As soon as they reached the hillside where they'd left the Ginseng, Little Bear, held on a leash by Zhao Jun, started straining hard against the rope, pulling westward.
Zhao Jun held him back, causing the rope to go taut. Little Bear's front paws lifted off the ground as it roared relentlessly.
There was something over there!
"ARF! ARF..."
The barks had barely faded when a bear's roar echoed from the west.
Hearing the bear's roar, Da Huang, who was on Li Baoyu's leash, lunged forward and started barking furiously.
Li Baoyu held on to the rope for dear life, turning his head to look at Zhao Jun.
"Big Brother!" Zhao Jun quickly called to Zhang Yuanmin, handing him Little Bear's leash. "Hold on tight," he instructed. "Don't release the dog until I tell you to!"
"Right! Right!" Zhang Yuanmin hastily agreed, taking the rope from Zhao Jun with both hands and gripping it tightly.
