Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 162: Brown Bears

However, after the boy gained his freedom, he didn’t disturb her, likely concerned about his mother’s well-being.

Seeing Cheng Xiaoxiao pause, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "How’s my mother?"

"As long as she gets through the next twenty-four hours, she’s past the danger period."

"What, what hours?" Gu Yan asked, confused.

"Twelve periods of time."

Gu Yan politely said thank you and went to take care of his mother.

Although the female hooligan’s way of speaking was peculiar, it didn’t prevent him from getting the main point: his mother would gradually get better in twelve periods.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was still calculating the antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and other miscellaneous medicines she had secretly used earlier, costing her 615 System Coins. Now, her account only had 4,867 System Coins left.

That’s a blood loss!

Just then, on the other side of the mountain, from within a hidden cave, came a sparse noise.

It was like the rhythm of some animal just waking up.

Accompanied by snorting sounds, it blew over a patch of grass, and quickly the sparse sound changed in tone, and the ground around began to tremble.

Two enormous creatures appeared outside the cave entrance.

They sniffed the air and caught a faint, bloody scent, instantly becoming excited.

Under their massive bodies, a small head popped out, belonging to an adorable black bear cub.

The little black bear had a thick and round body, covered with black fur that was both dense and long.

As it walked, its fur and flesh trembled together, which was hilariously cute in its plumpness.

But its parents didn’t look so friendly, baring their fangs with foul-smelling mouths drooling saliva, they roared fiercely, revealing their viciousness.

They swiftly tossed their silly son onto their back and took long strides out, hunting couldn’t wait.

Meanwhile, unaware of the approaching danger, Cheng Xiaoxiao tidied up the bloodstains on herself and changed into a dress, wearing the pale purple embroidered silk dress that belonged to the boy’s mother.

Rich people’s clothes are too complicated; she struggled for quite some time to put it on. It was too big, so she had to tighten the belt to barely make it look decent.

Gu Yan was growing impatient waiting outside the carriage when she finally strolled out.

In the flashlight’s afterglow, the young girl appeared gentle and charming, her almond-shaped eyes glittering with moisture.

Gu Yan was momentarily amazed, internally exclaiming that the female hooligan looked quite good, after all.

Noticing the brightness in the boy’s eyes, Cheng Xiaoxiao smirked proudly, "How is it? Your boss is still your boss."

That arrogant, ruffian vibe utterly ruined any sense of beauty, and Gu Yan only thought he must have gone blind just now to find the female hooligan attractive.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was still not quite used to the dress, tugging and pulling it to ensure the slippery fabric wouldn’t flash anything while moving.

Although she wasn’t afraid of exposure, as she was wearing her own homemade underwear!

If it were in her previous life, she could have strolled down the streets with just the innerwear, but that’s not possible here.

Sigh!

She could only adapt to the local customs!

Gu Yan snorted with laughter!

Pretending to be so aloof, refusing jewelry and accessories, yet just a pretty dress reveals her true nature, the female hooligan is indeed a yokel.

Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly turned around, suspiciously staring at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan immediately straightened his expression, pretending nothing had happened.

This little brat must have been mocking her, really needs a lesson.

Yue Mountain’s vast territory, System’s scanning range wasn’t set too far, but as the black bears crossed over the mountain peak, roaming the forest on this side, they were suddenly captured by the system.

The system’s energy quickly scanned toward the two rapidly moving dark masses, and upon scanning, it was a shock.

Oh my!

Unexpectedly, there were two massive bears, or rather three, as one of them had a small one on its back.

They were quickly approaching, clearly having caught the scent of blood, after all, so many people had died here.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was just about to draw a card; she needed to claim her prize in the remaining time.

Suddenly, the system in her mind urgently said, "Host, host, something’s wrong, three black bears are charging this way, possibly drawn by the scent of blood, evacuate quickly."

What?

Black bears, no way!

Those legendary behemoths, she had never seen them in person, having never even visited a zoo in her previous life.

In her understanding, polar bears were clumsy and cute.

But the wild black bears of this world must be ferocious!

She couldn’t care about the prize anymore, and hurriedly told the boy, "It’s not safe here, let’s go, let’s go."

Gu Yan didn’t understand, seeing the female hooligan’s face suddenly turned fearful, her voice sharpening.

His heart followed with anxious tension, "What happened?"

"Black bears are coming!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao was frustrated, she had been careless, thinking the task was accomplished, and she could leave anytime, but didn’t consider whether the people she saved could survive in this wilderness.

Gu Yan’s mind went blank, "B-b-black bears."

"Help out! What are you dawdling for?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao scolded the still-dazed Gu Yan.

Gu Yan swallowed nervously, are there really black bears?

He wanted to confirm, but was caught off guard and pulled by the female hooligan, stumbling a few steps.

He could only suppress his inner panic and quickly help out.

Regardless of their presence, better to evacuate first!

With so many dead bodies here, it will definitely attract a bunch of wild beasts.

Cheng Xiaoxiao and Gu Yan worked together to carry Gu Ming and Feng Siniang into the carriage, but in front of the carriage were over a dozen corpses of men in black, blocking their path.

They had no choice but to get off the carriage and move the black-clad corpses out of the way.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was extremely anxious, the system continuously updated the distance between the black bears and them in her mind.

Getting closer, closer.

She hadn’t finished moving the last two corpses yet.

System: "Host, hurry up, there’s no time!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao hastened her pace and actions, and just as she moved the final corpse and was about to drive away.

System: "It’s over, there’s no time left."

A tall black bear approached with big strides.

Roar!

Amidst the swaying shadows of the trees ahead, its form slowly appeared, blocking their path forward, while more black-clad corpses were behind them, making it impossible for the carriage to retreat.

Now both forward and backward paths were blocked, it was literally a case of no way to heaven, no door to earth.

As the majestic and massive body approached with trembling steps, a sliver of faint moonlight revealed.

They could vaguely see that the towering shadow was unbelievably tall, not three meters but at least two meters eight.

Both swallowed hard, feeling as insignificant as ants in front of the mountainous black bear.

Gu Yan gripped his sword tightly, his palms sweaty, stammering as he asked the person beside him, "W-what do we do now?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao was speechless, how would she know what to do?

Is this world too fantastical, or was her previous understanding insufficient, how could she not know black bears were as "grand" as a small building?

Simply terrifying.

She couldn’t abandon Gu Ming and run, if the task failed, she’d lose her body and be done for.

Truly a predicament, and there was a little brat, oh... no, a little follower beside her she couldn’t ditch and run away herself, what a headache.
