Stunningly beautiful young lady

The second prince also sensed the danger behind him, and his survival instinct made him speed up a bit.

"Roar!"

The big brown bear roared and pounced down.

"Hiss~"

A spurt of blood suddenly gushed from his right calf, causing him great pain and slowing him down.

"Miss Su Miao, let's fight again."

Seeing that escape was impossible, the second prince called Su Miao to start fighting again.

The second prince, wielding his sword, and Su Miao, wielding her whip, began their attack.

Although their spiritual power was not low, they lacked practical combat experience, so their fighting strength was no match for the big brown bear.

This is why, in the beginning, they didn't intend to engage in combat but instead sought opportunities to grab the Flame Grass and run away.

Soon, the Second Prince and Su Miao were at a disadvantage, and both of them were badly injured. However, the big brown bear also had many wounds on its body.

Seeing that the big brown bear was about to pounce on the second prince again, he quickly took out a talisman from his body and threw it at the big brown bear.

With a bang, the talisman on the big brown bear exploded!

The explosion tore its fur apart, caused it to bleed, and forced it to take a few steps back.

Taking advantage of the opening, the two quickly fled, running towards the edge of the forest.

At this point, the two had reached their maximum speed, but the enraged bear was not to be trifled with and continued to pursue them relentlessly, quickly catching up with them again.

Just as the two were about to run out of breath, a person covered in tattered and dirty clothes suddenly appeared in front of them—Su Qing.

Su Qing didn't expect to run into them here, but they didn't recognize her.

Because at this moment, Su Qing's face was covered in scars, and her body was tattered and dirty.

His entire demeanor is completely different from before; now he exudes confidence and aloofness.

Moreover, neither of them believed that Su Qing could survive in the forest for so long.

As the giant bear drew closer, Su Miao hurriedly shouted:

"Your Highness, quickly throw the Flaming Grass to that person, so that the bear will stop chasing us!"

The second prince was very reluctant to part with it, so he gripped the Flaming Grass tightly and accelerated forward once more.

The bear sped up again, and just as it was about to reach out its claws to grab his back, Su Miao shouted again, "Survival is the most important thing!"

The Second Prince had no more time to think and hurriedly threw the Flaming Grass at Su Qing, which landed in front of her.

Seeing his precious herb suddenly turn around, the bear indeed stopped attacking the second prince and turned its roar towards Su Qing.

Su Qing hadn't intended to take it anyway, and shrugged, saying, "I didn't take it, we're not on the same side."

But the big brown bear didn't care about any of that. It only wanted to attack whoever had the Flame Grass, so it turned around and started attacking Su Qinglai.

Seeing this, the Second Prince and Su Miao immediately left the fighting and fled for their lives.

They didn't plan to gang up on the big brown bear again; they didn't believe Su Qing could defeat it, and survival was their priority.

Seeing that the big brown bear was about to charge, Su Qing wasn't stupid.

He immediately picked up the medicinal herbs from the ground and put them in his clothes, and also picked up a piece of wood from the ground and started fighting.

"Roar!" The brown bear charged over and slapped Su Qing on the head.

Su Qing ducked and dodged, the wooden stick infused with spiritual power aimed at the big brown bear's belly, but its hide was thick and tough, and Su Qing only managed to pierce a little bit of flesh.

Su Qing quickly stepped back and sighed, "It's really bad not to have a knife. I must carry one with me next time, otherwise I can't even pierce a bear skin."

The brown bear roared in anger and swung its paws at Su Qing in front of it. Su Qing quickly retreated with a wooden stick in hand, and then launched her own attack.

After several attacks, the brown bear had several wounds of varying depths, and Su Qing also had several scratches on her body.

Although Su Qing's spiritual power level is lower, her practical combat skills and true strength are no worse than the big brown bear's.

The human and the bear were roughly equal in strength, so neither gained any advantage.

“The spiritual energy from non-close-range attacks on the bear isn’t that effective. It seems we still have to finish it off with a single close-range attack, otherwise we’ll run out of spiritual energy and be unable to cope.”

Su Qing attacked while observing the current situation.

With roughly equal strength, and the bear's thick hide making it relatively impervious to spiritual energy damage, Su Qing maneuvered while simultaneously considering a solution:

"It seems we need to find this bear's weakness and launch an attack when it's off guard."

Close-quarters combat offers little advantage, and the brown bear is also a cultivation beast with earth elemental power and a strong body, so Su Qing kept her distance and looked for an opportunity to fight.

Su Qing was just testing out how to use spiritual power, so she channeled various colors of spiritual power at the bear from a distance.

He flipped his hand and formed a seal, unleashing fire elemental power that sent smoke billowing from the bear's head.

The bear roared and slapped its head with its paws, but they were too short to reach it, so it rammed its head against the tree instead.

The fire went out, the tree fell with a loud thud, and dirt flew up from the side.

Su Qing knew that bears were strong, but she didn't expect them to be this strong.

They immediately launched a series of attacks.

"freeze!"

After releasing her water elemental power, Su Qing froze the bear.

He then released wood elemental energy to wrap around the bear's feet, and then combined it with earth elemental energy to punch the bear in the face.

After all that, Su Qing's spiritual energy was depleted by about 50%.

Seeing that spiritual power was causing it relatively little damage, Su Qing launched a fierce attack using earth spiritual power.

After several maneuvers, Su Qing launched a swift attack, risking heavy losses herself, and capitalized on the brown bear's slightly delayed reaction time after its attack.

Holding the frozen wooden stick, he infused it with earth elemental power and forcefully stabbed it into the most vulnerable part of the brown bear—its belly.

The large brown bear paw also scratched Su Qing's back, causing blood to flow instantly. It felt like it had scratched the bone, and Su Qing frowned in pain.

But she ignored the pain and immediately bent down, pulling hard downwards with a ripping sound.

The bear's belly was ripped open, exposing its internal organs, which were spilled all over the ground, creating an extremely gruesome scene.

The moment her internal organs rolled off, Su Qing immediately rolled to the side.

The brown bear was also seeing its own guts spilling out for the first time, and its reaction became sluggish.

It stared wide-eyed at the bear and roared in pain.

Taking advantage of the bear's pain, Su Qing unleashed her fire elemental power, scorching the bear's wounds. The bear's roar echoed throughout most of the forest.

"Roar! Roar~ Roar..."

Soon, the brown bear went still on the ground, the ground covered in blood and smelling of burnt meat and fur.

"Phew," Su Qingshen exhaled.

"Finally solved. Worth it, I got a Blazing Grass."

"However, Third Sister, Second Prince, I have noted down this gift for you. I will return the favor properly when I return to the Su residence."

Su Qing touched the Flaming Grass she was carrying in her bosom and left the place.

Meanwhile, the Second Prince and Su Miao had already run out of the forest.

"What a pity. I finally managed to get a Flame Grass, but I ran into a low-level high-level spirit beast. I not only lost the Flame Grass, but I also lost my Explosion Talisman and Speed ​​Talisman."

The second prince was extremely disappointed and angry, as he not only failed to get what he wanted, but also wasted a lot of good things.

"Yeah, who knew we'd run into such a powerful guy? The Flame Grass we were about to get is gone now."

Su Miao was still feeling a lingering fear as she recalled the dangerous scene that had just occurred.

"Fortunately, we met someone along the way, which allowed us to throw out the Flame Grass to save our lives, and it then shifted its attack target."

Su Miao said sullenly, "If it weren't for a scapegoat, they would have been eaten by the bear."

"That person is probably going to be eaten by a spirit beast. Spirit beasts are also wary and will eat the Flame Grass. There won't be any Flame Grass this time."

Although he survived, he was still extremely unwilling, as the elixir he had obtained had flown away.

"Let's go back and prepare for the auction in a few days, and see if there are any other good alternatives to the Flame Grass."

Despite their regret, the two could only slink away.
