The arrow missed its mark; the brown bear, writhing violently in agony, miraculously dodged it.

The others also attacked, shooting arrows and throwing spears at the brown bear, but to little avail, as the bear's skin was very tough and their attacks could not cause it much damage.

The hunters moved closer to the brown bear, trying to find a better opportunity to attack. They kept shooting arrows and throwing spears, but these attacks did not seem to pose much of a threat to the bear.

The brown bear roared and easily dodged their attacks with its powerful strength and agility.

These brown bears are not very effective when fought hand-to-hand by warriors. The tribe's warriors eat ordinary wild animals year-round, which not only fails to replenish the energy they consume daily, but also leaves their bodies in a state of deficiency.

Hongyue was secretly anxious and ordered her Sky Wolf to attack. Jiang Ning jumped off Baiya's back and walked to the tribespeople, instructing Baiya to also attack the brown bear, as ordinary Sky wolves would only be sent to their deaths.

Two skeletal beast-level wolves charged forward, launching a fierce attack on the brown bear. Their speed was so great that the brown bear couldn't withstand them.

Two wolves attacked the brown bear from different directions, leaving it unable to defend itself. They tore at the bear's flesh, causing it to roar in pain.

The brown bear was severely injured, but it still fought back tenaciously. It used its remaining eye to assess the situation and tried to retaliate. Baiya was even struck by its paw, but it still did not back down and continued to fight the brown bear.

As the saying goes, even a centipede with a hundred legs does not fall down when it dies. The brown bear's last stand was so terrifying that no one dared to approach it for a time.

Hongyue grabbed his bone knife and charged forward. His bone knife was made from the bones of a strange bone beast and was extremely sharp. The others kept firing arrows at the brown bear to harass it, and finally someone shot the brown bear in the other eye.

This arrow completely blinded the brown bear, and soon, under the combined attack of the group, the bear lost its ability to resist and collapsed to the ground.

The hunting team quickly gathered up the scattered arrows and recycled them as much as possible. These arrows were essential tools for their survival and could not be wasted easily.

Then, the group of them carried the brown bear's carcass away quickly. The commotion was too great, and the smell of blood was too strong; they needed to leave as soon as possible to avoid attracting other ferocious beasts.

Jiang Ning sat on Baiya's back, her right hand resting on its abdomen, emitting a faint white light. She was using her witchcraft to heal Baiya's wounds.

In the recent fight with the brown bear, Bai Ya was struck by the bear's paw. Fortunately, Bai Ya reacted quickly and was not fatally injured.

Nevertheless, the palm strike still caused Bai Ya some minor injuries. She concentrated her energy, channeling her witch power from her right hand into Bai Ya's body.

Her heart was connected to Baiya's; she could feel its pain and exhaustion. She used her magical power to soothe Baiya's wounds, repair its damaged muscles, and replenish its energy.

After treatment, Bai Ya's injuries gradually improved. Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief; this was the first time she had used witchcraft to heal, and thankfully she already possessed this ability.

They continued on and successfully returned to the cave. After everyone entered the cave, someone blocked the entrance with a huge rock.

"Quick! Get the empty water pouches!" Red Moon shouted to the members of the hunting team.

Immediately, someone threw him their water bag. Inside the cave, a fire was still burning. By the light of the fire, Hongyue completely chopped off the brown bear's severed leg and handed it to the team members to roast as their food for the day.

Then the water sac collects the blood flowing from the brown bear's wound. The blood of the strange, skeletal beast is also a highly nutritious substance and should not be wasted.

Only then did the others have the energy to cheer.

"We actually killed a brown bear!"

"This is no ordinary brown bear! This is a brown bear of the level of a monstrous beast with strange bones!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but laugh out loud. Hong Feng, who was beside her, looked at her with pride and smugness in her eyes, "Jiang Wu, you also think we are very amazing, right!"

Actually, Jiang Ning was just remembering a line from her past life: "[These aren't ordinary red beans; these are the red beans from Wang Wei's poem.]"

Jiang Ning replied with a smile, "Yes, you all cooperated very well!"

After Hongyue finished collecting the bear blood, someone immediately stepped forward and poured some liquid from a pouch onto the brown bear.

This is juice extracted from ice plant. A special ice plant grows on this continent, and its juice has a magical preservation effect. Simply apply ice plant juice to meat, and it can stay fresh for more than ten days, even in the hot summer, without spoiling.

Unfortunately, ice plant production is limited, and it gradually withers and dies in the autumn. If there were a large quantity of ice plant, people wouldn't need to eat jerky anymore.

The hunting team members carefully applied the juices to the brown bear's skin, ensuring that every piece of meat was evenly coated. This process required patience and meticulousness, as uneven application would affect the meat's preservation.

This place is very far from their tribe; even at Sirius's speed, it would take two whole days to travel there and back.

Therefore, they need to stay here for a while, hunting as much prey as possible to ensure they bring back enough food to supply the tribe. No one would forgive themselves if they lost their hard-earned prey due to improper storage. Especially since it was the meat of a precious beast.

The bear leg roasting by the fire was already cooked through. The locals didn't mind eating raw meat, and someone immediately prepared to eat it.

This is the flesh of a strange, skeletal beast, which contains a lot of energy, so the members of the hunting team don't need to eat as much as before.

This thick brown bear leg is enough for everyone to have a taste. As for the wolves, there's nothing we can do about it. They've already gone off to hunt on their own. With two wolves of the strange bone beast level following them, there shouldn't be any problems.

Hongyue sliced ​​off a thick piece from the bear's leg and handed it to Jiang Ning, then invited everyone to start eating.

Jiang Ning took a bite and immediately felt a surge of energy flow into her body, warm and comforting. Her previously empty body seemed to be nourished and replenished.

She couldn't help but close her eyes, silently feeling this wondrous energy flowing through her body. This was the first time she had ever eaten the flesh of a ferocious beast, and the difference was so vast.

"This is the energy of a ferocious beast. This is only the lowest level of the strange-boned ferocious beast, and you can already feel the energy contained in its body. Not to mention the higher-level ferocious beasts." The system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

Jiang Ning was startled. She looked at the slice of meat in her hand with some disbelief, thinking, "If the lowest-level strange-boned beast can give me this feeling, what would the meat of higher-level beasts be like?"

The system seemed to sense Jiang Ning's confusion and slowly explained, "The higher the level of the ferocious beast, the stronger its energy. This is why large tribes live in places teeming with ferocious beasts, because they are the source of energy."

Jiang Ning paused for a moment. Now, of course she wouldn't think this was indiscriminate killing. In this world, the law of the jungle and natural selection are the laws of nature.

She was just wondering, where does the future lie?
