Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

The shout startled everyone. They instinctively looked in the direction from which the sound came and, sure enough, saw a huge black bear emerging from the woods.

It is large in size, has thick fur, and looks very fierce.

Although Shu Bao's expression was calm, Cheng Ya Jun didn't really believe him, and even Deng Ming Zhou's face showed a wavering expression.

"Are you scared?"

Zhu Xing moved closer to Shi Xiaxia and whispered, "Can I hug your arm?"

Shi Xiaxia rolled her eyes, thinking to herself that this guy was really shameless, still in the mood to joke at a time like this.

Soon, the giant bear appeared before everyone, each step carrying a heavy sense of power.

This black bear is enormous, standing over two meters tall, like a moving hill. Its fur is jet black and shiny, giving it a tough and solid appearance.

Especially its pair of thick bear paws are quite eye-catching.

They are like giant palm-leaf fans, covered with sharp claws, like sharp hooks. With just a gentle swipe, they can easily tear apart any obstacle that stands in their way.

Beneath the bear's body, four thick legs, as solid and powerful as iron pillars, steadily support the entire body.

When it saw the few tiny humans not far ahead, its eyes revealed ferocity, as if it would tear them apart and swallow them whole at any moment.

Immediately afterwards, the black bear opened its blood-red maw and let out a deafening roar that seemed to shake the entire forest.

Upon hearing this roar, many people's faces turned ashen, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

However, the mouse remained calm and composed, its expression unchanged and its heart pounding, as if it were already used to such thrilling and exciting scenes.

In contrast, Su Zhizhi, Zhao Wu, and the other three screamed in terror and frantically searched for a hiding place.

They hid behind the unsafe tent, listening intently to the sounds outside, not daring to peek out.

At this moment, Deng Mingzhou was so frightened that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground, staring in terror at the huge black bear in front of him, his eyes filled with fear and helplessness.

Although Cheng Yajun didn't collapse to the ground like Deng Mingzhou, she was also pale and trembling slightly, clearly having been greatly frightened.

Just then, Rat Baby took a few steps forward unhurriedly and stood in front of the black bear.

Upon seeing the baby rat, the black bear immediately became alert, adopting an attack posture with its eyes filled with vigilance.

And so, the man and the bear faced off for two or three minutes.

Finally, the black bear suddenly roared to the sky, turned around, and left.

Mouse Baby, on the other hand, looked smug and patted his chest, saying, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, it definitely won't dare to do anything to us!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaxia couldn't help but show an expression of admiration.

Looking at the baby mouse, he smiled and praised, "Wow, tour guide, you're amazing! Even such a fierce black bear is afraid of you!"

"Of course!" Mouse Baby said proudly, "I'm very powerful!"

As he spoke, he observed the reactions of those around him, secretly pleased with himself.

However, when he noticed Xiaxia's gaze, he suddenly realized that she might be trying to trick him into revealing information.

So he quickly added, "I'll tell you a secret: I actually bought equipment and fought this black bear before, which is why it's afraid of me."

After saying that, he didn't forget to put on a mysterious look and continued, "I'm just trying to earn more money to support my family. I didn't kill any black bears, so you can't report me after you get out!"

"So this is ah!"

Zhu Xing looked at Shu Bao thoughtfully, a deep meaning flashing in her eyes, and said with a slight smile, "Of course we won't, tour guide, don't worry."

Zhu Xing then looked away.

Shu Bao was startled by Zhu Xing's gaze and felt a little flustered.

He subconsciously scratched his head, trying to hide his unease, while also feeling puzzled.

He shouldn't be afraid of an ordinary mortal...

But the look in Zhu Xing's eyes just now...

Then, Shu Bao secretly glanced at Zhu Xing and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the other party was no longer paying attention to him.

He wondered to himself why Zhu Xing was looking at him like that, but he quickly dismissed the thought.

Mouse Baby's clever little eyes darted around, then suddenly turned to Su Zhizhi and the others, asking in a relaxed tone, "Hey, you four, what are your plans next? Do you want to continue into the mountains, or are you planning to turn back?"

By this time, the black bear had left, leaving the four of them slumped on the ground, panting heavily.

Their faces were as pale as paper, and their bodies trembled with fear.

Nevertheless, their eyes were filled with admiration as they looked at the baby mouse.

They never imagined that this small, unassuming little mouse could scare away an incredibly ferocious black bear.

However, at this moment, faced with the question about the baby rat, none of the four dared to speak easily.

They were terrified of making the wrong decision and losing their lives at Baishui Mountain.

After a while, someone finally broke the silence.

Hua Ye spoke first, "Guide, are you also heading into the deep mountains? If so, may I come with you?"

Upon hearing this, Su Zhizhi hurriedly shouted, "Hua Ye! Don't do anything rash! Going into the mountains is too dangerous! What if we accidentally encounter other ferocious wild animals?"

Even if the scenery in the mountains is beautiful, you still have to be alive to appreciate it!

Immediately afterward, Song Yifeng echoed with a worried expression, "Yes! It is indeed too dangerous!"

However, despite everyone's persuasion, Hana firmly shook her head, indicating that her mind was made up.

He then said to the others, "If you want to leave, you may go. But I must go, and I will not change my mind no matter what!"

At this moment, Su Zhizhi's face showed a hesitant expression.

After careful consideration, Song Yifeng turned to look at Shi Xiaxia and the others, and finally resolutely said, "Alright, I've decided to go too!"

Upon seeing this, the baby mouse was overjoyed and couldn't stop smiling.

Overwhelmed with excitement, his already small eyes narrowed into slits.

With a delighted smile on his face, he rubbed his hands together excitedly and said, "Now that they've joined, there are eight people in the team. What are you two afraid of? Why don't you join them too?"
