Deep affection knows no origin; remember the polar bear's love for you.

Chapter 109 A Wounded Human
The human was discovered by the bear cub.

After their meal, they decided to rest on the spot and replenish their water in this freshwater puddle.

The puddle wasn't small, but it was very shallow. Guo Mi chased the deer for several hundred meters, almost crossing the entire puddle, before she finally managed to catch the reindeer.

Her white fur was stained with blood. Guo Mi stood in the puddle, lowered her head and drank a couple of mouthfuls of water, finally seeing her reflection clearly:

Half of its body was covered in the bright red blood of reindeer. In the areas that were thoroughly soaked, droplets of blood even seeped out, dripping down its fur into the water, creating a hazy, crimson scene.

Looking at her like this, even if you said that Guo Mi ate two people, I, Ben Xiong, would believe it.

Guo Mi raised her paw, which was soaked with water and looked like a shower head, with water dripping down in several strands.

...Unfortunately, even so, the fur on the paws still had a faint reddish tinge.

She had no choice but to give up her lazy thoughts and sit in the water to prepare to clean her fur.

The two little cubs ran back around this time.

The fluffy ball of fur hopped and skipped in the water like a rabbit, its head bobbing as it ran, spraying water vapor from its body.

Guo Mi was caught off guard and was slapped in the face. The salmon that was running in the lead had already stopped in front of her, its panting voice barely concealing its excitement:

"Guo Mi, we saw a strange animal! It looks injured!"

Fishbone quickly walked over and added:
"Yes! But we've checked, and it's still alive!"

The two bear cubs were in high spirits, but Guo Mi didn't think they were celebrating that the other was still alive.

Sure enough, the next second the fishbone licked its lips and "friendly" suggested:
"We can kill it before it can escape, and then we can get a lot more food!"

The salmon didn't say much, but the eagerness in its eyes was exactly the same as that of the fish bones. It seemed that the two little guys wanted to try it themselves rather than let Guo Mi kill them.

Guo Mi suddenly remembered that the little furball had grown into a big furball. No matter how cute it was, it was still a fierce carnivore. As it grew older, the wildness flowing in its blood would gradually emerge.

Thinking back to how Fishbone was afraid to even catch fish before, seeing his proactive attitude now makes one feel the subtle growth he has undergone.

This is something that cannot be suppressed, nor does she need to suppress it.

While prey that cannot be resisted does not help the bear cubs gain hunting experience, it can stimulate their hunting instincts and reduce risks.

This is the perfect opportunity for a second enlightenment.

Having made up her mind, Guo Mi, disregarding the bloodstains on her body, gestured for the two little creatures to lead the way:
"Let's go, let me go take a look."

The two bear cubs cheered and, without even taking a slow walk, trotted off toward the location of their "prey".

Guo Mi followed behind, her interest piqued as well.

Although the bear cub didn't say anything, it's not hard to guess from its few words and actions that this "prey" is quite large.

Besides reindeer, Guo Mi was also curious about what other large prey roamed the Arctic Circle.

This curiosity lasted until the very last second before the bear saw the "strange animal" the cub had mentioned.

Guo Mi stopped when she was still ten meters away.

The puddle was merely a temporary accumulation after the torrential rain; the area had originally been a lush, grassy meadow. The "strange animal's" entire body was concealed by the overgrown grass, but Guo Mi didn't even need to approach; her gaze was fixed only on the small portion of its limbs protruding from the grass—

It was a hand, a human hand.

Realizing that the "strange animal" the two bear cubs were referring to was a human, Guo Mi's mind went blank for a moment, then she quickly called out to the bear cubs who were already opening their mouths and about to step forward:
"and many more!"

The salmon's teeth had already touched the soft skin on the "strange animal's" neck, but it stopped immediately upon hearing Guo Mi's shout, obediently withdrew its mouth, and sat there blankly looking at Guo Mi.

Guo Mi took two steps forward, and finally started jogging, splashing water as she reached the grass.

The unconscious person was a man with brown hair and two small mustaches under his nose. He looked to be around forty years old.

Seeing the faint teeth marks left on his neck, Guo Mi felt a wave of fear.

Although she has turned into a bear, she is not so depraved as to let the bear cub eat people.

No matter what, she was at least a mentally sound and normal person.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Guo Mi sat down to rest for a while. The two little bears sat beside her, and only after she had rested enough did they ask in a weak voice:
"What's wrong?"

Guo Mi looked at them apologetically:

“This person… no, this animal, we can’t kill them. We should try to avoid getting close to them in the future.”

The chance to bite was gone, and the little bear was disappointed and confused. Fishbone tilted his head and asked Guo Mi:

"why?"

Guo Mi cleared her throat, lowered her voice to deliberately create a suffocating and terrifying atmosphere, and spoke in a low, somber tone:
"Because they are the most terrifying creatures in the world. The one you've heard of is the human that Bada was talking about!"

"Humans?!" The innocent little bear was immediately intrigued again, its bright eyes fixed intently on Guo Mi.

Guo Mi, like a competent storyteller, remained completely unaffected, her voice still deep and gentle, as she recounted her tale to the little bear:

"Humans are cunning and extremely dangerous. They often carry long black tubes on their backs. If these tubes explode, they will leave bloody holes and craters in your body. It will be very painful. If you are not fast enough, you will never see the sun or feel the morning breeze again."

She showed absolutely no awareness of the need to denigrate her former race:
"As long as that black pipe is pointed at you, like this..."

As Guo Mi spoke, she slowly brought her head close to the faces of the two little bears, and then:
"boom--!"

The hot, humid air sprayed onto the faces of the two little bears, and as she finished speaking, Fishbone jumped up in fright!
This time it wasn't Guo Mi simulating it anymore, but a real sound:
boom--

Guo Mi's nose was almost knocked crooked by the little bear. She covered her nose and took two steps back, tears welling up in her eyes.

Fishbone sat there, still shaken, catching his breath. After a while, as if remembering something, he suddenly said:
"A black pipe, there's a black pipe next to that human too!"

Guo Mi's gaze sharpened, inwardly cursing herself for being careless. She had let her guard down after only a casual glance at the person and was now sitting here chatting with Xiao Xiong.

If he hadn't completely lost consciousness, he could have shot them in the back while they were talking, and that would have been the end of it all.

She wasn't naive enough to think that humans wouldn't go crazy if they woke up and saw a three-headed bear sitting in front of them.

Guo Mi didn't have time to talk to the little bear anymore. She quickly got up and walked to the unconscious man, searching him with her eyes.

Although partially obscured by the grass, it was still easy to distinguish the man's hand:
That was clearly a hunting rifle.
