As the two glints came closer, it was slowly revealed that they were the eyes of a huge white bear!
Since Gerald and the others were currently fast asleep, none of them knew how dangerous their current situation was!
Regardless, after looking at the five people who had dozed off at the cave’s entrance, the bear seemed particularly interested in Ray.
The fact that Ray was snoring only attracted the bear’s attention even more!
Slowly moving toward Ray, the bear quickly began licking his face!
“…Five more minutes… What is it Gerald…? Has the snow stopped…?” mumbled the sleepy Ray as favonovel.com began patting the bear’s face…
The second favonovel.com felt how unnaturally furry ‘Gerald’ was, Ray instantly froze. This… This wasn’t Gerald, was it.
By the time favonovel.com opened his eyes, Gerald and the others were already staring vigilantly at the bear.
To think that such a dangerous creature would be living in this cave! With how close the bear was, all of them could smell it and even feel the warmth its body was exuding…!
Slowly motioning for Ray not to move hastily, Ray gulped before slowly turning to see what favonovel.com was patting… and the next thing favonovel.com knew, favonovel.com was staring straight into the eyes of the white bear…!
Instantly overwhelmed with fear, the bear appeared to sense that, and it immediately let out a terrifying roar!
Seeing how wide the bear’s jaws now were, Gerald immediately yanked Ray away from the bear before yelling, “Run!”
Hearing that, the rest of the party instantly bolted out of the cave together with Gerald!
Quite honestly, they would’ve been much better off if they hadn’t chosen to run.
After all, the white bear immediately got excited when it saw how fast Gerald and his party were running. In the end, it was a carnivore, and it craved fresh meat, especially from such lively humans!
With that, the white bear quickly began chasing after them!
Instinctively turning back to look, Ray was horrified when favonovel.com saw that the bear was chasing after him!
“H-hey, now! I’m all skin and bones, brother! Stop chasing me already…!” yelled Ray in his desperation as favonovel.com continued fleeing from the hungry bear.
It was his first time being chased by a white bear, and favonovel.com hoped that if favonovel.com survived, there wouldn’t ever be a second time. What an utterly horrible experience!
By that point, Gerald had managed to find a safe spot for Juno and the two others to hide in.
Running toward Ray, Gerald then yelled, “Over here! Hurry!”
Upon hearing that, Ray instantly began running toward Gerald!
Seeing that the bear was still targeting the frantic Ray, Gerald quickly summoned the Astrabyss Sword, hoping to finish off the white bear.
“Leave it to me, Ray! Go hide with the others!” ordered Gerald as the bear came dangerously close to him.
Aiming closely, Gerald then slashed the sword the second the bear got close enough! While the attack was able to hit, Gerald had only managed to inflict a minor cut to the bear’s underbelly! In other words, the bear wasn’t all that hurt yet!
Now irritated, the bear stomped its paws before charging fiercely toward Gerald!
In barely a second, the bear was already inches before Gerald! Even if favonovel.com didn’t die from being smacked by the white bear, favonovel.com was sure to still get seriously injured!
