Boonie Bears: Another World Fantasy

She was trying her best to avoid conflict...

He followed silently behind, treading lightly, feeling that every sound he made was sinful.

What's wrong with me?

After calming down a bit, Sharp struggled with whether or not to tell her the truth.

Tell her that from now on, the two of them will have to live a nocturnal, clandestine life, constantly on guard against those around them, and completely abandon their current identities.

how can that be possible?

Sharp could not accept such oppressive conditions.

Naya gave him a reason to continue living there. From complete strangers, they had grown into mutual support. Although he hadn't yet planned to take things further, Sharp could clearly feel the unwavering bond between them.

"Sharp, have you ever seen the ocean?"

That night, the way her sincere eyes reflected the starlight was truly...beautiful.

I'm sorry, Naya.

A sense of guilt slowly rose in my heart.

He apologized in this way.

A strange sensation came from my chest. For some reason, a pair of hands were placed in front of me.

"Little Na?"

"Shh-"

She turned around and warily shielded him behind her.

Sharp was then able to pull himself out of his self-blame.

"What happened?" he asked in a low voice.

Naya raised her hand to cover his mouth, focusing intently on the breeze carrying impurities. The bustling town seemed to be paused, falling silent instantly.

He stared at her without moving.

Several crows made unpleasant cries, flew over the eaves, and circled in the air.

“The All-Seeing Eye…” Naya murmured absentmindedly.

"They're catching up with us."

"Who?"

"Come on!"

She grabbed Sharp's hand and rushed towards the hotel.

……

"Oops."

Naya suddenly stopped just a dozen steps from the gate. Looking down the street, she saw a group of masked men in black robes gathered together, seemingly searching for something.

"Go in first."

Sharp was shoved into a nearby alley. It looked spacious at first glance, but once inside, it turned out to be terribly narrow.

"It's stuck... stuck."

He said embarrassedly.

Seeing this, Naya, who moved freely here, had no choice but to return to help him.

After a long and arduous struggle of pulling and dragging, they finally managed to get Sharp out of the alley. Little did they know that the men in black robes had already spread out there.

On the street, on the rooftop, on the eaves.

Like a shadow.

"Who are they?" With the events in the Enchanted Forest still vivid in his mind, Sharp couldn't help but suspect that they were related to the Naya's clan.

"I don't know, but someone was definitely scanning this area with the All-Seeing Eye just now..."

"All eyes?"

"That's the high priests' special ability; their eyes can see what they want to see."

Lefève?

Sharp felt nauseous just thinking about what that terrifying woman had done to him.

Then, Naya's gaze fell upon a tall man approaching them, who seemed to be following them. She frowned.

“No, my face is too obvious,” she said hesitantly. “It will be exposed very quickly…”

Sharp suddenly pulled her into his arms, pretending to give her a loving hug, using this as a way to cover up the deer tattoo on her face.

Instantly, Naya's face turned as red as a boiling teapot.

"Relax, they haven't taken any action yet."

"Ah."

Putting aside his motives, his chest was indeed very strong. It gave her a sense of security she had never felt before.

In this embrace, Naya gradually lost herself...

After passing several intersections, Sharp looked back and froze in place. The tall man was still relentlessly following him.

"What do we do, Sharp? We can't get back to our room now." She instinctively reached for her lower back, but found nothing.

"I didn't bring my knife or bow."

“I hope he won’t do anything,” he replied.

First, he was inexplicably handed a note in a coffee shop, and then he was relentlessly chased by a group of "men in black." Sharp wondered if he had really made a mistake.

Suddenly, the man sped up and rushed towards them.

"Damn it," he warned, "Get out of here."

Just as he was about to use a discarded refrigerator placed on the sidewalk as a temporary hiding place, a sharp knife was suddenly placed against Sharp's neck.

"Don't move, kid," the strange man said with a sinister smile.

"Sharp!"

Naya realized she and Sharp were in danger, and she assumed an offensive stance. The man brandished his knife threateningly, restraining Sharp, and retreated step by step to the end of a side path. Several people were already waiting there.

"Tell your little one not to be so nervous."

He applied a little force, and a bloody mark quickly appeared on Sharp's neck.

"Let him go!"

She moved a little closer and said in a stern voice.

"Take it easy, take it easy." The man stopped in his tracks.

"Xiao Na, it's alright, don't make a move yet..."

Sharp tried his best to calm her down, and several similar images flashed through his mind.

“What do you want to do, kill me?” he asked.

The man had an indescribable medicinal smell about him. The arms he had wrapped around my neck were so thick that I couldn't break free.

At that moment, the tall stalker who had been following them also blocked the exit of the path.

"Kill you? How much is your life worth?" He licked his lips, his tone dripping with greed.

"We want her."

All eyes turned to Naya. The tall man pulled out a police stun gun. The only sound in the dark alley was the crackling of electricity.

This was clearly premeditated.

"Do it."

They surrounded her and launched an attack from all sides.

"Don't push your luck!" Sharp kicked the man's knee. But the man didn't budge.

The man snorted coldly and slashed Sharp's chin with his knife.

Bright red blood spilled out, forming streams of blood down his jaw.

"Do not--"

While busy dodging attacks, Naya's heart broke at the sight.

"Little Na, hurry up and run!"

Sharp struggled and shouted at her.

The man grew impatient, grabbed him by the back of the neck, and roughly threw him to the ground.

"Don't push me!" he yelled at Sharp.

The sharp tip of the knife was pressed against his soft throat. Sharp's face flushed red, and he crossed his arms, trying his best to stop it from falling.

Damn...

Staring at the blade magnified infinitely in his pupils, he was filled with utter despair.

Naya punched the man leading the charge in the face. The force of his run combined with the impact of her punch sent him flying.

The men in black scattered. Their movements were swift and cunning, but Naya reacted even faster. She leaped lightly, performing a backflip to dodge the first man's attack, simultaneously tapping her toes against the wall to propel herself towards the second. He swung a punch at her, but Naya ducked, deftly avoiding the blow. Her fist followed closely, striking him squarely in the abdomen. The man doubled over in pain, losing his balance, and Naya delivered a knee strike that knocked him unconscious.

"You can jump really well."

The tall man tried to attack her from behind. Anticipating this, she whirled around and delivered a side kick, knocking the stun gun from his hand. Seeing his attack had been foiled, he attempted to use his weight to overpower Naya. She seized the opportunity, tripping him with a sweeping leg kick.

Sharp was exhausted and could only watch helplessly as the dagger slowly penetrated deeper into the enemy's territory.

"!"

Seeing the critical situation, Naya quickly got up, picked up the dagger that had fallen to the ground, and threw it in the direction of the man.

The flying blade pierced his shoulder with pinpoint accuracy. His face contorted in agony as he screamed in agony.

"Get out of my way!" Sharp roared. Taking advantage of the man's attention still being focused on his bleeding right shoulder, he seized the opportunity to get up and shove him aside, firmly controlling the wildly swinging knife.

"Little Na! Behind you!"

Noticing Sharp's terrified expression, Naya, realizing danger lurking behind her, immediately assumed a defensive stance.

Unexpectedly, the tall man saw through her trick. The upward punch was just a feint; the downward left kick was her real purpose.

A military boot with steel plates struck her soft abdomen. Naya was kicked several feet away and crashed to the ground.

She curled up in a ball, dry heaving, and vomited blood.

Seeing this, Sharp lunged forward and restrained the tall man. He tried to stop him with this clumsy method. But what he received in return was a brutal blow aimed straight at his face.

He covered his bloodied nose and rolled to the side.

I underestimated you a little earlier.

At this moment, only Naya and the tall man remained, still facing off on the path that had been so fierce just moments before.

He took off his cumbersome coat and pulled a field knife from his thigh.

"Come on, little girl, let me see what you've got." The tall man's words were laced with unwarranted provocation, and his eyes were filled with smugness.

Naya rolled up her sleeves and swallowed the blood in her mouth. She picked up the dagger that had fallen to the side with her toe and held it in her hand in reverse.

In an instant, the glint of blades flashed in every corner of the path.

……

The streetlights were unusually not turned on.

The entire town was shrouded in an eerie darkness.

Zhao Lin pressed herself against the exposed brick wall, groping her way forward.

"It was just here a moment ago, where did it go?"

She felt her actions in the coffee shop were misunderstood. She remembered that after handing over the note, the long-haired man hurriedly left with the girl, looking panicked.

Although there is no evidence to prove whether she is really related to the Deer Clan, all the fragmented clues try to tell her that this ancient, unrecognized race has not disappeared.

They still share this planet with humanity.

An inverted triangle... a red hair tie... finely polished animal teeth on the earlobes. She didn't believe that this was just a simple cosplay that could be concealed.

And that anonymous email...

There are too many things that need to be answered one by one.

But what can you do when she's an annoying daily newspaper reporter who relentlessly pursues the truth?

Not far away, it sounded like two ferocious beasts were tearing each other apart. The dim space echoed with the harsh scraping sound of metal clashing against metal.

Sensing danger, Zhao Lin knew something was wrong and looked around for a weapon to defend herself. She grabbed a broken stainless steel water pipe, mustered her courage, and quietly approached the source of the sound.

……

In a confined space, Naya was fighting one-on-one against an opponent several times her size. Almost all of Naya's usual fighting skills were rendered useless, as her opponent already had the upper hand in terms of strength, not to mention that he also had a deadly weapon.

“Naya…”

Covered in wounds, Sharp couldn't even stand up on his own. The constantly bleeding wounds made him feel cold.

Why can't I control my body...?

There was nothing he could do but watch as she was forced to retreat.

The tall man swung his right arm, his combat knife sweeping down with lightning speed. The strike was swift and ruthless, the blade whistling through the air.

Although she tried her best to dodge, the blade still grazed Naya's left arm. The sharp pain from the subcutaneous nerves temporarily rendered her unable to resist.

He lunged at her with all his might, pinning her firmly against the wall, rendering her completely immobile. A razor-sharp knife was pointed directly at Naya's heart, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Faced with such a perilous situation, Naya did not sit idly by. She swiftly bent forward, simultaneously raising her right knee and placing it between them to forcefully block the approaching chest. She did everything in her power to stop the deadly weapon from striking.

"I could have taken you away in a gentler way, but it seems I'll have to make you bleed a little..."

He spoke viciously, slowly moving the tip of the blade upwards, aiming precisely at Naya's delicate face. The cold, hard steel blade merely touched her skin, immediately leaving a gruesome wound from which blood seeped, flowing down her cheek. And the falling drop of blood landed precisely in the center of the inverted triangle symbol drawn on her face, as if splitting it in two.

At this moment, Naya was like a pure white rose that had been stained with a blood-red color.

Despite her efforts to suppress her deep-seated fear of death, tears still streamed uncontrollably from her eyes.

"asshole......"

Witnessing all this, Sharp, enduring excruciating pain, staggered to his feet. Completely forgetting his own suffering, he seized the opportunity when the man was off guard, grabbed a sharp piece of rock, and plunged it viciously into the man's left cheek.

"You dare to slash her face?" Sharp demanded angrily.

The spurting blood splattered all over Sharp's wrist. The tall man was stunned by the sudden attack, his eyes bulging out, and he released Naya at the same time.

A surge of rage welled up within him, and Sharp suddenly became frenzied, his innermost resentment completely unleashed. In that moment, nothing else seemed to matter…

A force surged into his hands, and he managed to overturn a man a head taller than himself, locking his neck tightly and choking him until he couldn't breathe.

"You...you little bastard..."

The man suddenly twisted his wrist, and the sharp blade in his hand pierced Sharp's waist like lightning! One, two... each cut went deep, and blood gushed out, as if forming a scarlet river.

“Naya…stab him…” Sharp managed to squeeze out the words through clenched teeth, his voice low and hoarse. His face was as pale as a sheet, yet his body was burning with the last vestiges of life. Clearly, he was not far from death.

Her hand trembled slightly, and the dagger she had been holding tightly in her palm now felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

"I...I'm going to kill him?" The thought flashed through her mind, filling her with fear and confusion.

Just then, the man suddenly delivered a powerful backward elbow strike, successfully breaking free from Sharp's grasp. However, Naya was caught in a fierce internal struggle: "But I... can't kill anyone..."

Looking at Sharp, who lay sprawled on the ground like a puppet with its strings cut, Naya's heart grew heavier. His breathing became unusually weak, almost inaudible. Naya tried to hear his once-familiar heartbeat, but all she heard was deathly silence.

what to do……

"If one day the golden antlers disappear, the secrets of this forest will soon be revealed to the public. I hope that at that time you can continue to live for yourself."

"Not for the deer clan, and certainly not for the golden antlers..."

Grandpa sat on a rock. All around him was lush greenery.

“You can save him, Naya.”

The girl clenched her fists and roared. The sharp blade in her hand became a tool to vent her anger. At this moment, she was no longer bound by shackles.

"Go and be brave and be yourself!"
