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

Chapter 134 Forgotten Teachings

As Xia Tian watched her leave, she felt that Guo Mi had completely overturned all her previous impressions of her tonight.

In her mind, Guo Mi was just a bear that looked rather unusual, but was simple-minded and even clumsy in life experience.

Only now do I realize that she is not as harmless as she appears, neither in combat nor intellect.

Xia Tian thought that if he wasn't mistaken, Guo Mi's pursuit of the wolf pack in the direction they had left wasn't simply a matter of trying to escape the bear cub's sight.

If she simply walks away, the wolf pack is very likely to become hostile again due to the reduced number of adult bears, and turn back to attack once more.

So Guo Mi chased after the wolves in the direction they had gone.

It wasn't that she was blinded by rage and ready to catch up with the fleeing wolves and teach them a lesson; rather, doing so would actually send a false signal to the alpha wolf that remained behind.

That is, she did not abandon her intention to attack the wolf pack.

This would completely discourage the wolf pack from launching a counterattack.

Secondly, she could coerce the wolves that left first to escape further, and the wolf king in front of her would also speed up the retreat because he was worried that Guo Mi would attack the wolf pack that had already escaped, leading the remaining wolves to chase after the wolf pack that had already left, so as to avoid greater losses from the bear.

By simply choosing a small direction to chase, Guo Mi was able to force all the wolves to quickly leave this place.

Even in the summer, one couldn't help but marvel at her wisdom.

Sure enough, when Guo Mi showed any intention of leaving, the white wolf had already noticed her movements.

When the alpha wolf saw her running off in the direction the wolves had gone, it hesitated for a moment before giving Xia Tian one last hateful look before leading the rest of the pack away, chasing after Guo Mi.

Summer breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.

She wasn't worried about Guo Mi's safety.

Ultimately, she wasn't really going to chase the wolves; once she drove them a certain distance away, she could naturally escape.

The alpha wolf's hatred was mostly directed at her, and given that the pack had already lost several wolves that day, it was impossible for them to continue relentlessly pursuing Guo Mi.

But now there's still one troublesome thing...

Summer's subtle gaze fell on the two bear cubs not far away.

The salmon and fishbone had no idea what was happening. They only heard a bear roar, and after another commotion, the wolf pack suddenly began to leave.

Regardless, the little bear breathed a huge sigh of relief after escaping danger.

Fishbone felt a lingering ache from all his wounds, and the thought of the wolves' gaping mouths, especially the sudden, enormous bear roar that followed, sent a chill down his spine.
"...Is that...the sound of that adult bear?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little bear, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly remembered that there was not only a pack of wolves nearby, but also an adult polar bear!
The two bear cubs felt a chill run down their spines and practically jumped up from the ground. They looked around in panic before finally spotting the adult bear watching them with cold eyes not far away.

Summer watched with a cold eye as the two bear cubs breathed a sigh of relief as they escaped the threat of the wolf pack, wondering how long it would take before they remembered her.

Fortunately, it wasn't completely hopeless; after a few seconds of relief, I remembered.

Now she needs to think about how to leave without it being too abrupt.

Summer glanced casually and her gaze landed on the spot where Little Bear had once piled up the rabbit carcasses.

The remaining rabbits had all been carried off by the wolves, leaving behind only a patch of land soaked in rabbit blood and reduced to a rotten mess.

Looking at the wolf footprints scattered across the ground, Xia Tian decided to give the two bear cubs another reminder.

She took two steps toward the bear cubs, watching the two little ones huddle together, then suddenly turned and pretended to smell something, walking toward the muddy ground stained red with rabbit blood.

The cub was afraid of angering the adult bear and dared not move. But when it saw that the adult bear seemed to be attracted by something, its first thought was to run away.

Upon seeing the bear suddenly change its target, it disregarded everything else and ran wildly in the opposite direction without looking back!

As the salmon ran, it kept looking back. In its blurry vision, it could only see the adult polar bear standing in place, head down as if sniffing something. The salmon was completely bewildered.

What exactly are they smelling?
It wasn't until they had run some distance that they belatedly realized that the place where the bear was standing was where they had piled up the rabbit carcasses.

At that moment, all the mysteries were suddenly solved.

Why did not only wolf packs appear, but also adult bears suddenly appear?

It turned out that they had become so proud of their successful hunt that they forgot that Guo Mi had dug a hole and filled it with dried flowers and grass to cover up the smell of the dried fish; they also forgot that Slok had repeatedly reminded them to try to clean up the traces left after eating the food.

Carelessness led to an attack by other predators; it was all their own fault. The salmon felt a wave of remorse and regret, and as self-reproach overwhelmed them, they suddenly heard the sound of fish bones:
"I can smell Guo Mi's scent."

The little male bear, meeting his sister's surprised and incredulous gaze, frantically pawed forward and ran, repeating the same action after a while:
"I can really smell her scent!"

……

Summer watched the two bear cubs run further and further away, and sneered inwardly that the two little rascals weren't so stupid after all, knowing to run away instead of staying in one place to wait for death.

She originally thought that the two bear cubs would sit there dumbly watching her sniff the scent before approaching them, and only then would they realize that they could still escape.

Her mind was much more flexible than she had imagined.

Although Summer's attitude towards the two bear cubs could be described as harsh, she knew very well that Salmon and Fishbone had been without their mother for a long time, so their behavior was already quite good.

Guo Mi could follow them around for a month or two, and then maybe she could just leave and stop worrying about them altogether.

Summer couldn't help but wonder if Baymax would have done any better than the two little bears had faced such danger.

With her nose following the gust of wind, she accurately found the scent of Big White, and followed the scent to Big White hiding behind the bushes.

Guo Mi is really good at hiding things. In this vast plain, there are only a few bushes here, and she even chose the thorny kind.

With the wolf's mind preoccupied with the rabbit's corpse and the surrounded bear, the chances of it noticing Big White are extremely slim.

Even if they noticed it, such a patch of thorny bushes would make them afraid to approach.

Big White, hiding in the bushes, only peeked out when it heard familiar footsteps. The cubs cried out in delighted surprise:

"mom!"

When DouDou saw the bloodstains on Xia Tian's body, her eyes trembled violently, and the joy in her eyes was instantly replaced by sadness. She whimpered and crawled out from under the bushes!

Summer then noticed that a hole had been dug under the bushes, probably because Guo Mi was afraid that the bear cub would get hurt by its claws.

The hole was dug very cleverly, just big enough for the bear cub to pass through without being too easy to spot.

Thinking back to when she saw the two little bears digging squirrel and rabbit holes, Xia Tian's lips twitched. Now she knew exactly who they learned it from.

Big White struggled to crawl out of the hole and stumbled towards Summer, crying and calling for its mother as it ran, clearly frightened by the wolf pack.

Summer watched as she struggled to run, her arms trembling, and then, recalling how Guo Mi's two little brats ran like the wind without ever looking back, the difference became immediately apparent. She said coldly:

"Stop crying, what's there to cry about?"

Big White was startled and stopped in front of her, looking up timidly at the suddenly angry mother bear.

Summer looked down at her:
"When you leave and have to fend for yourself, such things will be as common as the sun rising every day. If you're still like you are now, and you can't even run away just by looking at it, then you'll only end up buried in the snow-capped mountains!"

The mother bear's stern words reached the cub's ears, and the cub only felt wronged.

She was clearly so scared, and had been alone in the bushes for so long, so why didn't her mother comfort her, but instead criticized her so harshly?

Big White hung its little head, huddled up in a ball, feeling nothing but grievance and resentment.

The moment she saw summer, she wanted to curl up under her mother's soft belly for comfort, and she wanted to tell her mother about her fears that night...

Now, however, they dare not do anything.

Summer regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth. In any case, Little Bear was too young and far from being old enough to leave his mother to live on his own.

It's just that Guo Mi's special circumstances require the little bear to learn how to survive.

She started by teaching Big White the life skills according to the normal growth rate of bear cubs, and now she is using the standards of those two little bear cubs to demand that Big White, which is indeed a bit too hasty.

However, it's obviously impossible to get her to apologize.

Summer could only sit there, looking back and forth, trying to guess which direction Guo Mi would come back from, in order to distract herself.

Suddenly, she felt a warmth at her feet. Looking down, she saw that Big White had come close again, its little paws tightly hugging her legs, its little face buried in her thick fur.

The little guy looked aggrieved, and his tightly clenched little ears betrayed his unease.

Summer sighed, lowered her head and licked her little ear, clearly feeling the little paws tighten their grip on her leg.

The two bears, one big and one small, sat there waiting for Guo Mi to return from cleaning up the mess.
