[At a distance of 25 meters, can a shotgun guarantee accuracy?] —Conan Edogawa

When receiving such a text message, Qian Yu didn't know how to answer - such a question must have a comparative amount, otherwise it would be a hooligan to discuss it independently.

[What kind of accuracy do you want?] - Chiba Tachibana

[Hit a person like Gray Plains] - Edogawa Conan

Just as he finished sending a text message, his phone vibrated on his phone.

[What do you mean, she got shot!?] - Chiba Tachibana

“！？” Conan was taken aback - it was clearly a reference to the text message he had just sent, but he had just sent it...... What a fast hand speed, no, this should already be called incredible, right?

[That's not true, the murderer missed, probably hit a position of 1.5 meters, which should obviously not be the height of hitting a child] - Edogawa Conan

[Then how do you know that the bullet was fired at Ashbara and not at the dead hunter?] - Chiba Tachibana

[According to the results of the identification of the marks on the ground, the deceased was standing directly in front of the bullet marks before he died, and if it was a hunter, the bullet should have been hit in the chest of the deceased instead of into the stake.] All in all, you can rest assured that they may have been shot, but they were never hit] – Conan Edogawa

[25 meters, if the shotgun can deflect 60 centimeters from a child, it may be a rookie who shoots a shotgun with one hand like a small pistol, but other than that, it's hard for me to imagine this kind of problem.] And if that's the case, it's definitely not the old man's doing, he's far from being like this. - Chiba Tachibana

Just as Chiba was about to continue waiting for Conan's reply, the elderly hunter Saga Matazaburo, who was originally walking in front of him, suddenly stopped and began to look around.

"What's wrong?" Qian Yu was stunned.

"Those children, they've been walking along this forest path just now," the old hunter gestured to the half-dirt path under his feet, which was hardly called a [trail], but was selected because it was balder than most, and then continued to be strengthened in a loop. "But now, their traces are gone."

"Grandpa, can you track their whereabouts?" Qian Yu was taken aback. "I thought you were just looking for ...... along the road"

"They did go this way, I can tell." The old hunter looked around and responded. "But the problem is, now they don't seem to be going on, they're turning into the trail from here – we need to determine where exactly they've gone."

In this silence, both the old hunter and Chiba began to look around - if the Gray Plains Mourning and the others left the main road from here, then they could go in any direction, so any movement before determining the whereabouts of the other party could have a negative impact on the entire rescue effort.

[簌簌-squeak-]

“！？” Chiba had been nervously invoking her vision system to search for traces of Gray Plains in the vicinity, so she didn't adequately power her sense of smell and hearing. But even then, the auxiliary unit was suddenly incoming with anomalous auditory observations. Chiba woke up from a dream and transferred the energy allocated by smell and sight to the auditory part, and compared the natural noise of the jungle that had been recorded earlier, and then heard the results with higher accuracy after filtering.

Heavy footsteps, compaction from the paws of large-tonnage creatures lapping against the soil.

"What's wrong?" The old hunter finally realized that something was wrong with Chiba's state - but probably because of his old age, his ears were not so sensitive. "What did you hear?"

"Sir, what you said before seems to be true." Exposing his back to the elderly hunter, Chiba aimed the launch port of the Traceless Umbrella in the direction from which the sound came. "Because, I seem to hear ......"

The next moment, there was a voice in the jungle that overshadowed Qianyu, and at the same time, the voice that made Qianyu's next statement meaningless. The sound came from something that would scare the average person, even a professional hunter.

A black bear suddenly stood up from the jungle and walked towards Chiba and the old hunter in a standing position on its hind feet.

"Is this the Ten Guards......" Qian Yu muttered.

He had never imagined that the Japanese black bear, or a female bear, could be so large - the bear seemed to be more than half as tall as the old hunter when it stood up, and Chiba could even see that the old hunter obviously needed to look up to see the head of the giant bear about 10 meters away.

[Overall length 2.6-2.7 meters; body shape modeling pre-read weight 320-350 kg.] When the auxiliary unit gave a specific reading, Qian Yu only felt that his scalp was a little numb.

Although this overall length is actually a measure of the height of the Jubei from the head to the bottom of the hind foot, the body length to the base of the tail is generally less than the length of the hind foot, so if the definition of the biological world, the body length of the Jubei may be less than 2.4 meters.

But even 2.4 meters is almost unattainable for a male Japanese black bear, let alone a female bear.

Did this monster grow up eating the antidote to APTX-4869?

"Ten Guards...... It's her, I didn't even notice it! Gritting his teeth, the old hunter grabbed the shotgun with one hand and tried to touch a bottle on his waist with the other, but then stopped with a wary expression. Be careful, this guy is very difficult to deal with - don't turn around, or she'll hunt you down as prey. ”

"At this distance, you can actually fire, right?" Qian Yu stared at the Ten Guards who stood up, and reminded him like this. "The ribcage, about 8 inches (20 centimeters) of lethal area, if you get a shot, ......"

"Someone tried, but it didn't work out well." The old hunter dismissed Chiba's idea. "At least...... Her lethal area may be unusual, so normal bear kills don't do much for her. ”

"Does this she-bear have an enmity with us? Why did you come to us...... Didn't you say that bears don't like to attack humans in general? The expression on Chiha's face was a little desperate - as he suddenly felt that his life might be threatened. Even if it is a traceless umbrella, it is really a little powerless in the face of such a behemoth (whether it is on the offensive end or the defensive end))

But just as he was nervous, the old hunter suddenly shouted loudly.

"Little girl, little girl holding the little bear cub, let the bear go, understand?" He said something that Chiba couldn't understand. "That little cub is the child of the Ten Guards, she may have come for the little bear, if you still want to live, let the little bear out, otherwise you will all die here!"
