Reborn Fairy Wife Takes Me on a Gaggle-Fire rampage

Chapter 219 Lu Yao Gets the Medicine

However, just as she carefully placed the picked herbs into her basket and was about to tiptoe away from this dangerous place, a chilling cold, like an icicle, suddenly struck her from behind, as if an invisible, icy hand had gripped the back of her neck. Lu Yao's body instantly stiffened, her hair standing on end. She turned around with lightning speed, her eyes scanning her surroundings with piercing light. There stood a massive black bear spirit, its body as large as a small mountain, firmly planted beside a craggy boulder not far away. The bear spirit's fur was jet black, each hair standing upright like a steel needle, radiating a chilling aura. Its sharp, bell-like eyes were fixed on her, revealing ferocity and greed, as if Lu Yao were merely a delicious prey in its eyes.

Lu Yao's heart pounded in her chest, but her mind remained exceptionally clear. She knew perfectly well that a life-or-death struggle with this ferocious black bear spirit was about to unfold. She had to use all her wisdom and extraordinary courage to have any chance of safely carrying these precious herbs away from this perilous snow-capped mountain.

Lu Yao slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and let the cold air fill her lungs. In that instant, a firm belief burned fiercely in her heart like a flame. This battle meant far more than just her own safety. Back home, her brothers lay on their sickbeds, their lives hanging by a thread, and these herbs were their only hope for survival. For her brothers' sake, she could not back down, and she could not fail.

She swiftly and decisively drew an incredibly sharp short sword from her waist. The blade gleamed with a blinding cold light in the intense sunlight, like a silver serpent ready to strike at any moment. The exquisite patterns on the sword, interwoven with light and shadow, seemed to come alive, radiating a mysterious and powerful aura.

Just then, the black bear spirit let out a deafening roar, its sound echoing through the mountains like thunder. Its massive body pounced on Lu Yao like an arrow released from a bow, creating a fierce gust of wind that made the surrounding trees tremble. Lu Yao remained calm and composed, her eyes revealing determination and steadfastness. She moved with the agility of a deer darting through the forest, skillfully using the rugged terrain to outmaneuver the black bear spirit.

She leaped lightly through the forest, each landing as graceful as a dragonfly skimming the water, making not a sound. Her figure appeared and disappeared among the dense trees, sometimes hiding behind thick tree trunks, sometimes skillfully avoiding the black bear demon's attacks by using the steep slopes. The black bear demon's massive body appeared extremely clumsy in this complex terrain; each of its pounces missed its target, infuriating it and causing it to roar in anger.

Each of Lu Yao's leaps was powerful and graceful, her body tracing beautiful arcs through the air. Her feet moved as lightly as if treading on clouds, as if she could fly freely through the mountains and forests. Her eyes remained fixed on the black bear demon's every move, searching for its weakness, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

Unable to catch Lu Yao, the black bear spirit grew even more agitated. It pounded the ground repeatedly with its powerful front paws, causing the earth to tremble slightly. The dust kicked up filled the air, forming a hazy mist. Its eyes turned bloodshot with rage, and its breath was like flames. It leaped high again, pouncing on Lu Yao, this time with even greater speed and ferocity, moving like a black lightning bolt.

Lu Yao's heart tightened, but she did not back down. Seizing the opportunity, just as the black bear demon was about to pounce, she swiftly shifted her body to the side, dodging with the agility of a swallow. Simultaneously, her short sword flashed like a silver meteor, stabbing fiercely towards the black bear demon's abdomen. With a sharp "swoosh," the blade sliced ​​through the demon's tough hide, and blood gushed out. The black bear demon cried out in pain, its massive body crashing heavily to the ground.

However, this black bear spirit was, after all, a demon that had cultivated for many years, and its vitality was extremely tenacious. It quickly rose from the ground, its eyes flashing with even more ferocious light, and launched another attack on Lu Yao. Lu Yao knew that this battle was far from over; she had to remain highly vigilant and continue to contend with this black bear spirit until she found an opportunity to completely defeat it.

During the battle, Lu Yao's every movement was full of power and beauty. Like an agile deer, she constantly sought opportunities to counterattack under the black bear's attacks. She used the sharpness of her short sword to repeatedly stab at the bear's vitals, but the bear's hide was thick and tough; each attack seemed to only provoke it, failing to inflict fatal damage. Fine beads of sweat began to appear on Lu Yao's forehead; she knew she had to end this battle as soon as possible.

After a skillful dodge, she spotted a slight opening on the black bear's side. Lu Yao concentrated all her strength and thrust her short sword straight into the bear's flank. The bear let out a deafening roar, but this time the roar was tinged with pain. Lu Yao didn't let up; she knew this might be her only chance. She continued her attack, each swing of her sword filled with an unwavering determination to win.

On the snow-covered, howling mountain peak, Lu Yao had been locked in a fierce battle with the ferocious black bear demon for a long time. The demon was as large as a mountain, each claw strike carrying overwhelming force, the swirling snowflakes like exploding cannonballs. Lu Yao moved nimbly, like a swallow darting through the snowstorm, constantly dodging the demon's attacks. The longsword in her hand gleamed with a cold light, each thrust carrying her yearning for victory and her unwavering devotion to her brother's life.

Finally, through Lu Yao's relentless efforts, she spotted an opening in the black bear demon's attack and charged forward with a sudden burst of speed. Her body moved like a black lightning bolt, leaving a trail of afterimages in the snow. The longsword in her hand pierced the black bear demon's heart, and the demon let out a deafening roar. Its massive body swayed a few times before crashing to the ground, sending up a cloud of snowflakes.

Lu Yao gasped for breath, her legs trembling slightly. She had won. But this victory hadn't come easily; her body was covered in wounds, and her clothes were soaked with sweat and snow. She looked down at the black bear demon at her feet, her heart filled with mixed emotions. This was the first time she had fought such a powerful enemy, and every attack and dodge had drained her of a great deal of physical and mental strength.

She didn't have time to rest for long and quickly looked around.

Lu Yao knew that she had not only defeated a powerful enemy, but also overcome her own inner fear. During the battle with the Black Bear Demon, she had felt despair and fear many times; the Black Bear Demon's power almost made her lose confidence.

As she walked, she recalled her brother's suffering. His pale face, his weak breathing—every detail was etched deeply into her mind. Her brother was her only family in this world; they had weathered countless storms together, supporting each other as they grew up. Now that he was on his deathbed, how could she bear to watch him leave?
