Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 1176 The Man-Eating Bear 

Elijah did not understand why Alex said that. Could there be someone else here on this back of the mountain who would help me teach Jordan and his gang a lesson? This time, the participants in the challenge are divided into two teams. The first team consists of those in the group, while Alex and I are on the second team. How could there possibly be anyone else?

Elijah’s eyes suddenly lit up, but then slowly dimmed again. He said somewhat dejectedly, “They have so many people, Alex. Even if they do come, they have nothing to be afraid of. But what about us tonight? It’s such a long night. Who knows how many wild beasts we’ll encounter!”

“Can’t you see that they’re staying in the man-eating bear’s den?” Alex remarked with a wicked smile while looking at the other man.

Upon hearing this, Elijah’s face turned pale with fright. He quickly reached out to cover Alex’s mouth and. said anxiously, “Alex, we’re at the back of the mountain now. We must not mention those words as we might get targeted. Very few people can survive their attack.”

He had previously heard Alex mention those words before but had forgotten what the latter meant. Now that he had thought about it carefully, he finally discovered the crux of the matter.

Elijah cautiously asked Alex, “Are you serious, Alex? Are they really in the den of those creatures?

Just uttering these words made Elijah’s heart shudder, and he felt a chill down his spine.

There were no moon and stars that night, making it rather dark and hard to discern. The only source of visible light in their memories was the bonfire in the middle.

Ordinary people might not be able to discern their surroundings, but Alex was a martial arts expert who had reached the realm of Grandmaster, so he had a clear understanding of the environment around him.

The place where they set up their tents was much flatter than the path they had walked during the day. Moreover, the open area was quite spacious, making it suitable for a large group to spend the night and rest.

However, not far from that area was a dense patch of weeds, and beneath that lay a hole dug by the man- eating bears. Using his mind power, Alex could feel the presence of two such creatures sleeping inside.

Those people in the group were chatting merrily over there, making quite a commotion. Sooner or later, they would wake up the man-eating bears in the area, and staying there would inevitably lead to danger. That was why Alex did not want Elijah to follow them.

At that moment, he could already sense the enraged auras of the man-eating bears. Looks like those people have already angered the bears!

Alex patted Elijah’s shoulder and said, “Look carefully over there. You’ll know in a moment whether or not. I’m saying the truth.”

From his vantage point, he could see the group quite clearly. After all, there was a large cluster of bonfires over there.

Elijah’s gaze flitted over, watching those people feasting, drinking, and having fun while dancing and singing. They looked like they were enjoying a camping trip rather than participating in a challenge. Elijah could not help but feel a bit envious, even wanting to join them. After all, who would want to be left out?

While Elijah was immersed in the scene, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the weed next to the group of people moving. Following that, a huge creature crawled out of it. It was six feet tall, and its furry body. looked very intimidating.

The sight of the creature made Elijah tremble all over. Even his breathing became abnormal. “Is… Is that… a man-eating bear?” he stammered out.

Almost all the people in the village had heard from the older generation that there were such things as man-eating bears living in the mountains. However, no one had ever seen it in person, as very few who encountered it managed to survive. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

I can’t believe those people stayed right next to the man-eating bear’s den. That’s no different from seeking death. Fear bubbled within Elijah. Fortunately, Alex had dragged him away. He had previously been a little envious of them, but now all he felt was relief.
