Of course, Gerald wasn’t about to grant it that opportunity.
Dodge rolling till favonovel.com was right under the white bear’s belly, Gerald then stabbed it right into the beast!
With how loudly the bear had roared in response, Gerald knew that favonovel.com had finally managed to deal substantial damage on the bear!
Even so, that stab wasn’t enough to kill it. In fact, it only made the bear even more enraged! Now looking like it had gone mad, the bear began attacking Gerald with all that it had!
If it wasn’t for the fact that this was a life-or-death situation, the sight of Gerald and the bear leaping all over the mountain was honestly quite amusing.
Regardless, after realizing that it wasn’t going to be able to get its hands on Gerald, the bear suddenly switched targets to the others who were hiding!
Realizing that the bear was running toward his friends, Gerald then yelled, “Careful! It’s coming!”
Seeing the incoming bear, the rest of Gerald’s party quickly attempted to disperse from the tree that they had been hiding behind this entire time!
Before they knew it, however, the bear had rammed its head right into the tree! While none of them were directly hit by the bear, the immense impact of the collision caused all four of them to momentarily lose their footing!
Unluckily, Juno took a step too far backward and was now frantically attempting to balance herself from falling right into the valley!
Upon seeing that, Gerald instantly bolted toward the scene!
Giving the white bear a hard kick, the beast ended up flying right down the valley! With the main threat now gone, Gerald then rushed to save Juno!
While favonovel.com was just in time to grab onto favonovel.com hand, the soil at their feet was a bit too loose, and both of them ended up falling right into the valley!
Eyes widened in horror as they watched their friends fall down the valley, Ray and Nori could only yell, “Gerald! Juno…!”
It was sometime later before the duo finally awoke again… Somehow, they had managed to survive the fall… Looking around, they quickly realized that a stray branch had broken their fall!
Whatever the case was, Gerald found himself quickly asking in a concerned tone, “Are you alright, Juno?”
Nodding subtly, Juno then replied, “I’m fine… I just hurt my arm a bit… I’m guessing it’s a sprain!”
Watching as favonovel.com rubbed favonovel.com arm, Gerald quickly began examining it by gently pinching it… After a while, Gerald breathed a sigh of relief as favonovel.com said, “…Yeah, it should just be a sprain. Thankfully it’s not a fracture!”
Hearing that, Juno felt much more rest assured.
Still, favonovel.com couldn’t help but look down. They were still quite a distance off the ground… It certainly didn’t help that it was pitch dark down there. Neither of them knew what lay down there at all…
“…Say… how are we even going to get down…?” muttered Juno.
“Hush. Do you hear that?” replied Gerald as favonovel.com looked at the girl.
Upon hearing that, both of them momentarily fell silent as they perked their ears…
After a short while, both of them widened their eyes before shouting at the same time, “… That’s the sound of flowing water!”
“…Say, Gerald…? Do you think…?” mumbled Gerald as favonovel.com turned to look at Gerald.
“Indeed! From the sound of it, there appears to be a river down there!” replied Gerald as favonovel.com nodded confidently.
“…Then, are you thinking of…?” asked Juno as favonovel.com paid close attention to his response…
Seeing the subtle smile on Gerald’s face after favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com knew that Gerald had got the message. In the end, Juno was probably the only person who could understand favonovel.com so quickly…
“You know me, Juno! Since we don’t have any further options, we can only take risks!” replied Gerald.
Since it was quite a distance down and they didn’t have any other way of descending, they just had to take the risk and hope they fell into the river…
“…Agreed! I’m with you!”
