Chapter 380: Chapter 253: Where the Dream Begins_2

The ordinary yet real stories filled Chen Yun with a long-lost sense of peace and simplicity.

At this moment, his heart brimmed with anticipation for tomorrow and love for life.

Simultaneously, he deeply felt that whether it was extraordinary strength or mundane daily life, both were essential parts of the beautiful tapestry of this world.

Before long.

Uncle’s wife brought over some homemade pastries.

Simple, yet filled with deep affection.

Chen Yun didn’t mind that he could only eat snakes, and instead tasted and appreciated the treats sincerely.

Time slipped away quietly without notice.

The sun slowly made its way overhead, and noon had already arrived.

Chen Yun rose with a smile to say farewell.

He didn’t plan to stay for another meal; it was time to visit another friend.

Before leaving, Chen Yun once again expressed his gratitude to Uncle Huang and promised to bring something with him on his next visit.

Then.

As the couple bid farewell, Chen Yun quietly used his nurturing ability to bestow a wave of Life Force on the elderly pair.

This could probably allow them to live a bit longer without illness or disaster.

The exact effects were unclear to Chen Yun, as he hadn’t often tested it on the elderly.

But he was sure it was all beneficial.

Life Force wouldn’t bring negative effects.

At most, Uncle Huang might suddenly find himself with too much energy to expend, perhaps vigorously plowing two li of land with a hoe.

Thinking of the image that showcased the vigor of a man in his old age.

Chen Yun couldn’t help but laugh.

Then, with a satisfied heart, Chen Yun shouldered his backpack and continued on his journey to Laojun Mountain after bidding goodbye to Uncle and Auntie.

After leaving Huangjia Village, Chen Yun followed the winding mountain roads, surrounded by scenery that was refreshing for the soul.

The dense trees shaded the sky, with occasional birdsong, and the fresh air was revitalizing.

He walked along, enjoying the scenery, his mood exceptionally cheerful.

This place was not only where dreams began but also where this journey started.

For this.

Chen Yun was full of anticipation.

But before that, Chen Yun wanted to meet another old friend hidden in the mountains.

As the sun began to dip westward, Chen Yun quickened his pace.

The familiar scenery among the mountains made his eyes flash with nostalgia.

Passing some trees.

Chen Yun’s memory would tell him clearly that he used to dart through these branches.

His extra-dimensional sense of smell, which had transcended the essence of olfactory senses, could now catch the scent of his past self in each place here.

The past self.

Whose material essence used to disintegrate, so he couldn’t smell any scent of his own.

After all, the essence of smell is the free molecules of other substances entering the nostrils.

But now.

Chen Yun’s so-called sense of smell, with his extra-dimensional sense of smell, didn’t play by the rules at all.

No need for the presence of free molecules.

He could smell his own scent.

Moreover, it was a scent that crossed through time and space, capturing every little past moment of himself.

This immersed Chen Yun deeply.

After some time had passed.

Chen Yun, who had been constantly using his Transparent World Perception, paused thoughtfully, and couldn’t help but smile looking in a certain direction as he ambled along.

The one who had seemed unhurried and without an aim now had a sparkle in his eye.

With a Transparent World Perception that covered six hundred meters in radius.

Chen Yun noticed a sleeping black bear nearby in a certain direction.

The bear was large, with shiny black fur, and its breathing was steady and deep.

Clearly, it was sleeping.

Chen Yun softly adjusted his steps, trying to minimize the noise he made as he silently approached the sleeping bear.

When Chen Yun wanted to make a loud noise, he could easily split mountains and rocks.

But when he wanted to be stealthy, no one could detect him.

Rarely using Stealth didn’t mean that he, a Berserker, couldn’t be stealthy.

With his deliberate concealment.

The black bear had no idea that Chen Yun was approaching.

As the distance closed, Chen Yun could feel the distinct scent of the wild beast permeating the air.

The surroundings were filled with a strong scent, foreboding danger.

The air was thick with an unsettling smell that bespoke a beast’s territorial consciousness and latent aggressiveness, leaving traces in the air.

First, he smelled a pungent, ammonia-like odor—this was the scent of a black bear’s urine, secreted to mark its territory.

This odor lingered in the air, carrying with it aggression and warning, as if to silently proclaim, "This is my territory, outsiders keep out."

This smell alone was enough to make most humans’ hearts beat faster involuntarily, reminding them that the creature before them was not a tame pet, but a top predator in the natural world.

Next, Chen Yun noticed a complex odor mixed with soil, sweat, and grease, which was distinctive to a black bear’s skin and fur.

This odor contained wildness and strength, conjuring images of tense muscles and pre-battle preparations.

Though the black bear appeared calm at that moment, the odor revealed its potential for sudden eruption, like a bow drawn and ready to release.

Additionally, Chen Yun caught a hint of the smell of blood.

Faint though it was, it was enough for one to realize that the black bear might have recently enjoyed a meal of its prey.

All these odors together created an atmosphere of threat and uncertainty.

For the average person, each subsequent step must be taken with caution; any misstep could trigger an instinctive reaction from this massive creature, leading to unpredictable consequences.

However, Chen Yun was not afraid at all.

He approached nonchalantly, completely unphased by the so-called danger.

Let’s set aside the fact that the black bear was his friend for a moment.

The black bear’s measly strength could not possibly influence him.

Back when he had just undergone his "slumber evolution" in March, he had dared to face a black bear in the Primitive Forest of Laojun Mountain, let alone now, in late May.

Back then, the black bear would lose teeth if it tried to bite him.

What about now?

A single thermal sight from him could even penetrate dozens, if not hundreds, of black bears.

Invincible in attack, unbeatable in defense.

There was no reason for him to be afraid.

So, Chen Yun approached the fierce predator without any hesitation.

When he reached the black bear’s face,

he reached out without a second thought.

"Elbow, I’ve come to take you out for some good eats again."

Saying this, Chen Yun firmly grabbed the slumbering black bear’s neck and started pulling it in one direction.

Having its neck yanked, the sleeping bear immediately woke up as if forcefully rebooted.

At first, the black bear was bewildered,

Being rudely awakened from slumber was definitely not comfortable, and the bear, having never experienced such an incident before, was naturally bewildered, not understanding what was happening to it.

But shortly after,

Having realized what had happened, the black bear let out a roar and bellowed, swinging its claws as if to crack open the skull of the creature beside it.

Who could stand being woken up like that?

So, the black bear didn’t hesitate to strike with a heavy and potent claw swing.

However... its potent attack was futile.

Chen Yun simply caught the claw with his hand and then tossed it over his shoulder without hesitation.

The black bear had no chance to resist Chen Yun’s tremendous strength.

It immediately experienced a violent aesthetic of striking imagery,

Coming into close contact with the ground.

And that forceful throw,

left the black bear dizzy, shaking its head, feeling as if the whole world had suddenly gained a double image.

The strength of the throw was just right,

Confusing without causing brain damage.

The bear, which had just woken up irritable, suddenly felt clear-headed and refreshed.

After a moment to recover, it fixed its gaze on the person standing leisurely before it.

"Awake now?"

Chen Yun said, smiling at the black bear in front of him.

Once he confirmed that the black bear’s mood had shifted from bewildered and angry to docile and trusting, he wrapped his arm around the bear’s neck and dragged it deeper into the forest.

This time,

The black bear offered no resistance.

Firstly because it recognized Chen Yun, knowing this was its friend.

Secondly...

The black bear was well aware

that it stood no chance of resisting Chen Yun.

So, it gave in.
