Chapter 67: Hunt and Thunder Strike (2)

He observed his teammates’ actions. Most of them had a tacit understanding. They advanced and retreated accordingly, constantly pulling and cooperating, leaving more wounds on the bear.

While his teammates were covering for him, Weiss kept circling around the back and poking at the Bear’s back door. He had really grasped the essence of the skill “Chrysanthemum is the Body’s Weakness1” and displayed his personal tactical style of popping the balls. Wherever the spear pointed only led to the balls.

However, there was no one on Zhou Jing’s side to cooperate with him, so he could only wander around alone to find an opportunity.

The moment they exchanged blows, he had spent 10 Astral Realm Points to check the attributes of the Claw Rending Bear.

[Attributes: Physical Fitness 38, Resistance 40 (Level 1 Max), Perception 7, Spirit 8, Energy 0]

“38 points of physical fitness must be related to strength… And its resistance is higher than his physical fitness. So 40 points is the limit of the first level of attributes.”

Zhou Jing observed the battle situation and quickly analyzed it in his mind.

The Claw Rending Bear’s attributes were even stronger than Weber’s, who had already undergone his Second Enhancement. Barong and the other two could only barely hold it back with their combined strength. They were already bleeding from their mouths and noses, which showed how difficult it was for them to resist such a huge beast in terms of strength. Every time they attacked, they suffered a backlash, and their internal injuries slowly worsened.

Zhou Jing also realized that perhaps because he was a newcomer, the other hunters did not cooperate with him, which left him out.

However, it also indirectly created a situation where his other teammates were able to withstand more pressure while he had ample space to attack.

Although this might not have been the hunters’ intention, Zhou Jing was still excited.

“I can’t waste these conditions…”

Zhou Jing’s eyes flickered, but his mind surprisingly became calmer.

He did not rush forward immediately. Instead, he maintained his current speed and followed the team’s pace to attack. He silently observed and recorded the Claw Rending Bear’s combat habits.

It was as if he was learning a subject on his own. He quickly estimated his agility and the bear’s attack reaction, assessing it against his own Physical Fitness to see if he could compete against it.

While he was focused on observing, the hunters were shouting nonstop at each other.

“Don’t stand on its left. It’s used to attacking that position!”

“Hit its feet and hind leg joints and slow it down!”

The hunter in charge of damage kept attacking, but his weapon could barely cut through the tough fur, leaving only some shallow cuts. At most, it could only break the balance of the Claw Rending Bear, allowing him to share the pressure with Barong and the others.

Because the bear was completely covered in tough fur, they would have to hit its vitals to inflict any sort of serious damage. However, its vital points were not as obvious as the White Spider, so it was not as easy to deal with compared to the spider.

Many hunters consciously attacked its vital points, but so long as the Claw Rending Bears tilted its body slightly, it could avoid the attacks aimed at its vital points and reduce its damage.

“Eyes, ear holes, crotch…”

Zhou Jing silently counted the vital parts. His gaze wandered around the Splitting Claw Bear’s body before finally locking onto its eyes.

“Five meters tall… If I jump up with all my might, I should be able to stab its eyes. But, I’ll become a target in midair and won’t be able to dodge its next counterattack. So, it’s best if I can climb onto this bear’s body… It requires very agile movements. The Lightning Strike Leopard Potion mainly enhances my agility and explosive power… I can do this!”

Zhou Jing took a deep breath, his excitement for battle reigniting.

In the next moment, his mind emptied, and his distracting thoughts dissipated. He became extremely focused.

The Claw Rending Bear in his line of sight seemed to have lost its flesh, blood, and fur. It was as if only its skeleton was left, revealing the most fundamental trajectory of the bear.

I see it!

Zhou Jing’s eyes turned cold. He threw away the heavy saber and pulled out the long saber at his waist. He switched to his left hand and stepped down hard on the soles of his feet, his speed suddenly increasing.

Whoosh!

Like a green bolt of lightning, he suddenly broke apart from the team and quickly approached the Claw Rending Bear from the side.

“Roar!” The Splitting Claw Bear noticed it and roared as it swung its huge palm down.

Zhou Jing made an emergency turn as he charged, narrowly avoiding the sharp claws.

Peng!

The bear paw left a deep palm print on the ground.

The moment his body brushed past the bear’s paw, Zhou Jing’s right hand suddenly reached out, grabbed the thick fur on the bear’s arm, and pulled hard on it.

The power contained in his body exploded at this moment. He leaped up and jumped onto the Splitting Claw Bear’s arm. His right hand kept pulling against the thick fur to allow him to jump up along the arm of the Splitting Claw Bear like an agile gecko.

“Do you want to die?! Come down!”

The expressions of the hunters changed. They did not expect the newbie to suddenly charge forward, and they hurriedly tried to stop him.

They knew that they could climb up the Split-Clawed Bear’s body, but no one did so. This required greater agility without mistakes. Otherwise, they would lose the chance to dodge. As long as the Claw Rending Bear slapped them with its other hand or rolled on the ground, they could finish off the hunter who climbed up.

Barong’s expression changed, and he cursed inwardly. He hadn’t expected Jason to still be reckless after he had instructed him several times.

In his opinion, he was just asking to die.

The Claw Rending Bear, at this moment, sensed that something was crawling on its body, and its other paw slapped Zhou Jing, who was on its arm as if it was swatting a fly.

The strong bear’s paw enlarged infinitely in his vision while he was still hanging in midair.

Zhou Jing suddenly held his breath as if he had locked his strength in his body.

A spark of lightning flashed through his eyes!

[Thunder Strike]!

An electrifying stimulation instantly spread throughout his entire body, and his strong body suddenly produced an even stronger explosive force.

Peng!

The bear paw hit the arm, but it missed its target.

At the critical moment, Zhou Jing stepped on the Claw Rending Bear’s arm and leaped into the air, passing through the range of the bear’s attack.
