Chapter 1659
Even Hei Xiazi is nothing special.
Wang An used all his strength in that axe blow, practically putting in every ounce of effort, and the axe was aimed straight at the black bear's head.
The main problem is that axes are different from other tools. They are only used for chopping and smashing, and they are not very effective against tough-skinned wild animals.
Because if a human were to use an axe to chop at a black bear, at most it would only cause the bear some pain, but it wouldn't cause any real damage.
The main reason is that black bears have very thick and elastic fur, and the layer of fat underneath is also very thick. Therefore, the force of an axe chopping down is basically broken down by the fur and fat.
Moreover, the axe in Wang An's hand was a common carpenter's axe, not a thinner and faster broad axe.
Therefore, apart from chopping off the black bear's head, Wang An really couldn't think of any other use for this axe.
Black Bear leaped onto the vehicle quickly, but Wang An's axe fell even faster.
If there were onlookers, they would have noticed that the bear seemed to be trying to see which was harder, his head or the tip of an axe.
So, unsurprisingly, Wang An's axe struck Hei Xiazi squarely on the head.
The bear let out a miserable howl, and its entire body stiffened for a moment, or rather, it was stunned. After all, although the axe was meant to chop, the force was considerable. Even if the bear's head was hard, it would definitely be buzzing after being hit like that.
After a moment of stiffness, the black bear fell backward onto its back.
Wang An instinctively tugged at the axe, intending to pull it back and chop again later, but to his surprise, the axe became embedded in the bear's forehead and couldn't be pulled out at all.
Furthermore, Wang An's arm was dragged down by the weight of the black bear and the axe, and he was almost pulled off the back of the sidecar.
This black bear isn't very big, weighing only about 230 or 240 pounds.
Even if Wang An were strong, he couldn't lift more than 200 kilograms with one hand. Besides, Wang An was standing on the car with his body leaning forward, so he couldn't exert much force with his arms.
Fortunately, Wang An felt a weight on his arm and his upper body was pulled down, so he immediately let go of the axe.
Then, from Wang An's perspective, he saw that Hei Xiazi had an axe embedded in his forehead and was lying on his back on the ground.
However, falling from that height is like rolling over for the black bear, so after falling to the ground, it just rolled back up.
Immediately afterwards, the black bear stood up, howling loudly, and frantically pried at the axe on its head with its two front paws.
It was obvious that the axe embedded in the bear's forehead made him feel quite uncomfortable.
However, it must be said that the axe was really stuck, and even with Hei Xiazi's strength, he couldn't pry it off even after several attempts.
It's a great pity that Wang An's axe blow failed to damage Hei Xiazi's brains; otherwise, Hei Xiazi would definitely be dead by now.
Even so, it must be admitted that the black bear is incredibly resilient to drought. Even with an axe embedded in its head, it still manages to jump around like a leopard.
Although Hei Xiazi couldn't take care of himself for the time being, Wang An was also panicking because he was now without his weapon.
Subconsciously, Wang An shouted to Wang Li:
"Fifth Brother, quick, give me your axe." The events that happened in the blink of an eye left Wang Li still reeling, so Wang An's shout jolted him awake.
He hurriedly agreed and handed the axe that he had casually tucked into his waistband to Wang An.
Wang An took the axe, and immediately felt a little safer.
Although the axe wasn't very useful, it was still a weapon! It was a hundred times better than fighting the bear bare-handed. The main thing was that Wang An felt that if he punched the bear, it would be about the same as giving the bear a back massage.
Of course, the main reason was the effectiveness of that axe blow, which gave Wang An the feeling that "even a bear is nothing special."
Yes, that's exactly the feeling!
Despite his feelings, Wang An spoke very honestly to Wang Li:
"Fifth Brother, get out of the car, let's run!"
As he spoke, Wang An jumped off the carriage, brandishing his axe as if ready to attack Hei Xiazi at any moment, while keeping an eye on whether Wang Li had gotten off the carriage.
However, although the gesture was made, it was absolutely impossible for Wang An to take the initiative to attack Hei Xiazi.
The main problem is that the black bear's claws are too sharp. Even a casual scratch from it would cause at least a minor injury, so Wang An would not go near it.
Upon hearing Wang An's instructions, Wang Li jumped down from the sidecar. However, instead of running away, Wang Li walked to Wang An's side, seemingly intending to fight the black bear alongside him.
Wang An noticed Wang Li's movement, turned his head to glance at Wang Li, and roared angrily and urgently:
"Run! What the hell are you looking at? Run, you idiot, fuck!"
At this moment, Wang An was extremely angry. Although Wang Li's actions were intended to help him deal with Hei Xiazi, and he was definitely well-intentioned, Wang An would have already run away long ago if he wasn't afraid that Wang Li wouldn't be able to escape.
As for the idea of fighting Hei Xiazi, don't even mention it; Wang An has no interest in that.
Whether he can win is another matter, but it is certain that Wang An will get injured during the fight.
If someone is careless and gets killed by the Black Bear, it's quite normal.
So, how stupid must Wang And be to go head-to-head with a crazed black bear?
Seeing that Wang An was really desperate and looked like he was going to kill him, Wang Li turned around and ran towards the village with a conflicted expression.
This is what the older generation calls "the heart of the people, the saddle of the horse." When a companion is in danger, the first thought is not to run away, but to find a way to get the companion out of danger.
Wang An didn't look at Wang Li, but stared intently at Hei Xiazi, his axe resting on his shoulder, ready to swing at any moment, while his foot had already stepped backward.
One step, two steps, three steps. Wang An only took five steps back in a row before suddenly turning around, swinging his long legs and running. He was incredibly fast, his shoes were practically smoking from the effort.
There was no way to avoid running; the black bear was truly ferocious and incredibly powerful. Wang An had previously tried to pull the axe embedded in its forehead but failed, yet the bear had managed to pry it off. (End of Chapter)
