Chapter 1178

Despite being smaller than the other one, this man-eating bear was still over six feet tall. The tree the man had climbed seemed rather delicate in comparison to its intimidating figure.

Man-eating bears were slightly more intelligent than ordinary brown bears. The two bears grabbed onto the trees and began to shake them.

The young man in the tree was already scared in the first place, and being targeted by the man-eating bear only terrified him to the point of wetting his pants. He clung to the swaying branch, ruffled by the breeze.

"Save me! I don't want to participate in the challenge anymore. I want to go home! I want to go home!"

The man kept crying out to no avail. On the contrary, it only aroused the man-eating bear's playful side as it stopped shaking the tree and began pounding it with its paws.

Even if the people on the trees were not thrown down by the tremendous force, the trees could not withstand such an impact and might snap in half.

Meanwhile, the larger man-eating bear had also set its sights on the people atop the trees, and the tree it chose was the one that Jordan had climbed.

Upon seeing that, Jordan turned pale with fright. He never expected that the man-eating bear would target him so quickly. Even someone as calm as him could not keep his composure.

The two man-eating bears were simultaneously hitting the trees, and the timid man on the other side was already on the verge of falling. He would most likely fall off before the bear even broke the tree with its. blows, whereas Jordan was still tenaciously clinging onto the tree.

Elijah, who was watching the situation unfold from a distance, cried out with sympathy, "Alex, let's hurry and save them! If we don't, they'll be killed by the man-eating bears."

With so many lives at stake, Alex would still help them even if Elijah did not ask him to. Hence, he nodded at the other man and said, "Let's go and take a look."

Elijah knew that Alex's abilities were more than enough to take on the two man-eating bears as soon as the latter agreed to help.

"Thank you, Alex. You truly are the bravest person I've ever met. I'm sure you'll become the guardian of the Holy Land," Elijah praised sincerely.

Alex did not utter another word and walked toward the group.

Jordan, who was up in the tree, naturally saw the two men approaching. He was somewhat confused to see them heading in his direction. There are two man-eating bears here. Are they truly not afraid of death? Or are they simply unaware of what's going on here?

Jordan did not give it much thought. He was in a precarious situation and could fall off the tree at any

moment.

Since those two are heading this way, why not have them attract the attention of the man-eating bears? With that thought, Jordan said to the bear under his tree, "Quick, look behind you. Two people are approaching. They are hunters from the village, often carrying rifles to hunt in the area. Once... Once they even killed a young man-eating bear. In their eyes, you guys are simply no match for them!" Jordan made his last-ditch effort. He could only hope that the man-eating bears could understand his

words and shift their attention to Alex and Elijah.

Right after Jordan spoke, the man-eating bears stopped hitting the trees and twisted their necks to look in the direction where Alex and Elijah were rushing over.

Jordan was surprised that not only were the man-eating bears intelligent, but they could also understand the human language. He could not help but rejoice and added, "It's these two people. They even vowed to kill all the man-eating bears on the back of the mountain, saying that such ugly creatures shouldn't exist in this world."

Alex and Elijah, who were approaching quickly, did not expect Jordan to say such a thing.

Elijah was furious. He never expected Jordan to come up with that. Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?

"Jordan, how could you be so despicable and shameless? I was the one who begged Alex to come and save you all, but I never expected you to repay kindness with enmity. If I had known, I would have just watched you suffer!" he said indignantly.

Jordan, who still had his arms around the tree, scoffed disdainfully. "If you knew there were man-eating bears here, would you still have come? Who are you trying to fool? Do you think the two of you can go up against a man-cating bear? That's just ridiculous."

Elijah's words caught the attention of the man-eating bear. It released its hold on the tree and raced toward him and Alex.
