment he saw who was supporting him.
“Is it you!?”
Bi Fang made a gesture to keep silent and then stared seriously at the brown bear in the distance, whispering, “You guys go first.”
The forest was very large, and it wasn’t something a helicopter could reach quickly; they had to save themselves.
“But you…”
His companion looked at him worriedly, but Goulbin took to his heels!
Bi Fang arched an eyebrow, but said nothing. After all, he was there to rescue them, and running away in fear was a normal human reaction.
However, the companion and even the viewers were shocked.
They had been astonished by Bi Fang’s courage, but now they felt as uncomfortable as if they had swallowed something indescribable.
[Damn it, Master Fang comes to save you out of the goodness of his heart, and you don’t even say thank you, just running away?]
[Mom’s spaghetti, this guy must be nuts]
[Damn, damn, damn, he just fucking shouldn’t have been saved!]
[Ride a motorcycle away, maybe?]
“Hurry up and go, you’re just in the way, and you can’t help with anything.”
Bi Fang didn’t look at the barrage of comments, and said softly to the other person, his words straightforward—there was no time for beating around the bush.
With that, although the other person’s face showed displeasure, he had nothing to say and turned to leave after glancing at the tranquilizer gun behind Bi Fang.
Yet Bi Fang stayed where he was, silently watching the brown bear, showing no intention of retreating.
This scene shocked the viewers. Why wasn’t he leaving?
Bi Fang of course didn’t want to stay, but he couldn’t leave. He calmed his slightly thumping heart and explained softly.
“The brown bear can be considered as an upgraded version of the black bear, and the approach to dealing with them differs greatly.
Since black bears are smaller, they are more afraid of humans. If you encounter a black bear that is aggressive, you should try to intimidate it as much as possible, for instance by glaring, shouting, or waving your arms at it, so that it does not consider you easy prey.
If you unfortunate enough to come across a particularly bold black bear that still wants to attack you, then you must fight back fiercely. Under no circumstances should you show weakness; instead, make it think twice about attacking.
Grizzly bears are much more difficult to handle than black bears. Due to their large size, human shouting and arm-waving do not scare off grizzly bears and may even provoke them instead.”
It was for this reason that Bi Fang hadn’t driven his motorcycle over but had left it behind and traveled on foot.
The sound of the motorcycle could have been perceived by the brown bear as a provocation, leading it to directly attack the two of them.
To avoid such a situation, he had to come alone.
“So, the tactic for dealing with black bears is completely the opposite of that for grizzly bears. If you encounter a grizzly bear and want to save your life, you have to act like Sun Zi. Keep calm, stand firm, and slowly back away without making direct eye contact with the bear. Do not appear aggressive, and definitely do not act like prey.
This process requires you to never take your eyes off the bear and certainly not to turn and run!
I have said numerous times, never show weakness in front of a predator, as it will think you are scared and become even more fierce! The moment you run, the chances of being attacked greatly increase!”
If you turn and run out of cowardice, the predator will definitely chase you, and there’s a good chance you won’t be able to outrun it,
Wild animals can smell your fear!
This sentence has been heard by viewers countless times, but every listen brings a new feeling.
Knowing is one thing, doing is another.
Many people understand this principle, but how many can truly do it? Currently, it seems that only Master Fang is capable.
Just now Goulbin, had it not been for Bi Fang supporting him, the audience even doubted whether he would wet his pants.
The reason Bi Fang had the two leave first was precisely this: being unable to remain calm in response would only have allowed the Brown Bear to see through their bluff. It was better to have them leave first.
He stepped back slowly, his gaze never leaving the Brown Bear. The two even faced off for over ten seconds before Bi Fang moved his feet and calmly left, as if without a trace of fear, as if what he was facing was not the largest carnivorous mammal on land, but a small beast.
And the Brown Bear also stayed in the valley bottom, never advancing from beginning to end.
Once the Brown Bear disappeared from his sight, Bi Fang immediately sprinted to the motorcycle that had fallen not far away and chased after them on the bike!
Goulbin and his companion obviously panicked and chose their route haphazardly, leaving many traces along the way; the scent in the air was also distinctly noticeable.
The two hadn’t bathed for six days!
With the help of the motorcycle, Bi Fang quickly caught up with the two men. Seeing Bi Fang, the two seemed to have found their pillar of strength and involuntarily stopped, leaning against a big tree and gasping for air like crazy.
It was only a few hundred meters, but the two were nearly exhausted. Their hearts were pounding wildly in their chests, their saliva was thick like glue, and all their physical strength had been wrung out, leaving them with no energy to spare.
Being injured, the terror between life and death is immense, and fear is the most draining on both mental and physical strength. This is why on the battlefield, many new soldiers, despite being stronger, still don’t have the endurance of veterans.
Because of fear, panic, even if doing nothing, physical strength will be rapidly depleted, let alone after running a few hundred meters.
Bi Fang didn’t let his guard down but looked behind him. Just as he turned around, the sound of dry branches breaking arose, and a brown silhouette dashed through the woods.
“Go, quick!”
Bi Fang immediately yelled and made room for the two to get on the bike, speeding away once the Brown Bear closed in within fifty meters again.
The fallen big tree, the rugged rocks, the roar of the Brown Bear.
All of it was stimulating the audience’s senses.
But less than ten minutes after they started, a waterfall suddenly blocked their path.
It was a river!
The audience suddenly remembered what Bi Fang had said before—the presence of morels indicated that a river was likely nearby!
This was their chance!
Seeing the river, Bi Fang’s eyes lit up. Thinking of how the three of them had been frantically fleeing, he immediately said.
“Like this, we’ll never be able to escape.”
He scanned his surroundings and suddenly saw a large tree snapped and fallen, leaning on the rocks to form a natural triangular structure.
He immediately dismounted. “Come help me pull this tree!”
At this moment, neither Goulbin nor his companion had any opinions of their own and subconsciously followed Bi Fang’s words, moving toward the tree to help.
“On the count of three!”
Bi Fang hugged the tree’s root and the other two hurriedly followed suit.
“One, two, three!”
As the final number was called, the three men exerted their strength together and dragged the entire tree to the riverbank before beginning to push the tree.
The tree was simply too large, and it was not something three grown men could easily move.
Bi Fang picked up a thick tree branch and propped it under the tree, shouting the motto again.
Strength was constantly being sapped, and all three of them had fierce expressions, gritting their teeth.
At that moment, another bear roar sounded.
Bi Fang’s veins throbbed. Damn, they had been targeted!
