"I can speak too." Murray looked surprised.
Meili didn't know what to say. In her heart, Muri had been a human being from the beginning. Even though he looked a little different, she always treated him as the same as herself. He was a special little bear. Even if there was another little bear that looked the same, they would still be different from him.
Murray didn't force her to answer anything. He just picked her up and followed the two bears in front, keeping a distance as they walked forward.
Meili asked him, "Are they your kind?"
Murray: “I don’t know, maybe.”
As far as he could remember, he didn't know who his parents were, where he came from, and he had never seen anyone of his own race in his entire life.
Now that he was close to the strange voice, he vaguely understood something. He was about to become an adult, and he had to come here to successfully survive the last dangerous period of adulthood. Otherwise, he would not be able to withstand the rapid growth of adulthood, and his skin and flesh would collapse and die. Even if he survived, he would become a crazy, bloodthirsty, and deformed monster.
So even if he is a half-blooded monster that was stranded and grew up alone, the inheritance in his blood would guide him here.
They walked forward, and in addition to the pair of bears that looked like mother and son, they saw three more bears, two big and one small. The little bear was also well taken care of, with lively eyes like a real child. He noticed that Muri and Meili, who were following far behind, tried to come over to take a closer look, but were grabbed by the two big bears.
The further we went, the more bears we saw. A rough count showed that there were over thirty of them.
This group of giant bears as big as hills gathered into a team. Each group of big and small kept a certain distance from each other and did not communicate much with each other.
Mary could feel Muri's nervousness and vigilance. He kept hiding her in his arms, not letting her show any part of herself, as if he was afraid that those huge bears would suddenly become ferocious and rush over to eat her.
It was possible, Merry thought, that they were the real oddities here.
Fortunately, the bears ignored them. They had not reached their destination yet and still needed to cross a vast expanse of ice.
Suddenly, Meili found that the big bear in the front disappeared on the horizon, and one after another, the front of the team continued to disappear. Murray, who was following from a distance, ran a few steps and caught up with the last big bear, and saw how they "disappeared".
It turned out that there was a huge depression ahead, and the bears slid down the steep ice surface that was almost vertical.
The little bear walking at the back was reluctant to go down and was hesitating. The big bear impatiently held him in his arms and protected him as he slid down.
Muri was at the end. Without even looking at the mother and cub bears in front of him, he carefully observed the bears that had slid down first. Seeing that they were fine and had reorganized their team to start on their way, he chose a place with a slightly gentler slope and jumped down without hesitation, holding Meili in his arms.
Mellie covered her mouth to keep herself from screaming.
Murray was not as big as the big bears, and he fell down halfway through the slide due to inertia. He reacted quickly and held Meili in his arms, almost curling up into a ball.
Mary held him in her arms, bit the blanket in her mouth, and closed her eyes tightly to get through the bumpy ride.
Sliding down to the bottom of the ice, Muri spread out his curled up limbs and pulled out Mary who was wrapped inside.
Mary sat on his stomach, swaying and dizzy.
They rolled down so fast that they made quite a noise. The little bear that was ahead of him was a step slower and was brought down by his mother, just sliding near them.
The little bear came closer to look at Mary, "Ah, are you human?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Murray suddenly jumped up and hit him on the nose with his bear paw, making him cry. Not only did he make him cry, but he also showed a fierce look and warned him to stay away.
The little bear returned to its mother aggrieved. Mary was a little worried that the big bear would come and teach Muri a lesson.
Big Bear didn't even look at them, he just beat his crying child. It seemed that he despised the child for being useless.
"Hmph." Murray snorted unhappily and carefully hid Mary again.
He was worried about any magical beast approaching Mary, and he didn't trust these fellow beasts either. Trying to get close to Mary was a provocation to him.
These bears were huge, but he knew he was not afraid of them.
When they got here, the bears’ destination was very near. In front of them were several white mountains, forming a triangle shape.
There is an orange-red river surrounding the mountain, and they need to cross this red river.
The big bears in front consciously carried their cubs on their heads to cross the river. The river was not deep enough to submerge their heads, so the cubs on top of their heads crossed safely without getting touched by any water.
The only little bear here who doesn't have a big bear to lead and help him is Murray.
He imitated the big bears, let Mary sit on his head, and then tried to step into the Red River.
As soon as he entered the red river, Murri felt as if his skin and flesh were being eroded and torn by the river water.
The water in this river is corrosive, and only adult high-level monsters with tough fur can endure it. Even if the skin of underage white bear monsters is thicker than that of ordinary monsters, they cannot withstand such erosion.
But Muri held back. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to lift Mary to the surface of the water.
The middle section was a little deeper, and Murray was submerged in the river water, and Meili's feet were also soaked in water. The pain at that moment made Meili groan, and one leg trembled because of the pain.
Murray didn't hear it, but he suddenly stood up and pushed her to the surface again, and then he didn't let her touch the river again.
After finally reaching the shore, he shook off the water on his body, carried Mary in his arms and followed the bears.
Mary lay on his shoulder and saw that every time he stepped down, a red mark would be printed on the ground. It was not the red river water, but the blood flowing from his body.
She gritted her teeth and said nothing, using her hands to hold back the tears that kept falling, just like she was enduring the pain in her legs just now.
Murri still noticed it. Seeing her face full of tears and noticing that her feet were wet, he thought she had foot pain, so he lifted her feet to take a look.
Meili gasped and choked, "I'm fine... It's you, you're bleeding."
Murray looked puzzled and comforted her: "It's just bleeding, I won't die, don't worry."
When he was a kid, he hunted to fill his stomach, so he was fine no matter how badly injured he was. Even though it was a little painful just now, he didn't take it seriously because he was the best!
Mary felt something stuck in her throat and couldn't speak. She took out the last piece of candy from her pocket and stuffed it into Muri's mouth. She then held his head and stroked it for a long time before she felt a little better.
Muri nudged her with his head, squinted his eyes sweetly, and felt like he could swim in the river again.
The white mountains that formed a triangle on the river bank were not snow-capped mountains. Mary saw the solidified white snow particles and ash on the mountain walls. She took a little and tasted it, and tasted a bitter, astringent and salty taste.
This is Baishishan.
A pool of blue-green water was surrounded by white stone mountains in the center. The green was like the color of Meili's eyes, which made Murray feel familiar. He immediately thought this place was great.
There were many white rocks of different sizes on the edge of the irregular emerald green lake, on which sat some big white bears. It turned out that in addition to this group of more than 30 big and small bears, there were many other white bears that had already arrived here.
When they got here, the little bears no longer needed the big bears to urge them. They happily ran into the green lake and sank to the bottom of the water.
Muri was the last one. He could feel the attraction of Green Lake, but he was worried about leaving Mary alone outside among so many big bears.
He hesitated and carried Mary around the lake, feeling a little anxious.
Meili struggled to jump out of his arms and pushed him into the lake, "Muri, go quickly, you're the only one left!"
Murray was pushed by her into the lake and turned to look at her.
Meili: "I'll wait for you here, no matter how long it takes."
After receiving her assurance, Murray walked into the lake and disappeared into the blue-green water like the other little bears. Meili squatted by the lake and watched for a long time, but the scene below was not clear. She could only sit on a smaller white stone by the lake like the big bears and wait quietly.
The lake was calm and the other big bears were far away from her. They were not moving and if you didn't pay close attention you would think they were just stones.
The temperature here was much higher than outside, and her blanket could no longer cover her, so she took it off and put it aside.
Mary sat there in a trance, her eyes fixed on the lake.
She felt someone was watching her, so she turned her head and saw a big bear not far away turning its head to look at the lake. Not long after, she felt someone watching her from another direction, and when she looked over, she saw a big bear there also looking up at the sky.
She was sure that the big bears were watching her secretly.
Because she was the only one who was different here, they were probably curious about her.
Mary felt a little guilty being alone among so many big bears, so she quietly minimized her presence and didn't make any noise.
Gradually, the big bears stopped paying attention to her and focused on waiting for the movement in the lake.
There were many golden grasses growing deep in the lake. Murray was the last to enter, but he moved quickly. Seeing that his peers were all looking for golden grass to eat, he immediately followed suit.
There were not many golden water plants in the lake, and most of them had been occupied by the bears who arrived earlier. There was one bear in particular who occupied a large area alone. He had grown much larger than the other bears, and his body had expanded two or three times in size.
Murray rushed directly towards him.
The lake water became more turbid, and even the blood below could be faintly seen on the water surface, which showed that the battle below was fierce.
The big bears all stayed quiet and did not get involved in the fight between the minors. Only Mary was nervously holding her bow, fearing that Muri would not be able to defeat the other little bears with his injuries.
Muri successfully snatched the largest piece of golden water grass. Other bears wanted to imitate him and snatch it, but he kicked them away rudely.
This fellow with a strange aura was really too fierce! Every little bear that was beaten by him experienced the cruelty of the adult world in advance.
They are high-level magical beasts, naturally endowed with powerful strength, living in the depths of the polar regions, with few natural enemies. Most white bear magical beasts rarely hunt on their own before they reach adulthood, so how could they defeat the experienced Muri.
