"Follow me!"

  With Gobu Da leaving, only nine goblin underlings were left.

  Li Mehe underlings ba the dire they had fled from earlier.

  "B-Boss, there's ah Magic Bear over there, it's d-dangerous!"

  Seeing their boss leading them towards where the Earth Magic Bear was, the goblins all looked terrified.

  One goblin timidly stepped forward and stammered.

  "With me in front, what are you afraid of? Don't you want to eat bear meat?"

  Hearing the boss say this, it seemed to make sense.

  Even if the Earth Magic Bear appeared, it would only attack the boss in front.

  If the boss got eaten, they could return to the hunting party.

  That would be great!

  The goblins, who were initially a bit scared, became excited again.

  Seeing these silly goblin underlings, Li Meng rolled his eyes.

  Before long, Li Mehe underlings to crouch behind some bushes.

  "Hmm, we're close!"

  With their keen sense of smell, Li Meng could already detect the foul stench of the Earth Magic Bear.

  And the st of goblin flesh.

  This indicated that the Earth Magic Bear wasn't far from here.

  Li Mehe soil on the ground, it was soft.

  "Dig a pit here, a big one!"

  The bushes could obscure the view, and that dumb bear would definitely fall for it.

  The goblins exged gnces, w why the boss wahem to dig a pit.

  "Dig, don't you want to eat bear meat?"

  At the mention of bear meat, the goblins started drooling.

  They quickly used their wooden sticks and hands to dig into the soil.

  "Keep it quiet, don't make too muoise!"

  Under Li Meng's and, the goblin underlings diligently dug the pit.

  Time ticked by, and the pit gradually became deeper and rger.

  "Boss, I'm back!"

  Five hours ter, Gobu Da and two others returned.

  Each carried a groundhog the size of a small dog.

  "Put them here, and keep catg more!"

  The goblins' effi digging was too low.

  The Earth Magic Bear was a massive creature.

  To trap it, the pit had to be big enough.

  It takes three days in simution, and that seems true.

  "Alright, alright!"

  Seeing their digging panions, a hint of schadenfreude fshed in Gobu Da's eyes.

  Catg groundhogs was much easier than digging.

  "Boss, I'm off!"

  The three of them dashed bato the depths of the forest.

  Li Meng, meanwhile, carried a groundhog and stealthily approached the Earth Magic Bear's location.

  The trap would take three days to plete.

  He couldn't let the Earth Magic Bear leave; he had to keep it nearby.

  And food was the biggest lure for a brainless magical beast like the Earth Magic Bear.

  After venturing several miles into the forest, Li Meng finally stopped.

  "This distance should be abht!"

  Looking around, Li Meng tore open the groundhog's belly with a swipe.

  The st of blood immediately filled the air.

  Li Meng tossed the groundhog away and quickly turo hide in the nearby bushes.

  Moments ter, there was movement in the forest.

  A massive Earth Magic Bear followed the st of blood and approached.

  Its enormous body cast a huge shadow in the dim forest.

  Seeing the gigantic Earth Magic Bear from the bushes, Li Meng's face showed a look of shock.

  The oppressive presence of such a rge magical beast was overwhelming.

  It approached the groundhog's corpse and sniffed.

  The fresh blood excited the Earth Magic Bear, and it opes menag maw.

  With oe, it devoured the entire groundhog, chewing it.

  The crag sound of bones made Li Meng's scalp tingle.

  After finishing the groundhog, the Earth Magic Bear y down and fell asleep.

  [Earth Magic Bear]

  [Level: 24]

  [Strength: 51]

  [Defense: 57]

  [Agility: 27]

  [Magic: 7]

  [Steel Muscles and Iron Bones: LV1 (Strength +20, Defense +20, Agility +5)]

  Such terrifying attributes at level 24, Steel Muscles and Iron Bones is indeed a great skill.

  Against such a monster, poison was the only way to kill it.

  Fortunately, goblins were resistant to poison; no one had ever heard of a goblin being poisoo death.

  "Sleep, sleep, in three days, it'll be your end!"

  Li Meng quietly crawled out of the bushes.

  Theealthily left.

  In the following days, Li Meng periodically scattered bait in the forest.

  While the Earth Magic Bear ehe feast delivered to its mouth, its day of doom was drawing closer.

  ***

  Three days ter, in the forest where the trap was set.

  "It should... be ready, right?"

  Looking at the rge pit before him, Li Meng murmured to himself.

  The trap was teers long and wide, and twenty meters deep.

  To prevent the Earth Magic Bear from climbing up the dirt walls.

  The trap was structured to be narrower at the top and wider at the bottom.

  The dirt walls sloped outward, making it difficult for the Earth Magic Bear to climb up.

  "Go hide around!"

  At this critical moment, Li Meng didn't hesitate.

  The exhausted goblin underlings quickly scattered into the bushes.

  Li Meng carried three groundhogs and ran towards the Earth Magic Bear's location.

  About five hundred meters from the trap, Li Meng dropped a gutted groundhog.

  After dropping it, Li Meng sprinted back.

  He dropped anroundhog about three hundred meters from the trap.

  The st groundhog was dropped less than a hundred meters from the trap.

  After tossing the st groundhog, Li Meng quickly hid behind a rge tree, patiently waiting.

  Time slowly passed, and the forest was silent.

  Hiding behind the tree, Li Meng was extremely nervous.

  He was a hundred meters from the trap, and although the Earth Magic Bear was clumsy, it wasn't slow.

  If he slipped up, he'd be done for.

  Crack!

  Suddenly, the sound of a breaking branch echoed in the forest.

  Li Meng's heart tightened, and he looked tense.

  It's ing, it's ing!

  Yes, the Earth Magic Bear was ing.

  The massive shadow gradually emerged from the depths of the forest.

  Following the st of blood, it found the groundhog and began to chew.

  "Let's do this, now's not the time to chi out."

  With a determined expression, Li Meng leaped out from behind the tree.

  "Hey, big dumb bear! F**k you!!"

  Li Meng shouted at the Earth Magic Bear.

  He even gave it the middle finger, an iional gesture.

  The appearance of a goblin startled the Earth Magic Bear.

  But seeing it was just a tiny creature, a hint of mockery appeared in its blood-red eyes.

  Li Meng turned and sprinted into the depths of the forest.

  Seeing its prey run, the Earth Magic Bear let out a roar.

  Roar!

  The beast's roar echoed through the forest, startling a flock of birds.

  Driven by its hunting instincts, the Earth Magic Bear chased after Li Meng.

  Its massive body made the ground shake as it ran, like a heavy tank charging through.

  Hearing the approag noise behind him, Li Meng broke out in a cold sweat.

  Faster, faster.

  Li Meng ran recklessly, diving into the bushes with a leap.
