78 – Bear Zone (2)

bear.

Chester’s Trauma.

Even if the bear on the floating island is smaller than the bear outside, that doesn’t mean the bear is weak.

they are strong

At least on the lower level of the floating island, it always occupies the top predator position.

Even if crocodiles appear during the hot season and ant wolves reign as top predators when the island gets cold, bears are always with them.

They are among the largest of the creatures that live in the lower levels of the floating island.

Its size alone is intimidating, but even more so, it is armed with tough fur, thick hide, fat layer, and hard muscles, making it impervious to attacks.

As for how strong they are, bears rarely die of anything other than a natural death on the Wandering Islands.

Even more so, such bears actively hunt during this time, expanding their territory to prepare for hibernation like ant wolves.

– Kreurreureung!

– Kwang! kong!

That day, a colony of 13 ant wolves and a bear encountered each other.

The ant-wolf secretly surrounded the bear as usual and attacked it, but the attack of the ant-wolf stopped short of tearing the bear’s skin.

On the other hand, the bear killed the ant wolf by slashing its neck with a simple front paw swipe.

– Wow!

After killing one ant wolf, the bear shook its whole body and ran rampant, and attacked another ant wolf with three ant wolves attached to its body.

one at a time.

Even if he couldn’t kill it, the bear trampled on the ant-wolf, leaving a life-threatening fatal wound.

It was said that the antwolves at this time were so ferocious that even bears rushed to hunt them, but bears were not easy opponents for them.

You have to risk your life.

However, at this time, the problem was that the ant-wolf’s eyes went back, probably because of hormones.

Those who are usually smart and back down if they feel the slightest danger become more persistent.

Like the ant wolf that kept running at Chester until there were only three left.

Now these antwolves continued to attack the bear even as their comrades died.

and after a while

In the corner of the forest stained red with the blood of the ant wolf, the bear enjoyed a leisurely dinner.

Unlike those who hurriedly finish their meal or move their prey to a safe place to eat, worrying about the coming of creatures attracted by the smell of overflowing blood and shad.

It was a very leisurely and stately meal.

* * *

Chester checked the mark on the tree.

A territorial mark made by a bear standing up on its feet and scratching a tree with its claws.

Chester, who lightly stroked it, felt that they had entered the bear territory in earnest.

Nothing has changed.

There’s no such thing as a change in the air or something strange.

But as far as I know, I see it.

Knowing how sensitive bears are to their territory, Chester felt nervous and terrified at the mere thought of entering bear territory.

When Chester’s expression was not serious, Moniana Ant also became nervous.

bear.

I heard and heard from Chester how terrifying a bear is.

If you were to deal with 20 ant wolves and a bear, Chester confidently said that he would deal with 20 ant wolves and not a bear.

‘Is it that strong?’

To Monia, who had never personally felt the fear of bears, bears were one of the few cute creatures on the island.

round ears.

Little eyes.

In addition, because of the fur, the overall appearance is round and cute.

It was hard to feel fear just by looking at it.

But Monia trusted Chester’s experience and knowledge more than her own feelings.

When Chester says it’s dangerous, it’s dangerous.

And soon after, Monia learned why bears are so dangerous.

“Hick.”

“Well.”

Not long after entering the bear area, the sight of tragedy caught the eye of two people and an animal.

Blood spilled and stained the forest red.

Flesh scattered all over the place.

Insects or small animals clinging to the intestines or flesh.

When the green forest suddenly turned red like the scene of a massacre, Monia stepped back in embarrassment.

“… … What is this?”

“It must have been a bear.”

“… … Why so terribly.”

“yes? no. The bear just hunted. Looking at the corpse, is it an ant wolf?”

Chester looked at the trail and decided to back off.

“Let’s go back. Judging from the condition, it seems like it’s been a few hours since we hunted, but it’s better not to be close.”

Then he turned around and explained.

“The bear didn’t intentionally brutally tear and kill the ant wolf.”

“Yes? of course?”

“Because the ant wolves who were attacked by the bear kept running around and attacking, blood must have been splattered everywhere in the process.”

At the same time, as the bear killed the ant-wolf here and there in the process, naturally, the bodies were scattered here and there.

After the bear ate it and left, other beasts would have scattered more and more as they touched the corpse.

“However, it is an undeniable fact that it was the bear that inflicted the wound so deep that it bleeds like this.”

Chester pointed to a corpse.

“You see that?”

When Chester showed the wounds at some point on the corpse, Monia examined them carefully.

“… … .”

“Do you know what that is?”

“No, um.”

“The bones broke at once. It was also a bone hidden in the thick thigh meat.”

The thigh bone is thick and hard.

In addition, the thigh is a part that occupies a large axis of the body where more muscle and fat are attached than other parts.

This part is the same from humans to dogs and horses, as well as chickens playing around in the yard and frogs singing songs by the stream.

His thick thighs were shattered to the bone in one blow.

‘If it’s that thick… .’

Monia compared the ant wolf’s thighs with her own.

No matter how thin Monia is, there is a basic difference in weight class, so Monia’s thighs are much stronger and thicker.

However, it didn’t seem like he would survive the attack that shattered his thigh.

“Mmm.”

Chester nodded as Monia’s expression deteriorated.

“Be careful.”

“Yes. I guess it should be.”

Chester looked at Ant after seeing that Monia was nervous.

Ant has been wandering around Chester since he saw this scene, feeling restless.

It seems to be frightened, even hiding its tail between its crotch, so its gait is hesitant.

‘Ant was scared too.’

I understand.

Chester himself was afraid.

‘Even though he’s small, a bear is still a bear.’

It’s a bear that I only ran away from, carefully observing from a distance every day.

After confirming the clear traces of hunting, he praises himself for making the right choice.

However, Chester led Monia and Ant to continue exploring the bear area.

When I explored the ant-wolf area, I discovered a lot of new things.

Maybe something you can find in this bear area will help you in your next life on the island, or getting out of the island, or getting through the winter.

As much as there is such a possibility, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to explore the bear territory now that I have a weapon called a red pepper powder bomb.

The three of them wandered around the forest without speaking for a long time.

While wandering around, I also discovered something new.

“Chester. Isn’t this the same tree as our home?”

“Yeah. It’s much smaller than our house, but I’ve never seen it like this.”

Chester and Monia’s home is the hardest tree they’ve found on the floating island.

The hardest thing I’ve found is that it’s harder than a stone or a machete.

‘This is worth taking.’

Chester and Monia dug up a tree that was two fingers thick and reached its waist and put it in a basket.

After taking the tree like that, the two continued walking.

I found plants I had never seen before, and animals I had never seen before.

Of course, you can’t consistently visit the bear zone, so it’s hard to reap any long-term benefits from your findings, but it was nice to just be sure there wasn’t anything ‘worth exploring’ in this zone.

Because I’ll never set foot here again.

“… … .”

Monia walked through the forest, constantly looking around in tension.

It wasn’t his usual searching behavior, but he was wary of his surroundings out of fear.

‘I hope there’s nothing here!’

Then you will never come here again!

I only watched it from a distance, but I thought the bear looked pretty cute, so I canceled it.

A monster that can create such a sight is cute on the outside?

It was more terrible.

Monia didn’t want to face the bear.

At least, Ant, who had been nervous a while ago, continued to explore the forest and went around as usual as if his tension had eased a little.

Monia also tried to find her composure while watching Ant, but it wasn’t easy.

I just pray that the search will end without anything happening as it is.

However, things in the world did not return as Monia had hoped.

“ah!”

A cry close to a scream.

Surprisingly, it came out of Chester’s mouth, not Monia’s.

“Hey?! Why, why, why why, why?!”

Embarrassed Monia stuttered the question, but Chester didn’t respond to Monia’s words and hugged her and carefully hid herself.

“… … !”

After signaling Ant to hide as well, Chester pointed somewhere.

“There is a bear over there.”

At those words, Monia’s body stiffened.
