Transmigrated into a slave? I raised a frontier war god while pioneering new lands.

Shen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the lifeless black bear.

Her legs went weak and she sat down next to Hei Xiazi. Looking at Hei Xiazi's unseeing eyes, Shen Zhi couldn't understand it at all.

It's not harvest season, so why is this bear so bored and coming down the mountain to meddle with people?

Just as Shen Zhi was puzzled, Village Chief Shen and Shen Daqiang had already led their men up the mountain.

However, they had only taken a couple of steps when they lost the guidance of Hei Xiazi's voice.

"What's going on? Why isn't Black Bear barking anymore?" A young man from the village asked Shen Daqiang and the others with a puzzled look on his face.

At this moment, Shen Daqiang was walking at the very front of the group, listening intently to Hei Xiazi's voice, searching for the most specific location.

So at the moment Hei Xiazi died, he heard something was wrong; there was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

There was no way around it; the black bear was just too big, and it was nighttime, so the entire forest was completely silent. Even the slightest movement would be amplified.

But he wasn't sure what was going on, so he didn't speak up when asked by his fellow villagers.

He kept trying to figure out why the heavy object had fallen, when suddenly he remembered something and became agitated. "It's dead! It's the sound of something falling."

Immediately after these words, a younger colleague, unaware of the situation, asked, "Brother Daqiang, what died?"

Without hesitation, Shen Daqiang said, "Hei Xiazi is dead. It was the sound of Hei Xiazi falling to the ground after he died."

These words caused chaos within the entire group.

"Brother Daqiang, are you serious? Is that really the sound of Hei Xiazi dying?"

Shen Daqiang replied firmly, "Yes."

The younger man said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and find Black Bear!" He then started to run up the mountain.

He was glared at by Village Chief Shen and told, "Why are you running? Do you even know where Black Bear is?"

The younger generation immediately felt aggrieved after being reprimanded by Village Chief Shen, saying, "Brother Daqiang already knows."

Village Chief Shen retorted without hesitation, "That's not something you should know." He then looked at Shen Daqiang.

"Daqiang, are you serious?"

Shen Daqiang: "Really."

Village Chief Shen: "Are you confident?"

Shen Daqiang: "Eighty percent."

Village Chief Shen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "That's good. So, can you still find where Black Bear is now?"

Shen Daqiang glanced at the spot where the black bear had last made a sound, and nodded firmly, "Yes."

Upon hearing this, Village Chief Shen also became excited, "Then let's go right away!"

It's important to know that a black bear weighs no less than an adult wild boar.

If they can successfully find the bear, the whole village can celebrate the New Year.

Upon hearing the village chief's words, Shen Daqiang no longer hesitated, and with torches in hand, he led his men to rush towards Shen Zhi.

Shen Zhigang had only rested for half a day and hadn't fully recovered when he heard a series of hurried footsteps.

Shen Zhi's face immediately tightened in fright. He couldn't understand why anyone would come up the mountain so late at night.

But his actions were faster than his thoughts. The moment the footsteps approached, he rushed out, picked up the little fox, and threw it into his basket.

Just then, Shen Daqiang and his men rushed over. Seeing Shen Zhi's blood-covered face, he was completely stunned. "Shen Zhi?"

Shen Zhi was also a little confused when he saw Shen Daqiang and the others. "Why are you here?"

Shen Daqiang pointed at the black bear on the ground and said without hesitation, "We're here to find the black bear."

"And you?"

Shen Zhi: "Me too."

Shen Daqiang glanced at Shen Zhi's blood-stained face and tattered clothes, and asked uncertainly, "Wasn't that you who was fighting with Hei Xiazi just now?"

Shen Zhi: "Mm."

Upon hearing this, the entire team began to lose heart, because if Shen Zhi killed the black bear alone, then this thing would have nothing to do with them.

Shen Zhi noticed their disappointment and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why did you all suddenly come up the mountain to look for Black Bear?"

Shen Daqiang: "It's all because of this black bear. It came out once this afternoon, and then it came again tonight."

"We originally intended to guard your house, but upon closer listening, we discovered that these bears were actually fighting."

"Thinking we might be able to get a bargain, that's why we all came up the mountain."

"I didn't expect to run into you here. Didn't you say you were still at the garrison? How come you're here all of a sudden?"

Shen Zhi sighed helplessly, "I originally planned to go up the mountain to catch some wild rabbits to improve my life, but as soon as I got up the mountain, I saw this guy, sneaking around and staring at my house."

"They didn't run away when they saw me coming, they even wanted to eat me, and then a fight broke out."

"Look at the damage you did to me."

Shen Daqiang naturally noticed Shen Zhi's disheveled state, but he also saw the numerous wounds on Hei Xiazi's body.

He couldn't help but pat Shen Zhi on the shoulder and praise him, "You're really something, kid."

"I've lived most of my life here, and I've never heard of anyone who could kill a black bear single-handedly."

Shen Zhi couldn't help but give a wry smile. "Alright, stop flattering me."

"If I hadn't brought so much stuff, I would have died here too." After saying that, he looked at Village Chief Shen.

"Uncle Shen, what do you think we should do with this bear?"

Village Chief Shen quickly waved his hand, "You killed him yourself, so you can deal with it yourself."

Shen Zhi remained silent for a long while before saying, "Then how about this? My injuries are quite severe, and they can't be treated by taking me down there."

"How about this? You help carry it back, and then skin the bear for me, give me two bear paws, and you can divide the rest as you see fit, okay?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the group immediately began to stir. They knew that with Shen Zhi dividing things up like this, it was practically like they were getting something for free.

Village Chief Shen was also somewhat surprised. "Shen Zhi, are you sure you want to divide it like this?"

Shen Zhi: "Confirmed."

"My family has been building a house recently, and we've troubled everyone quite a bit."

"My wife is home alone and can't treat you all to a meal, so consider this black bear as my treat for everyone."

Shen Daqiang was still a little embarrassed. "This is what we should do. One thing at a time. Besides, my sister-in-law has already paid us."

Shen Zhi: "Wages are wages, and sentiments are sentiments."

"If you really feel bad about it, when our house starts construction tomorrow, please go and help us out if you can."

"I hope my family can move into our new house before the harvest season ends."

As soon as these words were spoken, people began to reassure him, "Brother Shen Zhi, don't worry!"

"I'll go over to help first thing tomorrow morning, and I guarantee your family will be able to move into their new house as soon as possible."

"Brother Shen Zhi, I'll go too, I can help."

"I'll go too. Although we're not from the same family, we're from the same village, so it's just a small favor I can do to help."

As more and more people chimed in, Village Chief Shen gradually softened. "Since that's the case, let's not stand on ceremony. Let's carry it back to the village and distribute it to everyone today."
