The sound startled everyone.
Wei Wu and the others quickly flipped the safeties off their shotguns, aiming in the direction of the sound!
Just then, the group noticed a commotion in the woods across the stream. Trees were even shaking—a clear sign that a large animal was heading their way.
Thomas's two sheepdogs stood their ground, circling anxiously.
Thomas shouted, "Don't panic! Get your guns ready! From the sound of it, it's probably a brown bear or a herd of wild boars!"
The words had barely left his mouth when a woman in a windbreaker burst out of the woods.
A massive brown bear was hot on her heels!
Once clear of the trees, with nothing to hinder it, the brown bear picked up even more speed.
Having heard the noise, Thomas had already led the group to the edge of the woods.
When the woman in the windbreaker saw them, a flicker of hope ignited within her. Crying out, she scrambled toward Wu Yun's group!
