Chapter 66: Hunt and Thunder Strike (1)

The hunter team left White Plains Town and followed a guide to the meeting point. In the evening, they arrived at the target location, beside a sentry post.

This place was a rolling plain with no cover. According to the sentry’s prediction of the trajectory for the operation, the two Claw Rending Bears would arrive soon.

Under Weber’s orders, many hunters began to check their equipment and prepare for battle. Everyone knew that this was a fierce battle, and the atmosphere was tense.

Zhou Jing was silently wiping his long saber while thinking about how to snatch a kill.

At this moment, Barong suddenly came to his side and instructed him again.

“Jason, you lack experience. Pay attention to our actions. Just work with the team from the side.”

“I’m aware.”

Zhou Jing nodded and glanced at his teammates.

In the main attack team he was in, Barong and three others were in charge of pulling the front. The other five were the damage output team. He and Weiss were both free roamers, meant to move around to deal damage.

On the restraining team, Weber’s facial muscles were tense, and he had a serious expression as if he was facing a great enemy. He silently sharpened his knife. As the tallest person present, he took the initiative to take on the most difficult mission, fully implementing the spirit of greater responsibility with greater ability.

Zhou Jing thought to himself.

“The last time I fought the white spider beast, Barong led a group of ordinary hunters to ambush it with a trap. This time, my teammates are all extraordinary mutant hunters, but I have no choice but to fight head-on. I wonder what will happen..”

Suddenly, a roar came from afar.

“Aooooo —”

Everyone’s expressions tightened as they looked in the direction of the voice.

On the top of a small hill in the distance, two black Claw Rending Bearss were running towards them with large strides. The ground was even trembling from the impact of their charge.

The Claw Rending Bears were five meters tall and covered in thick black fur. Its two bear paws were disproportionately large, and its claws were extremely long, shining like steel.

There were still some burns and wounds on their bodies. These were the injuries left behind when they broke through the trap defense line set up by the town’s sentries. However, all the wounds looked light. The pits, spikes, flames, and other traps that were enough to severely injure most mutated beasts left only some superficial wounds on the thick-skinned Claw Rending Bears.

Although their fur was weak to fire, with the Slashing Claw Bear’s weight, as long as it rolled a few times on the ground, the flames would be extinguished.

“Drink the potions!”

Weber ordered in a deep voice. He took out two bottles of hunter’s potion and drank them all.

All the hunters moved almost at the same time as they drank the potions and empty bottles landed on the meadow.

Zhou Jing also drank a bottle of Hunter’s Potion. He could vaguely feel that he seemed to have gotten a little lighter.

However, before he could think further, Weber had already taken off the giant sword on his back. He held it with both hands and roared out loud.

“Go!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Weber rushed out first, followed by his three teammates.

“The one on the left is ours!” Barong also took out his battle ax. With a roar, he charged forward.

Zhou Jing took a deep breath, grabbed the heavy saber on his back, and ran with the team.

In the next moment, more than ten hunters collided with the two Claw Rending Bears!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In an instant, human figures filled the sky.

The few people who were fighting head-on were sent flying by the Claw Rending Bears in an instant and landed on the meadow. However, they quickly got up and continued attacking.

The huge force from their collision also stopped the momentum of the two Claw Rending Bears.

“Roar!” The bears roared in anger and swung their claws, bringing with them a powerful wind pressure that flattened the weeds around them.

Weber’s giant blade and Barong’s battle ax slashed out, each catching the claw attacks of different bears.

Clang! Clang!

Sparks flew as claws bounced off the weapons.

The terrifying recoil sent the two of them flying. Barong was sent rolling along the ground, dredging up a trench as he shot backward.

Although Weber was not in such a sorry state, the giant blade was also raised high by the recoil, causing him to take more than ten steps back. His weapon almost fell from his hand.

Ignoring the numbness in his arm, Weber shouted.

“Separate them!”

He led the restraining team and pulled the attention of one of the bears away from the battlefield. Meanwhile, the main team pulled in another direction to attract the aggro of the other Claw Rending Bear.

After several tries, everyone finally separated the two and turned the area into two battlefields.

Although the Claw Rending Bear had a powerful body, it was still a beast. The hunters understood its habits, so everyone could think of ways to pull the aggro.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Every claw of the Claw Rending Bear was powerful and heavy. It not only swept up a whistling wind with each move but even moved agilely. From time to time, it would also roll agilely, far more powerful than the White Spider Monster in the past.

However, in Zhou Jing’s field of vision, his insight brought about by his combat intuition was used again. He predicted and observed every move of the Claw Rending Bear.

With his supernatural body strengthened by the mutant blood, his movements could completely keep up with the battle. Although the Claw Rending Bear’s attacks were fierce, he dodged them with ease.

Although the current battle was more dangerous, to the current Zhou Jing, it was far easier than when he faced the White Spider.

However, the hunters were in a dangerous situation. The bear’s huge claws swept out continuously, creating ravines in the ground with loud bangs.

The hunters could only transform into rolling masters and only had time to attack once or twice when they were dodging.

On the other hand, the restraining team was even more tragic. Weber had forcefully taken on the Claw Rending Bears and was also beaten until he could only roll around on the ground. His face was covered in dust, and there was no room for him to attack at all. He could only stall for time and hope that the main attack team could open up the situation.

Zhou Jing followed the main attack team and surrounded one of the Claw Rending bears. From time to time, he would use his heavy saber to smash into its body, causing the thick fur to ripple, but the damage dealt was limited.
