Chapter 174 Killing the Beast King, Entering the Beast's Den
"The creatures that landed were giant beasts that were over two meters, nearly three meters tall."
If he stood up, he would probably be four or five meters tall.
Even elephants are insignificant in the face of such a behemoth—this is the king of beasts!
The creature at the top of the food chain.
The sheer power of that force alone could shatter ordinary city walls.
An ordinary person would be so horrified by the sheer size of this body that they would find it hard to breathe and their thoughts would freeze—even a wizard would be caught off guard and flustered.
Fortunately, Luo Ang was a man from overseas, a man who had seen the world—he was a "chargeman," and Andy's charging momentum was much more frightening than that of the Bear King.
Therefore, when the bear king charged out, Luo Ang was also surprised, but his surprise was not because he was shocked by the bear king's invincible aura, but because he was surprised by the bear king's size.
How did this land creature grow to such a huge size? How much prey would it take to support such a gigantic bear king?
Can the surrounding ecosystem really support such a giant beast?
The moment Loen saw the Bear King, he was convinced that Ashman and the others were right.
This hibernating bear king, along with this cave, really appeared here suddenly. Otherwise, such a large bear king would have left traces outside no matter what.
Of course, what surprised Luo Ang the most about the Bear King was its true nature.
Such a large creature was actually just an ordinary wild beast, not a ferocious beast, much less a magical beast.
Therefore, Luo Ang's surprise only lasted for a moment.
When the bear king appeared in front of Luo Ang from his sight, Luo Ang had already suppressed his surprise.
Then, Luo Ang drew his long sword from his waist and calmly moved to the side.
The moment the bear king's head emerged from the cave, Luo Ang drew his longsword and slashed down in an extremely simple and unadorned way—the New Year's Greeting Sword Technique!
The moment the longsword struck, Luo Ang knew clearly that while his sword could pierce the bear king's fur, it would be difficult to cut through its bones. His understanding of the bear king was far from the level of a master butcher who could penetrate the gaps between seemingly insignificant bones.
So, the instant the longsword slashed down, Luo Ang immediately unleashed a slashing technique.
Under the power of the magic, the bear king's neck was severed.
The moment the slashing technique severed the bear king's neck, the longsword moved accordingly, cutting all the way down the severed neck.
It wasn't until the bear king's head hit the ground and the remaining carcass continued to slam forward for more than ten steps before crashing to the ground that the hunting team came to their senses.
Looking at the bear king's enormous size and head, the group of hunters were speechless—they all realized one thing: if Lo Ang wasn't there, no matter how many of them there were, they would be meaningless in the face of this massive bear king.
Of course, what surprised them even more was that the knight in front of them killed the Bear King with just one sword!
There was absolutely no entanglement, back-and-forth, or anything like that I had anticipated.
Faced with this unimaginable power disparity, even those who initially had no fear of Luo Ang couldn't help but become reserved. Nie Nie dared not utter a word when facing Luo Ang.
"Captain Ashman." Loon's voice startled the hunters from their daze.
"Honorable knight, what are your orders?" Ashman asked blankly, feeling as if his mind was a complete blank and he had lost the ability to think.
"Captain Ashman, I think you should send someone back to the village to call for reinforcements," Loon said, pointing to the dead bear king.
As hibernation neared its end, the fat stored in its body had been completely depleted, making the bear king appear thin and frail overall.
Even so, the bear king still weighed several thousand kilograms.
The hunting team alone was not enough to carry the bear king's carcass back.
When one hunter went back to call for reinforcements, Loon was already collecting the still-dry leaves and twigs in the woods. The hunter next to him didn't know what he was doing, but he didn't stand idly by either, and helped him tidy up.
Soon, under Loon's command, the leaves and twigs were transported to the entrance of the cave.
Then light it.
Thick smoke rose from it, and then Loon used his mental power to grasp it and push it little by little into the cave.
—It was at this moment that Luo Ang suddenly realized that the smoke from the burning could actually be used as a cloud of mist for hiding.
Once he realized this, Luo Ang's movements became even smoother.
Soon, under Loon's control, the smoke was pushed into the cave and rolled around several times, and the stench that had filled the cave was swept away.
At this moment, Loon stepped into the cave and went deeper into it.
The cave is over ten meters long, dark and deep.
As they ventured deeper into the cave, even the wizard Loon felt as if he were about to be swallowed by the earth.
Soon, they reached the deepest part of the cave, where the bear king hibernated.
A large pile of soil was piled up here, and the bear king had pressed it into a deep pit. Because the bear king had been lying here for a long time, his breath had deeply penetrated into the soil. Even though Luo Ang had cleaned it with smoke, there was still a faint fishy smell.
Beside the mound of earth was the bear king's feeding trough.
A huge pile of unidentifiable bone fragments lay here, while some unknown wild grasses grew extremely tenaciously and lushly nearby.
Lo Ang's gaze fell directly on the bear king's bed, which was the mound of earth.
The cave's structure was completely visible—the only potentially problematic spot was this mound of earth.
In this place, where the situation was unclear and the stench was overwhelming, Luo Ang dared not use his mental power to explore it recklessly.
So he borrowed tools from the hunter who had come in with him, refused his offer of help, and dug the mound of earth open himself, shovel by shovel.
During the excavation, Luo Ang carefully enveloped himself with his mental energy, preparing to activate the "hidden in the clouds" ability at any time.
In fact, he had a better strategy when he ambushed Anselor last time—after gaining the upper hand, he immediately activated the solidified hiding cloud.
The mist that emerged along with the spell, however thin, was enough for Loon to hide within it. Even if this process only lasted a moment, it was enough for Loon to break free from Anselo's mental lock. He no longer needed to risk entering the glass room and using his own eyes to lock onto the spell, as he had done before.
However, having learned from his previous experience, Loon is now well-prepared before embarking on his "adventure".
Soon, the mound of earth was dug up.
A blazing red light appeared before Luo Ang's eyes.
