You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 31: The Bear in a Cassock

When Xu De saw the black shadow, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The black shadow is wearing a cassock. Isn't this the disaster that has been causing trouble in the village these past two days?
He had been acting arrogantly before, holding a knife and shouting, thinking that he was brave and could chop off his head with the knife if there was any trouble. But when Xu De really saw it, he felt his arms and legs trembling, and his previous courage disappeared into thin air, and was completely useless.

My breathing became rapid, my hair stood on end, and I had goose bumps all over my skin.

Just by standing here, Xu De could feel the fishy wind blowing towards him.

He glanced again and saw that his knife was stuck in a wooden block about ten feet away from him. He would probably have to make a big leap and two jogs to reach the wooden block.

His heart was trembling with confusion, but he knew that if he stayed here without a weapon, he would surely die.

"Young woman! You slutty bald ass, you killed my dog!"

Maybe it was because of fear, or maybe it was because the dog was dead, Xu De was so scared that a nameless fire suddenly surged in his heart.

He let out a low shout and took two steps at a time and walked towards the ring-shaped broadsword. The black shadow over there seemed to be frightened by Xu De, and for a moment he stood there in a daze, motionless.

Walking smoothly to the edge of the knife, Xu De stretched out his hand to grasp the knife handle, and tried to pull it up with one hand, but it didn't come out. He then jumped onto the wooden block with both feet, and grasped the knife handle with both hands.

"Hey!!"

His face turned red, and he used all his strength to pull out the knife. With a clang sound, the knife was finally pulled out.

After drawing the knife, Xu De was overjoyed. He felt brave and confident. He raised the knife and shouted at the shadow:
"You thief, take your grandfather's sword!"

He shouted angrily, and it seemed as if the wind was cheering him on. A strong wind blew behind him, dispersing the dark clouds that covered the half moon.

However, when Xu De finally saw the appearance of the bandit leader, he was suddenly frightened out of his wits!
The person in front of him was not a monk at all.

That was clearly a black bear!
The black bear was wearing a tattered, bloodstained cassock, with black fur and a white patch on its head. Its claws were stained with red, dripping from its sharp nails. It was standing upright with its legs supporting its waist, like a human.

It was standing still, staring at Xu De with its eyes fixed.

Xu De really didn't expect that the people in the village kept repeating the word "beast" for a long time. He thought it was an adjective, but unexpectedly it was a plain sentence!
What frightened Xu De the most about the black bear was its eyes.

It really looks like a human.

Facing a black bear, Xu De immediately showed his fear.

People are killed with knives, and bears are killed with bows. This is a tradition passed down by old hunters. But even if Xu De was given a bow now, he felt that he might not be able to kill a black bear.

He can wear a cassock and walk upright. He is clearly a monster!

How can a human kill a monster?
His courage was gone, and the dark clouds came again. Xu De could hardly see the dark shadow in front of him.

He felt a foul-smelling wind approaching him, and he became flustered and swung his knife randomly.

It’s pitch dark, how can we hit the target?
Xu De only felt a sharp edge reaching towards his neck. He thought to himself, "How miserable!" and closed his eyes, waiting to die.

But the expected pain did not occur. Xu De heard the crackling sound of thunder beside his ear, followed by the painful roar and wailing of the beast.

And the aroma of barbecue.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that half of the black bear's body had been burnt, but it was still alive. It was wearing a complete cassock and was crawling towards the forest. He didn't know when a Taoist priest appeared beside him.

Under the gentle breeze and bright moon, there was milky white lightning on the Taoist's palms, crackling.

Xu De's legs went limp and he sat down on the ground. When he came to his senses, he found that the middle of his pants was wet.

I stared at the Taoist priest blankly, then I realized that Wang Erniu was also standing behind him holding a rolling pin, so I asked:

"Er...Erniu, what is this?"

"This is our Taoist priest! Taoist priest, help us kill the beast!" Erniu just witnessed Zuo Chen's action. He only saw a flash of white light in Zuo Chen's palm, and then the evil beast began to crawl all over the ground.

Where had the farmer seen such magical powers? He immediately thought Zuo Chen was a god who had descended to earth.

Zuo Chen, on the other hand, stared at the palm of his hand and frowned slightly.

"Master? What's wrong?"

Caiyi approached Zuo Chen doubtfully and whispered.

Zuo Chen didn't answer.

The slap just now didn't feel right.

He used the Shangqing Five Thunder Method, which was specifically designed to fight evil spirits, but the slap just now did not kill the bear.

It was not because the bear was extremely powerful, but because the cassock on his body was unique. Others could not see it, but in Zuo Chen's eyes, the torn cassock emitted wisps of golden light, which was the aura of merit.

and…

That bear actually has virtue and righteousness in him!

This is weird!

It kills people and steals, so where does the merit come from?
The power of thunder magic will be reduced when it encounters someone who is already righteous. The uniqueness of the cassock and himself makes the power of thunder magic be reduced by 99%.

This resulted in the bear being beaten 95% dead and only half alive.

"Erniu, you stay here with him first. Caiyi, come with me into the mountains to catch a bear."

After saying that, Zuo Chen and Cai Yi went straight into the forest. They moved quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Only Wang Erniu and Xu De were left standing at the back, staring in amazement.

"Erniu, is this the Taoist priest you were talking about?" Xu De asked stupidly.

"Yes."

Xu De stared at the direction where Zuo Chen left for a long time.

"You have really found a powerful immortal!"

……

After the wild bear was hit by Zuo Chen's palm, it was only hanging on for one breath. Even if it took advantage of its last burst of energy to run for its life, it would be impossible for it to escape the pursuit of Zuo Chen and the other man.

It stumbled left and right in the forest, and finally rushed into a cave not far away with its body lowered. Zuo Chen and Cai Yi followed closely behind and soon stood at the entrance of the cave.

After arriving here, Caiyi sniffed her nose and immediately retched twice:
“What a strong stench!”

Zuo Chen picked a white wild flower from the leaves nearby with his right hand, placed it in the palm of his hand, and blew it towards the cave entrance. Layers of wild flowers grew inch by inch from under his feet.

The wild flowers spread rapidly into the cave, and then Caiyi heard a shrill howl of a wild beast coming from the cave. Then, everything returned to silence, without any sound.

After doing all this, the two of them walked into the cave.

Stepping over the wild flowers, Caiyi looked around the cave in the moonlight and found that the ground was covered with various skeletons, both animal and human.

When he reached the deepest part, he saw the human-like shadow of a black bear lying on its side in the cave. The cave above his head was not completely closed and covered. The milky white moonlight fell vertically from above like a column, falling on it and on the petals that were glittering on its fur.

The power of thunder magic was reduced, but other skills were not affected.

The half-dead cassock bear was really blown to death by Zuo Chen in one breath!
