C12 Class 3 Magical Beast Giant Bear!

Zhang Xing swiftly made his way to the mountainous region a dozen miles from Timber Village, beyond which lay the vast expanse of an untouched forest. Village Head Grandpa had mentioned that the wolves infiltrated the village using this very trail.

Normally, the villagers hunted on the fringes of the mountains, bagging plenty of pheasants and wild rabbits. But today, an eerie silence enveloped the area; not even the chirping of birds could be heard. Something was definitely amiss.

Determined to uncover the truth, Zhang Xing pressed on deeper into the wilderness. Using the mountainous terrain, rocks, and underbrush for cover, he reached the forest's edge. Climbing a tree, he scanned his surroundings.

Out of nowhere, a colossal black bear came into view. The creature was massive, standing over four meters tall, casually scratching itself against a large tree. A heap of animal bones lay nearby, a clear sign that the bear had claimed this spot as its own.

Zhang Xing surmised that the bear might be a Class 3 Magical Beast, which would explain why the Demonic Wolves had abandoned the safety of the forest for the perilous human settlement. The bear's hide was thick and tough; it wouldn't be easy to take down.

Given his slight build, a direct confrontation was out of the question. But Zhang Xing had the advantage of agility, not to mention his magic and Hei Bao at his disposal.

The bear halted its scratching, sniffing the air before slowly lifting its head. Even at a hundred meters away, Zhang Xing felt the piercing gaze of the bear lock onto him, sending a jolt of surprise through his heart. Its sense of smell was incredibly acute to detect him from such a distance.

"Black Treasure, time for dinner!" Zhang Xing called out telepathically. The Small Black Dragon burst forth in response.

At the mention of food, Black Treasure's face lit up with delight. But as it caught sight of the large black bear charging towards it, only fifty meters away, a fierce draconic ferocity flashed across its face.

A wild surge of energy emanated from Black Treasure, barreling towards the oncoming bear. The giant bear, in its rampage, had shattered numerous trees in its path. However, upon sensing the Black Dragon's aura, it skidded to a halt, sliding some distance before coming to a stop.

The black bear, a notch above the Demonic Wolf in rank, was endowed with a considerable degree of sentience. Despite the intimidating Aura it sensed, it was clear to the bear that it faced merely two children.

Yet, despite its inner reservations, the bear did not back down.

"Black Treasure, take to the skies while I stay grounded. Together, we'll strike it down!" Zhang Xing commanded. With a nimble tap on a tree branch, he propelled himself into the air. Simultaneously, the Small Black Dragon underwent a transformation and soared skyward.

The sight of the transformed Small Black Dragon gave the black bear a moment's hesitation. In response, it reared up on its hind legs and let out a skyward roar, a show of its formidable power.

Charging forward with its impressive bulk, the bear set its sights on the Small Black Dragon, completely overlooking Zhang Xing.

In an instant, they were less than ten meters apart. Without sparing Zhang Xing a glance, the bear swiped its massive paw through the air.

To the bear's astonishment, the frail human child wasn't pulverized as expected; it had merely shattered a couple of trees.

The child vanished from the bear's view.

Then came a thunderous boom.

Zhang Xing's fist connected with the bear's back, and he was instantly repelled by the force of the impact.

Above, Black Treasure unleashed a stream of Dragon Flame.

Pain seared through the bear, fueling its rage. It wanted to pivot and confront Zhang Xing, but instead chose to evade the Dragon Flame, continuing to disregard the child.

Zhang Xing, adept with both fists and feet, used the bear's own rebounding force to spin and deliver a kick to its waist.

The bear teetered, nearly toppling over as the Dragon Flame engulfed it.

Should anyone witness a six-year-old child nearly knocking down a black bear weighing over three thousand jin, their jaw would undoubtedly hit the floor in amazement.
