"Cough cough..." Qiao Jiajin lay on the ground, coughing continuously, feeling as if his internal organs had been shattered.

Little Glasses reacted quickly, immediately getting up and starting to reset the iron plate.

"Come and help!" he shouted to the several women behind him, "If these two fall, we're all done for!"

Although the girls were scared, they knew the situation was urgent. They all bent down and gritted their teeth, starting to move the iron plate.

Qi Xia lay on the ground, feeling a bit dizzy.

It seemed that the impact from the black bear had even knocked his soul away. He really didn't know how Qiao Jiajin managed to withstand two attacks on his own.

"I'll make that fat guy who ran away suffer..." Qiao Jiajin gritted his teeth and cursed.

"Seeking profit and avoiding harm... it's human nature..." Qi Xia lay on the ground, silently reciting, "As the 'Zouji General Liang Shang' says, 'As for seeking profit and avoiding harm, fearing death and enjoying life, they are all the same.'"

"Are you dumb from the impact?" Qiao Jiajin struggled to open his eyes and looked at Qi Xia, "What does that have to do with General Liang? If it weren't for that idiot idot abandoning us all of a sudden, the iron plate wouldn't have collapsed like this..."

By now, the iron plate had been lifted up by the girls, and Little Glasses bent down again to pull Qi Xia and Qiao Jiajin. "Guys, are you okay?"

The two stood up, weakly supporting the iron plate.

"We can't say 'okay,' we can only say 'not dead,'" Qiao Jiajin replied, glancing at the black bear.

After this collision, the beast's condition didn't seem to have improved much. Its huge body seemed disoriented, constantly shaking its head to stay awake.

"It's my turn this time!" Little Glasses said, "You two rest at the back of the team."

With that, he imitated Qiao Jiajin's posture, lowering his body and using his shoulder to support the iron plate.

But Little Glasses looked too weak. Just supporting the iron plate seemed extremely difficult for him. His legs trembled continuously, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

"Damn... is this iron plate so heavy..." he seemed to feel that his posture was wrong, so he slightly adjusted the angle of his legs, but the iron plate didn't become any lighter.

"Brother, I trust you," Qiao Jiajin shook his head helplessly, "If we're just relying on you to support the iron plate, it's meaningless for us to stand behind. We'll die either way."

"Then... why don't you do it instead..." Little Glasses smiled awkwardly and stood aside.

By now, the team had basically adjusted their defensive formation, and Qiao Jiajin once again leaned against the iron plate.

The black bear had also almost regained consciousness. It wanted to attack the iron plate again, but it saw a middle-aged man standing alone.

"Oh no! Old Lv!" Little Glasses suddenly panicked, "Hurry up and come over!"

"Hmph," Qiao Jiajin coldly snorted, "If that fat guy wants to go out and seek death, let him."

"No... I can't..." Little Glasses's expression turned cold, "Old Lv saved my life before, I can't just ignore him!"

"You're so stupid," Qiao Jiajin said.

But before Little Glasses could think of a way to save Old Lv, the black bear had already blocked the path between the crowd and Old Lv.

It seemed to understand that once Old Lv hid behind the iron plate, it would no longer have a chance to kill him.

Little Glasses looked extremely anxious at this moment. After hesitating for a long time, he turned to Qi Xia and said, "Can you save Old Lv?!"

Qi Xia's eyes turned cold as he said, "Yes, you can go save him, I won't stop you."

"I... I can't... so I wanted to ask for your help..." Little Glasses trembled as he spoke, "You seem like a capable person, can you please help me..."

"I can't," Qi Xia said without hesitation, "If you want to go, go by yourself."

After hearing Qi Xia's words, Little Glasses wanted to say something, but he realized that he didn't have a suitable reason to ask a stranger to risk their life for him.

He pondered for a long time and could only grit his teeth and say, "Well... then I'll go save him..."

He slowly released his hand that was holding onto Qi Xia's clothes and stared at the black bear.

Immediately after, Little Glasses took three deep breaths in a very comical manner, then shouted to boost his courage. He stomped his right foot on the ground and was about to charge towards the black bear.

Just as the situation was critical, Qi Xia reached out and stopped him.

"Oh my god..." Little Glasses was startled and almost twisted his waist from being stopped like that, "What are you doing?!"

"You will die, aren't you afraid?" Qi Xia asked slowly.

"Can I not be afraid?!" Little Glasses was on the verge of tears, "But I can't just watch Old Lv die!"

"In that case, let's make a deal," Qi Xia stared at the black bear not far away and said, "If I can let you both survive this game, your 'Dao' will belong to me."

"Huh?" Little Glasses didn't expect Qi Xia to suddenly make such a request, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

"Of course, if you don't want to, you can go save him yourself."

Qi Xia's tone brooked no argument, momentarily putting Little Glasses in a dilemma.

He and Old Lv had staked their lives to participate in this game, but they hadn't even obtained a single 'Dao.' What was the meaning of all this?

"I can only promise to give you my 'Dao,' but as for Old Lv's..." Little Glasses said hesitantly, "I don't know if he would agree."

"Then you can guarantee it for him," Qi Xia said, "You two are together, right?""I...I..." Little Glasses pondered for a while, but still felt that 'life' was much more important than 'promise', "Alright...I'll vouch for him. If both of us survive, our 'promise' is yours."

"Good." Qi Xia nodded, "Take off your shoes and give them to me."

"What?"

"Your shoes." Qi Xia repeated.

Little Glasses, not knowing what he was up to, quickly took off his dirty sneakers and handed them to Qi Xia.

"Hunting rules, animals are naturally sensitive..." Qi Xia silently recited in his heart, "First taboo, attacking from the back."

Qi Xia weighed one of the sneakers in his hand, then suddenly took a step forward and threw it forcefully, hitting the Black Bear's back.

This startled the Black Bear greatly, its entire body seemed to tremble, and it quickly turned around to look around.

"Second taboo, severely injuring the nose."

Qi Xia picked up the other sneaker and threw it hard at the Black Bear's face.

The sneaker hit the Black Bear's nose. Although the force was not great, it made the bear stagger.

The Black Bear was enraged again, completely ignoring Old Lv in front of it, and turned to charge at Qi Xia.

Qi Xia reacted quickly, immediately pulling on Qiao Jiajin's clothes, adjusting the direction of the Iron Plate.

The Black Bear's attack this time seemed to have no strategy, it simply slapped the Iron Plate with its front paw.

Once, twice, three times.

Although it was roaring madly, the power of these attacks was clearly less than before, all of them were blocked by Qiao Jiajin and the Iron Plate.

Old Lv also ran over in a panic at this time, joining the team.
