Chapter 204 Gentle Giant Brown Bear

Ming stopped in his tracks, seeing the two frogs confronting a towering bear that was standing upright. They were about 20 meters apart.

"Shadowy Purple Eye!" Lavia and Desmond exclaimed in unison, "King-level!!"

"Little Pink, come back!"

Lavia gave the order, and Little Pink hesitated for a moment as it looked at the two frogs communicating with the giant bear. However, it eventually returned to its master's side.

As a puppeteer, the puppet must not disobey their commands.

"Gutmann, aren't you going to call back your frogs?" Lavia was surprised that Ming seemed so calm.

"No hurry, let's wait for a moment." Ming walked slowly forward, standing next to the frogs, and noticed that they were engaging in mysterious animal communication.

They exchanged glances, but today's journey might have caused some disruption anyway. but, As long as the frogs were fine, everything would be okay.

Only then did he take a closer look at the giant bear. The creature stood 4 meters tall when upright, its fur sleek and shiny, looking very warm and inviting – perfect for a large coat.

Ming used his Eagle Eye to examine the bear:

[Five-Star Gentle Giant Brown Bear]

[Physique: 500]

[Strength: 700]

[Agility: 400]

[Spirit: 300]

[Exclusive Skill: Roar of the Great Bear, a furious roar creating a shockwave that causes group deterrence in a fan-shaped area in front, causing targets within 20 meters to be stunned for 0.5 seconds]

[Exclusive Skill: Awakening in progress...]

[Exclusive Talent: Awakening in progress...]

[Status: Hungry...]

[...]

[Weakness: Already starving like a dog... Toss it a bone, and it might bow to you. Believe it or not...]

Ming touched his nose, realizing that this giant bear seemed to be of the same kind as the little crab, the squirrel, and others. Could it be another oddity among the mutated creatures?

Standing a bit farther back, Desmond pulled out his twin blades. "Be ready. It's a 5-star king-level creature, which is equivalent to a shared monster."

"Let's wait and see what Gutmann does first," Lavia took out his longbow and arrow, aiming at the bear's eye.

The two of them kept an eye on the situation ahead, ready to fight at any moment.

[Your frogs tell the giant bear not to be afraid. Their owner, Ming, is very friendly. They continue the mysterious animal communication...]

[foodie turns to you and says, "Case solved. It's just begging for food..."]

"…"

Ming knew that feeding such a large creature would require a significant amount of food. He took out a fish and threw it toward the giant bear.

The bear caught the fish with its paws and sniffed it.

[Your Da Vinci tells the giant bear not to worry. The fish isn't poisonous. If it doesn't believe, it can lick it and taste...]

[Your foodie tells the giant bear to eat. If Ming wanted to harm it, he would have taken out his chainsaw and cut it into pieces by now...]

"Go ahead and eat~"

Ming smiled at the giant bear, not pulling out a chainsaw, but instead taking out his Golden Revolver. After all, he was still a ranged shooter.

Although the weakness detection and the frogs proved that the giant bear was merely "begging for food" and had no malicious intent, he still needed to follow the house rules:

Rule No. 1: Better safe than sorry.

[Your foodie rushed forward, let the giant bear sit down, then jumped up and swallowed the fish on the bear's paw, incidentally licking the paw...]

[foodie glared at Da Vinci, "The bear paw doesn't taste good at all. You tricked me..."]

[Da Vinci rolled its eyes, "I didn't say it's good raw, and you just licked it, you silly thing..." It told the foodie that a hungry bear would lick its paw, and that was just its saliva... foodie turned its head away in disgust, looking at the giant bear... The giant bear nodded...]

[Your foodie looked at you, "Let's kill it and stew the bear paw with fish at home..."]

"Can't you think of anything else besides eating?~" Ming walked forward, took out a fish, and placed it in front of the giant bear. The bear slowly lowered its head, cautiously sticking out its tongue to lick the fish before swallowing it. Its gaze became even gentler.

"It really is a gentle giant brown bear~"

Ming took out another fish. The bear swallowed it... but spat it out, sticking out its tongue... Sighing heavily...

"Sorry~" he didn't notice he had picked up a chili-marinated fish earlier. He got a little nervous, and then took out a sweet and sour fish, stuffing it into the giant bear's mouth... The bear's eyes became gentle once again.

"Let me touch you~" Ming raised his hand, rubbed the bear's head, and the fur really was smooth.

On the other side, Lavia and Desmond had a wide range of expressions.

"Is he taming the giant bear to be his puppet?" Desmond still held his twin blades, asking the person beside him. After all, they were both puppet masters, and they should know more than he did.

"It seems like he's trying to tame it," Lavia held his drawn bow and arrow, showing no signs of relaxation.

Desmond said, "Although I know Gutmann is powerful, I've never seen a puppet master taming a puppet in such a way."

"I haven't seen it either, but that's the confidence of someone with great strength!" Lavia responded with certainty.

Meanwhile, Ming removed his hand from the bear's head. Honestly, even though he wasn't worried about the bear suddenly attacking, it was his first time touching such a huge bear, and he still felt a little nervous and scared.

After a few feedings, he found that the brown bear really loved sweet and sour fish. He stuffed another fish into the bear's mouth, patted its neck, and the giant bear sat on the ground, enjoying the fish provided by the person in front of it.

[Your foodie stared at the giant bear and croaked, "Get going once you're full, our family isn't that wealthy..." The bear continued to eat the fish, paying no attention...]

[Da Vinci informed you that the bear said you're very kind... it likes you... and it doesn't like the two people over there who want to kill it... It said it would repay you...]

[Your froglets stared wide-eyed as the giant bear hugged you, nuzzling your face with its nose and even sticking out the tip of its tongue to lick your nose... The froglets were jealous, cursing the bear for not knowing restraint, and claiming that throwing oneself into someone's arms won't end well...]

"…"

Ming smiled, indeed, this bear was just like the little crabs, a unique creature among the mutated species.

"Is it tamed?" Desmond asked Lavia in surprise.

The latter nodded, "They've become so intimate already. What else can I say? I can only say that Gutmann is definitely one of the strongest puppet masters in the world. His mental manipulation ability is far beyond my reach."

"Is it that amazing?"

"It takes at least 5 seconds to establish a mental bridge, and he took less than 1 second just now. How powerful do you think that is?"

"Powerful!" Desmond nodded, sheathing his twin blades. "People from their division said he could take on a 5-star king-level creature alone. I doubted it before, but now that I've seen this, I completely believe it."

Ming was delighted, wiping the sweat off his palm on the bear's fur. He was still a bit nervous and then asked Da Vinci to inquire if the bear would be willing to come home with them.

[Your Da Vinci looked at the giant bear... and gave it a look. The giant bear looked at you, nodding vigorously... It wanted to lick you...]

[Your froglets saw the giant bear nodding... Your froglets looked at each other... Your froglets looked at you... You have to take it home!!!]

Ming rolled his eyes at them, and rubbed the giant bear's head, "Our family is very thrifty and simple, so eat less from now on~"
