Black bears are the top carnivores in the redwood forest. Neither coyotes nor cougars are the opponents of black bears. The only one who can compete with black bears is the rare wolf pack nowadays.

Black bears like to be clean and do not excrete in their nests. They always clean up their nests and look like a cradle, but even so, they cannot deceive other animals' sense of smell and shrewd hunters.

The herd of red deer may also notice black bears appearing nearby, but it is dark and they have poor eyesight at night. It is close to the stream. After eating salt during the day, they are eager for water, so they plan to take the risk of spending the night here.

Zhang Zian also considered the same thing. The black bear has been away for a day or two and may not be back tonight. His tent has been set up, and it is not a big deal to escape overnight. We can survive tonight and stay away from here tomorrow.

But we will be on guard tonight.

North American black bears are the largest black bears, which are much larger than the Asian black bears commonly found in many urban zoos in China, and are more aggressive. They are not comparable to those lazy black bears raised by people in zoos.

When a wild black bear slapped, whether it was a human, a dog or a red deer, it was torn into pieces by the sharp claws like steel hooks, and it lost its ability to resist. The bear's teeth had a huge biting force and could easily bite off a person's forearms and calves.

Zhang Zian repeatedly reminded the elves that once the black bear appears, don’t go up and fight head-on. The black bear is thick in skin and flesh. If it is scratched a few times, it is just a tickling. However, if it is bitten or hit by it, at least half of its life will be lost.

Feimas deeply feels the same. In the dream world, it fought side by side with Laocha in the barren mountains, protecting the merchants coming and going from the threat of the wolves and driving the wolves into the mountains. But this is because the wolf is very smart. When they think that the loss of the battle exceeds the profit, they will wisely choose to retreat. The bear is different. Once the bear is injured, it will inspire wildness and rush up to fight desperately regardless of its life, like a reckless man with muscles in his mind.

Next, boil water, cook, rest, do whatever you need, just look up at the dark woods from time to time.

Feimas volunteered to sleep outside the tent. It was responsible for guarding the bonfire. If the bonfire showed signs of extinguishing, he would wake Zhang Zi'an and add firewood or combustion aids.

This is destined to be a sleepless night. Even if you lie down in the sleeping bag, Zhang Zi'an still has his eyes open. If you turn over and lie on your side, you will see several other pairs of bright eyes that blink.

Even Richard, who was blind, dared not close his eyes, was like a blind man who knew the crisis was imminent but could only leave it to fate. Zhang Zian just hoped that it would not be scared to the point of being scared when he heard any movement.

After the first half of the night, Zhang Zi'an, who was sleeping in his clothes, got up and added firewood in the middle. The outside of the tent was wet and cold, and there was still fog. It was okay for Feimas to be by the fire.

The herd of red deer stayed on a grass by the stream, standing or lying. The young deer folded their legs under their belly and lying on their tummy, but the leading male deer just stood and pretended to sleep. When he heard the movement, he opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Zi'an's direction.

On the horizontal branches above the head, spotted owls opened their searchlight-like big eyes, blinking and blinking around.

After he added the firewood, he continued to go back to the tent.

In the second half of the night, he thought he would wake up all night, and his eyelids started fighting, one because of his fatigue during the day, and the other because he unconsciously relaxed. He subconsciously thought that it was not too far from dawn, and a few hours passed in a flash.

He didn't know when he fell asleep, but suddenly woke up by a loud roar. It was Feimas who was shouting, so close that he wanted to warn him.

His body instinctively wanted to jump up, but the sleeping bag restricted his movements and sat up halfway.

The elves in the tent also woke up, squeaking and shrank into the corner, and Richard screamed and flew around, chaotic.

He didn't bother to get out of his sleeping bag, and first linked the tent, let Fina, Lao Cha and Vladimir leave the tent first, so that the bear can't get a trap to get a hole in the trap.

When they rushed out of the tent, he rolled and crawled out of his sleeping bag.

Before dawn, the bonfire was already weak, and Feimas kept barking in the direction where the deer was.

The deer was also shouting, the male deer was screaming loudly, the female deer was screaming sharply, and the grass was shady, and all the deer were running around in the dark.

Zhang Zi'an shook the tactical flashlight, and a sharp and highly concentrated beam of light shook the darkness and shone straight into the woods, locking a huge dark figure.

It turns out that he is an adult male black bear, with a weight of nearly 400 kilograms, and he is an absolute forest killer.

The black bear was spraying white air in his mouth, taking advantage of the deer's weakness of poor vision at night to launch an attack from the lower-spirited head, with its roar shook the sky.

Although the black bear is heavy and does not run slowly at all, it will rush directly to the deer whether it encounters thorns or branches blocking the way. However, the deer is panicked in the dark and is driven to the direction of denser woods by the black bears, that is, the direction of the tent. The denser the woods are, the more unfavorable the deer's escape.

Especially the leading male deer, in order to protect the doe and the young deer, it shook its twisted antlers like branches on its head and bravely stayed to confront the black bear. If the opponent is a single coyote, wolf or cougar, it has the power of a battle, and even if it wins, it is not impossible. However, the opponent is a male adult black bear, and its resistance is just a mantis arm to get in a car.

"Do not to escape! Hide behind the tree!" Zhang Zian shouted.

He was not shouting to the male deer. Anyway, the male deer couldn't understand his words. He was shouting to the elves because the frightened deer was running towards the tent. If he was hit by a female deer or a young deer, he would at least have a fracture and might be knocked out and trampled; if he was hit by a young deer with long horns... he would probably be disheartened on the spot.

After shouting, he set an example and rushed to the nearest tree, using the trunk to block his body, and also pulled π and Richard.

The other elves reacted faster and moved more responsively. They understood the dangers they were about to face, and hid behind the trees or jumped directly up the trees to avoid the impact from the deer.

The running deer stomped off the bonfire and kicked over the tent. Fortunately, they didn't step on their backpacks, otherwise the drone would have been scrapped.

After the deer crossed the border, Zhang Zi'an poked his head out from behind the tree and looked in the direction of the black bear.

The leading male deer successfully covered the deer and ran away. It knew it was no match for the black bear, so it dragged it to death, so it turned around and ran here.

Since the bonfire was trampled out, the only light in the woods was Zhang Zi'an's flashlight beam.

The deer had just run a few steps, but heard a click, its tall antlers twisted together with low branches.

It cried out with a tragic cry and fell on its back.
