When I was living in Nishikino Town, I heard a lot of stories from the "original hunter" named Shimazuke about his past hunting days.

The story I hear most is the story of bear hunting.

Shisuke always took the trouble to tell listeners like Ogata that bears are extremely dangerous, and even the most experienced Matauki would not dare to be careless when hunting bears.

"That's true..." Amachi muttered, "Although I have never seen a bear, I heard that a bear can crush a person with just one palm..."

"Although bears are scary, they are actually not that dangerous." Ogata comforted, "I think we need to pay more attention to wolves than bears."

"People are afraid of bears, and bears are afraid of people."

"As long as you don't provoke the bear, under normal circumstances, the bear will not take the initiative to attack humans."

"And it's winter now, and the bears are basically hibernating."

"You seem to know a lot about bears." Amachi cast a somewhat admiring look at Ogata, "Have you done any special investigation?"

Being looked at by Amachi like this made Ogata a little happy, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

"I haven't investigated it, but I have heard about the habits of these bears from an 'original hunter' before."

What Ogata just said was just a copy of what the "original hunter" Shisuke told him.

"When you encounter a bear, you can't pretend to be dead or run away. You definitely can't outrun the bear. You have to stand still, look straight at the bear, and it's best to talk to the bear."

Being looked at by Amachi with such eyes, Ogata also became more interested in talking about sex.

While talking eloquently, he plagiarized all the knowledge he had learned from Shimasuke's hunting stories one by one... Ah, no, he relayed them one by one.

"As long as you stand still and look directly at the bear, you can send a signal to the bear that you are harmless and will not pose a threat to your life."

"The bear will leave obediently after confirming that his life will not be harmed."

"But not all bears are immune to humans."

"There is a kind of bear that will actively attack humans even if humans do not provoke it."

"That's the bear that has eaten human flesh."

"After a bear eats human flesh, it cannot eat other food. It can only feed on human flesh for the rest of its life."

"So when faced with bears that have eaten human flesh, it's useless even if you stand still. They are happier if you stand still."

"A bear that has eaten human flesh will have to feed on human flesh for the rest of its life..." A-Machi shrank his neck again, "It's really scary..."

"It's very rare for a bear to eat human flesh."

Ogata smiled and shrugged, comforting.

"Perhaps not one of a hundred bears has ever eaten human flesh."

"So the probability of encountering this kind of bear is very..."

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!!!!"

Before Ogata could finish his words, a roar that seemed to shatter the surrounding trees suddenly reached the ears of Ogata and Omachi.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, then quickly turned their heads following the sound.

I saw a big brown bear charging towards them from the southwest with all four paws on the ground!

This bear charging straight towards them reminded Ogata of the big truck in his previous life, which was the same in terms of speed and pressure.

In his previous life, Ogata had seen some bear-related introductions on the Internet. The sprint speed of bears could keep up with a large truck traveling at 60 kilometers per hour.

At this moment, Ogata really felt that this introduction was not written randomly.

In just a blink of an eye, the bear, which was still a long way away from Ogata and Atachi, rushed to the two of them, then raised its paw, which was bigger than Ogata's head, and slapped Ogata.

For ordinary people, there should be nothing else to do except wait for their heads to be smashed like a big watermelon.

But Ogata is not an ordinary person after all.

After the bear raised its paw, Omo, whose reflexes and agility were far superior to those of ordinary people, immediately hugged O-Machi beside him and rushed towards the snow beside him.

I avoided this bear paw just in time.

The bear's paw did not smash Ogata's head into pieces. Instead, it smashed into pieces the big tree that was as thick as two bowls behind Ogata and Atachi.

Facing the bear's paw, such a thick tree trunk was like glass and could be smashed easily.

One blow missed, and the bear immediately launched a second one.

It raised its other front paw and pressed heavily towards Ogata and the two who had just hugged Omachi and rushed to the side.

Ogata, who continued to hug Omachi tightly, rolled on the snow and avoided the attack of the big bear again.

The bear's paw struck the place where Ogata and the two had just fallen, splashing a large amount of snow flakes.

This time, Ogata dodged directly to a place several steps away from the big bear.

Before the big bear launched a new attack, the two quickly stood up.

A-Machi took out her Susakura and pointed the gun directly at the big bear.

When A-Machi was about to pull the trigger, Ogata immediately shouted to A-Machi:

"Don't hit it on the head! Hit it on the belly!"

At this moment, the "bear hunting advice" he had heard from the "original hunter" Shisukena came to Ogata's mind. When hunting a bear, you must never attack the bear's head.

Because the bear's skull is very hard, almost as hard as steel, even an iron cannon may not be able to penetrate the bear's skull.

After hearing Ogata's reminder, although he didn't know why, Atachi quickly adjusted the position of the muzzle, pointed it at the bear's belly, and fired all 4 bullets in the chamber of Sosakura's gun in one go.

At the same time that Atachi took out Sozakura, Ogata also took out his Kasumi Nagi.

He wanted this bear to experience the power of human beings!

Bang, bang, bang...

Ogata and Omachi took out all the bullets in Kasumi Nagi and Sozakura in one go.

Eight gunshots broke the silence of the woods.

The bear was so big and so close to the two of them. Even for someone like Ogata who had never practiced marksmanship, there was no reason to miss it.

All eight bullets entered the bear's belly.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

A painful roar erupted from the bear's big mouth.

These eight bullets failed to kill the bear immediately.

While roaring, he raised his two front palms high, then waved his right palm and slapped Ogata's head again.

Those 8 bullets just now are still useful.

The bear's movement speed is much slower, and its strength is not so terrifying.

Ogata lowered his body to avoid the bear's palm, then gritted his teeth, handed Kasumi Nagi to his left hand, then reached out with his right hand to the Daishiten on his left waist, and then moved forward like an arrow from a string.

The big bear pounced.

The sword flashed.

Just when he was about to pass by the bear, Ogata used the Raikiri of the Muga 2-sword style and slashed hard at the bear's belly.

"Ouch..."

The big bear suffered another heavy blow to its belly, and its roar had become much weaker.

Like a drunken man, it swayed a few times and then fell heavily to the ground.

Ogata didn't dare to be careless. After taking Kasumi Nagi back into his arms, he pulled out the big bear with his left hand, then rushed towards the big bear that had fallen to the ground with his two swords, aimed at its neck, and frantically performed the last blow.

He swung his two swords and stabbed the bear's neck alternately more than ten times. Ogata finally stopped after the bear was soaked in a pool of its blood.

"It's scary... It's scary..." Up until this moment, Ating's lips and face were still white.

From the moment the bear suddenly appeared and attacked them, to the time Ogata and the others killed the bear, only about half a minute had passed.

This half minute made Ogata and Atachi feel like it lasted for several hours.

As Machi reloaded Suying, he slowly leaned towards the dead bear.

Ogata also wiped off the bear blood and bear fat from Daishiten and Daizizai. After sheathing the sword, he took out Kasumi Nagi who had just stuffed it into his arms and reloaded it.

"This bear is so big..." Amachi murmured, "If it stood up, it would be as tall as two of me combined..."

What Amachi said is a bit exaggerated. According to Ogata's visual inspection, if this bear stood up, it would be almost 2.5 meters tall. There are not two Amachis as tall together, but such a height is already terrifying.

.

"It's not that high. It would be okay if there were two of you as tall as you. At most, it's only as tall as one and a half you..." Ogata turned his head, looked at the tree that was smashed by the bear, and whispered,

"As expected of a bear...human beings are completely incomparable..."

The strongest opponent Ogata had ever encountered before was Shuntaro, the leader of the "Four Heavenly Kings" in Shiranui.

But now, Ogata feels that this record can be renovated.

The strongest opponent he has ever encountered is this bear.
